Critical Mediations, the annual graduate student conference in Communication and Cultural Studies at Annenberg, is happening on campus at ANN (Wallis Annenberg Hall) tomorrow! We guide this year’s conference with a series of questions: how does the meaning of a cultural object change once it has been deemed ‘canonical?’ How are these determinations made? When writing (and re-writing) the genealogy of Communication and Cultural Studies, who is given a platform, historical or otherwise, at the expense of others? How can canonical texts be reread or reclaimed for contemporary, potentially oppositional use? Your classmates, Paulina and I, are part of the organizing committee and we think many of the panels will be of interest to this class :) Miles will be starting the day off as the first speaker for the Pop Culture's Canon(s) panel, and we will be ending with a keynote by Dr. Paula Chakravartty from NYU.
You can see the full list of panels and talks here:
