Gender in a Transitional Era addresses a range of issues relevant
in current gender and sexuality studies scholarship which span many
disciplines. The contributors prioritize the critical thinking that
continues to support the notion that we, as a society, still have a
ways to go toward full gender equality in all spheres of life. This
collection positions marginal voices at the center of complex
gender issues in today's society. Broad thematic topic areas
include parental identities, advice, and self-help; gender
performances and role expectations in media; interacting within
organizational and social spaces; and tensions and negotiations on
politics, health, and feminisms. Though there is still much work to
be done concerning an array of gender equality issues, scholars in
this collection interrogate a transitional era of gender in which
changes are evident, yet challenges persist.
Popular culture helps construct, define, and impact our everyday
realities and must be taken seriously because popular culture is,
simply, popular. Communication Perspectives on Popular Culture
brings together communication experts with diverse backgrounds,
from interpersonal communication, business and organizational
communication, mass communication, media studies, narrative,
rhetoric, gender studies, autoethnography, popular culture studies,
and journalism. The contributors tackle such topics as music,
broadcast and Netflix television shows, movies, the Internet, video
games, and more, as they connect popular culture to personal
concerns as well as larger political and societal issues. The
variety of approaches in these chapters are simultaneously situated
in the present while building a foundation for the future, as
contributors explore new and emerging ways to approach popular
culture. From case studies to emerging theories, the contributors
examine how popular culture, media, and communication influence our
everyday lives.

Beyond New Media: Discourse and Critique in a Polymediated Age
examines a host of differing positions on media in order to explore
how those positions can inform one another and build a basis for
future engagements with media theory, research, and practice.
Herbig, Herrmann, and Tyma have brought together a number of media
scholars with differing paradigmatic backgrounds to debate the
relative applicability of existing theories and in doing so develop
a new approach: polymediation. Each contributor's disciplinary
background is diverse, spanning interpersonal communication, media
studies, organizational communication, instructional design,
rhetoric, mass communication, gender studies, popular culture
studies, informatics, and persuasion. Although each of these
scholars brings with them a unique perspective on media's role in
people's lives, what binds them together is the belief that
meaningful discourse about media must be an ongoing conversation
that is open to critique and revision in a rapidly changing
mediated culture. By studying media in a polymediated way, Beyond
New Media addresses more completely our complex relationship to
media(tion) in our everyday lives.
