FAQs

As far as new books for the series are concerned, what are you looking for in terms of length, style and authorship?

We're flexible about length. The electronic mode of publication means we don't have the same kind of restrictions placed upon us regarding length and word count that we would have if we  were dealing with a print-on-paper publication. So it's a question of what suits your text really.

When it comes to subject matter, Culture Machine is known for operating somewhere at the intersection of media and cultural studies and cultural theory and the related fields: new media, visual culture, communication studies, philosophy, psychoanalysis, science and technology studies, feminist theory, postcolonial theory and so on. But within that we're pretty open.

We're also relatively open regarding questions of style and authorship. We'd have to be with an project of this kind.

Can the number of characters in the 'Add a Comment' sections can be increased?

Apparently, it's a feature of the design of the particular wiki tool we're using, PBworks, that it cannot. However, the number of characters in the pages themselves does not have the same kind of limit. So one solution we've come up with as far as the discussions on The Post-Corporate University are concerned is to put them on a special Post-Corporate University: Discussion page. Anyone can post a message on this page using the 'Edit' tab above. This enables people to post longer messages.
