Our launch begins with a series of stimulating conversations with Adjunct Professor George Negus, Smart State Fellow Toby Miller, SBS Television Programme Executive Jane Roscoe, and Novelist/Academic Paul Magrs, each interviewed by researchers in their fields. We invite you to read their views, to post questions and comments, and to start new dialogues about their topics - we hope that together we can make this an engaging site that you will enjoy visiting and reading. Jinna Tay Editor, M/C Dialogue Axel Bruns General Editor, M/C - Media and Culture --------------------------------------------------------------------------- About M/C Dialogue M/C Dialogue (http://dialogue.media-culture.org.au/about) is a peer- reviewed publication that presents accessible dialogues between prominent cultural thinkers and researchers in related fields. The tone is accessible but intelligent; informal but informed. M/C Dialogue provides the reader with an up-to-date summary of the recent work of important thinkers, as well as showing the human side of these public figures. M/C Dialogue aims to * Present an accessible introduction to the thinking of important figures in the analysis and understanding of culture * Show that ideas are always produced in a social context. The voices of theorists, producers, intellectuals or artists are not abstract and esoteric - they are embodied and tied up in emotions and interpersonal interactions. * Provide an invaluable opportunity for scholars to network with key figures in their fields, by facilitating interactions and collaborations. We welcome proposals for further interviews. If you have any upcoming events with possible interviewers & interviewees please let us know. All feedback is appreciated. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Visit all four M/C publications at <http://www.media-culture.org.au/>. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- All contributors are available for media contacts: mc@media-culture.org.au. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- end -- Dr Axel Bruns, General Editor editor@media-culture.org.au M/C - Media and Culture http://www.media-culture.org.au/
