Item The critical lede: new media and ecological balance(Taylor & Francis, 2012-01) Myers, W. Benjamin; Rowe, Desireé D.; Towson University. Department of Mass Communication and Communication StudiesAs co-hosts of the podcast The Critical Lede (TCL), we find ourselves at a moment where new media projects are bursting onto the scene of not only communication/ performance studies but also all fields of academe. That we find ourselves in the midst of this explosion calls for reflexivity on the potentials that new media projects open as well as problematics that might ensue as we sort out how to keep our traditional print/stage heritage vibrant while simultaneously making room for scholarship that works outside of this framework.Item The performative possibilities of new media(Taylor & Francis, 2012-01) Rowe, Desireé D.; Myers, W. Benjamin; Towson University. Department of Mass Communication and Communication StudiesWe understand new media as performative - a medium that is an active participant in a political dialogue. It is political in its iterability; it performs, over and over, passing as/with information. We see this in our Facebook NewsFeeds and ReTweet of Tweets long gone. In this forum, we hope to show how new media scholarship can be purposefully enacted within performance studies (perhaps marking a slippage ... perhaps not) to work towards larger critical goals. New media changes what it means to be a performance studies scholar.
