Media Anthropology | Sociology of science and technology | Other researchers’ Websites
Media anthropology:
Web Archive in Visual Anthropology:
As its title implies, this website collects unpublished as well as out-of-print research papers. It has been launched by faculty and students of visual anthropology at Temple University, Philadelphia (PA), in the US, in an attempt to give a longer life to publications that otherwise receive only limited attentions from the wide public but are still deemed worthwhile for researchers in this field. It is also part of a wider trend that is seeing more and more works being published online, as institutions have less and less money to keep pace with the exploding numbers of academic publications. All works are published with permission from authors and editors.
Particip@tions: International Journal of Audience & Reception Studies
This is what I would call a “goldmine”! Founded in 2003, this Web-based journal focuses on what the founders perceive is a still under-recognized while very promising field of research, that is audience and reception studies. All articles published in this online publication are available for free, which is absolutely great for researchers like me who don’t have a fortune at hand. From its own statement, it seems to work on a similar basis as any other academic journal, with experte referees checking out submissions, although with a more open publishing policy as they accept papers from pretty much all disciplines. All copyrights remain with the author.
Sociology of science and technology
Here is another WordPress blog focusing on the Actor-Network Theory, which was initiated by Bruno Latour, a French social scientist who has been inquiring the corridors of scientific work and laboratories for years. This theory states that both human and non-human actors should be taken into account when studying the way science and technology work. It has already opened up a lot of interesting paths of socio-anthropological research and still remains a very promising field of inquiry.
As the title says, this is a link to a page gathering links to audio and video files of Bruno Latour’s interventions since 2002.
Bruno Latour’s personal website:
Here is THE personal website of the famous sociologist. It isn’t just a point of access to his biography and bibliography, but also to all kinds of documents of his past and present work. It is therefore quite a goldmine for anyone interested in the BL’s researches. Moreover, it’s both in French and in English.

Tangemania (Aaron Gerow’s personal Website):
Professor Aaron Gerow teaches Japanese Cinema and Culture at Yale and is a founding member of KineJapan, the mailing list of Kinema Club. He holds an MA in Asian Civilizations from the University of Iowa and a PhD in Communication Studies from Iowa. This is definitely a place to visit if you are looking for reliable resources on Japanese cinema and contemporary culture.
