Abstract

The articles collected for this issue of Critical Arts provide a number of different entrées into the practice of media anthropology while remaining true to the origins of this particular journal by providing a space where academics from a variety of backgrounds and positions may utilise an interdisciplinary approach. It is our position that through an interdisciplinary approach to media and culture some of the most novel approaches to understanding this relationship can occur. The studies collected represent journeys, experiments, and what we would like to offer as possible innovations in the study of media and culture from, or influenced by, an anthropological perspective.
