Over at the Mediapolis journal, I have published a short essay as part of a roundtable on the emergent notion of ‘small-gauge’ scholarship. The notion of small-gauge was alluded to in the founding mission statement of this new and experimental journal, and has since generated some substantial interest and debates. This roundtable tries to tackle these debates and interests head-on, with essays that explore possible emergent meanings and practices of small-gauge scholarship. The link above leads directly to my piece, but it may make more sense to begin with Brendan Kredell’s roundtable introduction, following by the essays from Kevin Allen, Jennifer Heuson and Carla Nappi, which preceded my own.

Next week there will be some further essays from the editors and contributors, including me, in response to the issues that have been raised so far.
