This lecture will look at Media, Print, Culture and its Commodification, exploring the ways in which creators, producers and audiences have been conjoined over the past 150 years in the production of literary culture and social meaning through printed text and other media. It will draw on multimedia techniques to analyse examples ranging from the writing of 19th century African exploration narratives to modern day media and film texts, political propaganda, sports activities and academic discourse. It will conclude by drawing attention to the ways in which concepts of ‘authorship’ and the ‘cult of personality’ have been filtered and used over the past 150 years to frame concepts of other peoples and places, to embed concepts of human selection and iconic commodification, and to sanctify commercial and colonising imperatives.
