Senior Global Media Position
Global Media and Representation
Mellichamp Academic Initiative Professorships
The University of California, Santa Barbara, invites applications from
well-established scholars and teachers for an endowed chair in the field
of "Global Media and Representation." As one of four positions clustered
around the study of global civil society and dedicated to creating a
high-profile, dynamic core of senior faculty interested in teaching,
research, and collaboration within this area, this position will focus
on the global expansion of media in the twentieth and twenty-first
centuries. Media such as print, audio, video, graphics, publishing, and
the Internet have played a central role in weaving the world together
into evermore complex networks of communication, exchange,
interdependence, and exclusion, and in creating a new global civil
society. We are particularly interested in candidates who seek to
investigate what happens to conceptions of the world when they are
obliged to submit to the subjectivities, dominions, technologies,
protocols, and politics of the global media. This exploration may
consider what happens to information of all kinds (cognitive, sensate,
imaginative) in the transmissions, translations, interactions,
dispersions, diversions, and transformations that its cultural
representation and mediation entails or requires - how these processes
transpire on a global scale, what controls, manipulates, undermines, and
dominates them both overtly and covertly, and how, particularly, these
processes alter representations of what the global was, or is, or should
be, or could be.
The university is particularly interested in candidates who can
contribute to the diversity and excellence of the academic community
through research, teaching, and service. UC Santa Barbara is an Equal
Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer. Please respond to the Chair of
the search committee with a letter of interest, cv, and the names of
three references. To ensure full consideration, applications should be
received by December 1, 2007.
