Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

Together, we’ve been studying the history of media, the role of technology in society and its mutable cultural meanings. We have also been exploring theories of media in order to provide us with the connective and analytic textures necessary to make sense of the wide scope of our readings. Using Marx, Guattari, Baym, Nichols, and Williams, among others, we’ve attempted to understand the way the meanings and modes of media have affected social life and identity across different times and spaces.
