I’m working on an article that has an ontological immanent critique of the Christian foundations position. Should appear in the IJZS soon if it makes it through the peer review process.

Many thanks to Ash for raising such important questions.

I dislike the terms Islamophobia and the equally ridiculous Islamofascism. Two sides of the same ignorant coin.

IN particular, I would like to draw your attention towards Gauntlett’s persuasion that “Media Studies 1.0” has:

“A tendency to fetishise ‘experts’, whose readings of popular culture are seen as more significant than those of other audience members (with corresponding faith in faux-expert non-procedures such as semiotics);”

“A belief that students should be taught how to ‘read’ the media in an appropriate ‘critical’ style;”
