Episode 16: Almost an International Incident (August, 2014): Jennifer Petersen on Mutual v. Ohio; Vox Scholari: Book Recommendations from the Craft of Criticism Conference
This month's episode features Jennifer Petersen on the famous 1915 Mutual v. Ohio case: the Supreme Court's ruling in that case that films are not speech seems obviously wrong today, but Jen helps us understand the cultural context of that decision and its legacy. We also bring you a Vox Scholari segment: an (academic) star-studded lineup of reading recommendations to get you excited about everything from cultural geography to intertextuality. Finally, Chris and Michael discuss all the shows they hope to catch up on.
