Welcome to a special CSI-themed week from In Media Res.

This week’s selection of pieces will also serve as a preamble for MediaCommons next project, a series of scholarly “Casefiles,” or digital anthologies that will focus on on-going series across a range of media forms. The Casefiles will be overseen by project co-editors Kathleen Fitzpatrick and Jason Mittell. CSI will be our first ongoing Casefile series. These casefiles will be our initial foray into rethinking long-form academic publishing in a digital environment as well as a testing ground for a new form of peer-to-peer review. Please stay tuned for a forthcoming announcement on our website.

So, without further ado, this week’s In Media Res line-up:

Monday, July 30, 2007 – Kathleen Fitzpatrick (Pomona College) presents: “It’s Our Job to Know Stuff”: The Epistemology of CSI”

Tuesday, July 31, 2007 – Derek Kompare (Southern Methodist University) presents: “What Happens in Vegas”

Wednesday, August 1, 2007 – Eva White (Indiana University Kokomo) presents: “Double Voyeurism in CSI Las Vegas: The Scientist under the Microscope”

Thursday, August 2, 2007 – Chad Harriss (Alfred University) presents: “CSI’s State of Denial”
