Faculty Member, Sociology
About
I am Professor in the Department of Sociology of the University of Samara (Russia, the Volga region) and the Director of the M.A programme ‘Digital Media and Internet’. I received my doctorate in Philosophy from the Moscow State University and I completed my post-doctoral research [doktorskaia dissertatsiia] at the University of Samara in 2010. I teach the courses "Theory of Mass Communication", "Sociology of Digital Media and Internet", "Critical Theory of Internet", "Popular Culture in the New Media Age", "Power and Control in Cyberspace". My research project was devoted to vernacular online practices and the transformation of popular culture under the influence of new media. My research interests include critical theory of media, new media, cultural theory, visual studies and gender studies. My publications in Russian include book "Popular Culture Web 2.0: mapping modern medialandscape" ( Samara: the University of Samara, 2009) and articles on aesthetics and politics of popular culture. I am currently researching Russian transmedia with a particular focus on the role of audiences in its production.
