Kudos on playing "public intellectual" for these accessible entries! BTW, Fenske's "The Aesthetics of the Unfinished" is dy-no-mite!

I am assuming audience will be inclusive of students studying media, performance, and visual communication. One also has to pick and choose what appears in 3,000 words--which means, the most direct confrontation with the concept in literature. Agency, alas, is HUGE, not so much in humanities circles as much as in social science, so the challenge to me was to present the history of the concept and trace it up through the greatest hits (careful not to get stuck in the mire of the subject). If you can think of a couple of crucial readings in media/performance/visual communication that directly confront the concept, I'm all eyes.

Also incredibly thorough. Is part of this audience media or performance or visual comm? Just wondering about the body and agency and non-social science understandings of non-human centered agency...
