Critical Approaches to Welcome to Night Vale: Podcasting between Weather and the Void

Editat de Jeffrey Andrew Weinstock
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 23 sep 2019
With well over one-hundred episodes, the podcastWelcome to Night Valehas spawned several international live tours, two novels set in theNight Valeuniverse, and an extensive volume of fan fiction and commentary. However, despite its immense popularity,Welcome to Night Valehas received almost no academic scrutiny. This edited collection of scholarly essays—the very first of its kind on a podcast—attempts to redress this lack of attention toNight Valeby bringing together an international group of scholars from different disciplines to consider the program’s form, themes, politics, and fanbase. After a thorough introduction by the volume’s editor, Jeffrey Andrew Weinstock, the eight contributors not only offer close analysis ofNight Vale, but use the program as the impetus for broader explorations of new media, gender, the constitution of identity, the construction of place, and the human relationship to meaning and the non-human.
