Employing the techniques of "appropriation" and "inversion," Krause demonstrates how

What are the problems and possibilities inherent in the academy as it
exists in a web of social, political, technological, and legal forces that are
mostly beyond its own control? Dorwick emphasizes scholarship and teaching,
with a contrast to the problems and possibilities that are increasingly evident
as growing numbers of teachers and students begin to experiment with the creation
of knowledge in cyberspace.

discusses the use and usefulness of a cultural studies assignment which explores the
ways in which popular visual media reflect--and impact on--larger social, political and
economic conditions.
