Harsin's "Von Trier's Brechtian Gamble: On Manderlay" appears in the
February/March issue of the on-line Bright Lights Film Journal.
He is currently at work on a book called The Rumor Bomb. In the
book, he theorizes and empirically analyzes the changing contemporary
American political aesthetics and citizenship by looking at interlocking
changes in political marketing through branding, news values and market
pressures, and the pressure of speed on political deliberation and
audience reception. His work in progress can be viewed on his blog "PearlsbeforeSwine:
Jayson Harsin's Critical Paradise,"
