Gilleman was a deeply original and creative thinker, a brilliant scholar and passionate teacher, and one of the kindest and humblest human beings I’ve ever met. His spirit is always with me.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
I first would like to thank my editors at Palgrave Macmillan, Shaun Vigil and Erica Buchman, for seeing this book into print; they were fantastic to work with. I mostly owe a huge debt of gratitude to my dissertation chair, Denise Albanese, who mentored me throughout my entire doctoral program and consistently challenged me always to be a better researcher, theorist, and writer. I would also like to thank Paul Smith and Timothy Gibson for their very helpful constructive criticism and feedback on this research project. My scholarship, of course, has been greatly enriched by a number of other conversations with various peers and faculty members in the George Mason University Cultural Studies program. I am particularly thankful for the guidance of Roger Lancaster, Dina Copelman, Hugh Gusterson, and Alison Landsberg. I am also grateful to my cultural studies friends for their support and encouragement, especially Li
