research overview |
<p>I'm best known for my work in reception study: an interdisciplinary field concerned
with understanding how people experience, interpret, and evaluate cultural artefacts
such as books. I have contributed to this field both on a theoretical level and through
primary empirical research in media studies, the history of the book, and the
sociology of culture. Other research interests include the relationship between English
and other languages in transnational media and the social and economic basis of cultural
production. I would be interested in supervising PhD theses in any of these areas,
especially the study of reading and reception (whether historically or in the present
day).</p><p>A full discussion of my research interests is available<a href="http://www.danielallington.net/research/">here</a>.</p><p>I
am currently engaged in writing two books: a jointly-authored monograph on the history
of the book in Britain (under contract with Blackwell) and a sole-authored monograph
on the future of literature in the digital economy (under contract with Palgrave).
Other forthcoming work includes an interview-based qualitative study of career structure
among non-commercial artists (ongoing) and a quantitative social network analysis
of relationships between authors of interactive fiction (under review).</p><p>Further
information on my current research is available<a href="http://www.danielallington.net/research/">here</a>.</p> |

biography |
<p>As a researcher and educator, my primary interests revolve around literary and
popular fiction, though I have growing interests in other forms of culture, including
visual art, computer programming, and general'trade' publishing (especially
as it relates to the history of the English language). My interest in popular fiction
extends to film adaptation, and one of my most widely-taught papers analyses
online discussions between fans of a certain<a href="http://www.danielallington.net/how-come-most-people-dont-see-it-slashing-the-lord-of-the-rings/">blockbuster
film trilogy</a>. I could be described as a discourse analyst, although I tend to
advocate the use of sociological methods to study typically linguistic topics more
than the use of linguistic methods to study typically sociological topics.</p><p>I
am an affiliated academic member of the ESRC Centre for Research on Socio-Cultural
Change and a core member of the Open University's Applied Language and Literacies
Research Unit. In addition, I am also a member of the Open University's Book History
and Bibliography Research Group and a former advisory board member for the Reading
Experience Database.</p><p>Further information is available from <a href="http://www.danielallington.net">my
