steampunk, revisited

I posted a little bit about steampunk works the other day. Today BoingBoing reports "Henry Jenkins, my favorite pop-culture scholar, has just posted the first part of a long essay dealing with the theoretical origins of steampunk. Jenkins connects steampunk to the eBay retro-collectibles urge and dead media -- themselves products of inhabiting a high-speed world where the things we love go obsolete and fall to rot in the blink of an eye."
