SCREENSHOTS is a monthly series of posts via which HILOBROW’s Josh Glenn reviews his most recent screenshots — before deleting them from the over-full Dropbox folder to which they’d been uploaded. Also see the PHOTO DUMP series.

NOVEMBER 2023


I’m doing a “cola codes” semiotic audit this Fall, and my screenshots folder is full of this sort of thing.

*

Always on the lookout for supermarket/shopping movie scenes, to use as illustrations for my HYPOCRITE IDLER posts.

*

For the SEMIOPUNK series.

*

I was interviewed by Miranda Melcher, about my duties as editor of the MIT Press’s RADIUM AGE series, for the New Books Network podcast…

*

Glitchy screenshot — detail of a portrait of Glenn Danzig — about whom a new HILOBROW contributor, Alycia Chellemi, has much to say. Part of our 1Q2024 series MÖSH YOUR ENTHUSIASM, edited by Heather Quinlan.

*

Screenshot of a UK semio colleague’s workspace, while I was waiting for him to get back to his desk.

*

From the November 2023 issue of Rob Wringham’s newsletter THE NEW ESCAPOLOGIST.

*

My Welsh semio friend Malcolm Evans and I send each other images of vintage juvenile adventures once in a while. This detail — from the 1911 novel The Outdoor Chums on the Lake — struck me as weirdly science-fictional. That tunic and headgear — what’s the deal?
