Gunkel, editors, Transgression 2.0: Media, Culture, and the Politics of a Digital Age, New York, N.Y.; London: Continuum International Publishing Group, →ISBN, part IV (Law, Social Disturbance, and Political Unrest), page 226:

     Polemology locates popular culture in a long (even archaic and nonhuman) tradition of warfare.

[…] Polemology allows us to bring together media convergence with the history of communications warfare, especially as they involve the very social media often cited as features of convergence politics.
