Great book on captioning/subtitling, including remixing CCs

Dr. Sean Zdenek is an associate professor of technical communication and rhetoric at Texas Tech University. I'm here to rave about his Reading Sounds: Closed-Captioned Media and Popular Culture (print, ebook). It was full of immediately useful information and showed how captioning contributes to an aesthetic experience. He's a fan of genre TV, and he brings fannish enthusiasm to the task.

( Integrating Captions into the Artistic Process )

He hosts a supplementary site with videos of all the material discussed in his book. Just reading that site provides much of his message. It's also an excellent example of audio description.
