In Media Res Call for CuratorsMediaCommons is currently seeking curators for In Media Res for the period of June 4, 2007 through August 3, 2007.If you are interested in curating for IMR, please contact Avi Santo [log in to unmask] for more information.About In Media ResIn Media Res is envisioned as an experiment in just one sort of collaborative, multi-modal scholarship that MediaCommons will aim to foster. Monday-Friday, a different media scholar will present a 30-second to 3-minute clip accompanied by a 100-150-word impressionistic response. The goal is to promote an online dialogue amongst media scholars and the public about contemporary media scholarship through clips chosen for either their typicality or atypicality in demonstrating narrative strategies, genre formulations, aesthetic choices, representational practices, institutional approaches, fan engagements, etc.MediaCommons is a strong advocate for the right of media scholars to quote from the materials they analyze, as protected by the principle of “fair use.” If such quotation is necessary to a scholar’s argument, if the quotation serves to support a scholar’s original analysis or pedagogical purpose, and if the quotation does not harm the market value of the original text — but rather, and on the contrary, enhances it — we must defend the scholar’s right to quote from the media texts under study.To find out more about IMR, please visit:1) http://mediacommons.futureofthebook.org/videos/about2) http://mediacommons.futureofthebook.org/blog/2007/04/08/what-can-horace-newcomb-teach-us-about-in-media-res-a-first-stab-at-a-style-guide-for-contributors/To find out more about Mediacommons, please visit:http://mediacommons.futureofthebook.org/aboutBest,Avi----------------------------------------------------------------------Avi Santo, Ph.D.Assistant ProfessorDepartment of Communication and Theatre ArtsOld Dominion UniversityNorfolk, Virginia 23529(757) [log in to unmask] Editor: MediaCommons: A Digital Scholarly Networkhttp://mediacommons.futureofthebook.orgCo-Creator: Flow: Television and Media Culture http://www.flowtv.org
