In Media Res is 
envisioned as an experiment in just one sort of
collaborative, 
multi-modal scholarship that MediaCommons will aim to
foster. Its 
primary goal is to provide a forum for more immediate 
critical
engagement with 
media in a manner closer to how we typically experience
mediated 
texts.


Each day, 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 
a-typicality in demonstrating narrative strategies, 
genre
formulations, 
aesthetic choices, representational practices, 
institutional
approaches, fan 
engagements, etc.


Best,


Avi 
Santo
