In Media Res is
envisioned as an experiment in just one sort ofcollaborative,
multi-modal scholarship that MediaCommons will aim tofoster. Its
primary goal is to provide a forum for more immediate
criticalengagement with
media in a manner closer to how we typically experiencemediated
texts.
Each day, a
different media scholar will present a 30-second to
3-minuteclip accompanied
by a 100-150-word impressionistic response. The goal is
topromote an online
dialogue amongst media scholars and the public aboutcontemporary media
scholarship through clips chosen for either theirtypicality or
a-typicality in demonstrating narrative strategies,
genreformulations,
aesthetic choices, representational practices,
institutionalapproaches, fan
engagements, etc.
Best,
Avi
