Hi all,

In addition to some great individual contributions (such as the pieces appearing this week), we will also feature several themed-weeks, including weeks devoted to Latino media, Nordic media, fan practices, dance, pre-1960s corporate authorship, alternative media, and media interfaces.


This week’s In Media Res line-up:

ABOUT IN MMEDIA RES


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.


Finally, I’d really like to thank all of the curators we’ve had during our first year for generating so many thought-provoking and conversation-worthy pieces.
