In Media Res is
envisioned as an experiment in just one sort of collaborative,
multi-modal scholarship that MediaCommons will aim tofoster. Its
primary goal is to provide a forum for more immediate
critical engagement 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-minute clip accompanied
by a 100-150-word impressionistic response. The goal is
topromote an online
dialogue amongst media scholars and the public about contemporary media
scholarship through clips chosen for either theirtypicality or
a-typicality in demonstrating narrative strategies,
genre formulations,
aesthetic choices, representational practices,
institutionalapproaches, fan
engagements, etc.
Best,
Avi
Santo
