ABOUT IN MEDIA 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.
Best,
Avi Santo
