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
