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
