This week, In Media Res is highlighting some of our more popular posts from past curators - those posts which received the most interest from readers and commenters. We encourage you to peruse the site this week as we revisit scholarly concerns from the past six months. Visit In Media Res at http://mediacommons.futureofthebook.org/imr/
Also of interest, In Media Res is seeking curators for its spring schedule. Among the theme weeks for which we are currently seeking proposals for curators include:
Technological Object Orientations
Productions of Digital Culture
DVD Translations and Transmissions
Posthumanism and Media
Primetime Animation
Race & Television
Autism in the Media
TV Failures
Labor in the Media Industries
Technology and the Horrible
Proposals need not be any longer than a sentence or two. For more information, as well as deadlines for each individual week, please go to:
http://mediacommons.futureofthebook.org/imr/current-calls
Curated pieces include a 30-second to 3-minute clip, an image, or a slideshow accompanied by a 300 to 350 word response to/contextualization of the clip, image, or slideshow. In addition to curating your piece, you will be expected to engage with the other pieces presented that week as a means of fostering discussion and further fleshing out the individual topic in relation to the week’s theme.
