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
