Subject: New book: Social TV: Multi-Screen Content and Ephemeral Culture
Hi everyone. I'm happy to announce the publication of my book, *Social TV:
Multi-Screen Content and Ephemeral Culture
<https://www.upress.state.ms.us/Books/S/Social-TV>*, with the University
Press of Mississippi.
*Description: *In *Social TV: Multi-Screen Content and Ephemeral Culture*,
Cory Barker reveals how the US television industry promised—but failed to
deliver—a social media revolution in the 2010s to combat the imminent
threat of on-demand streaming video. Barker examines the rise and fall of
Social TV across press coverage, corporate documents, and an array of
digital ephemera. He demonstrates that, despite the talk of disruption, the
movement merely aimed to exploit social media to reinforce the value of
live TV in the modern attention economy. Case studies from broadcast
networks to tech start-ups uncover a persistent focus on community that
aimed to monetize consumer behavior in a transitionary industry period.
To trace these unfulfilled promises and flopped ideas, Barker draws upon a
unique mix of personal Social TV experiences and curated archives of
material that were intentionally marginalized amid pivots to the next big
thing. Yet in placing this now-forgotten material in recent historical
context, *Social TV *shows how the era altered how the industry pursues
audiences. Multi-screen campaigns have shifted away from a focus on live TV
and toward all-day “content” streams. The legacy of Social TV, then, is the
further embedding of media and promotional material onto every screen and
into every moment of life.
*Select Reviews*:
"An especially timely volume, *Social TV* is an impressive study of the
Social TV archive for several key case studies, each of which speak to
different subsectors of Social TV, while commenting on the broader cultural
and industrial ramifications of social media engagement. *Social TV* offers
readers a rich archive through which to examine shifts in the TV industry. "
- Jennifer Gillan, author of Television Brandcasting: The Return of the
Content-Promotion Hybrid
"Barker’s meticulously researched ‘ephemeral historiography’ of the rise
and fall of Social TV offers fresh insights into some of this moment's more
notable experiments, from ABC’s #TGIT to AMC’s Story Sync. Vitally, it also
excavates under-theorized industrial experiments to gauge and reward fan
participation from this era, from check-in platforms’ efforts to gamify
television viewing to Amazon’s experiments with ‘fansourcing’ feedback on
their television pilots. The result is a comprehensive and compelling
account of the television industry’s attempt to embrace emergent platforms,
while managing audience engagement on their terms."
- Suzanne Scott, author of Fake Geek Girls: Fandom, Gender, and the
Convergence Culture Industry

Masterclass: A Secret Cinema We are also excited to announce the topic of
Artist-in-Focus Iva Radivojević's masterclass - A Secret Cinema - taking
place on August 6th at 10 AM.
“Life is always spectral, *my *life is always spectral, and in the trace is
always life.”
- Akira Mizuta Lippit on Jacques Derrida
This masterclass will explore the idea of the *Specter *who is at the same
time both visible and invisible.
Perhaps haunting.
Both biographical and autobiographical.
The *Specter* is arrived at from elsewhere, an outside, and all the while
remains secret.
The eye / I, the narrating *Specter*, reflection, and self-reflection are
all components of the workshop. The theme is inspired by an essay
titled *Derrida,
Specters, Self-Reflection* by Akira Mizuta Lippit in which Life,
Spectrality, and Autobiography are outlined as the elements of a secret
cinema (and Derrida himself).
The workshop will dissect these elements to lean into the secret, and
explore questions of dream logic and the mythical in my moving image work.
It will include some of my short films as well as a screening of *Gaàda*, a
"process" film assembled from footage I gathered in pre-production for my
film *Aleph*.
With love,
--*Iva Radivojević, Lesbos, July 2022*

Subject: New Issue of Literature/Film Quarterly on Ivo van Hove
Dear Colleagues,
I write to announce the publication of a new special issue of Literature/Film Quarterly<https://lfq.salisbury.edu/> on Ivo van Hove, the Belgian avant-garde director whose mediated, minimalist theatrical productions examine the distinction between film and theatre. Whether he's incorporating live video feeds and camera operators into Shakespeare or staging screenplays by Ingmar Bergman or Joseph L. Mankiewicz, van Hove remains one of the most exciting and divisive artists working on European and North American stages today.
