Podcast: "Communications Forum: Race, Politics, and American Media"The election of an African-American president in November 2008 has been hailed as a transforming event. But has Obama's ascension transformed anything? Many people's answer to that question changed this summer when a famous Harvard professor was arrested at his home in Cambridge. Are the harsh realities of race and class in the U.S. clearer now or murkier, following the media tsunami of Gatesgate? And has this polarizing event given greater visibility to racial minorities in the media's cov ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website
Podcast: "How Not to Be Seen" Hanna Rose Shell, a historian and media artist, is as Assistant Professor in the Program on Science, Technology and Society at MIT. This was a talk about camouflage framed by the question of "how not to be seen"--in film, on film, as film. In the first part, Shell introduced "how not to be seen" in terms of the aspiration for, and actualization of concealment in both filmic and natural ecologies through mixed-media practices that simultaneously incorporate and subvert the photographic medi ...

Video: Media in Transition 6: "New Media, Civic Media"
Download video (1.1gb)
As old media die, new forms are emerging, but it's not clear they will serve such vital civic functions as "helping people form publics," as Pat Aufderheide puts it. These panelists point to promising experiments in "Public Media 2.0," but caution that new media are not guaranteed to shore up democracy or invigorate public culture.
After two years of research, Jessica Clark has reframed the notion of public media as "outlets that provide context/content that allow ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website

European archivists grapple with the legal obligations, civic responsibilities and future prospects of their collections, which, thanks to the Internet and other new technologies, are increasingly awash in image and sound.

At the end of the three-day Media in Transition conference, panelists swap impressions and reactions, offering some notional themes for future symposia.
Mary Bryson frames her comments as "a mash-up aggregation." The conference's "massive disagreements and sometimes awkward silences and gaps" were beneficial, "as we make our way in the present imperfect of media studies." For Bryson, a key question arose: "What time is it here?" The past, present and future are n ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website

Podcast: "Submarine Media: Sounding the Sea with Cyborg Anthropology"This presentation delivers a first-person anthropological report on a dive to the seafloor in the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution's three-person submersible, Alvin. Meditating on the sounds rather that the sights of the dive, Helmreich explores multiple meanings of immersion: as a descent into liquid, an absorption in activity, and the all-encompassing entry of an anthropologist into a cultural medium. Tuning in to the rhythms of Alvin as a submarine cyborg, he shows how interior and e ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website

Podcast: "Comics and Social Conflict" with Ho Che Anderson, Jeet Heer and Diana Tamblyn
Comics have emerged as a key means of interpreting and disseminating controversial and contested histories: Chester Brown's Louis Riel, Keiji Nakazawa's Barefoot Gen, Joe Sacco's Palestine, and Marjane Satrapi's Persepolis are just some of the works that take definitive social and political conflict as their topic. Why has historical material become so important for comics art? What unique opportunities does comics allow for critiquing and revising dominant historical narratives? These ar ...
