Español: El tema de esta semana en In Media Res, una iniciativa de video e internet, son los medios alternativos. In Media Res es un experimento de colaboración del tipo de academia multi-modal que MediaCommons quiere impulsar. La meta es abrir un foro para el diáologo crítico sobre los medios en formas más cercanas a como acostumbramos a experimentar los textos mediáticos.
Cada día, un académico/a especializado en medios presentará un fragmento de video de 30-segundos a 3-minutos acompañado por una comentario. La idea es promover un diálogo en línea entre los académicos de medios y el público en torno a los medios contemporáneos.

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 300-350-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 Santo
