Subject: Re: [MEA] FW: a practical question

Spalio 30 d. KFMI Šiuolaikinės filosofijos skyrius kviečia dalyvauti respublikinėje konferencijoje „Filosofija šiandien: apie ką ir kaip?“.

In the German humanities, „media“ are less a subject of research, but a research „paradigm“ in a sense somewhat figuratively adapted from Thomas Kuhn. In other words, media are not considered a real-life phenomenon to be critically observed and analyzed (following a more or less empirical research method). Rather, the concept of „media“ is seen as a theoretical dispositive by itself that allows to put already known artistic and discursive phenomena — from medieval literature to 19th century anatomical research — into a new research perspective. In that respect, „media“ has a conceptual and unifying function for Medialitätsforschung that is equivalent to the notion of „culture“ in British-American cultural materialism and cultural studies.

As such, „media“ has substituted the 19th century notion of „Geist“ - whereas the notion of „culture“ continues to be indebted to Hegel and Marx in its emphasis of human agency and social construction. The German turn from Geistesgeschichte to Mediengeschichte follows the earlier German philosophical turn from metaphysics to ontology, i.e. from Hegel to Heidegger. But what Derrida already observed in the late 1960s, namely that the destruction of metaphysics by its substitution with something else merely continues metaphysics, is true here as well: One grand, abstract historical narrative has been replaced with yet another grand historical narrative that is fairly detached from the common sense understanding of media and, as such, can comfortably avoid to engage with their concrete social, economic, artistic […] issues and practices.

Indergaard, Michael — Silicon Alley — the rise and fall of a new media district

I was struck by the use of the term „new media“ as I was just reading Michael Indergaard's (2004) _Silicon Alley: The Rise and Fall of a New Media District_. It doesn't seem too new anymore but he argued that the term ?new media? was particularly attractive to many of the Silicon Alley immigrants as it differentiated them from computer people and further set them apart from Silicon Valley. Many also saw „new media“ as challenging the traditional New York broadcast and publishing powers and having the potential to allow formerly marginalized voices to be heard. I guess those voices are starting to haunt Columbia's J-school.

The jargon-ridden and elliptical style of Derrida and others, so easy to parody, was nevertheless a remarkable achievement. […] In this sense theory and practice did merge for the poststructuralists. Their own writing was not just an exposition of their theory, but the very embodiment of theory. […] At their best, the poststructuralists closed the circle of theory and practice: their theory grew out of practice and returned to inform practice.

[…]

What we need is a hybrid, a fusion of the critical stance of cultural theory with the constructive attitude of the visual designer.

Jay David Bolter. „Theory and Practice in New Media Studies“

For Landow and others, hypertext became the electronic realization of poststructuralist theory. Many of the qualities that the poststructuralists had been claiming for print—the instability and the intertextuality of the text, the loss of authority of the author, and the changed relationship between author, text, and reader—were realized in a literal or operational way in the computer.

[…]

The point is that film critics were and still are examining a mass medium to which they will not in general make a practical contribution. The same has been true for the critics of radio and television and to some extent even the mass print genres of magazines, newspapers, and trade fiction. […] When cultural studies critics now approach digital media, they often assume that these new media must follow the same pattern of hegemonic production and resistant reception. They look for examples of new media forms that can be characterized as mass media, because they are comfortable with the broadcast model in which the control of the media form is centralized.

[…]

Whether qualitative or quantitative, formal theories focus on aspects that are by definition under the control of the designer or producer. Cultural theories place their focus elsewhere. In showing how the weight of global capital defines new media production, a cultural theory seems to be taking control away from the individual designer or producer.

Jay David Bolter. „Theory and Practice in New Media Studies“

Pirmasis “Pecha Kucha” renginys gegužės 9 d. “Skliaute”

Šiandien džiugi diena, nes “Pecha Kucha” pagaliau rado vietą, kurioje vyks kūrybinių idėjų balius. Ta vieta, puikiai visiems Kauno kūrėjams pažįstamas baras “Skliautas”. Pamenate, pernai vasarą skliautiečiai rodė europietiškus filmus rotušėje po kaštonais? Ten pat, gegužės 9 dieną ir mes rodysim savo idėjas. Pildom paraiškas, pradedam repetuoti, dalyvaujam…

Even after reading these articles, I go back to something Dan said in class. It was something along the lines of „new media is like pornography. I can't define it, but I can tell it when I see it.“
