Media Culture II: Chaplin and Film
http://medcult2.blogspot.com/2016/10/chaplin-and-film.html
Dr Russell A. Potter. Tuesday, October 4, 2016. The role of Charlie Chaplin as the first iconic figure of the cinema is nearly impossible to overstate. No other person in the history of film has had the instant, international, and lasting appeal of "The Little Tramp," or Charlot. Walter Benjamin wrote only a few relatively brief accounts of Chaplin's films and impact, centered on 1928's The Circus. Or Michael Jackson with Thriller. The Beatles Apple Corps. T, they rarely stay large for long. Replacing th...

Dr Russell A. Potter. Wednesday, October 19, 2016. The Culture Industry: Enlightenment as Mass Deception. Yet despite these shortcoming, the analysis can often be crystal clear, as in this passage:. Or, as Ed Valenti, who wrote the immortal words of the original Ginsu Knife commercial. Might put it: "But wait, there's more! Interestingly, I found in the Wikipedia. That the Ginsu Knife was in fact a Rhode Island product! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Burroughs and Gysin: The Third Mind. Benjamin, A ...

Media Culture II: Sound
http://medcult2.blogspot.com/2016/10/sound.html
Dr Russell A. Potter. Wednesday, October 5, 2016. When it comes to media, all of our human senses are related to the perception of frequency: the visible spectrum. Is that which we sense via sight, and the audio spectrum. Offers to change that soon). Broadcast, nearly forty if you count only commercial, regular broadcasts). And yet, in most Media Studies programs and New Media books, sound seems relegated to a very small, supporting role. It's been naturalized, made invisible, save in its absence, as...

Media Culture II: Reading as technology
http://medcult2.blogspot.com/2016/09/we-are-accustomed-to-think-of-books-and.html
Dr Russell A. Potter. Wednesday, September 21, 2016. On YouTube that illustrates this perfectly. The book is no more a "natural" object than is a smartphone or an automobile; it has simply been around so long that we have gotten used to it, and now begin to fear that we may "miss" it. Walter J. Ong, the brilliant Jesuit scholar and pupil of Marshall McLuhan, was one of the first scholars to realize and emphasize the technological status of writing. Some say that E-books aren't proper books at all. Subscr...

Or an Apple Computer assembly plant in Singapore - and yet their economic significance can't be excluded from any attempt to understand something we could call "globalization.". And now, Romanian.

Media Culture II: Spectacle
http://medcult2.blogspot.com/2016/10/spectacle.html
Dr Russell A. Potter. Sunday, October 23, 2016. As we've seen, theorists such as Benjamin and Adorno had already begun to describe what they called "spectacle"; their anxiety about the potential of mass media to produce and reproduce a docile, distracted public is palpable. And yet it's not until Guy Debord. The heart of the unrealism of the real society' that phrase says (or seems to say) it all. Clearly, this is an ideological claim, related to Louis Althusser. In this 'society of the spectacle,' as Gu...
