Media In The Digital Age

Remediation : Understanding New Media

  • Remediation : Understanding New Media
  • Attribution

    Jay David Bolter and Richard Grusin
  • Publication Details

    Book, MIT Press, 1999
  • Description

    “Jay Bolter and Richard Grusin see through new media, seeing through in every sense of that phrase: staying with it, seeing with it, and most of all looking past it, both forward and back. They argue that new visual media achieve their cultural significance precisely by paying homage to, rivaling, and refashioning such earlier media as perspective painting, photography, film, and television. They call this process of refashioning “remediation,” and they note that earlier media have also refashioned one another: photography remediated painting, film remediated stage production and photography, and television remediated film, vaudeville, and radio.

  • Attribution

    Davin Heckman
  • Publication Details

    Book, Duke University Press, 2008
  • Description

    In A Small World, Davin Heckman considers how domestic technologies that free people to enjoy leisure time in the home have come to be understood as necessary parts of everyday life. Building on the tension between agency and control within the walls of homes designed to anticipate and fulfill desires, Heckman engages debates about lifestyle, posthumanism, and rights under the destabilizing influences of consumer technologies, and he considers the utopian and dystopian potential of new media forms.

  • Attribution

    edited by David D. Perlmutter and John Maxwell Hamilton
  • Publication Details

    Book, Louisiana State University Press, 2007
  • Description

    These distinguished authors challenge long-held beliefs about foreign news coverage, not the least of which is whether, in our interconnected world, such a thing as “foreign news” even exists anymore. They examine the ways in which speedy reporting conflicts with in-depth reporting, the pros and cons of “parachute” journalism, the declining dominance of mainstream media as a source of foreign news, and the implications of this new foreign correspondence for foreign policy.
