Moving Media Studies
- Remediation revisited
Sometimes, basic questions must be raised, and this is what the new book Moving Media Studies – Remediation Revisited does: what is a ‘medium’? What is ‘communication’ and how should it be observed? How should the ideal of ‘immediacy’ be interpreted?
The background for raising these fundamental questions was the publication of the important book Remediation – Understanding New Media by Jay Bolter and Richard Grusin in 1999. However, the development within media technologies is moving very fast – often faster than media science is.
Consequently, some of the challenging concepts from Bolter and Grusin – like hypermediacy, immediacy and remediation – are asking for revision – or, at least, reconsideration. This is the main ambition of the new book.
Moreover, theoretical ideas need to be useful when meeting case studies. Therefore, the purpose of Moving Media Studies is to figure out what the outcome is if you try to include the ideas from Bolter and Grusin in your analysis of different kinds of media.
In nine articles – the last one written by Bolter himself – the writers deal with a wide range of different cases and media – from television to computer, film and mobile phone. You can read about films by von Trier and how genealogy is being remediated on the web or how the connection between the Real Madrid and Media is.
