"Musical Speech and the Digital Regime of the Image"

The first guest for our new colloquium series will be Kara Keeling (Associate Professor, USC).

Please note the change in location. 

Karl Marx's well known phrase "poetry from the future" references a formal and temporal material disruption that functions primarily on the level of affect in ways that resist narration and qualitative description.  This presentation offers "poetry from the future" as a kind of musical speech.

Spring Quarter Film & Digital Media Colloquium.

"Production Cultures:  Critical and Cultural Dimensions of Film/Video Labor"

John Caldwell, Professor of Cinema and Media Studies at UCLA

Professor Juhasz will address her experience in Fall 2007 and Fall 2008 when she taught an experimental online course to learn the strengths and limitations of moving a set of common experiences (teaching, learning, and “writing”) fully into the digital space.  Professor Juhasz now faces the challenges of translating the trials and tribulations of adapting her experiments in Web 2.0 pedagogy into a digital “book.”  Her work thus thematizes and reflects on a new era of digital arts and academic publi

This talk considers a key moment in the consolidation of the studio system and proposes that Hollywood public relations of the early 1920s legitimated corporate authority by successfully establishing the terms in which the history of the American motion-picture industry could be written.

This talk approaches a pivotal moment of queer television history, the appearance of the first openly gay man on American television (in 1973, An American Family), through some reflection on the convergence of queer and televisual times.  Looking backward from the last episode of An American Family, occasioned by the death of Lance in 2001, I explore the repeated action of coming out in relation to television seriality.
Talk sponsored by the Film & Digital Media Department and supported by Porter College Visiting Artists and Lecturers.

This two-part talk consists of Professor Everett's recent work on digital and new media that includes her participation in the MacArthur Foundation's "field-building" endeavor conceptualized as the Digital Media and Learning Initiative.  Professor Everett will discuss her involvement in this multi-year, multi-million dollar initiative, particularly her work on youth experiences with digital media technologies and computer games.  This aspect of her work focuses on the racialized meaning-encryption-decryption feedback loop at work in contemporary popular computer games.  Her inte
