A very intriguing post, Ross. The fragmentary flow resulting in the viewing of individual clips instead of the entire reel and its relation to access is an area of research that is begging for further exploration. As you rightly point out, seeing only fra ...

A very interesting response, Jeremy. Your idea of contextualizing interactive media as experiential acts rather than archives is intriguing. Material culture studies has frequently explored the ways we contextualize spaces (architecture, etc) in relation ...

This is a fantastic start to the week, Greg! You've raised some fantastic points here. The concepts of compression and decompression in relation to the industrial/narrative change in comics and their transition to film is also an intriguing idea. I ...
That's a very interesting point, Alex. Many of the fans who grew up watching anime in the West (up until a few years ago) dealt primarily with localized texts. In recent years (thanks primarily to DVDs) there has been a significant move towards viewi ...
