SUMMARY:Military Training and Compelling Experience
DESCRIPTION:In this lecture\, Sharon Ghamari-Tabrizi will talk about the various meanings of what counts as a “compelling experience” for military simulation — and how this phrase “compelling experience” can be used as a thematic marker for differentiating the present moment from cold war-era immersive simulations. Ms. Ghamari-Tabrizi is an independent scholar currently living in Altamonte Springs\, Florida. She is the author of The Worlds of Herman Kahn: The Intuitive Science of Thermonuclear War (Harvard University Press\, 2005). \nCo-sponsored by the STS Colloquium.

SUMMARY:Futures of Entertainment 3
DESCRIPTION:Futures of Entertainment 3 \nFutures of Entertainment is organized around a “talk-show” style model\, with panelists participating in a moderated discussion. Over the last two years this produced great\, thorough treatments of the subject matter\, getting industry and academic speakers together but avoiding product pitches.  \nThis year’s conference will work to bring together the themes from last year – media spreadability\, audiences and value\, social media\, distribution – with the Consortium’s new projects as we move towards an increasingly global understanding of media convergence and content flows. Topics for this year’s panels include global distribution systems and the challenges of moving content across borders\, transmedia\, franchising\, digital extensions and world building\, comics\, convergence and commerce\, social media and spreadability\, as well as renewed discussion about how and why to measure audience value. \nHead over to the program page to see what we’ll be discussing this year.
