SUMMARY:Race\, Politics and American Media
DESCRIPTION:The election of an African-American president in Nov. 2008 has been hailed as a transforming event. But has Obama’s ascension transformed anything? Many people’s answer to that question changed this summer when a famous Harvard professor was arrested at his home in Cambridge. Are the harsh realities of race and class in the U.S. clearer now or murkier\, following the media tsunami of Gatesgate? And has this polarizing event given greater visibility to racial minorities in the media’s coverage of politics? How are race issues and racial politics covered in our national media\, and what are the implications of the demise of major city newspapers for the coverage of race and politics? \nJuan Williams of NPR and Fox News will discuss these and related questions in a candid conversation with Phillip Thompson\, associate professor of urban politics in the Department of Urban Studies and Planning at MIT\, and David Thorburn\, professor of literature and director of the MIT Communications Forum.

SUMMARY:Political Remix Video: A Participatory Post-Modern Critique of Popular Culture
DESCRIPTION:Elisa Kreisinger\nRemixers are on the front lines of the battle between new media technologies and impeding copyright laws that threaten to obstruct the public discursive space for critiquing popular culture. These spaces are abundant with meticulously crafted and articulate video remixes that deconstruct social myths\, challenge dominant media messages and form powerful arguments reflecting the participatory nature of both pop and remix cultures. We’ll deconstruct these videos\, honor the history of female fan vidders and the influences of African-American hip-hop cultures and debate the remix’s ability to effect actual change. \nElisa Kreisinger is a video remix artist\, hacktivst and writer. She co-edits the blog\, PoliticalRemixVideo.com\, teaches new media to Cambridge teens and is currently working on her first screenplay.

SUMMARY:Richard Rouse\, "Cinematic Games"
DESCRIPTION:Richard Rouse\nMany people talk about “cinematic” games\, but what does this really mean? Over their century of existence\, films have been using a range of techniques to create specific emotional responses in their audience. Instead of simply using more cut-scenes\, better script writers\, or making more heavily scripted game experiences\, game designers can look to film techniques as an inspiration for new techniques that accentuate what games do well. This lecture will present film clips from a number of classic movies\, analyze how they work from a cinematic standpoint\, and then suggest ways these techniques can be used in gameplay to create even more stimulating experiences for gamers\, including examples from games that have successfully bridged the gap. \nRichard Rouse III is a game designer and writer\, best known for The Suffering horror games and his book Game Design: Theory & Practice. He is currently the Lead Single Player Designer on the story-driven FPS Homefront at Kaos Studios in New York City.
