SUMMARY:The Gutenberg Parenthesis: Oral Tradition and Digital Technologies
DESCRIPTION:Is our emerging digital culture partly a return to practices and ways of thinking that were central to human societies before the advent of the printing press? This question has been posed with increasing force in recent years by anthropologists\, folklorists\, historians and literary scholars\, among them Thomas Pettitt\, who has contributed significantly to elaborating and communicating the version of this question named in the title of today’s forum. \nThe concept of a “Gutenberg Parenthesis” — formulated by Prof. L. O. Sauerberg of the University of Southern Denmark — offers a means of identifying and understanding the period\, varying between societies and subcultures\, during which the mediation of texts through time and across space was dominated by powerful permutations of letters\, print\, pages and books. Our current transitional experience toward a post-print media world dominated by digital technology and the internet can be usefully juxtaposed with that of the period — Shakespeare’s — when England was making the transition into the parenthesis from a world of scribal transmission and oral performance. \nMIT professors Peter Donaldson and James Paradis will join Pettitt in a discussion of the value of historical perspectives on our technologizing human present.

SUMMARY:Exit Zero: Documentary Filmmaking\, Historical Memory\, and Personal Voice
DESCRIPTION:This talk explores the making of Exit Zero\, an in-progress documentary film about deindustrialization\, community\, class\, and family in a former steel mill region in southeast Chicago. It examines questions of historical memory\, the use of personal voice\, and the long-standing relationship between anthropology and documentary filmmaking. The film utilizes material from multiple sources\, including cinéma vérité footage shot over the course of a decade\, interviews\, and home movies made by steel mill area residents between the 1930s and 1980s. The talk raises broader questions about the shifting nature of anthropological engagement with media-making and documentary film in particular. Clips from the work-in-progress will be shown. \nChris Boebel is a documentary and narrative filmmaker. He is the writer/director of a number of award-winning short fiction films\, the independent feature film Red Betsy\, and is co-director of the documentary Containment: Life After Three Mile Island. He currently works as a producer of films about science and engineering at MIT with AMPS/MIT Libraries. \nChristine Walley is an Associate Professor of Anthropology at MIT. In conjunction with Chris Boebel\, she is making Exit Zero. The film serves as a companion to an in-progress book entitled\, The Struggle for Existence from the Cradle to the Grave.

SUMMARY:CMS 10th Anniversary Symposium
DESCRIPTION:2010 marks the 10th anniversary of Comparative Media Studies at MIT. \nThis is ten years of groundbreaking applied humanities. Ten years of thinking across media forms\, national boundaries\, and historical periods. Ten years of bridging theory and practice\, of working with industry leaders\, artists\, and policymakers…ten years of preparing students for jobs that didn’t yet exist. \nSo we’re hosting a day-long celebration on April 23 looking back over the history of the program\, featuring alumni\, current students and researchers\, and even former director Henry Jenkins. We hope you can make it–and help us shape the next ten years of Comparative Media Studies.
