  1. “Mediation and Remediation” September 22, 2011

  2. “Hypermediacy and transparent [ie. immediate] media are opposite manifestations of the same desire: the desire to get past the limits of representation and to achieve the real” (53).

  12. Each [medium] participates in a network of technical, social, and economic contexts; this network constitutes the medium as a technology” (65). Networks of Remediation

  13. A medium in our culture can never operate in isolation, because it must enter into relationships of respect and rivalry with other media” (65). Networks of Remediation

  14. Our culture conceives of each medium or constellation of media as it responds to, redeploys, competes with, and reforms other media. . .ours is a genealogy of affiliations, not a linear history, and in this genealogy, older media can also remediate newer ones” (55). Networks of Remediation

  15. What is a Medium?

  16. What is a Medium? For Bolter and Grusin, a “medium” is “that which remediates.” However, for them, a medium “can never operate in isolation” (65).

  17. The Material and Economic Dimensions of Remediation

  18. Each new medium has to find its economic place by replacing or supplementing what is already available . . . economic success, can come only by convincing consumers that the new medium improves on the experience of the older ones” (68). Material/Economic Dimensions

  19. The Social Dimension

  20. “The appeal to authenticity of experience is what brings the logics of immediacy and hypermediacy together. This appeal is socially constructed. . .[w]hat seems immediate to one group is highly mediated to another” (71). The Social Dimension

  22. Epistemological Two Senses of Immediacy

  23. Epistemological “. . .immediacy is transparency: the absence of mediation or representation” (70) “. . .the notion that a medium could erase itself and leave the viewer in the presence of the objects represented” (70) Two Senses of Immediacy

  24. Epistemological • Psychological Two Senses of Immediacy

  25. Epistemological • Psychological “. . .names the viewer’s feeling that the medium has disappeared and the objects are present to him, a feeling that his experience is therefore authentic.”(70) Two Senses of Immediacy

  26. Epistemological Two Senses of Hypermediacy

  27. Epistemological “. . .hypermediacy is opacity—the fact that knowledge of the world comes to us through media. The viewer acknowledges that she is in the presence of a medium. . .”(71) Two Senses of Hypermediacy

  28. Epistemological • Psychological Two Senses of Hypermediacy

  29. Epistemological • Psychological “. . .the experience that she has in and of the presence of media; it is the insistence that the experience of the medium is itself an experience of the real”(71) Two Senses of Hypermediacy
