Sam Franks
Second Key Terms
Remediation: (Deluca and Peeples)

Definition:the content has been borrowed, but the medium has not been appropriated or quoted. An example would be turning an existing story in novel form into another media – say, that same story in movie form. By definition it is the representation of one medium in another. The contemporary entertainment industry remediates all the time, but they call it “repurposing”. Another example of how remediation can challenge the original mediation is Encyclopedias on CD-ROM, where it has sound, video, graphics and links.

Example in Text:the representation of one medium in another(1999, p. 45)remediation means that a lot of our messages reflexively comment on themselves. According to this, we do not live in a world of rational discussion, which is what Deluca and Peeples argue in the text. 

Example: Digital cameras are a really good example of remediation.  The camera has evolved from the small pinhole made in a black box to a camera that displays and video records on the camera itself.  This remediation not only revolutionized documenting still events, but now captures actual actions in the form of video recording which has evolved from the old-fashioned shoulder camera that fit a VHS tape inside of it and weighed about twenty pounds.

Picture: USA Today, (Newspapers like USA Today remediate both television and the Windows layout of computer screens).

Second set of Key Terms

Hypermediacy: (Deluca and Peeples)

Book: “Hypermediacys are representations conceived of not as a window to the world, but rather as 'windowed' itself, with windows that open onto other representations or other media” (Pg 132).

Definition: The logic of hypermediacy multiplies the signs of mediation. Hypermediacy offers a heterogeneous space, in which representation is conceived of not as a window on to the world, but rather as windowed itself with windows that open on to other representations or other media. For example, the public screen is a scene of hypermediacy. A combination of “random access” with multimedia – an experience born of TV and computer technologies, with no physical beginning, middle or end.

Example: An early example of hypermediacy is the elaborate Baroque cathedral with windows, alter pieces and statues juxtaposed in contradictory spatial logics.

Movement Evolution, Social Movement Establishment Keywords

Keyword Post 

Movement Evolution 












Definition: 
Movement: Forms of collective action that develop in response to social demands that otherwise interfere with the human rights.

Evolution: Movements that evolve and/or adapt to societal changes. In other words, they are shaped by circumstances that grow or regress in response to factors that help or constrain the movement.

Example: Gay Rights movement seen as an opportunity to spark awareness among-st other various sexual preferences and identities, also seen as the LGTB community.

Quote:
1.)  "While all social movements evolve and adapt to societal changes, significant departures from established movement norms and procedures seldom take place without internal conflict. If a movement evolves gradually over time." (Stewart, pg. 488)
2.) "... the emergence of new organizations, leaders, ideologies, or strategies may generate considerable internal conflict. Fred Powledge chronicles the jealousies, competition, and in-fighting within the civil rights movement." (Stewart, pg. 488)
3.) "... to change the dimensions and direction of the civil rights movement and restructure it around new axes and new power bases." (Stewart, pg. 492).

Social Movement Establishment 

Definition: The situation in which a movement is recognized and seen as an opportunity for action.

Example: Take for example, Rosa Park's arrest on the bus. Her arrest caused a bus boycott in response to her charges. These protests would lead to an established civil rights movement. 

Quote: 
1.) "Carmichael was the right person, at the right place, at the right time. He sensed the mood of the movement, seized the moment, and mounted the stage set by others to luanch major evolutionary changes in the movement." (Stewart, pg. 492)
2.) "No single catalytic or triggering event brought about the evolution of the civil rights movement, but a long series of events, crises, and failures to meet rising expectations fostered by movement rhetoric resulted in widespread disaffection with both institutional and movement establishments."
