Aesthetics And Audiovisual Metaphors In Media Perception, Kathrin Fahlenbrach
Aesthetics And Audiovisual Metaphors In Media Perception, Kathrin Fahlenbrach
CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture
In her paper, "Aesthetics and Audiovisual Metaphors in Media Perception," Kathrin Fahlenbrach presents a model of audiovisual analysis where focus is on audiovisual aesthetics perceived physically and affectively. Fahlenbrach starts out from the assumption that image and sound are inseparable in audiovisual media and must be treated as a unit, a "synchresis" (Chion). Fahlenbrach proposes that only this premise is able to cover the pre-consciously perceived elements sufficiently, namely the sensorial and affective structures of audiovisual aesthetics. Fahlenbrach articulates some aspects for an audiovisual aesthetics that concentrate on the interfaces between audiovisual perception and audiovisual design and employs to this …

A New Look At Robert J. Flaherty's Documentary Art, Gerhard Lampe
A New Look At Robert J. Flaherty's Documentary Art, Gerhard Lampe
CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture
In his paper, "A New Look at Robert J. Flaherty's Documentary Art," Gerhard Lampe challenges the general view of documentary film director Robert J. Flaherty's work. In film studies, it is generally assumed that Flaherty ignored cinematographic developments and kept repeating himself by telling his stories of mythical battles of the individual against the powers of nature in always the same old-fashioned way. He is said to have improved his "photographic eye" with the help of improved lenses and more detailed shots; nevertheless, he did not show any interest in editing problems and sound recording. By comparing Flaherty's Nanook of …
Mental Models Of Communication And Television Advertising, Detlev Nothnagel, Gilda Vera Aguirre
Mental Models Of Communication And Television Advertising, Detlev Nothnagel, Gilda Vera Aguirre
CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture
In their paper, "Mental Models of Communication and Television Advertising," Detlev Nothnagel and Gilda Vera Aguirre discuss the question whether and if so, how and to what extent television advertisement spots differ cross-culturally. In contrast to the majority of studies on this topic, Nothnagel and Aguirre concentrate on a protocol-based formal analysis that is statistically oriented. In a more general perspective, the relation between face-to-face communication and communication mediated by technology is scrutinized. Provided that there are important differences, one hypothesis would be that they originate in habits of communication older than those found in technically-mediated communication. That would, at …
Imre Kertész's Nobel Prize, Public Discourse, And The Media, Steven Tötösy De Zepetnek
Imre Kertész's Nobel Prize, Public Discourse, And The Media, Steven Tötösy De Zepetnek
CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture
Steven Tötösy de Zepetnek, in his paper, "Imre Kertész's Nobel Prize, Public Discourse, and the Media," discusses aspects of media coverage in German-, Hungarian-, and English-language newspapers and magazines of the 2002 Nobel Prize in Literature, awarded to Imre Kertész. The perspective of Tötösy's analysis is to gauge the importance and impact of media coverage comparatively in the three cultural and media landscapes. Based on selected examples from newspapers and magazines with an international scope, Tötösy argues that the reception of Kertész's Nobel Prize suggests the convergence of the media (as the message) and the contents of the message within …
An Analysis Of Websites Of Bi-National Heterosexual Couples, Sadashivam Rao
An Analysis Of Websites Of Bi-National Heterosexual Couples, Sadashivam Rao
CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture
In his paper "An Analysis of Websites of Bi-national Heterosexual Couples," Sadashivam Rao discusses the design of world wide web homepages of bi-national couples. Rao shows how such websites become locations of the re-invention of notions of culture, generating a particular practice of representation, namely that of "hyphenating." Rao contends that the subjects of personal homepages enter the domain of the internet as entities already embedded in many other domains of discourse such as those of nationalism, culture, and media. Further, Rao proposes that this specific genre of websites reflects traces of these discourses. Of course, in the process of …
Media Icons Of War And The Instrumentalisation Of Images In Us-American Media Today, Reinhold Viehoff
Media Icons Of War And The Instrumentalisation Of Images In Us-American Media Today, Reinhold Viehoff
CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture
In his paper "Media Icons of War and the Instrumenalisation of Images in US-American Media Today," Reinhold Viehoff argues that the destruction of Saddam Hussein's statue in Baghdad in April 2004 by the US army represents an attempt to instrumentalise the logic of mass media as a strategy of public diplomacy. Viehoff explains the logic of mass media and public diplomacy of the US government and US media today in the context of the history of the destruction of monuments as played out on the landscape of media during and following the demise of the Soviet empire. Viehoff proposes that …
