Transferential Poetics, From Poe To Warhol, Adam Frank
Transferential Poetics, From Poe To Warhol, Adam Frank
Literature
Transferential Poetics presents a method for bringing theories of affect to the study of poetics. Informed by the thinking of Silvan Tomkins, Melanie Klein, and Wilfred Bion, it offers new interpretations of the poetics of four major American artists: Edgar Allan Poe, Henry James, Gertrude Stein, and Andy Warhol. The author emphasizes the close, reflexive attention each of these artists pays to the transfer of feeling between text and reader, or composition and audience— their transferential poetics. The book’s historical route from Poe to Warhol culminates in television, a technology and cultural form that makes affect distinctly available to perception. …

Dvd Supplements: A Commentary On Commentaries, Jacqueline Reich, Giorgio Bertellini
CMS Faculty Publications
In the last few decades, as graduate seminars have explored the
postmodern heuristics of the “death of the author,” DVD editions
have popularized a range of audio and print supplements that
have, directly or indirectly, expanded films’ authorial halo. The notion
of the commentary is, of course, nothing new to the academy:
consider the multiple annotated editions of literary classics. But its
material extension to the home theater “experience” has had peculiar
cultural and economic consequences. As value-adding paratexts,
audio and printed commentaries can turn film texts into critical or
luxury editions, to be marketed to different levels of cinephilic …

Revisiting “Mass Communication” And The “Work” Of The Audience In The New Media Environment, Philip M. Napoli
Revisiting “Mass Communication” And The “Work” Of The Audience In The New Media Environment, Philip M. Napoli
McGannon Center Working Paper Series
This paper revisits the concept of mass communication, which has faced persistent challenges to its continued relevance in light of changes that have taken place in the media environment. This paper offers a counterpoint to claims of the term’s diminished relevance, as well as to some recent efforts to reposition the term, by putting forth an interpretive approach that is not exclusive to the “institutional communicator” and that allows the term “mass” to extend to both the senders and receivers of messages. This paper argues that this interpretive approach is in keeping with some early interpretations of the concept’s meaning, …
The Rationalization Of Audience Understanding, Philip M. Napoli
The Rationalization Of Audience Understanding, Philip M. Napoli
McGannon Center Working Paper Series
This paper reviews the literature that has examined how media organizations make sense of their audiences, the analytical techniques and technologies employed, and how this information is embraced or resisted in the operation of media organizations. As this review illustrates, the historical trend in audience understanding has been one of a steady process of rationalization in how media organizations have approached their audiences. In documenting this process of the rationalization of audience understanding, this review identifies key historical moments in this process. This review identifies the external forces that have influenced this process; the underlying reasons for it; and critiques …
Newspaper/Television Cross-Ownership And Local News And Public Affairs Programming On Television Stations: An Empirical Analysis, Michael Z. Yan
Newspaper/Television Cross-Ownership And Local News And Public Affairs Programming On Television Stations: An Empirical Analysis, Michael Z. Yan
McGannon Center Working Paper Series
This study analyzes the relationship between local newspaper/television cross-ownership and the presence and quantity of local news and local public affairs programming on broadcast television. The analyses, based on a two-week constructed random sample of television programming in 2003 for 226 randomly selected, plus 27 cross-owned television stations, show that cross-owned stations did not broadcast more local news than non-cross owned stations that also provided local news. In addition, cross-ownership had no significant relationship with either the presence or the quantity of local public affairs programming on commercial television.
