RESUMO Este projeto de Doutorado, vinculado à área de concentração Linguagem e Educação, do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Linguística Aplicada (PPGLA/IEL/UNICAMP), centra-se na cultura otaku em contexto digital, focando, principalmente, nas produções audiovisuais pertencentes ao portal animemusicvideos.org (the org), comunidade cujo objetivo é a elaboração, distribuição e apreciação de remix de imagens em movimento produzidos a partir de animações japonesas, os Anime Music Videos (AMVs). Buscamos, primeiramente, descrever, segundo as teorias de Mikhail Bakhtin e seu Círculo, os enunciados produzidos nesse contexto e, com isso, esboçar um quadro geral bakhtiniano de análise para remix de imagem em movimento que possa fornecer direcionamentos para construção de parâmetros de didatização centrados na concepção da Pedagogia dos Novos e Multiletramentos. Para tanto, propomos integrar perspectiva enunciativo-discursiva formulada para a linguagem verbal com método objetivo de análise de objetos multimodais, por meio de um desenho de pesquisa misto, quantitativo-qualitativo, baseado em distribuições estatísticas de escolhas formais e estilísticas, em que o corpus de pesquisa será preparado para descrição e análise a partir de técnicas de visualização de dados denominadas de media visualization (principalmente, Lev Manovich e Eduardo Navas), as quais nos permitirão criar imagens e gráficos, com intuito de revelar relações e padrões existentes em nosso conjunto de dados audiovisuais, de maneira a propiciar transições produtivas entre os conceitos propostos por Bakhtin e seu Círculo (principalmente o de arquitetônica) e ferramentas de análise de edição e montagem de vídeo (principalmente, Vincent Amiel e Eli Horwatt). Palavras-chave: Remix; Anime Music Video (AMV); Cultura Otaku; Arquitetônica; Media Visualization. ABSTRACT This PhD project, linked to the area of concentration Language and Education in Applied Linguistics Program (PPG-LA/IEL/UNICAMP) focus on otaku culture, mainly on the audiovisual productions belonging to the portal animemusicvideos.org (the org), community whose goal is the elaboration and distribution of Japanese animations remixes called Anime Music Videos (AMVs). We seek to describe the AMVs produced in this context according to the theories of Mikhail Bakhtin and his Circle and thereby outline a Bakhtinian framework of analysis for remix videos that can provide directions for the construction of pedagogical parameters centered on the conception of New Literacies and Pedagogy of Multiliteracies. To do so, we propose to integrate an enunciative-discursive perspective formulated for the verbal language with an analysis objective method of multimodal objects through a mixed research design, quantitative and qualitative, based on statistical distributions of formal choices and stylistic. The corpus prepared for description and analysis from data visualization techniques (mostly, Lev Manovich and Eduardo Navas), will allow us to create images and graphics to reveal relationships and patterns in our collection of audiovisual data. Therefore, this methodological approach aims to provide productive transitions between the concepts proposed by Bakhtin and his Circle (mostly, architectonic) and analysis of editing and video editing tools (mostly, Vincent Amiel and Eli Horwatt). Keywords: Remix, Anime Music Video (AMV), Otaku Culture, Architectonics, Media Visualization. LISTA DE FIGURAS FIGURA 1 – AMV: FLASH, VLAD G POHNERT.

Fromer* Abstract: Copyright law, which promotes the creation of cultural and artistic works by protecting these works from being copied, excuses infringement that is deemed to be a fair use. Whether an otherwise infringing work is a fair use is determined by courts weighing at least four factors, one of which is the effect of the otherwise infringing work on the market for the copyrighted work. The Supreme Court’s decision just over twenty years ago in Campbell v. Acuff-Rose Music, Inc. opened the door to a laudable analytical framework for the bearing of market effects on fair use. First, Campbell supports a more full-bodied investigation of the market effects—both harms and benefits—of defendants’ works on plaintiffs’ copyrighted works.

  • Video Essay, Mashup, Copy Right
    Referencing in Academia: Video Essay, Mashup, Copy right Eckart Voigts, Katerina Marshfield 1. Introduction: Producing and Podcasting Videographic Material Digital media have established a remix and mashup machine that has generated a rich range of recombinant appropriations (Voigts 2017)— compiled videos, samplings, remixes, reboots, mashups, short clips, and other material involving text, sound, and image — ​typically found (and lost) on web-based video databases. These remix practices raise ques- tions about referencing and copy right in academic teaching, learning and researching environments that have yet to be fully addressed. Five years ago, in their introduction to Transgression 2.0, Ted Gournelos and David Gunkel pointed out that mashup culture tends to operate in a murky, transgressive legal situation: [...] mashup and remixing are patently and unapologetically ille- gal. Produced by appropriating, decontextualizing, and recombin- ing the creative material of others, the mashup is a derivative ‘com- position’ that violates the metaphysical concept of originality, the cultural status of the author and the authority of authorship, and every aspect of intellectual property law and copy right (Gunkel/ Gournelos 2012: 11). In this paper, we will provide a tentative view of the current situation that has grown from a teaching project entitled ‘Producing and Podcast- ing Film Analytical Audio Commentaries’. We will proceed by providing Media in Action | Issue 2/2017 | http://mediainaction.uni-siegen.de 114 Thematic Focus : Copy right Law a short portrait of the project, before focussing on the issues of evaluat- ing and referencing videographic material, remixes and mashups. The aim of the ‘Audio Commentaries’ project was to develop student cultural techniques (in German ‘Kulturtechniken’).

  • Serial Historiography: Literature, Narrative History, and the Anxiety of Truth
    SERIAL HISTORIOGRAPHY: LITERATURE, NARRATIVE HISTORY, AND THE ANXIETY OF TRUTH James Benjamin Bolling A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of English and Comparative Literature. Chapel Hill 2016 Approved by: Minrose Gwin Jennifer Ho Megan Matchinske John McGowan Timothy Marr ©2016 James Benjamin Bolling ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Ben Bolling: Serial Historiography: Literature, Narrative History, and the Anxiety of Truth (Under the direction of Megan Matchinske) Dismissing history’s truths, Hayden White provocatively asserts that there is an “inexpugnable relativity” in every representation of the past. In the current dialogue between literary scholars and historical empiricists, postmodern theorists assert that narrative is enclosed, moribund, and impermeable to the fluid demands of history. My critical intervention frames history as a recursive, performative process through historical and critical analysis of the narrative function of seriality. Seriality, through the material distribution of texts in discrete components, gives rise to a constellation of entimed narrative strategies that provide a template for human experience. I argue that serial form is both fundamental to the project of history and intrinsically subjective. Rather than foreclosing the historiographic relevance of storytelling, my reading of serials from comic books to the fiction of William Faulkner foregrounds the possibilities of narrative to remain open, contingent, and responsive to the potential fortuities of historiography. In the post-9/11 literary and historical landscape, conceiving historiography as a serialized, performative enterprise controverts prevailing models of hermeneutic suspicion that dominate both literary and historiographic skepticism of narrative truth claims and revives an ethics responsive to the raucous demands of the past.

  • Alternate Universe Fan Videos and the Reinterpretation of the Media
    Alternate Universe Fan Videos and the Reinterpretation of the Media Source Introduction According to the Francesca Coppa, American scholar and co-founder of the Organization for Transformative Works1, fan videos are “a form of grassroots filmmaking in which clips from television shows and movies are set to music.”2 Fan videos are commonly referred to as: fanvid, songvid, vid, AMV (for Anime Music Video); their process of creation is called vidding and their editors (fan)vidders. While the “media tradition” described above in Francesca Coppa‟s definition is a crucial part of the fan video production, many other fan videos are created for anime, especially Asian ones (AMV), for video games (some of them called Machinima), or even for other subjects, from band tributes to other types of remix. The vidding tradition – in its current “shape” – goes back to the era of the first VCR; but the very first fan videos may be traced back to the seventies in a slideshow format. When channel mixers and numerous machines available to a large group of consumers emerged, this fan activity easily became an expanding one amongst the fan communities, who were often interested in new technology, whatever era it is. Vidding has now become a digital process, thanks to the expansion of computer and related technical means, including at least semiprofessional editing software. It seems relevant to point out how rare it is that a vidder goes through editing training when they begin to create fan videos, or even become a professional editor later on. Of course, exceptions exist, but vidding generally remains a hobby.

  • Found Footage Experience. Pratictices of Cinematic Re-Use and Forms of Contemporary Film
    Found Footage Experience. Pratictices of cinematic re-use and forms of contemporary film edited by Rossella Catanese (University of Udine) and Giacomo Ravesi (Roma Tre University) In contemporary visual culture, the polysemy of cinematographic language finds its emblematic manifestation in the various paradigms of image re-use, which contextualises and relocates their functions in new interpretative formulas. The practice of found footage consists of the cinematographic, videographic and artistic practice of appropriation, re-elaboration and re- assembly of pre-existing images retrieved from heterogeneous media archives: from photography to stock footage and from home-movies to TV documentation and the web. One of the attractions of postmodern culture as a form of recycling, re-use and combination of different materials recovered from a past interpreted as a vast reservoir of imagery, found footage keeps its interest alive even in the epistemological trajectories of the so-called “new realism,” where a “society of recording” emerges (Ferraris 2011) in which everything must leave a trace and be archived. Moreover, deconstructionist thought has shown how inheritance should be understood not as a datum but always as a task, since archiving also responds to the need for regulation: preserving documents means imposing an order and establishing control through safeguarding and cataloguing devices. At the same time, audiovisual consumption practices have today become complex and composite forms of reception which rewrite the spectatorial experience and the uses and habits of accessibility, availability and relationship with films and audiovisual materials. The history of cinema is configured as a “visual deposit” (Bertozzi 2012) at the origin of the development of new formal writings and metaphorical processes.

  • Workshop of Potential Scholarship: Manifesto for a Parametric Videographic Criticism
    EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF MEDIA STUDIES www.necsus-ejms.org Workshop of Potential Scholarship: Manifesto for a parametric videographic criticism Alan O’Leary NECSUS 10 (1), Spring 2021: 75–98 URL: https://necsus-ejms.org/workshop-of-potential-scholarship- manifesto-for-a-parametric-videographic-criticism/ Abstract This article sets out the rationale for a videographic scholarship (the audiovisual study of screen media) that adopts constraint-based or ‘parametric’ procedures, and concludes with a short manifesto com- posed according to the simple constraint of division into ten equal segments of 50 words each. The article situates a parametric practice in relation to OuLiPo (a group founded in the early 1960s to explore constraint-based approaches to writing), to pataphysics (an absurdist branch of knowledge concerned with what eludes understanding by conventional means), to themes in the digital humanities, and to the posthuman. And it issues a call to forge an ‘agonistic society’ of vide- ographic scholars who goad each other to greater achievement through the conspicuous and wasteful expenditure of resources of knowledge. Keywords: constraints, cyborg, Donna Haraway, enactment, OuLiPo, pataphysics, posthuman, potlatch, video essay Introduction: OuScholPo This essay proposes a rationale for a constraint-based or ‘parametric’ practice of videographic scholarship and is followed by a 500-word manifesto com- posed according to the simple constraint of division into ten equal segments of 50 words each.

  • In Your Dreams
    Core Apprenticeship Library Apprenticeship Sector: Arts & Culture Unit Guide: In Your Dreams In Your Dreams The In Your Dreams unit is a series of inquiry-driven lessons designed to boost students’ sophistication as nonfiction readers. The culminating zine project requires students to integrate information from multiple sources, selecting details to support a central idea. Students will also gain vocabulary skills, including the use of word roots and affixes and an awareness of words’ connotations. Students will learn to “read like writers,” which requires thinking about the choices authors have made in terms of content, format, and word choice. Unit Standards and Objectives Standard #1: Citizen Schools students will prepare a clear written communication. Standard #2: CCSS.RI.6.1: Cite textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text. Standard #3: CCSS.RI.6.2: Determine a central idea of a text and how it is conveyed through details. Standard #4: CCSS.RI.6.4: Determine the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in a text, including figurative, connotative, and technical meanings Standard #5: CCSS.RI.6.6: Determine an author’s point of view or purpose in a text and explain how it is conveyed in the text. Lesson Objectives: ● SWBAT identify the big idea of a text. ● SWBAT identify two details that support the big idea of a text. ● SWBAT provide a brief summary of the text. ● SWBAT read like a writer by thinking about why the author made the choices s/he did, and what the author is trying to get the reader to think, feel, or understand while they are reading.
