TThe changes, which according to Universities and Sciences Minister David Willetts are set to modernise the system, will see a reduction in the amount of financial support the government is set to provide students, instead placing a larger proportion of responsibility on their universities. As part of the changes to the system, Willetts proposed that the government would only pay for “higher specification” or “higher cost” computers when needed by a student “solely by virtue of their disability”, ceasing support for students requiring regular computers, as well as help BIRMINGHAMMAIL.CO.UK with warranty or insurance costs. 3 and the Deputy President: Finance and the subsequent responses from Club to have a major election Additionally, while the government Stephen Ball and Services will be acting as the the Union.

  • Transmedia Muppets: the Possibilities of Performer Narratives
    Volume 5, Issue 2 September 2012 Transmedia Muppets: The Possibilities of Performer Narratives AARON CALBREATH-FRASIEUR, University of Nottingham ABSTRACT This article examines how the Muppets franchise engages with transmedia narratives, their stories moving fluidly between television, film, comics, the internet and more. Rather than highlight the complexity Henry Jenkins (2006), Elizabeth Evans (2011) and others associate with transmedia, an examination of the Muppets offers insight into a mechanism that allows for simpler coherent connection between texts. The Muppets’ ongoing performer narrative challenges the prevailing understanding of transmedia storytelling. As performative characters (singers, actors, performance artists), any text concerned with Muppets, even those in which they act as other characters, becomes part of an overarching Muppet narrative. A high degree of self-reflexivity further supports transmediality, as most Muppet texts contain references to that text as a performance by the Muppets. Thus the comic Muppet Robin Hood and the film Muppet Treasure Island continue the story of the Muppets as further insight is gained into the characters' personalities and ongoing performance history. Examining different iterations of the Muppets franchise illuminates the ramifications of performer narratives for transmedia storytelling. KEYWORDS Transmedia storytelling, franchise, narrative, Muppets, multi-platform For over fifty-five years the Muppets have been appearing in media texts. They began on local television but have spread across most contemporary mediums, with many of these texts part of the over-arching, ongoing Muppet story. This article explores an alternative framework for defining one form of transmedia storytelling. This model suggests a complication in the understanding of transmedia storytelling put forward by Henry Jenkins (2006) and Elizabeth Evans (2011).

  • Bab Ii Meme Internet Dan Perannya Dalam Literasi
    50 BAB II MEME INTERNET DAN PERANNYA DALAM LITERASI MEDIA 2.0 Pada Bab 2 ini peneliti akan menampilkan gagasan-gagasan yang berkaitan dengan penelitian ini dari ruang lingkup yang lebih luas, dengan melihat perkembangan teknologi media, fenomena yang terjadi, fitur-fitur pendukung dan dampak yang dihasilkan dari fenomena meme internet. Akan dibahas pula data meme internet global serta kategorisasinya berdasarkan pembentukan struktur kerangka. Untuk memahami perkembangan meme lebih lanjut, pada Bab ini juga akan ditampilkan sejarah bentuk visual meme secara global, antara lain bentuk visual pertama yang menyerupai meme, selain itu peneliti juga akan menjelaskan bentuk-bentuk eksploitasi gambar visual sebelum era digital yang mempopulerkan istilah meme di Indonesia. 2.1. Literasi Media 2.0 Demokrasi dan kehadiran internet memicu perilaku baru dalam konsumsi media masa, yang tadinya informasi ditransmisikan secara simultan dari satu sumber ke banyak orang, kini tidak ada lagi batas yang jelas antara pemberi dan penerima informasi, siapapun dapat menyampaikan informasi apapun kepada siapapun. Holmes (2015;10) dalam Communication Theory: Media, Technology and Society menguraikan perbedaan era media yang pertama dan kedua; 51 “Era media pertama bersifat terpusat dari sedikit sumber menuju banyak khalayak, komunikasi bersifat satu arah, diarahkan untuk kontrol negara, instrumen bagi rezim yang sedang berkuasa untuk menciptakan stratifikasi dan ketidakadilan, kalangan partisipan terfragmentasi dan terbentuk sebagai massa dan mempengaruhi kesadaran. Sementara itu era media kedua ditandai oleh terjadinya desentralisasi dari banyak pihak kepada banyak pihak, komunikasi berjalan secara dua arah, kalangan partisipan dipandang menjaga individualitas mereka dan mempengaruhi individiual terutama pengalaman ruang dan waktu”. Pengguna internet disuguhi berbagai kemudahan teknologi untuk menuangkan gagasan, merespon peristiwa dan menyampaikan opini melalui kanal website, blog, media sosial dalam bentuk tulisan, gambar, suara, atau yang kini populer yaitu meme internet.

  • 2012 SUNDANCE FILM FESTIVAL ANNOUNCES FILMS in SPOTLIGHT, PARK CITY at MIDNIGHT, NEXT <=> and NEW FRONTIER
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Media Contacts: December 1, 2011 Sarah Eaton 310.360.1981 [email protected] Casey De La Rosa 310.360.1981 [email protected] 2012 SUNDANCE FILM FESTIVAL ANNOUNCES FILMS IN SPOTLIGHT, PARK CITY AT MIDNIGHT, NEXT <=> AND NEW FRONTIER Park City, UT — Sundance Institute announced today the films selected to screen in the 2012 Sundance Film Festival out-of-competition sections Spotlight, Park City at Midnight, NEXT <=> and New Frontier. The Festival takes place from January 19 through 29 in Park City, Salt Lake City, Ogden and Sundance, Utah. The complete list of films is available at www.sundance.org/festival. Trevor Groth, Director of Programming for the Sundance Film Festival, said, “In many ways, the extremes of the Festival’s program are most readily apparent in our out-of-competition sections, which showcase the wildest comedies, the most terrifying horror films and uncompromised visions from singular voices springing up from around the country and the world. We hope audiences experiment with their film selections to an equal degree as these filmmakers have experimented with their storytelling.” SPOTLIGHT Regardless of where these films have played throughout the world, the Spotlight program is a tribute to the cinema we love. Corpo Celeste / Italy (Director and screenwriter: Alice Rohrwacher) — After moving back to southern Italy with her mother and older sister, 13-year-old Marta struggles to find her place, restlessly testing the boundaries of an unfamiliar city and the catechism of the Catholic church. Cast: Yle Vianello, Salvatore Cantalupo, Anita Caprioli, Renato Carpentiere. Declaration Of War / France (Director: Valérie Donzelli, Screenwriters: Jérémie Elkaïm, Valérie Donzelli) — A young couple embark upon a painful, enlightening journey when they discover that their newborn child is very ill.
