Описание: In this groundbreaking collection, Dr. Jenna Ng brings together academics and award-winning artists and machinima makers to explore the fascinating combination of cinema, animation and games in machinima (the use of computer game engines to produce animated films in cost- and time-efficient ways). Book-ended by a preface by Henry Lowood (curator for history of science and technology collections at Stanford University) and an interview with Isabelle Arvers (machinima artist, trainer, critic, and curator), the collection features wide-ranging discussions addressing machinima not only from diverse theoretical perspectives, but also in its many dimensions as game art, First Nations media art, documentary, and pedagogical tool. Making use of interactive multimedia to enhance the text, each chapter features a QR code which leads to a mobile website cross-referencing with its print text, integrating digital and print content while also taking into account the portability of digital devices in resonance with machinima's mobile digital forms. Exploring the many dimensions of machinima production and reception, Understanding Machinima extends machinima's critical scholarship and debate, underscoring the exciting potential of this emerging media form.

Описание: Hollywood films often "cue" Latin American audiences to interpret media texts in ways that would not be fully appreciated by a U.S. audience. For example, in 1952 a U.S. audience seeing High Noonwould have watched as the lawman "Will Kane," Gary Cooper, stood alone and defended a town of righteous cowards as a matter of principle. They might have connected the scenario with the struggle against McCarthyism (1950-1954) that was ongoing. In contrast, the majority of Latin American viewers unfamiliar with McCarthyism might simply have seen the film on a "mythic" level as a struggle between good and evil. But Latin American audiences would have also noticed the first time a Mexican woman, "Helen Ramirez," played by Katy Jurado, was on equal or superior moral footing with the white woman "Amy Fowler," Grace Kelly. In the film it was Helen who gave Amy a lesson on how to stand by her man Kane. Films about Latino life, argue authors Chad Tew and John Marambio, reveal symptoms of the crisis behind the ongoing national debate about immigration in the United States. The idea of 'Paradise' is the primary meta-narrative used to construct the United States in Hollywood films. In Clash in Paradise, the authors show how these films simultaneously contain conflicting narratives about human movement across borders and the struggle over who has the right to live in paradise. These conflicting narratives within Hollywood films result in a sense of confusion and misunderstanding that runs between both communities.The authors conceptualize how communication between ethnic and cultural communities can be achieved through movies and other popular culture media, such as crossover Latino music, and the reasons why sometimes communities fail to understand the others' point of view. Clash in Paradise provides a timely and incisive overview of the myriad ways in which portrayals of Latino life in Hollywood films impact upon the realities of life in the US for immigrants.
Latinos constitute the fastest-growing and largest ethnic minority in the United States, yet less than one percent of network news coverage deals with Latinos as the focus of a story. Out of that one percent, even fewer stories are positive in either content or tone. Author of the acclaimed Brown Tide Rising: Metaphors of Latinos in Contemporary American Public Discourse, Otto Santa Ana has completed a comprehensive analysis of this situation, blending quantitative research with semiotic readings and ultimately applying cognitive science and humanist theory to explain the repercussions of this marginal, negative coverage.
Santa Ana’s choice of network evening news as the foundation for Juan in a Hundred is significant because that medium is currently the single most authoritative and influential source of opinion-generating content. In his 2004 research, Santa Ana calculated that among approximately 12,000 stories airing across four networks (ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC), only 118 dealt with Latinos, a ratio that has remained stagnant over the past fifteen years. Examining the content of the stories, from briefs to features, reveals that Latino-tagged events are apparently only broadcast when national politics or human calamity are involved, and even then, the Latino issue is often tangential to a news story as a whole. On global events involving Latin America, U.S. networks often remain silent while BBC correspondents prepare fully developed, humanizing coverage. The book concludes by demonstrating how this obscurity and misinformation perpetuate maligned perceptions about Latinos. Santa Ana’s inspiring calls for reform are poised to change the face of network news in America.
