Talking Television in a Pandemic, Episode 4: Technology
THE FOURTH IN A SPECIAL FIVE-PART SERIES ON HOW WE ENCOUNTER, ENGAGE WITH, AND TEACH TELEVISION STUDIES IN THE WAKE OF THE GLOBAL PANDEMIC.
How are old and new technologies impacting TV production, textuality, and reception? What possibilities are emerging, and what might be closing down? How does this impact media industries and/or media audiences? How do discourses of technology overlap and interact with discourses around the pandemic as well as the protests, and what might we make of that? In other words, how does the idea of “virality” resonate with televisual/video technologies in all of their forms?
Guest Scholars: AJ Christian, Myles McNutt, Linde Murugan, Lisa Parks
Host: Michelle Cho
