'Bring on the female superheroes!' - TED Talk by Christopher Bell

As we are taking our first tentative steps into 'Postmodern Media' please listen to this passionate TED Talk by Christopher Bell, Ph.D in which he asks 'where is all the female superhero stuff?'.

Consider the questions he raises about the way in which 'the media' exacts control over public perception and how easily women are 'erased' from the narrative.

He also uses some key terms including 'media saturation' (which we began discussing yesterday - see Dominic Striate quotes in the introductory doc) and 'public pedagogy' which we will be discussing regularly throughout the course.

Everything is a Remix - Part 3

Part three of Kirby Ferguson's excellent series on post-modernism.



If you missed parts 1 and 2, you can watch them here.

Nothing is original, it's all just a remix!

Thank go once again to Mr Wallis over at Ringwood School. He posted the two videos below on his Media Studies blog. They are excellent examples of Dominic Strinati's post-modern thesis on the media. Worth a watch for all AS and A2 Media Studies students.
