Week13 1.6.1

Marshall McLuhan & Raymond Williams talk about very different theorists of media.But between McLuhan and Williams is different.McLuhan says new media change everything.Williams tells media can only take effect through already present social processes and sustain existing power relations.There are the status of McLuhan and Williams.One thing is Mainstream of media studies played technological elements medium has.And Williams and Mcluhan carried out their influential work in the 1960s and 1970s.Marshall McLuhan’s major works are “The medium is the message” and “global village”.People call opposite of popular culture 'Central culture'.What does mean central?I think it comes from people’s an idea.Central likes traditional and good.But I think popular also is good.Culture never comes into popular.

Week13 1.5.5

The ‘culture industry’, the end of democratic participation and critical distance, is Strinati and Alan Meek.Mass society critics feared four things.First, the debasement and displacementSecond, the erosion of high cultural traditionsThird, loss of the ability of these cultural traditions to comment critically on society 's valuesLast, the indoctrination and manipulation.Totalitarianism is Fascism and Stalinism.It appears upon standardization, political indoctrination.And people are controlled 3S, sex, screen, sports.In those days popular culture grows up!!!Because of viewer are getting more.The ‘mere’ consumer comes from tyranny of market.I think couch potato is good case.Active looking back to a pre-mass culture are the recovery of community, the removal of central authority, control, online publishing and virtual communities.The Brechtian avant-garde and lost opportunitiesv are Bertolt Brecht and Walter Benjamin.Bertolt Brecht says the Radio as an apparatus of communication.He also speaks two-way channels of communication in radio.I think nowadays radio web service offers listener to bring into relationship.Web service is real-time. So listener can send their tales that time.Walter Benjamin talks about “aura”.The “aura” means quality or feeling that seems to surround a person or place or to come from them.

What is old media? Is it photography or Television ? Somebody hate Television. Because they think television is foolish box .Right, New media like interactive art or game is excellent. However, Television is also excellent because it express many stories through moving image.

Old media in new times?'Digital television' is not a new medium but is best understood as a change in the form of delivering the contents of the TV medium.

House telephone and cell phone..people are sensitive in change, It is important that keep consecutiveness that change.
