Shownotes

This is the first of two episodes on Kember and Zylinska’s essay “Mediation and the Vitality of Media” from their book, Life after New Media:  Mediation as a Vital Process (2012).  Barry and Mike discuss the problems with and reasons for the binary divisions in media theory, particularly the way in which the field understands the relations between “old” and “new” media.  Kember and Zylinska note that the contradictions in the field stem from unresolved tensions in the McLuhan/Williams debate.  We discuss their attempts to overcome the binary.
