I have just joined MediaCommons, and I find this proposal very exciting, and so related to my work in Limited Fork Theory: the study of interacting language systems (any/all visual, sonic, olfactory, tactile systems/subsystems on any/all scales). Much has had to be reconfigured in fulfillment of principles and predictions made by LFT, including a shift from “poem” to “poam” –products of act of making. Form is to be created as much as the content of form.

For examples of my video poam work, please visit: http://www.youtube.com/forkergirl.
I also maintain a number of blogs and podcasts.

Hi Keathley and all,
I wonder if your proposal ever materialized, and if one can find these scholarly videos anywhere.
Thanks,
Ohad

I think this is a great idea, and frankly long overdue.

I have presented video essays at traditional academic conferences (like SCMS), and that experience has led me to consider their relationship to traditional paper presentations. While I agree with Chris’ statement that the video essay “will employ a discourse that is poetic as well as explanatory” I think the emphasis tends to be far more toward the poetic…And that’s a good thing in my book.

Whereas the strength of the traditional academic paper is often the “argument” and the ability to provide the answer to a question, I would argue that the strength of the video essay is that it poses questions.

As you might imagine, I think this is a wonderful proposal. I will keep my eye on what you are doing and will participate if I can.
