Confessions of an Aca/Fan: The Aesthetics of Transmedia: In Response to David Bordwell (Part One)
September 10, 2009David Bordwell, my graduate school mentor and one of the leading figures in academic film studies, joined the conversation about transmedia storytelling the other week with a typically thoughtful and engaging entry that explored the strengths and limits of transmedia as an expansion of the cinematic experience. Personally, I read Bordwell’s analysis as a friendly amendment and generous “shout out” to the work I’ve been doing on this topic, not to mention a timely one since it arrived on the eve of the start of my Transmedia Storytelling and Entertainment class at USC. His greatest contribution here is to raise a series of constructive objections and challenging questions any filmmaker would need to think through before moving their film — mainstream or independent — in a transmedia direction. To keep the conversation on these topics flowing, I thought I would respond to some of Bordwell’s arguments.

Media enhancements on written novels is a “natural step” in the future of ebooks and reading. That is not new for us. But portable multimedia devices -like iPhone or iTouch- are improving their convergence and portability capabilities, making them part of our daily lives.

El futuro del e-book se escribe día a día con apasionantes giros narrativos y múltiples protagonistas que contribuyen a modelar el cambiante presente de lo que, algún día, acabará siendo el negocio del libro electrónico del siglo XXI y venideros. La carrera hacia la mayor tajada del mercado del libro digital está al rojo vivo… y el favorito sigue siendo una incógnita.
Como hemos venido viendo, el mercado del libro y la lectura electrónica está sufriendo transformaciones aceleradas. Cada día aparecen posibilidades nuevas (que vienen, como siempre, con sus dificultades y detractotres). Es un camino largo, aún inexplorado, como plantea el artículo, una completa incógnita para actores establecidos en el modelo impreso. ¿Qué depara el futuro? Esa parece ser la pregunta del millón.

In response to Amazon’s filing in opposition to Google’s landmark settlement with publishers and authors, the Authors Guild, one of the parties to the settlement, fired back with a statement on its Web site late yesterday.
Google Books settlement is on fire. This settlement is leading the future of digital access to printed books. And not everybody seems to be happy. There’s a “declared war”.

Imagen de ALTAIR Libre
El pasado 9 de julio se realizó el mentado panel sobre la “Cultura de la lectura electrónica”, en el marco de Campus Party Colombia 2009. Por espacio de hora y media, Catalina, Natalia, Xpectro, Romero Varón, Jaime A. Rodríguez y yo, estuvimos conversando sobre el futuro de la lectura, del mundo editorial, de la teoría literaria y de los dispositivos.
En ese buen rato, de gratísima compañía, estuvimos conversando de un lado al otro con poco rigor, pero mucha diversión. Como todo en la vida, se recibieron críticas positivas y negativas, pero, afortunadamente, fueron más las positivas. Es por esto que me aliento a compartirles el audio grabado por los pilosos de ALTAIR Libre.
El audio contiene la mayor parte del panel, ya que en los últimos 10 minutos, la transmisión en directo tuvo que dirigirse a la conferencia de John “Maddog” Hall. Cosa completamente comprensible y lógica.
Espero que lo disfruten tanto como yo lo hice organizando y dando este panel (en serio, no es cortesía).

Para este tema sigue habiendo mucha tela por cortar.
