After one hundred years of existence, cinema’s position in media and art history has been questioned by several scholars, leading to the assumption that it was either an “intermezzo” (Zielinski) or a “detour” (Uricchio) in the history of television, a sidetrack in the history of animation (Manovich), or simply a new form of painting (Michaud). Especially from the digital perspective, Lev Manovich has made a strong point by claiming that the default mode of cinema is graphic instead of photographic, allowing us to make a bridge between Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller’s Sin City (2005) and Émile Reynaud’s pre cinematic “Pantomimes Lumineuses” of the early 1890s. Or to quote Manovich himself: “Born from animation, cinema pushed animation to its boundary, only to become one particular case of animation in the end.” Wanda Strauven, 2011. “The Observer’s Dilemma.” In Media Archaeology: Approaches, Applications, and Implications, edited by Erkki Huhtamo and Jussi Parikka, 148-163.

Napoli - Ready to Pounce

Season preview - 2019/2020

A change is as good as a holiday, but sometimes very little change can harness stability and elevate a team to be greater than the sum of their parts, inspiring them to break an 8-year reign over Italian football. At least that’s what they’re hoping down south in Naples. Ancelotti now has a year under his partenopei belt as the team continues its shift from the shadows of Sarrismo to the charm and raised brow of Carletto. 

That’s not to say that president De Laurentiis sewed his pockets shut this summer, not at all. Napoli signed few, but signed wisely. Manolas joins forces with Koulibaly in a central-defence pairing that’ll induce anxiety in even the most prolific opposition strikers. Young keeping prodigy, Alex Meret, will hope to put his injury woes behind him to lock down the Napoli goal and the #1 spot.

Empoli has served as a spiritual feeder club to Napoli of recent times; they provide Giovanni Di Lorenzo in an attempt to rectify the right-back headache of pasts seasons. Far from flashy; what Di Lorenzo has in his bag however is consistency, work-rate, and crossed service from the right flank. 

Hirving Lozano was courted last summer and finally joins to add bite and rotation to the front-line. Ancelotti is known to be an admirer of the Mexican known as Chucky, but he’ll do well to keep an eye(brow) on his temperament and discipline. Along with Insigne, Mertens, and Milik, Napoli will be as fearsome up front as they are at the back.

Napoli aren’t slouches in midfield either; Allan, Zielinski, and the growing star of Fabian Ruiz are joined by the exciting Elmas. In the past the Neapolitans have been criticized for their lack of depth, and although they can’t match Juventus in this department, it’s certainly been addressed and improved. Having all but given up on James Rodriguez, Aurelio Di Laurentiis is still keeping his door open in the hope of profiting from the Mauro Icardi soap opera, but the Argentine’s improbable move down south is probably a disguised blessing. As entertaining (dramatic) as it would be to have the fierty personalities of Icardi, Wanda, De Laurentiis, Lozano, and Napoli fans all swirling in the same cauldron, how detrimental would it be to results on the pitch?

On the Serie A starting grid, Napoli and Inter share a similar position; they need to be ready to take advantage of any early Juventus slip up, and/or be unrelenting throughout the season to capitalize on bianconeri tiredness (from Sarri’s possible meager rotation) or distractions from the UCL. 

It’s as good a chance for Scudetto glory as they’ve ever had in the De Laurentiis era, and their most potent weapon will be sitting on the bench, Carlo Ancelotti.

[oral-history]

I am happy to announce that I will be holding the visiting Chair in Media Archaeology at University of Udine in Italy for the academic year 2019-2020. The lovely people of Udine are also the ones organising the renowned Gorizia Film Forum and the Spring school in film and media with topics that often touch on media theory and technical media culture too. At Udine, I will be teaching media archaeology for the International Master in Audiovisual and Cinema Studies (IMACS) cohort. I am excited about planning the syllabus that besides readings from Siegfried Zielinski to Giuliana Bruno, Wanda Strauven to Erkki Huhtamo, Thomas Elsaesser to Shannon Mattern and many others will also engage with the work by artists such as Aura Satz, Kelly Egan, Bill Morrison, Harun Farocki, and others.  We also plan further research collaborations including on the topic of Operational Images, which is the project I am involved in at FAMU in Prague. The timing for the Italian visit is perfect as the translation of my What is Media Archaeology? is coming out with Carocci publisher as Archeologia dei media. As soon as the book is out, we will be planning some book launch talks in Italy. Some of the local work also connects to our Lab Book project that we are currently writing up with Lori Emerson and Darren Wershler: the Gorizia film lab is part of the university setup.  by Jussi Parikka https://ift.tt/eA8V8J September 20, 2019 at 02:38AM
