Sample Project: Mr. Collins from Pride and Prejudice

The Scene

See the scene starting at 12:10 in this video from the 1995 production of Pride and Prejudice.

Context for the Video

Mr. Collins is a clergyman attached to Rosing's Park, the manor house of Lady Catherine De Bourgh. By turns prideful and simpering, Mr. Collins cannot stop talking about the beauty of Rosings and the nobility of his patroness, Lady Catherine. Earlier in the nove/film, Mr. Collins was (ridiculously) a suitor to the story's protagonist, Elizabeth Bennett. After she rejected him, a friend of Elizabeth's accepted a proposal of marriage.

Bolter's and Grusin's Remediation

Download, read, mark, and bring to class a hard copy of Chapters 1 and 2 of Jay David Bolter's and Richard Grusin's Remediation.

Read This First

While I am not assigning you Bolter's and Grusin's "Introduction"--which is slow to define remediation as a term--please read the following key passage carefully to give you a context for understanding what these chapters are attempting to do:

We will argue that...new media are doing exactly what their predecessors have done: presenting themselves as refashioned and improved versions of other [older] media. Digital visual media can best be understood through the ways in which they honor, rival, and revise linear-perspective painting, photography, film, television, and print. No median today, and certainly no single media event, seems to do its cultural work in isolation from other media, any more than it works in isolation from other social and economic forces. What is new about new media comes from the particular ways in which they fashion older media and the ways in which older media refashion themselves to answer the challenges of new media (14-15).

Remediation, then, is a process by which one medium repurposes characteristics of another medium: the ways that a web page, for instance, might imitate features of an Old-West Wanted poster or a mid-century newspaper's front page.

Answer these Questions, Print, and Bring Them In

Copy and paste these questions into a text file and type your answer in a paragraph beneath each.

In each answer, quote Bolter and Grusin (with the page number cited parenthetically) at least once.

Print your document and bring it to class.

1. What are "immediacy" and "hypermediacy," and how do they differ from one another?

2. How do "immediacy" and"hypermediacy" relate to "remediation"?

3. Describe what you think is the most interesting and revealing example of remediation from the chapters. What did this example make you understand (or think about) concerning the relationships of various media.

4. What is the role of "reality" or "authenticity" in Bolter's and Grusin's discussion of media?

A Warning about Class Being a Device Free Zone

Do not plan to use a laptop, tablet, or cell phone in class.

Printing these assignments, reading them on paper, and bringing the hard copies to our meetings are absolutely necessary steps to being prepared for class each day.

If you attempt to use a device in class instead of a printed copy, I may or may not cause a scene by asking you to leave, but I will mark you absent for not being prepared.
