Brian Clark on Transmedia Business Models (Part Five) | Transmedia: Storytelling for the Digital Age | Scoop.it

[Parts one thru four are @scoopit http://bit.ly/stpVJy http://bit.ly/tovSSJ and http://bit.ly/ucI23n http://bit.ly/sIp0th respectively.

Telling Stories: Lina Srivastava Talks About Transmedia Activism (Part One) | Transmedia: Storytelling for the Digital Age | Scoop.it
The Digital Rocking Chair's insight:


Henry Jenkins:  "As my student Geoff Long likes to say, transmedia is an adjective, not a noun, and as such, it needs something to modify. Much of the conversation here has centered around transmedia entertainment, transmedia storytelling, or perhaps transmedia branding and transmedia learning. But, when the word transmedia modifies activism or mobilization, there is no more important voice in the world today than Lina Srivastava. In her hands, transmedia becomes a verb — something we do to make a difference in the world."

DRC:  If you've been following this series of articles on Henry Jenkins' blog, then you might also want to read Andrea Phillips' thoughts on the subject over at Deus Ex Machinatio.


Andrea Phillips: "I've been mulling over Geoffrey Long's series about transmedia criticism, How to Ride a Lion. I feel like it deserves some thoughtful response, but it's been hard for me to formulate anything that isn't self-aggrandizing (Geoffrey is very flattering toward me indeed) or a sort of nodding-my-head-along that is so empty of content I might as well not say anything at all."
