Topic: Mediatization


In the News (Thu 4 Dec 08)

  
 [No title]
Mediatization is, in fact, a phenomenon that is common to the political systems of almost all democratic countries, where it has taken different shapes and developed at different speeds.
In the third age of multichannel communication, the mediatization of the political sphere has accelerated to the point that the subordination of the media system to the political system in the first age seems to have changed into the acquisition by the media of great power in the public sphere and the political arena.
Mediatized politics is politics that has lost its autonomy, has become dependent in its central functions on mass media, and is continuously shaped by interactions with mass media.

This was first done on a large scale in 1803, when by a recess of the imperial diet many of the smaller fiefs were mediatized, in order to compensate those German princes who had been forced to cede their territories on the left bank of the Rhine to France.
In 1806 the formation of the Confederation of the Rhine involved an extension of this mediatizing process, though the abolition of the empire itself deprived the word "mediatization" of its essential meaning.
After the downfall of Napoleon the powers were besieged with petitions from the mediatized princes for the restoration of their "liberties"; but the congress of Vienna (1815) further extended the process of mediatization by deciding that certain houses hitherto immediate (i.e.

The relationship between the circus and mediatization is a more complex paradox since the circus, at one time, held some influence over the theatrical tradition.
Auslander is correct in concluding that the current relationship between the live and the mediatized is an interesting study of role reversal.
Janet Davis, affiliated with the University of Texas at Austin also makes a similar claim that acrobats and contortionists “play with the boundary between the real and the fake” but she goes one step further be including the analogy of the tenuous boundary between the animal and the human”(Davis).

 Scott Lash: Intensive Media - Modernity and Algorithm (Draft) | Roundtable: Research Architecture
Mediatization we will see has to do with reflexivity, which is not a post-modern irrationality, but the form that reason takes in the second modernity.
Thus mediatization in the second modernity or post-modernity is not anti-rule, or anarchistic, it just operated with different kinds of rules.
The social imaginary of the consumer is thus at stake in the mediatization of the commodity.

Mediatization is the general process by which the transmission of symbolic forms becomes increasingly mediated by the technical and institutional apparatus of the media industries (Thompson, Baudrillard).
A basic assumption of mediatization is that the technological, semiotic and economic characteristics of mass media result in problematic dependencies, constraints and exaggerations.
Definitions of mediatization all are based on some assumption of annexation and colonization by media, implicating a former state of less mediatized subjection or even unmediated pure freedom and sovereignty.

 Colloquium on Political Communication Research
This talk is based on a recent study that uses a framing approach and a comparative perspective to examine the relationship between “mediatization” and “metacoverage” in election news of three countries: the United States, Germany, and Great Britain.
The amount and types (frames) of metacoverage in news of the 2000 U.S. presidential election, the 2001 British general election, and the 2002 German general election were content analyzed after an assessment of mediatization of the electoral systems of each of those countries.
These results are interpreted via the hybridization thesis, which states that “new” practices (re: metacoverage) in countries with lower levels of mediatization tend to follow patterns that exist in countries with high levels of mediatization.

Mediatization is then the general process of the increasing dominance by the technical and institutional apparatus of the media industries, as it is infiltrating more and more the public sphere of representation, ideology and truth.
In this sense the contemporary use of the term 'mediatization' echoes the historically older meaning of the term, stemming from 19th century Germany: the annexation of one monarchy by another in such a way that the ruler of the annexed state keeps his or her noble title, and sometimes a measure of power.
However vague the definitions of mediatization, they are all are based on an assumption of annexation and colonization by media, implicating a former state of non-mediatized subjection, or even unmediated pure freedom and sovereignty.

 German Mediatisation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The German Mediatisation was the series of mediatisations and secularisations that occurred in Germany in 1795–1814, during the latter part of the era of the French Revolution and then the Napoleonic Era.
Mediatisation was the process of annexing the lands of one sovereign monarchy to another, often leaving the annexed some rights.
The later mediatisations were: Arenberg (annexed to France in 1810, and not re-established in 1814); Isenburg and Leyen (mediatised in 1814 by the Congress of Vienna for being too close to Napoleon); Salm (several states of Salm survived to 1811 and 1813); and Stollberg (annexed by Prussia in 1815).

 Enculturation: David Beard and Joshua Gunn
Mediatization, as Virilio takes the term, is not only a characteristic of tyrants.
Democracy, then, also depends on mediatization, or on the ascension to power of one group or individual, by virtue of the stripping away of another’s immediate rights.
By perpetuating this division, by dividing those in power from those who have been "mediatized" and so stripped of their rights, the media "are able to control the social chaos of American panhumanity; they are the guarantors of a certain civic cohesion, and thus of civil security itself" (Speed 108).

During the evening of the troupe’s recent performance at Green Hall Theater in Sagami Ono (Kanagawa, Japan), the audience, comprised mainly of adults, was captivated by the acrobatic spectacle and continued to respond throughout the show with “oohs” and “ahs” and ongoing applause.
The development of technology as well as the rise in television are two extremely important factors that caused major changes in the circus, according to Robert Sweet and Robert Habenstein in Some Perspectives on the Circus in Transition.
While the mediatization of the circus is very evident in circus culture, it is of the utmost importance to also preserve a tradition that represents a link to the past.

Mediatization is the art of easing mediation by resorting to a medium, and or producing information and knowledge.
Mediatization covers both the means of communication (speech, gesture, cinema..) and the communication process which helps mediation.
It involves choosing a medium, that is to say using the technology best adapted to the aim and context of the operation (poster, leaflet, slides, gestures, photography, data processing, theatre..).

 Liveness   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
In present-day mediatized American culture, live performance and mass media are rivals on the scale of David and Goliath.
Anticipating the argument that the incursion of technology into live performance is true of large-scale events (Broadway musicals, sports events, and rock concerts with huge simulcasts) but not necessarily of all theatre, Auslander focuses on “media epistemology” influencing everything from audience expectation of what is “realistic” in acting to character construction in solo performance pieces.
He also points out that the uses of live and mediatized forms are determined by cultural economy, not by intrinsic differences.

In light of these "practical" collusions of the mediatized and the live, developing a theory of liveness, mediatization, and performance that allows for peaceful co-existence seems essential.
Rather than place mediatization and mediatized performance in an antagonistic relationship with liveness and live performance, I propose that liveness has always referred to something more than the presence of human bodies and offer the tradition of object performance as an example of the potential coexistence of the live and the mediatized.
While Kleist writes only of puppet performance, mediatized performance of all sorts invokes this "path of the dancer's soul" which is, in part, the liveness of performance.

For the purposes of this exam, to mediatize is to use photographic or electronic technology to gain a wider audience for (a processed version of) the performance, and may be initiated by the performers themselves, scholars, media professionals, outside artists, members of development or government agencies, and others, often in collaboration.
Mediatization is largely about representation, and “The world of representation...is a site of struggle, where identities are created, where subjects are interpolated, and where hegemonies can be challenged” (Kondo 1997, p.

Mazzoleni and Schulz (1999: 249) argue that “mediatization is, in fact, a phenomenon...common to the political systems of almost all democratic countries, where it has taken different shapes and developed at different speeds.” This assertion will be empirically tested in this project.

However, this idea of overlap between the perceptual agency of the viewer, and the qualities of the image source is also useful in considering the emergence of “performativity” in mediatized geographies.
In the case of photography, early aspirations for objectivity have “ceded ground to a growing awareness of the observer’s irreducible implication in the scene observed” (McQuire, 1998 p.134).
However, being aware of its presence remains useful in terms of imagining an environment or terrain for performance that is not based on a tired hierarchy in which mediatization is criticised for petrifying liveness.

Project 10 investigates the consequences of the mediatization of political communication for institutional procedures of the democratic process; drawing on the “new institutionalist” definition of political institutions.
The increased complexity of societal problems, the demands of those affected by policy to be included in the decision-making process, and the veto power of certain political actors has led many to consider negotiation democracy more effective than traditional policy-making approaches, and it has become practically indispensable for political-administrative problem solving.
Mediatization of political processes thus undermines the output legitimacy of politics in general and of the institutions of negotiation democracy in particular.

In consequence of the wars of the revolution and the empire, a great number of immediate principalities, counties and baronies of Germany, that is to say, such as had no other suzerain than the emperor under whose immediate authority they were, were subordinated to princes formerly their equals; this has been termed mediatization.

Several decisions of the federal diet have recognized for the princes the title of durchlaucht, (serene highness), and to the counts that of erlaucht, (excellency).

Virilio’s evocation of the “reality effect” also points to a means of securing a critical vantage-point from which our complicity in our mediatization might be seen; we are allowed the possibility, briefly, of gating the surge of visual information and reasserting our privilege as agents in our own viewing lives.

Jonathan reminds us temporarily that something true exists beyond the mediatized confines of what we watch; action on Buffy is not so much staking and kung fu as it is critical thinking, using what we see and hear to resist the seductive vampirism, the life-draining mediatization, of how we look on, overlooked.

This relation can be stated in three modes: delegation, substitution and mediatization.
Delegation consists in entrusting tasks with a weak-decision-making level which are generally repetitive or tedious to the IS; then reliability is expected.
Finally, mediatization uses the system as a support for collective interaction, in order to use the synergy between an individual or a community and the IS, for tasks with higher decision-making level, which cannot be entirely automated.

 Erickson on Auslander
I would simply call Plato's idea of acting "mediation," and "mediatization," is only a further extreme of it, which in certain ways realizes the nature of his fears.
Rock "authenticity," of which Auslander's analysis within a mediatized culture is superb, in fact conflates liveness, realness and authenticity in the person of the musician that ignores such a possible distinction between "real" and "true" which is common to the history of literature, art and theater.
What appears to be the case of the live imitating the mediatized to the point where there is almost no distinction between them, is really a question of flipping back and forth, because while "liveness" depends on mediatization, mediatization depends upon a sense of liveness as well.
