Media-Events

Hello boys and girls and whatever you call yourselves.

Remember the text about media-events that I told you about in Belgrade and that I was so eager to add as another inspiration to our discussion?
Well, I finally managed to transform the written Text into bits and bytes and here it is. The original text was about 150 pages, so I tried to extract just the spots which I thought might be most interesting for our work. Still 38 pages strong, but feel free to just skim through the parts that you are bored of. I really encourage you though to force yourselves through the first 8 pages, to get at least a very raw idea of what a media-event might be. Even though I hope some of you manage to read the whole text (and maybe even enjoy it at some points), I strongly recommend to carefully read the pages from 26 ("The Model of Contagion") onwards, since it shows a very strong link to our liminality-question.

Take your time with the text. No Pressure, no deadlines. Just highly recommended inspirational stuff.
