Hello and welcome to LiliAnna’s Preread Mediathek! In this, our pilot episode, we give a quick overview of who we are and what we’ll be talking about in the coming episodes. Note: We recorded this outside back in June, which is why you get the lovely/slightly distracting summer ambiance, so apologies for that!
Things we mention:
We play a little bit fast and loose with the definition of ‘preread text’ in this episode, so if you want a more concise/ precise definition you can watch Rowan Ellis’ video on preread texts (and Black Sails) here: https://youtu.be/SMFll3aIbmo, or listen to the definition we give in our trailer: https://anchor.fm/liliannasprereadmediathek/episodes/LiliAnnas-Preread-Mediathek-Trailer-e15rf77.
However, we will be talking more generally about audience preconceptions of media anyway.
The adaptation theory that Lili vaguely references in this episode is Julie Sanders’ “What is Adaptation” from Adaptation and Appropriation, specifically her discussion of André Bazin’s “convergence culture”.
Here’s a link to bi’bak, the art space Anna mentions (https://bi-bak.de/)
