"The article presents an in-depth analysis of Benjamin’s use of the German term Medium, in order to show how his entire media theory may be interpreted as centered on the interaction between the historically changing realm of the technical and material Apparate, and what he calls in the artwork essay the »Medium of perception«: the spatially extended environment, the atmosphere, the milieu, the Umwelt in which sensory experience occurs. This notion of »Medium of perception« is then located within the long, post-Aristotelian tradition of the media diaphana, whose traces can be found in the 1920s and 1930s in the writings of authors such as Béla Balázs, Fritz Heider, and László Moholy-Nagy. </br></br>Der Artikel präsentiert eine eingehende Analyse von Benjamins Gebrauch des deutschen Begriffs »Medium«, um zu zeigen, dass seine gesamte Medientheorie fokussiert ist auf die Interaktion zwischen dem historisch veränderlichen Bereich der technischen und materiellen Apparate einerseits und dem, was er in dem Kunstwerkaufsatz das »Medium der Wahrnehmung« nennt: die räumlich ausgedehnte Umgebung, die Atmosphäre, das Milieu, die Umwelt, in der sinnliche Wahrnehmung erfolgt. Dieser Begriff des »Mediums der Wahrnehmung« wird dann innerhalb der langen, nacharistotelischen Tradition der media diaphana verortet, deren Spuren in den 1920er und 1930er Jahren in den Schriften von Autoren wie Béla Balázs, Fritz Heider und László Moholy-Nagy zu finden sind."

Informal Approach

Media Relations merupakan salah satu kegiatan seorang Humas dalam menciptakan dan menjaga hubungan baik dengan media. Kegiatan ini sangat diperlukan untuk mempermudah dalam mempublikasikan informasi kepada masyarakat luas. Upaya yang ditempuh PEMDA Purwakarta yaitu dengan menggunakan pendekatan informal. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui bagaimana proses media relations dilihat dari konsep proses media relations yang terdiri dari perencanaan, implementasi dan evaluasi (Iriantara:2011). Penelitian ini menggunakan paradigma konstruktivime, Pendekatan kualitatif dan metode studi kasus. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa perencanaan media relations dilakukan dengan beberpa cara yaitu memetakan program dinas, membentuk hubungan personal, mengelola relasi, memberikan pelayanan kepada media, memberikan fasilitas kepada media, melakukan proses koordinasi berita, mengadakan pelatihan jurnalistik, dan melakukan kegiatan media relations. Implementasi dilakukan menggunakan komunikasi persuasif, koordinasi dengan pihak terkait, pengelolaan konten dan mengacu pada peraturan yang telah disepakati. Evaluasi dilakukan dengan cara briefing internal, meminta klarifikasi terhadap kesalahan yang dilakukan media, bekerjasama membuat tim media monitoring, dan mengupdate database media. Proses media relations guna menunjang keberhasilan dalam pencapaian publikasi melalui pendekatan informal ini dirasa efektif karena hasil dari proses media relations sesuai dengan apa yang diharapkan Pemda Purwakarta, namun kurang efisien karena memerlukan waktu yang tidak bisa ditentukan. Media Relations is one of the activities of a PR in creating and maintaining good relations with the media. This activity is very necessary to make it easier to publish information to the wider community. The efforts taken by the Purwakarta Regional Government are using an informal approach. This study aims to find out how the media relations process with the selection of the concept of media relations process consisting of planning, implementation and evaluation (Iriantara: 2011). This concept was chosen because it can construct reality in accordance with the interpretation of media relations activities carried out by the Purwakarta Regional Government. This study uses constructivism paradigm, qualitative approaches and case study methods. Data collection techniques used are passive participatory observation, in-depth interviews and documentation. The results showed that media relations planning was carried out through eight activities, namely, mapping service programs, forming personal relationships, managing relationships, providing services to the media, providing media facilities, conducting news coordination processes, conducting journalistic training, and conducting media relations activities such as personal contact or press calls, press releases, press conferences, press interviews, press gatherings, media facilitators, media visits, and entertainment media. Implementation is carried out using persuasive communication, coordination with related parties, content management and referring to agreed rules. Evaluation as the final stage of the media relations process was carried out based on four activities namely internal briefings, asking for clarification of errors made by the media, collaborating to make media teams monetize, and updating media databases. The media relations process to support success in achieving publications through this informal approach is felt to be effective because the results of the media relations process are in accordance with what the Purwakarta government hopes, but it is less efficient because it requires an indefinite amount of time.

This article addresses cultural techniques of cognitive capitalism. The author argues that to understand the full implications of the notion of cognitive capitalism we need to address the media and cultural techniques which conditions its range and applications. The article offers an expanded understanding of the labour of code and programming through a case study of 'metaprogramming', a software related organisation practice that offered a way to think of software creativity and programming in organisations. The ideas from the 1970s that are discussed offer a different way to approach creativity and collaborative and post-Fordist capitalism. The author brings together different theoretical perspectives, including German media theory and Yann Moulier Boutang’s thesis about cognitive capitalism. The wider argument is that we should pay more attention to the media archaeological conditions of practices of labour and value appropriation of contemporary technological capitalism as well as the cultural techniques which include 'ontological and aesthetic operations' that produce cultural, material situations.

Literary Experience

Abstract This article begins with an analysis of the semantic, tropological, and metaphysical associations of our modern concept of “experience,” which distinguish its form and contents from other opposing concepts. These not only include such general notions as Reason, Education, and Science, they also point to how “experience” has been thought, and lived, in opposition to the verbal and representational media of texts, printed books, and writing in general. Deconstruction (Derrida) and media theory (McLuhan) provide us with ways of understanding how the emergence of our concept of “experience” relied on, as much as it opposed, the media of writing and books, and their surrounding practices and institutions (like reading and schooling). “Experience” per se is perhaps unthinkable without such media and their institutionalized practices. More than modern theory, however, it is one of the major functions of modern literature to display this relation of conflict and dependence, and, even, to embody it in its very form in literary writing. Beyond the opposition of writing and “experience” is thus posed the question of the nature of the equivocal concept of “literary experience.” What would such a thing entail? This article explores this concept through two texts that attempt to bring “experience” into their very form: Montaigne’s Essays and Sartre’s Nausea.

In commemorating Stuart Hall, I wish to pay particular attention to the importance of his work for understanding one of the great topics of contemporary culture— media.There is a long discussion to be had of Stuart Hall’s making and use of media, in various forms, from his early days of political activism, to television and film productions, videos and interviews. But his contribution to how we think about the media, to media theory and cultural theory of media, remains especially rich. What Hall has to teach us, and provoke us with, concerning media, is centrally about power
