The analysis of the film's depiction of the Mexico-US border region as a drug war zone is based on the idea that the politics of space has to be found in the dynamic multiplicities of time-space and local-global interfaces. The film establishes time-space interconnections that expose the competing imaginary geographies serving to justify US enduring colonial power relations on the American continent and elsewhere. Since space in the film is mainly experienced by and through a woman agent, these time-space interconnections are problematized by gender relations to construct more abstract ideas on the US government's transformation in a conflict that conflates the war on drugs, terror, and immigration.","PeriodicalId":335072,"journal":{"name":"The Velvet Light Trap","volume":"102 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-02-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132751767","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We asked scholars from a variety of media studies traditions to contribute to a text document that was being updated on Google Drive. The shared document afforded each scholar the opportunity to contribute to the conversation at his or her own convenience, thereby enabling the discussion to develop organically during the ten-week period. The online format was thus our own attempt to experiment with the concept of media dialogues. Our eight panelists were Miranda Banks (Emerson College), Cynthia Baron (Bowling Green State University), James Buhler (University of Texas at Austin), Nina Cartier (Northwestern University), Liz Greene (Liverpool John Moores University), Lori Lopez (University of Wisconsin–Madison), Miguel Mera (City, University of London), and Jacob Smith (Northwestern University).

In this article, I reveal what is at stake in Mubi's recent evolution to a more highly curated \"film-a-day\" model, as well as the closure of the Mubi Social forum. These changes resulted in a move away from the site's reliance on democratic interaction among site users and toward a new logic of artistic patronage. Ultimately, in this analysis of Mubi's evolution, I examine the unique way that platform politics play out for boutique streamers and their impact on online cinephilia.","PeriodicalId":335072,"journal":{"name":"The Velvet Light Trap","volume":"98 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115770866","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The game’s interface is so heavily pixelated it is difficult to make out the shape of a familiar home in the jagged pixels of the screen. Curtain questions the ability of narrative and visual representation to convey queer experience and queer space. This article examines how Curtain centralizes experiences and affects that exist at the periphery in mainstream games: the experience of being structurally disempowered, unsafe, and unable to move freely or make choices that matter. Using mechanics like repetition and multiplicity, Curtain produces the queer orientations and phenomenologies that make up a queer subject’s relationship to space and time.","PeriodicalId":335072,"journal":{"name":"The Velvet Light Trap","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124887454","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article considers how these managerial sports games, in simulating administrative work rather than action, turn white-collar work into entertainment and, in the process, collapse the dichotomy between work and play. While this blurring of work and play carries with it the troubling possibility of naturalizing neoliberal logic, as in the figuring of athletes as resources to be optimized, this article argues that this blurring also invites players to reflect on the conditions of their labor, potentially fostering both pleasure and critique.","PeriodicalId":335072,"journal":{"name":"The Velvet Light Trap","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124709655","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The game establishes a complex relationship between technology, developer, the performance-captured body, gender, and the player to form a nexus of interlocking influences of control that players are both made aware of and asked to interact with via the act of play. These ideas of control are developed both in the game’s mechanics and in its narrative, causing the player to self-reflexively become an active participant in the game’s discourse.","PeriodicalId":335072,"journal":{"name":"The Velvet Light Trap","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130211847","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article focuses on instances of this where the child in question is female and looks at how she is being used as motivation/reward incentive for the father figure. Considering video games’ historic use of damsel-in-distress characters, the shift to adolescent girls who fulfill the role of daughter rather than love interest is significant. This trend elucidates a very specific type of masculinity, which the author designates “essential paternal masculinity.”","PeriodicalId":335072,"journal":{"name":"The Velvet Light Trap","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114983635","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

More narrowly, complicating figures of an auteur showrunner, it traces recent renegotiations in which studios have asserted increasing creative control, economic control, and control over writer-producers' careers.","PeriodicalId":335072,"journal":{"name":"The Velvet Light Trap","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127944099","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
