Videographic critics Jason Mittell and Christian Keathley join Amplified on the mic to share their insights into the benefits of engaging with non-traditional forms of scholarship and explain what exactly is videographic criticism? From the halls of Middlebury college in Vermont, the duo are leading voices in the videographic criticism movement, a creative and pedagogical scholarly practice that has led to a series of workshops, an open peer review journal, and a thriving community of practitioners interested in the conceptual use of moving image media as a mode of scholarly rhetoric and exploration.
