Reading: Complexity, Flaux and Webs of Connection

This week’s reading explores the way audiences interpret fragmented information in the form of storytelling.

Changing media literacy’s means that audiences are able to understand shifts in flows of information and develop strategies to deal with gaps.

Frankham says the narrative is in itself a list also, but it exists in within a framework with which we are more familiar. Relations between elements are more closely established.

She believes that because the list is open to interpretation, there is room for a deeper engagement with the text. Frankham says: “The option of being able to choose how to engage with a work often results in a kind of cognitive consumerism where an artwork is reduced to a set of ideas to be mastered.”
