“We know enough to be sure that the scientific achievements of the next fifty years will be far greater, more rapid, and more surprising, than those we have already experienced. ...

“Race is a core reality of American experience. Media images on television need to reflect that reality to help people who consume media and who don't have the day-to-day, face-to-face contact with others, or where that contact is minimal, to help them have a greater appreciation of other experiences and how they're all part of the American fabric.” PeopleNeedsHelpingRealityFacesRaceGreaterMediaTelevisionAppreciationCoreContactFabricDay To DayFace To FaceAppreciation Of Others Author:Darnell M.

“To an ever greater extent out experience is governed by pictures, pictures in newspapers and magazines, on television and in the cinema. Next to these pictures firsthand experience begins to retreat, to seem more and more trivial. While it once seemed that pictures had the function of interpreting reality, it now seems they have usurped it. It therefore becomes imperative to understand the picture itself, not in order to uncover a lost reality, but to determine how a picture becomes a signifying structure of its own accord.” RealitySeemsOrderNextLostGreaterTelevisionFunctionStructureDetermineNewspapersMagazinesCinemaRetreatImperativesAccordInterpretingSignifying Author:Douglas Crimp
