Subject: [Senyum-ITB] Film: Why Reading Matters [Friday, May 17th]

-- 'kali ada yang tertarik --

Jumat ini kita akan screen film yang dulu belum sempat ditonton di Comlab, yaitu film dokumenter BBC: "Why Reading Matters." Film ini berdasarkan hasil dari riset modern dalam neuroscience tentang pengaruh membaca pada struktur otak manusia, yang kemudian dikembangkan dalam bidang baru,therapeutic reading.

Berikut 'blurb' singkat dari film ini:

Science writer Rita Carter tells the story of how modern neuroscience has revealed that reading, something most of us take for granted, unlocks remarkable powers. Carter explains how the classic novel Wuthering Heights allows us to step inside other minds and understand the world from different points of view, and she wonders whether the new digital revolution could threaten the values of classic reading.

Ini boleh dianggap sebagai "acara gabungan" antara group jumatan di Comlab (visual literasi) dan komunitas literasi Ganesha (textual) -- sambil mencari bentuk "merger" yang mengakomodasi keduanya. So, be there ... jangan lupa, Jumat besok jam 3 di Perpustakaan Pusat ITB.

PS: Yang sudah mulai baca "Pride and Prejudice" -- diskusi & film akan cover 10 chapter pertama.

[BBC] Why Reading Matters [Part 1 of 6]

Uploaded on Apr 8, 2009

Uploaders Note: This documentary is good up until her stance on video games, it seems to me an immature and ignorant disregard for it's uses & technological change. It's void of understanding, scientifically unfounded and loaded with bias. If you ignore the irrelevant quackery you'll see that this doc brings up some very interesting science on the effects and importance of reading.
