Plato's Republic, Four Ways

Keith Gabler, Lauryn Gold, Ruth Kellar, Richard Ness

"For this remix, we applied Kathleen Blake Yancey’s remediation methods to Plato’s The Republic. We wanted to run Plato’s text through several different media in order to explore some of the difficulties that one might encounter while trying to enact Yancey’s methods–particularly when a “difficult” text is remediated through a medium that is generally used for everyday compositions. We wound up using four different media: social media (GChat), 3D media (Play-Doh), live performance (skit), and video recording (commercial)."
