Kommunikationsstudier

Der Band setzt sich mit den Krisen und Transformationsherausforderungen unserer Zeit, deren Management und der demokratischen Gestaltung mutiger Zukunftsvisionen auseinander. Ziel ist es, aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven das Verständnis für die anstehenden transformativen Herausforderungen zu schärfen und erste systematische Lösungsansätze zu skizzieren. Die Rahmenbedingungen und Charakteristika des Regierens in der Transformationsgesellschaft werden entlang der drei Transformationscluster Daseinsvorsorge, Demographie, Digitalisierung und dem übergeordneten Cluster Demokratie diskutiert. So richtet sich der Band nicht nur an einen wissenschaftlichen Leser*innenkreis, sondern adressiert auch dezidiert ein interessiertes Publikum außerhalb des wissenschaftlichen Betriebs.

Workshops erfreuen sich in Organisationen anhaltend großer Beliebtheit. In Unternehmen, Verwaltungen, Parteien, Universitäten oder etwa Schulen werden sie regelmäßig genutzt, um drängende Organisationsthemen zu bearbeiten. Trotz der weiten Verbreitung des Workshops ist dieser bislang kaum erforscht. Insbesondere die interaktiven Besonderheiten und Dynamiken des Formats wurden bisher nicht systematisch in den Blick genommen: Welchen Regeln gelten für Wahl von Themen im Workshop? Wie unterscheiden sich die typischen Workshoprollen ¿ Moderatoren, Teilnehmende und Auftraggeber ¿ voneinander? Was passiert in der Zeit vor, nach und während der Veranstaltung? Welche Auswirkungen hat der Raum für die Interaktion? Mithilfe eines interaktionssoziologisches Begriffsrepertoires wird die besondere ,Interaktionsordnung¿des Workshops dargestellt. Die primär theoretischen Überlegungen sind dabei so angelegt, dass sich aus ihnen nützliche Reflexionsfragen für die Praxis all derjenigen, die in Organisationen mit Workshops zu tun haben, ableiten lassen.

This volume provides the basis for contemporary privacy and social media research and informs global as well as local initiatives to address issues related to social media privacy through research, policymaking, and education.Renowned scholars in the fields of communication, psychology, philosophy, informatics, and law look back on the last decade of privacy research and project how the topic will develop in the next decade. The text begins with an overview of key scholarship in online privacy, expands to focus on influential factors shaping privacy perceptions and behaviors - such as culture, gender, and trust - and continues with specific examinations of concerns around vulnerable populations such as children and older adults. It then looks at how privacy is managed and the implications of interacting with artificial intelligence, concluding by discussing feasible solutions to some of the more pressing questions surrounding online privacy.This handbook will be a valuable resource for advanced students, scholars, and policymakers in the fields of communication studies, digital media studies, psychology, and computer science.

This interdisciplinary Handbook provides an in-depth analysis of the complex security phenomenon of disinformation and offers a toolkit to counter such tactics.

This collection focuses on metaphorical as well as temporal and physical border-crossing in writing from and about Japan.With a strong consciousness of gender and socio-historic contexts, contributors to the book adopt an intercultural and interdisciplinary approach to examine the writing of authors whose works break free from the confines of hegemonic Japanese literary endeavour. By demonstrating how the texts analysed step outside the space of 'Japan', they accordingly foreground the volatility of textual expression related to that space. The authors discussed include Takahashi Mutsuo and Nagai Kaf¿, both of whom take literary inspiration from geographical sites outside Japan. Several chapters examine the work of exemplary border-crossing poet, novelist and essayist, It¿ Hiromi. There are discussions of the work of Tawada Y¿ko whose ability to publish in German and Japanese marks her also as a representative writer of border-crossing texts. Two chapters address works by Murakami Haruki who, although clearly affiliating with western cultural form, is rarely discussed in specific border-crossing terms. The chapter on Ainu narratives invokes topics such as translation, indigeneity and myth, while an analysis of Japanese prisoner-of-war narratives notes the language and border-crossing nexus.A vital collection for scholars and students of Japanese literature.

Through vivid and engaging narrative accounts, written and collected by women, Women's Narratives of Health Disruption and Illness: Within and Across Their Life Stories explores how women experience the health disruptions and illnesses that span their lives. The collection examines how women's broader and ongoing life stories impact and are impacted by health disruptions and illnesses. Organized into three parts, the chapters explore "Beginnings" in which health disruptions and illnesses impact early life, motherhood, and where early choices create the origins of health issues that impact later life; "Middles" which explores health experiences in and around middle age, or from the standpoint in middle-age looking back and forth; and "Endings" which explores narratives of ageing and end of life communication. Personal, revealing, and often beautiful, the women's narratives featured in this book will invite the reader into the stories and lives of others, and toward the reflection, learning, and personal transformation that comes from truly connecting with the experiences of others. This book will be helpful for scholars of communication, health, women's studies, family studies, and sociology.

«This fantastic book investigates the proliferation, power and changing nature of online feminist activism. The book critically focuses on the challenges and risks of online feminist activism, as well as the capacity of activist campaigns to achieve real, transformative change. Casey and Watson argue that although feminists should harness the power of hashtag and celebrity feminism, there are tensions, inequalities and power imbalances within feminism which must be navigated.This book is a must-read, especially for activists, academics, victim-survivors and policymakers. It makes an important contribution to contemporary debates about the role of feminist digital activism across three key areas: raising public awareness of gender-based violence, contributing to cultural change, including changing norms, attitudes and behaviours, and shaping understandings of how gender, race, sexuality and other markers of difference intersect to shape experience. The book is a timely reminder that feminist activism is an important piece of the puzzle to preventing gender-based violence.»(Professor Nicola Henry, RMIT University) «Hashtag Feminisms is powerful. It is potent. It is engaging. This book offers momentum and transformation. It provides a pathway to our future, through courage, reflection, kindness and compassion.»(Professor Tara Brabazon, Professor of Cultural Studies (Flinders University) / Professor of Higher Education (Massey University)) Broad-scale feminist consciousness continues to gain ground globally, as witnessed by the Women¿s March, #MeToo, and #EnoughIsEnough in Australia. Aided by hashtag activism and media feminists, feminist campaigns have highlighted the need for change in cultural attitudes to issues such as gender-based violence. This book focuses on feminist campaigning in the Australian context over the last decade, contending the increased velocity of feminist discourse in the Australian mediascape represents a critical opportunity for larger scale, feminist-led mass awareness campaigns. The authors ask: what is it about hashtag activism and celebrity feminisms that may be most useful to (some) Australian feminists, and what are the challenges and potential risks of these forms of activism? Does such activism have substantive political or material effects? Or is this type of activism just echo chamber activism, which does little to address structural inequalities and, if so, might anything be salvaged?

Vor dem Hintergrund des Superwahljahres 2021 wird analysiert, welche neuen Möglichkeiten in der Wahlkampfkommunikation ihre Wirksamkeit entfalten. Im Rahmen einer strategischen Betrachtung wird der Kontext des Bundestagswahlkampfes genutzt, um die Auswirkungen der Digitalisierung auf die Wahlkampfkommunikation zu untersuchen. Welchen Einfluss haben Datenanalysen und Social Media auf den Wahlkampf? Welche Lehren lassen sich aus dem Brexit und der US-Wahl von Donald Trump angesichts eines wachsenden Populismus ziehen?Am Praxisbeispiel des erfolgreichen Wahlkampfes von Hanna Steinmüller werden strategische Möglichkeitsräume der Gegenwart und der Zukunft politischer Kommunikation identifiziert. Dabei wird der Frage nachgegangen, wie eine zuvor unbekannte Kandidatin der Partei ¿Bündnis 90 Die Grünen¿ einen Wahlkreis gewinnen kann, der zuvor 16 Jahre lang in SPD-Hand war. Welchen Einfluss hat Steinmüllers Führungsstil auf den Erfolg und die Agilität der Kampagne? Wie kann eine Wahlkampagne organisiert werden und welche Struktur braucht sie, um in Zeiten digitaler Kommunikation wirksam zu sein?

Am 4. September 2009 ordnete der deutsche Oberst Georg Klein im Rahmen der ISAF-Mission in Afghanistan einen folgenschweren Luftangriff bei Kundus an, der die grundsätzliche Frage nach der Legitimität des Einsatzes militärischer Gewalt in Krisen- und Kriegssituationen aufgeworfen hat. In diesem essential wird untersucht, wie die Legitimität des Luftangriffes medial dargestellt und dabei auch konkurrierende Identitätskonstruktionen deutscher Außenpolitik verhandelt und offenkundig wurden.
