This volume showcases innovative research on dialectal, vernacular, and other forms of "e;oral,"e; speech-like writing in digital spaces. The shift from a predominantly print culture to a digital culture is shaping people's identities and relationships to one another in important ways. Using examples from distinct international contexts and language varieties (kiAmu, Lebanese, Ettounsi, Shanghai Wu, Welsh English, and varieties of American English) the authors examine how people use unexpected codes, scripts, and spellings to say something about who they are or aspire to be. This book will be of particular interest to students and scholars interested in the impact of social media on language use, style, and orthography, as well as those with a broader interest in literacy, communication, language contact, and language change.

This book constitutes the first monograph dedicated to an academic analysis of David Bowie's appearances in film. Through close textual analysis together with production and reception histories, Bowie's 'silver screen' career is explored in full. The book covers performance documentaries such as Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, star vehicles ranging from the eulogised The Man Who Fell to Earth to the excoriated Just a Gigolo, plus roles from the horror chic of The Hunger and cult fantasy of Labyrinth to the valiant high-brow Baal and vainglorious high-budget Absolute Beginners, ending with Bowie as Bowie in Bandslam and others as 'Bowie' in Velvet Goldmine and Stardust. Alongside showing his willingness to experiment (and at times fail) across a variety of genres, this study investigates Bowie's performative style that, while struggling to accommodate the requirements of cinematic realism, fits more harmoniously with alternative production codes and aesthetics. More broadly, by exploring the commercial, socio-cultural and ideological significance of Bowie on film, the book demonstrates how notions of gender, sexuality and identity formation, plus commodity and cultural capital, function and fluctuate in contemporary society.

Hallyu deals with Danish fans of Korean popular culture. As consumers of Korean popular culture, not least K-pop (Korean pop music), these fans aspire to integrate into the Korean social fabric through career choice; they produce K-pop realities by performing Korean dance, conforming to Korean aesthetics or beauty ideals, thinking through Korean story-worlds and finding viable alternatives to Danish youth sociality. This constitutes an example of how East Asian popular culture is present in the formation of Danish youth culture in the 2010s. Hallyu is the second publication in the four volume series East Asian popular culture in a transnational perspective: A National Museum of Denmark Collection. What happens when Korean pop music & comics and anime, manga, video games & photo booths from Japan flow into Denmark? This series explores issues pertaining to East Asian popular culture in a Danish context and asks what it can contribute to our understanding of cultural flows in an East/West perspective.

Frictions is a collective invitation to embrace the space of difference that both connects and separates techno-scientific discourses from their actual implementations-or even, from their non-implementations. Through a series of case studies focused on cybernetics, systems research, and some of their more contemporary inheritors, this book argues that such a middle space, the topology of frictions, offers significant insights to assess the historical and epistemological relevance of these interconnected fields. Characterized here as cybernetic thinking, this broad area of theoretical and applied projects would conceal, precisely within its frictions, the operational principles of our present.

This book shows through historical data, diagrams and drawings, the design system of an Italian historic center, that of Vicenza, Italy. Vicenza is the result of an urban construction process that has as its model the invention of the Palladian design system. The main argument is how the architectural vision of Andrea Palladio shaped Vincenza to the city it is today. Vicenza is an example of a collective dream, an expression of the best Renaissance artistic culture, a classic example that a city can reform itself through intellectual activity.

In diesem Buch geht es um Informatische Bildung im Sachunterricht. Darüber, dass das Lernen über und das Lernen mit digitalen Medien Teil der allgemeinen Bildung sein muss, besteht seit Anfang der 2010er Jahre weitestgehend ein Konsens in den politischen, gesellschaftlichen und bildungswissenschaftlichen Diskursen. Wie jedoch das Digitale in die Schule kommen kann, wird weiterhin diskutiert. Insbesondere zur informatischen Bildung in der Elementar- und Primarstufe ist noch vieles ungeklärt. Die Frage nach fundierten didaktischen Ansätzen zur informatischen Bildung in der Primarstufe ist daher besonders relevant für den Forschungsdiskurs des Sachunterrichts: Die Lebenswelt der Kinder, die zu ergründen der Sachunterricht zum Ziel hat, wird durch die Digitalisierung stark beeinflusst. Das primäre Anliegen der Autorin ist es, einen konkreten informatikbezogenen Lehrgang (code.org Express Kurs 2021) wissenschaftlich zu evaluieren und hinsichtlich seiner Praxistauglichkeit zu bewerten. Da zur Messung von informatischen Kompetenzen in der Primarstufe noch kein wissenschaftlich fundiertes Instrument verfügbar ist, wurde ein eigener Test entwickelt, der hier mit der Evaluationsstudie beschrieben und diskutiert wird.

Nachrichtenbilder prägen unsere Vorstellung der Wirklichkeit ¿ doch wie entstehen sie? Dieses Buch nimmt die Stärken und Schwächen des globalen Nachrichtenjournalismus unter die Lupe und geht Fragen nach, die in unserer Informationsgesellschaft von entscheidender Bedeutung sind:Warum sehen wir aus manchen Regionen dieser Welt immer dieselben Nachrichtenbilder - und aus anderen gar keine? Wie arbeiten die großen Bildnachrichtenagenturen und wie bestimmen sie so die Bilder in Sendungen wie ¿Tagesschaü und ¿heute-Nachrichten¿? Wie wird in den Redaktionen entschieden, welche Bilder gesendet werden und wie wird geprüft, ob diese auch wirklich authentisch sind?Fragen wie diese beantworten die Autoren vor dem Hintergrund bekannter und weniger bekannter Nachrichtengeschichten. Auf anschauliche und zugleich theoretisch reflektierende Weise vermitteln sie, wie Redaktionen tagtäglich auf Wahrheitssuche gehen und zeigen auf, wie wirtschaftliche und politische Zwänge unser Bild der Welt trüben können.

This book examines subjectivity and neoliberalism in Latin America. The chapters, first published in the journal Subjectivity, cover a range of topics, from work to childcare to violence to university education In the Introduction, Julian Medina Zarate and Flavia Uchoa point out the complex history of the arrival and take-up of neoliberalism across the continent, the deep-seated role of colonial and post-colonial violence, thus the specificity of modes of governance in the complex relationship between the North and the South. The chapter by Antar Martinez Guzman considers the role of neoliberalism in the huge rise in male violence across the country, exploring hyper-violent masculinities in the context of social precarity. Antonio Stecher and Alvaro Soto Roy discuss the transformations in work identities and thus the consequences for subjectivity for workers in three kinds of employment in neoliberal Chile. Fabio d'Oliviera studies phsychologists operating in an increasingly precarised service sector in public assistance programmes in Brazil. Hernan Pulido Martinez explores the role of artefacts in the introduction of discourses and practices related to quality within a university in Colombia. Ana Vergara discusses parent-child relations in the context of neoliberal Chile.

Available Open Access digitally under CC-BY-ND licence This book pulls back the curtain on the link between activism, media and technology in the quiet times of politics when people are not protesting.

Through rich, empirical data from Greece, Spain and Italy, Activists in the Data Stream makes a nuanced contribution to our understanding of activists' daily political engagement in an ever-changing media and political landscape.

"The hidden history of an economic and cultural catastrophe that is threatening our very food supply-the disappearance of the American farmer"--

A rhetorical examination of the rise of populist conservatism

This book argues that there are constant formations of online public spheres in present-day China, prompted by never-ending news. It contends that these publics are chronic, although individually they are usually transient. They are networked, which enables them to go viral in hours, and they may engender unexpected consequences. These features explain why online public spheres survive in China even though censorship and information manipulation are pervasively and strategically maneuvered to guide or manufacture "e;public opinion"e;. The book also proposes that there are deeply entangled structural factors bolstering China's online news-prompted public spheres: the continuous flow of news information, the countless public spaces facilitated by China's digital infrastructure and the rise of rights-conscious netizens. Pushing forward a new way of conceptualizing the idea of public spheres, this book contends clearly that public spheres are most often sparked by chronic news in today's media-saturated societies. Delving into the life cycles of public spheres, it goes beyond static analysis of individual public spheres and instead studies their five qualities, which, except for the networked quality, have never been systematically addressed in scholarship. 

Marie Rodewald untersuchte von 2016 bis 2019 die Social-Media-Inszenierungspraxen der rechtsextremen 'Identitären Bewegung'. Diese Inszenierungen wurden aus vornehmlich zwei Perspektiven analysiert. Erstens liegen der Konzeptionierung der Repräsentationsfiguren Sozialfiguren zugrunde. Diese Perspektive betont die Wechselwirkungen der Repräsentationsfiguren mit ihrer sozialgesellschaftlichen, politischen und medialen Umwelt. Zweitens lieferten die Persona Studies, die die Analyse eines "öffentlichen Ichs" in den Fokus rückt, gewinnbringende Ansätze, um die realen Personen und Mitglieder der 'Identitären Bewegung' von ihren markenbildenden Inszenierungen zu trennen und dem Strategischen in den Inszenierungen eine besondere Bedeutung beizumessen.Rodewald weist nach, wie rechtsextreme Akteurinnen und Akteure ihre Botschaften in den sozialen Medien vermitteln und Geschlecht als Instrument für ihre Propaganda einsetzen. Zahlreiche Illustrationen im Anhang dieser Studie dokumentieren diese zeitgenössischen Inszenierungen.
