Digital Literacy and Digital Inclusion - John Carlo Bertot - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Digital Literacy and Digital Inclusion - John Carlo Bertot - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Digital Literacy and Digital Inclusion: Information Policy and the Public Library examines the interrelationships between digital literacy, digital inclusion, and public policy, emphasizing the impacts of these policy decisions on the ability of individuals and communities to successfully participate in the information society.This book is the first detailed consideration of digital literacy and digital inclusion as policy problems and as core issues in information policy and libraries. The unique features of this book include·drawing together the key themes and findings from the discourse on digital literacy and digital inclusion widely spread among many fields;·analyzing digital literacy and digital inclusion as policy issues, both being driven and regulated by policy;·building on a wealth of original research conducted by the authors using different quantitative and qualitative data collection approaches on four different continents when analyzing these issues, providing unique examples, case studies, and perspectives; ·using information behavior theory to provide important insights about these issues at individual, community, and political levels; ·providing recommendations to inform practice in libraries and help libraries to frame their advocacy for public policies that support literacy and inclusion; and ·providing policy recommendations to improve the creation and implementation of policy instruments that promote digital literacy and digital inclusion. The authors of this book have been involved in this research for many years, and their experience provides a broad view across the literature, inherent problems, and national perspectives. This breadth allows this book to offer comprehensive policy recommendations, solutions, and best practices for an area that is fragmented in discourse, practice, and policy.

Weak Elements, Weak Flesh - Ernest P. Clark - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Weak Elements, Weak Flesh - Ernest P. Clark - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

In Weak Elements, Weak Flesh, Ernest Clark reinvigorates an ancient interpretation overlooked since the fourth century. Clark argues that when Paul writes “we too were enslaved under the elements of the world,” he means that the elements that compose the cosmos also compose and compromise the flesh, allowing sin to enslave human persons through their bodies (Gal 4.3). This book demonstrates that early Jews introduced the phrase στοιχεῖα τοῦ κόσμου to refer to the material elements: earth, water, air, and fire. Greek medicine understood these elements to mediate the bodily stimuli and desires which enslave the soul. In his philosophy according to the cosmic elements, Philo promotes the law of Moses as the effective way to be “redeemed from slavery” to the flesh and to attain righteousness. Paul’s epistle to the Galatians opposes this sort of “redemptive nomism.” Paul accepts that weak elements compose the weak flesh and that they mediate sinful stimuli and desires that lead to the actions of the flesh. However, he denies that the law can make people alive or righteous. Instead, Paul prescribes crucifixion with Christ and new life with the Spirit as the cure for sin’s infection of the flesh made of weak elements.

Materializing Digital Futures - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Materializing Digital Futures - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Digital, visual media are found in most aspects of everyday life, from workplaces to household devices — computer and digital television screens, appliances such as refrigerators and home assistants, and applications for social media and gaming. Each technologically enabled opportunity brings an increasingly sophisticated language with the act of pursuing the int ra sensorial ways of perceiving the world around us — through touch, movement, sound and vision — that is the heart of screen media use and audience engagement with digital artifacts. Drawing on digital media’s currently evolving transformation and transforming capacity this book builds a story of the multiple processes in robotics and AI, virtual reality, creative image and sound production, the representation of data and creative practice. Issues around commodification, identity, identification, and political economy are critically examined for the emerging and affecting encounters and perceptions that are brought to bear.

Regulating Digital Industries - Mark Maccarthy - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Regulating Digital Industries - Mark Maccarthy - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

The Regulation of Digital Industries is the first book to address the tech backlash within a coherent policy framework. It treats competition, privacy and free speech as objectives that must be pursued in a coordinated fashion by a dedicated industry regulator. It contains detailed discussions of current policy controversies involving social media companies, search engines, electronic commerce platforms and mobile apps. It argues for new laws and regulations to promote competition, privacy and free speech in tech and outlines the structure and powers of a regulatory agency able to develop, implement and enforce digital rules for the twenty-first century. Deeply informed by the history of regulation and antitrust in the United States, it brings to bear insights from the breakup of AT&T and the Microsoft case and from broadcasting and financial services regulation to enrich the discussion of remedies to the failure of tech competition, the massive invasion of privacy by digital firms and the information disorder perpetuated by social media platforms. It offers a comprehensive summary of regulatory reform efforts in the United States and abroad and shows how accomplishing the goals of these reform efforts requires the establishment of a single digital agency with jurisdiction to reconcile and balance the complementary and conflicting goals of promoting competition, protecting privacy, and preserving free speech in digital industries. It discusses in detail how a digital regulatory agency would be structured and the powers it would need to have. It confronts head on some of the challenges in establishing a strong digital regulator including the First Amendment roadblock that limits government authority over digital speech and the judicial opposition to the expansion of the administrative state. It is essential reading for policymakers, public interest advocates, industry representatives, academic researchers and the general public interested in a coherent policy approach to today’s tech industry discontents.

The Maternal, Digital Subjectivity, and the Aesthetics of Interruption - El Putnam - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

The Maternal, Digital Subjectivity, and the Aesthetics of Interruption - El Putnam - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Bringing together philosophies of the maternal with digital technology may appear to be an arbitrary pairing. However, reading them intertextually through select creative practices reveals how both encompass an aesthetics of interruption that becomes a novel means of understanding subjectivity.EL Putnam investigates how the digital performances of certain artists, creators, and technologists rupture existing representations of the maternal, taking advantage of the formal properties of digital media. What results are interruptions of visual and aural constructions through an immanent merging of the performing body with digital technologies.Putnam bases her analysis on close examinations of the way certain makers use the formal properties of digital imagery, such as the gap, the glitch, and the lag, as means of rendering images of the maternal uncanny in order to challenge mediation, constituting an aesthetics of interruption. The result is a radical critical strategy for engaging with digital technology and subsequent understandings of the subject that defy current modes of assimilation.

Aesthetics, Digital Studies and Bernard Stiegler - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Aesthetics, Digital Studies and Bernard Stiegler - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Aesthetics, Digital Studies and Bernard Stiegler frames the intertwined relationship between artistic endeavours and scientific fields and their sociopolitical implications. Each chapter is either an explication of, or a critique of, some aspect of Bernard Stiegler’s technological philosophy; as it is his technological-political-aesthetical-ethical theorisations which form the philosophical foundation of the volume.Emerging scholars bring critical new reflections to the subject area, while more established academics, researchers and practitioners outline the mutating nature of aesthetics within historical and theoretical frameworks. Not only is interdisciplinarity a prevailing topic at work within this collection, but so too is there a delineation of the mutating, hybrid role inhabited by the arts practitioner – at once engineer, scientist and artist – in the changing landscape of digital cultural production.

Folklore and Ethnology in the Soviet Western Borderlands - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Folklore and Ethnology in the Soviet Western Borderlands - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Thirteen international scholars assess the profound impact of Soviet-era movements to study, apply, and perform folklore as a priority in socialist policy-formation and culture-building. Representing generations who lived through and after Soviet occupation, they reflect on the consequences of state-supported promotion of folk arts in a region called the Western Borderlands that include Baltic countries, Ukraine, Poland, Slovakia, Belarus, Romania, and Hungary. In their incisive analyses, authors present original archival materials as well as ethnographic data to understand colonialist support for bottom-up folklore movements and resistance to them. Capping the volume is a timely consideration of Soviet orchestration of folkloristic work on present developments in conflicts of Russia with its neighbors and alignments with Western folkloristics and ethnology.

On the Digital Semiosphere - Professor Indrek Ibrus - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

On the Digital Semiosphere - Professor Indrek Ibrus - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

It is only since global media and digital communications became accessible to ordinary populations – with Telstar, jumbo jets, the pc and mobile devices – that humans have been able to experience their own world as planetary in extent. What does it mean to be one species on one planet, rather than a patchwork of scattered, combative and mutually untranslatable cultures? One of the most original and prescient thinkers to tackle cultural globalisation was Juri Lotman (1922-93). On the Digital Semiosphere shows how his general model of the semiosphere provides a unique and compelling key to the dynamics and functions of today’s globalised digital media systems and, in turn, their interactions and impact on planetary systems. Developing their own reworked and updated model of Lotman’s evolutionary and dynamic approach to the semiosphere or cultural universe, the authors offer a unique account of the world-scale mechanisms that shape media, meanings, creativity and change – both productive and destructive. In so doing, they re-examine the relations among the contributing sciences and disciplines that have emerged to explain these phenomena, seeking to close the gap between biosciences and humanities in an integrated ‘cultural science’ approach.

Digital Music Wars - Tom Mccourt - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Rather than buying records, tapes, or CDs_in other words, full-length collections of music_music shoppers can, as they have in earlier decades, purchase just one song at a time.

Citizenship and the Diaspora in the Digital Age - Toyin Falola - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Citizenship and the Diaspora in the Digital Age - Toyin Falola - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

In Citizenship and the Diaspora in the Digital Age: Farooq Kperogi and the Virtual Community , Toyin Falola examines how the members of the Nigerian diaspora create a virtual community and instrumentalize the digital age to speak about the nation and its failures, possibilities, and promises. This book depicts individuals'' relationships with society and how the world''s progressive shift toward technology and globalization does not disregard the concept of society and its members. As a result of this shift, people have been migrating to new places without giving up their citizenship in their home countries. This book explores how migrants are focused on the idea of a virtual community, examines how citizens'' roles have evolved through time, and displays society''s essential principles in this light. Furthermore, it evaluates social commentaries enhanced by the dynamics of the digital age, such as societal issues like education in Nigeria, the question of democracy, challenges facing the country, and the development of a national language. Many of these societal challenges are examined in this book from the perspective of Farooq Kperogi, who has conducted extensive studies and published on the above themes. This is balanced against emerging facts, Nigerians'' positions, and disregarded realities. Kperogi''s relentless writings on Nigeria make him a preeminent figure whose positions are valuable to the understanding of modern Nigeria.

Non-Western Colonization, Orientalism, and the Comfort Women - Ako Inuzuka - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Non-Western Colonization, Orientalism, and the Comfort Women - Ako Inuzuka - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Non-Western Colonization, Orientalism, and the ''Comfort Women: The Collective Memory of Sexual Slavery under the Japanese Imperial Military examines the collective memory of sexual slavery under the Japanese Imperial Military in Japan over the past seventy-five years. Euphemistically known as the "comfort women," tens of thousands of young females were forced into sexual servitude for Japanese soldiers during the Asia-Pacific War. The majority of these women are believed to have been deceitfully or forcibly taken from Korea, a former Japanese colony. The ways in which sexual slavery has been remembered in Japan lies at the root of a long-standing diplomatic conflict between Japan and South Korea and has fueled a "memory war" among Japanese scholars and activists. The author argues that Korean "comfort women" have been exoticized in the collective memory similarly to "Oriental" women''s presentations by Western Orientalists. This book is a comprehensive analysis of the memory of sexual slavery in Japan, examining various artifacts produced since the end of the Asia-Pacific War, including nonfiction books, novels, newspaper articles, popular and documentary films, and a commemorative museum. It provides novel insights into a decade old international and domestic controversy.

Corporate Life in the Digital Music Industry - Dr. Toby Bennett - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Corporate Life in the Digital Music Industry - Dr. Toby Bennett - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Drawing on a deep and long-term first-hand engagement with major labels in the early years of the 21st century, this book sheds new light ‘behind the scenes’, at a time of drastic and far-reaching transformation. Refreshingly, it centres not on artists and the most powerful decision-makers but on everyday experiences of work and back-office corporate employees.Doing so reveals the internal activities and conflicts that, while hidden from public view, enable processes of change: from paperwork, data systems, managerial pressures and redundancies to graduate training schemes, departmental politics and shared playlists, providing a new route into understanding the broader cultures and infrastructures of the global recording industry. This oft-forgotten office work tells a different story of contemporary digital music , one more sensitive to the complex intersections that texture the conduct of work and organizational life.

CineWorlding - Professor Or Dr. Michael B. Macdonald - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Using cine-ethnomusicology as a focus, Cineworlding introduces readers to ways of thinking eco-cinematically. Screens are omnipresent, we carry digital cinema production equipment in our pockets, but this screen-based technological revolution has barely impacted social science scholarship. Mixing existential phenomenological fiction about social science digital cinema research practice followed by theoretical reflection and discussion of methods, this book has emerged from a decade-long inquiry into cineworlding and a desire to help others produce digital media to engage creatively with the digital networks that surround us.

Black Evanescence - Peter Lurie - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Black Evanescence - Peter Lurie - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

From the photographs of Frederick Douglas published with his memoir to the circulation of Twitter hashtags after the murders of Michael Brown and George Floyd, this book argues that African American cultural presence and racial meaning making can be traced along the still-developing arc of visuality. The earliest films of race were notable for their conviction about what the cinematic image and, eventually, the sound film could proffer: an “authentic” account of race and, specifically, Blackness on screen. Against those suasions Black Evanescence posits a vision of, and for, digital technology that sees its intersections with racial imagery very differently.This book argues that digital imagery possesses a salutary evanescence. Produced by a technology that does not purport to the indexical, digital media offers images that convey a greater openness or sense of possibility. A signal implication of this is that the racial imagery or meanings of digital media may be defined as part of a still-unfolding process, one that is part of a history that is transforming. Digital cinema includes a concrete link to its referent—in this context, the Black body. Digital modes allow a less “fixed” rendering of Blackness in the wider (white) understanding of race than we have historically seen or that a range of Hollywood works evince.

EA Sports FIFA - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

If there is anything close to a universal game, it is association football, also known as soccer, football, fussball, fútbol, fitba, and futebol.

From looking at the cultures of fandom to analyzing the technical elements of the sports simulation, and covering the complicated relations that EA’s FIFA has with gender, embodiment, and masculinity, this collection provides a comprehensive understanding of a video game series that is changing the way the most popular sport in the world is experienced. In doing so, the book serves as a reference text for scholars in many disciplines, including game studies, sociology of sports, history of games, and sports research.

Compression Mode - Stephen Kennedy - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Compression Mode - Stephen Kennedy - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

This book examines how compression can be understood not only as a digital process enacted through computing, but as a wider economic and political phenomenon that impacts on the ecology of waste, diversity and social inclusivity. Setting out from the linguistic underpinning of visual space it proceeds to the development of the MP3 algorithm and an examination of the ‘waste’ it creates. As it does so it challenges the received wisdom, prevalent in western thought, that human reason and logic enacted through language is uniquely capable of bringing order to chaos. Returning to the idea of a sonic economy it seeks to reintroduce waste, error, and other discarded material back into our systems of thought, or perhaps more accurately into systems beyond our thought.

Neverending Stories - R. Lyle Skains - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Neverending Stories - R. Lyle Skains - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Winner of the 2023 N. Katherine Hayles Award for Criticism of Electronic LiteratureDigital fiction has long been perceived as an experimental niche of electronic literature. Yet born-digital narratives thrive in mainstream culture, as communities of practice create and share digital fiction, filling in the gaps between the media they are given and the stories they seek. Neverending Stories explores the influences of literature and computing on digital fiction and how the practices and cultures of each have impacted who makes and plays digital fiction. Popular creativity emerges from subordinated groups often excluded from producing cultural resources, accepting the materials of capitalism and inverting them for their own carnivalesque uses. Popular digital fiction goes by many different names: webnovels, adventure games, visual novels, Twitter fiction, webcomics, Twine games, walking sims, alternate reality games, virtual reality films, interactive movies, enhanced books, transmedia universes, and many more. The book establishes digital fiction in a foundation of innovation, tracing its emergence in various guises around the world. It examines Infocom, whose commercial success with interactive fiction crumbled, in no small part, because of its failure to consider women as creators or consumers. It takes note of the brief flourish of commercial book apps and literary games. It connects practices of cognitive and conceptual interactivity, and textual multiplicity—dating to the origins of the print novel—to the feminine. It pushes into the technological future of narrative in immersive and mixed realities. It posits the transmedia franchises and the practices of fanfiction as examples of digital fiction that will continue indefinitely, regardless of academic notice or approval.

Genndy Tartakovsky - Kwasu David Tembo - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Genndy Tartakovsky is widely regarded as a pioneer in contemporary Western animation of the 20th and 21st centuries. His groundbreaking and prolific output, ranging from Dexter''s Laboratory to Samurai Jack and Sym-Bionic Titan, has become a mainstay of contemporary animated programming, and collectively, the cornerstone of both titans of the industry such as Cartoon Network and Adult Swim. This open access book draws attention to the comparatively mysterious figure of this creator, while simultaneously celebrating his singular vision, mastery of formal technique, genre sensitivity, personal stylistic flair, and how these aesthetic and narrative elements combine to produce what the author calls an ''animation of sincerity'' in all his works. The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on www.bloomsburycollections.com.
