Digital Death - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Digital Death - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

This fascinating work explores the meaning of death in the digital age, showing readers the new ways digital technology allows humans to approach, prepare for, and handle their ultimate destiny.With DeadSocial™ one can create messages to be published to social networks after death. Facebook''s "If I Die" enables users to create a video or text message for posthumous publication. Twitter _LIVESON accounts will keep tweeting even after the user is gone. There is no doubt that the digital age has radically changed options related to death, dying, grieving, and remembering, allowing people to say goodbye in their own time and their own unique way. Drawing from a range of academic perspectives, this book is the only serious study to focus on the ways in which death, dying, and memorialization appear in and are influenced by digital technology. The work investigates phenomena, devices, and audiences as they affect mortality, remembrances, grieving, posthumous existence, and afterlife experience. It examines the markets to which the providers of such services are responding, and it analyzes the degree to which digital media is changing views and expectations related to death. Ultimately, the contributors seek to answer an even more important question: how digital existences affect both real-world perceptions of life''s end and the way in which lives are actually lived.

Critical Theory and the Digital - Dr. David M. Berry - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Critical Theory and the Digital - Dr. David M. Berry - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

This Critical Theory and Contemporary Society volume offers an original analysis of the role of the digital in today''s society. It rearticulates critical theory by engaging it with the challenges of the digital revolution to show how the digital is changing the ways in which we lead our politics, societies, economies, media, and even private lives. In particular, the work examines how the enlightenment values embedded within the culture and materiality of digital technology can be used to explain the changes that are occurring across society.Critical Theory and the Digital draws from the critical concepts developed by critical theorists to demonstrate how the digital needs to be understood within a dialectic of potentially democratizing and totalizing technical power. By relating critical theory to aspects of a code-based digital world and the political economy that it leads to, the book introduces the importance of the digital code in the contemporary world to researchers in the field of politics, sociology, globalization and media studies.

Digital Media - Stacey O'neal Irwin - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Digital Media - Stacey O'neal Irwin - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Digital Media: Human-Technology Connection examines what it is like to be alive in today’s technologically textured world and showcases specific digital media technologies that makes this kind of world possible. So much of human experience occurs through digital media that it is time to pause and consider the process and proliferation of digital consumption and humanity’s role in it through an interdisciplinary array of sources from philosophy, media studies, film studies, media ecology and philosophy of technology. When placed in the interpretive lens of artifact, instrument, and tool, digital media can be studied in a uniquely different way, as a kind of technology that pushes the boundaries on production, distribution and communication and alters the way humans and technology connect with each other and the world. The book is divided into two sections to provide overarching definitions and case study specifics. Section one, Raw Materials, examines pertinent concepts like digital media, philosophy of technology, phenomenology and postphenomenology by author Stacey O Irwin. In Section Two, Feeling the Weave, Irwin uses conversations with digital media users and other written materials along with the postphenomenological framework to explore nine empirical cases that focus on deep analysis of screens, sound, photo manipulation, data-mining, aggregate news and self-tracking. Postphenomenological concepts like multistability, variational theory, microperception, macroperception, embodiment, technological mediation, and culture figure prominently in the investigation. The aim of the book is to recognize that digital media technologies and the content it creates and proliferates are not neutral. They texture the world in multiple and varied ways that transform human abilities, augment experience and pattern the world in significant and comprehensive ways.

The Digital Imaginary - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

This book is available as open access through the Bloomsbury Open Access programme and is available on www.bloomsburycollections.com.

Through interviews, commentaries and meta-commentaries, this book brings fresh insight into the creative process from differing, disciplinary perspectives, provoking questions for makers and readers about meaning, interpretation and utterance. The Digital Imaginary will be an indispensable volume for anyone seeking to understand the impact of digital technology on contemporary culture, including storymakers, educators, curators, critics, readers and artists, alike.

Book Presence in a Digital Age - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Book Presence in a Digital Age - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Contrary to the apocalyptic pronouncements of paper media''s imminent demise in the digital age, there has been a veritable surge of creative reimaginings of books as bearers of the literary. From typographic experiments (Mark Z. Danielewski’s House of Leaves , Steven Hall’s The Raw Shark Texts ) to accordion books (Anne Carson’s Nox ), from cut ups (Jonathan Safran Foer’s Tree of Codes ) to collages (Graham Rawle’s Woman’s World ), from erasures (Mary Ruefle’s A Little White Shadow ) to mixups (Simon Morris’s The Interpretations of Dreams ), print literature has gone through anything but a slow, inevitable death. In fact, it has re-invented itself materially.Starting from this idea of media plurality, Book Presence in a Digital Age explores the resilience of print literatures, book art, and zines in the late age of print from a contemporary perspective, while incorporating longer-term views on media archeology and media change. Even as it focuses on the materiality of books and literary writing in the present, Book Presence also takes into consideration earlier 20th-century "moments" of media transition, developing the concepts of presence and materiality as analytical tools to perform literary criticism in a digital age. Bringing together leading scholars, artists, and publishers, Book Presence in a Digital Age offers a variety of perspectives on the past, present, and future of the book as medium, the complex relationship of materiality to virtuality, and of the analog to the digital.

Digital Worldbuilding and Ecological Readiness - Cynthia Porter Rosenfeld - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Digital Worldbuilding and Ecological Readiness - Cynthia Porter Rosenfeld - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

This book addresses how people in digital communities during the Anthropocene can become ecologically ready participants who are willing to build a flourishing relationship with the environment through a lens of community and care. The community-care paradigm is theorized as a way of understanding and living in the more-than-human world that is based on a relational ontology, situated knowledges, and ethics of care that takes individuals-in-communities as its basic unit of consideration. The author draws together disparate lines of inquiry—including ancient and contemporary rhetoric, media studies, ethical philosophy, and animal studies—to highlight how the digital discourses occurring in the Anthropocene can help illuminate the partial, processual, active, and rhetorical nature of flourishment of our bodies, our selves, and our environment. Each chapter of the book contributes to theorizing and illuminating how digital rhetorics can provide individuals with ecological readiness, the ability to craft more-than-human worlds of contingent wellbeing, and vulnerable flourishment

Fault Lines of Modernity - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Fault Lines of Modernity - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

This state of the art collection offers fresh perspectives on why intersections between literature, religion, and ethics can address the fault lines of modernity and are not necessarily the cause of modernity’s ‘faults.’ From a diverse cohort of scholars from around the world, with appointments in comparative literature and other disciplines, the essays suggest that the imagined hegemony of a Judeo-Christian Western project is neither exclusively true nor productive. However, the essays also suggest that elements of the Western religious traditions are important vectors for understanding modernity’s complicated relationship to the past.

Digital Influence Warfare in the Age of Social Media - James J. F. Forest - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Digital Influence Warfare in the Age of Social Media - James J. F. Forest - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Spotlights how various entities are using the Internet to shape people''s perceptions and decision-making, and describes detailed case studies as well as the tools and methods used to identify automated, fake accounts. This book brings together three important dimensions of our everyday lives. First is digital—the online ecosystem of information providers and tools, from websites, blogs, discussion forums, and targeted email campaigns to social media, video streaming, and virtual reality. Second, influence—the most effective ways people can be persuaded, in order to shape their beliefs in ways that lead them to embrace one set of beliefs and reject others. And finally, warfare—wars won by the information and disinformation providers who are able to influence behavior in ways they find beneficial to their political, social, and other goals.The book provides a wide range of specific examples that illustrate the ways people are being targeted by digital influencers. There is much more to digital influence warfare than terrorist propaganda, "fake news," or Russian efforts to manipulate elections: chapters examine post-truth narratives, fabricated "alternate facts," and brainwashing and disinformation within the context of various political, scientific, security, and societal debates. The final chapters examine how new technical tools, critical thinking, and resilience can help thwart digital influence warfare efforts.

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

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

With the rising popularity of online music, the nature of the music industry and the role of the Internet are rapidly changing. 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. It''s akin to putting a coin into a diner jukebox—except the jukebox is in the sky, or, more accurately, out in cyberspace. But has increasing copyright protection gone too far in keeping the music from the masses? Digital Music Wars explores these transformations and the far-reaching implications of downloading music in an in-depth and insightful way. Focusing on recent legal, corporate, and technological developments, the authors show how the online music industry will establish the model for digital distribution, cultural access, and consumer privacy. Music lovers and savvy online shoppers will want to read this book, as will students and researchers interested in new media and the future of online culture.

Educating the First Digital Generation - Paul G. Harwood - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Educating the First Digital Generation - Paul G. Harwood - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Asal and Harwood explore how today''s information technology is changing how we educate and are educated. Focusing on the United States, with useful insights from the classroom digital revolution in a few other key places (the United Kingdom, Australia, and India), the authors investigate the impact of today''s technologies on education — how they impact teachers and teaching, children and learning, and the intersection of teaching and learning. For example, they tell us what the educational impact of having over 60% of America online is. The authors explain exactly how new technologies are changing the learning environment in and out of the classroom with a focus on the effects on K-12 education. Chapters include vignettes about children who are integrating information technologies into their lives at school and at home and those children who for a variety of reasons, most notably, socio-economic, have found themselves excluded as full members of the first digital generation. There are also accounts from K-12 teachers who are incorporating technology into their classroom environments. Using closed-circuit cameras, electronic cheating, and distance learning are all also discussed at length.

The Digital Logic of Death - Dr Steven Pustay - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

The Digital Logic of Death - Dr Steven Pustay - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

In the open access book, The Digital Logic of Death , Steven Pustay skillfully makes visible the immensely important but often overlooked role that moving images play in shaping our understanding of mortality. This relationship, he argues, is made all the more urgent by the technologies of the digital age, which have profoundly altered our ability to represent and contemplate death through moving images, resulting in an entirely new cultural logic of death.To draw out this new logic, Pustay presents accessible readings of otherwise dense and difficult philosophical approaches to death – such as those found in existentialism, psychoanalysis, and critical theory – by reading them through the lens of contemporary media. From art-house films like Irréversible and The Fountain to blockbusters like the Matrix trilogy, from television commercials for M&M’s to pay-cable dramas like The Sopranos and Breaking Bad , from first-person shooters like Bioshock to indie-games like LIMBO , Pustay shows how moving images have shifted our understanding of death in general and our recognition of our own finiteness in particular. The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 3.0 licence on www.bloomsburycollections.com . Open access was funded by Knowledge Unlatched.

Digital Game Culture in Korea - Florence M. Chee - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Digital Game Culture in Korea - Florence M. Chee - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Digital Game Culture in Korea: The Social at Play is a critical ethnographic investigation of media discourses surrounding online game addiction and the sociocultural roles fulfilled by games in everyday life. Florence M. Chee argues that the casting of online games as singularly problematic or addictive largely ignores the socially generative and, at times, pivotally important means of connection among games, players, and the communities they foster. Through focusing on Korea’s sociohistorical and technocultural context, this work celebrates and recognizes the foundational role of Korean game culture in shaping global games and play. Scholars of game studies, communication, and technoculture will find this book of particular interest.
