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.

Enduring Western Civilization - Silvia Federici - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Enduring Western Civilization - Silvia Federici - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

What do we mean by Western Civilization? When did the expression originate and why? At a time when there is a widespread perception that Western Civilization is undergoing a historic crisis, and when postmodernism, feminist theory, afrocentrism, deconstruction, and other current philosophical schools define themselves as alternatives to, or critiques of, Western Civilization, this book seeks to trace the development of the concept of Western Civilization and to examine the reasons for its endurance. It also suggests ways in which proponents of Western Civilization can co-opt ideas from opponents. Written from a multidisciplinary viewpoint, the essays in this volume trace the development of the concept of Western Civilization and seek to explode many standing beliefs—primarily those which concern the very existence of a Western tradition. Bound to be controversial, the book will be of interest to scholars and activists in the fields of cultural history, anthropology, and the history of ideas, as well as general readers interested in the enduring discussion of the notion of Western Civilization.

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.

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.

Invisible Digital - Aylish Wood - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Invisible Digital - Aylish Wood - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Invisible Digital helps us makes sense of something we cannot see by presenting an innovative approach to digital images and digital culture. At its heart is a novel method for exploring software used in the creation of moving images as markers of converging cultural, organizational and technological influences. The three main case studies of Invisible Digital are the animated feature Moana (2016) and the computer games No Man’s Sky (2016) and Everything (2017). All three were created using procedural techniques: simulation software for Moana , and procedural content generation for No Man’s Sky a nd Everything . Production culture disclosures associated with procedural techniques often emphasize the influences of automated systems and their algorithms, making them ideal for a study that interrogates digital processes. The approach of Invisible Digital is informed by relational theories and the concept of entanglement based on materialist perspectives, combined with insights from work that more explicitly interrogates algorithms and algorithmic culture. Aylish Wood employs the notion of assemblages to introduce the concept of material-cultural narratives. Using this conceptual framework, she draws out material-cultural narratives for each case study to demonstrate what they reveal about software and digital culture. These analyses of software provide a widely applicable method through which moving image studies can contribute more fully to the wider and growing debates about algorithmic culture.

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.

Literacy In the Digital Age - Frank B. Withrow - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Literacy In the Digital Age - Frank B. Withrow - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Literacy is the foundation for learning. In a digital world it is important that the learner understand how to critically analyze sources of information. In a paper and print world we have editorial boards, peer reviews, and other ways to validate information. In the new digital world information is instantaneous and often not validated. The challenge is how to use these new resources and how to ensure it is accurate and valid. We need to teach learners to be critical users of digital information. The digital world is influencing schools worldwide. Can the United States of America develop electronic learning and export it to other parts of the world? The United Nation reports that there are 130,000,000 children worldwide that have no teachers and no classrooms. Can a model of digital learning allow the United States of America to export high quality education to the rest of the world? Literacy In the Digital Age: Reading, Writing, Viewing, and Computing examines the transition from a book and library world and its influence upon schools to a digital world of electronic text, television, and the Internet. It redefines literacy in that new world and addresses the questions: What does a digital world mean for schools? Can we provide a model of education that allows the learner access to learning at anytime and anyplace? Includes: a glimpse of how students might learn in a digital world, a discussion of national and international digital libraries of high quality curriculum, a model federal law that could provide for the development of a digital resource for schools across the nation and eventually for the world.

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 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.

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

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. Over the past half century, computing has profoundly altered the ways stories are imagined and told. Immersive, narrative, and database technologies transform creative practices and hybrid spaces revealing and concealing the most fundamental acts of human invention: making stories. The Digital Imaginary illuminates these changes by bringing leading North American and European writers, artists and scholars, like Sharon Daniel, Stuart Moulthrop, Nick Montfort, Kate Pullinger and Geof Bowker, to engage in discussion about how new forms and structures change the creative process. 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.
