The global web and its digital ecosystem can be seen as tools of emancipation, communication and spreading knowledge or as means of repression, fueled by capitalism, surveillance, and control.
The Digital Frontier, attempts an ambitious interrogation of how the most global technology in human history simultaneously heralds a novel form of power whose nature users can perceive but not fully name. The book's analysis reveals that power to operate through the conventions, protocols, standards, and algorithmic regulations that form the web's soft infrastructures. It shows this through analyzing four different sites where the universalizing imperatives of the web run up against local values, norms, and cultures. Kumar's critical analysis of these sites focuses respectively on how the idea of the "global common good" is used as a ruse by private corporations to expand their market-share, how seemingly collaborative spaces can simultaneously be exclusionary as they regulate what counts as legitimate knowledge, how selfhood is being redefined online along Eurocentric ideals, and how the web's challenge is felt differentially by nation states.
In analyzing the nature of power and control on the web, The Digital Frontier is a great read for readers, scholars, activists and students inspired by the utopian dream of a truly representative global digital network that its founders imagined the web to be.

Автор: Alice Noris, Lorenzo Cantoni Название: Digital Fashion Communication: An (Inter)cultural Perspective ISBN: 9004520619 ISBN-13(EAN): 9789004520615 Издательство: Brill Цена: 92980.00 T Наличие на складе: Нет в наличии. Описание: Fashion is an integral part of popular culture, closely intertwined with tales, magazines, photography, cinema, television, music and sports...up to the emergence of dedicated exhibitions and museums.
Fashion is undergoing a major digital transformation: garments and apparels are presented and sold online, and fashion trends and styles are launched, discussed and negotiated mainly in the digital arena. While going well beyond national and linguistic borders, digital fashion communication requires further cultural sensitivity: otherwise, it might ignite inter-cultural misunderstandings and communication crises.
This book presents the recent transformation of Fashion from being a Cinderella to becoming a major cultural attractor and academic research subject, as well as the implications of its digital transformation. Through several cases, it documents intercultural communication crises and provides strategies to interpret and prevent them.
KakaoTalk and Facebook: Korean American Youth Constructing Hybrid Identities explores the role smartphones play in the lives of Korean American youth as they explore their identities and navigate between fitting into their host society and their Korean heritage. Employing multiple methodologies, this book gives voice to the youth’s personal experiences, identity struggles, and creative digital media practices. While similar in many aspects to other American youth, they also differ greatly in the central roles that their smartphones’ use plays in maintaining their mastery of the Korean language, connecting to Korean pop culture, and cultivating their social networks with other co-ethnic peers and homeland relatives and friends. The results of this study challenge traditional assumptions about assimilation of second generation immigrants into a host society and suggest that digital technologies facilitate the process of segmented assimilation, according to which ethnic identities continue to play a central role in the identity of children of immigrants. KakaoTalk and Facebook will be of great interest to scholars and educators of media and youth and those exploring how digital media have changed the nature of immigration processes in dramatic ways.

Автор: Beer, David Название: Quirks of digital culture ISBN: 1787699161 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781787699168 Издательство: Emerald Рейтинг: Цена: 39290.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: The culture we consume is increasingly delivered to us via various digital on-demand platforms. The last decade has seen platforms like Facebook, Amazon, Netflix, Spotify, Google and the like become massive players in shaping cultural consumption. But how can we understand culture once it moves on to big tech platforms? How can we make sense of the changes this brings to our lives? These platforms have the power to shape our cultural landscape and to use data, algorithms and other technological means to shape our experiences, from what we remember through to what we know and even the speed and accessibility of culture. This book asks how can we understand the chaos and messiness of on-demand culture? Beer suggests that we focus on the quirks and use these as openings to see inside patterns and dynamics of these new cultural formations. By exploring the strange quirks that typify our new on-demand culture, this book seeks to answer these questions. The Quirks of Digital Culture is a guide to understanding the complex and unsettling cultural present, whilst also casting an eye on how our consumption and cultural experiences may unfold in what seems like an unpredictable future.
