Описание: The Burden of Choice examines how recommendations for products, media, news, romantic partners, and even cosmetic surgery operations are produced and experienced online. Fundamentally concerned with how the recommendation has come to serve as a form of control that frames a contemporary American as heteronormative, white, and well off, this book asserts that the industries that use these automated recommendations tend to ignore and obscure all other identities in the service of making the type of affluence they are selling appear commonplace. Focusing on the period from the mid-1990s to approximately 2010 (while this technology was still novel), Jonathan Cohn argues that automated recommendations and algorithms are far from natural, neutral, or benevolent. Instead, they shape and are shaped by changing conceptions of gender, sexuality, race, and class. With its cultural studies and humanities-driven methodologies focused on close readings, historical research, and qualitative analysis, The Burden of Choice models a promising avenue for the study of algorithms and culture.

Описание: Pour la premiere fois, un ouvrage scientifique etudie le jazz et ses relations avec le pouvoir dans plus de 6 pays francophones, germanophones et russophones. Il s’interroge sur la valeur subversive du jazz dans la quete identitaire de la jeunesse contestataire, sur son role dans la propagande d’Etat de l’Est comme de l’Ouest, et dans la definition de soi des elites et des artistes des annees 1920 a nos jours. Resolument internationale, la perspective choisie est egalement pluridisciplinaire. Diese Studie widmet sich als erste in diesem Gebiet dem Jazz und seinen Beziehungen zu den Machthabern der jeweiligen Staaten. Der Fokus liegt auf verschiedenen deutsch-, franzosisch- sowie russischsprachigen europaischen Landern. Untersucht wird, wie subversiv der Jazz in der Identitatssuche der Jugend wirkt, sowie seine Rolle in der staatlichen Propaganda, und in der Selbstdefinition der Eliten und der Kunstler von den 1920er Jahren bis heute. Die Perspektive dieses Buches ist sowohl international wie interdisziplinar.

Описание: Comic books for adults have become one of the most novel and colourful forms of cultural expression in the Arab world today. During the last ten years, young Arabs have crafted stories explaining issues such as authoritarianism, resistance, war, sex, gender relations and youth culture. These are distributed through informal channels as well as independent bookstores and websites. Events like the annual Cairocomix festival in Egypt and the Mahmoud Kahil Award in Lebanon evidence the importance of this cultural phenomenon. Comics in Contemporary Arab Culture focuses on the production of these comics in Egypt and Lebanon, countries at the forefront of the development of the genre for adults. Jacob Hoigilt guides the reader through the emergence of independent comics, explores their social and political critique, and analyses their visual and verbal rhetoric. Analysing more than 50 illustrations, included here, he shows that Arab comics are revealing of the changing attitudes towards politics, social relations and even language. While political analysts often paint a bleak picture of the Arab world after 2011, this book suggests that art and storytelling continue to nourish a spirit of liberty and freedom despite political setbacks. Comics in Contemporary Arab Culture provides a fresh and original insight into the politics of the Middle East and cultural expression in the Arab World.
