Book SynopsisAs research continues to accumulate on the connections between media and crime, #Crime explores the impact of social media on the criminal legal system. It examines how media influences our perceptions of crime, the perpetration of crime, and the implementation of punishment, whilst emphasizing the significance of race, ethnicity, class, gender, and sexuality. It offers an accessible and in-depth examination of media and in each chapter there are case studies and examples from both legacy and new media, including discussions from Twitter that are being used to raise awareness of criminal legal issues. It also includes interviews with international scholars and practitioners from Australia, Belgium, and the United States to voice a range of global perspectives. This book speaks broadly to those interested in criminology, criminal justice, media and culture, sociology, and gender studies.Table of ContentsChapter 1.

Book SynopsisKann Verständlichkeit zum Erfolg der Presse- und Medienarbeit beitragen? Oder anders gefragt: Welche Rolle spielt Verständlichkeit bei der journalistischen Nachrichtenauswahl? Ausgehend vom Konzept der Mediatisierung argumentiert die Studie, dass die Beachtung grundlegender Verständlichkeitsregeln als ein strategisches Mittel zur Beeinflussung der medialen Aufmerksamkeit angesehen werden kann. Denn Verständlichkeit als journalistisches Qualitätskriterium ist Teil der Medienlogik. Wer diese Medienlogik bei der Gestaltung der eigenen Kommunikation berücksichtigt, schreibt im Sinne der Medien und entspricht journalistischen Vorstellungen darüber, was überhaupt berichterstattenswert ist und wie über entsprechende Ereignisse zu berichten ist. Grundlage zur empirischen Überprüfung dieser Annahme ist eine input-output-analytische Untersuchung von Pressemitteilungen DAX-notierter Unternehmen sowie der daraus resultierenden Berichterstattung in ausgewählten Medien. Mit einer Kombination manueller und automatisierter Formen der Inhaltsanalyse wird dabei die sprachliche Komplexität der Pressemitteilungen bestimmt und die Wirkung dieser Komplexität auf den journalistischen Umgang mit den Pressemitteilungen untersucht.Table of ContentsEinleitung.- (Text-)Verständlichkeit: eine Einführung und Eingrenzung.- Verständlichkeit im Nachrichtenauswahlkontext.- Empirische Befunde zur Verständlichkeit in der Wirtschaftskommunikation.- Zusammenfassung, Forschungsfragen und Hypothesen.- Methode.- Ergebnisse.- Diskussion und Ausblick.

Book SynopsisDieses Open-Access-Buch untersucht mit Fokus auf einzelne Bürger*innen fallspezifisch und empirisch den Handlungs- und Wirkungszusammenhang von Straßenprotest und Online-Aktivismus im Bereich der Umweltschutz-Bewegung. Eine ganze Bandbreite von Online- und Offline-Protestpraktiken erlaubt es Bürger*innen heutzutage, sich in politische Prozesse einzumischen, Öffentlichkeit für bestimmte Themen zu erzeugen und Politiker*innen und Unternehmen unter Druck zu setzen. Online ist hierbei jedoch nicht zwangsläufig Ersatz für Offline. In vielen Situationen von Protestpartizipation ergänzen sich Elemente beider Sphären. Warum entschließen sich Bürger*innen, ganz spezifischen Praktiken – online wie offline – nachzugehen und anderen Praktiken nicht? Welche Vor- und Nachteile benennen sie für die einzelnen ihnen zur Verfügung stehenden Formate? Die Arbeit steht im Schnittfeld unterschiedlicher politikwissenschaftlicher Forschungsfelder wie der Protestforschung, der politischen Partizipationsforschung und der Forschung rund um das Thema Digitalisierung. Basierend auf 18 Leitfaden-Interviews und einer ausführlichen Analyse werden sechs Typen von Protest-Aktivist*innen gebildet.Table of ContentsEinleitung.- Wandel von Protestpartizipation im Zuge der Digitalisierung.- Methode.- Forschungsgegenstand und historische Einordnung.- Voraussetzungen und Motive für Protestpartizipation in der Umweltschutz-Bewegung – Empirische Befunde.- Praktiken: Die Protest-Aktivist*innen der Umweltschutz-Bewegung auf der Straße, im Web 1.0 und im Web 2.0.- Einstellungen zu Straßenprotest und Netzaktivismus.- Typen von Protest-Aktivist*innen.- Wandel von Bürgerschaft?

Book SynopsisDigitale Selbstvermessungsangebote wie Schrittzähler, Ernährungs-Apps oder Sport-Tracker machen den Körper als Objekt von Daten, Zahlen oder Graphen sichtbar. So bieten sie ihren Nutzer*innen laufend Anlässe, eigene Gewohnheiten, Ziele und Leistungen zu evaluieren und selbstbestimmt zu intervenieren. Diese qualitative Aneignungsstudie beschäftigt sich mit der Frage, in welcher Wechselwirkung diese Objektivierung des Körpers zum Körperselbstbild und Wohlbefinden der Nutzer*innen steht. Praktiken der digitalen Selbstvermessung werden im alltäglichen Gebrauch fester Bestandteil etablierter Körperpraktiken und Medienrepertoires, beeinflussen diese durch ihre spezifischen Potenziale aber auch nachhaltig. Die Integration in lebensweltliche Gewohnheiten wird als individueller Balanceakt nachgezeichnet, bei dem die oft mit solchen Angeboten verbundenen Verheißungen der Kontrolle und Selbstermächtigung eng mit Gefühlen des Erwartungsdrucks oder der Insuffizienz verbunden sind. Die vielfältigen Aneignungsweisen sowie deren Konsequenzen für das Wohlbefinden werden schließlich in einer Typologie zusammengeführt, um so den Blick auf die individuellen Kompetenzen zu lenken, die zu disruptiven oder protektiven Momenten der Mediennutzung beitragen können.Table of ContentsDie Mediatisierung des Leibes – Das Phänomen Self-Tracking als Ausdruck einer neuen Sichtbarkeit des Körpers.- Körperselbstbild als kommunikativer Prozess: Wohlbefinden und digitale Selbstvermessungsangebote.- Forschungsperspektive: Digitale Selbstvermessung als mediatisierte Praxis der körperlichen Selbstsorge.- Technologische und kulturelle Bedingungen der Selbstsorge.- Mediatisierung und die neuen Sichtbarkeiten des Körpers.- Digitale Abbilder als Fenster der Selbst- und Fremdwahrnehmung: Kategorien und forschungsleitende Unterfragestellungen.- Methodenkapitel.- Ergebnisteil.- Konklusion.- Quellenverzeichnis.

Book SynopsisWitzig, unterhaltend, transparent – Zuschreibungen, die vor wenigen Jahren für die Außendarstellung der Polizei undenkbar waren. Dank Social Media gehören diese Eigenschaften nun zum festen Kommunikationsrepertoire der Polizei. Wie die Polizei in Deutschland konkret auf Social Media kommuniziert, war bisher allerdings nahezu unerforscht. Ebenso war wenig bekannt über die Ziele und Strategien, die die Polizei in Sozialen Netzwerken verfolgt. Das Buch beantwortet diese Fragen mit der Hilfe von qualitativen Leitfadeninterviews mit Social-Media-Verantwortlichen der Polizei und einer quantitativen Inhaltsanalyse von Posts auf Facebook, Twitter und Instagram sowie von Instagram-Storys. Die Ergebnisse ermöglichen einen detaillierten Blick auf die strategische und inhaltliche Social-Media-Kommunikation, die das Berufsfeld der Polizei-PR grundlegend verändert. Einerseits kann die Polizei durch Social Media unabhängiger denn je in Meinungsbildungsprozesse der digitalen Welt eingreifen, andererseits erheben Hate Speech, Fake News und Influencer völlig neue Ansprüche an die Kommunikationskompetenz. Die Ergebnisse liefern damit nicht nur einen gesamtheitlichen Einblick in die polizeiliche Kommunikationsweise, sondern auch einen wichtigen Impuls für die gesamtgesellschaftliche Debatte darüber, wie Polizeikommunikation auf Social Media in unserer Demokratie bewertet werden kann.Trade Review“... Graßl legt mit seiner Untersuchung eine sehr ausdifferenzierte Analyse vor. Besonders hervorzuheben ist die Einbeziehung der drei größten Netzwerke (Twitter, Instagram und Facebook) sowie der Methodenmix zwischen Experteninterviews und quantitativer Inhaltsanalyse polizeilicher Posts. Gerade die Leitfadeninterviews geben einen aufschlussreichen Einblick in das Innenleben der Social-Media-Dienststellen der Polizei.

Book SynopsisDie Bilder erblicken uns. Sie speisen sich aus unseren Wünschen und Gewohnheiten. Sie steuern unseren Blick. Durch die voranschreitende Digitalisierung findet zunehmend auch eine Umkehrung des Blickes statt. KI-gesteuerte Algorithmen analysieren unsere Blicke und generieren auf uns persönlich abgestimmte Bilder. Zugleich können wir mit neuen Technologien multiperspektivische und multisensorische Metabilder erzeugen, die unseren bisherigen Bildbegriff sprengen und uns modellhaft Wahrscheinlichkeiten über die Welt vermitteln.Von prähistorischen Handabdrücken über Passbildportraits bis hin zu KI-generierten Bildern, die wie Fotos erscheinen, spannt Marcus Kaiser einen Bogen durch unsere Kultur des Lebens mit Bildern. Das Buch enthält zahlreiche Abbildungen von Fotografien und künstlerischen Werken Marcus Kaisers. Im Gespräch mit dem Kommunikationswissenschaftler Mario Donick wird deutlich, wie der Autor die Wechselseitigkeit des Blicks erforscht. Er zeigt, wie Bilder und besonders Fotografien auch aufgrund ihrer technischen Grundlagen Weltanschauungen implizieren und auf uns projizieren. Leser*innen erfahren neben verschiedenen Konzepten der Bildgebung, wie wir analytisch und kritisch reflektierend mit Bildern umgehen und forschend mit dem Ziel des Erkenntnisgewinns Bilder herstellen können. Das wird angesichts der Möglichkeiten der durch Künstliche Intelligenz gesteuerten Bildgenerierung künftig eine wichtige Fähigkeit sein.Table of ContentsDie Allgegenwart von Bildern - Bildkulturen, Bildpraktiken und deren gesellschaftliche Funktionen - Bildformen in sozialen Medien - Reflexion von Gesellschaft und Umwelt durch Fotografie - Zur Ausstellung von ‚Welt‘bildern im Bild - Die Frage nach dem Wirklichkeitsbezug von Bildern

Book SynopsisThis book focuses on geospatial information in living spaces, providing many examples of its collection and use as well as discussing the problems of how it is used and its future prospects.Geospatial information science is in the process of evolving and being systematized, with the technical and usage aspects of the real world stimulating each other. This book systematizes the technical aspects of positioning; of geography, which manages and represents what is measured in units of earth coordinates; and of data science, which aims to efficiently express and process geographic information, all by introducing contemporary examples that are systematized with regard to their use in our living spaces. Examples of geospatial information used in almost all aspects of our lives, including urban areas, transportation, disaster prevention, health and medical care, agriculture, forestry and fisheries, culture, ecology, and topography, are presented, along with examples of their use in each area. One of the major features of this book is that it describes the use of data from earthquake disasters that is unique to Japan, as well as the use of open data and personal data in Japan, which is a trend that is gaining attention in many countries. In this way the book systematically describes events and circumstances in living spaces that are revealed by the expression and analysis of geospatial data, with case studies and discusses their use in the IoT era.Table of ContentsChapter 1.

Book SynopsisWith an eye to the playful, reflexive, self-conscious ways in which global youth engage with each other online, this volume analyzes user-generated data from these interactions to show how communication technologies and multilingual resources are deployed to project local as well as trans-local orientations. With examples from a range of multilingual settings, each author explores how youth exploit the creative, heteroglossic potential of their linguistic repertoires, from rudimentary attempts to engage with others in a second language to hybrid multilingual practices. Often, their linguistic, orthographic, and stylistic choices challenge linguistic purity and prescriptive correctness, yet, in other cases, their utterances constitute language policing, linking ''standardness'' or ''correctness'' to piety, trans-local affiliation, or national belonging. Written for advanced undergraduates, postgraduates and researchers in linguistics, applied linguistics, education and media and communiTrade Review'A compelling collection of work! The editors have assembled a comprehensive set of studies that covers a wide range of digital platforms, languages, and regional contexts. The ethnographic approach adopted throughout the chapters reveals rich details about linguistic creativity and diversity in digital communication and makes an important contribution to a number of areas including sociolinguistics, discourse analysis, internet linguistics, and media research at large.' Carmen Lee, Chinese University of Hong Kong'Multilingual Youth Practices in Computer Mediated Communication is unique in that it takes established linguistic methods from various domains like dialectology, conversation analysis or sociology and applies it to this newer communication style. In that, it offers an insight into the multilingual mind and is thus a valuable contribution to the field and useful for readers with many different backgrounds and knowledge levels.'

Book SynopsisWe live in times of transparency. Digital technologies expose everything we do, like, and search for, and it is difficult to remain private and out of sight. Meanwhile, many people are concerned about the unchecked powers of tech giants and the hidden operations of big data, artificial intelligence and algorithms and call for more openness and insight. How do we - as individuals, companies and societies - deal with these technological and social transformations? Seen through the prism of digital technologies and data, our lives take new shapes and we are forced to manage our visibilities carefully. This book challenges common ways of thinking about transparency, and argues that the management of visibilities is a crucial, but overlooked force that influences how people live, how organizations work, and how societies and politics operate in a digital, datafied world.Trade Review'A key feature of life in the digital age is that it is lived in public. In a world filled with ubiquitous technologies we have an expectation that the companies that we work for, the governments that represent us, and even the people we hold close will provide us with transparency and accountability. In this ground breaking book, Mikkel Flyverbom shows how transparency is produced, maintained, and manipulated through the way we manage visibilities. At its core, this book helps us to think about how our own behaviors shape what and how we see and it provides useful strategies with which we can be more informed consumers, citizens, and stewards of our world.' Paul Leonardi, Duca Family Professor of Technology Management, University of California, Santa Barbara and author of Car Crashes Without Cars and Technology Choice'Flyverbom illuminates the pervasive and poorly understood illumination that has become a condition of our societies. This glass world offers a window onto new vistas, but with jagged edges that cut us to the quick and force us to hide in our own lives. Flyverbom demonstrates that we have yet to reckon with the social and political challenges of this pandemic of transparency, loosed by institutional forces that have, so far, run free of constraint. His book can help us reckon with key political questions of our time: who does transparency serve? Can democracy survive transparency?' Shoshana Zuboff, author of The Age of Surveillance Capitalism: The Fight for a Human Future at the New Frontier of Power'Similar to the work of Canadian media theorist Marshall McLuhan, this book concerns the medium rather than the message as a dynamic force in social change and affairs. Specifically, Flyverbom posits that more data, transparency, and clarity in digital technology are not necessarily mutually compatible… Much like McLuhan tried to reveal the profound ramifications of communication technology on social organization, Flyverbom sounds the alarm that more data might not mean more transparency but will rather lead to the opposite: opacity and secrecy without proper governance… Summing Up: Recommended. All readership levels.' P. P. Philbin, ChoiceTable of ContentsIntroduction. The transparency formula; 1. Digital and datafied spaces; 2. Transparency and managed visibilities; 3.

Book SynopsisDonald Trump, the Arab Spring, Brexit: digital media have provided political actors and citizens with new tools to engage in politics. These tools are now routinely used by activists, candidates, non-governmental organizations, and parties to inform, mobilize, and persuade people. But what are the effects of this retooling of politics? Do digital media empower the powerless or are they breaking democracy? Have these new tools and practices fundamentally changed politics or is their impact just a matter of degree? This clear-eyed guide steps back from hyperbolic hopes and fears to offer a balanced account of what aspects of politics are being shaped by digital media and what remains unchanged. The authors discuss data-driven politics, the flow and reach of political information, the effects of communication interventions through digital tools, their use by citizens in coordinating political action, and what their impact is on political organizations and on democracy at large.Trade Review'In this provocative, fresh account of the power of digital media in politics, the authors bundle insights from various fields to provide an accessible account of the many ways digital media are shaping contemporary politics. This timely and welcome book will be highly useful for anyone seeking to understand this complex and evolving issue.' Kenneth Benoit, London School of Economics and Political Science'Retooling Politics offers a fresh and nuanced 'needs-based' framework for analyzing the effects of digital media on political life. This is a necessary book that cuts through hyperbole in its grounded, procedural analysis of what has actually changed in politics, from how organizations pursue their ends to the voices that count in public life.' Daniel Kreiss, UNC Center for Information, Technology, and Public Life'This book gives a nuanced analysis of digital media in politics, focusing on political actors' needs, flows and costs of information, and connections to publics. The authors offer readers a careful and systematic approach to the big question of whether digital media strengthen or undermine democracy.' Bruce Bimber, University of California, Santa Barbara'Jungherr, Rivero and Gayo-Avello's Retooling Politics is simply exquisite. By all means this book represents one of the finest accounts I have come across to explain why and how digital media is the largest and most profound transformative power in today's democracy. With a comprehensive, meticulous, and sharp use of the most current and influential literature in the social sciences, the authors build a brilliant and multi-disciplinary argument that will guide readers to better grasp how digital media has transformed our political realm.' Homero Gil de Zúñiga, University of Vienna'The effects of digital media on politics and democracy are far-reaching, diverse, quickly evolving, and difficult to grasp. Retooling Politics is an essential resource for anyone trying to make sense of the connection between digital media and politics - and to understand what we actually know about it.' Fabrizio Gilardi, University of Zurich'All over the world, old political goals are pursued with new political tools. Retooling Politics' needs-based approach presents a nuanced new way of thinking about the impact not on specific political outcomes, or on the basic goals of political actors, but on the practical and institutional process of politics. Thus, this book will help combat the catchy but simplistic narratives advanced by digital cheerleaders and doom-mongers and contribute to more realistic and evidence-based alternatives.' Rasmus Nielsen, University of Oxford'Retooling Politics is simply the best book I have read on politics in the digital age. The authors show how political actors use legacy media, digital platforms, and data driven strategies to change how public information is produced, distributed, received, evaluated and used. This book updates the entire field with a timely focus on contemporary problems of democracy. It is destined to become a classic.' W. Lance Bennett, University of Washington'This book offers a fresh and comprehensive perspective on the needs that digital media fulfill in the context of democratic politics. The wide-ranging analysis explores the needs that digital media provides for political organizations, for the spread of information, and for enabling collective action in the broadest sense.'

Book SynopsisA short, informal account of our ever-increasing dependence on a complex multiplicity of messages, records, documents, and data.We live in an information society, or so we are often told. But what does that mean? This volume in the MIT Press Essential Knowledge series offers a concise, informal account of the ways in which information and society are related and of our ever-increasing dependence on a complex multiplicity of messages, records, documents, and data. Using information in its everyday, nonspecialized sense, Michael Buckland explores the influence of information on what we know, the role of communication and recorded information in our daily lives, and the difficulty (or ease) of finding information. He shows that all this involves human perception, social behavior, changing technologies, and issues of trust.Buckland argues that every society is an “information society”; a “non-information society” would be a contradiction in terms.

Book SynopsisHow momfluencer culture impacts women psychologically as consumers, as performers of their stories, and as mothersOn Instagram, the private work of mothering is turned into a public performance, generating billions of dollars. The message is simple: we’re all just a couple of clicks away from a better, more beautiful experience of motherhood.Linen-clad momfluencers hawking essential oils, parenting manuals, baby slings, and sponsored content for Away suitcases make us want to forget that the reality of mothering in America is an isolating, exhausting, almost wholly unsupported endeavor. In a culture which denies mothers basic human rights, it feels good to click “purchase now” on whatever a momfluencer might be selling. It feels good to hope.Momfluencers are just like us, except they aren’t. They are mothers, yes. They are also marketing strategists, content creators, lighting experts, advertising executives, and artists. They are

Book SynopsisDie poetische Kraft der Theorie bezieht sich für Alexander Kluge weniger auf reine Philosophie oder die abgesonderte Lust am Denken als vielmehr auf die altgriechische Praxis der Theoria. Wie der antike Theoretiker namens Theoros, der als Gesandter aus fremden Ländern heimkehrte, um von anderen Völkern und Kulturen zu erzählen, strebt Kluges Interesse an der poetischen Kraft der Theorie nach der Anreicherung der menschlichen Wesenskräfte, die subjektive Erfahrung von Differenz in einer Krisenzeit auszudrücken, in der die Werkzeuge des Erzählens verarmt sind. Diese Ausgabe des Jahrbuchs erkundet Kluges Theorie dieses narrativen Potenzials im stürmischen Zeitalter der Digitalität, das von Algorithmen regiert, mit Informationen überflutet und von sozialen Unruhen zerrüttet ist.

Book SynopsisWie funktionieren Kooperationen in einem per se interdisziplinären Umfeld mit verschiedenen Herangehens- und Arbeitsweisen, Fragestellungen, Erwartungen und Zielvorgaben und welche Erfahrungen wurden damit im jeweiligen Projekt gesammelt? Der erste Band des Netzwerks für digitale Geisteswissenschaften und Citizen Science fragt nach der praktischen Ausgestaltung kooperativer Forschungsprozesse im Zusammenspiel von Geisteswissenschaft, Digital Humanities, Informatik und weiteren Akteuren. Ausgehend von einer konkreten Projekt- und/oder institutionellen Perspektive richtet sich der Blick auf den Aspekt der Kooperation als inhaltliche, organisatorische und forschungspraktische Klammer der beteiligten Wissenschaftskulturen. Ein besonderer Fokus liegt auf den Erfolgsfaktoren für eine Projektarbeit, in der es gelingt, sich auf die unterschiedlichen (fach-)spezifischen und methodischen Ansätze, Arbeits- und Denkweisen des Kooperationspartners einzulassen und in andere Sichtweisen auf das gleiche Projekt einzudenken. How do co-operations function in a per se interdisciplinary environment with different methods, approaches, questions, expectations and goals? What kind of experiences have been made in the respective projects? The first volume of the network for Digital Sciences and Citizen Science focuses on the practical design of co-operative research processes in connection with Human Sciences, Digital Humanities, Information Technology and other research fields. On the basis of an existing project and / or institutional perspective it concentrates on the aspect of co-operations as topical, organisational and research-practical frame of the parties involved. The volume also focuses on the success factors of a project, in which it is possible to adapt to various specific and methodical approaches of cooperation partners and to understand different perspectives within one project.
