Taylor & Francis Ltd Navigating Medias Influence Through Childhood and
Book SynopsisNavigating Media's Influence Through Childhood and Adolescence moves through research and questions that are relevant to practicing pediatricians and therapists in their everyday practice. As we navigate post-pandemic life where screen time was unrestricted in most homes, this book has never been more important. Written by a pediatrician and a professor of media effects, this book is a vital resource for practicing mental health clinicians, counselors, psychologists, physicians, and students studying in those areas. Grounded in developmental theory, mass communication theory, current research, and acumen gained from years of clinical and teaching experience, this book gives professionals what they need to understand the colossal effect media is having on their patients. An aid to practitioners, this book is organized by developmental stage and matches specific questions related to media's effects with explicit research-based recommendations and explanations. It is intended Trade Review"Navigating Media’s Influence Through Childhood and Adolescence is impressive in its approach and scope and brings together theory, research, and wisdom from medicine, childhood development, media, and media effects. Professionals working with children and youth will find the book’s unique blend of scientific insight and clinical savvy invaluable as they grapple with the many issues surrounding youths media use." Kaveri Subrahmanyam, PhD, professor of psychology and associate dean, College of Natural and Social Sciences, California State University Los Angeles"Parents ask pediatricians (and others that care for children, adolescents, and young adults) about growth, development, problem behaviors, school, and sometimes just to know if something is normal. The need to ask these questions has intensified with increased use of social media, increased isolation, increased anxiety, depression, and stress. The authors, a communication scholar and a pediatrician, use research and experience to answer questions about media and its impact on children and adolescents. This is a well-written, well-resourced guide to common concerns about the role of medial in our children's lives. It is a great resource for social workers, pediatricians, teachers, and parents." Martin M. Anderson, MD, MPH, FAAP, FSAM, professor of clinical pediatrics and adolescent medicine, Mattel Children’s Hospital"This is the book pediatricians and mental health professionals have been waiting for. Kurtin and McCormick translate research findings on the effects of media upon children into practical advice for guiding professionals who are navigating this new frontier." Gail Shak, PhD, Department of Psychiatry affiliate, Mills Peninsula Medical Center"This book offers researched answers to timely questions about how to work with children of the COVID era who have been exposed to ‘screen time’ as a means of entertainment, communication, education, and, for many families, as a means of survival. It has pertinent information for me as both a speech-language pathologist and a parent of young children." Deanna Gilman, MS, CCC-SLPTable of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd National Identity and Millennials in Northeast Asia
This book examines how the young in Northeast Asia engage with the political, especially in terms of the production, reformulation, or contestation of their national identities. Through case studies covering China, Japan, South Korea, North Korea and Taiwan, the contributions provide a study of the online spaces where youth engage with current debates regarding national identities. The book also unpacks the distinctive forms of expression and negotiation of national identities favoured by younger generations across Northeast Asia and asks questions specifically raised by their political mobilisation. For example, how their public mobilisation for a given cause has forced them to rethink their place in national and global communities.This book will be a valuable resource for scholars and students of East Asian culture and politics, media studies and youth studies.

Cambridge University Press Multilingual Youth Practices in Computer Mediated Communication
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.'

Cambridge University Press The Digital Prism
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.

Cambridge University Press Retooling Politics
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.'

MIT Press Ltd Information and Society The MIT Press Essential
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.
