Taylor & Francis Ltd Amazon
Book SynopsisTaking a political economy of media approach, this book examines Amazon as a significant actor in the global media landscape.Amazon is mainly conceived in the popular consciousness and media commentary as a corporate body, selling products and services to individual consumers and organisations, but Brevini and Swiatek show that Amazon has become a communication giant that trades in diversified media (its own and others), and exerts a significant influence on global communication, especially through its online services. Further, the authors provide evidence of Amazon''s multiple influences on politics, economics, and culture.With its comprehensive and critical overview, this book is ideal for students, scholars, and researchers of media and communication studies and political economy.Table of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis A History of Competitive Gaming
Book SynopsisCompetitive gaming, or esports â referring to competitive tournaments of video games among both casual gamers and professional players â began in the early 1970s with small competitions like the one held at Stanford University in October 1972, where some 20 researchers and students attended.

Regardless of views held about competitive gaming, esports have become a modern economic and cultural phenomenon.This book studies the full history of competitive gaming from the 1970s to the 2010s against the background of the arrival of the electronic and computer age. It investigates how competitive gaming has grown into a new form of entertainment, a sport-like competition, a lucrative business and a unique cultural sensation. It also explores the role of competitive gaming in the development of the video game industry, making a distinctive contribution to our knowledge and understanding of the history of video games.A History of Competitive Gaming will appeal to all those interested in the business and culture of gaming, as well as those studying modern technological culture.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Algorithms Automation and News
Book SynopsisThis book examines the growing importance of algorithms and automationincluding emerging forms of artificial intelligencein the gathering, composition, and distribution of news. In it the authors connect a long line of research on journalism and computation with scholarly and professional terrain yet to be explored. Taken as a whole, these chapters share some of the noble ambitions of the pioneering publications on reporting algorithms', such as a desire to see computing help journalists in their watchdog role by holding power to account. However, they also go further, firstly by addressing the fuller range of technologies that computational journalism now consists of: from chatbots and recommender systems to artificial intelligence and atomised journalism. Secondly, they advance the literature by demonstrating the increased variety of uses for these technologies, including engaging underserved audiences, selling subscriptions, and recombining and re-using content.

Taylor & Francis Routledge International Handbook of Visual
Book SynopsisDynamically written and richly illustrated, the Routledge International Handbook of Visual Criminology offers the first foundational primer on visual criminology. Spanning a variety of media and visual modes, this volume assembles established researchers whose work is essential to understanding the role of the visual in criminology and emergent thinkers whose work is taking visual criminology in new directions. This book is divided into five parts that each highlight a key aspect of visual criminology, exploring the diversity of methods, techniques and theoretical approaches currently shaping the field:â Part I introduces formative positions in the developments of visual criminology and explores the different disciplines that have contributed to analysing images.â Part II explores visual representations of crime across film, graphic art, documentary, police photography, press coverage and graffiti and urban aesthetics.â Trade Review"This collection of original essays shows how quickly the visual landscape has become an integral part of an engaged and critical criminology. It is a breath-taking achievement and fitting testimony to the influence of the late Nicky Rafter."Piers Beirne, Professor in the Department of Criminology, Economics and Sociology, University of Southern Maine, USA"With its stress on emotion and affect, this book further extends the canon of cultural criminology and research in crime and media, developing a critically engaged approach to the study of visual imagery in criminology. Containing essays by established and emerging figures in the field, with topics ranging from formative ideas in visual criminology to emergent trends and new directions, the volume provides students, teachers and researchers with a wealth of textual and visual information. The book is premised on a view of crime images as inseparable from reality, and having a constitutive role in defining crime, determining its outcomes and consequences, and contributing to its legacies. Moreover, it suggests images of crime, punishment and control are infused with relations of power and resistance, meaning criminologists should take seriously the politics and ethics of visual representation, and consider how that might affect activism and interventions in criminal justice processes."Dr Greg Martin, Associate Professor of Socio-Legal Studies, University of Sydney, Australia, Editor of The Sociological Review and Associate Editor of Crime, Media, Culture"Brown, Carrabine and the contributing authors have produced a game-changing anthology that does more than offer incremental advances in knowledge and understanding. In situating established and emerging theoretical and methodological perspectives in a context of carefully framed ethical debate, The Routledge Handbook of Visual Criminology brings intellectual coherence to an entire subfield of study. This book should finally open mainstream Criminology’s eyes to the visually-driven nature of crime, justice and social order. It is an outstanding achievement."Professor Chris Greer, Head of the Department of Sociology and Co-Director of the Centre for Law, Justice and Journalism, City, University of London, UK, and Associate Editor of Crime, Media, Culture"This is a ground-breaking collection that brings together theory, method and image across disciplines, and showcases some of the most exciting work in the burgeoning field of visual criminology. The handbook is intellectually stimulating, immensely engaging and visually stunning. It will transform the way we understand the power of the image in crime, punishment and global (in)justice. An outstanding volume and essential reading for students and scholars in criminology, sociology and media studies around the world."Professor Maggy Lee, Department of Sociology, University of Hong Kong"This is the most authoritative and comprehensive account of what has come to be known as ‘visual criminology’. Brown and Carrabine’s volume is little short of outstanding in its vision, reach and content. One would hope that in years to come this text will be discussed as a defining moment, a kind of nodal point, in the evolution of criminology’s relationship with the visual… (it) is an exceptional text, one that should be read, understood, debated and enjoyed by criminologists and other interested parties far and wide. But, crucially, it is one that they really should see, too." Dr. Steve Wakeman, Liverpool John Moores University, British Journal of Criminology
