Ein Experte klärt darüber auf, wie Eltern ihre Kinder vor sexualisierter Gewalt im Internet schützen können. Kaum ein Thema erschüttert Menschen so sehr wie sexualisierte Gewalt gegen Kinder – und kaum ein Thema wird so häufig verdrängt. Dabei schätze die UN schon 2009, dass weltweit in jeder Sekunde 750.000 Pädokriminelle online sind – Tendenz steigend. Daniel Moßbrucker ist investigativer Journalist und einer der führenden Experten zu Fragen der digitalen Überwachung und des Darknets.

La vida es una y tiene límites. La lectura de novelas los revienta y lo que era una se convierte en mil, infinitas. Ése es el mayor poder de la literatura y este libro nos hace participar de él. Lolita, Muerte en Venecia, El extranjero, Manhattan Transfer, Trópico de Cáncer y El tambor de hojalata son solo algunas de las obras del siglo XX de las que nos habla Mario Vargas Llosa en estas páginas. Revela con sus palabras la íntima relación de su lectura con las posibilidades de ampliar nuestra experiencia vital.

What exactly is the purpose of the BBC nowadays—to entertain, educate and inform? But is that all? The broadcaster itself claims to be a fearless and independent provider of news tasked with "speaking truth to power"—a true champion of the underdog. However, as David Sedgwick reveals in his new book, the reality is somewhat different: not only does the BBC diligently protect power from scrutiny, it attacks and attempts to discredit those who dare to challenge the status quo.

The television industry is changing, and with it, the small screen's potential to engage in debate and present valuable representations of American history. Founded in 1972, HBO has been at the forefront of these changes, leading the way for many network, cable, and streaming services into the "post-network" era. Despite this, most scholarship has been dedicated to analyzing historical feature films and documentary films, leaving TV and the long-form drama hungry for coverage. Rebecca Weeks fills the gap in this area and defends the historiographic power of long-form dramas.

Renyi Hong theorizes the notion of being "passionate about your work" as an affective project that encourages people to endure trying situations like unemployment, job change, repetitive and menial labor, and freelancing. Not simply a subject of aspiration, passion has been deployed as a means to build resilience and mend disappointments with our experiences of work. Tracking the rise of passion in nineteenth-century management to trends like gamification, coworking, and unemployment insurance, Hong argues that the ideal of passionate work sustains a condition of cruel optimism.

Sonic Encounters: The Islamic Call to Prayer recounts the author’s experience gathering field recordings of the Islamic Call to Prayer.

The book uses a sound studies framework to explore artistic research methods and practices in ethnography as they relate to religious recitation.

Influencer – das ist für eine ganze Generation inzwischen ein ernsthafter Berufswunsch, wenn nicht sogar ein Traumberuf. Es klingt auch zu verlockend: Ein bisschen posieren vor der Kamera, ein paar Likes und schon kommen die gut bezahlten Werbekooperationen wie von selbst. Sie filmen sich beim Schminken, reisen an paradiesische Orte, halten sich fit mit Sport und teilen ihre Tipps mit Fans. Doch dahinter steckt ein profitorientiertes Business, das große Begehrlichkeiten und Abhängigkeiten auf der Seite der Nutzer schafft.

In Abundance, Pablo J. Boczkowski builds upon what we know about the historical and contemporary scholarship to develop a novel framework on the experience of living in a society that has more information available to the public than ever before, focusing on the interpretations, emotions, and practices of dealing with this abundance in everyday life.

He outlines his pedagogical philosophy in Ain't I a Diva?, exploring the process of teaching Beyonce and what it means to use a superstar to blow up the canon. Allred brings his syllabus to life by pairing music videos and songs with historical and academic texts, and combines analysis with classroom anecdotes.

Los charlatanes de la era digital se cuelan todos los días en la actualidad informativa y cada vez es más difícil discernir la verdad entre las mentiras y las medias verdades. "Bullshit" es el ensayo que necesitamos para desenmascarar a los que manipulan los datos y se sirven del lenguaje científico para construir un discurso que no se ajusta a la realidad.

On a winter morning in 1990, Senator Byron Dorgan of North Dakota picked up the Bismarck Tribune. On the front page, a small girl gazed into the distance, shedding a tear. The headline: Foster home children beaten - and nobody's helping. Dorgan, who had been working with American Indian tribes to secure resources, was distressed. He flew to the Standing Rock Indian Reservation to meet with five-year-old Tamara and her grandfather. They became friends. Then she disappeared. And he would search for her for decades until they finally found each other again.

When "metadata" became breaking news, appearing in stories about surveillance by the National Security Agency, many members of the public encountered this once-obscure term from information science for the first time. Should people be reassured that the NSA was "only" collecting metadata about phone calls - information about the caller, the recipient, the time, the duration, the location - and not recordings of the conversations themselves? Or does phone call metadata reveal more than it seems?

Identitätspolitik zwischen Vernunft und Exzess. Wer gendert, das Z-Wort meidet und im Schlaf aufsagen kann, wofür die Buchstabenwürmer LGBTQIA* und BIPoC stehen, gilt in seinen Kreisen als "woke". Die Mehrheitsgesellschaft dagegen fragt: Haben wir keine anderen Sorgen? Petra Gerster und Christian Nürnberger führen durch das Minenfeld, das die deutsche Sprache durch identitätspolitische Forderungen geworden ist.

Tom Wolfe comandó una generación de escritores dispuestos a dinamitar las convenciones de la sociedad tradicional. Estaban allí para contarnos cosas de nosotros mismos de un modo hasta entonces inaudito. Se convirtieron en nuestros sabios orientadores, nuestros heraldos, incluso en nuestra conciencia moral: eran los nuevos periodistas.

Seeking ways to understand video games beyond their imperial logics, Patterson turns to erotics to re-invigorate the potential passions and pleasures of play. Video games vastly outpace all other mediums of entertainment in revenue and in global reach. On the surface, games do not appear ideological, nor are they categorized as national products. Instead, they seem to reflect the open and uncontaminated reputation of information technology. Like literature and film before it, video games have become the main artistic expression of empire today.
