Social Media Study

En este libro, Javier Horacio Contreras Orozco analiza las condiciones y procesos que han llevado a las redes sociales a constituirse en un jurado universal que ejerce un nuevo tipo de censura: la poscensura o censura horizontal.

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.

Bloody Crossroads 2020 takes a deep dive into the role that mass-appeal movies, television, videos, and music played in America's political culture in the year of Donald Trump's failed reelection campaign. The book also explores the impact of entertainment celebrities in communications, fundraising, and campaigning to support the election of Joe Biden.

Este es un audiolibro de investigación al que los autores han dedicado cerca de dos años. El resultado es este trabajo polémico compuesto por las biografías de once hombres y una mujer que controlan el 70 por 100 de la información mundial. Los autores nos cuentan como Silvio Berlusconi paso de vender aspiradoras a construir su imperio televisivo; esta es la primera biografía autorizada de Jesús de Polanco, así como los comienzos de El País, diario que en 1996 celebro sus veinte años de existencia.

Few people watch sport for its politics. Yet what happens on the field of play often reflects the problems in our society. Such was the case in the '80s, when black footballers emerged from the dressing room to find bananas being hurled from the stands, and racially motivated attacks and police harassment were the norm. Today, things have improved. Crowds are less hostile and stars like Anthony Joshua and Sir Mohamed Farah are among our most revered sporting heroes. But for athletes of colour, success on the field seldom converts to power away from it.

Walter Veltroni denuncia la debolezza della politica di fronte al ricatto dell'opinione pubblica, il cedimento dell'etica e del pudore sotto i colpi della società delle immagini e della comunicazione totale, riportandoci con la memoria al giorno in cui il nostro sguardo perse l'innocenza. L'11 giugno del 1981, un grido disperato paralizza l'Italia davanti ai teleschermi. Alfredino Rampi, sei anni, è precipitato in un pozzo e sta chiamando disperatamente sua madre. Gli italiani ascoltano agghiacciati il suo lamento, mentre iniziano i tentativi di salvataggio.

Gorgeous War argues that the Nazis used the swastika as part of a visually sophisticated propaganda program that was not only modernist, but also the forerunner of contemporary brand identity. When the United States military tried to answer Nazi displays of graphic power, it failed. In the end the best graphic response to the Nazis was produced by the Walt Disney Company.

In 2010—long before the release of Lemonade—Professor Kevin Allred created the university course "Politicizing Beyonce" to both wide acclaim and controversy. 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.

Long before the current preoccupation with "fake news", American newspapers routinely ran stories that were not quite, strictly speaking, true. Today, a firm boundary between fact and fakery is a hallmark of journalistic practice, yet for many readers and publishers across more than three centuries, this distinction has seemed slippery or even irrelevant.

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.

The most powerful political tool of the modern presidency is control of the message and the image. In Republic of Spin - a vibrant history covering more than 100 years of politics - presidential historian David Greenberg recounts the rise of the White House spin machine, from Teddy Roosevelt to Barack Obama.

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.

Der Ton wird schärfer, die Probleme nicht kleiner - in Deutschland wird heftig diskutiert. Die Lager stehen sich zunehmend unversöhnlicher gegenüber. "Alte weiße Männer", denen die Meinungsvorherrschaft abgesprochen wird, auf der einen Seite, junge schwarze Frauen, die, kaum gehört, der Ideologie verdächtigt werden. Dazwischen Wutbürger, Verschwörungserzähler, pöbelnde Klakeure. Vor allem in den sozialen Medien geht es hoch her, niemand will mehr zuhören, alle senden, keiner will empfangen. Zwischen grenzenloser Empörung und großer Empfindlichkeit wabern die Debatten hin und her.

The internet was created on the basis that all users are equal, but children and the vulnerable are not. In Born Digital, Robert Wigley distils the mountains of available research on the subject and brings to bear his wealth of institutional experience to present a road map for society to radically and urgently reset its relationship with technology - for the sake of future generations.

To See and Be Seen considers some of the ideological, aesthetic, pragmatic, institutional, cultural, commercial, environmental, and psychological forces that consciously or otherwise shape the production of news images and subsequently influence their reception.

Thomson examines the expectations, experiences, and reactions of those depicted by visual journalists and considers other relevant factors: How do everyday people perceive cameras and those who operate them?

Phonopoetics tells the neglected story of early "talking records" and their significance for literature, from the 1877 invention of the phonograph to some of the first recorded performances of modernist works. The book challenges assumptions of much contemporary criticism by taking the recorded oral performance as its primary object of analysis and by exploring the historically specific convergences between audio recording technologies, media formats, generic forms, and the institutions and practices surrounding the literary.

In the second half of 2020 and continuing into 2021, protests against racial injustice spread across the United States after the death of George Floyd while in the custody of Minneapolis Police Department officers. What transpired during this troubled time cast a bright light on the contemporary relationship between the press and police in the United States. The relationship between these two fundamental institutions is, however, a long and complicated one.

More than a decade ago, counterterrorism expert Rita Katz began browsing white supremacist and neo-Nazi forums. The hateful rhetoric and constant threats of violence immediately reminded her of jihadist militants. Now, years of attacks committed by extremists radicalized online—including at a synagogue in Pittsburgh and mosques in New Zealand, as well as the Capitol siege—have brought home the danger. From ISIS to QAnon, Saints and Soldiers pinpoints the approaches needed for a new era in which arrests and military campaigns alone cannot stop never-before-seen threats.
