Interactivity 2 - New Media, Politics And Society

de Alec Charles

34,65€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 From the Arab Spring to British summer riots, from the War on Terror to The X Factor, from social networking sites to online electioneering, the influence of new media technologies is clear. This book analyses the impact of such interactive media on contemporary politics and society. It explores how new media technologies give their users a sense of empowerment, and questions whether these technologies really directly empower their users at all. When viewers cast their votes in reality television shows, is that really a form of democratic participation? Does Facebook actually enhance the quality of its users friendships and increase their social capital? Does the video game player develop the liberating agency the game appears to promise? Do online forms of politics essentially increase levels of democratic involvement? Will Wikipedia truly teach us anything? Can Web 2.0 ever set us free? Drawing upon interviews with figures from politics and the media, this book examines the possibilities which underlie these technologies and questions some of the key assumptions which we make about them.

Home On The Horizon - Americas Search For Space, From Emily Dickinson To Bob Dylan

de Sally Bayley

42,40€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 In this study of space and place, Sally Bayley examines the meaning of home in American literature and culture. Moving from the nineteenth-century homestead of Emily Dickinson to the present-day reality of Bob Dylan, Bayley investigates the relationship of the domestic frontier to the wide-open spaces of the American outdoors. In contemporary America, she argues, the experience of home is increasingly isolated, leading to unsettling moments of domestic fallout. At the centre of the book is the exposed and often shifting domain of the domestic threshold: Emily Dickinsons doorstep, Edward Hoppers doors and windows, and Harper Lees front porch. Bayley tracks these historically fragile territories through contemporary literature and lm, including Cormac McCarthys No Country For Old Men, Lars Von Triers Dogville, and Andrew Dominiks The Assassination of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford works that explore local, domestic territories as emblems of nation. The culturally potent sites of the american home the hearth, porch, backyard, front lawn, bathroom, and basement are positioned in relation to the more conicted sites of the American motel and hotel.

Eco-Republic - Ancient Thinking For A Green Age

de Melissa Lane

33,13€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 The transition to a sustainable society is a profound challenge to ethics and political thought, as well as to humankind. It is comparable to the great transitions of the past, such as the Enlightenment. Yet the distinguished tradition of groundbreaking ideas has not so far been widely invoked in public debates in this area. What can we learn from the history of ethics and political thought to enable us to cope with climate change? Climate change and sustainability are not just technical problems or problems in applied ethics: they require a new political imagination. Melissa Lane identifies Key messages on the role of the individual, the household, the nature of citizenship, and the significance of the imagination which bring the wisdom of the past to bear on the challenges of the present. Using these resources, and building on these insights, she calls for the construction of a new normal, remaking our imagination of our society and our selves. Drawing on Platos Republic as a model while also challenging aspects of Platonic politics, the book sets out the political and psychological challenges that we face in moving beyond the psycho-political settlement of modern commercial society.
