Book Internet and Society in Latin America and the Caribbean

Download or read book Internet and Society in Latin America and the Caribbean written by International Development Research Centre (Canada) and published by IDRC. This book was released on 2004 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents pioneering research that is designed to show, from a qualitative and ethnographic perspective, how new information and communication technologies, as applied to the school system and to local governance initiatives, merely reproduce traditional pedagogical approaches and the dominant forms by which power is exercised at the local level. The studies thus constitute points of departure for further thinking about the need to promote an Internet culture based on the social application of a OC right to communication and cultureOCO and an OC Internet right, OCO that will permit the establishment of true citizen participation and free access to knowledge, with due regard to personal and individual rights such as those of privacy and intimacy."

Book De Orwell al cibercontrol

Download or read book De Orwell al cibercontrol written by Armand Mattelart y André Vitalis and published by Editorial GEDISA. This book was released on 2015-04-15 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Las recientes revelaciones sobre las prácticas ilegales de la Agencia Americana de Seguridad (NSA), o el descubrimiento por parte de un usuario del rastreo digital masivo realizado por Facebook testimonian la magnitud de la hipervigilancia a la que estamos sometidos. Sin embargo, lejos del modelo disciplinario tradicional sobre el que alertaba George Orwell en su Gran Hermano, ahora los controles se ejercen desde múltiples y sofisticados frentes, en los que cada vez es mayor la participación involuntaria de los ciudadanos. Armand Mattelart y André Vitalis nos proponen reflexionar sobre un novedoso e inquietante concepto: el perfilado, esto es, el control indirecto de los individuos —a menudo con el propósito de anticipar sus comportamientos— a través del estudio y explotación sistemáticos de sus datos —ya sean sus desplazamientos o sus pautas de consumo—. Mientras que el modelo de vigilancia totalitario exhibía su control, en el mundo post-orwelliano éste se nos impone sin plena conciencia por nuestra parte; es invisible, y esta invisibilidad, potenciada por la desmaterialización de los soportes, garantiza su efectividad en una población crecientemente fascinada por las nuevas tecnologías que, sin embargo, no perciben como tecnologías de control.

Book International Media Research

Download or read book International Media Research written by John R. Corner and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2004-01-14 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International Media Research offers a rigorous and critical review of key approaches and concerns that have recently defined the field of media research. In this clearly argued collection of essays, the contributors analyze and reflect upon dominant themes and debates that have made media research an increasingly important element of cultural theory. The volume begins with a critical evaluation of the work of the leading media scholar, Elihu Katz, and continues with an exploration of the relationship between media studies and adjacent disciplines: cultural studies and gender and sexuality. Contributors drawn from Britain, America, Canada and Belgium consider the relationships between media research and media policy in different national and international contexts. Focusing on the European Union, East-Central Europe, North America and Latin America, chapters assess the impact of social, economic and political circumstances on policy debates and the shaping of the research agenda. The final chapter adopts a transatlantic perspective in tracing and analysing the history of the media's role in reporting war.

Book Media and Politics in Latin America

Download or read book Media and Politics in Latin America written by Elizabeth Fox and published by Sage Publications (CA). This book was released on 1988 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The "overview articles have a welcome clarity and an anchoring in fact and experience often missing in work on Latin American media. To [Fox's] credit, she has selected authors who mostly underplay rhetorical generality for well-told tales about media policy." --The Democratic Communique "This well-written, well-researched book shows the courage of electronic journalists and how they have adjusted to--and often transcended and helped end--censorship and persecution. History comes alive in its retelling by these skillful essayists." --The Times of the Americas "Tightly written and tightly edited, minimally documented, but well researched, this volume breaks new ground and can serve as an advanced undergraduate and graduate textbook, as well as an indispensable reference." --Choice "This collection of essays contributes significantly toward filling the English-language void of information about media policies in Latin America. Fox has done a good job of pulling together diverse media experiences in Latin America, and an excellent distribution of work among scholars from the area. The book will augment readings for Latin Americanists and for others interested in international media." --Journalism Quarterly "Fox and 13 well-known and well-chosen Latin American communicologists document and build a balanced view of what happened to 'the people, the media and the government' in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, El Salvador, Peru, and Uruguay' in the fifty or so years of the Latin America media.'" --Journal of Communication "This is a well-researched, well-organized and well-written book of general interest. History comes alive in the skillful writings of these essayists." --MediaDevelopment The relationship between the mass media and political power attracts worldwide and perennial interest. It is a topic that has generated particularly heated debate in Latin America. At times, controversial attempts to enact national communication policies have radically altered the ownership of the media and the content of reporting. At others, the media have been the target of harsh censorship and virulent government repression. Media and Politics in Latin America examines the different forces that have affected the modern mass media in the region. Elizabeth Fox presents a stimulating overview of media policies, including early commercialization and government intervention, the movements for reform, the impact of the dictatorships and the recovery of democracy. Thirteen illuminating studies then trace the major themes through nine countries. Finally, the conclusion assesses the prospects for attaining the democratic goals of social equality and participation in the Latin American media. A comprehensive examination relating universal issues to specific cases in a key region, this volume will be of interest to scholars and professionals in the fields of communication, media studies, and Latin American or Third World studies.

Book Handbook of Research on Software Quality Innovation in Interactive Systems

Download or read book Handbook of Research on Software Quality Innovation in Interactive Systems written by Cipolla-Ficarra, Francisco Vicente and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2021-03-19 with total page 501 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The inclusion of experts in communicability in the software industry has allowed timeframes to speed up in the commercialization of new technological products worldwide. However, this constant evolution of software in the face of the hardware revolution opens up a host of new horizons to maintain and increase the quality of the interactive systems following a set of standardized norms and rules for the production of interactive software. Currently, we see some efforts towards this goal, but they are still partial solutions, incomplete, and flawed from the theoretical as well as practical points of view. If the quality of the interactive design is analyzed, it is left to professionals to generate systems that are efficient, reliable, user-friendly, and cutting-edge. The Handbook of Research on Software Quality Innovation in Interactive Systems analyzes the quality of the software applied to the interactive systems and considers the constant advances in the software industry. This book reviews the past and present of information and communication technologies with a projection towards the future, along with analyses of software, software design, phrases to use, and the purposes for software applications in interactive systems. This book is ideal for students, professors, researchers, programmers, analysists of systems, computer engineers, interactive designers, managers of software quality, and evaluators of interactive systems.

Book The Political Economy of Telecommunications Reform in Developing Countries

Download or read book The Political Economy of Telecommunications Reform in Developing Countries written by Ben Petrazzini and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1995-10-18 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on a policy-making theoretical framework and on the recent experiences of 10 developing countries, this study explores the factors that lead to the success or failure of telecommunications reform. It provides universal conclusions that might help predict the success or failure of telecommunications policies, such as, privatization and liberalization, in other nations that are moving towards reform. This book is an original contribution to our understanding of the rapid and often complex transformations in telecommunications policies. It defies previous assumptions about conditions for success and failure of policy implementation. Although numerous publications deal with telecommunications policy reform in Europe or the United States, little has been written about it in the developing world. This book fills the gap and will be invaluable for academics, policy makers, and others concerned with communications, economic development, and international business.
