Main Topic ▶ Attention becomes one of the most important capital. In this book, I will review the reason why capital may be able to include Attention. Summary ▶ Quest have been made in various fields for the money until now. Economics who studies the flow of money is typical. However, The Attention, and rare as money, it is considered a capital. I think, therefore, new scholarship to study whether to manage how they distribute this important resource. Also, I believe that to study in the capital of Attention is, and can provide a new perspective to look at the social phenomenon. For example, in the case of a counter problem or bullying, by analyzing the exchange surfaces are displayed among students of Attention Resource, to whom negative Attention is concentrated, who live in the indifference of the same age it can be known that it is. ㆍ counter bullying problem is to be understood in a competitive market to acquire a kind of positive Attention Resource When this happens. Therefore, to solve the problem of this competitive market, that rather than appeal to ought ethics, such as "not if turning quote", that is partitioned equally class within the Attention Resource is valid possible. Rich seems to reduce the inequality of the receiving portion more the benefits of welfare poor by issuing more tax in the economy of money though. In order to provide a scaffold for display to the capital this Attention, how is the "mental effort of human beings" Attention is rare I am, it would be useful, to see theoretically I think I try to see. Attention is very useful in itself if, if they have been extremely limited, evidence can be seen in any of the social capital Attention is also available. Will be described in conjunction with the circumstances of modern many information technology, capitalism, such as the mass media sociology, psychology, and behavioral economics, but at the end of the certification process, we continue to live the modern what Attention Get to know that it is the capital and the most rare for them, precious. → Attention Economy Theory is the purpose of this book. Chapter Introduction ▶ In order to unravel this story, this book consists of nine chapters large. First, in Chapters 1 and 2, it is intended to examine the findings of behavioral economics. Then, it is intended to clarify that that can be re-interpreted interchangeably theoretical results of this study, to derive the resource invisible named "Attention" in the process. In Chapters 3 and 4, it is intended to cover the flooding phenomenon of information. The crucial which was most constraining this information Pollution is what, it is to be demonstrated using cognitive psychology. In Chapters 5 and 6, in modern capitalism is highly developed, to be interpreted on the basis of the theory of evolutionary psychology Maslow what the most important thing that determines the well-being of human beings. Chapter 9 of the last, new academic on the basis of those discussed so far, to study the distribution of Attention Resource to emphasize the need.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The attention economy is a notion that explains the growing value of human attention in societies characterised by post-industrial modes of production. In a world in which information and knowledge become central to the valorisation process of capital, human attention becomes a scarce and hence increasingly valuable commodity. To what degree is the attention economy a specific form of capitalist production? How does the attention economy differ from the industrial mode of production in which Marx developed his critique of capitalism? How can Marx’s theory be used today despite the historical differences that separate industrial from post-industrial capitalism? The Attention Economy argues that human attention is a new form of labour that can only be understood through a systematic reinterpretation of Marx. It argues that the attention economy belongs to a general shift in capitalism in which subjectivity itself becomes the territory of production and exploitation of value as well as the territory of the reproduction of capitalist power relations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the digital age, where we are bombarded with information from all sides, attention has become a precious commodity. This book "Capturing minds: Understanding the attention economy" explores the intricacies of the attention economics and sheds light on how our attention is captured, traded, and sometimes even exploited in today's hyper-connected world. Chapter 1 defines the concept of attention economics and explores its importance in various disciplines. From a psychological perspective, attention is analyzed as a cognitive mechanism that is crucial for perception and decision-making. From an economic perspective, attention is viewed as a scarce resource with its own opportunity costs and markets. From a sociological perspective, attention reflects changing cultural norms and social behavior. Media and communication studies offer insights into the capture and filtering of attention and the resulting effects on individuals and societies. The following chapters explore the psychology of attention, the impact of technology on attention in the digital age, and the role of attention as a currency. Strategies for capturing attention, both for individuals and organizations, are discussed in Chapter 5, offering practical tips and research-based insights. Chapter 6 looks at the crucial relationship between attention and wellbeing. It explores how the constant connectivity fueled by the internet and social media impacts stress, anxiety, and overall mental health. The chapter also offers strategies for cultivating mindfulness and regaining control over attention, which is crucial in an age characterized by digital distractions and information overload.

Download or read book The Ecology of Attention written by Yves Citton and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2017-01-09 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Information overload, the shallows, weapons of mass distraction, the googlization of minds: countless commentators condemn the flood of images and information that dooms us to a pathological attention deficit. In this new book, cultural theorist Yves Citton goes against the tide of these standard laments to offer a new perspective on the problem of attention in the digital age. Phrases like paying attention and investing ones attention attest to our mistaken belief that attention can be conceptualized in narrow economic terms. We are constantly drawn towards attempts to quantify and commodify attention, even down to counting the number of 'likes' a picture receives on Facebook or a video on YouTube. By contrast, Citton argues that we should conceptualize attention as a kind of ecology and examine how the many different environments to which we are exposed – from advertising to literature, search engines to performance art – condition our attention in different ways. In a world where the demands on our attention are ever-increasing, this timely and original book will be of great interest to students and scholars in media and communications and in literary and cultural studies, and to anyone concerned about the long-term consequences of the profusion of images as well as digital content in the age of the internet.
Download or read book The Politics of Curiosity written by Enrico Campo and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2024-04-26 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through a variety of studies in the emerging field of attentional studies, this book examines and seeks alternatives to the current attention economy. Bringing together the work of leading scholars of 'critical attention studies' to reflect on issues such as techno-politics, socio-politics, and the politics of distraction, it offers a new and multi-disciplinary conceptualization of attention that emphasizes the connections between attention and curiosity, distraction, decoloniality and care. Above all, The Politics of Curiosity asks us to consider the nature and ambivalence of the curious forms of politics that might be taking shape in the shadow of our current attention economy. The "attention economy" has become a household name: we all know our attention is being harvested, commodified and packaged to be sold to advertisers by capitalist platforms. We all complain about it; some of us dream of disconnection; others call to fight back. By focusing on attentional deficits, and by reducing attention to being focused, however, the common view may miss wider stakes, and more promising opportunities. This collective volume provides a new frame of analysis based on three displacements. First, it relocates attentional issues within a triangulation that explores a continuum between attention, distraction and curiosity. Second, it invites us to investigate into the mental infrastructures that socially condition our perceptions and understandings of the world. Third, it points towards emancipatory politics of curiosity to provide alternatives to the attention economy. Contributions range from pedagogy to media theory, via digital studies, epistemology, sociology, political philosophy, literary history, aesthetics, film and dance studies. They gather some of the leading scholars who shaped the study of attention, questioned the values of distraction and explored the potentials of curiosity over the recent years. They extend across nine countries, four continents and seven languages, to provide a multicultural approach to these debates. Together, they help us understand how our current mental infrastructures have taken shape, under specific regimes of power and authority, in a world dominated by capital, colonialism and patriarchy. But they also sketch what can be done to redeploy them around imperatives of respect and care - from a better awareness of our mental biases, online behaviors and bodily movements, to our collective capacity to restructure classroom interactions, to launch alternative digital platforms, to build democratic movements. The first platform for discussion of the politics of attention and curiosity - and an essential point of reference for future debate - this book will appeal to scholars of sociology, politics and psychology.

Download or read book The Pursuit of Attention written by Charles Derber and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2000-06-15 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Enough about me," goes the old saying, "what about you? What do you think about me?" Hence the pursuit of attention is alive and well. Even the Oxford English Dictionary reveals a modern coinage to reflect the chase in our technological age: "ego-surfing"--searching the Internet for occurrences of your own name. What is the cause of this obsessive need for others' recognition? This useful and popular volume, now in a second edition that features major new introductory and concluding essays, entertainingly ponders this question. Derber argues that there is a general lack of social support in today's America, one which causes people to vie hungrily for attention, and he shows how individuals will often employ numerous techniques to turn the course of a conversation towards themselves. Illustrating this "conversational narcissism" with sample dialogues that will seem disturbingly familiar to all readers, this book analyzes the pursuit of attention in conversation--as well as in politics and celebrity culture--and demonstrates the ultimate importance of gender, class, and racial differences in competing for attention. Derber shows how changes in the economy and culture--such as the advent of the Internet--have intensified the rampant individualism and egotism of today. And finally, in a new afterword, he focuses on solutions: how to restructure the economy and culture to humanize ourselves and increase the capacity for community, empathy, and attention-giving.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is Attention Economy The treatment of human attention as a limited commodity and the application of economic theory to the resolution of a variety of information management issues are the two main components of the attention economics approach to the management of information. This is what Matthew Crawford has to say about attention: "Attention is a resource-a person has only so much of it." This concept is expanded upon by Thomas H. Davenport and John C. Beck, who state that attention is defined as the mental engagement that is focused on a specific piece of information. We become aware of certain things, we focus our attention on a specific set of things, and then we decide whether or not to take action.

Download or read book The Social Meaning of the Senses written by Paul Eisewicht and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-08-21 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: That which we consider to be real we call knowledge. As a rule, we consider what our five senses convey to us to be real. Our perception and what we consider real and construct as socially effective differs depending on which senses we focus on and how intensively. The connection between reality constructions and sensory conditions has received little attention in social research so far. This concerns, for example, the use of our sensory organs for empirical reconstructions of bodies of knowledge, sensory perceptions as part of bodies of knowledge, or the question of how far knowledge is dependent on sensory abilities. This anthology attempts to close this gap by focusing on the social significance of sensory perceptions and discussing it using the example of various objects of investigation. This book is a translation of an original German edition. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation.
Download or read book Access and Mediation written by Maren Wehrle and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2022-02-07 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent years have seen a rise in interdisciplinary approaches to the study of the mind. However, relatively little emphasis has been placed on attention, its functions, and phenomenology. As a result, there are a multitude of definitions and explanatory frameworks that describe what attention is, what it does, and how it works. This volume proposes that one way to discuss attention is by utilizing an integrative multidisciplinary framework that takes into consideration aspects of attention as a means of accessing the world and as a mediator of experience. It brings together contributions from cognitive science, philosophy, and psychology in order to shed light on these aspects of attention. By including both theoretical and empirical approaches to attention, this volume will provide (1) an innovative framework for examining attention as something that mediates experience and (2) new perspectives on foundational and defi nitional issues of what attention is and how it contributes to our ability to access the world. By drawing together different disciplines, this volume broadens the concept of attention. It opens up a new way of looking at attention as an active process through which the world is disclosed for us.

Download or read book The Attention Economy Between Market Capturing and Commitment in the Polity written by Emmanuel Kessous and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This article describes a participatory form of the attention economy, as opposed to another form, the market attention economy. The latter signifies an evolution of the market environment, characterized by an over-abundance of information at a cost that is quasi nil. In this context, attention becomes rare. The participatory attention economy accounts for the actors' motives for engaging in social life, mainly through social media on the Internet, in a context where attention has become rare. Drawing on the work of pioneer authors who have studied the attention economy, I show that in its participatory form it can be described as a polity in the making, in the sense of Luc Boltanski and Laurent Thévenot. This means that it embodies a set of collective rules and a specific principle of justice governing behaviours in the polity. I describe the normative characteristics of this emerging polity and compare it to the market form of the attention economy. This enables me to shed light on three contemporary problems in economic sociology and public policy making.
Download or read book Principles of Economic Sociology written by Richard Swedberg and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2009-10-08 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The last fifteen years have witnessed an explosion in the popularity, creativity, and productiveness of economic sociology, an approach that traces its roots back to Max Weber. This important new text offers a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of economic sociology. It also advances the field theoretically by highlighting, in one analysis, the crucial economic roles of both interests and social relations. Richard Swedberg describes the field's critical insights into economic life, giving particular attention to the effects of culture on economic phenomena and the ways that economic actions are embedded in social structures. He examines the full range of economic institutions and explicates the relationship of the economy to politics, law, culture, and gender. Swedberg notes that sociologists too often fail to properly emphasize the role that self-interested behavior plays in economic decisions, while economists frequently underestimate the importance of social relations. Thus, he argues that the next major task for economic sociology is to develop a theoretical and empirical understanding of how interests and social relations work in combination to affect economic action. Written by an author whose name is synonymous with economic sociology, this text constitutes a sorely needed advanced synthesis--and a blueprint for the future of this burgeoning field.
Download or read book The Sociology of the Economy written by Frank Dobbin and published by Russell Sage Foundation. This book was released on 2004-02-12 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The new economic sociology is based on the theory that patterns of economic behavior are shaped by social factors. The Sociology of the Economy brings together a dozen path-breaking empirical studies that explore how social forces—such as shifts in political power, the influence of social networks, or the spread of new economic ideas—shape real-world economic behavior. The contributors—all leading economic sociologists—show these social forces at work in a diverse range of international settings and historical circumstances. Examining why so many American banks followed industry leaders into foreign markets in the 1970s, only to pull back within a few years, Mark Mizruchi and Gerald Davis suggest that social emulation rather than rational calculation led banks to expand globally before there was any evidence that foreign offices paid off. William Schneper and Mauro Guillé show that despite the international diffusion of the hostile takeover during the last twenty years, the practice became widespread only in countries with political institutions conducive to buying and selling entire companies. Thus during the 1990s, the United States and United Kingdom. saw hundreds of hostile takeover bids, while Germany had only a handful, and Japan just one. Deborah Davis explores resistance to the globalization of Western ideas about real-estate ownership—particularly in China where the government has had little success in instituting a market system in place of traditional, family-based real-estate inheritance. And Richard Scott examines the controversial rise of managed care in the American healthcare system, as the quest for market efficiency collided with the ideal of equity in access to health care. Together, these studies provide compelling evidence that economic behavior is not ruled by immutable laws, and is but one realm of social behavior, with its own conventions, roles, and social structures. The Sociology of the Economy demonstrates the vitality of empirical research in the field of economic sociology and the power of sociological models in explaining how markets operate.
