Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This provocative book takes a new approach toward understanding the uneven flows of global communications. Rather than guiding its discussion by geography, types of media, or traditional separations of power and resistance, Global Communications examines political economic power and communication in relation to historically specific encounters with modernity. It underscores lived experiences in its approach to globalization showing that the state and the market can both be sites of empowerment, just as civil society might also be a site of repression. Taking a political-economic analysis of communication and culture, this dynamic group of international authors looks beyond developments in the North American information and culture industries to map new forms of citizenship and exclusion. The chapters spotlight China, Ghana, India, Japan, Palestine, Russia, Singapore, and Venezuela, and foreground the transnational formations of the European Union, the pan-Arab and Spanish-speaking markets, and civil society actors in sub-Saharan African, the Middle East, and North America. Theoretically driven and empirically grounded, Global Communications defines communication broadly to include production, circulation, and consumption and addresses urgent questions about the inequalities of globalization and the possibilities of hybrid cultural forms and practices.
Download or read book Cultures technologies et mondialisation written by Alain Kiyindou and published by Editions L'Harmattan. This book was released on 2010-06-01 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cultures, technologies et mondialisation, trois termes qui s'interpénètrent et se fécondent mutuellement. Dans le "magma" de la mondialisation, les cultures se croisent, se confrontent et dialoguent, quand elles ne s'ignorent ou ne s'excluent pas. Au-delà de ce brassage, que deviennent les cultures minoritaires ? Comment les réseaux techniques prennent-ils place dans des espaces particuliers et comment les cultures se construisent ou se détruisent ?
Download or read book La mondialisation de la communication written by Collectif and published by CNRS Éditions via OpenEdition. This book was released on 2019-08-20 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comment comprendre la mondialisation de la communication ? Le projet de cet Essentiel est d'en souligner les étapes les plus significatives et d'esquisser une analyse des bouleversements techniques, culturels et sociaux qui en résultent. Les textes présentés ici ouvrent une réflexion sur la différence entre la révolution technique de la communication et les enjeux sociaux, politiques. Il ne suffit pas que des millions d'informations et d'images circulent pour les hommes se comprennent mieux. La vitesse de l'information rappelle par ailleurs l'importance et la lenteur de la communication humaine et sociale.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: « Avec la mondialisation accrue, l’intensification des mouvements de population à l’échelle planétaire et le développement des nouvelles technologies de l’information et de la communication (NTIC), il n’est aujourd’hui plus question de confondre culture, identité et territoire – d’origine ou d’accueil – pour comprendre l’individu. La psychologie doit nécessairement se donner les moyens d’appréhender les incidences des particularismes culturels et identitaires sur les conduites, en analysant les situations où elles s’expriment et la mouvance des dynamiques interculturelles sans cesse renouvelées qui les portent (étroitement dépendantes de contraintes socio-économiques, politiques et financières à l’échelle mondiale). Qu’est-ce que la mondialisation? Pourquoi et en quoi ce phénomène affecte-t-il tous les acteurs sociaux? Comment fautil comprendre les notions de culture et d’identité culturelle? Contact interculturel et choc de culture : comment les analyser et en prévenir les nuisances dans la mobilité internationale? En développant la notion de stratégie identitaire, cet ouvrage examine les conditions de l’adaptation interculturelle de celui/celle qui nécessairement doit (ré)aménager son identité pour s’adapter au mieux aux divers milieux dans lesquels il doit (sur)vivre. Il s’adresse à tous les étudiants, chercheurs et praticiens des sciences humaines et sociales qui visent à optimiser les échanges et le développement humains. »--

Download or read book Analysing Websites written by Luc Massou and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2024-02-13 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From a cluster of interconnected HTML pages to online service platforms, websites are constantly changing in form and function. These transformations have led, on the one hand, to human and social sciences renewing or inventing analytical methodologies; and on the other hand, to a reconsideration of the practices of non-specialists and digital professionals. The Web factory is equally included on the agenda of communication training, according to an alternative approach that is complementary to the one that has been implemented for computer scientists. From these two perspectives and drawing upon several case studies, Analyzing Websites presents epistemological and methodological contributions from researchers in Information and Communication Sciences exploring websites as sociotechnical, semi-discursive and communicational devices. This study covers website design as well as their integration into the digital strategies of organizations in the public, associative and private sectors.

Book excerpt: This highly original, thought-provoking book – written by a pioneer of communication studies – is the first to analyze the post 9/11 world in terms of global media and popular culture. Written in an engaging and candid manner by a leading expert in this field Argues that cross-cultural understanding can only be achieved by harnessing the power of global media, popular culture, information technology, and personal communications technologies Examines the global trend of using film, video, music, and TV “on-demand” as the framework through which we experience all cultural activity Draws inspiration from the work of a range of theorists, from Charles Darwin to Anthony Giddens Candidly interrogates the very latest developments in world affairs, especially the roles of fundamentalist religious ideology, media globalization, and individualism, whose complex relationships have yet to be explained by social scientists
Download or read book Globalization Communication and Transnational Civil Society written by Annabelle Sreberny and published by Hampton Press (NJ). This book was released on 1996 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contemporary theorising about globalisation processes has only recently come to acknowledge the crucial role of media systems, a theme long familiar to researchers within communications. Thus this volume situates media forms and processes as central foci of globalisation processes and gives communications researchers a chance to respond to the theories often devised by those without any intimate involvement in communications theory or practice. The responses are loud and varied. The first half of the book clusters theoretical critiques and embellishments of globalisation theory as well as offers some alternative theoretical models for examining current communications and cultural practices in the unfolding new world system. Considerable attention is paid to unpacking notions of a ""transnational public sphere"", ""global civil society"", and ""solidarity"", and examining the role that media play in structuring both potentially hegemonic practices as well as alternative practices. The second half clusters a variety of case studies exploring different facets of the dynamics of globalisation. Three chapters focus on specific media forms such as the examination of music, language, and news. A last chapter explores the notion of solidarity in a different way: how international organisations such as Amnesty can try to influence the news agenda to mobilise transnational public sympathy for an oppressed group, specifically street children in Brazil. The introduction and conclusion, each written by one of the editors, provide contextualisation and development of the debates, and focus on further issues for theoretical development and empirical research.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Providing a unique analysis of current multidisciplinary research on the complex relationships between tourism and the imaginaries of tourist destinations, this book traces the links between tourism imaginaries and their religious (heaven) and political (utopia) antecedents. The substantive chapters are organised into three main thematic sections, the first explores the touristic production and consumption of place imaginaries, the second analyses the way places are practiced through imaginaries and the role imaginaries play in the tourist experience and the final section explores the way images and the media participate in the creation of tourism imaginaries.
Download or read book Embodying Black Religions in Africa and Its Diasporas written by Yolanda Covington-Ward and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2021-08-09 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The contributors to Embodying Black Religions in Africa and Its Diasporas investigate the complex intersections between the body, religious expression, and the construction and transformation of social relationships and political and economic power. Among other topics, the essays examine the dynamics of religious and racial identity among Brazilian Neo-Pentecostals; the significance of cloth coverings in Islamic practice in northern Nigeria; the ethics of socially engaged hip-hop lyrics by Black Muslim artists in Britain; ritual dance performances among Mama Tchamba devotees in Togo; and how Ifá practitioners from Mexico, Colombia, Venezuela, Trinidad, and the United States join together in a shared spiritual ethnicity. From possession and spirit-induced trembling to dance, the contributors outline how embodied religious practices are central to expressing and shaping interiority and spiritual lives, national and ethnic belonging, ways of knowing and techniques of healing, and sexual and gender politics. In this way, the body is a crucial site of religiously motivated social action for people of African descent. Contributors. Rachel Cantave, Youssef Carter, N.

Download or read book La diversit culturelle written by Paul Rasse and published by CNRS. This book was released on 2013 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La mondialisation est aujourd'hui une réalité bien installée, qui emporte hommes, sociétés et cultures. Mais avec quelles conséquences au juste pour la diversité culturelle ? Pour certains, la mondialisation conduirait à l'homogénéisation, à l'effacement des identités locales sous le poids de modèles imposés par les pays riches et par l'essor des moyens de communication. Pour d'autres, notre époque hypermoderne serait caractérisée par la fragmentation et la diversification des formes d'expression qui se développent par métissage, réaffirmation des cultures régionales ou réaction communautariste. Un ouvrage clair qui fait le point sur la question de la diversité culturelle, les débats et les enjeux qu'elle suscite.

Download or read book CIUTI Forum Paris 2005 written by Conférence internationale permanente d'instituts universitaires de traducteurs et interprètes and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2006 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Notre époque se caractérise d'une part par l'éclatement des domaines économiques, financiers et technologiques et, d'autre part, par une fragmentation culturelle grandissante ayant pour résultat une perception et un maintien plus poussés des différences culturelles. L'accent mis de nos jours sur les aspects culturels conduit bien souvent à des malentendus et empêche de ce fait, dans de nombreux cas, la compréhension qui est sensée être établie. Dans ce contexte, la communication interculturelle prend une importance grandissante et ce, dans quasi tous les domaines. Traducteurs et interprètes peuvent alors pleinement jouer leur rôle de médiateurs dès lors qu'ils possèdent une formation professionnelle et académique adéquate qui doit obligatoirement tenir compte de ces nouvelles données. Dans le cadre du Forum de la CIUTI de 2005, les différents aspects du choc des civilisations, tel que Huntington (1996) l'a décrit, et du rôle des traducteurs et interprètes dans la triade « culture, communication et traduction », sont examinés dans quatre volets différents. Le multiculturalisme en tant que défi à la communication, la diversité culturelle et la paix, ou encore à la mondialisation culturelle avec ses défis et ses perspectives y jouent un rôle prépondérant.

This book was released on 2015-09-10 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Critical Perspectives on Conflict in Caribbean Societies of the Late 20th and Early 21st Centuries intervenes to enrich existing scholarship on postcolonial Caribbean literature and art. Using interdisciplinary, cultural studies and Caribbean cultural studies methodologies, in addition to more classical literary readings of works, this book adopts a fresh approach to conflict, bringing a variety of new perspectives to the analysis of conflict dynamics in the Caribbean. Focusing on issues of the late 20th and early 21st centuries, as well as on contemporary representation and analysis of conflict related to other periods in the development of Caribbean societies, this volume provides explorations of conflict in the Caribbean region, in the transnational relationships between this region and North America, and in the transcolonial relationships between the French Caribbean and France. This bi-lingual publication will particularly appeal to scholars and students of Caribbean Literature in English and French, Postcolonial and African Diasporic Literatures and Cultures, Feminist Literary Studies, and Contemporary Art Studies. Critical Perspectives on Conflict in Caribbean Societies of the Late 20th and Early 21st Centuries offers studies of recent fiction and works of art by established and emerging Caribbean writers and artists. In addition, as articles are dedicated to discussions of particular authors, such as Earl Lovelace, Ramabai Espinet, Edwidge Danticat, Raphaël Confiant, Patrick Chamoiseau, Gerty Dambury, and Gisèle Pineau, the range of perspectives found in this volume covers fiction published by male and female writers from both the Francophone and Anglophone Caribbean.
