Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Digital information, particularly for online newsgathering and reporting, is an industry fraught with uncertainty and rapid innovation. Digital Information Ecosystems: Smart Press crosses academic knowledge with research by media groups to understand this evolution and analyze the future of the sector, including the imminent employment of bots and artificial intelligence. The book adopts an original and multidisciplinary approach to this topic: combining the science of media economics with the experience of a practicing journalist of a major daily newspaper. The result is an essential guide to the opportunities of the media to respond to a changing global digital landscape. Independent news reporting is vital in the contemporary democracy; the media must itself become a new “smart press”.
Download or read book Ne cherchez pas comprendre dansez seulement written by Mahesse Kolé and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2023-10-22 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At a time when Côte d’Ivoire was experiencing a military-political crisis and was split in two (2002), the Coupé-Décalé appeared as a real innovation in the Ivorian musical universe. It caused a “sensation” with cultural practices, a dress code, choreographic concepts and musical forms that were atypical of the time. While pre-existing genres, such as Reggae, Hip Hop and Zuglou, are positioned as “committed” music, Coupé-Décalé, on the other hand, is in a completely different register: that of bringing joy, setting the mood, forgetting the sad reality of this difficult period. Nearly two decades later, the Coupé-Décalé continues to enjoy great popularity among a community of fans who are sensitive to the ideology promoted and the social practices that derive from it. This study develops a reflection on the Coupé-Décalé, a form of cultural mediation that consolidates a subcultural identity. It aims first to show the pictorial and imagined representations of the youth subculture through musical content, then to examine the actors, practices and interactions that lead to the development of the musical work, and finally, to demonstrate how the public and the producers, through the reception of the music and the identification with the Coupé-Décalé, constitute a subculture. In short, the Coupé-Décalé is a subcultural identity. It specifies a new relationship to politics, to social norms and, above all, a quest for pleasure, endangerment and amusement. Au moment où la Côte d’Ivoire connaît une crise militaro-politique et est coupée en deux (2002), le Coupé- Décalé apparaît comme une véritable innovation dans l’univers musical ivoirien. Il fait “ sensation” avec des pratiques culturelles, un code vestimentaire, des concepts chorégraphiques et des formes musicales atypiques à l’époque. Pendant que les genres préexistants notamment le Reggae, le Hip Hop et le Zouglou se positionnent comme des musiques “engagées”, le Coupé-Décalé, quant à lui, s’inscrit dans un tout autre registre : celui d’apporter de la joie, de mettre de l’ambiance, d’oublier la triste réalité de cette période difficile. Près de deux décennies plus tard, le Coupé-Décalé continue de jouir d’une grande popularité auprès d’une communauté de fans sensibles à l’idéologie promue et aux pratiques sociales qui en découlent. Cette étude développe une réflexion sur le Coupé-Décalé, une forme de médiation culturelle qui consolide une identité sous-culturelle. Elle veut d’abord montrer les représentations imagées et imaginées de la sous- culture jeune à travers les contenus musicaux, ensuite examiner les acteurs, pratiques et interactions qui conduisent à l’élaboration de l’œuvre musicale, et enfin, démontrer en quoi le public et les producteurs, à travers la réception de la musique et l’identification au Coupé-Décalé, constituent une sous-culture. En définitive, le Coupé-Décalé constitue une identité sous-culturelle. Il précise un nouveau rapport au politique, aux normes sociales et surtout une quête vers le plaisir, l’enjaillement et l’amusement.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Digitalization is a long socio-historic process in which all areas of societys activities are reconfigured. In the first volume of Digitalization of Society and Socio-political Issues, there is an examination of the transformations linked to the development of digital platforms and social media which affect cultural and communicational industries. The book also analyzes the formation of Big Data, their algorithmic processing and the societal changes which result from them (social monitoring and control in particular). Through diverse critical reflections, it equally presents different ways that digital participates in relations of power and domination, and contributes to eventual emancipatory practices. Following on, the second volume examines the transformations that are linked to digital practices that affect the production, circulation and consumption of information, as well as new forms that are taken by social mobilizations. It treats several important issues in the digital era that are more likely to become the subject of public debates, among which one can include the renewed relationship between research and digital. Through diverse critical reflections, it equally presents different ways that digital participates in relations of power and domination, and contributes to eventual emancipatory practices.
Download or read book Media Sociology written by Silvio Waisbord and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2014-06-13 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Where is sociology in contemporary media studies? How do sociological questions and arguments shape media analysis? These are the questions addressed in this timely collection on media sociology. Sociology was fundamental in defining the analytical boundaries of early media studies, from the study of news and communities to media effects and public opinion, in the first half of the last century. Since then, media sociology has experienced significant changes that have led to new theoretical questions and thematic priorities. This book aims to reassess the past and present relationship between media studies and sociology. With original contributions from leading scholars, Media Sociology: A Reappraisal examines the significance of sociology for the study of media economics, industries, news, audiences, journalism, and digital technologies, and the links between media and race, gender, and class. As a whole, this much-needed volume takes a retrospective view to trace the evolution of media sociology and assess current research directions.

Download or read book Conflict and Multimodal Communication written by Francesca D'Errico and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-03-17 with total page 485 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the use of technology to detect, predict and understand social cues, in order to analyze and prevent conflict. Traditional human sciences approaches are enriched with the latest developments in Social Signal Processing aimed at an automatic understanding of conflict and negotiation. Communication—both verbal and non-verbal, within the context of a conflict—is studied with the aim of promoting the use of intelligent machines that automatically measure and understand the escalation of conflict, and are able to manage it, in order to support the negotiation process. Particular attention is paid to the integration of human sciences findings with computational approaches, from the application of correct methodologies for the collection of valid data to the development of computational approaches inspired by research on verbal and multimodal communication. In the words of the trade unionist Pierre Carniti, "We should reevaluate conflict, since without conflict there is no social justice." With this in mind, this volume does not approach conflict simply as an obstacle to be overcome, but as a concept to be fully analyzed. The philosophical, linguistic and psychological aspects of conflict, once understood, can be used to promote conflict management as a means for change and social justice.
