Nobuyoshi Araki (1941), posiblemente el fotógrafo vivo más relevante de Japón –y sin duda el más polémico–, pone en jaque las convenciones artísticas y sociales del Japón de la posguerra con referencias a una tradición plagada de comedimiento, mercantilismo y erotismo. Esta edición abreviada contiene las obras más importantes de Araki, como Sentimental Journey (1971), Winter Journey (1991) y Erotos (1993)
Have the media contributed to exacerbating the political, cultural and religious divides within Western societies and the world at large? How can media be deployed to enrich, not inhibit, dialogue? To what extent has the media, in all its forms, questioned, celebrated or simply accepted the unleashing of a 'war on terror'?
Media and Terrorism brings together leading scholars to explore how the world's media have influenced, and in turn, been influenced by terrorism and the war on terror in the aftermath of 9/11. Accessible and user-friendly with lively and current case studies, it is a perfect student text and is an essential handbook on the dynamics of war and the media in a global context.
Durante os últimos três anos reuniram-se em Lisboa doze investigadores
para discutir a crise iniciada em 2108. Os participantes
escolheram designar esses encontros por Rede Aftermath
(“rescaldo”), expressando nesse nome as suas certezas e
dúvidas sobre a crise, a sua génese, as suas metamorfoses e culturas
nas diferentes geografias e sociedades. Este grupo foi coordenado
por João Caraça, Manuel Castells e Gustavo Cardoso
e teve no apoio financeiro da Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian e
no suporte do CIES-IUL as suas estruturas operacionais.
A ideia fundamental que presidiu às reflexões e propostas de
análise do grupo foi a de que a actual crise económica é umponto
final num certo tipo de capitalismo. Mais do que isso, é improvável
que regressemos ao mesmo modelo de organização
económica e social anterior a 2008, mesmo se a economia global
repousar depois de um período de reestruturação. E, portanto,
levanta-se uma questão fundamental: como viver num sistema
económico diferente enquanto se mantêm os modelos culturais
que fizeram parte deummodelo global de capitalismo alicerçado
no mundo financeiro? E emparticular, como viver numa cultura
consumista quando os bens de consumo se tornam de acesso
cada vez mais limitado à maioria da população? Haverá vida
depois do consumismo? E se sim, que tipo de vida? Que tipo de
cultura? Que tipo de sociedade? […]
The web is an ever-changing medium whose scope, application, audience and platform continue to grow on a daily basis. If you’ve worked on the web for any amount of time, you’ve likely heard or even used the term “progressive enhancement.” Since the term’s inception, it has been considered a best practice for approaching web design. But what is it really? And how do we reconcile its meaning with the rapid evolution of the languages and browsers we rely on to do our jobs?
In this brief book, Aaron Gustafson chronicles the origins of progressive enhancement, its philosophy, and mechanisms, and reveals the countless practical ways that you can apply progressive enhancement principles using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. By understanding progressive enhancement and how to apply it properly, web practitioners can craft experiences that serve users (rather than browsers), giving them access to content without technological restrictions.
"Docencia y Comunicación en Latinoamérica" es una nueva publicación de Grupo DIRCOM (su tercer libro) que reúne la palabra de diferentes expertos en materia de formación en comunicación. provenientes de facultades de comunicación.
El libro se transforma en una propuesta multicultural por ser la compilación de textos escritos por distintos autores docentes Latinoamericanos que, a partir de sus propias experiencias, presentan sus tesis sobre la situación actual de la educación comunicacional en nuestro continente. Bajo esta perspectiva Francisco Paco Cardona, compilador del libro, explica que “Latinoamérica es una región con brillos y contrastes en educación, sin embargo aquí encontrará una aportación sobre el rumbo de la comunicación en nuestros países uniéndonos como hermanos latinoamericanos dirigidos al crecimiento personal y profesional”.

Understanding the military logics that created and continue to inform computer games.
To understand the place of computer games in contemporary culture, Patrick Crogan argues, we must first understand the military logics that created and continue to inform them. Drawing on critical theoretical perspectives on computer-based technoculture, Crogan reveals how today’s computer games—and the wider culture they increasingly influence—are informed by the technoscientific program they inherited from the military-industrial complex.
It is difficult to argue that we as a society are obsessed with technology. Many of our relationships, whether with art, literature or each other are now maintained primarily through one digital interface or another.
Tantalizing new platforms are continuously appearing in the marketplace offering more features than their predecessors. The usual outcome is the forced obsolescence of these previous systems. And yet in art and design, there has been a shift in recent years towards the fruits of more “lo-fi” processes, a distinct need for a personal component and the expressiveness that normally only a human hand can evoke.
Vector graphics have weathered this current backlash taking pride of place alongside the fruits of more handmade techniques. The sources of inspiration often remain the same, whether a nod to popular culture or an homage to nostalgia. The execution is precise and original, with a unique capacity for pattern and color and a great versatility of scale.
Vectorism examines the state of contemporary vector graphics and its continuing relevance in the design world.
I've been in media for more years than I would ideally like to remember. Since the
age of 13 I’ve been writing, producing, reporting and hosting everything from
newspaper articles to tv reports to radio shows. In 2105 I left for the life of a format
developer.
The past couple of years might have been the most exciting in my professional
life. I love doing radio and writing articles and producing television, but utilizing the
powers of a connected multiplatform media landscape, drawing on transmedia
storytelling methods, learning from a lot of great people all around the world and
taking part of so many brilliant projects… it’s a whole different and very enjoyable
ballpark.
To come to grips with my thoughs and jot them down for further reference, I
started blogging about my development work, my thoughts on transmedia, some of
the talks I’d listened to and ideas that had been put to me. I also thought that if
someone else could find something of essence in my writing or find something in my
experiences that would help them in their work, it would be a truly beautiful thing. So,
without (hopefully) breaching any NDAs, I’ve written some 70-odd posts on these
subjects to date. […]
A TV é, sobretudo, espectáculo. Já o sabemos. Mas a TV informativa precisa de ser mais do que o país e o mundo em cena. Precisa de anunciar, mas também explicar o que se passa. Precisa de montar palcos com interlocutores diversificados que acrescentem valor àquilo que é debatido nos estúdios de informação. Precisa de instalar portas de entrada abertas à participação de todos aqueles que podem integrar de forma significativa o processo de produção de noticiabilidade.
How do parents and children care for each other when they are separated because of migration? The way in which transnational families maintain long-distance relationships has been revolutionised by the emergence of new media such as email, instant messaging, social networking sites, webcam and texting. A migrant mother can now call and text her left-behind children several times a day, peruse social networking sites and leave the webcam for 12 hours achieving a sense of co-presence.
Drawing on a long-term ethnographic study of prolonged separation between migrant mothers and their children who remain in the Philippines, this book develops groundbreaking theory for understanding both new media and the nature of mediated relationships. It brings together the perspectives of both the mothers and children and shows how the very nature of family relationships is changing. New media, understood as an emerging environment of polymedia, have become integral to the way family relationships are enacted and experienced. The theory of polymedia extends beyond the poignant case study and is developed as a major contribution for understanding the interconnections between digital media and interpersonal relationships.
