Tecnologías de la comunicación

As novas tecnologias da comunicação – nomeadamente, as digitais – provocaram alterações ao nível da mobilidade e da fruição individuais, colocando o receptor no papel de um interveniente activo em situações de escolha e mesmo de produção de conteúdos: sons, imagens e textos. No âmbito da corrente da domesticação, central nestas páginas, este novo cenário veio acentuar a tónica da metáfora domesticação no seu sentido mais lato – na acepção de capacidade de adaptação a novas situações e novos contextos, quer pelas tecnologias, quer pelos utilizadores –, em detrimento do significado que se liga ao uso das tecnologias no espaço doméstico. Mais do que nunca, vivemos com tecnologias da comunicação que nos permitem transportar o lar connosco; a sua utilização produz, com frequência, um efeito de ‘bolha’ confortável. É revelada, assim, uma forma de protecção em relação ao Outro – não necessariamente uma forma de isolamento –, que nos resguarda de não vermos o Outro, num tempo em que nunca estamos incontactáveis e nos encontramos demasiado próximos para vermos e sermos vistos. Fazendo uso das próprias características das tecnologias que instalam as ligações ininterruptas, é legítimo e necessário o exercício de domesticação que envolve a acção do indivíduo e as suas tecnologias na prossecução desse objectivo.

Social media allow ideas to be shared. They are places where people can unite, Revolutions can begin. A new type of Revolution – Revolution 2.1

Wael Ghonim used to be a man unwilling to publicly criticise the Egyptian regime. Like many, he was silenced by the fear of reprisals.

But in January 2011 Wael decided he had seen too much oppression go unchallenged and started a Facebook page calling for the people to protest. It became a rallying-point for revolution and Egyptians took to the streets, while Wael was held by security forces for a horrifying 11 days.

In an attempt to quell the revolution the government moved to shut down the internet, fearful of its ability to mobilise the people. It was too late; the people were no longer afraid of making themselves heard.

Revolution 2.0 is a unique insider’s story from the heart of the Egyptian Spring. Wael Ghonim gives unparalleled insight into why the Egyptian people finally rejected 30 years of oppression and found a voice.

En su nuevo libro Alejandro Suárez Sánchez-Ocaña desvela cada uno de los secretos que Google no quiere que sepamos: cómo y con qué herramientas domina el mercado publicitario mundial, la letra pequeña que se esconde detrás de servicios como Google Books, YouTube o Street View, cómo opera de forma opaca desde paraísos fiscales, sus prácticas monopolistas contra la competencia, qué beneficios obtiene de todas las aplicaciones que ofrece de forma supuestamente gratuita o a qué acuerdos llegó con el gobierno chino para poder operar en su territorio, entre otras reveladoras evidencias.

En este libro descubrirás las realidades que Google intenta mantener ocultas y conocerás mejor algunas de las tácticas, sorprendentes y agresivas, de una empresa que, posiblemente, ya lo sabe todo sobre ti.

Asimismo, tras su lectura, serás capaz de contestar a preguntas tales como: ¿durante cuánto tiempo mantiene tus datos y qué hace con ellos?, o bien, ¿cómo pagas los servicios que, en teoría, usas gratuitamente?.

Dungeons, Dragons, and Digital Denizens is a collection of scholarly essays that seeks to represent the far-reaching scope and implications of digital role-playing games as both cultural and academic artifacts. As a genre, digital role playing games have undergone constant and radical revision, pushing not only multiple boundaries of game development, but also the playing strategies and experiences of players.

Divided into three distinct sections, this premiere volume captures the distinctiveness of different game types, the forms of play they engender and their social and cultural implications. Contributors examine a range of games, from classics like Final Fantasy to blockbusters like World of Warcraft to obscure genre bending titles like Lux Pain. Working from a broad range of disciplines such as ecocritism, rhetoric, performance, gender, and communication, these essays yield insights that enrich the field of game studies and further illuminate the cultural, psychological and philosophical implications of a society that increasingly produces, plays and discourses about role playing games.

With the rise of web 2.1 and social media platforms taking over vast tracts of territory on the internet, the media landscape has shifted drastically in the past 20 years, transforming previously stable relationships between media creators and consumers. The Social Media Reader is the first collection to address the collective transformation with pieces on social media, peer production, copyright politics, and other aspects of contemporary internet culture from all the major thinkers in the field.

Culling a broad range and incorporating different styles of scholarship from foundational pieces and published articles to unpublished pieces, journalistic accounts, personal narratives from blogs, and whitepapers, The Social Media Reader promises to be an essential text, with contributions from Lawrence Lessig, Henry Jenkins, Clay Shirky, Tim O'Reilly, Chris Anderson, Yochai Benkler, danah boyd, and Fred von Loehmann, to name a few. It covers a wide-ranging topical terrain, much like the internet itself, with particular emphasis on collaboration and sharing, the politics of social media and social networking, Free Culture and copyright politics, and labor and ownership. Theorizing new models of collaboration, identity, commerce, copyright, ownership, and labor, these essays outline possibilities for cultural democracy that arise when the formerly passive audience becomes active cultural creators, while warning of the dystopian potential of new forms of surveillance and control.

Estudio completo sobre la figura de Julian Assange y Wikileaks, sus luces y sus sombras, pero con las informaciones presentadas sin presión ni prejuicios, ofreciendo las piezas que faltaban para entender el mundo y lo que en él ocurre. Como un culebrón de espionaje internacional, las filtraciones de Wikileaks suman un nuevo capítulo cada día. En esta búsqueda por recoger información veraz y por intentar entender el fenómeno, todavía en evolución, es en la que se ubica Bruno Cardeñosa.

This book discusses the international legal issues underlying Internet Governance and proposes an international solution to its problems. The book encompasses a wide spectrum of current debate surrounding the governance of the internet and focuses on the areas and issues which urgently require attention from the international community in order to sustain the proper functioning of the global network that forms the foundation of our information fuelled society. Among the topics discussed are international copyright protection, state responsibility for cyber-attacks (cyberterrorism), and international on-line privacy protection.

Taking a comparative approach by examining how different jurisdictions such as the United States, the European Union, China and Singapore have attempted various solutions to the problem of Internet Governance, the author offers a practical solution to the problem and is a proponent of International Internet Law. Kulesza suggests that just as in the case of International Environmental Law, an Internet Framework Convention could shape the starting point for international cooperation and lead to a clear, contractual division of state jurisdictional competences.

International Internet Law is of particular interest to legal scholars engaged with the current challenges in international law and international relations, as well as students of law, international relations and political science. The issues discussed in the book are also relevant to journalists and other media professionals, facing the challenges of analyzing current international developments in cyberspace.
