Abstract

"Today, social media offers an alternative broadcast and communication medium for nonprofit advocacy organizations. At the same time, social media has created a "noisy" environment that renders it more difficult for nonprofits to make their voices heard. Operating in an information-saturated landscape, populated by an audience with limited attention, organizations are struggling to effectively grab and hold onto their supporters and the general public. In The Quest for Attention, Chao Guo and Gregory D. Saxton argue that "attention" is a key intermediate goal and an important resource for advocacy organizations to effectively promote their causes. Synthesizing research, including much of the authors' own, this book discusses the challenges, strategies, and consequences of attention advocacy as organizations work to bring awareness to their struggle, tighten ties with their communities, and mobilize constituents for collective action, both online and off"--

Abstract

"The internet has become a principal venue for social interaction. Young people are growing up in a world surrounded by technology that could have only been imagined a generation ago. Social media have crafted a landscape that has made connection with others easy. Yet this rise has become a concern. So, what is happening here? Why is it so compelling to use social media? Why is it difficult to quit social media? What impact can social media have on teenagers, their education, and their well-being? Should we be worried? What can be done to help? Psychologist's Guide to Adolescents and Social Media aims to deliver a deeper understanding regarding the psychology of social media, both positive and negative. This guide is divided into four parts. The reader will be guided through the purposes and merits of social media, the unintended consequences of using social media, author conducted research exploring the experiences of adolescent-aged school children, and what can be done to help those struggling with the overuse of social media, including assessment resources."--Provided by publisher.

Abstract

"With many new forms of digital media--including such popular social media as Facebook, Twitter, and Flickr -- the people formerly known as the audience no longer only consume but also produce and even design media. Jonas Löwgren and Bo Reimer term this phenomenon collaborative media, and in this book they investigate the qualities and characteristics of these forms of media in terms of what they enable people to do. They do so through an interdisciplinary research approach that combines the social sciences and humanities traditions of empirical and theoretical work with practice-based, design-oriented interventions. Löwgren and Reimer offer analysis and a series of illuminating case studies -- examples of projects in collaborative media that range from small multidisciplinary research experiments to commercial projects used by millions of people. Löwgren and Reimer discuss the case studies at three levels of analysis: society and the role of collaborative media in societal change; institutions and the relationship of collaborative media with established media structures; and tribes, the nurturing of small communities within a large technical infrastructure. They conclude by advocating an interventionist turn within social analysis and media design."

Abstract

Il y a toujours eu des fausses nouvelles. De simples erreurs, des canulars ou, plus sérieusement, de la désinformation. Mais le phénomène se présente aujourd?hui sous un nouveau jour. À cause de la prolifération des messages que permettent les réseaux sociaux, l?effet est viral. Comment, dans cet univers en réseau, les citoyens peuvent-ils s?assurer de la véracité des informations qui leur sont transmises?? Les mécanismes qui permettaient leur validation dans le monde des médias traditionnels semblent appartenir à une autre époque. Les journalistes doivent-ils repenser leur rôle?? Peut-on faire confiance à Facebook qui dit multiplier les efforts pour débusquer les faussetés sur sa plateforme?? Que faut-il attendre des chercheurs ? L?État a-t-il un rôle à jouer?? Comment les critères du vrai et du faux se définissent-ils?? Bref, comment déterminer la valeur de l?information dans les sociétés démocratiques?? C?est la question essentielle que pose le problème des fausses nouvelles. Bron : http://www.pulaval.com

Abstract

EVALITA is the evaluation campaign of Natural Language Processing and Speech Tools for the Italian language: since 2007 shared tasks have been proposed covering the analysis of both written and spoken language with the aim of enhancing the development and dissemination of resources and technologies for Italian. EVALITA is an initiative of the Italian Association for Computational Linguistics (AILC, http://www.ai-lc.it/) and it is supported by the NLP Special Interest Group of the Italian Association for Artificial Intelligence (AI*IA, http://www.aixia.it/) and by the Italian Association of Speech Science (AISV, http://www.aisv.it/). In this volume, we collect the reports of the tasks’ organisers and of the participants to all of the EVALITA 2016’s tasks, which are the following: ArtiPhone - Articulatory Phone Recognition; FactA - Event Factuality Annotation; NEEL-IT - Named Entity rEcognition and Linking in Italian Tweets; PoSTWITA - POS tagging for Italian Social Media Texts; QA4FAQ - Question Answering for Frequently Asked Questions; SENTIPOLC - SENTIment POLarity Classification. Notice that the volume does not include reports related to the IBM Watson Services Challenge organised by IBM Italy, but information can be found at http://www.evalita.it/2016/tasks/ibm-challenge. Before the task and participant reports, we also include an overview to the campaign that describes the tasks in more detail, provides figures on the participants, and, especially, highlights the innovations introduced at this year’s edition. An additional report presents a reflection on the outcome of two questionnaires filled by past participants and organisers of EVALITA, and of the panel “Raising Interest and Collecting Suggestions on the EVALITA Evaluation Campaign” held at CLIC-it 2015.

Abstract

"Social media's connectivity is often thought to be a manifestation of human nature buried until now, revealed only through the diverse technologies of the participatory internet. Rather than embrace this view, Inhuman Networks: Social Media and the Archaeology of Connection argues that the human nature revealed by social media imagines network technology and data as models for behavior online. Covering a wide range of historical and interdisciplinary subjects, Grant Bollmer examines the emergence of "the network" as a model for relation in the 1700s and 1800s and follows it through marginal, often forgotten articulations of technology, biology, economics, and the social. From this history, Bollmer examines contemporary controversies surrounding social media, extending out to the influence of network models on issues of critical theory, politics, popular science, and neoliberalism. By moving through the past and present of network media, Inhuman Networks demonstrates how contemporary network culture unintentionally repeats debates over the limits of Western modernity to provide an idealized future where "the human" is interchangeable with abstract, flowing data connected through well-managed, distributed networks. "-- "Examines how "the human" is produced in relation to technological changes, foregrounding the necessity of theoretical and archaeological perspectives for understanding contemporary media culture"--

Abstract

In Playful Identities, eighteen scholars examine the increasing role of digital media technologies in identity construction through play. Going beyond computer games, this interdisciplinary collection argues that present-day play and games are not only appropriate metaphors for capturing postmodern human identities, but are in fact the means by which people create their identity. From discussions of World of Warcraft and Foursquare to digital cartographies, the combined essays form a groundbreaking volume that features the most recent insights in play and game studies, media research, and identity studies.
