Michalina Seekamp untersucht die Ursachen der Anpassungsträgheit der deutschen Musikindustrie im Angesicht disruptiver Technologien. Mittels einer empirischen Untersuchung weist sie nach, dass dieses im Extremfall existenzgefährdende Verhalten durch eine homogene Branchenkultur ausgelöst wird, deren zugrundeliegendes Weltbild die Akteure bei Unsicherheit dazu verleitet, auf bewährte Strategien zurückzugreifen. Um eine dynamische Adaption an technologischen Wandel zu fördern, empfiehlt sie verschiedene Maßnahmen und beleuchtet diese kritisch. Die gefundenen Ergebnisse der Untersuchung sowie die Handlungsempfehlungen haben in gleichem Maße auch für andere Branchen Relevanz, die mit den Auswirkungen neuer Technologien kämpfen. Der Inhalt Das Verhalten der Musikbranche bei technologischem Wandel Die Branche – Markt, Unternehmen, Umwelt Trägheit von Organisationen Branchenkultur als eigene Emergenzebene Gestalt und Wirkung der Branchenkultur der deutschen Musikunternehmen Handlungsempfehlungen und weiterer Forschungsbedarf Die Zielgruppen • Dozierende und Studierende der Wirtschafts-, Medien- und Kulturwissenschaften • Praktiker aus der Musik- und Medienindustrie Die Autorin Michalina Seekamp sammelte als Key Account Manager in einem internationalen Musikunternehmen Kenntnisse über die deutsche Musikindustrie. Heute arbeitet sie als Sales Manager bei einem globalen Technologieunternehmen und hat parallel zu ihrer beruflichen Tätigkeit die vorliegende Dissertation erarbeitet.

Claude Draude analyzes embodied software agents – interface solutions that are designed to talk back and give emotional feedback – from a gender and media studies perspective. She addresses technological and sociocultural concepts in their interplay of shifting the boundary between what is considered as human and what as machine. The author discusses the technological realization of specific personality models that define the design of embodied software agents – emotion and gaze models, in particular. Finally, she explores these models in their broader cultural context by relating them to the prominent topic of the Turing test and the notion of the Uncanny Valley. Contents The Human-Computer Interface Semiotic Mirrors: The Interface as a Place of Sign/Signal Mediating Embodiment: The Role of the Body, Gaze Behavior and Emotions Counting as Machine, Counting as Human Target Groups Researchers and students in the fields of media studies, computer science, cultural studies, gender studies, sociology The Author Prof. Dr. Claude Draude is head of the department for Gender/Diversity in Informatics Systems (GeDIS) at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering/Computing at the University of Kassel, Germany.

This timely and engaging book addresses communicative issues that arise when science and technology travel across socio-cultural boundaries. The authors discuss interactions between different scientific communities; scientists and policy-makers; science and the public; scientists and artists; and other situations where science clashes with other socio-cultural domains. The volume includes theoretical proposals of how to deal with intercultural communication related to science and technology, as well as rich case studies that illustrate the challenges and strategies deployed in these situations. Individual studies explore Europe, Latin America, and Africa, thus including diverse Global North and South contexts.

This book describes and understands the many factors that influence a person’s behavior towards digital technologies, and how that affects the person’s potential to benefit from digital society. The ability to adapt to these new technological environments - and the extent to which an individual embraces them - has become critical to an individual’s well-being and quality of life, the underlying assumption being that only by effectively engaging with digital technologies can the user accrue benefits from the experience. By introducing the concept “digital capital,” which refers to the conditions that determine how people access, use, and engage with digital technology, Park examines how the digital ecosystem of the user lead to new forms of digital inequality. Using numerous empirical studies on internet users and non-users, as well as recommending small localized solutions to the big global problem, a critical and alternative perspective of the digital divide is provided.

This book investigates the global hub airport as an exemplar of cosmopolitan culture and space. A machine made for movement, itself perched at the crossroads of the world’s incessant mobility, the airport is both a symbol of and stage for the ways in which we construct and inhabit the world today. Taking an ethnographically-inflected approach, this study brings together knowledge of the moving body from dance and performance and the study of systems of mobility within cultural and mobilities studies, in order to call attention to the kinaesthetic experience of global space. What is the choreography of the global airport? How does it perform on us. How do we perform within it? Extending thinking about contemporary cosmopolitanism and cultural identity, and the performativity of places and identities, this book is essential reading for those interested in cultural debates around globalisation, the innovative application of performance theory towards everyday experience, and interdisciplinary methodologies.

This book efficiently contributes to our understanding of the interplay between data, technology and communicative practice on the one hand, and democratic participation on the other. It addresses the emergence of proactive data activism, a new sociotechnical phenomenon in the field of action that arises as a reaction to massive datafication, and makes affirmative use of data for advocacy and social change. By blending empirical observation and in-depth qualitative interviews, Gutiérrez brings to the fore a debate about the social uses of the data infrastructure and examines precisely how people employ it, in combination with other technologies, to collaborate and act for social change.

This pivot offers an innovative, trans-local perspective on performance studies in the era of digital technology, considering a range of content from theater to opera, film, dance, and musical theatre. It examines theatre performing arts and film in terms of aesthetics, gender studies, and identity politics, and showcases the value of human accomplishments in theatre and film and their representative artistic works. It also addresses key issues within performance studies, such as gender, class, race, ethnicity, identity, and how minorities portray their ethnicity stories. This book links the trans-national and the trans-local and considers how emerging mobile geographies and new methodologies of interpreting performance in theatre and film reflect the transformations of our understanding of geopolitical time and space.

This collection of essays engages with a wide range of disciplines including art, performance, film and literature, to examine the myriad effects of contemporary surveillance on our cultural psyche. The volume expertly articulates the manner in which cultural productions have been complicit in watching, seeing and purporting to ‘know’ race. In our increasingly mediated world, our sense of community is becoming progressively virtual, and surveillant technologies impact upon subjectivity, resulting in multiple forms of artistic and cultural expression. As such, art, film, and literature provide a lens for the reflection of sociocultural concerns. In Surveillance, Race, Culture Flynn and Mackay skilfully draw together a diverse range of contributions to investigate the fundamental question of exactly how surveillant technologies have informed our notions of race, identity and belonging. .
