This book explores Black British dance from a number of previously-untold perspectives. Bringing together the voices of dance-artists, scholars, teachers and choreographers, it looks at a range of performing arts from dancehall to ballet, providing valuable insights into dance theory, performance, pedagogy, identity and culture. It challenges the presumption that Blackness, Britishness or dance are monolithic entities, instead arguing that all three are living networks created by rich histories, diverse faces and infinite future possibilities. Through a variety of critical and creative essays, this book suggests a widening of our conceptions of what Black British dance looks like, where it appears, and who is involved in its creation.

Als IT-Experte bei stern TV erhält Tobias Schrödel immer wieder Hilferufe von Menschen, ob er Zugang zu Daten auf Handys oder sonstigen elektronischen Geräten verschaffen kann - auch zu digitalen Inhalten von Toten. Als ihn eines Tages eine sehr berührende Nachricht von Daniela erreicht und er seine Unterstützung zusagt, ahnt er noch nicht, welche Konsequenzen das Thema "Tod und Daten" für ihn mit sich bringt. Wie soll man mit digitalen Daten nach dem Tod umgehen? Einerseits erklären Erben die Notwendigkeit, die digitale Hinterlassenschaft zu lesen, andererseits besteht der (unausgesprochene) Wunsch der Verstorbenen nach Privatsphäre. Tobias Schrödel nähert sich vorsichtig und umsichtig diesem kritischen Thema und spricht u.a. mit einem Juristen, Pfarrer und Kommunikationsexperten. Findet er damit eine Lösung für seinen verzwickten Fall? Dieses Buch soll und kann keine 1:1-Anleitung im Umgang mit Daten nach dem Tod liefern, ebenso keine juristische Beratung. Es soll die (teils gegensätzlichen) Ansichten verschiedener Standpunkte darstellen. Die digitale Welt um uns herum ist schon längst im Leben angekommen – sie stellt uns nun aber auch nach dem Tod eines Menschen vor ungeahnte Herausforderungen und Überlegungen. Tobias Schrödel ist Fachinformatiker und als IT-Experte für stern TV regelmäßig im TV zu sehen. Mit seinen Live-Hacking-Vorträgen zum Thema IT-Sicherheit ist er auf der ganzen Welt unterwegs. Sein erstes Buch „Hacking für Manager“ gewann 2011 den getAbstract International Book Award.

This book explores the impact of the print and broadcast media on public knowledge and understanding of the 2008 Great Financial Crisis. It represents the first systemic attempt to analyse how mass media influenced public opinion and political events during this key period in Britain's economic history. To do this, the book combines analysis of media content, focus groups with members of the public and interviews with leading news journalists and editors in order to unpack the production, content and reception of economic news. From the banking crisis to the debate over Britain's public deficit, this book explores the key role of the press and broadcasting in shaping public understanding and legitimating austerity through both short and long term patterns of media socialisation.

The Semiotics of Love brings together work on early symbolism, literary practices, and contemporary communication on the theme of romance and the idea of love to forge an understanding of the semiotic-cultural side of romance. Moving beyond psychological and neuroscientific scholarly analyses of love, Marcel Danesi works to interrogate the cultural constructions of love across societies. This book analyzes romantic love from the general perspective of semiotics—that is, from its more generic interpretive angle, rather than its more technical one. The specific analytical lens used is based on the notion that we convert our feeling structures into sign structures (words, symbols) and sign-based constructions (texts, rituals, etc.), which then allow us to reflect upon something cognitively, rather than just experience it physically and emotionally.

Podcasting: New Aural Cultures and Digital Media is the first comprehensive interdisciplinary collection of academic research exploring the definition, status, practices and implications of podcasting through a Media and Cultural Studies lens. By bringing together research from experienced and early career academics alongside audio and creative practitioners, the chapters in this volume span a range of approaches in a timely reaction to podcasting’s zeitgeist moment. In conceptualizing the podcast, the contributors examine its liminal status between the mechanics of ‘old’ and ‘new’ media and between differing production contexts, in addition to podcasting’s reliance on mainstream industrial structures whilst retaining an alternative, even outsider, sensibility. In the present tumult of online media discourse, the contributors frame podcasting as indicative of a ‘new aural culture’ emerging from an identifiable set of industrial, technological and cultural circumstances. The analyses in this collection offer a range of interpretations which begin to open avenues for further research into a distinct Podcast Studies.
