Digital Technologies, Degrowth, and Radical Abundance

Global Indigenous Literatures

Indigenous Media Ecologies explores some of the impacts that Indigenous peoples have had on media innovations and changes by repurposing Western print and digital technologies. The contributors to this volume, a set of international Indigenous studies scholars, consider Indigenous media ecologies as an assemblage of formal, material, and affective inscriptions that depend not only on Indigenous writers, editors, readers, activists, and tribal community networks but also on Western technology and Indigenous craftmanship. Indigenous media ecologies are complex, hybrid, and multifaceted; they affect human life environments and demonstrate Indigenous peoples' involvement in media and communication technologies.The four parts of Indigenous Media Ecologies distinguish between period-specific (print) technologies, and digital and post-digital media tools and practices. This volume investigates Indigenous media ecologies and the role of both traditional and new technologies in Indigenous diasporic, transnational, and linguistic communities across the Americas and the Pacific Islands, focusing on serial print publications, film, podcasts, museums, and other forms of storytelling and poetry in the digital age.

Indigenous Media Ecologies

Sound as world-making, music as metaphor: a critical inquiry into acoustheology, resonance, and the late-modern desire to hear the world as
unity.

Why has sound become one of the dominant metaphors of late modernity? From ASMR and data sonification to ecological theory and social philosophy, music and auditory perception increasingly promise connection, immersion, and meaning. In This is not music, Magdalena Zorn traces this acoustic turn through the concept of acoustheology: a mode of thinking in which sound becomes a substitute for theology, grounding worldviews, ethics, and social imaginaries.

Drawing on music history, sound studies, philosophy, and media theory, this book examines how composers, theorists, and artists since the mid-twentieth century have expanded music into a boundless explanatory model-often at the cost of critique, distance, and difference. Zorn challenges the widespread celebration of resonance, vibration, and sonic connectedness, revealing their political, epistemological, and affective implications. What appears as intimacy and togetherness, she argues, may also produce conformity, obedience, and exclusion.
This is not music is a rigorous intervention into contemporary debates on sound, ecology, and culture-insisting on reflection where immersion promises
comfort.

Debates in the Digital Humanities

How digital humanities can shape and be shaped by the infrastructures that sustain our worldCritical Infrastructure Studies and Digital Humanities reimagines the digital humanities (DH) through the expanding field of critical infrastructure studies. Featuring voices from around the globe, this volume explores how DH builds on and extends theories and technologies of infrastructure that affect society, culture, and knowledge in different national and regional contexts. Examining DH's own infrastructural genealogy, the contributors offer readers critical reflections and bold visions for the future as they address issues of environmentalism, decolonization, Indigenous sovereignty, multilingualism, labor justice, feminism, national development, and beyond from a variety of disciplinary perspectives embedded in concrete digital systems. Including innovative "infrastructure manifests," the essays in this book illuminate how DH can both study and shape the systems that sustain culture, scholarship, and connection.Contributors: Anne Beaulieu, U of Groningen; Kyle Booten, U of Connecticut; Ann Borda, U of Melbourne; Susan Brown, U of Guelph; Toby Burrows, U of Western Australia; Ashley Caranto Morford, Weber State U; Javier Cha, U of Hong Kong; Jing Chen, Nanjing U; Arianna Ciula, King's College London; Maya Dodd, FLAME U, Pune, India; Martin Paul Eve, Birkbeck, U of London; Allan Gomez, Philly Community Wireless; Matthew N.

Critical Infrastructure Studies and Digital Humanities

Minoritarian Aesthetics

Explores closeness as a minoritarian method in contemporary art and performance. On Closeness explores closeness as a transformative, if sometimes fraught, mode of engagement across aesthetic, social, and scholarly realms. Olivia Michiko Gagnon theorizes closeness as a minoritarian method that refuses knowledge grounded in possession or mastery in favor of relational ethics defined by vulnerability, partiality, and unknowing. Insisting upon the political urgencies of remaining in close proximity across difference, these forms of relation—with history and archives, artworks and others – privilege embodied and sensuous ways of knowing and remembering that salve historical violence. Analyzing contemporary artworks and performances by Tanya Tagaq, asinnajaq, Cheryl Sim, Elizabeth M. Webb, Pia Arke, and Monika Kin Gagnon – her mother and an influential cultural critic and scholar – Gagnon engages entangled histories of colonialism, slavery, migration, and diaspora. Grounded in performance studies and in dialogue with gender and sexuality studies, critical Indigenous studies, Black studies, American studies, critical mixed-race studies, Asian-Canadian studies, and film and media studies, On Closeness stages an anti-racist, decolonial, and feminist intervention. Adopting closeness as her own method, Gagnon shows how the concept opens up new possibilities for relation across difference, historical sense-making, and knowledge production within and beyond the university.

Minoritarian Method and Forms of Relation

On Closeness

This book explores data science in practice through an ethnographic study at a global marketing technology and research firm. The book shows that, while businesses have embraced data science methods to understand markets and consumers, in practice they produce too much information. Consequently, they must be combined with creative practices that simplify and make sense of analytics. Cluley shows that in the age of data science, business is increasingly artistic. In this case, marketing science is more like marketing science fiction. This is essential reading for understanding contemporary data-driven business and marketing as well as social and economic relations in the age of surveillance capitalism, with lessons for academics and students of marketing, technology and data science.

The horrific events of October 7 and the devastating war in Gaza have brought Israel/Palestine to the headlines once again. We have seen this all play out before: another ambitious peace plan, which secured a ceasefire, is imagined as the dawn of a new era of peace in the Middle East. But is it? Critiquing traditional state-centered approaches to peace, which usually highlight the work of diplomats and politicians, and which historically failed miserably in Israel/Palestine, Media Making as Peacemaking shifts our attention to the experiences of ordinary people. Investigating the idea of media encounters, this book shows how the collaboration of Palestinian and Jewish media practitioners and the popular texts they create together in television dramas, digital activism and mainstream journalism offer a new and exciting way to think about peace . A peace which does not maintain a repressive status quo, but seeks to deliver equality and justice to all people, Palestinians and Jews, living between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea.

Media Making as Peacemaking

SpringerBriefs in Economics

This book is novel in that it provides insights into the effects of information provision on people's perceptions and behavioral changes during the pandemic, and provides empirical evidence on its mechanisms and policy implications from different perspectives. It compares the different characteristics and effectiveness of information sources from the government, the news media, professionals in the field (health care workers), non-professional ordinary people, and the close environment, including family, friends, and colleagues. The consumer externality is the key concept in the analyses, as it identifies the effects of one's own consumption on the actions of others in constrained situations such as pandemics. Data from surveys conducted in Japan, the United States, and Germany suggest some implications for policymaking during a pandemic. One is related to differences in the characteristics of information. For example, information from experts in the field is perceived differently than information from other sources. Similarly, information from authorized organizations such as government and the news media remains critical in an emergency. Another relates to behavioral changes caused by the provision of information. Clearly, the effects of information on behavior change depend on the characteristics of the activity being addressed. We examine the effects on out-of-home and in-home activities during the pandemic, both of which focus on leisure activities, and show that the effects of information on each activity are quite different. Overall, this book provides empirical evidence for the importance of information dissemination policies that work with appropriate information providers and take into account country-specific attitudes to information.

Behavioral Change by Information Provision in a Pandemic

Every day, data is collected about how you live. This data is owned by large technology companies in the US and China. Google, Facebook, Amazon, and TikTok have become such a big part of society that important decisions are being moved from democratic assemblies to closed boardrooms. On the one hand, technology makes our lives more exciting and richer. At the same time, it can create economic disparities the world has never seen before. Technology companies are developing increasingly advanced forms of artificial intelligence that can solve key tasks, but also threaten our freedom more fundamentally than ever before in history.
Hilde Nagell shows how it is possible to return control to the people and to democracy. She has spoken with politicians, philosophers, trade unionists and technologists, and ultimately proposes a Nordic model for digitalisation and data sharing. It is fundamental that data should be viewed as a collective good.

How to Take Your Freedom and Power Back

Fino a una trentina di anni fa era inconcepibile pensare di poter redigere una tesi di laurea o scoprire da quanti paesi è formato un continente senza dover sfogliare un'enciclopedia. Il 15 gennaio 2001, però, tutto è cambiato. Il lancio di Wikipedia, creata dall'imprenditore americano Jimmy Wales, ha ridisegnato le fondamenta della società moderna: nel giro di pochissimo tempo un'enciclopedia online è diventata disponibile in tutto il mondo, al pari dell'acqua potabile o della corrente elettrica. Oggi la versione inglese del sito conta circa undici miliardi di visualizzazioni ogni mese e il numero di articoli pubblicati - sette milioni - fa impallidire le 75.000 voci dell'edizione cartacea dell'Enciclopedia Britannica. Ma prima di diventare il più grande bacino di conoscenza di sempre Wikipedia ha dovuto superare un'ardua sfida: fare in modo che i suoi fruitori sentissero di poter contare sull'affidabilità di coloro che ne compilano le voci. La fiducia, per l'unico grande imprenditore del web ad aver rinunciato a guadagni miliardari facendo della propria creatura una fondazione senza fini di lucro, è un tesoro prezioso e va tutelata. Nel raccontarsi per la prima volta al pubblico, Wales ci svela come ciò che pareva impossibile sia adesso addirittura normale, e come Wikipedia sia riuscita ad affermarsi in una società in cui la diffidenza e il sospetto nei confronti dei governi e dei media minacciano le fondamenta del nostro vivere civile.

Le 7 regole della fiducia

Indigenous journalism has proliferated in Indigenous communities for almost 200 years. But it has only gained global prominence in non-Indigenous communities for a little over a decade, revealing unique cultural pathways of communication that have existed for generations. At the same time, social media, streaming platforms, and other interactive digital media proliferated, enabling and empowering Native voices to connect, mobilize, and share stories internationally. In Storytelling Sovereignty, volume editors Cristina L. Azocar and Meta G. Carstarphen build upon the 2012 book American Indians and the Mass Media with a brand-new volume to showcase the diversity and resilience of Indigenous storytelling in today's media context. Together, their contributors—ranging from media scholars to Indigenous content creators—document experiences, analyze representations, and provide a platform for a conversation about how mass media can lead consumers toward social justice. Azocar and Carstarphen elegantly combine scholarly chapters with interviews with well-known Indigenous authors and media practitioners, including—among others—journalists Mark N. Trahant (Shoshone-Bannock Tribes) and Tsanavi Spoonhunter (Northern Arapaho Tribe and Northern Paiute descendant); actor, writer, and producer Tai Leclaire (Mohawk Nation); and rappers LiL Mike and FunnyBone (Pawnee Nation). Indigenous voices and experiences therefore frame and ground the scholarship. Part one, "News," examines news-gathering about Indigenous communities and explores media and Native identity through the framework of Indigenous Standpoint Theory, which centers Indigenous knowledge, experiences, and perspectives. Part two, "Multimedia," spotlights Indigenous perspectives about social media, radio, television, and filmmaking. And in part three, "Influence," an array of media producers and scholars demonstrate how Indigenous identities use media, from rap to documentary filmmaking, to reflect authentic experiences and reject harmful stereotypes. At a time when media serve as a particularly powerful tool for cultural expression and political agency, it has also played an indelible role in Indigenous storytelling. Storytelling Sovereignty helps readers not only understand Indigenous-produced media but also why it is so vital. Storytelling Sovereignty is a crucial contribution to the field.

Storytelling Sovereignty

The digital world runs on trust—and trust is failing. The Trust Crisis exposes why identity theft, data breaches, and privacy erosion have become unavoidable and normalized features of human interaction with the digital ecosystem. The problem is not careless users, but helpless users. It is a rigged and broken identity verification system that forces people to repeatedly give up sensitive data with zero assurance to protect them. Raj Ananthanpillai reveals how today’s flawed verification model creates massive security risks and explains why adding more safeguards or regulations has not fixed the issue. He introduces a new framework for digital trust—one that replaces endless data sharing with reusable, consumer-owned trust credentials. Readers will discover: <ul> <li>Why current organizational data storage approach puts everyone at risk</li> <li>How identity verification and screening can work without exposing personal data</li> <li>What a Trust Credential for Life looks like in practice</li> <li>How consumers and organizations can restore digital trust with a new verification model</li> </ul> Clear, timely, and solution-oriented, this book is essential reading for anyone concerned about privacy, security, and the future of human identity screening in an AI driven digital world.

How Big Tech Stole Your Identity--And the New Model That Takes It Back

The Trust Crisis

Was wäre, wenn die größte Machtverschiebung unserer Zeit längst beschlossen ist?

Der schwedische Wissenschaftler Dr. Jacob Nordangård zeigt, dass sich hinter Begriffen wie "Nachhaltigkeit", "Gleichheit" und "Gerechtigkeit" ein Etikettenschwindel verbirgt, der auf eine düstere Agenda abzielt. Eine Agenda, in der Überwachung und digitale Identitäten zu Instrumenten umfassender Kontrolle werden.

Im Zentrum steht "Our Common Agenda", das Reformprojekt der Agenda 2030. Es ebnet den Weg für eine neue Form globaler Steuerung, in der internationale Organisationen, Finanzakteure und "Philanthropen" beispiellose Machtbefugnisse erhalten - und die Welt schleichend in eine Technokratie geführt wird.

 Es geht nicht um Reformen. 
Es geht um Macht.
Und um die Frage, wer in Zukunft über unser Leben entscheidet.
