Cai Wen: Reform of Chinese Journalism
Education Driven by Media Convergence

Reform of Chinese Journalism Education Driven by Media Convergence

This book offers the first comprehensive sociological analysis of a Pan-Indian Fandom with a transnational footprint.It postulates a sociological definition of 'Fan' and 'Fandom', something lacking in existing literature to date. It also foregrounds a new theory and definition of 'Persona', in addition to substantiating fresh concepts like 'Access Taboo', 'Neutral Reciprocity', 'Diglossic Fan Sociality', 'Numerocracy' and 'Post-Banks'. These concepts and definitions serve to anchor and rejuvenate the Sociology of Fan Cultures, a nascent yet timely field of enquiry. The book revitalizes the Structuralist Tradition in Indian Sociology while also illuminating Fandom through a wealth of new perspectives derived from German Idealism, Symbolic Interactionism, Anthropology of Art and Film Semiotics.This book is an invaluable resource for students and scholars in Sociology, Social Anthropology, Political Sociology, Media Studies, Digital Humanities, Communication Studies, Culture Studies, Film Studies, Performance Studies, Gender Studies, Arts and Aesthetics, and South Asian Studies, giving fresh insights into the evolving dynamics of Fan Cultures in the Digital Age.

Building a New Blueprint for Caribbean Disaster Intelligence

Resilience in the Caribbean - Volume II

Focusing on social types during the July Monarchy, Pauline de Tholozany argues that the popularity of typologies in France participated in the construction of a national ideal conceived as a sum of individual parts. Tholozany shows that types such as the dandy, flâneur, and grisette abounded in plot-riven literary genres and in journalistic sketches, signaling a fear of obsoleteness that continually evolving printing technologies cast on social thought, thereby inaugurating a new way of thinking about society.

Focusing on social types during the July Monarchy, Pauline de Tholozany argues that they played a role in the construction of a national ideal in France during the period. As Tholozany shows, types such as the dandy, flÃ¢neur (including the child flÃ¢neur), and  grisette abounded, both in plot-driven literary genres and in journalistic sketches. At the same time, in classifying and describing these types, writers such as Jules Janin and Honoré de Balzac in collaboration with graphic artists insisted on the impossibility of establishing a stable social taxonomy. This paradoxical gesture, Tholozany claims, has larger consequences, since the social type’s resistance to a stable classification ultimately points to the difficulty of defining national identity as the sum of its typological parts. Reminding us that character, type, and stereotype are all words borrowed from printing technologies, Tholozany suggests that the types in what Walter Benjamin called panoramic literature signal a fear of obsoleteness that continually evolving printing technologies cast on social thought, a response that inaugurated a new way of thinking about society.

Social Types in Nineteenth-Century French Literature and Journalism

This clear and accessible book addresses three key questions: What is narrative? How can we talk about narrative? How does audience participation relate to this? As media landscapes shift, new questions arise over what constitutes a 'narrative text', from graphic novels to twitter accounts, web series and computer games. Siobhan O'Flynn provides students, teachers and practitioners a new theoretical framework in which to discuss and analyse this continually evolving area. Supported by a website featuring interviews and teaching material, this book introduces the key thinkers and critical concepts in the fields, drawing connections and filling gaps, opening up a new way of thinking about digital narrative.

In today's complex and uncertain world, urban and territorial resilience is vital. From natural and human-made disasters to climate change and globalization, cities and regions face challenges that demand preparedness, adaptability, and transformability, i.e., the capacity to absorb shocks. As social-ecological and complex adaptive systems, they must strengthen their ability to respond and transform. Cultural heritage is increasingly recognized as a territorial asset that enhances resilience by providing identity, tangible resources, and historical knowledge useful for risk prevention and management. In the 21st century, heritage-whether underwater, rural, or embedded in urban space -is seen not as a remnant of the past but as a living system and a source of identity, creativity, economic innovation, cohesion, and environmental sustainability. This Reprint responds to the need to rethink the role of heritage in building resilience by assembling twelve articles that examine its activation across diverse geographic contexts (marine, urban, rural, etc.). The contributions converge on a pivotal argument: heritage must shift from a preservation-focused paradigm to one of active contribution, becoming a strategic asset within place-based development and a driver of new economic activities and innovation. The papers span the Mediterranean, Southeast Asia, Latin America, sub-Saharan Africa, and Europe and address varied forms of heritage, including maritime and underwater cultural heritage, architectural ensembles, vernacular landscapes, traditional practices, and cultural-creative industries.

Cultural Heritage as a Contributor to Territorial/Urban Resilience

To paraphrase Sir Winston Churchill, never has so much pornography been available to so many people for so little. This is the story of how the online adult industry has plummeted from its lofty heights of the late 1990s, when a savvy Web entrepreneur could charge premium prices to thousands of eager subscribers. It is also the story of how the law has completely failed to keep pace with the technological innovations that boosted and then savaged the online adult industry. It concludes by analysing the social impact of virtually unlimited pornography of every description, available to all ages at the click of a button. Useful reading for the general reader and for students and researchers involved with business strategy, the history of technology, cultural studies, sexuality, media studies and technology more generally.

Traditionally, the presence of pornography in American society has been mediated by two primary factors: legal restrictions and the relatively high cost of the product. The degree of legal restrictions on adult material has varied from era to era and community to community, but the porn premium has remained relatively constant. Given this, these should be heady days for adult business owners. Thanks to the Internet, distribution costs are virtually nil and even the most hardcore content is easily accessible in the smallest coastal hamlet and most rural farmhouse in America. Adult industry balance sheets should be bulging with profit. But in reality, far from it. The World Wide Web has completely eradicated both the legal restrictions and premium cost that used to govern adult industry economics. To paraphrase Sir Winston Churchill, never has so much pornography been available to so many people for so little. This is the story of how the online adult industry has plummeted from its lofty heights of the late 1990s, when a savvy Web entrepreneur could charge thousands of eager subscribers premium prices. It is also the story of how the law has completely failed to keep pace with the technological innovations that boosted and then savaged the online adult industry. It concludes with a detailed analysis of the social impact of virtually unlimited pornography of every description, available to all ages at the click of a button.Accessible to the general reader, this book will appeal to those who want to know more about the adult entertainment industry in America and will prove useful reading for students and researchers involved with a wide variety of academic disciplines including business strategy, the history of technology, cultural studies, sexuality, media studies and technology more generally.
