Communication Studies

Eigenvalue provides the first history of 'eigenvalue' by building an important bridge between the hard and the soft sciences. Originally a mathematical term, Hanjo Berressem applies Eigenvalue, which roughly translates to proper value, to the media studies discipline for the first time, providing a philological history and line of development across the sciences through to contemporary cultural studies. Berressem's groundbreaking work is organized into 2 books, with the first book broken down into six topical areas - mathematics, physics, cybernetics, biology, literary studies, cultural studies. The second book discusses the place of eigenvalues in sound, light and literature, specifically, Alvin Lucier's experimental composition "I am Sitting in a Room,¿? Bill Morrison's eight-minute experimental film Light is Calling and the literary works of Thomas Pynchon. Berressem's thought-provoking philology is an important reference point for readers seeking an authoritative introduction to a term that connects other key ideas in contemporary debate.

Kommunikation ist in Wissenschaft und Praxis für verschiedene Anspruchsgruppen von Unternehmen relevant und wird entsprechend in mehreren Disziplinen der Betriebswirtschaft (z.B. Kundenkommunikation im Marketing und Mitarbeiterkommunikation im Human Resource Management) betrachtet. Die Herausgeber verfolgen das Ziel, bewusst derartige, für unterschiedliche Anspruchsgruppen entwickelte Ansätze der Kommunikation, zusammen zu bringen: Vertretern aus Wissenschaft und Praxis, die sich mit Kommunikation beschäftigen, soll die Möglichkeit gegeben werden, neben neuen Entwicklungen im eigenen (meist anspruchsgruppenspezifischen) Tätigkeitsbereich auch für andere Anspruchsgruppen entwickelte Ansätze der Kommunikation Anregungen für die eigene Arbeit kennen zu lernen. Das Buch präsentiert hierzu ausgewählte Beiträge des 7. Symposiums der Forschungskooperation Europäische Kulturen in der Wirtschaftskommunikation, das im November 2007 in Salzburg stattfand.

Die Digitalisierung ethnologischer Sammlungen ist ein wichtiger Schritt für eine 'Öffnung der Inventare'. Mit ihren neuen Möglichkeiten bietet sie vielfältige Formen eines dialogischen Austauschs - auch mit sogenannten Herkunftsgesellschaften -, generiert erweiterte Perspektiven auf die eigenen Sammlungen und ermächtigt neue Akteur*innen. Dabei ergeben sich Fragen nach Ordnungssystemen, der angemessenen Beschreibung der Sammlungen, der Verantwortung für ihr Zustandekommen und der Legitimierung bestimmter Verbreitungspraktiken. Auf der Grundlage von Fallbeispielen präsentieren die Beiträger*innen des Bandes Antworten und zeichnen ein praxisorientiertes Bild von Wirkungen der Digitalisierung ethnologischer Sammlungen heute.

"Zum Prozess des Schreibens empfehle ich ehrlich den Writing Code, ich habe ihn vor meiner Masterarbeit gelesen und hätte ihn mir schon für meine BA gewünscht." Der Leserkommentar bringt es auf den Punkt. Für wissenschaftliche Abschlussarbeiten geht es hier um Zeitersparnis. Deshalb wird der gewohnte Schreibprozess auf den Kopf gestellt, Abschlussarbeiten entstehen nicht länger von vorne nach hinten - sondern von innen nach außen. Es werden nicht länger streng nacheinander Kapitel abgearbeitet und da nur zu einem Teil um Schreiben geht, gibt es auch keine Schreibblockade. Es wird recherchiert, gelesen, exzerpiert, gegliedert, geordnet, strukturiert, verbalisiert, überarbeitet und korrigiert - wer weiß, dass er nicht nur schreibt, bleibt immer und überall arbeitsfähig.

This open access book on infodemic management reviews the current discussions about this evolving area of public health from a variety of perspectives. Infodemic management is an evidence-based practice underpinned by the science of infodemiology that offers guidance to better manage pandemic and epidemic risks and more quickly tackle new and resurgent health threats. Infodemic management has added much visibility and recognition for the importance of social-behavioural sciences, health communication, participatory and human-centered approaches, and digital health as complementary scientific and practical approaches that also must be strengthened in public health practice through a whole-of-society and whole information ecosystem approach. This volume makes a case that health of the information ecosystem in the digital age has emerged as the fourth ecosystem that public health is challenged by, along with the triad of environment-human-animal health. The bookbrings together scientists and practitioners across disciplines to offer insights on infodemic management. The tools, methods, analytics, and interventions that they discuss in the context of acute health events also can be applied to other public health areas. Topics covered include:People's Experience of Information Overload and Its Impact on Infodemic HarmsSmart Health! Expanding the Need for New LiteraciesTo Debunk or Not to Debunk? Correcting (Mis)informationPartnering with Communities for Effective Management of Health EmergenciesManaging Infodemics in the 21st Century is required reading for public health practitioners in need of an overview of this evolving field of practice that has made major scientific and practical leaps forward since early 2020. Global, regional, and local health authorities are increasingly recognizing the need to expand their capacities for infodemic management in their efforts to better prepare for future health emergencies. This book is the resource they need to build toward a mature infodemic management process. The text also can be used as supplemental reading for graduate programs and courses in public health.

Der insbesondere durch die Digitalisierung ausgelöste Medienwandel und die daraus erwachsenen Veränderungsprozesse für die Public Relations und Organisationskommunikation führ(t)en zum Verschwimmen zahlreicher Grenzen, die früher deutlicher zu erkennen waren. Der vorliegende Sammelband nimmt in drei Themenblöcken diese Grenzverschiebungen und die daraus resultierenden Veränderungsprozesse in den Blick. Erstens wird die Entgrenzung des Berufsfelds der PR und Organisationskommunikation betrachtet, wobei insbesondere die Vermischung von Journalismus und strategischer Kommunikation im Fokus steht. Zweitens fokussiert der Band die Entgrenzung spezifischer Bereiche und Instrumente der strategischen Kommunikation (z.B. Wahlkampfkommunikation, Markt- und Markenkommunikation, Beteiligungsverfahren). Drittens gehen Beiträge in dem Band Fragen nach ethisch-normativen Grenzverschiebungen und -überschreitungen in der strategischen Kommunikation nach und diskutieren, wie diese neu verhandelt werden.

This book highlights how horror in film and television creates platforms to address distinct areas of modern-day concern. In examining the prevalence of dark tropes in contemporary horror films such as Get Out, Annabelle: Creation, A Quiet Place, Hereditary and The Nun, as well as series such as Stranger Things, American Horror Story and Game of Thrones, amongst numerous others, the authors contend that we are witnessing the emergence of a 'horror renaissance'. They posit that horror films or programmes, once widely considered to be a low form of popular culture entertainment, can contain deeper meanings or subtext and are increasingly covering serious subject matter. This book thus explores how horror is utilised as a tool to explore social and political anxieties of the cultural moment and is thus presented as a site for contestation, exploration and expansion to discuss present-day fears. It demonstrates how contemporary horror reflects the horror of modern-day life, be it political, biological, social or environmental. A vital contribution to studies of the horror genre in contemporary culture, and the effect it has on social anxieties in a threatening and seemingly apocalyptic time for the world, this is a vital text for students and researchers in popular culture, film, television and media studies.

¿The Palgrave Handbook of Media Misinformation provides a comprehensive and cutting-edge resource on the critical debates surrounding fake news and misinformation online. Spanning all continents and linking academic, journalistic, and educational communities, this collection offers authoritative coverage of conspiracy theories, the post-Trump and Brexit landscape, and the role of big tech in threats to democracy and free speech. The collection moves through a diagnosis of misinformation and its impacts on democracy and civic societies, the 'mainstreaming' of conspiracy theory, the impacts of misinformation on health and science, and the increasing significance of data visualization. Following these diagnoses, the handbook moves to responses from two communities of practice - the world of journalism and the field of media literacy.

Der deutsch-amerikanische Künstler Stephan von Huene (1932-2000) gehört zu den Medienkünstlern der ersten Generation, die sich der Elektronik als Schöpfungswerkzeug bedienten. Sein ¿uvre entfaltet sich im Spannungsfeld zwischen Figuration, Akustik, Kinesik und Kommunikationstheorie. Jesús Muñoz Morcillo liefert die erste Monografie, die sich dem Werk von Huenes systematisch widmet und dieses - mit Blick u.a. auf John Cage und La Monte Young - kunsthistorisch einordnet. Die hermeneutische Analyse der letzten großen Arbeit von Huenes (Sirenen Low, 1999) liefert die Grundlage für drei umfangreiche Deutungskreise, die sich jeweils den figurativen, akustischen und systemischen Aspekten seines Werkes zuwenden.

What's it like covering East Asia as a foreign correspondent? In Spilling Ink, American journalist Jonathan Adams reveals the gritty reality of reporting from the world's most dynamic region. Lured by the biggest story of the twenty-first century - the Rise of China - Adams' first taste of Asia was interning in Hong Kong for the International Herald Tribune. After working as a Newsweek stringer and Taipei Times "copy-monkey," he made the leap to full-time freelancer, choosing fascinating but underreported Taiwan as his base. Adams' decade-long adventure takes the reader from backstreet meetings with sex workers and fortune-tellers to the interviews with presidents (and inadvertently making the news rather than just reporting it). We track down Catholic vigilantes in a violent corner of Mindanao, experience the frenzied build-up to the Beijing Olympics, chase serious stories on algae blooms and labour relations, and pay the bills with clickbait stories on Japanese maid cafes and penis festivals. And along the way we see the death of old media and the emergence of a new, leaner model. Spilling Ink (originally published under the title Welcome Home, Master) is an honest, funny, and revealing behind-the-scenes look at foreign reporting, a nuts-and-bolts account of finding, pitching and writing stories, of making a living as a freelance newsman. Part-travelogue, part Asian journalism primer, the book explains why Adams loved the job and why he ultimately left it.
