The Canadian Federation of Municipalities has declared cities the “unofficial welcome wagon” for new Canadians. Research suggests, however, that they embrace settlement and integration policies to varying degrees. While scholarly examinations of municipal policies include analyses of corporate communications strategies, efforts by city governments to reach residents through ethnocultural news media have received little attention. To address that gap, this study investigates why the suburban community of Brampton, Canada adopted one of the most proactive ethnic media strategies in the country in 2015 when, just a decade earlier, it was for the most part unresponsive to the needs of its burgeoning immigrant population. As a starting point, the case study uses the determinants of municipal responsiveness identified by Kristin R. Good (2009) in Municipalities and Multiculturalism: The Politics of Immigration in Toronto and Vancouver. Employing a mixed methods approach, it concludes that rapid demographic change, the emergence of an activist political leadership, and efforts to reduce friction between newcomers and other residents influenced Brampton’s communications policy over time. The case study identifies challenges associated with adopting an ethnic media strategy, including issues related to translation and the relative lack of sophistication of some ethnic media outlets. Furthermore, it demonstrates that reaching out to ethnocultural communities via ethnic media requires more than just distributing news releases in English. Translation of these releases has the potential to increase municipal news coverage in ethnic media, the paper suggests, if only because it makes it easier for smaller news organizations to report on such matters

Esta investigación tiene como objetivo estudiar la construcción de sentido en La pelota vasca. La piel contra la piedra (Julio Medem, 2003), el documental sobre terrorismo que más éxito comercial y más polémica ha generado en el cine español. A través de un análisis del montaje, este artículo busca descubrir las pautas, esquemas o estructuras narrativas utilizadas por el director para construir el texto fílmico y para influir en la opinión de los espectadores. Para ello se ha creado una base de datos que permite un minuicioso análisis cuantitativo y cualitativo de todAs las intervenciones que hay en la película. Esta propuesta metodológica pretende servir al análisis de otros documentales con similares características narrativas. Las conclusiones obtenidas muestran que el director usa la estructura de parte del documental y las entrevistas a diferentes personalidades del País Vasco para configurar un sentido propio de lo que denomina conflicto vasco, que está muy cercano a las tesis nacionalistas. Queda demostrada la crítica a la acción del PP en sus años de gobierno y el deterioro de la imagen del Estado, principalmente a través de un 80% de referencias negativas sobre las fuerzas de seguridad del Estado. También se prueba que las personas entrevistadas son más o menos creíbles dependiendo de cómo quedan situadas dentro del montaje y de si otros personajes refutan o respaldan lo que dicen.

Most academic journals have a fairly consistent look: they are structured similarly, their text is divided into similar sections; for example, they have an abstract at the beginning of the manuscript, and their text is usually organized in two columns. There may be different reasons for this similarity, ranging from the need to contain publication costs by using less page space to conforming to an internationally well-accepted format that may be perceived as the hallmark of academic articles. We surveyed 35 medical journals founded before 1960 and looked for their change in format over time and how this was experienced by and explained to readers. We then discussed what recent research has shown about the effects of layout on reading, looking for further explanations as to why this format was so successful.

In the heyday of social media, individuals around the world held high hopes for the democratizing force of social media; however, in light of the recent public outcry of privacy violations, fake news, and Russian troll farms, much of optimism toward social media has waned in favor of skepticism, fear, and outrage. This special issue critically explores the question, “Is social media for good or evil?” While good and evil are both moral terms, the research addresses whether the benefits of using social media in society outweigh the drawbacks. To help conceptualize this topic, we examine some of the benefits (good) and drawbacks (evil) of using social media as discussed in eight papers from the 2017 International Conference on Social Media and Society. This thematic collection reflects a broad range of topics, using diverse methods, from authors around the world and highlights different ways that social media is used for good, or evil, or both. We conclude that the determination of good and evil depends on where you stand, but as researchers, we need to go a step further to understand who it is good for and who it might hurt.

This paper examines how Canadian media have discussed the role of natural gas in climate change mitigation from 2016 to 2019. It also explicates different stakeholders' varying stances on the environmental impacts of North America's ongoing “shale gas boom,” as manifested in their conflicting attitudes toward designating unconventional gas as a bridge to a low-carbon future. The data in question consist of 99 articles published by Canadian media sources, all of which included explicit references to either “bridge fuel” or “transition fuel.” Through a qualitative thematic analysis, I found that more than half of the articles adopted the conventional definition of bridge fuel. Meanwhile, there are three less common, yet noteworthy interpretations arising out of the rest of the articles, which conflict with each other in terms of their views on the relationship between unconventional gas and greenhouse gas emissions reduction. Overall, the fact that bridge fuel references only appeared in a fraction of Canadian environmental and energy news reports during the target period suggests the issue's peripheral status in the Canadian media sphere. Given this situation, the paper ends by calling for more knowledge mobilization efforts to raise public awareness of the controversial factors underlying expanding unconventional gas production and consumption.

In the following paper I engage in a phenomenological interpretation of the so-called ‘modernity-thesis’ – the idea that perception is historically mutable, while cinema in particular and modern media in general are symptoms of such mutations – in Walter Benjamin’s ARTWORK essay. Thus, in the first part of the paper I specifically follow the impact that the increasing significance of the masses in contemporary life and the corresponding rise of statistics in the field of theoretical thought have on perception. In the second part of the paper I try to apply Benjamin’s insights for an analysis of television audiences while drawing the consequences that derive from here for a phenomenological understanding of intersubjectivity.

This study explores privacy from the perspective of the user. It leverages a “framing in thought” approach to capture how users make sense of privacy in their social media use. It builds on a unique dataset of privacy definitions collected from a representative sample of 608 US social media users. The data are analyzed using topic modeling and semantic network analysis to unpack the multidimensionality of social media privacy. These dimensions are further examined in relation to established demographic antecedents of privacy concerns and behaviors. Results indicate the dominance of frames related to horizontal dimensions of privacy, or privacy vis-à-vis peers, as compared with the vertical dimensions, or privacy vis-à-vis institutions. In addition, the findings suggest that user conceptualization of privacy reflects a cognate-based approach that emphasizes control and limits to information access. Implications for privacy research, policy, and technology design are discussed.

This study aims to determine the effect of news in online media on the thoughts and behavior of a person, because the impact is very strong in shaping public opinion. This study uses theory of mass communication, news construction, netizen response, online media. The research method used quantitative descriptive analysis with online data collection techniques. Conclusion of research (1) News construction have positive effect to reporting hoax in online media, meaning that news construction which is loaded and created by online media will influence hoax news dissemination. (2) The netizen response positively affects the news of hoaxes in the online media, meaning more and more netizens respond to hoax news, hoax news will be wider. (3) News construction and netizen responses have a positive and significant influence on hoax news in media online, meaning that these two variables give a significant influence in the preaching of hoax in online media.

This research paper aims to analyze the progressive evolution of elitization of the touristic, accommodation, and food services due to the tourist gentrification in the heritage area and inner city of San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. The methodology is structured into a theoretical analysis of gentrification, tourist gentrification, and elitization, in cooperation with a historical and documentary study where it is shown the progressive transformation of the city and its services, complemented with statistical and census data, surveys and study tours. The results obtained show that the preservation policies implemented in national and international heritage areas encouraged the arrival of groups of people with better economic resources, investors who injected capital into the city, and the creation of luxury restaurant and hotel establishments for the elite. This phenomenon triggered a process of commercial displacement, this phenomenon also potentialize the gentrification in the touristic and heritage area of the city., La presente investigación tiene como objetivo analizar la evolución y progresiva elitización de los servicios turísticos de alimentos y hospedaje, a causa de la gentrificación turística en la ciudad patrimonial de San Miguel de Allende, México. La metodología se estructura en un análisis teórico de gentrificación, gentrificación turística y elitización, acompañado de un estudio histórico y documental en donde se muestre la progresiva transformación de la ciudad y de los servicios, acompañado de datos estadísticos censales, entrevistas y recorridos de campo. Los resultados obtenidos muestran que a partir de las políticas de conservación patrimonial nacional e internacional se incentivó la llegada de población de mayores recursos económicos, inversionistas que inyectaron capital a la ciudad, así como la creación de establecimientos elitizados y de alta gama en el sector hotelero y restaurantero. Este fenómeno desencadenó un proceso de desplazamiento comercial y potencializó la gentrificación turística en la ciudad patrimonial y turística.

Online media offer unprecedented access to digital public spheres, largely enhancing users’ opportunities for participation and providing new means for strengthening democratic discourse. At the same time, the last decades have demonstrated that online discourses are often characterised by so-called ‘dark participation’ the spreading of lies and incivility. Using ‘problematic behaviour theory’ as framework and focusing on incivility as a specific form of dark participation, this article investigates the role of users’ personal characteristics, media use, and online experiences in relation to offensive and hateful online behaviour. Using a random-quota survey of the German population, we explored how dark personality traits, political attitudes and emotions, the frequency and spaces of online-media use, and users’ experiences with both civil and uncivil online discourses predicted participants own uncivil behaviour, such as posting, sharing, or liking uncivil content. We found that 46% of the participants who had witnessed incivility in the last three months also engaged in uncivil participation. A hierarchical logistic regression analysis showed that incivility was associated with manipulative personality traits as measured by the dark triad, right-wing populist voting intentions, and frequent social-media use. Experiences with both civil comments and hate speech predicted higher levels of uncivil participation. The strongest predictor was participants’ personal experiences with online victimisation. Overall, the results confirmed that dark participation in the sense of uncivil engagement results from the interplay of personality traits, an online environment that allows for deviant engagement, and, most importantly, participants’ experiences in said environment., Finanziert durch den Open-Access-Publikationsfonds der Westfälischen Wilhelms-Universität Münster (WWU Münster).

Technology innovation adoption is critical for the survival of news organizations in the digital age. However, it has been argued that innovations should not be adopted at any price in journalism. This explorative study investigates drivers and obstacles for innovation adoption of 360° videos in eight news organizations in Switzerland from the perspective of the knowledge champion in the editorial office. Based on interviews, we find that the question of what an innovation will change regarding resources, processes, and the alignment to professional norms is relevant at an early stage of innovation adoption. Potential monetary, audience, and company image benefits of an innovation become relevant for its proficient adoption. Knowledge champions carefully evaluate the new technology against normative journalistic principles and benefits for the organization. We argue that for understanding innovation adoption in newsrooms, the negotiation of professional norms has to be considered as this negotiation can drive or restrain innovation adoption. As journalists do not innovate at any costs but consider journalism’s societal purpose when assessing new technology, models of newsroom innovation adoption need to include the negotiation of normative principles.

El artículo parte de entender que la llamada sociedad del conocimiento se caracteriza por el desarrollo de una serie de cambios globales que ponen al saber como centro neurálgico y estratégico. Esta nueva era, en cuyo marco los emprendimientos exitosos se definen por el crecimiento acelerado que prometen (software factories y emprendimientos dinámicos de base tecnológica y social), pone a prueba al Comunicador y lo enfrenta al desafío de reevaluar y jerarquizar su profesión. A partir de una investigación sobre la temática, que puso énfasis en la realidad uruguaya, se identificaron aristas fundamentales para los comunicadores: liderar un área de Comunicación en una empresa de base tecnológica implica asumir el reto de desarrollar ambientes donde los trabajadores del conocimiento puedan explotar su potencial y cultivar su inteligencia emocional en un encuadre de buenas prácticas comunicacionales. Asimismo, obliga al profesional de la Comunicación a plantear nuevas formas de desarrollar la auditoría comunicativa –incorporando al tiempo como unidad de valor significativo– y a planificar acciones de Comunicación –incorporando las metodologías ágiles al universo conversacional–. El artículo se detiene en estos aspectos teniendo en cuenta que el conocimiento acumulado ubica al Comunicador en un rol activo fundamental dentro de este tipo de organizaciones.

La crisis del COVID-19 se presenta como una realidad sin precedentes que rompe con los modelos de gestión de la comunicación desarrollados hasta hoy. Ante eso, el prestigioso académico e investigador Jordi Xifra, Doctor en Publicidad y Relaciones Públicas por la Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona (España), señala la particularidad de una crisis cuyo responsable “no tiene nombre ni apellido, más allá de los que el framing político quiera darles”, pero que ha agravado las situaciones de precariedad laboral, económica y social de todo tipo y en todas partes del mundo. En diálogo con InMediaciones de la Comunicación, Xifra expone aspectos del pasado y el presente de las Relaciones Públicas, su relación con otras disciplinas y revisa su visión sobre el campo profesional en el marco de la emergencia sanitaria para reafirmar su la convicción de que el COVID-19 debería poner en valor, ahora más que nunca, que los públicos son una cosa y los mercados son otra, y que las etapas iniciales de la pandemia son “el momento de los públicos, ya llegará el tiempo de los mercados”.

The causes of the emigration of the members of the Russian ethnic minority from Lithuania in the last two decades are analyzed in the article. There is a lack of official statistics about the scale (numbers) and reasons for the emigration of ethnic minority groups from Lithuania. Therefore, the qualitative data analysis of Lithuanian press in the Russian language and interviews with informants of Russian nationality is presented in the article. The qualitative data analysis allows to look at the aspects on emigration from the Russian ethnic minority group perspective. The topics of articles about emigration and emigration aspects reflected in informants’ interviews are analyzed. It is considered how emigration of Russians from Lithuania is related to socio-economic, socio-psychological and other factors important to the country’s development.

This paper analyses key differences between two paradigms dominant in social research on online crime: the more prevalent neopositivist paradigm and the more recent critical–cultural paradigm. Based on an extensive analysis of up-to-date literature, the key paradigmatic oppositions in online crime research encompass: 1) in neopositivism, the conceptual separation of technological and social practices, the reliance on rational choice approaches in theory, especially routine activity theory, and the tendency towards quantitative research methods; 2) in the critical–cultural paradigm, a complex and context-dependent approach to the technosocial as a continuum, theoretical roots in critical theory, cultural criminology, actor-network theory, and feminist theory, and the emphasis on qualitative methods. The field of online crime research in Lithuania is dominated by legal studies, while social research is rare and fragmented. The existing social research of online crime in Lithuania lacks a solid theoretical basis in either paradigm. Methodologically, there are examples of both quantitative (surveys, analysis of registered crime statistics) and qualitative studies (interviews, discussion groups, content analysis). However, most of the studies are small-scale and their scarcity makes it nearly impossible to evaluate the strengths, weaknesses, and complimentary potential of each approach in the specific national and regional context.

The definition of sexual harassment is mostly based on its legal regulation and is stated to be one of the forms of discrimination based on sex. However, such designation does not reveal social, psychological, economic, etc. sides of this phenomenon. Therefore, this article pays a lot of attention to the analysis of the phenomenon of sexual harassment, based on the insights of Lithuanian and foreign scientists, examines its forms, causes, consequences, and provides statistical information. As there are no scientific insights into the representation of sexual harassment in the media in Lithuania, research insights from foreign researchers are presented. This article presents an exploratory study of the representation of sexual harassment on the news portal delfi.lt, conducted during the analysis of 2017- 2018 publications. The aim of the article is to analyze the peculiarities of the representation of sexual harassment on the delfi.lt news portal. The research found that the topic of sexual harassment appears on the news portal only in the context of certain events, in this case the #metoo movement; there is a lack of analytical publications that would cover a broader context than the statement of facts; the experience of potential victims is presented as an individual problem.

News media offer balanced political messages and many citizens also seek content that presents two sides of a political issue. Despite this supply and demand, most work on information processing tests exposure to one-sided content, i.e., either pro- or counter-attitudinal. We advance this work by studying (1) how balanced and one-sided messages affect information processing; (2) whether the processing of balanced information is moderated by individual motivations; and (3) the impact of balanced exposure on attitude polarization. Using an online experiment (N = 677), we primed either accuracy or defensive motivation and examined how participants processed information about two distinct issues (i.e., climate change and Syrian refugees). On both issues, participants were less biased in response to balanced content, compared to one-sided content. In addition, defensive and accuracy motivated people processed balanced content in a similar manner. Furthermore, pro-attitudinal content polarized individual attitudes, but not balanced content, and this effect was not moderated by motivation.

Museums have gone through a modernization process which has seen the adoption of new technologies in what they offer visitors. Within the framework of the new critical museology, these organizations have been transformed into places of encounter and experience, the key tools in this change being socialization and play. Gamification are now intrinsic to collections and are a way of inviting visitors to share new museum experiences through the latest technology such as AR (Augmented Reality) and VR (Virtual Reality). In this way, the museum becomes a playground and a space for creativity (Borja-Villel et al., 2014). In this research, we focus on what we consider to be an important link between the three central aspects of museum change: sociability, gamificaction and virtualization; and the growing interest in museums for videogames. Our aim is to reach a better understanding of the AR and VR video games developed for museums and how these technologies can not only motivate visitors’ interest but also improve their learning skills. Our analysis focuses of literature published between 2015 to 2018 and follows the analytic structure established by Connolly et al. (2012) with additional features related to learning experience, platforms, and the use of technologies (VR and AR). The general aim is to map the interest of the research community in the field of museum-developed video games, more specifically those that use augmented and virtual reality.

New media tools and the corresponding digital networks have begun to take part in the centre of our daily lives, thereby caused a practice of everyday life in digital space. In Twitter, a network in which users are involved through the machines, the concepts such as life, time, space, rhythm have developed. This study focuses on the constitution of everyday life in digital space. Twitter is a digital space that users do their everyday life practices in this network and are involved in through the machines. A sample of 10 Turkish users was selected with social network analysis to discover everyday life practices in this digital space. The content produced by this sample was observed employing digital ethnography and analysed by the sociology of everyday life. It is observed that Twitter creates its own rhythm. Observations show in Twitter that tactics have been produced, and strategies have been tried to be turned down with these tactics and acted rhythmic practices as forms of production and consumption in everyday life. People tend to follow similar others on Twitter, and accordingly, content is being produced for an imaginary community.

In the current context of the COVID-19 pandemic, various forms of digital surveillance have been globally, established. Despite many of these forms of surveillance already existed, now, they have increased their range and have been legitimized and imposed daily. The logic of surveillance has allowed the universalization of surveillance, denunciation between citizens, and protests through mobile phone screens and social networks. In this state of exception, crossed by the rise of vigilantism, we propose to analyze the visual motif of police brutality in public spaces during the confinement. We will base the analysis on three categories of subjective enunciation: a witness-gaze, where the observer remains silent, recording the image; a protest-gaze, in which the observer reproaches the police for their violent action; and a lynching-gaze, where, on the contrary, the observer encourages police brutality and denounces the subject who transgresses confinement and goes for a walk on public roads. These types of gaze will allow us to demonstrate a settlement in the popular imagination of trust in the use of digital technologies and media to empower citizens in political and social praxis, and citizen journalism.

Research about the use of Artificial Intelligence applied to journalism has increased over the years. The studies conducted in this field between January 2008 and December 2019 were analysed to understand the contexts in which they have been developed and the challenges detected. The method used consisted of a systematic review of the scientific literature (SLR) of 209 scientific documents published in the Web of Science and Scopus databases. The validation required the inclusion and exclusion criteria, database identification, search engines and evaluation and description of results. The findings indicate that the largest number of publications related to this topic are concentrated in the United States and that the rise of scientific production on Artificial Intelligence in journalism takes place in 2015, when the remarkable growth of these publications begins, until reaching 61 in 2019. It is concluded that research is mainly published in scientific journals, which include works that handle a broad variety of topics, such as information production, data journalism, big data, application in social networks or information checking. In relation to authorship, the trend is the presence of a single signer.

This article refers to the concept of nuclearity as a broader technopolitical phenomenon that implies a political and cultural configuration of technical and scientific matters. The nuclear media discourses become a site of tensions, struggles, and power relations between various institutions, social groups, and agents who seek to frame nuclear issues. The Bourdieusian concept of a field as a domain of social interaction is employed by the authors of this article seeking to reveal interactions and power configurations within and between several fields: journalism and media, economy, politics, and cultural production fields (cinematography, literature, and art). Commercial and political pressures on media raise a question about the autonomy of this field. Media coverage of nuclear issues in Lithuania during the period 2018–2020, includes media framing produced by different sponsors of the nuclear media discourses and agents from the above-mentioned fields of journalism, nuclear industry, politics, cinematography or arts. The media coverage includes the news and press releases produced within PR and public communication of the atomic energy industry by representing the decommissioning of the Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant, articles written by journalists about the atomic city Visaginas, and challenges faced by the local community due to the closure of the Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant. The nuclear discourse includes debates by politicians around the topic of the lack of safety of the construction of the Astravyets Nuclear Power Plant in Belarus, and media coverage of the HBO series Chernobyl representing a strong antinuclear narrative by portraying the Chernobyl disaster crisis and expressing strong criticism of communism. The authors of this article carried out a qualitative content analysis of media coverage on nuclear issues and revealed features of the discourse: interpretative packages, frames, framing devices (Gamson & Modigliani, 1989), and dominating actors and institutions supporting the discourse.

This research aims to uncover the commodification, spatialization, and structuration of Social Media within Cyber Media News in Indonesia. A critical perspective was used to conduct the study using a case study method. Through the use of Vincent Mosco political economy theory of media, the authors conclude that Tribunnews.com, the cyber media news, and the object of this research, makes social media a commodity and a content distribution channel, by involving all parts of the newsroom to utilize social media (structuration). The commodification of content is carried out by making information on social media an initial source for news production. Audience commodification by using the followers of social media accounts as a source of income. This was achieved by offering social media accounts to the advertisers to put their advertisement on official social media accounts. Through the use of social media, journalists are used by Tribunnews.com for profit. Utilization is carried out by distributing journalists’ work to social media, and to other cyber media news included in the media group—without providing additional wages. Spatialization was carried out by using social media as a means of news distribution or amplification. The goal is to reach readers who mostly get their information through the Internet, including through smartphones and social media. Structuration achieved through the formation of a team dedicated to managing the use of social media in the production and distribution of news.

The prioritisation of the coronavirus pandemic in the public sphere has resonated in the field of sciences, with Covid-19 occupying the interest of many researchers in various dis-ciplines. This article aims to analyse features of interpersonal and institutional discourses, pub-lished data, and the author’s observations to reflect critically upon the impact of Covid-19 on academic life and sketch some trends in the field of sciences. The analysis demonstrates that Covid-19 serves as an accelerator for science;this process, however, is asynchronous across countries, disciplines, and research streams. The “Covid-isation” of research systems rein-forces the instrumentalisation and projectification of science and creates intra-institutional hi-erarchies. The coronavirus crisis amplifies existing inequalities and prompts the double move-ment of acceleration versus deceleration. In the potential social morphogenesis in the field of science, the role of the humanities and social sciences scholars in asking critical questions and facilitating meta-reflexivity becomes paramount. © 2021, Unified Theory of Information Research Group.

The crime drama has always been popular on radio and television. Following this popular programming type, these programs found its way into reality crime programs. The reality crime programs emerged in U.S television in the late 1980s as the combination of news, crime dramas, and even horror genre. The reality crime programs placed themselves mainly in two formats in the television world. There is a vignette format where actors reenact actual crimes, and another one is the live-action format. It is the 1990s for Turkey to introduce reality television to the audience. One of the popular programs that were first broadcasted on ATV in 2008 hosted by Müge Anlı is the Müge Anlı ile Tatlı Sert. After we discuss the popularity of the reality crime television and the cases from American television, MATS is discussed as a certain criminal case from Turkey. This case is publicly recognized as Palu Family. This article argues how the case of the Palu Family became a televised public psychosis in MATS which is a hybrid reality crime program. With this regard, we will study family violence, sexual abuse, and homicide that have become publicly available to the audience. Keywords: reality TV, reality crime programs, infotainment, crime, Turkish television, Müge Anlı

In most of historical cities, some streets have been pedestrianized in order to facilitate pedestrian circulation. This situation affects functions of historical buildings and increases also pedestrian density of streets. Although buildings have performed sufficiently structurally against earthquakes, non-structural components damages may occur. In case of earthquake, weak performance of non-structural components may cause loss of function, economic losses and especially loss of life and injury. The non-structural components of building such as parapet, roof, chimney, eave, canopy and windows are considered as risk factors that may cause injuries during earthquake. In this study, non-structural building components that may occur possibility of injury are discussed and brought forward proposals for pedestrianized streets safety located in Cezayir Street, Istanbul. Cezayir Street; its location, its renewal area, the arrangement of street use with a special project in terms of usage, its location close to the most important cultural center of Istanbul; Istiklal Avenue and its intensive use, are important in its selection. The nonstructural building components of historical building in the Cezayir Street were evaluated using data derived on-site observation of building façade as parapets, ornaments, eaves, chimneys, windows and canopies. According to the research result, it can be said that the façade glazing which is located at mostly additional flat on building may lead to risk during earthquake.

Traffic is activity on a page of a site resulting from Internet visits and activity on that page. The more a site is visited, and the more activity Internet users engage in on the site’s pages, the higher its traffic. Traffic is like an audience on a television station, listener to the radio station, or circulation on print media. Traffic is the overall activity of readers on online media sites. Data collection from cnnindonesia.com is the commodification of content in an online forum, as in Kaskus and Kompasiana. The media are certainly competing to present exciting news content so that their readers remain loyal to their online. Exciting content on news portals and other efforts are employed solely to increase traffic. One such effort is the use of referral traffic, that is traffic which comes from other websites other than the major search engines, sources such as forums, blogs, and minor search engines are categorized as referral traffic. Visitors come to the online media portal through other websites and blog intermediaries. Although the contribution of made by referral traffic is not as great as the other sources, this practice considered quite useful as it does increase traffic in the media, traffic which is essential—and a measure of success.

The pandemic process experienced on a global scale, together with the health field in which it emerged, directly affected daily life from education to tourism, from production to consumption. This effect has been so great. Even the process of returning to normal starting from the first half of 2020 has been defined as the new normal, not the old normal. The new normal has changed the individual's daily life space and boundaries and imposed restrictions on the use of public exteriors from residential interiors. The change in the use of the space has also changed the relations, communication style, and interaction with space and those who use the space. Relationships and interactions established in daily life have started to be realized almost through residences due to the limitations on public space. Education, work, entertainment, commerce has been started distance and digital environment. This situation causes our behavior and the way we socialize to change. The change in the way people socialize and lifestyle with the epidemic causes changes in the use of public and private spaces. As the dynamics of the city change, these areas need to rethink the designs and develop creative solutions. However, changes that occurred during the epidemic process are not limited to the redesign of the built environment. With the development of communication systems, thanks to technology, people's interaction with each other is not prevented. Moreover, it suggests new socialization methods to facilitate physical distinction. The reflections of this situation, which develops with the constant exposure to technology, on our lives realized in the virtual environment. And these virtual environment appear as online platforms that allow social encounters. With the entry of mass media into the private sphere, the public sphere starts to be everywhere, and people are included in a virtual public sphere through these tools while they are in their private sphere. With the emergence of public spaces in the virtual environment, it is not known what the effects of this situation will lead to changes in spatial organizations. Therefore, within the scope of the study, the effects of the pandemic in urban spaces are tried to be understood. It is discussed how the possibilities of new public spaces occurring in the built environment and virtual environment will change the nature and definition of this concept., Küresel ölçekte yaşanan pandemi süreci; ortaya çıktığı sağlık alanıyla birlikte eğitimden turizme, üretimden tüketime gündelik yaşamı doğrudan etkilemiştir. Bu etki o kadar büyük olmuştur ki, 2020 yılının ilk yarısından itibaren başlayan normale dönme süreci bile eski normal değil, yeni normal olarak tanımlanmıştır. Yeni normal, bireyin gündelik yaşam alan ve sınırlarını değiştirmiş, konut iç mekânlarından kamusal dış mekânların kullanımına değin geçici bile olsa sınırlamalar getirmiştir. Mekâna ilişkin kullanım şeklinin değişmesi, mekânla ve mekânı kullananlarla olan ilişkileri, iletişim şeklini ve etkileşimi de değiştirmiştir. Gündelik yaşamda kurulan ilişkiler ve etkileşimler, kamusal mekâna getirilen sınırlılıklar nedeniyle neredeyse konutlar üzerinden kurulmaya başlanmıştır. Eğitim, çalışma, eğlence, ticaret, uzaktan ve dijital ortamda yapılarak davranışlarımızın ve sosyalleşme şeklimizin değişmesine neden olmaktadır. Salgın sonrası insanların sosyalleşme şeklinin ve yaşam tarzının değişmesi; kamusal ve özel alan kullanımlarında da değişiklikler meydana getirmektedir. Kentin dinamiklerinin değişmesiyle birlikte, bu alanların tasarımlarının yeniden düşünülmesi ve yaratıcı çözüm önerileri geliştirilmesi gerekmektedir. Ancak, salgın sürecinde meydana gelen değişiklikler sadece yapılı çevrenin yeniden tasarımıyla sınırlı değildir. Çağın bize sunduğu teknolojinin hayatımıza dâhil olmasıyla değişen iletişim sistemleri; insanlar arasındaki etkileşimi engellemeyerek, fiziksel ayrımı kolaylaştırmak için yeni sosyalleşme yöntemleri önermektedir. Teknolojiye sürekli maruz kalınmasıyla birlikte gelişen bu durumun hayatımıza yansımaları da sanal ortamda, sosyal karşılaşmalara izin veren çevrimiçi platformlar olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Kitle iletişim araçlarının özel alana girmesiyle birlikte kamusal alan artık her yerde olmaya başlamakta; kişiler, özel alanları içerisindeyken, bu araçlar vasıtasıyla sanal bir kamusal alanın içine dâhil olmaktadır. Kamusal alanların sanal ortamda var olmaya başlamasıyla birlikte, bu durumun etkilerinin mekânsal organizasyonlarda ne gibi değişikliklere yol açacağı bilinmemektedir. Bu nedenle çalışma kapsamında; kentsel mekânlarda pandeminin etkileri anlaşılmaya çalışılarak; yapılı çevrede ve sanal ortamda meydana gelen yeni kamusal alan olasılıklarının; kamusal alan kavramının niteliği ve tarifini nasıl değiştireceği tartışılmaktadır.

As a result of the introduction of new technologies in consumer electronics, analog TV shifted from a mere viewing experience to a personalized digital TV experience where users are encouraged to interact. The application of these new technologies not only create changes in physical appearance and adding more functionalities to TVs but it also shifts user expectations, which are mainly emotionally driven. The initial attempt of this study is to determine which emotions are involved in smart TV preference and why those particular emotions are aroused. In other words, this study aims to discover the link among contents, activities and user interaction as well as the relationship between triggered emotions and user expectations. By doing so, it analyses user emotions and expectations towards a dream TV. The primary data is collected towards semi-structured in-depth interviews. The results show that Smartness, High quality, Personalization, Functionality and Appearance are the key features that meet the expectations towards TV experience. User-friendliness, compatibleness, enjoyableness, awareness, novel-interactions, self-defense smart software and voice remote are the consequent expectations. All these expectations arise from different underlying emotional tendencies. With its initial attempt to propose guidelines for designers, this study suggests that for designing a smart TV that meets user expectations, its design should enable smart interaction that simplifies managing task (Smartness), high quality of picture and sound to enable innovative continuous experience (High quality), supporting not missing any content of interest and filter unwanted ones (Personalization), utilize all kinds of usage comfortably (Functionality), and should have an aesthetic look, even seamless design that fits any possible environment (Appearance).

In analyzing the distinction between flak and scandal, this investigation focuses on the discourse around Solyndra in 2011–2012 on two media platforms. Solyndra was a solar panel firm that went bankrupt after receiving American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (‘The Stimulus’) funds. The analysis shows that National Review—a rightwing journal of opinion that increasingly operates as an online platform—unswervingly utilized the Solyndra bankruptcy as an instrument of political combat. Following flak lines rehearsed by Republicans in congressional hearings, National Review narrated Solyndra as scandalous evidence of the Obama administration’s putative ineptitude and/or criminality that, moreover, discredited the efficacy of green energy. The performance of the mainstream newspaper The Washington Post presented a grab-bag mix as its objective methods insinuated flak packaged as scandal into stories when they followed Republican talking points. At the same time, The Washington Post’s discourse noted that no evidence of administration corruption was discovered despite extensive investigation and that government intervention into the economy is often highly beneficial.

Advances in technology and information provide new opportunities for preachers to be able to take part in spreading Islamic teachings through various social media platforms. One of the preachers who took the role to preach through social media was Habib Husein Jafar al-Hadar. This article examines Habib Husein Jafars missionary activities on the social media platform he uses, Youtube. The researcher analyzes the data by observing virtually and visually (virtual ethnography) on the dakwa content displayed by Habib Husein Jafar through Youtube. The study shows that: 1) the attention to the spiritual enlightenment efforts of the younger generation is the basis of the selection of the social media platform Youtube - because based on previous research, the users of this social media platform are 18-29 years of age; 2) starting from the dakwa consumers who are primarily young people, the content they present is suitable to their needs and lifestyle and 3) by using the concept of the circuit of culture analysis, Habib Husein Jafar in various ranges can reconstruct people's perception of ones definition of holiness. It is not limited based on normative appearance - cloaked and sacrificed, for example - but more on the substantive side, namely by behaving and having knowledgeable skills. With the variety of content, he could visualize himself as a pious young man by not abandoning his social status as a young person.

Kendine mal etme bir diğer adıyla temellük, genel olarak sanat eserlerinin alıntılanarak yeniden yorumlanması ve üretilmesi olarak açıklanabilir. Kendine mal etme, önceleri de görülmesine karşın postmodern dönemle ilişkilendirilmektedir. Yüksek sanatın eski önemini yitirdiği çoğulcu anlayışın öne çıktığı, kolaj ve montajın yaygınlaştığı postmodern dönemde sanatçılar; göstergelerarasılık kapsamında alıntı, pastiş, parodi, öykünme ve benzeri kullanım biçimleriyle farklı ifade ve etkiler içeren yeniden üretimler gerçekleştirmektedirler. Sanatçılar söz konusu yeniden üretim biçimleri aracılığıyla alıntıladıkları yapıtları, anlam ve içerik olarak farklı bağlamlarda kullandıkları gibi benzer eğilimler içerisinde de kullanabilmektedir. Çalışmada postmodern dönemin sanatsal nitelikleri doğrultusunda “kendine mal etme” kavramı üzerinde durularak İspanyol sanatçı Lluis Barba’nın “Amerikan Gotik”, “Atina Okulu” ve “Başak Toplayanlar” adlı yeniden üretim yapıtları, orijinalleriyle ilişkilendirilerek göstergelerarasılık bağlamında incelenmiştir.

Kampüs, lisans eğitimi için öğrencilerin dört yıl veya daha fazla bir zaman diliminde kullandığı yaşam alanıdır. Kampüs alanında eğitim binaları ve idari birimlere ek olarak sosyal ihtiyaçların da karşılanması için kamusal mekânlar yer almaktadır. Kampüs yaşantısında öğrencilerin sosyalleşebilecekleri çeşitli mekânların olması çok yönlü gelişimleri açısından oldukça önemlidir. Bu anlamda üniversite özelinde öğrencilerin hem eğlenebilecekleri hem de farklı disiplinlerde çalışabilecek alanları bünyesinde barındıran öğrenci yaşam merkezleri dikkat çekmektedir. Ülkemizdeki üniversite kampüslerinde de çeşitli işlevleri bünyesinde barındıran öğrenci yaşam merkezleri yer almaktadır. Bununla birlikte öğrenci merkezlerinde herhangi bir standart olmaması yapılan bu merkezlerin sosyal ihtiyacı ne kadar karşıladığı sorusunu beraberinde getirmektedir. Bu çalışmada Erzurum Atatürk Üniversitesi kampüsündeki bowling salonunun Öğrenci Yaşam Merkezi’ne dönüşümünün iç mimari proje ve uygulamasından bahsedilmiştir. Çalışmanın amacı, Erzurum Atatürk Üniversitesi kampüsündeki mevcut bowling salonunun Öğrenci Yaşam Merkezi’ne dönüşümünün iç mimari proje ve uygulaması ile yurt içi ve yurt dışında yer alan on iki örneğin işlevsel ve mekânsal boyutlarının karşılaştırılarak analizidir. Birinci adımda yurt içi yurt dışında yer alan öğrenci yaşam merkezi projeleri incelenmiş ve altışar adet proje seçilmiştir. Ardından seçilen projeler ve yapılan uygulama projesiyle ilgili bilgilendirme yapılmıştır. Üçüncü adımda ise toplam on iki örnek ile yapılan projede yer alan işlevler ve boyutlar tablolaştırılmıştır. Sonuç olarak, uygulanan projenin işlevsel ve boyutsal niteliği ortaya koyulmuştur. Bu bağlamda yapılan çalışma ile Atatürk üniversitesinde yapılan öğrenci merkezi uygulamasının yurt içi ve yurt dışı örneklerle karşılaştırılmış; sonuç olarak sosyal ihtiyaçların karşılanması için öğrenci merkezlerinde gerekli olan işlev programı için bir öneri oluşturulmuştur.

In this study, the Soviet animation cinema's ideological discourses, which showed the consequences and reflections of the political ideology of the era, were examined. In line with the findings, it was considered that these animated films constitute a kind of cultural memory that exhibits the political history and social culture of the Soviets. The article's ideological discourse analysis method was applied by considering Teun A. van Dijk's study titled Ideological Discourse Analysis. As part of this research, because ideological discourses were analyzed, only short films with propaganda content were regarded among Soviet animations, and the scope of the study was restricted. Furthermore, the date range taken about the films was the term of Soyuzmultfilm, the official animation studio of the Soviet Union. The films created by the studio, which began its actions in 1936 until the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, were taken into account. The conclusions of discourse analysis were evaluated according to the headings 'self-identity', 'activity', 'goal', 'norm and value', 'position and relation' and 'resource' mentioned in the article Ideological Discourse Analysis, and the ideological discourses in Soviet animated cinema were analyzed.

Corporate websites are one of the most effective tools for the organization to communicate with its target audience. In addition to being effective communication tools, corporate websites also support corporate communications and help the formation of corporate identity. Corporate identity is a completely planned visual process in which the character of the corporation is expressed. Determining the extent of the usage of these tools and applications in the websites of corporates is important in terms of presenting the current situation and making predictions for the future. Universities use web sites to communicate effectively, efficiently and quickly with their internal and external stakeholders and hence make use of websites as promotional tools. In this study, the websites of the universities ranked top ten according to URAP 2020-2021 (University Ranking by Academic Performance) have been analyzed with content analysis method in the context of cultural identity dimensions. This study aims to determine how universities satisfy their promotional and informative purposes through websites, how they reflect the information on the website to their users, how they use visual and auditory elements to support the information and therefore, how they make use of websites of the faculties as promotional tools, Günümüzde kurumsal web siteleri kurumun hedef kitleleri ile iletişimini sağlamada en etkili araçlardan biri olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Kurumsal web siteleri, etkili bir iletişim aracı olmasının yanı sıra kurumsal iletişimi desteklemekte ve kurumsal kimlik oluşumuna yardımcı olmaktadır. Kurum kimliği, bir kurumun kişiliğinin ifade edildiği, tamamı planlanmış görsel bir süreçtir. Kurumların web sayfalarında bu araç ve uygulamaların ne ölçüde kullanıldıklarının belirlenmesi hem mevcut durumun ortaya konması hem de geleceğe yönelik kestirimler yapabilmek adına önemlidir. Bu noktada üniversiteler, iç ve dış paydaşlarıyla etkin, verimli ve hızlı iletişim kurmak amacıyla web sitelerini kullanmakta, bu doğrultuda web sitelerinden tanıtım amaçlı bir araç olarak faydalanmaktadır. Bu araştırmada, URAP 2020-2021 (University Ranking by Academic Performance) verilerine göre sıralamada ilk 10 içerisinde yer alan üniversitelerin web siteleri kurumsal kimlik boyutları bağlamında içerik analizi yöntemi ile analiz edilmiştir. Araştırmada üniversitelerin hedef kitlelerine yönelik tanıtım ve bilgilendirme amaçlarını web siteleri aracılığıyla nasıl gerçekleştirdikleri, web sitelerindeki bilgileri kullanıcılarına nasıl yansıttıkları, görsel işitsel öğeleri bilgileri destekler şekilde nasıl kullandıkları, bu bağlamda fakültelerin web sitelerinden bir tanıtım aracı olarak nasıl yararlandıkları tespit edilmeye çalışılacaktır.

Bu araştırma ile, küreselleşme sürecinde değişen paradigmalar, kapitalizm ve enformasyon sistemleri üzerinden ele alınacaktır. Araştırmada, tüketim toplumunun bir aracı olarak, küreselleşme süreci ile ortaya çıkan yeni teori ve arayışlar, sanat ve tasarıma yansımaları bakımından incelemek amaçlanmaktadır. Tüketim kavramı, kendi başına küreselleşme sürecinde kapitalist oluşumun temel taşlarından birini oluşturmaktadır. Bu görüşle bakıldığında, günlük yaşantıda alışkanlıklarımıza bağlı sürdürülebilir ya da kullan-at niteliğinde olan nesnelerin yeri, ihtiyaç olmaktan öte bir anlama taşınarak bağlamını genişletmektedir. Özetle, kapitalist sistemin getirdiği toplumsal değişim ve metalaşma eğilimi, bireyin nesnelere olan tutumunu belirlemektedir. Tüketim nesnesi olarak sanat ve tasarımın, içerisinde tüketici davranışları, kültürel oluşum, popülerizm, markalaşma, vb. gibi bu sürece ait olan kavramlar ile sürekli devinim içerisinde ilerlediği görülmektedir. Bu devinimi oluşturan değer kavramı, metalaşma eğilimi içerisindeki toplumun çevresinde şekillenmektedir. Bu bakımdan incelendiğinde; araştırmanın temel problemini bir tüketim nesnesi olarak sanat/ tasarım, toplumsal süreçte değişen paradigmalar üzerinden şekillendiği anlayışı belirlemektedir. Bu araştırma, gerekli alan yazın taramalarıyla elde edilen veri ve içeriklerle, nitel araştırma yöntemi aracılığıyla oluşturulmuştur. Araştırma konusu ile taranacak veriler üzerinden, sanat ve tasarım alanında ortaya çıkan yeni tavır ve anlayışlar üzerinden görsel örnekler ile konu desteklenmek istenmektedir. Sonuç olarak, tüketim toplumunun oluşumunda kültürel ve toplumsal normların belirleyiciliği faktörü kitlelere ulaşma/ erişim bakımından oldukça önemli görülmektedir. Bu bağlamda, içerisinde yaşadığımız zaman diliminin nasıl bir şekle/ nesneye bürüneceği yani nasıl metalaşacağı, süreç içerisindeki paradigmaların oluşumuna göre değişkenlik göstermektedir. Araştırmanın, konuya bu bakış açısıyla sunularak, kuramsal olarak alan yazına büyük ölçüde katkı sağlayacağı öngörülmektedir., In this research, the paradigms changing with globalization on the consumer society, capitalism and information systems; it aims to examined through art and design as a consumption object / commodity. In the research, as a tool of the consumer society, new theories and searches that emerged with the globalization process will be presented in terms of their reflections on art and design. The concept of consumption is one of the basic structures of the capitalist formation in the process of globalization on its own. From this point of view, the place of sustainable and disposable objects related to our habits in daily life extends its context by carrying a meaning beyond need. Briefly, social change and the trend of commodification offered by the capitalist system, determines the individual's attitude towards objects.Art and design as a consumption object, consumer behavior, cultural formation, populism, branding etc. observed that it evolves continuously with such concepts. The concept of value that creates this motion, it is shaped around the society in the tendency to commodify. From this perspective; the main problem of the research, is the understanding of Art/ Design as a consumption object, it is shaping by changing paradigms in the social process. This research was created through the Qualitative research method, with the data and contents obtained through the necessary literature reviews. Based on the research subject and the data to be scanned, it is aimed to support the subject with visual examples through new attitudes and understandings in the field of art and design.As a result, the determination of cultural and social norms in the formation of the consumer society seems to be very important in terms of access to the masses. In this context, to be shape or object of the time period we live in, so how to commodify, it varies according to the formation of paradigms in the process. The research, presented to the subject from this perspective, theoretically it is predicted to contribute to the literature to a great extent.

The Nigerian journalist has lost his monopoly of information gathering, dissemination and control with the involvement of citizens in ‘journalism’ through social media especially Whatsapp. The objective of this paper is to show how through social media, with emphasis on Whatsapp, Nigerian citizens have been able to find their voices and can now contribute to societal well-being and development by embarking on information gathering and reporting. It uses participant-observation method to interrogate how citizen journalism has engendered development via negative journalism practice. The findings indicate that the government and other relevant stakeholders in the society respond to the voices of the people on issues which ordinarily would have been muted by conventional journalism practice or ignored by government. It concludes that citizen journalism through unconscious and unprofessional practice engenders development by somehow making government accountable through its response to issues of concern in areas that would otherwise, have been muted. Keywords: social media, citizen journalism, development, communication vices, Whatspp, Nigeria

Video oyunları ve sinema sektörünün kesişim noktalarından biri uyarlama konusudur. Filmlerden video oyunlarına veya video oyunlarından filmlere uyarlanan birçok yapım vardır. Bu çalışmada ise video oyunlarından uyarlanan filmlerin seyirci tarafındaki karşılığının tanımlanması hedeflenmiştir. Seyirci ve oyuncu, uyarlanan bu yapımların parçalarından biridir, onların konumu bu yapımların geleceğini şekillendirmesinde rol oynamaktadır, bu bağlamda bu çalışmada elde edilen sonuçlar bu yapımların potansiyelinin de ifade edilmesini sağlaması açısından değerlidir. Bu çalışmada objektif sonuçlara ulaşabilmek için iki farklı yöntem kullanılmıştır; sinema sektöründeki profesyoneller ve sinema eğitimi görmüş toplam da 11 kişiyle çevrimiçi anket, www.imdb.com ve www.metascore.com adlı film kritik sitelerinde verilen puanlar ve kayıtlı kullanıcıların yazdıkları yorumlardan toplanan verilerin analizi. Seyircilerden elde edilen bu yorumların analiziyle seyircilerin odaklandıkları noktalar tespit edilmiştir, çevrimiçi anket yöntemiyle de sinema eğitimi almış veya sinema sektörü içinde profesyonel olan kişilerin verdikleri cevaplarla da konu hakkında hem ön görü hem de içinde bulunan durum hakkında bilgi sağlanmıştır. Bu yöntemler kendi içlerinde, sonuç kısmında ise iki yöntemin sonuçları birleştirilerek analiz edilmiştir. Sonuç olarak ise seyircinin bu filmleri oyundan ayırmadan değerlendirdiği ve bu iş birliğinin gelişerek devam etmesini arzuladıkları yönündedir. Başarısız bulunan film örneklerinin video oyunlar hakkında belirleyici olmadığı tespit edilmiştir. Seyircinin, bu türün gelişeceğini daha başarılı sonuçların elde edileceğini düşünmesine rağmen oyun içindeki aktif olma duygusunun film içinde pasif olma duygusuna daha baskın bir şekilde yaşandığı anlaşılmıştır. Seyircinin filmlerle kurduğu ilişkinin video oyun merkezli olduğu, oyunda hissettiği duyguları ve oyunla ilgili detayları filmin iç yapısında da aradığı görülmüştür.

Religious communities use the internet as a spiritual network to seek spiritual goals, and they interpret it through narratives shared through online spaces. This emphasizes the need for freedom and spiritual experiences so that they can share with others. So, people often associate their participation in online religion with a level of spirituality and confirmation of religious identity. Online religion seeks to adapt religion to form a network of spiritual interactions. This study discusses the use of the Internet by Majlis Tafsir Al-Qur’an (MTA) on the website www.mta.or.id in communicating ideology to the congregation. This research data collection uses the method of observation and documentation. The results of this study indicate that the use of digital technology by MTA is to promote ideology. MTA announces content regarding manhaj, terrorism, politics, the spirit of friendship / ukhuwah between members, and cooperation between scholars and the government.

Art and archaeology have a growing interaction, which is expressed mainly in displaying the material culture of ancient civilizations. The post-modernist concept suggests that art is for everyone. Likewise, archaeologists recognize the idea that archaeological narratives are supposed to be everyone to understand and enjoy. Today, many museum displays and special exhibitions consist of contemporary design features of art. The technology-driven exhibition techniques applied in the “Curious Case of Çatalhöyük” exhibition and Göbeklitepe Animation Center to increase the perception of visitors establish the basis of the study. The paper examines the backgrounds of the relation between two disciplines by “digging” up the history of archaeological theories and analyzing main art movements corresponding to a period from Dadaism to contemporary art. Archaeological storytelling of history and culture using post-modern rhetoric is defined as the “close encounter.” The interactive display provides new directions in the visual reconstructions of past societies. We proposed that the Çatalhöyük exhibition and Göbeklitepe Animation Center are among the best examples of the new approach for presentation in archaeology.

By studying the fraudulent benefits of flexibility in the ride-hailing gig economy, this article explains alienation as a condition in which workers are excluded from the product, estranged, and disadvantaged. Material estrangement, an objective aspect of alienation exemplified by arbitrary distribution of income, capitalists’ exclusive access to data, and robotic communication between Uber and their drivers, has many physiological (subjective) manifestations. Dissatisfaction, powerlessness, and isolation as subjective expressions of alienation prominently shape the prospects of collective labour mobilisation by both sparking and hindering organisational potential. Additionally, the example of workers’ re-appropriation of Uber’s app against Uber explains how modern technologies serve not only as a medium to expand capitalist interests, but enhance possibilities for labour cooperation and liberation. The proposed argumentation uses the Autonomist Marxist concept of “social factory” as a meta-framework, drawing on original ethnographic and interview data on ride-hailing Uber drivers in the gig economy.

Düşünme, karmaşık zihinsel eylemleri içeren, bireysel farklılıklar gösteren bir beceridir. Düşünme yetisi insanoğlunu diğer canlılardan üstün kılan en önemli özelliğidir Bireysel farklılıklar düşünmenin farklı türlere evrilmesine neden olmaktadır. Analitik düşünme de bir bütüne ait tüm parçaları düşünme ve anlama eylemi olarak tanımlanabilir. Analitik düşünme felsefesine göre bütünü anlayabilmek için bütüne ait tüm parçaların anlaşılması gerekmektedir. Analitik düşünme yaklaşımında parçadan bütüne doğru bir akış vardır. Başka bir deyişle tümevarımsal bir yaklaşımdır. Bu bağlamda düşünüldüğünde bir iç mekânın anlaşılabilmesi, iç mekâna ait tüm öğelerin tek tek anlaşılması ve bütünle ilişkisinin kurulmasıyla sağlanabilir. Alan yazın taraması sonucunda analitik bir iç mekân çözümleme aracı ile ilgili sınırlı sayıda çalışmaya ulaşılmıştır. Bu nedenle araştırmanın amacı analitik bir iç mekân çözümleme aracı geliştirmek ve bir örnek kapsamında geliştirilen bu yöntemi değerlendirmek olarak belirlenmiştir. Bu amaç doğrultusunda bir iç mekân çözümleme aracı geliştirilmiş ve Mersin Tren İstasyon Binası bu araç kapsamında değerlendirme altına alınmıştır.

Recent global social changes and phenomena like #MeToo and Time’s Up Movement, the visibility of feminism in popular media (e.g., Beyonce or the TV series Orange is the New Black), the increase of datafication and fake news have not only put pressure on the media and entertainment industry and the content produced, but also generated critique, change and questions in the public debate on gender in general and (the backlash on) gender studies around the world. But are these phenomena also game changers for research on media and gender? In this thematic issue we want to provide insight in recent developments and trends in research on gender and media. What are the dominant ideas and debates in this research field and how do they deal with all of the changes in the media scape (e.g., platformization, the dominance of algorithms and datafication, slacktivism, and gender inequalities in media production). Moreover, how do current debates, theoretical insights and methods communicate with those in the past? The research field has changed rapidly over the last 10 years with repercussions on the conceptualisation of gender, its intersections with other identities markers (e.g., age, ethnicity, class, disabilities, sexualities, etc.), and media audiences’ responses to these developments. We welcome contributions within the scope of gender and media and which are topical in the way they introduce new concepts, theoretical insights, new methods or new research subjects.

With over one billion monthly users worldwide (Constine, 2018) and being embedded in the everyday lives of many young people, Instagram has become a common topic of discussion both in popular media and scholarly debates. As young women are amongst the predominant active users of Instagram (WeAreSocial, 2019) and the demographic stereotypically associated with online self-representation (Burns, 2015), Instagram carries an underlying gendered political potential. This is manifested through online political practices such as hashtag activism (Highfield, 2016), as well as through Instagram’s use of user-generated content to challenge existing politics of representation, broadening the scope of who is considered photographable (Tiidenberg, 2018). This article explores how this gendered political potential is understood by young women using Instagram. This research is based on 13 in-depth interviews with a theoretical sample of female ‘ordinary’ Instagram users (i.e., not celebrities or Insta-famous), aged 18–35. Our findings illustrate how the perception of political potential is grounded in the participants’ understanding of Instagram as an aesthetically-oriented platform (Manovich, 2017). Most participants recognised the potential for engaging in visibility politics (Whittier, 2017), representing a wider diversity of femininities often absent from popular media. However, this was seen as tempered by the co-existence of idealised beauty conventions and the politics of popularity within social media (Van Dijck & Poell, 2013). Furthermore, this political potential is accompanied by the possibility of receiving backlash or being dismissed as a slacktivist (Glenn, 2015). As Instagram becomes a central part of contemporary visual cultures, this article seeks to critically explore the nuanced ways in which young women’s everyday experiences of Instagram intersect with broader cultural and political questions of gender representation.

Este estudio presenta una descripción de los diferentes mecanismos que se han empleado en las universidades públicas estatales en México para intervenir en casos de violencia de género. Su objetivo es analizar el conocimiento que las estudiantes de una escuela de educación superior tienen acerca de las acciones que su institución ha diseñado para prevenir, atender y erradicar el hostigamiento sexual en la comunidad universitaria. Se realizó un estudio descriptivo a través de la aplicación de una escala Likert a estudiantes mujeres de una escuela de educación superior en México. Entre los hallazgos más sobresalientes se encontraron que las estudiantes desconocen los mecanismos de denuncia de hostigamiento y destacan la importancia de la difusión de las políticas institucionales para la presentación de la queja, así como la trascendencia del papel que desempeña el docente tutor en el empoderamiento de las estudiantes para la presentación de la denuncia de hostigamiento.
