Reporting Genocide Media, Mass Violence and Human Rights


Free Download David Patrick, "Reporting Genocide: Media, Mass Violence and Human Rights "
English | ISBN: 1784537225 | 2017 | 304 pages | EPUB | 833 KB
The Western world’s responses to genocide have been slow, unwieldly and sometimes unfit for purpose. So argues David Patrick in this essential new contribution to the aid and intervention debate. While the UK and US have historically been committed to the ideals of human rights, freedom and equality, their actual material reactions are more usually dictated by geopolitical ‘noise’, pre-conceived ideas of worth and the media attention-spans of individual elected leaders. Utilizing a wide-ranging quantitative analysis of media reporting across the globe, Patrick argues that an over-reliance on the Holocaust as the framing device we use to try and come to terms with such horrors can lead to slow responses, misinterpretation and category errors – in both Rwanda and Bosnia, much energy was expended trying to ascertain whether these regions qualified for ‘genocide’ status. The Reporting of Genocide demonstrates how such tragedies are reduced to stereotypes in the media – framed in terms of innocent victims and brutal oppressors – which can over-simplify the situation on the ground. This in turn can lead to mixed and inadequate responses from governments.

Culture and Economy in the Age of Social Media


Free Download Christian Fuchs, "Culture and Economy in the Age of Social Media"
English | 2015 | pages: 435 | ISBN: 1138839310, 1138839299 | PDF | 3,6 mb
Understanding social media requires us to engage with the individual and collective meanings that diverse stakeholders and participants give to platforms. It also requires us to analyse how social media companies try to make profits, how and which labour creates this profit, who creates social media ideologies, and the conditions under which such ideologies emerge. In short, understanding social media means coming to grips with the relationship between culture and the economy. In this thorough study, Christian Fuchs, one of the leading analysts of the Internet and social media, delves deeply into the subject by applying the approach of cultural materialism to social media, offering readers theoretical concepts, contemporary examples, and proposed opportunities for political intervention.

Redefining Sports Media


Free Download Redefining Sports Media
English | 2023 | ISBN: 0367751275 | 139 Pages | PDF (True) | 3 MB
What count as "sports media" in journals, books, and conferences are extremely diverse; they can cover athlete expression on social media, shoe commercials, gender in sports commentary, Indigenous name change activists, and fantasy sports. Besides being mediated and, in some cases, loosely connected to sports events and leagues, it is hard to see what they all share that could serve as the foundation for a unified field of study. Jason Kido Lopez argues that sports media are defined by genre, which is reflected in their industries, within their content, and by their audiences. Throughout the media and cultural complex, sports and sports media are built on the genre of live and real competition and, therefore, to study sports media is to study that genre. Each chapter will explore how the genre is constructed in commodification of mediated sport, representation within sports media, athlete expression, sports fandom, and gaming around sports.

Pop Culture and Power Teaching Media Literacy for Social Justice


Free Download Dawn H. Currie, "Pop Culture and Power: Teaching Media Literacy for Social Justice"
English | ISBN: 1487507593 | 2022 | 336 pages | EPUB | 2 MB
Literacy education has historically characterized mass media as manipulative towards young people who, as a result, are in need of close-reading "skills." By contrast, Pop Culture and Power treats literacy as a dynamic practice, shaped by its social and cultural context. It develops a framework to analyse power in its various manifestations, arguing that power works through popular culture, not as everyday media. Pop Culture and Power thus explores media engagement as an opportunity to promote social change.

Pixilated Practices Media, Ritual, and Identity


Free Download Christopher Peyton Miller, "Pixilated Practices: Media, Ritual, and Identity"
English | ISBN: 1725260220 | 2020 | 120 pages | EPUB | 199 KB
Media is a big part of our lives. We see and hear it everywhere. In this book Miller demonstrates how media has taken the place of ritual(s). Our everyday lives are constantly facilitated by media rituals. This media ritual process exists regardless of its content and is a phenomenon that overcomes our subjective experience with a constant flux of representations and seduction. Memory and mind are in a perpetual process of re-imaging, distortion, and violence. Human relationships can be comprised of sheer information sharing from any distance around the globe. The objective world around us is experienced and interpreted through the virtual worlds we are forced to participate in. The dialectic is barred and the flood of media images captures us in the univocal. Persons then understand that truth comes from their singular, isolated, and violated self. Therefore, the body in the real world feels foreign and we feel dissociated and anxious, reaching in a vain attempt for more media to fill and restore our bodily and spiritual needs. Our personhood and everything that we are lie under the influence of this media ritual process.
