About this topic
New Media refers to digital forms of communication and content that emerged with the rise of the internet and digital technologies, encompassing platforms such as social media, blogs, podcasts, and streaming services. It contrasts with traditional media by emphasizing interactivity, user-generated content, and the rapid dissemination of information.
Key research themes
1. How is the concept of 'newness' constructed and experienced in new media across sociocultural contexts?
This research theme focuses on unpacking the socio-cultural construction of 'newness' in new media, moving beyond technological determinism to examine how media users interpret and integrate new technologies within historical and cultural continuities. It explores how new media relates dialectically with older media forms and how identities and communication practices are reshaped through emerging participant structures.

Key finding: Anthropological studies emphasize that the newness of media is constructed contextually by users who continuously negotiate media hierarchies and meanings in relation to older media. This approach foregrounds media ecologies whereby multiple media co-exist and interact, affecting interpretations of new media’s affordances and their sociocultural significance.

Key finding: Linguistic anthropology frames newness in media as emerging through changed participant structures that alter communicative roles, identities, and coordination practices. New media thus enable new social roles, publics, and kinds of political and cultural engagement, illustrating that newness resides in sociomaterial practices rather than in technology alone.

Key finding: Empirical inquiry into media users’ lifeworlds reveals that conceptions of old and new media are relative and relational, grounded in media ideologies shaped by everyday experiences. This research stresses that media change must be contextualized within ongoing media genealogies, continuities, and transformations as understood by users themselves.

2. What theoretical frameworks best explain the processes and impacts of media innovation in contemporary media landscapes?
This research area interrogates media innovation through the lenses of innovation theory, focusing on the multifaceted nature of innovation (product, process, position, paradigmatic, genre, and social innovation) and the socio-economic and cultural conditions shaping media transformations. It integrates constructivist, economic, and interactionist perspectives to deepen understanding of how media change unfolds and what influences it.

This paper provides an entry into a decolonial approach to AI driven music and sound arts by describing an ongoing artistic research project Dhvāni. The project is a series of responsive, self-regulating, and autonomous installations driven by Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning and incorporating ritual and sacred sounds from South Asia. Such mélange re-emphasizes and advocates for the values of interconnectivity, codependence, network, and community with a decolonial approach. By giving the AI an autonomous agency, the project aims to reimagine the future of AI with an inter-subjective reciprocity in human-machine assemblages transcending the technologically deterministic approach to AI-driven live art, media arts and music. Through unpacking the project, this paper underscores the necessity to dehegemonize the AI-driven music field towards a transcultural exchange, thereby transcend the field's Eurocentric bias.

This essay examines Unilever's Sustainable Living Plan (USLP), launched in 2010 and concluded in 2020, as a landmark case study in corporate sustainability change management. Facing significant environmental and social pressures across a global value chain spanning approximately 150,000 direct suppliers and over 400 brands in 190 countries, Unilever designed an ambitious ten-year initiative structured around three pillars: improving health and well-being, halving its environmental footprint, and enhancing stakeholder livelihoods. The analysis situates the USLP within its macroeconomic and organizational context, including the post-financial crisis regulatory landscape, growing ESG investor pressure, and the governance shift catalyzed by CEO Paul Polman. The initiative is assessed through four established management frameworks: Porter and Kramer's Creating Shared Value, Elkington's Triple Bottom Line, Kotter's 8-Step Change Model, and Freeman's Stakeholder Theory. While the USLP achieved notable operational milestones, including zero manufacturing waste to landfill and expanded hygiene programs, it fell short on key supply chain commitments such as sustainable palm oil sourcing. Critical tensions are identified between relative and absolute environmental decoupling, between systemic ambition and governance fragility, and between CEO-driven transformation and long-term institutional anchoring. The USLP is presented as both a model of strategically integrated sustainability leadership and a cautionary reflection on the structural limits of firm-level action in the absence of industry-wide systemic change.

This study investigates the altmetric performance and citation trends of highly cited open access (OA) publications, shedding light on the interplay between online metrics and scholarly impact. Utilising data from Dimensions and Scopus databases, a cohort of 25 influential OA publications was selected from a pool of over 44 million publications. The selected articles, authored by 83 individuals from 11 countries and 45 organisations, displayed significant multi-author collaboration. These publications collectively cited 917 external sources and garnered over 1.6 million citations each from both Dimensions and Scopus databases. Temporal analysis revealed publication trends spanning from 1951 to 2018, with articles, conference papers and reviews constituting the most prevalent document types. A comprehensive survey of source journals showcased diverse disciplinary origins. Notably, four standout publications-"Protein Measurement with the Folin Phenol Reagent," "Deep Residual Learning for Image Recognition," "Density-functional thermochemistry. III. "The role of exact exchange", and "Development of the Colle-Salvetti correlation-energy formula into a functional of the electron density"amassed over 80,000 citations each, affirming their significant impact. The correlation between altmetric metrics and Scopus citations was examined, revealing mixed associations. Higher view counts were linked to increased citations, underlining the role of initial visibility. However, usage and captures metrics displayed no substantial correlation with citations. In contrast, mentions and social media metrics demonstrated a significant positive relationship with citations, underscoring the

La presente investigación analiza el impacto de la gestión estratégica de crisis comunicacionales en el ecosistema digital, con un enfoque analítico aplicado a instituciones vinculadas a la Iglesia católica. El estudio se fundamenta en un corpus empírico de 15 casos críticos suscitados en diez países de América Latina y el Caribe entre 2015 y 2025, abarcando contextos organizacionales diversos.Metodología:
Se emplea un modelo de desempeño versus impacto que articula cinco dimensiones variables: emisor, mensaje, destinatario, canal y efectos. La metodología integra técnicas de social listening y procesamiento de lenguaje natural para cuantificar indicadores clave como la tasa de viralidad, el análisis de sentimiento y el comportamiento de redes semánticas. Asimismo, se sistematizan criterios de evaluación para diferenciar incidentes de crisis reales, identificando la tríada de actores maliciosos (haters, trolls y bots) y su capacidad de amplificación del discurso negativo.Resultados y Aportaciones:
El trabajo propone una matriz de 11 claves estratégicas para la prevención, gestión y mitigación de crisis digitales. Destaca la transposición de la teoría de la reputación institucional y digital (huella y sombra digital) al ámbito eclesial, bajo una perspectiva sinodal de comunión y transparencia. La investigación ofrece herramientas pragmáticas para abordar entornos hostiles, incluyendo el manejo de crisis de alta sensibilidad, como los casos de abuso, promoviendo una comunicación integral que sustituya la reacción defensiva por el rigor técnico y la coherencia ética.

Justyna TREPKA-STAROSTA Agnieszka ROSZKOWSKA Transformacja ustrojowa zapoczątkowana w latach dziewięćdziesiątych przy niosła wiele zmian w strukturze politycznej, społecznej, ekonomicznej i kulturo wej Polski. Masowe bezrobocie, inflacja oraz wiele innych czynników doprowadziły do istotnych zróżnicowań poziomu życia społeczeństwa polskiego. Powstały duże rozpiętości pomiędzy wąską grupą osób o bardzo wysokich dochodach i drugą znacznie liczniejszą grupą -osób dotkniętych ubóstwem. W ostatnich latach znacz nie wzrósł odsetek ludzi korzystających z zasiłków dla bezrobotnych oraz innych form pomocy społecznej. Wielu z nich znajduje się na granicy ubóstwa, prawie niemożliwe jest samodzielne utrzymanie się. Szczególnie trudna sytuacja dotyczy rodzin, w których oboje małżonkowie stracili pracę. Często jedynym ich źródłem utrzymania staje się praca dorywcza oraz opieka instytucji pomocowych, środki te nie są jednak wystarczające, w wyniku czego potrzeby tych osób są zminimali zowane, ograniczone do najbardziej niezbędnych. W niniejszym artykule zostały wyeksponowane dwa obszary rozważań. Pierwszy dotyczy problematyki uznawanych wartości osób dotkniętych niedo statkiem materialnym, drugi natomiast -funkcjonowania rodzinnego wspo 2 0 ARTYKUŁY mnianych osób oraz wpływu preferowanych przez nie wartości na ich życie rodzinne. Prezentowane wyniki badań zostały zaczerpnięte z pracy magisterskiej autorstwa Agnieszki Polańskiej, napisanej pod kierunkiem dr Agnieszki Pietrzyk. Problematyka związana z zagadnieniem wartości jest bardzo szeroka. Temat ten zajmuje badaczy wielu dziedzin, między innymi: filozofii, socjolo gii, psychologii. W zależności od zajmowanego stanowiska pojęcie "war tość" nie jest jednoznacznie definiowane, dlatego trudno znaleźć ogólne kryteria pomocne w jego zrozumieniu, człowiek zatem musi przyjąć pewne założenia, które determinują jego sposób myślenia o wartościach. Koncep cje psychologiczne skupiają się głównie na procesach przeżywania wartości, postawach wobec nich oraz na roli akceptowanej hierarchii wartości w ludz kim działaniu. W psychologii wartościom nadaje się często znaczenie "po staw" lub "potrzeb", dlatego często wartość rozumiana jest jako przedmiot czy stan rzeczy, który wzbudza emocje pozytywne i ku któremu jednostka kieruje swoje pragnienia i dążenia. Podstawą rozważań dotyczących w arto ści w niniejszym artykule stała się koncepcja A. Maslowa. Opiera się ona na założeniach, iż wartości układają się w hierarchię potrzeb od biologiczno--fizjologicznych przez potrzeby bezpieczeństwa, miłości, prestiżu i szacun ku, aż po samorealizację; koncepcja ta opiera się na przekonaniu, iż deprywacja potrzeb niższych uniemożliwia jednostce realizację potrzeb wyższych. Autor łączy wartości z potrzebami; idiosynkretyczne potrzeby tworzą idiosynkretyczne wartości . Rodzina traktowana jest jako podstawowa grupa społeczeństwa, pośred nicząca między jednostką a światem zewnętrznym . Jest swoistą mikrostrukturą zapewniającą jednostce podstawowe potrzeby, związane z codzienną egzystencją i kształtującą określone wartości. Na funkcjonowanie rodziny wpływa wiele czynników, do których między innymi należą:

A key front for ethical questions in artificial intelligence, and computer science more generally, is teaching students how to engage with the questions they will face in their professional careers based on the tools and technologies we teach them.  In past work (and current teaching) we have advocated for the use of science fiction as an appropriate tool which enables AI researchers to engage students and the public on the current state and potential impacts of AI. We present teaching suggestions for E.M. Forster's 1909 story, "The Machine Stops," to teach topics in computer ethics.  In particular, we use the story to examine ethical issues related to being constantly available for remote contact, physically isolated, and dependent on a machine --- all without mentioning computer games or other media to which students have strong emotional associations. We give a high-level view of common ethical theories and indicate how they inform the questions raised by the story ...

Propuesta para una t.ingútstícn del Hipertexto o Ciberlingüística Por JOHN ALEXANDER ROBERTO RODRÍGUEZ• UNIVERSITAT POMPEU FABRA 1I._,u Gracias a que en la actualidad la idea del lenguaje tal y como era pensado en los comienzos de la lingüística ha evolucionado extraordinariamente para extenderse a otro tipo de manifestaciones menos convencionales, el hipertexto tiene cabida como objeto de la reflexión yde la práctica lingüísticas. El trabajo con hipertextos nos acerca al reto de dotar de una forma adecuada a los contenidos hipertextuales. La navegación, interactividad, escritura, lectura, generación, integración, representación ydiseño hipertextual constituyen problemas técnicos abiertos a las prácticas lingüísticas. Todo esto nos hace ver la necesidad de una disciplina que se encargue del estudio yel desarrollo del hipertexto en cuanto unidad lingüística.

ReSpace is a teaching module, which entices students in a playful way to work with computers and motivates them to think more deeply about the abstract idea of space. The goal of ReSpace is to enhance the concept of space by augmenting its content with additional levels of information like statements about emotions, by referring to senses, delineating impressions or telling stories and inducing memories. ReSpace takes advantage of the possibilities offered by virtual environments in the transfer of information and suggests space as a metaphor for the communication of ideas, knowledge and experiences about space. In this paper the module ReSpace taught by the author is described. Its central theme is the representation and communication of one's notion, perception, and interpretation of space with the help of a 3D, interactive, virtual, environment.

Media Ownership factor in Nigeria, as the case in many countries, plays a significant role in determining the extent to which the audience perceive media organizations as being socially responsible especially as they service the democratic system. Existing studies have focused on the role of ownership generally in the media industry in Nigeria. However, such studies have given little attention to how public and private radio stations have fared in their social responsibilities to the public. Therefore, with the specific focus on Oyo State, which is one of the states with the highest concentration of radio stations in Nigeria, this study was designed to comparatively examine how public and private radio stations in the State fare in the performance of their expected social responsibilities. This study adopted the Social Responsibility Theory and combined Content Analysis and Survey as research methods. Content analysis revealed that the programme contents of the selected radio stations fairly meet up with the social responsibilities expected of the mass media as there are more of non-sponsored programmes than sponsored programmes in the stations' programme schedules.

La evolución de los conceptos de Alfabetización Digital y Ciudadanía Digital hacia la integración necesaria del Bienestar Digital como una competencia central para el siglo XXI. Basándose en un análisis comparativo y cualitativo (QCARS) de marcos internacionales y en el contexto de la transformación digital contemporánea, se examina cómo la salud mental, la resiliencia emocional y la conciencia algorítmica han pasado de ser temas periféricos a pilares de las políticas públicas.
Es necesario poner especial atención en la evolución de los marcos teóricos clásicos y a los aportes de la gobernanza tecnológica en Iberoamérica. El bienestar digital no es un estado estático, sino un proceso dinámico de autorregulación que requiere un soporte institucional y educativo robusto frente a la disrupción de la Inteligencia Artificial.

This paper seeks to historicize Twitter within a longer historical framework of diaries to better understand not only Twitter but broader communication practices and patterns. Based on a review of historical literature regarding 18th and 19th century diaries, we created a content analysis coding scheme to analyze a random sample of publicly available Twitter messages according to themes in the diaries. Findings suggest commentary and accounting style diaries are the most popular narrative styles on Twitter. Despite important differences between the diaries and Twitter, this analysis suggests long-standing social needs to account, reflect, communicate, and share with others. Communication technologies and services are typically characterized by their "newness". Yet new is a relative term. Research often compares "new" communication technologies with their recent technological predecessors. For example, television was compared with radio when it was first introduced (Barnouw, 1966). More recently scholars have looked to historical communication systems and services to reveal insights into contemporary communication issues

Di tengah lautan informasi yang tak bertepi dan lanskap media yang berubah setiap detik, kemampuan untuk berpikir kritis bukan lagi sebuah pilihan, melainkan sebuah keharusan untuk bertahan. Buku ajar “Literasi Media dan Informasi: Navigasi Kritis di Era Digital” ini dirancang sebagai kompas esensial bagi mahasiswa Ilmu Komunikasi dan siapa pun yang ingin menjadi warga negara digital yang cerdas, berdaya, dan bertanggung jawab.
Buku ini membawa pembaca dalam sebuah perjalanan komprehensif yang dimulai dari fondasi paling dasar: mendefinisikan literasi media, informasi, dan digital sebagai satu kesatuan kompetensi (Bab 1). Pembaca kemudian diajak untuk membedah ekosistem media kontemporer, dari media tradisional hingga kekuatan algoritma di platform digital (Bab 2), serta dibekali perangkat untuk melakukan dekonstruksi pesan media, membongkar makna tersembunyi di balik teks dan gambar (Bab 3). Memasuki jantung era pasca-kebenaran, buku ini memberikan panduan praktis untuk memerangi “polusi informasi” dengan teknik verifikasi dan evaluasi kredibilitas (Bab 4), sebelum beralih dari analisis ke praktik dengan mengajarkan cara memproduksi konten yang etis dan bertanggung jawab (Bab 5). Perjalanan dilanjutkan dengan menjelajahi peran kita sebagai warga negara di dunia maya, membahas hak dan kewajiban digital, etiket (netiket), hingga partisipasi politik (Bab 6). Isu-isu krusial seperti privasi, keamanan data, dan pengelolaan jejak digital dibahas secara mendalam untuk membentengi diri dari ancaman siber (Bab 7). Pembaca kemudian diajak masuk ke “ruang mesin” platform digital untuk memahami cara kerja algoritma (Bab 8) dan dampaknya yang mendalam pada psikologi kita dalam kerangka ekonomi perhatian (Bab 9). Sebagai puncak dari penerapan ilmu, buku ini memandu mahasiswa untuk menggunakan literasi media sebagai alat advokasi sosial dan politik (Bab 10), sambil tetap waspada terhadap isu hukum dan etika, terutama terkait UU ITE dan hak cipta di Indonesia (Bab 11). Keterampilan analisis dipertajam lebih lanjut melalui literasi visual dan data, membekali pembaca untuk membaca grafik dan gambar secara kritis (Bab 12). Menatap masa depan, buku ini ditutup dengan dua bab visioner yang membahas tantangan dan peluang di era Kecerdasan Buatan (AI) (Bab 13) dan tren teknologi mendatang seperti Metaverse dan Web3 (Bab 14), sambil menegaskan kembali pentingnya keterampilan berpikir kritis dan pembelajaran seumur hidup.
Dengan pendekatan yang sistematis, kaya akan studi kasus relevan, dan dilengkapi latihan praktis di setiap bab, buku ini tidak hanya bertujuan untuk menciptakan konsumen media yang cerdas, tetapi juga membentuk calon profesional komunikasi yang mampu menjadi arsitek narasi, penjaga etika, dan agen perubahan di dunia yang semakin kompleks.

Political communication is the process through which political actors, media institutions, and citizens create, exchange, and interpret messages that shape public opinion, political behavior, and democratic life. It encompasses how governments communicate policies, how media select and frame political information, how campaigns design strategic messages, and how citizens engage through traditional and digital platforms. Political communication also involves persuasion, public relations, public opinion formation, and the influence of emotions, identity, and cognitive biases. In modern societies, it is shaped by changing media systems, global information flows, and the rise of digital networks, making it essential for understanding how political meaning is constructed, contested, and communicated.

Introduction
S’il y a un mot qui a été le plus galvaudé en cette fin et début
de siècle, c’est bien le mot communication. Dans l’administration
aujourd’hui, il est de coutume d’entendre justifier tout échec d’un
programme gouvernemental par un problème de communication :
c’est un problème de communication, Il n’y a pas eu de
communication sur tel ou tel sujet, on ne communique pas chez
nous, etc.
La communication publique, l’expression est suffisamment
évocatrice, de prime abord pour signifier les acteurs et/ou les
utilisateurs de ce couloir de la communication des organisations.
Mais à toucher du doigt sa pratique, l’on note illico la difficulté
qu’il y a pour les agents publics chargés de la mettre en œuvre de
cerner les angles professionnels de cette spécialité de la
communication des organisations. En effet, les responsables des
institutions publiques sensés être les plus aguerris à s’exprimer sur
la question restent encore dans une inculture quant à faire
comprendre ce concept aux profanes et à lui trouver une
justification évidente.
Pourtant, le défi est grand et les enjeux énormes puisqu’il s’agit
de mettre en lumière les activités des institutions publiques aux
citoyens qui en ont besoin car étant les principaux bénéficiaires
des actions que mènent ces institutions. C’est aussi un devoir du
côté des premiers et un droit pour les seconds. L’information, plus
que ce dont nous parlons ici, est devenue un produit qui se
consomme chaque jour. Mais lorsqu’elle provient d’un ministère
ou d’une collectivité décentralisée ou encore d’une institution
publique ou parapublique, il s’agit d’un droit pour les récepteurs
(les citoyens) à partir du moment où tout ce que l’on fait dans ces
institutions est en faveur de l’intérêt général.
Aussi est-il question, et l’enjeu devient plus grand, d’un
échange entre les pouvoirs publics et la population pour qui on
travaille. Faciliter la compréhension et l’acceptation par les
publics des lois, des décisions et de la réglementation en relation
avec l’action publique apparaît très important tant en interne qu’en
externe, puisqu’il faut vulgariser les missions et les construire,

Syftet med denna uppsats var att se hur Nordiska Afrikainstitutet använder sig av sociala medier och hur de tillämpar den information som organisationen kommunicerat via de sociala medierna. Teoretisk ram: Uppsatsen utgår ifrån teorier som ger överblick i hur traditionella och moderna kommunikationsredskap fungerar. Därutöver har ett analytiskt instrument använts som kartlägger kommunikationsprocesser i organisationer samt hur dessa tar tillvara på ny kunskap. Den teoretiska referensram består av följande teorier: Media Richness modellen samt de två artiklarna On using organizational knowledge capabilities to assist organizational learning samt Virtual worlds as platforms for communities of pratices från antologin Knowledge management and organizational learning. Metod: Uppsatsen bygger på en kvalitativ metod. Det empiriska materialet har samlats in genom respondentintervjuer, dessa bestod av telefonintervjuer samt epostkorrespondens. För att urskilja respondenterna har ett snöbollsurval använts. Intervjuerna har därefter analyserats utifrån den teoretiska referensramen. Resultat: Resultatet av undersökningen visar att både traditionella och sociala medier används vid institutet där de traditionella medierna anses trovärdiga men inte alltid flexibla. De sociala medier som används är Facebook, Twitter och institutets egna forum kallat NAI-forum. Undersökningen visar att de sociala medierna är en användbar kanal för nå ut till flertalet användare på ett informellt sätt. Tendenser visar att sociala medier underlättat kommunikationen för institutet då de lättare kan nå en större målgrupp och föra en dialog med dessa. Det framkom också att institutet diskuterar och kommenterar förfrågningar som görs via de sociala medierna och tar tillvara på den information som förvärvas genom de sociala medierna. Undersökningen visade också att det finns en stor potential med att använda sociala medier och respondenterna tror att inom en snar framtid kommer de också att spela en allt viktigare roll i NAI:s kommunikationsarbete.

Visual social media platforms, such as Instagram, have impacted the way public figures communicate with their audiences and manage their reputation, allowing for a two-way flow of information that provides nearly simultaneous feedback from the public. In this context, our study aims to investigate the effectiveness of crisis communication strategies employed by celebrities on Instagram and how they shape public perception. Utilizing Benoit's Image Repair Theory, the research employs netnography and qualitative content analysis to examine 15 crisis statements issued by A-and B-list celebrities between 2020 and 2023, each paired with the top 30 user comments (N = 450) under their posts. The results indicate that famous figures most commonly use mortification, or expressing remorse, and this strategy receives the most positive audience feedback on the platform. Conversely, audiences react negatively to denial, demonstrating the risks when celebrities evade responsibility in such situations. Finally, the study shows the importance of celebrities' sincerity, transparency, and pre-crisis reputation in influencing public sentiment on social media during a crisis.

Cette étude vise à établir un état des lieux de la question de l’intermédialité, en tant que champ de recherche émergeant sur l’art contemporain et actuel à l’aune des nouvelles technologies et l’apanage de la postmodernité. Elle a pour objectif de soutenir l’intérêt porté au concept d’intermédialité en tant que nouvelle méthodologie de recherche interdisciplinaire sur l’art. Ce concept s’intéresse aux multiples échanges/dialogues qui, dans le cas d’une même œuvre, puissent renvoyer d’un art ou d’un média/médium à l’autre.
Elle propose, dans un premier temps, d’établir une archéologie du concept dans la visée de mettre en exergue son affiliation peu ou prou directe à l’histoire de l’art, ainsi que son évolution dans le système des pensées occidental.
Prenant appui sur différentes bases théoriques, elle projette, dans un deuxième temps, de discerner les caractéristiques définitoires – non moins équivoques – de l’intermédialité et de déterminer, dans la double acception du terme « média », les spécificités typologiques de l’œuvre intermédiale. Après quoi, elle essaie de dégager, sous un jour nouveau, les différents enjeux que celle-ci soulève ; et ce, à plusieurs niveaux : suppôts d’action, configurations structurelles et fonctionnelles, mécanismes de lecture, modalités de réception, perspectives heuristiques, etc.
En conclusion, elle tente de préciser les principales interrogations susceptibles, selon nous, de synthétiser, méthodologiquement parlant, ce que nous appellerions ici l’« impensé » de l’intermédialité.

Este artículo estudia cómo el grafiti converge con las prácticas culturales de la sociedad de la información. Las firmas ilegibles, complejas, tipografías diseñadas, conocidas por los artistas del grafiti como tags, son códigos visuales globales. Los artistas del grafiti han incorporado modos de producción y operaciones propias del imaginario de Internet. Además, están creando objetos culturales que responden a los principios de los objetos de los nuevos medios según los discute Lev Manovich. Trabajando las nociones de lo agónico y desarrollando el concepto digitalia, el ensayo analiza cómo se representan las prácticas en y fuera de la red. Los estarcidos, murales y la mayoría de las formas artísticas del grafiti presentan una posibilidad para entender la estética de la cultura de la información meticulosamente desarrollada por Manovich. El grafiti coincide y está dentro de los nuevos medios digitales de forma inconsciente y agónica. El grafiti organiza el espacio y convierte la información y estructura de la pared en una experiencia para el transeúnte-internauta.

Since the emergence of the World Wide Web the media ecology has gone through deep transformations. While the broadcasting paradigm was displaced from its hegemonic position by the networking paradigm, the "old media species" are constrained to compete with the "new" ones and must adapt to the new conditions of the media ecology. Never in the long history of Homo sapiens has our social-technological network gone through such an accelerated and unpredictable shift. In this context the chapter reflects on the possibilities of a new discipline -media evolution -in grade of dealing with past, contemporary, and future transformations of the media ecology. After introducing how the Darwinian model was applied in the analysis of technology evolution, the chapter presents a general overview of approaches that should be part of any theoretical conversation about media evolution: Levinson's anthropotropic theory of media mutations, Logan's reflections of media evolution from the perspective of language, complexity, and emergent phenomena, and Manovich's contributions around the computer metamedium and its hybridizations. The chapter concludes with a map of interlocutors for the construction of a media evolution theory and presents a first list of possible methodologies to apply in this emergent field.

From the 20th century to the present, rapid advancements in science and technology have forced significant changes in established socio-cultural, economic, and political structures, institutions, and relationship patterns, prompting radical decisions to adapt to the new process. Within the democratic and pluralistic ecosystem created by new communication technologies, traditional viewing environments such as cinema and television have begun to differentiate themselves through digital systems. Among the media tools that have come to the forefront in this process are digital platforms. Globally operating digital platforms such as Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Disney Plus shape viewers around specific productions and genres through their algorithm-based recommendation systems, while often neglecting quality cinema and aesthetic selectivity. In this regard, the locally developed digital platform MUBI creates an alternative viewing culture, particularly through its curatorial structure, artistic film selection, and viewer relations, in opposition to the policies of its global competitors that limit and shape viewer taste. The main objective of this qualitative study is to analyze user comments on films watched on the MUBI platform to reveal the intellectual approaches and cultural imprints of viewers' aesthetic stances. In this regard, MUBI user reviews of Nuri Bilge Ceylan's award-winning film Winter Sleep (2014) were included in the research sample and examined in detail and comprehensively using content analysis methods. Based on the findings, user reviews indicated that the film's storytelling is constructed with the depth of literary texts and philosophical perspectives, that psychological and sociological analyses attempt to reveal the inner world of the characters, and that the director adds his own unique touches to the film with his cinematographic narrative style.

Turkish television drama, widely known as the dizi, has emerged as one of the most significant transnational screen phenomena of the twenty-first century. As Turkish television has expanded beyond its national broadcast context into a globally circulating cultural industry, scholarship on the field has also grown rapidly. Foundational contributions by scholars such as Arzu Öztürkmen, Yeşim Kaptan, Ece Algan, and Ece Vitrinel have helped establish the key coordinates of Turkish television studies. Works such as Öztürkmen's The Delight of Turkish Dizi: Memory, Genre and Politics of Television in Turkey and Kaptan and Algan's Television in Turkey: Local Production, Transnational Expansion and Political Aspirations, together with subsequent special issues and articles on transnational production, audience reception, fan cultures, and platform-era transformations, have made it possible to think of Turkish television as a distinct and increasingly consolidated field of inquiry.

more
This essay develops a structural account of how consequence has been transformed across contemporary systems of representation, circulation, and institutional procedure. It argues that consequence—understood as the production of binding effects that limit what can follow—has not disappeared but has been systematically converted into non-terminal forms. Across domains including art, media, and institutional governance, actions no longer produce decisive outcomes. Instead, they generate further circulation, documentation, and procedural continuation.
The analysis identifies three interlocking transformations. First, representation increasingly operates as a highlight mechanism, selecting and compressing events into legible forms that privilege visibility over resolution. Second, circulation reorganizes these representations within continuous streams, where appearance replaces evaluation and persistence replaces conclusion. Third, institutional procedure absorbs both representation and circulation into administrative systems that route decisions without producing accountable endpoints.
Together, these transformations produce a system that operates without effective negative feedback. Exposure does not terminate behavior; critique does not enforce consequence; decision-making is displaced into processes that perpetuate themselves. The result is a structural condition in which activity persists while resolution disappears. The essay concludes by proposing that contemporary culture must be understood not as a failure of judgment, but as a reconfiguration of the mechanisms through which consequence is produced and withheld.

In the American political process, news discourse concerning public policy issues is carefully constructed. This occurs in part because both politicians and interest groups take an increasingly proactive approach to amplify their views of what an issue is about. However, news media also play an active role in framing public policy issues. Thus, in this article, news discourse is conceived as a sociocognitive process involving all three players: sources, journalists, and audience members operating in the universe of shared culture and on the basis of socially defined roles. Framing analysis is presented as a constructivist approach to examine news discourse with the primary focus on conceptualizing news texts into empirically operationalizable dimensions-syntactical, script, thematic, and rhetorical structures-so that evidence of the news media's framing of issues in news texts may be gathered. This is considered an initial step toward analyzing the news discourse process as a whole. Finally, an extended empirical example is provided to illustrate the applications of this conceptual framework of news texts. Keywords News, issue discourse, discourse analysis, framing analysts Much of the recent research in political communication deals with one or more of the following three questions. First, how do the news media "set the frame in which citizens discuss public events" (Tuchman, 1978, p. ix) and consequently "narrow the available political alternatives" (p. 156)? Second, how do politicians and advocacy groups actively "court" the media to polish their images and frame debates over public policies (see )? Third, how do audiences process news information actively and construct meanings using their preexisting cognitive representations (e.g., ? One nagging problem for research in these areas has been how to convincingly link news texts to both production and consumption processes . This article presents a framing analysis approach to this problem. The basic idea is to view news texts as a system of organized signifying elements that both

The concept of marine protected areas is currently under scrutiny by members of the U.S. Congress, coastal natural resource management agencies, special interest stakeholder groups, and the public. As a surrogate for public opinion polls, a media content analysis was performed for news stories related to marine protected areas. The analysis examined more than 25,000 on-line newspaper, news wire, and radio and television broadcast news stories from 1995 to 2001 for expressions of four broad categories of uses and values associated with marine protected areas, expressions of favorable and unfavorable attitudes associated with marine protected areas, and the stakeholder groups involved in the discussion. Ecological uses and values were expressed more often than social, recreational, and commercial uses and values. Favorable attitudes were expressed more frequently than unfavorable attitudes. Over the period of analysis, 1995 to 2001, a gradual upward trend was found in frequencies of expressions of ecological, social, recreational, and commercial uses and values. A gradual upward trend was found for relative frequency of favorable attitudes and a gradual downward trend for unfavorable attitudes. For the five broad stakeholder groups, marine protected areas were mentioned most frequently in connection to government, followed by nongovernmental groups, the public, industry, and academia. This paper describes the study methods and findings of the analysis, and offers management implications and considerations for future research.

This article argues that the analytic of pharmacotic war can render visible a logic of ritual sacrifice in the US military's use of games to attract, produce, and recycle war-fighters. Identifying the ancient framing of the pharmakon-a substance or process that functions as at once drug, poison, and cure-it shows how games function paradoxically to draw in, produce, and rehabilitate military life. The article makes this case by tracing the roots of Kenneth MacLeish's 'churn of mobilization and demobilization' beyond the military's instrumental calculations of institutional self-perpetuation, showing that this churn functions according to a logic of pharmacotic sacrifice that is not incidental to, but rather built into, their routine operation. It argues that (ex-)war-fighters function as a contemporary equivalent of the ancient pharmakoi, scapegoated and sacrificed figures into whom a polis poured its guilt and dysfunction in an act of ritual purification. Though rejecting any linear genealogy or transhistorical Western way of war, it identifies powerful resonances between the ancient pharmakoi and (ex-)war-fighters today. Drawing on extensive interviews with US military gamers and veterans, the article sheds light on the growing influence of games on the attraction, production, and recycling of (ex-)war-fighters in the 21st century. At the same time, by tracing the purificatory expulsion of war-fighters, it contributes a novel theorization of the pharmacotic logic of the US military's war-making apparatus.

Based on the world-theoretical model of the
paraverse, the issue explores which parallel worlds
of curating, exhibiting and collecting art have
emerged in digital spaces, and how these can be
situated in relation to the familiar physical-
analogue world of exhibiting and collecting art
— whether as an extension of existing institutional
practices or a parallel-world phenomenon of a
subversive, institution-critical digital culture.
How does the practice of curating art — pre-digital,
algorithmically generated and minted art — change
through its migration into virtual spaces, cross-
realities and automated scenographies, and what
is the impact of generative AI imaging on it?
What new display, participation and mediation
possibilities do digital and net-based exhibition
formats offer? How are public and private collection
strategies and practices changing through the
introduction of NFTs and blockchain technology?
The Paraverse issue brings together diverse
theoretical, practical and empirical perspectives
from researchers, curators, and artists. Under
discussion are the digital image politics of curating,
showing and mediating art and cultural heritage,
the blockchain-induced decentralization and
commoning of exhibition-making, collecting, and
art sales. In addition, the issue addresses the
