Описание: The Bristol-based animation company Aardman is best known for its most famous creations Wallace and Gromit and Shaun the Sheep. But despite the quintessentially British aesthetic and tone of its movies, this very British studio continues to enjoy international box office success with movies such as Shaun the Sheep Movie, Flushed Away and Wallace and Gromit: Curse of the Were-Rabbit. Aardman has always been closely linked with one of its key animators, Nick Park, and its stop motion, Plasticine-modelled family films, but it has more recently begun to experiment with modern digital filmmaking effects that either emulate ‘Claymation’ methods or form a hybrid animation style.
This unique volume brings together leading film and animation scholars with children’s media/animation professionals to explore the production practices behind Aardman's creativity, its history from its early shorts to contemporary hits, how its films fit within traditions of British animation, social realism and fantasy cinema, the key personalities who have formed its ethos, its representations of ‘British-ness’ on screen and the implications of traditional animation methods in a digital era.
Описание: Scarce attention has been paid to the dimension of sound and its essential role in constructing image, culture, and identity in Chinese film and media. China in the Mix fills a critical void with the first book on the sound, languages, scenery, media, and culture in post-Socialist China. In this study, Ying Xiao explores fascinating topics, including appropriations of popular folklore in the Chinese new wave of the 1980s; Chinese rock 'n' roll and youth cinema in fin de siècle China; the political-economic impact of free market imperatives and Hollywood pictures on Chinese film industry and filmmaking in the late twentieth century; the reception and adaptation of hip hop; and the emerging role of Internet popular culture and social media in the early twenty-first century. Xiao examines the articulations and representations of mass culture and everyday life, concentrating on their aural/oral manifestations in contemporary Chinese cinema and in a wide spectrum of media and cultural productions.China in the Mix offers the first comprehensive investigation of Chinese film, expressions, and culture from a unique, cohesive acoustic angle and through the prism of global media-cultural exchange. It shows how the complex, evolving uses of sound (popular music, voice-over, silence, noise, and audio mixing) in film and media reflect and engage the important cultural and socio-historical shifts in contemporary China and in the increasingly networked world. Xiao offers an innovative new conception of Chinese film and media and their audiovisual registers in the historiographical frame of China amid the global landscape.

Описание:
“This is the most culturally sophisticated history of the Internet yet written. We can’t make sense of what the Internet means in our lives without reading Schulte’s elegant account of what the Internet has meant at various points in the past 30 years.” —Siva Vaidhyanathan, Chair of the Department of Media Studies at The University of Virginia In the 1980s and 1990s, the internet became a major player in the global economy and a revolutionary component of everyday life for much of the United States and the world. It offered users new ways to relate to one another, to share their lives, and to spend their time—shopping, working, learning, and even taking political or social action. Policymakers and news media attempted—and often struggled—to make sense of the emergence and expansion of this new technology. They imagined the internet in conflicting terms: as a toy for teenagers, a national security threat, a new democratic frontier, an information superhighway, a virtual reality, and a framework for promoting globalization and revolution. Schulte maintains that contested concepts had material consequences and helped shape not just our sense of the internet, but the development of the technology itself. Cached focuses on how people imagine and relate to technology, delving into the political and cultural debates that produced the internet as a core technology able to revise economics, politics, and culture, as well as to alter lived experience. Schulte illustrates the conflicting and indirect ways in which culture and policy combined to produce this transformative technology.

Описание:
2012 Honorable Mention from the Association of Internet Researchers for their Annual Best Book Prize Outstanding Academic Title from 2011 by Choice Magazine This book about America's romance with computer communication looks at the internet, not as harbinger of the future or the next big thing, but as an expression of the times. Streeter demonstrates that our ideas about what connected computers are for have been in constant flux since their invention. In the 1950s they were imagined as the means for fighting nuclear wars, in the 1960s as systems for bringing mathematical certainty to the messy complexity of social life, in the 1970s as countercultural playgrounds, in the 1980s as an icon for what's good about free markets, in the 1990s as a new frontier to be conquered and, by the late 1990s, as the transcendence of markets in an anarchist open source utopia. The Net Effect teases out how culture has influenced the construction of the internet and how the structure of the internet has played a role in cultures of social and political thought. It argues that the internet's real and imagined anarchic qualities are not a product of the technology alone, but of the historical peculiarities of how it emerged and was embraced. Finding several different traditions at work in the development of the internet—most uniquely, romanticism—Streeter demonstrates how the creation of technology is shot through with profoundly cultural forces—with the deep weight of the remembered past, and the pressures of shared passions made articulate.

Описание: Overuse of the internet is often characterized as problematic, disruptive, or addictive, with stories frequently claiming that online use interferes with relationships, or that 'excessive' time in front of computer screens is unhealthy. The Multiplicities of Internet Addiction contests the claim that computers - specifically Internet use - are addictive, arguing that use of the Internet is now a form of everyday leisure engaged in by many people in Western society. Offering an analysis of the nature of addiction alongside a detailed empirical study of home computer use, this book will be of interest not only to sociologists of culture and popular culture, but also to scholars of media, ICT and education.

Описание: Die Kulturgeschichte der DDR stellt den Kulturgeschichten der Bundesrepublik ein Pendant fur die Deutsche Demokratische Republik zur Seite. Die Zeit des Bestehens der SBZ/DDR wird dabei chronologisch in drei Perioden unterteilt, die die Besonderheiten des jeweiligen historischen Zeitraums hervorheben. Band I thematisiert die Ubergangsgesellschaft und Mobilisierungsdiktatur (1945-1957), Band II die Bildungsgesellschaft und Erziehungsdiktatur (1958-1976) und Band III die Konsumgesellschaft und Fursorgediktatur (1977-1990). In jedem Band beleuchtet der Autor systematisch die spezifischen Entwicklungen der Alltags- und Popularkultur, der politischen Kultur sowie der hohen Kultur. Bzgl. der popularen Kultur stehen vor allem die kulturellen Formen von Alltag und Freizeit sowie Unterhaltung, Vergnugen und Sport im Vordergrund. Dabei werden sowohl staatliche und private, moderne und traditionelle Aspekte der Volkskultur thematisiert. Hinsichtlich der politischen Kultur analysiert der Autor die subjektiven Dimensionen der Politik, einschliesslich nationaler Symbole und Geschichtskultur, sowie die ideologischen Vorgaben der SED und die politischen Orientierungen und Mentalitaten der Ostdeutschen. Die hohe Kultur der DDR, Literatur und Kunste, Architektur und Design, wird vor allem in ihrem Spannungsfeld aus Klassikmythos, sozialistischem Realismus und Alternativkultur, aus Affirmation und Kritik dargestellt. Ein Grundwiderspruch, auch in der Kultur- und Intelligenzpolitik der SED, den der Autor in diesem Zusammenhang herausarbeitet, bestand zwischen der hohen Anerkennung und Forderung von Kultur auf der einen und der standigen Furcht vor einer Destabilisierung durch Kultur auf der anderen Seite. Auf diese Weise erortert Gerd Dietrich detailliert die kulturelle Substanz der ostdeutschen Gesellschaft und zeichnet ein Bild des widerstandigen Potentials ihrer Kultur, die sich zwischen Tradition, Innovation und Repression bewegte.
