Blogs, You Tube, citizen journalism, social networking sites and museum interactivity are but a few of the new media options available for ordinary people to express themselves in public. This intensely technological presentation of everyday lives in our public culture is today hailed as a new, playful form of citizenship that enhances democratic participation and cosmopolitan solidarity. But is this celebration of self- mediation justified or premature? Drawing on a view of self-mediation as a pluralistic practice that potentially enhances our democratic public culture but which is, at the same time, closely linked to the monopolistic interests of the market, this volume critically explores the dynamics of mediated self-representation as an essentially ambivalent cultural phenomenon. It is, the volume argues, the hybrid potential for increased democratization but also for subtler social control, inherent in the public visibility of the ordinary, which ultimately defines contemporary citizenship. The volume is organized along two-dimensions, which conceptualize the dialectical relationship between new media and the participatory practices these enable in terms of, what Foucault calls, a dual economy of freedom and constraint (Foucault 1982). The first dimension of the dialectic, the ‘democratization of technology’ , addresses self-mediation from the perspective of the empowering potential of new technologies to invent novel discourses of counter-institutional resistance and activism (individual or collective); the second dimension, the ‘technologization of democracy’, addresses self-mediation from the perspective of the regulative potential of new technologies to control the discourses and genres of ordinary participation and, in so doing, to reproduce the institutional power relations that such participation seeks to challenge. This book was originally published as a special issue of Critical Discourse Studies.

Nomad Codes written by Erik Davis and has been published by Verse Chorus Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2011-01-31 with Social Science categories.
In these wide-ranging essays, Erik Davis explores the codes—spiritual, cultural, and embodied—that people use to escape the limitation of their lives and enrich their experience of the world. These include Asian religious traditions and West African trickster gods, Western occult and esoteric lore, postmodern theory and psychedelic science, as well as festival scenes such as Burning Man (of which Davis is the best-known chronicler). Articles on media technology further explore themes Davis took up in his acclaimed book Techgnosis, while his profiles of West Coast poets, musicians, and mystics extend the California terrain he previously mapped in The Visionary State. Whether his subject is collage art or the “magickal realism” of horror writer H.P. Lovecraft, transvestite Burmese spirit mediums or Ufology, tripster king Terence McKenna or dub maestro Lee Perry, Davis writes with keen yet skeptical sympathy, intellectual subtlety and wit, and unbridled curiosity. The common thread running through all these pieces is what Davis calls “modern esoterica,” which he describes in his preface as a ‘no-man’s-land located somewhere between anthropology and mystical pulp, between the zendo and the metal club, between cultural criticism and extraordinary experience, whether psychedelic, or yogic, or technological.” Such an ambiguous and startling landscape demands that the intrepid adventurer shed any territorial claims and go nomad. Davis wanders with sharp eyes and an open mind, which is why Peter Lamborn Wilson calls him “the best of all guides to modern American spirituality.”

Sir Ronald Harwood (1934-2020) was one of the most prolific playwrights and screenwriters of his generation. His acclaimed play, The Dresser, has been constantly revived since its premiere in 1980 and has been adapted for both cinema and television, most recently the 2015 BBC production starring Sir Anthony Hopkins and Sir Ian McKellen. Harwood's other notable film adaptations included Roman Polanski's haunting depiction of life in the Warsaw Ghetto, The Pianist (2002), Baz Luhrmann's frontier epic, Australia (2008), and Dustin Hoffman's poignant celebration of old age, Quartet (2012). His many awards included an Oscar for The Pianist and a BAFTA for The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (2007). Speak Well of Me turns the focus onto Harwood himself. Based on extensive interviews with the playwright during his final years, the biography recounts Harwood's gradual transformation from lacklustre South African schoolboy to doyen of theatreland and Hollywood. While dissecting each of his major works, the book candidly explores Harwood's friendships with the likes of Harold Pinter, J. B. Priestley, André Previn, Sir Donald Wolfit (who inspired The Dresser) and, most controversially, Roman Polanski. The result is a biography as gripping and morally complex as one of Harwood's own dramas. This new paperback edition includes memoirs and assessments of Harwood by Gyles Brandreth, Sir Tom Courtenay, Lady Antonia Fraser, Frederic Raphael, Sir Antony Sher and the playwright's oldest friend, Gerald Masters.

書籍、音樂、電影，文化資訊的積累與傳承， 聯繫起「小島秀夫」與世界 更構築了「小島秀夫的世界」 在聲光效果刺激的遊戲界中，小島秀夫是非常特別的存在。 他的開創能力強大，經典代表作《潛龍諜影》系列最初受硬體限制，畫面中無法有太多的人物和物件，他卻反過來利用這點，將遊戲設定為一名特種兵隻身潛行躲避敵軍完成任務，進而開創出匿蹤類遊戲。 他的影像美學特殊，擅長用電影式的運鏡來強化遊戲表現，以及如《死亡擱淺》一般，賦予遊戲令人印象深刻的開場與劇情推進。 小島秀夫也善於營造遊戲體驗最重要的沉浸感，藉此掌握與引導玩家的感受，進而在準確的時間點激發出他想傳達的情緒。 這一切能力，都是他熱愛的文學、電影、音樂密不可分。他把從中獲得的文化記憶（MEME）轉化成養分，從而學會如何將劇情編排完整、訂立特殊的故事結構，以及懂得用鋪陳層層堆疊出細膩的遊戲體驗。 在本書中小島秀夫回歸原點，整理出過去對他影響深刻的許多作品。《潛龍諜影》的自由與服從、《死亡擱淺》的連結與孤獨——從遊戲作品的主旨發想，到小島秀夫人生的處事思維，都與MEME緊緊相連。 【小島秀夫的作品面貌】 §《珍妮》 《珍妮》不但影響了我的女性觀， 其實也影響了我的創作活動。《潛龍諜影3》中，名為THE BOSS 的角色，將主角裸蛇（野狗）培育成戰士，隨後因「未來的生涯選擇當狗還是貓」，他們相互對峙，其實這份靈感來源應該是下意識取自《珍妮》。《MGS》系列，是一直豢養在組織中的一群公狗（軍犬）進行「弒親」的「父性」故事。THE BOSS（母貓）則是為了帶入「母性」與「野貓」視角而創造出來的角色。 § 《孤獨》 因為孤獨，所以我們追求某些事物，也有些事物是衍生自孤獨。當孤獨的人集合起來，孤獨一詞就會消失。 【小島秀夫持續創作遊戲的理由】 § 《黑暗，帶我走》 過去，我每次都對著媒體宣示「這是我創作的最後一款《潛龍諜影》」。這句話跟一開始勒翰的發言幾乎同義。故事有結束的時候，作家亦然。作家會希望自己迎向終結前，先為故事劃下句點。那又為何繼續創作同一系列呢？答案就在「派崔克╱安琪系列」裡。只要支持者熱烈企盼，故事就不能結束。 § 《眾神的山嶺》 我的「它」就是遊戲創作。就像迷上山嶺無可自拔的他們一樣，一直以來， 都是「它」，那個讓我偏離原本路線的契機，拯救了我。話雖如此，時代已然不同，我一路攀登的「遊戲創作」發生了地殼變動，不斷改變樣貌。即使如此，我依舊會繼續攀爬吧，但並不是「因為它就在那裡」， 說得更貼切，今後應該是「因為它不在那裡」，所以我會繼續攀爬。 【小島秀夫的人生思考】 § 《不存在的城市》 所謂的城市，是MEME 的堆疊，不過，我的工作室將會存在於東京與洛杉磯之間的第三個「世界」，成為真正全球化的工作室。從那裡，我想要凸顯的，不是既往美國那種把當地打上一層馬賽克的MEME，而是真心以全世界為對象，能夠跨界至全球的MEME。 § 《宿星之聲》 那個夏日，我以為在家父欽吾的骸骨消逝時，我也就失去了父親。但我錯了，父親至今依舊存在我身上。寄宿在我體內的聲音，正是當時家父欽吾試圖告訴我的事。如今過了三十五年，我在《宿星之聲》中，聽見一直以來應該都住在我體內的家父「聲音」：「好好照顧大家。」 【小島秀夫的MEME哲學】 § 《火車》 這部作品就是跟隨一位平凡女性，為追求幸福，在煎熬折磨中犯下罪行一路留下的「痕跡（MEME）」。同時，本書也是個勇敢的故事，這位女性在此過程中面對過去自己拋下的「社會（MEME）」。所謂MEME 就是流傳下來的東西，不過，就像GENE（基因）是DNA的交集結果，MEME 也是藉由褪去古老外皮來創造新未來。 § 《潛龍諜影：愛國者之槍》 伊藤計劃透過Otacon（宅代）的發言，對讀者熱切傾訴。即使離開這個世界，伊藤的MEME 將清晰刻畫在讀者心中。就連傳承他人的MEME 這件事本身，也無疑是一種「生存」。 本書不僅僅是傳奇製作人小島秀夫回顧生涯的結晶，也是小島秀夫對於構築了自己的書本電影的情書。 本書特色 ● 小島秀夫：「我做出的遊戲能被世人評價為有創意、有獨特觀點，都是因為我從逛書店挑書看的行為裡學會了判斷的眼光。用自己的眼光和感性去判斷『合我胃口』，正是這種訓練，讓專屬於我自己的價值觀成形，讓我自己原創的作品開花結果。」 ● 金氏世界紀錄認證全世界最多人追蹤的遊戲製作人，一舉一動都引起全球注目。橫掃遊戲界的理由，本書可看出端倪。 ● 在台第一本個人專書，探知傳奇製作人思維的必需之作。 ● 為什麼玩電腦遊戲？為什麼做電腦遊戲？為什麼要創作？為什麼繼續從事手上的事業？要如何培養眼光？要如何與世界應對？不論是遊戲製作圈內人，或是一般遊戲玩家，都可從本書作者詳細闡述的思考與引介的作品，承接下他想傳遞延續的生存與創作的動力。 ● 特別收錄與星野源的對談

Drawing on a number of academic disciplines, and music from, among other places, West Africa, Indonesia, Slovenia, Colombia, Israel, and Cuba, the contributors challenge both traditional and progressive assumptions about music.
