New Perspectives in Critical Data Studies
This Open Access book examines the ambivalences of data power. Firstly, the ambivalences between global infrastructures and local invisibilities challenge the grand narrative of the ephemeral nature of a global data infrastructure. They make visible local working and living conditions, and the resources and arrangements required to operate and run them. Secondly, the book examines ambivalences between the state and data justice. It considers data justice in relation to state surveillance and data capitalism, and reflects on the ambivalences between an "entrepreneurial state" and a "welfare state." Thirdly, the authors discuss ambivalences of everyday practices and collective action, in which...

Deep Mediatization
Andreas Hepp takes an integrative look at one of the biggest questions in media and communications research: how digital media is changing society. Often, such questions are discussed in isolation, losing sight of the overarching context in which they are situated. Hepp has developed a theory of the re-figuration of society by digital media and their infrastructures, and provides an understanding of how profound today’s media-related changes are, not only for institutions, organizations and communities, but for the individual as well. Rooted in the latest research, this book does not stop at a description of media-related change; instead, it raises the normative challenge of what deep mediatization should look like so that it might just stimulate a 'good life' for all. Providing original and critical research, the book introduces deep mediatization to students of media and cultural studies, as well as neighboring disciplines like sociology, political science and other cognate disciplines.
Die mediale Konstruktion der Wirklichkeit
In einer Welt der digitalen Medien und datenbasierten Online-Plattformen muss die Sozialtheorie völlig neu überdacht werden. Fünfzig Jahre nachdem Peter L. Berger und Thomas Luckmann ihren Klassiker „Die Gesellschaftliche Konstruktion der Wirklichkeit“ veröffentlicht haben, gehen zwei führende Medien- und Kommunikationsforscher, Nick Couldry und Andreas Hepp, erneut der Frage nach, wie die soziale Welt von Menschen „geschaffen“ wird. Im Zentrum steht allerdings eine Alltagswelt, die von digitalen Medien und Infrastrukturen durchdrungen ist. Wie verändert sich die soziale Welt, in der wir leben, wenn sie dermaßen auf digitalen Medien und Datenprozessierung fußt? Wie können wir die Konsequenzen dieser tiefgreifenden Mediatisierung für die Gesellschaft, aber auch die Qualität des individuellen Lebens fassen? Ausgehend von der Diskussion einer Vielzahl von Theorien und einer breiten Auswahl an empirischen Studien bietet dieses Buch eine differenzierte Darstellung, wie die „digitale Welt“ historisch entstanden ist und wohin die tiefgreifende Mediatisierung uns führt.

Online Distance Education
Online Distance Education: Towards a Research Agenda offers a systematic overview of the major issues, trends, and areas of priority in online distance education research. In each chapter, an international expert or team of experts provides an overview of one timely issue in online distance education, summarizing major research on the topic, discussing theoretical insights that guide the research, posing questions and directions for future research, and discussing the implications for distance education practice as a whole. Intended as a primary reference and guide for distance educators, researchers, and policymakers, Online Distance Education addresses aspects of distance education practice that have often been marginalized, including issues of cost and economics, concerns surrounding social justice, cultural bias, the need for faculty professional development, and the management and growth of learner communities. At once soundly empirical and thoughtfully reflective, yet also forward-looking and open to new approaches to online and distance teaching, this text is a solid resource for researchers in a rapidly expanding discipline.
Auf dem Weg zur digitalen Gesellschaft
Wir sind auf dem Weg zur digitalen Gesellschaft, aber wir sind noch lange nicht angekommen. Andreas Hepp beleuchtet in seinem Buch die tiefgreifende Mediatisierung der Gesellschaft. Er fokussiert den Umgang mit digitalen Medien, ihre Infrastrukturen und die automatisierte Verarbeitung der Daten, die wir alle online hinterlassen. Hepp diskutiert die Rolle der Industrie, des Staates und der Pioniergemeinschaften dabei und fragt danach, warum digitale Medien als Plattformen und kommunikative Roboter immer "prozesshafter" werden. Was bedeuten diese Veränderung für Organisationen, Gemeinschaften und Individuen? Und wie sollten wir einen solchen Wandel gestalten, um zu der digitalen Gesellschaft zu gelangen, die wir uns auch wünschen?
