Discourses of Anxiety over Childhood and Youth across Cultures
This book revolves around neoliberal notions governing children and youth – a trend that permeates and dominates contemporary perceptions of "the young." In fact, given how the disciplinary power of neoliberalism swiftly becomes a common conceptual currency across national and cultural borders, discussing the way in which neoliberal self-governance permeates the cultures of childhood and youth is even more pertinent. This is followed by research on media discourses of children and their cultural practices in Norway, Germany, Austria and Switzerland, Serbia, Greece, and the US.
The Ages of Life
The binary construction of »young« and »old«, which is based on a biogerontological model of aging as decline, can be redefined as the ambiguity of aging from a cultural studies perspective. This concept enables an analysis of the social functions of images of aging with the aim of providing a basis for interdisciplinary exchange on gerontological research. The articles in this publication conceive the relationship between living and aging as a productive antagonism which focuses on the interplay between continuity and change as a marker of life course identity: aging and growing older are processes which cannot be reduced to the chronology of years but which are shaped by the individual's interaction with the changing circumstances of life.
(e)Pedagogy - Visual Knowledge Building
The accelerating «iconic turn» in our society today increasingly demands the interactive representation of contextual knowledge. At the same time the use of Web based learning environments highlight the audio-visual dimension of (e)pedagogy and the move towards practical, project-oriented curricula. Regardless of the educational field pedagogical expertise thus requires more and more understanding and control of visual elements and their interpretations. There is a growing need for visually oriented pedagogical experts such as teachers, tutors, designers and developers who are capable of community knowledge building and collaboration with other experts from different fields from both private and public sectors. The book intends to illuminate scientific and programmatic excerpts from an international community of researchers, practitioners, teachers and scholars working in interrelated fields such as Aesthetic Education, ePedagogy Design - Visual Knowledge Building, Visual Education, Art Education, Media Pedagogy and Intermedia Art Education.
Alive and Kicking at All Ages
The linking of age and ill-health is part of a cultural narrative of decline as age is often defined as the absence of good health. Research has shown that we are aged by culture, but we are also culturally made ill when we age. The cultural ambiguity of aging can thus deconstruct negative images of old age as physical decrepitude. This volume investigates the topic of health within the matrix of time and experience by addressing issues such as how our understanding of health influences our notion of agency within a subversive deconstruction of normative age concepts, and what role the notion of health plays in such an interaction.
Media Ethics
Concerns about the role and responsibilities of the media have become an increasingly important part of public debate. Media Ethics brings together philosophers, academics and media professionals to debate both ethics and morality.
Die Mediatisierung der Alltagswelt
Der Kern des historischen wie gegenwärtigen Medien- und Kommunikationswandels ist weniger darin zu sehen, dass einzelne Medieninhalte eine ,Wirkung‘ auf Kultur und Gesellschaft haben. Vielmehr ist er darin zu sehen, dass unsere heutige Alltagswelt selbst zunehmend von Medien durchdrungen wird: Wir leben in einer mediatisierten Alltagswelt. Doch was heißt dies konkret? Und wie verändert sich unser Alltag mit seiner fortschreitenden Mediatisierung? Auf diese Fragen geben Beiträge von renommierten Autorinnen und Autoren ausgehend von Friedrich Krotz’ Konzept der Mediatisierung eine Antwort.

Die De- und Rekonstruktion der Heteronormativit„t im Social Web: Herausforderungen fr eine geschlechtssensible Medienp„dagogik
Das Ordnungsprinzip in postmodernen Gesellschaften wie der Bundesrepublik Deutschland ist gepr„gt von bin„ren Kodierungen in Bezug auf Geschlechtsidentit„t und Sexualit„t. Das sozial konstruierte System der Heteronormativit„t ist institutionell und kulturell verankert und wird stets reproduziert, indem die Mitglieder der Gesellschaft von Geburt an anhand vermeintlich bipolarer k”rperlicher Merkmale in die zwei sich gegenseitig begehrenden, vermeintlich anatomisch hergeleiteten Geschlechtsklassen ?Frau? und ?Mann? eingeteilt werden. Die bin„ren Zuordnungen sind wie selbstverst„ndlich zum Bestandteil der Geschlechteridentit„t geworden. Als Ideal sozialer Bindungen gilt das mo...
Media Literacy and the Effect of Socialization
This book explores the socially and individually determined nature of media literacy, addressing the central question of how individuals’ media activity can be explained and evaluated. It examines people's media activity through the relationship between their competence to act and actual actions. Further, the book discusses the social factors that foster self-determined media activity, including people's abilities and skills and the associated knowledge that facilitates such skills, from the perspectives of various social science disciplines. Lastly, it applies these theoretical reflections to two empirical studies. Overall, this book provides a fundamental introduction to theories of media socialization, media literacy and media competence, and to the relation between media and socialization. It analyses international discourses on children, media, media literacy, and digital literacy. This book is of interest to scholars and researchers in the field of media studies, including media sociology and media education, communication, and cultural studies.
