Family, Bullying and Cyberbullying
Despite the significant decrease in bullying that has been reported in many countries during the last two decades, bullying continues to be a significant problem among young people. Given the increase of internet use among youth, researchers have started to pay attention to cyberspace, understanding that it may be a fertile ground for bullying behaviors, specifically, what is known as cyberbullying. “Family, Bullying and Cyberbullying” examines the association of several family variables with bullying in offline and online environments during childhood and adolescence. Contributors from the Americas, Canada, Asia, and Europe offer cutting-edge research on family dynamics, bystander behav...
From Pessimism to Promise
A radical paradigm shift in the way we think about AI and tech, taking hope and inspiration from the aspirational users of new technologies around the world. When it comes to tech, the mainstream headlines are bleak: Algorithms control and oppress. AI will destroy democracy and our social fabric, and possibly even drive us to extinction. While legitimate concerns drive these fears, we need to equally account for the fact that tech affords young people something incredibly valuable—a rare space for self-actualization. In From Pessimism to Promise, award-winning author Payal Arora explains that, outside the West, where most of the world’s youth reside, there is a significant different outl...
The Migration Conference 2021 Selected Papers
This is a collection of self-selected papers presented at The Migration Conference 2021 London. COVID-19 pandemic and ongoing restrictions and difficulties in international travel forced us to run the TMC online for a second time. It is a new and improving experience for most of us and there is strong hints that the conference will continue in hybrid form in the near future. As usual we have invited participants to submit 2000 words papers for the proceedings book and this volume brings you these papers. Topics covered in the volume includes gender, education, mass movements, refugees, religion, identity, migration policy, culture, diplomacy, remittances, climate, water, environment and pretty much everything about migration. Most of the papers are in English, but there are some in French, Spanish and Turkish too. This is a great book for those who want short accounts on all aspects of migration and refugees.
Inclusión y activismo digital: participación ciudadana y empoderamiento desde la diversidad.
Los medios de comunicación ocupan un papel preponderante en la sociedad actual, adquiriendo cada vez más poder, a la par que los gobiernos y aquellos que tienen acceso al podio discursivo social (Aguaded y Romero-Rodríguez, 2016). Su capacidad de influencia en la opinión pública, gracias al uso de las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación, su presencia ubicua y su maximización de alcance por parte de los prosumidores (Civila et ál., 2020), es aprovechada por diferentes agentes, para sus propios fines, como en el caso de los partidos políticos para modificar la intención de voto, las empresas para incidir en el consumo de sus productos, a través de la publici-dad y el marketing, o los influencers a través de las redes sociales, entre otros.
Environments of Inequality: Crises, Conflicts, Comparisons
Multiple environmental crises and persistent patterns of intersecting inequalities are major global concerns. This edited volume contributes to a better understanding of environments of inequality by examining their various formations and expressions, from the colonial period to the present, with a strong (but not exclusive) focus on the Americas. The nine case studies especially reflect on the interrelationship between social inequality and the natural environment. The authors address crises, conflicts, and comparisons of inequalities from various disciplinary and regional perspectives. The volume has three thematic sections: first, conflicts and contests over resources and territory; second, crises of environmental politics; and third, constructions of inequality: discourses of disruption. Drawing on ongoing innovative research projects, the chapters in this volume discuss highly relevant issues and show that intersectionality is key to understanding environmental inequalities.

Instagramming
En la última década, Instagram ha pasado de ser un mero repositorio de imágenes a una red social de amplio reconocimiento, hasta convertirse en parte importante de las nuevas culturas digitales internacionales. Las características propias de esta plataforma, sus configuraciones, prestaciones y funcionalidades, han dado lugar a fenómenos mediáticos y digitales de gran interés. En este sentido, Instagram ha replanteado fenómenos digitales como la (auto)representación, la influencia digital y el activismo en red, por medio de una constante adecuación a las nuevas generaciones y necesidades de los usuarios. Una de las claves de su éxito radica en la amplia disponibilidad de elementos ...
Musicking TikTok
This ethnographic work about TikTok's musicking in a glocal (Austrian) context complements and build upon ethnomusicological assumptions, theories, and methods for the study of musical practices in digital spaces. An overview of elements that make up TikTok's interface as well as the technical-performative possibilities that it allows, this book introduces a general categorization of existing performance types and how TikTokers appropriate the platform to make their music. It illustrates how some TikTokers became aware of and began using TikTok, and it reviews some of the different strategies TikTokers apply to learn how to use the application and successfully develop their performances.
