Gaming the System
1. This extremely multidisciplinary book engages descriptive and prescriptive methods of study to video games, drawing heavily on philosophical traditions. It will have appeal outside of Film & Media and Philosophy to other areas of scholarly research including Sociology, Anthropology and Political Science. 2.The author is a senior scholar with extensive publications that explore the intersection of philosophy and ethics with digital games and reality. He has a strong presence on Facebook and Twitter as well as a well-designed personal website. He has historically be very engaged with his own digital and social media marketing for books he authors and plans to do the same for this title. 3. The author works to debunk and reframe what readers think they know about video games and digital culture, showing that it is wrong (or at least misguided) and that the important questions are often far more interesting and potentially disturbing than anticipated.
Of Remixology
A new theory of moral and aesthetic value for the age of remix, going beyond the usual debates over originality and appropriation. Remix—or the practice of recombining preexisting content—has proliferated across media both digital and analog. Fans celebrate it as a revolutionary new creative practice; critics characterize it as a lazy and cheap (and often illegal) recycling of other people's work. In Of Remixology, David Gunkel argues that to understand remix, we need to change the terms of the debate. The two sides of the remix controversy, Gunkel contends, share certain underlying values—originality, innovation, artistic integrity. And each side seeks to protect these values from the...
Pandemic Communication and Resilience
This book examines how we design and deliver health communication messages relating to outbreaks, epidemics, and pandemics. We have experienced major changes to how the public receives and searches for information about health crises over the last twelve decades with the ongoing shift from text/broadcast-based to digital messaging and social media. Both health theories and practices are examined as it applies to testing, tracking, hoarding, therapeutics, and vaccines with case studies. Challenges to communicate about health to diverse audiences (including the science illiterate) and across (both Western and developing economies) have been complicated by politics, norms and mores, personal heuristics, and biases, such as mortality salience, news avoidance, and quarantine fatigue. Issues of economic development and land use, trade and transportation, and even climate change have increased the exposure of human populations to infectious diseases making risk and resilience more pressing. The book has been designed to support health communicators and public health management professionals, students, and interested stakeholders and university libraries.
Matrizes interacionais
Os processos comunicacionais são habitualmente “perguntados” a partir de angulações sociológicas, econômicas, lingüísticas, políticas (entre outras), direcionadas por premissas daqueles campos. Diversamente, nosso enfoque busca perguntas e ângulos de observação mais próximos de preocupações comunicacionais. Temos a premissa de que todos os processos sociais se desenvolvem tentativamente – a partir de problemas, necessidades e interesses inerentes ao próprio fato de compartilharmos o mundo da natureza e dos humanos. Este, apesar de apresentar capítulos com autores individualmente nomeados, não é uma coletânea de artigos. A obra é uma produção conjunta do Grupo de Pesquisa Dispositivos & Circuitos em Comunicação, com a composição indicada na capa (na ordem dos capítulos). Os trabalhos foram iniciados por um Seminário, em outubro de 2012, a partir da heurística, então em fase preliminar de elaboração, proposta por José Luiz Braga, Coordenador do Grupo.

Changing Sentiments and the Magdalen Hospital
Sentimentalism became popular in the eighteenth century, part of the philosophical idea that truth is founded on emotion or moral sentiment. Peace uses the London Magdalen Hospital for Penitent Prostitutes as a prism through which to explore the sentimental writing of this period.
