İntihar, tüm toplumlar için giderek daha da ciddiye alınması gereken bir sorun hâline gelmektedir. Hem akademik anlamda hem de müdahale çalışmaları çerçevesinde intiharın anlaşılması büyük önem taşımaktadır. Günümüzde intihar, ölüm nedenleri sıralamasında ilk onda yer alıyor. Özellikle genç bireylerin ölümleri mercek altına alındığında oran üçte bire kadar çıkmaktadır. İntiharın neden olduğu kayıplar, kaybedilen hayatlarla da sınırlı kalmaz. İntihar, ardında bıraktığı enkaz sebebiyle ölen kişinin yakınlarını da dalga etkisi altına alır. Bu yanıyla bakıldığında intihar, bireyden topluma doğru yayılan bir kayıp, acı ve ...

İçinde yaşadığımız dünya giderek medyanın yapılandırdığı bir dünya haline gelmektedir. Kültürel, ekonomik, siyasi, eğitim, eğlence, haber ve gündem oluşturma gibi birçok kamusal görevi yerine getiren kitle iletişim araçları, aynı zamanda bireylerin davranış ve tutumlarını da etkileme ve yönlendirme gücüne sahiptir. Gündelik hayatımızdaki düşünceleri topluma benimseten de medyadır. İçinde yaşadığımız yüzyılın gelişmelerine uyum sağlamak, toplumsal değişimlere uzak kalmamak adına teknolojik yenilik ve gelişmeleri takip etmekteyiz. Bu bağlamda kitle iletişim araçları son derece önemli rol oynamaktadır. Aynı zamanda iletişim ve medya alanında yer alan çalışmalar bizlere yeni ufuklar açmakla birlikte içinde yaşadığımız toplumu da daha iyi tanımamızı sağlayacaktır.
Erzählungen von Grenzüberschreitungen sind in Literatur und Film nicht selten. Sie sind aber geradezu unvermeidbar, wenn es um Mission geht. Das gilt sowohl für Literatur und Filme, die Mission in einem engeren Sinn verstehen, wie es etwa in »End of the Spear« von Jim Hanon, Abdulrazak Gurnahs »Nachleben« oder in dokumentarischen »Missionsfilmen« verschiedener Missionsgesellschaften der Fall ist. Grenzüberschreitungen sind aber auch zentral in Büchern und Filmen, die ein eher weites Verständnis von Mission konstruieren wie etwa »Dune« von Frank Herbert bzw. David Lynch oder Denis Villeneuve oder »Karte und Gebiet« von Michel Houellebecq. Die Beiträge analysieren eine Fülle ...
Winner of the AECT Division of Distance Learning (DDL) Distance Education Book Award! This handbook provides a comprehensive compendium of research in all aspects of mobile learning, one of the most significant ongoing global developments in the entire field of education. Rather than focus on specific technologies, expert authors discuss how best to utilize technology in the service of improving teaching and learning. For more than a decade, researchers and practitioners have been exploring this area of study as the growing popularity of smartphones, tablets, and other such devices, as well as the increasingly sophisticated applications for these devices, has allowed educators to accommodate and support an increasingly mobile society. This handbook provides the first authoritative account of the theory and research that underlies mobile learning, while also exemplifying models of current and future practice.
Feminist Translation Studies: Local and Transnational Perspectives situates feminist translation as political activism. Chapters highlight the multiple agendas and visions of feminist translation and the different political voices and cultural heritages through which it speaks across times and places, addressing the question of how both literary and nonliterary discourses migrate and contribute to local and transnational processes of feminist knowledge building and political activism. This collection does not pursue a narrow, fixed definition of feminism that is based solely on (Eurocentric or West-centric) gender politics—rather, Feminist Translation Studies: Local and Transnational Persp...
The Internet: A Philosophical Inquiry develops many of the themes Gordon Graham presented in his highly successful radio series, The Silicon Society. Exploring the tensions between the warnings of the Neo-Luddites and the bright optimism of the Technophiles, Graham offers the first concise and accessible exploration of the issues which arise as we enter further into the world of Cyberspace. This original and fascinating study takes us to the heart of questions that none of us can afford to ignore: how does the Internet affect our concepts of identity, moral anarchy, censorship, community, democracy, virtual reality and imagination? Free of jargon and full of stimulating ideas, this is essential reading for anyone wishing to think clearly and informatively about the complexities of our technological future.
New Media Technology provides a clear and conceptual mapping of this rapidly changing field. Readers will enjoy its comprehensive scope, the level of appropriate detail, and real world examples. Its focus on enduring yet timely issues gives the book a usefulness not found elsewhere.

It addition, this text also explores laboratory experimental technologies, such as omni-directional imaging, and theoretical implications of new media. Special attention is also paid towards marketing issues, a topic currently overlooked in other texts of this nature. New material includes updated information on global positioning, satellite mapping as well as the latest legal ramifications affecting the industry, specifically the Telecommunications Act of 1996. New Media specialists, journalists, and advertising and public relations employees. Part of the Allyn & Bacon Series in Mass Communication.
Knowledge democracy is an emerging concept that addresses the relationships between knowledge production and dissemination, as well as the functions of the media and democratic institutions. Although democracy has been the most successful concept of governance for societies for the last two centuries, representative democracy, which became the hallmark of advanced nation-states, seems to be in decline. Media politics is an important factor in the downfall of the original meaning of representation, yet more direct forms of democracy have not yet found an institutional embedding. Further, the Internet has also drastically changed the rules of the game, and a better educated public has broad access to information, selects for itself which types to examine, and ignores media filters. Some citizens have even become "media" themselves. In a time where the political agendas are filled with combatting so-called evils, new designs for the relationships between science, politics and media are needed. This book outlines the challenges entailed in pursuing a vital knowledge democracy.
This book is about teletext: a ?broadcast service using several otherwise unused scanning lines (vertical blanking intervals) between frames of TV pictures to transmit information from a central data base to receiving television sets?. To the contributors to this book and possibly to many readers, this technical definition will feel out of place as it obscures the rich history of a formidable if forgotten medium. Nevertheless, it is the basic technology of teletext that sets it apart from other media and that, in part, has been the basis for much of what did and did not happen to teletext in terms of policy, institutional setting, content, users and scholarly interest. Many contributions in this book will provide similar definitions, but mostly as a stepping-stone to explore all that has so far been left unsaid by this technical description. It is this gap in our knowledge of teletext in Europe that this book aims to fill.
