Intersectional Feminism in the Age of Transnationalism: Voices from the Margins explores the limitations of the transnationalist approach to feminism and questions the neoliberal emphasis on individual freedom and consumer choice as the central goals of feminist activism. The contributions to the volume discuss such varied topics as fiction by Edwidge Dandicat, Judith Ortiz-Cofer, and Diamela Eltit; visual art of Laura Aguilar and Maruja Mallo; films directed by Lucrecia Martel; a TV series based on a novel by María Dueñas; the art-activism of Ani Ganzala and Zinha Franco; and the philosophical thought of Gloria Anzaldúa. All chapters proceed from the belief in the continued usefulness of intersectionality as a valuable category of critical analysis that is particularly necessary at the time when the effects of neoliberal globalization are undermining many familiar categories of critical inquiry.
This book contains contributions from the IX International Scientific Conference “Digital Transformation of the Economy: Challenges, Trends and New Opportunities,” which was organized by Samara State University of Economics (SSEU, Samara, Russia), 2021, and devoted to the 90th anniversary of this higher education institution. Digital technologies became even more in demand during the pandemic, when companies, state authorities, and educational organizations were forced to switch to a remote format of work. The “forced” digitization of the usual ways of activity required rapid and decisive changes. Understanding the ongoing digital transformation implies the relevance of further in-de...
This book is based on research from Russia, Hungary, Bulgaria, Great Britain, Switzerland and the Czech Republic on issues related to knowledge-based economy development. The idea for this book was developed during three international conferences on digitalization: VI, VII and VIII International Scientific Weeks, organized by Samara State University of Economics (Samara, Russia) in 2018–2020. It is an initiative by the scientific and business organizations in the Samara Region and their Russian and international partners to analyze the current digitalization of social-economic systems, the problems and perspectives of this process, and its role in the creation and development of a new type...
This book brings together new research on the practices of newsmaking. Participation, engagement and collaboration have long been heralded as a vision, goal or emerging practice in the news. The claim in this volume is that they have now become sedimented as the common-sense baseline for everyday newsmaking routines. The issue for newsmakers is not ‘whether’ to engage with readers and users, but ‘how’ to engage with them. The contributions span a wide range of newsmaking contexts, including analytics-based online headline testing, the communication efforts of a Brussels-based free marketeer thinktank, collaborative science journalism and rapidly changing journalistic sourcing and wri...
Die Zukunft kommt nicht nur unausweichlich auf uns zu, sie wird vorhergesagt, domestiziert, reguliert, befürchtet, imaginiert und inszeniert. Der populären Kultur kommt dabei eine besondere Rolle zu. Hier werden Zukunftsentwürfe zur Disposition gestellt, global verfügbar gemacht und sie erreichen in den sozialen wie in den klassischen Massenmedien große Publika. Die Zukunft wird in populären Medientexten visuell oder klanglich greif- und erfahrbar. Sie ist dabei keineswegs nur Gegenstand der Unterhaltung, sondern die Auseinandersetzung mit ihr ist immer auch politisch. Mediale Repräsentationen der Zukunft bleiben zudem nicht folgenlos. Sie prägen Alltag und Lebenswelt. Wie aber wird die Zukunft in populären Medien inszeniert? Wie werden Zukünfte medial dargestellt, wie wird die Zukunft imaginiert und repräsentiert? Welche Rückschlüsse können aus einer Analyse von Zukunftsentwürfen in der Populärkultur auf die jeweilige Gegenwart gezogen werden? Die Beiträge dieses Bandes untersuchen Zukunftsentwürfe aus einer medien-, kultur- oder sozialwissenschaftlichen Perspektive.
Wer trägt das Risiko, wenn künstlicher Intelligenz – etwa ChatGPT – schadensträchtige Fehler unterlaufen? Wenn die beteiligten Menschen sorgfältig gehandelt haben, haftet nach geltendem Recht – niemand. Um dieser gravierenden Verantwortungslücke zu begegnen, entwerfen Anna Beckers und Gunther Teubner drei rechtliche Haftungsregime, für die sie Erkenntnisse aus der Soziologie sowie der Moral- und der Technikphilosophie heranziehen: Prinzipal-Agenten-Haftung für Handlungen autonomer Software-Agenten (»Aktanten«), Netzwerkhaftung für verdichtete Mensch-KI-Interaktionen (»Hybride«) und fondbasierte Entschädigung für vernetzte KI-Systeme (»Schwärme«). Ein bahnbrechender Lösungsvorschlag für eine hochaktuelle Problematik.
