Popular culture and posthuman feminism. An exercise in thinking with Rosi Braidotti and Brit Marling

ABSTRACT The paper analyses the work of fiction by author, producer, and actor Brit Marling in the context of posthumanism and ecofeminism and in dialogue with philosopher and posthumanist theorist Rosi Braidotti. Co-creator of three movies and a TV series, Marling has emerged as a unique and distinctive voice in speculative fiction in the last decade, proposing narratives that examine the role of the human being in a changing world, the importance of relationality, and the need for intra/interspecies and human-earth connections to counter some of the major plagues of our time. The paper highlights how Marling’s work and voice represent not only another step away from the postfeminist era in media and popular culture, but also a defining and innovative look at new forms of media and story-telling and feminist thinking in pop-culture.

Moreover, several cardiovascular changes occur in eAthletes. This paper aims to explore the different injuries that can occur in a professional eAthlete, suggesting how every high-level gamer could benefit from a pre-participation evaluation and a correct injury prevention strategy.

Social Campaign Design about the Story of Sundanese Pantun Ciung Wanara for Teenagers in Bandung

Teenagers are the next generation that will have to bequeath culture to the next generation. Without sufficient understanding, the influence of incoming foreign cultures could replace the local culture. The era of digitalization and culture that also continues to develop should be harmonized. In the sphere of literacy, the era of digitalization brings influence and change to comics. Digital comics that elevate the stories and cultural traditions of a particular region is one example of a form of cultural rejuvenation. Like Metalu Kyoyuzuki's digital comics, 7 Wonders which tells the story of Jaka Tarub, has been liked 9.7 million times with a rating of 9.82 out of 10 since its first airing in July 2016 (cnnindonesia.com: 2020). Folklore itself is a cultural expression of a society through the language of speech that is directly related to various aspects of culture. Broadly speaking, the values in Sundanese culture are reflected through the daily life of the people who live the philosophy of living silih asah, silih asih and silih asuh. In addition, unlike Pantun Melayu, Sundanese pantun story is part of mythical folklore and is considered sacred because it contains a moral message; emotionally; and other life values. The data supporting this research were obtained through literature studies and interviews of resource persons to understand about Ciung Wanara culture and stories. While the determination and data of target audience segmentation is obtained through questionnaires and observations. The rejuvenation of the form and media that packaged the story was conveyed through a social campaign aimed at the late teenagers in Bandung. This campaign is a forum to remind, invite and encourage targets to pay more attention and understand the local culture through exciting new forms of media.

3D애니메이션 기술로 본 메타버스 현존감 구성요소와 발전 방향성 연구

The basic idea of the Metaverse is that users act considering their own goals using avatar characters in virtual space. It has been recently highlighted as a new form of media, and many people therefore use it. Moreover, a variety of research on it has been conducted. The Metaverse is often embodied based on 3D content. Its space and characters all are created by computer graphics, and creators of 3D production technology strive to enhance the degree of realism. Such 3D technology is expected to be applied to the Metaverse and therefore may make a significant contribution to its development. This study aims to examine the technical developments of 3D animations, to propose factors that can be applied to enhance the presence of this technology, and suggest possible developmental orientations of the Metaverse. Previous research on the presence of the Metaverse was investigated and the current Metaverse was analyzed and categorized. In particular, the virtual world should have a sense of realism related to the vision and depends on the communication among users and environmental control. Taken together, the findings suggest the following developmental orientations of the Metaverse: 1) it would strengthen visual amusements by pursuing a form of hyper reality, 2) it would continuously plan and develop new forms of experiences, and 3) it would develop a third type of media combined with new technologies, including block-chain NFT and Web 3.0, among others. This study presents open research directions for the production of content relevant to the Metaverse.

Public Health Directives in a Pandemic: Paradoxical Messages for Domestic Abuse Victims in Four Countries.

When the COVID-19 pandemic manifested urgent concerns were raised around the globe about the increased risk that public health restrictions could pose for victims of domestic abuse. Governments, NGOs and community services swiftly responded to convey the message that services for victims were operational and restrictions did not apply to those fleeing harm. This paper reports on the various approaches used to communicate this public health messaging during COVID-19, further highlighting strengths and learning which could inform future crises messaging. It utilises data gathered through a rapid review and mapping of policy and practice initiatives across 4 high-middle income countries: UK, Australia, South Africa and Ireland. Four themes were identified: (1) Top-down: National media messaging; (2) Top-down: Political leadership; (3) Traditional media vs. social media and (4) Bottom-up messaging: Localised, community-based messaging. It was found that a strong, clear top-down stance on domestic abuse was perceived as beneficial during COVID-19. However, a stronger focus on evaluation, reach and impact, particularly for minority groups may be required. Newer forms of media were shown to have potential in conveying messaging to minority groups. Community and grassroots organizations demonstrated their experiential knowledge in reaching target audiences. Harnessing this expertise for future crises messaging may be valuable.

An ‘abyss of self-love’

Narcissism is increasingly being regarded as one of the most serious sociocultural problemsof the contemporary era. Indeed, recent studies by Baldwin and Stroman (2007) and Buffardiand Campbell (2008), among others, have advanced the opinion that new media technologies– particularly social networking websites – have significantly exacerbated the rise and spread ofnarcissism in contemporary society. Based on this premise that social media provide the perfectplatform for the promotion of self-infatuation, this research paper provides a critical analysis of thepotential influence of social media in the development of a widespread narcissistic socioculturalcondition. In this regard, claims that increasingly consumerist, individualist and media-saturatedsocieties are nurturing a culture of extreme narcissism, vanity and entitlement are examined inrelation to an increase in the use of consumer-orientated new media technologies. In particular,by examining the structural components of the popular social networking site, Facebook,this research highlights the connection between the use of this form of new media and theengenderment of an acutely consumerist and narcissistic subjectivity. That is, the role of newmedia technologies in the promotion of narcissistic identity construction is examined as a factor ofparticular significance in the formation of contemporary subjectivity. In relation to this, the impactof online narcissism on the perpetuation and propagation of capitalist isolation, alienation andinsecurity is investigated before some remedial measures ‒ which co-opt rather than negate suchsocial media ‒ are proposed.

Reflections of Today’s Teens Behavior: From Impressions on Social Media to Cognitive Dissonance

Social media has been used as a form of user character in Cyberspace. The new form of new media that was originally used as a place of self-expression has now built the users’ behavior. The used for representing themselves on social media initially aims to give an impression to other users then occur a cognitive dissonance behavior between behavior in the real world and things uploaded on social media. By using qualitative methods which focus on equilibrium in Tzvetan Todorov’s narrative analysis, researchers want to see the contrast in the behavior of social media users through the film ‘Social Life’. The author uses Impression Management Theory and Cognitive Dissonance Theory to describe and at the same time interpret the impression that the characters want to build in the film as well as the cognitive dissonance of social media users' behavior through the interpretation of the short film ‘Social Life’. The implication of this research is in the form of a narrative plot that shows the uncomfortable situation of the main character (Meredith) due to her desire to display a different self-image on social media so that this cognitive dissonance becomes the main consideration for leaving her social life.

Indigenous Video Games in Libraries

There is a recent movement known as Indigenous Futurisms that examines Indigenous perspectives within the context of technology. In relation to this, video gaming continues to be one of the fastest growing forms of new media, yet diversity in the industry is still an issue. There is especially apparent with a lack of proper representation of Indigenous video game characters and Indigenous storylines. While this is starting to change with the recent rise of a handful of Indigenous owned gaming studios and creators, there are still challenges around accessibility for game play. Video games made by Indigenous creators or with Indigenous characters are for the most part non-existent in most public library collections. When we discuss decolonization in libraries, video games as a popular form of media are often overlooked and not viewed as valuable educational tools that encourage literacy and creativity. This paper suggests changes that can be made to ensure that video games that share Indigenous Knowledges and traditions or are made by Indigenous creators are made accessible and are represented in library collections and spaces.

Relationships to knowledge and (self)educative experiences in Physical Education

Although new forms of media and technology have contributed to teaching and learning in Physical Education Teacher Education (PETE) since the turn of this century, an abrupt expansion in the use of interactive technologies occurred more recently due to the need for social distancing on a global scale because of the Covid-19 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic. In the Brazilian context, pedagogical relationships became mediated synchronously and asynchronously via online platforms. This reconfiguration restricted movement-related experiences in Physical Education, which affected the diversity of students’ embodiment of knowledge and their relationships to knowledge as “subject-bodies”. We understand that there is an anthropological foundation in the theory of the relationship to knowledge — pointed out by Charlot (2020) — that comes close to the anthropological demands explained by Daolio (2001) in Physical Education.

Patterns of media use and leisure time among older adults

The aging population is rapidly growing both in the United States and many other parts of the world. Simultaneously, technology is rapidly progressing, and new forms of media have become integrated into daily life and societal participation. This study uses time diary data from a panel survey of members of nationally representative households ( N = 1776) to explore patterns of media use and functionally equivalent leisure time among older adults. The data support a three-profile typology of older adult use of media and non-media leisure activities. These include the computer socializer, the hobbyist, and the television watcher. We elaborate on these patterns of use and explore correlates with demographic and well-being variables. We find no evidence that well-being significantly differs across profiles of media use but identify income and employment status as potential drivers of older adults’ media activity, with implications for digital inequalities.
