뉴미디어 패러다임에 나타난 공간 특성과 뉴미디어 아트의 관계 연구

0 and 1, two digits are principle and formality of digital media. Those principle and formality dwell in new media paradigm. They are founded on emergence of new types of space. As describing the relationship originating from the concepts of digital media paradigm and space and discussing their characteristics, this paper presents the grounds for a theoretical argument for formation of new space. The concept of virtuality which mimics and represents the real, non-linearity which resembles human system of thinking and sensing, and interactivity connecting the communication theory of human and machine, their properties form the important basis for emergence of a new aspect of space. The concepts of digital media paradigm divide a type of space into two properties. The first is a inner modality. The second is outer modality. Dynamic space implicates inner modality that humans internally recognize the sense of space through their body and sensing organs. Space is not sensed but sensing. Space has an organic nature through object's interaction. Space has an outer nature that is physically variable. Finally, space has properties of modularity that changes structure of space. For empirical basis of an argument, new media art that has architectural form and those spatial characteristics were compared and analyzed. This conceptual discussion for space which the formality of digital media is applied will be an important foundation for create space design.

Materialities of Independent Publishing: A Conversation with Aaaaarg, Chto Delat?, I Cite, Mute, and Neural

Abstract This text is a conversation among practitioners of independent political media, focusing on the diverse materialities of independent publishing associated with the new media environment. The conversation concentrates on the publishing projects with which the participants are involved: the online archive and conversation platform AAAAARG, the print and digital publications of artist and activist group Chto Delat?, the blog I Cite, and the hybrid print/digital magazines Mute and Neural. Approaching independent media as sites of political and aesthetic intervention, association, and experimentation, the conversation ranges across a number of themes, including: the technical structures of new media publishing; financial constraints in independent publishing; independence and institutions; the sensory properties of paper and the book; the politics of writing; design and the aesthetics of publishing; the relation between social media and communicative capitalism; publishing as art; publishing as self-education; and post-digital print.Keywords independent publishing, art publishing, activist publishing, digital archive, blog, magazine, newspaperBETWEEN DISCOURSE AND ACTNicholas Thobum (NT) In one way or another all of you have an investment in publishing as a political practice, where publishing might be understood loosely as a political 'gesture' located 'between the realm of discourse and the material act'.1 And in large measure, this takes the path of critical intervention in the form of the media with which you work - newspaper, blog, magazine, and digital archive. That is, media come forward in your publishing practice and writing as complex sets of materials, capacities, and effects, and as sites of political intervention and critical reflection.The aim of this conversation is to concentrate on these materials, capacities, and effects of independent media (a term, 'independent media', that I use advisedly, given its somewhat pre-digital associations and a nagging feeling that it lacks purchase on the complexity of convergent media environments). I'm keen as much as possible to keep each of your specific publishing projects at the forefront of the conversation, to convey a strong sense of their 'materialities': the technical and aesthetic forms and materials they mobilise; what strategies of authorship, editorship, or collectivity they employ; how they relate to publics, laws, media paradigms, financial structures; how they model or represent their media form, and so on. To start us off, I would like to invite each of you to introduce your publishing project with a few sentences: its aims, the mediums it uses, where it's located, when established - that kind of thing.Jodi Dean (JD) I started my blog, I Cite, in January 2005. It's on the Typepad platform. I pay about 20 dollars a year for some extra features.I first started the blog so that I could 'talk' to people in a format that was not an academic article or an email. Or maybe it's better to say that I was looking for a medium in which to write, where what I was writing was not immediately constrained by the form of an academic piece, written alone, appearing once and late, if at all, or by the form of an email which is generally of a message sent to specific people, who may or may not appreciate being hailed or spammed every time something occurs to me.There was another reason for starting the blog, though. I had already begun formulating my critique of communicative capitalism (in the book Publicity's Secret and in a couple of articles).2 I was critical of the way that participatory media entraps people into a media mentality, a 24/7 mindset of reaching an audience and competing with the mainstream press. I thought that if my critique is going to be worth anything, I better have more firsthand experience, from the very belly of the beast.Alessandro Ludovico (AL) I'm the editor in chief of Neural, a printed and online magazine established in 1993 in Bari (Italy) dealing with new media art, electronic music and hacktivism. …

Transition and transcendence: the innovative development of Shanghai Library

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to review and examine the necessities and potentials for transition of a library from paper‐based paradigm to all media paradigm in the new changing age; and to recount the innovation efforts made by Shanghai Library aimed at actualising its development strategy.Design/methodology/approachThis paper reviews the major impacts that had fallen on libraries of the world, and the dilemma in particular that Shanghai Library was confronted with in its attempt to optimise the library services. Examples are given with facts and figures to illustrate how the library has been conducting innovation practices to fulfil its paradigm shift.FindingsThe paper concludes that today's libraries need fundamental transformation through innovation practices in various aspects and dimensions to keep up with the times.Practical implicationsThe paper offers practical information and advice to those considering paradigm shift as a strategic organisational imperative.Originality/valueThis paper demonstrates how the Shanghai Library has achieved transcendence through transition of its business priority from the paper collection to the various formats that keeps in alliance with the digital and, in further foresight, the omnimedia age.

Coups, Conflicts and Human Rights: Pacific Media Paradigms and Challenges

The role of news media in the global South nations and declining credibility in some sectors of the developed world’s Fourth Estate pose challenges for the future of democracy in the Pacific region. Truth, censorship, ethics and corporate integrity are critical media issues in a region faced with coups, such as in Fiji (four in the past two decades) and attempted in Papua New Guinea (Sandline mercenary crisis in 1997), conflicts and rampant human rights violations, such as in West Papua. This commentary reflects on the challenges in the context of the political economy of the media and journalism education in the Asia-Pacific in 2012. The relevance to the region of emerging disciplines such as deliberative journalism, peace journalism, human rights journalism, and notions of critical development journalism are also discussed.

Podcasting in Spain: A new business model or a reflection of traditional radio?

In recent years, the launch of new diffusion technologies has changed the transmission and reception paradigm of traditional media. The podcast has arisen as a new way of distributing on-demand radio material and other related audible content on the Internet. This article discusses the technology, consumption, copyright and new business models in relation to podcasting as a radio enterprise. The text specifically analyses Spanish public and private radio companies, in order to draw a picture of the relationship between podcasting and radio.

Evangelical Youth Culture: Christian Music and the Political

AbstractEvangelical Christianity has become a powerful force in American popular media and the political arena. The reason for evangelicalism’s rise to prominence has been widely researched. Contemporary manifestations of popular evangelicalism remain connected to a mythology that can be traced to one of many expressions commonly associated with the American counterculture of the 1960s, specifically a revival of conservative Christianity known as the Jesus Movement, a new way of expressing Christian belief that largely targeted American youth. Today’s youth (not unlike youth in every generation) continue to seek identity. For the most part, the media paradigm that emerged during the 1970s and 1980s evolved into a parallel universe of evangelical culture, which operated as chief purveyor of both evangelical belief and identity. The result was a groundswell of new activity as the evangelical culture industry rallied around new, popular ways of expressing Christian belief; the most compelling example has been contemporary Christian music. This essay will focus primarily on Christian music as a potential causal agent in the lives of evangelical youth, and considers how these youth are formed by music while also challenging how popular music represents evangelical belief and identity.

Social Obsolescence of the TV Fee and the Financial Crisis of Finnish Public Service Media

One of the most common arguments in the current debate about financing public service media in Finland is that the traditional TV fee has become obsolete due to the technological development. However, instead of having abandoned TV for new media, people are actually using their traditional TV sets even more like before. Rather than being a victim of technological obsolescence, the problem of the TV fee is its diluting social acceptance due to a growing dominance of a neoliberal media paradigm.

La sequía en el Ecuador

Desde 1944, año en que se creó la Caja Nacional de Riego, el Ecuador todavía no logra una Ley de Riego para las regiones pobres en zonas secas o alejadas de las fuentes naturales de agua. Solamente en las provincias del Guayas, Manabí y Los Ríos las deficiencias de riego alcanzan a un millón de hectáreas según el MAGAP en el último Censo Agropecuario. Sin embargo, podríamos regar 150 mil ha de esa gran área seca y poblada, solamente con descargar 145m3/s de la Presa Daule Peripa (3036 Hm3 anuales), que, de otro modo, paradójicamente se perdería diariamente una parte de ese volumen en el Océano. Una extensión similar en las estribaciones de Bolívar y Loja y en el valle interandino, han agotado sus fuentes de agua originales, a pesar de que existen cuencas vecinas en las estribaciones cuyos inmensos ríos vierten al Océano Atlántico. En el otro extremo de la paradoja, está el paradigma mediático sobre las inundaciones como el único riesgo existente de tipo Hidro meteorológico, mientras las ciudades como Guayaquil se saturan de inmigrantes de esas provincias que huyen por falta de agua para sus tierras y ganado.

E-러닝의 시스템품질과 동기화요인이 학업성과에 미치는 영향에 관한 연구 : 학습몰입의 매개효과를 중심으로

Recently, the development of ICT(information & communications technology) with the advent of new media paradigm shift in learning has brought a dramatic impact on the competitiveness of universities. The previous studies on the academic performance of e-learning mainly targeted on e-learning users, studying additional synchronization and system quality factors to measure academic performance. This study empirically analyzed the learning flow and academic performance considering both DeLone & McLean model system quality and synchronizing factors based on ARCS model. Relating to quality and synchronization factors, the academic performance of e-learning system was tested, and the difference between learning flow and academic performance was also analyzed based on time-series data, by the test difference(in the beginning, during, and final of the semester). The results of the study are as follows. First, the study shows that both system quality and synchronization directly affected the learning performance. Thus, when designing e-learning system, it is necessary to consider these two factors at the same time. Second, the indirectly mediating effect on the system quality and synchronization factors turned out to be significant in learning flow. Third, the result of regression analysis on the contents of utilizing dummy variable presents that the teacher`s explanation has greater influence than multimedia has to the academic performance, and furthermore, the test difference showed no significance. Further research should be undertaken to consider the learner`s degree of acceptance which reflects various aspects for building m-learning or u-learning.

O źródłach pamięci miasta w nowoczesności

The analysis of urban experience of modernity developed simultaneously with the analysis of collective memory. Urban space is related with a palimpsest metaphor, which includes urban memory in the history of memory understood as a history of the media. In recent years the relationship between memory and a city is analyzed on the examples featuring multiculturalism and migration movements of the cities of the Central Europe, e.g. in the Vienna monograph ca. 1900 Das Gedächtnis der Städte (The Memory of the City) by Moritz Csaky. On the other hand, the media paradigm is used by Christine Boyer, who analyses visual manifestations of city memory in her book The City of Collective Memory. Juxtaposition of the two mutually complementing scientific attitudes invokes a need to postulate a deeper analysis of the role of popular culture and visuality in shaping the memory of cities, as well as conducting further studies on cross-country and transnational “cultural tangles”.

Journalism for Peace and Justice: Towards a Comparative Analysis of Media Paradigms

This paper compares different normative and institutional paradigms of journalism with respect to peaceful conflict resolution and democratic communication. It begins with the problematic but still dominant 'regime of objectivity,' and then considers three contemporary challengers: peace journalism, alternative media, and media democratization/communication rights movements. The paradigms are compared in terms of such factors as public philosophy, epistemological assumptions, characteristic practices, institutional entailments, relationship to dominant institutions and power structures, allies and opponents, and antagonisms and synergies between them. I conclude that while peace journalism is a promising initiative, it could gain traction by exploring synergies with the other challenger paradigms.

Have You Played the War on Terror?

The media paradigm by which we understand war is increasingly the video game. These changes are not only reflected in the real-time television war, but also an increased collusion between military and commercial uses of video games. The essay charts the border-crossing of video games between military and civilian spheres alongside attendant discourses of war. Of particular interest are the ways that war has been coded as an object of consumer play and how official productions aimed at training and recruitment have cast video games as players themselves in the War on Terror. The essay argues that this crossover has initialized a “third sphere” of militarized civic space where the citizen is supplanted by the figure of the virtual citizen-soldier.

“Her Say” in the Media Mainstream: A Cultural Feminist Manifesto

The “Her Say” column of the “Womanews” section in the Chicago Tribune functioned as an editorial to position the new women's section and provide women-centered perspectives on issues. Written by women from outside the Tribune staff during its 1991 launch, “Her Say” spoke in voices drawn from the larger women's community, often harkening back to earlier notions of gender to bring forward concepts and rework them to fit American women in the 1990s. Using sex difference and privileging sisterhood, “Her Say” articulated the terms of a separate women's culture, the bounds of which continued to be defined by newspapers across the nation as they introduced their own women's sections. Through “Her Say” this section signaled a shift in the media paradigm from liberal feminism to a cultural feminist approach, which called for a reconnection among women through women's media in the media mainstream. The myth for the 1990s that emerged from “Her Say” was that of a world-weary prodigal daughter returning to the hearth. As the mouthpiece for the “Womanews” section, “Her Say” heralded a revaluing of “woman,” and challenged the industry to hasten its redefinition of “news” for 21st -century relevancy.

Computable Culture and the Closure of the Media Paradigm

This review essay on Manovich's THE LANGUAGE OF NEW MEDIA (2000)argues that Manovich has developed the most convincing definition of new media to date. Manovich's concept of new media is unique for the way it balances astute interpretation of new technologies of computation (the interface, the database, etc.) with a rich and full sense of the long history of media culture.
