I Know It When I Hear It

In the following article I consider a catalog of audio description porn videos available on the online adult entertainment platform Pornhub. Attending to the visual and aural elements of the original source video and their simultaneous narration in the audio descriptive tracks, I argue that this transcription offers us, the viewer/auditor, an ekphrastic encounter with the pornographic moving image mediated by the acousmatic gendered voice of the audio describer. While academic scholarship on pornography informs my discussion of the source videos, theories of ekphrasis ranging from its usage in Ancient Greek rhetoric, to its formulation in twentieth-century anglophone literary theory, and finally to its application in digital visual culture, will underpin my analysis of the audio description. Through ekphrasis I ultimately distinguish the audio description of pornography as a creative genre in its own right, as well as offer an extensive and interdisciplinary approach that extends beyond the recursive or self-reflexive lens of porn studies scholarship, and newly positions hardcore film pornography within a larger body of academic inquiry in conversation with epic poetry and art history.

Using case studies by conducting literature reviews and discussions with informants who have the same background, namely students regarding the bikini.bottom.news account, the authors obtain data that the TikTok platform, especially on the bikini.bottom.news account has two acceptances, which are considered to have met the skill requirements of a journalist to be trusted for the credibility of the news content and are considered not in accordance with the provisions of the expertise of a journalist and the content is considered not credible.

Room with a viewership: visibility work & Twitch.tv in the domestic context

ABSTRACT This paper argues for the domestic worksites of marginalized game streamers as a crucial site for understanding the politics of visibility work on platforms. Twitch.tv stands out as Amazon’s world-leading platform for live video entertainment. Through ethnographic interactions with Twitch creators (n = 12), I clarify the challenges marginalized individuals face in livestreaming’s platformization of game cultures. While streaming provides opportunities for creative self-expression and shields against hostile gaming communities, it also relocates streamers’ precarities before audiences to the sensitive enclaves of domestic space. Consequently, Twitch streamers must delicately balance self-presentation and discretion due to the looming threat of over-exposure in a historically unfriendly gaming culture. By exploring these dual experiences from the standpoint of vulnerable creators, this paper offers insights into the intricate strategies of visibility management in social media work. It also contributes to the ongoing discourse on the construction of online presence, extending into feminist theories of domestic work and the social reproduction of online game environments.

The Influence of Perceived Value, Customer Satisfaction, and Trust on Loyalty in Entertainment Platforms

This study explores the intricate relationships between perceived value, customer satisfaction, trust, and loyalty in the context of the dynamic online entertainment platform industry. As the entertainment landscape has evolved from traditional formats to digital and interactive experiences, businesses face intense competition and the need to innovate to attract and retain users. This study introduces a comprehensive research model that defines perceived value in three dimensions: utilitarian, hedonic, and social. It also investigates the roles of customer satisfaction and trust as mediators in the connection between perceived value and loyalty. A survey of entertainment platform users reveals that enhancing utilitarian and hedonic values can increase customer satisfaction and that all three perceived value dimensions positively influence trust. Customer satisfaction partially mediates the relationship between utilitarian value and loyalty and fully mediates the relationship between hedonic value and loyalty; however, trust does not act as a mediator in this context. The theoretical implications enhance our understanding of these relationships while the managerial implications provide actionable insights for businesses seeking to refine their customer-focused approaches in the competitive online entertainment landscape.

Social media use among adolescents with eating disorders: a double-edged sword.

Eating disorders are on the rise with a significant impact on mental health. Misuse of social media platforms is likely a significant contributing factor. This trend is especially pronounced among adolescents, who are increasingly using social media platforms for communications, building relationships, learning and entertainment. The unsupervised sharing of social media content can have drastic consequences on the physical and psychological wellbeing of youth, which often takes the form of "thinspiration" or "fitspiration". This probably serves as a trigger for those already struggling with eating disorders. In addition, there is a lack of awareness among youth and adults on ideal knowledge-sharing practices related to an eating disorder. By addressing the unique challenges that social media presents for youth with eating disorders, communities can work towards creating a safer and more supportive online environment on a global scale. At this junction, this article aims to share the current challenges of social media use among adolescents with eating disorders and put forth recommendations for how social media could be used as a tool for positive impact in this population.

Navigating the digital world: development of an evidence-based digital literacy program and assessment tool for youth

The rapid expansion of digital connectivity has provided youth with wide-ranging access to digital platforms for communication, entertainment, and education. In light of this profound shift, there have been growing concerns about online safety, data privacy, and cybersecurity. A critical factor influencing the ability of youth to responsibly navigate digital platforms is digital literacy. While digital literacy programs have been implemented in various regions worldwide, significant disparities remain not only in overall digital literacy levels, but also the assessment of digital literacy initiatives. To address these challenges, an environmental scan and literature review were conducted to identify existing digital literacy programs in Canada developed specifically for youth, as well as digital literacy assessment tools, respectively. The search encompassed peer-reviewed articles, organizational curricula, and assessment measures indexed in various databases and organization websites. The environmental scan identified 15 programs targeting key components of digital literacy such as data safety, cyberbullying, and digital media. The literature review identified 12 digital literacy assessment tools. Based on the findings, data were synthesized from shortlisted programs and assessment tools to inform the development of both a new digital literacy program and assessment tool to complement the youth-focused program. The new program focuses on four key components: (1) digital fluency, (2) digital privacy and safety, (3) ethics and empathy, and (4) consumer awareness. A 15-item assessment tool was also developed consisting of 4–5 questions specific to each program component. Given the growing importance of digital competencies, a youth-focused program and assessment tool are crucial for understanding and addressing digital literacy among this vulnerable cohort. This program's adaptability allows for customization across sociodemographic target groups, including culturally diverse and geographically remote communities—an aspect that has the potential to enhance digital literacy across settings. Implementing digital literacy programs can better prepare youth for an increasingly digital world, while minimizing potential risks associated with technology use.

Senti-Sequence: Learning to Represent Texts for Sentiment Polarity Classification
