Media Life is a course intended for undergraduate students across campus. Its goal is to make people aware of the role that media play in their everyday life. The key to understanding a "media life" is to see our lives not as lived WITH media (which would lead to a focus on media effects and media-centric theories of society), but rather IN media (where the distinction between what we do with and without media dissolves).

Digital Humanities_ Bridging Technology and Humanities for a Digital Age.pdfJasmineLowlarnce
There has been a significant shift in how universities and research institutions operate in this digital age. As a result of the humanities' openness to the possibilities offered by technological advances, a new multidisciplinary area has emerged: digital humanities. With dissertation homework help, learning about the goal of this interdisciplinary field is to deepen our understanding of humanities topics like history, literature, language, and art through the use of computational techniques, data analysis, as well as digital tools. The field of Digital Humanities serves as a pivotal link between the evergreen insights of the arts and the ever-evolving capabilities of technological advances, opening up novel avenues for scholarly inquiry and practical application.
The MA in Digital Humanities at King's College London looks at how we create and disseminate knowledge in an age where so much of what we do is mobile, networked and mediated by digital culture and technology
It gives a critical perspective on digital theory and practice in studying human culture, from the perspectives of academic scholarship, cultural heritage and the commercial world
We study the history and current state of the digital humanities, and their role in modelling, curating, analysing and interpreting digital representations of human culture in all its forms.

Comparative Literature in the Age of Digital Humanities _ On Possible Future ...Hina Parmar
1.The changes brought about by new communication technologies are as profound and sweeping as the invention of print and the discovery of the New World. We are in a major transitional moment in history.
2. These technologies have both liberatory potential through democratizing information, but also a dangerous capacity for control and violence. There is an inescapable dialectical tension.
3. Humanists must involve themselves in debates about digital culture and technology to ensure corporate interests do not dominate these spaces and our cultural legacy.
4. We need new critical methods and conceptual understandings to grapple with digital texts and culture, which transform assumptions about mediation, authorship, discourse, etc.
5. The article puts forth comparative media studies, data studies, and authorship/platform studies as three avenues for a future comparative literature adapted to the digital age.
6. Models like Wikipedia illustrate the power of open, collaborative knowledge production. Institutions like universities need to think about how to integrate these models into learning.

Some critics may have you believe that computer game studies lack theoretical rigor, that games cannot afford meaningful experiences. I agree with them, sometimes, but I also believe that a richer understanding of computer games is possible, and that this understanding can shed some light on related issues in the wider field of Digital Humanities.
My main area of research has been designing and evaluating how contextually appropriate interaction can aid the understanding of cultures distant in time, space, and in understanding to our own. This field is sometimes called Virtual Heritage. In Virtual Heritage, tools of choice are typically virtual reality environments, and the projects are very large in scale, complexity, and cost, while my projects are often prototypes and experimental designs. I have many challenges, for example, morphing technological constraints into cultural affordances, and avoiding possible confusion between artistic artifice and historical accuracy, all the while evaluating intangible concepts in a systematic way without disturbing the participants’ sense of immersion. To help me judge the success or failure of these projects I have shaped some working definitions of games, culture, cultural understanding, cultural inhabitation, and place. However, these concepts and definitions are not enough. I also have to now tackle the issues of simulated violence, artificial “other” people, the temptation of entertainment masquerading as education, and the difficulties inherent in virtually evoking a sense of ritual.
My lecture, then, is a discussion into how game-based learning, and the study of culture, heritage and history, might meaningfully intersect.
Research on Data Integration of Overseas Discrete Archives From the Perspecti...dannyijwest
The digitization of displaced archives is of great historical and cultural significance. Through the
construction of digital humanistic platforms represented by MISS Platform, and the comprehensive
application of IIIF technology, knowledge graph technology, ontology technology, and other popular
information technologies. We can find that the digital framework of displaced archives built through the
MISS platform can promote the establishment of a standardized cooperation and dialogue mechanism
between the archives’ authorities and other government departments. At the same time, it can embed the
works of archives in the construction of digital government and the economy, promote the exploration of the
integration of archives management, data management, and information resource management, and
ultimately promote the construction of a digital society. By fostering a new partnership between archives
departments and enterprises, think tanks, research institutes, and industry associations, the role of multiple
social subjects in the modernization process of the archives governance system and governance capacity will
be brought into play.
In his public lecture, Christian Timmerer provides insights into the fascinating history of video streaming, starting from its humble beginnings before YouTube to the groundbreaking technologies that now dominate platforms like Netflix and ORF ON.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
