The document discusses how identity is constructed through blogging about dieting. It analyzes a Polish dieting website called Dieta.pl that has over 1,000 diet blogs. These blogs present identity as reflexive projects where the self is constantly monitored and structured through calorie counting, meal planning, and body regimes. Blogging about dieting allows people to simultaneously structure their lives and express their identities online in a way that is intertwined with diet lifestyle constraints.

The Practice of Everyday Life
de Certeau, Michel ‘The Practice of Everyday Life’ in David B. Clarke et. al. (eds.) The Consumption Reader, London; New York: Routledge, 2003, pp.: 259-266.
teaching_everyday_practice_communities_of_practice
The document discusses theories related to communities of practice (CoP) and everyday life. It covers the work of John Dewey, Jean Piaget, Lev Vygotsky, and Michel de Certeau, focusing on their concepts of social learning and everyday tactics. The document also examines Lave and Wenger's work in coining the term CoP and describing situated learning through participation. It provides examples of how CoP theory has been applied in library and information science education and sport coach learning.
The practice of everyday life
This document discusses the concepts of everyday practices, tactics, and strategies. It argues that everyday consumption is a form of production, as people creatively "make" or "do" things with products and images during their leisure time. While strategies are dominant structures imposed by governments or economic systems, tactics are the flexible everyday practices that people use to navigate and even subvert those structures from within. Tactics capture all times and spaces within everyday life. The document provides examples of how tactics can subtly change and reestablish systems, like how pedestrians reconfigure cities through their everyday movements.
The practice of everyday life
The document discusses Michel de Certeau's concepts of strategies and tactics as ways of operating. Strategies are used by institutions to establish systems of power and discipline spaces, while tactics are the creative ways used by individuals to operate within these imposed systems using circumstantial factors to their advantage. Tactics make clever use of cracks and opportunities without a central base. De Certeau argues that everyday practices like speaking, reading and moving about involve tactical manipulation of imposed cultural systems and spaces.
General introduction to the practice of everyday life by michel de certeau
Michel de Certeau was a French polymath interested in religious history, ethnography, and popular culture. He investigated how everyday users operate and make transformations within dominant cultural systems through tactical practices like reading, talking, cooking, and more. De Certeau argued that consumption is a hidden production and users creatively appropriate cultural materials in tactical ways to suit their own interests and rules, resisting social norms through an "antidiscipline" of scattered everyday practices.
Cigdem demir certeau_intro_to_everyday
Michel de Certeau was a French scholar interested in history, ethnography, philosophy and more. He is known for his work "The Practice of Everyday Life" which examines how individuals operate within and resist dominant social systems through everyday tactics and practices. De Certeau argues that consumption involves a hidden, secondary production as users appropriate and creatively manipulate products and rituals imposed by dominant powers to serve their own ends. He analyzes reading, talking and other everyday activities as tactical in nature and sees everyday life as a site of political action through individuals' manipulation of opportunities.
De certeau the practice of everyday life
Michel de Certeau's The Practice of Everyday Life theorizes strategies used by producers of culture and tactics used by ordinary consumers to subvert the dominant economic order. De Certeau argues that consumption is a form of hidden production, as consumers creatively adapt and use products according to their own interests rather than just passively accepting them. He aims to understand culture through analyzing the relations between consumers and producers and the ways consumers operationalize products through everyday practices like cooking, watching television, and using communication technologies. De Certeau sees these everyday tactics as a form of agency that users exercise within dominant structures of power.
Heterotopic relations between media and materiality in children's online memo...
In this paper we analyze how bereaved parents make use of various media-strategies on online memorial sites and on children’s graves when performing processes of grief and commemoration for their stillborns and infants, and how these processes are not just linked to one particular media but take place across media. We show how the death of an infant can lead to mediation, remediation and mediatization strategies which involves both the uses and arrangement of objects on memorial pages and on children’s graves as well as uses of new social technologies, that produce, negotiate and develop social relations, belonging and coherence that are both individual and relational and that are made possible by ritually establishing online memorials and graves as heterotopic interfaces that opens certain communicational flows and accesses specific communicative spaces concerning most prominently the ongoing relations with the dead child and the (re)negotiating of parenthood.
We understand media as a function of an object reflected in human practices and embedded and structured by the different materialities they are intertwined with. We argue that the use of media and materiality online and on the graves are, in various ways, a remediation of everyday parental practices and we demonstrate how such practices and relations are structured in some basic social matrices of how to perform parenthood, both in relation to the dead child and in relation to achieving social appreciation of the missing child and the role as being parents even when the child has died.

John Fiske – İletişim Çalışmalarına Giriş - horozz.net
"İletişim Çalışmalarına Giriş", ilk yayımlanışının üzerinden otuz yıl geçmesine karşın hâlâ dimdik ayakta duran bir giriş kitabı. Başarısını, ele aldığı konuları yalın bir dille ve iyi seçilmiş örneklerle serimlemesine borçlu. Özellikle de gösterge bilim ve yapısalcılığın karmaşık görünen söz dağarını öğrencilere adım adım öğretmesiyle ünlü.
Postmodern theory and theorists
The document provides an overview of several postmodernist theories and theorists related to genre. It discusses John Fiske's theory of intertextuality and how audiences make sense of genres based on cultural knowledge. It also mentions Roland Barthes, Jacques Derrida, Claude Levi-Strauss, Gerard Genette, and their contributions to understanding genres and intertextuality. The document then discusses some key postmodernist thinkers like Baudrillard, Lyotard, Jameson, and their perspectives on simulation, rejecting grand narratives, and viewing postmodernism as responding to late capitalism.
Theories Of Instructional Design
The document discusses various theories of instructional design including cognitive, constructivist, and connectivist perspectives. It outlines key principles such as learning occurring within communities of practice and personal learning environments. Different learning environments are also examined, like cognitive apprenticeship and technology-enabled active learning. Motivation theories including ARCS, self-efficacy, attribution, and goal-setting are summarized.
Postmodernism theories and texts
This document discusses various concepts related to postmodernism, including theories proposed by theorists such as Fiske, Barthes, Derrida, Levi-Strauss, Genette, Baudrillard, Lyotard, Kramer, and Jameson. It examines ideas around intertextuality, genres, simulation, hyperreality, and rejection of grand narratives. Key concepts covered include codes, cultural knowledge, making sense of reality through other texts, circular referentiality, and pastiche vs parody.
Media Theory - Audience Representation Narrative Genre
1. Reception theory examines how audiences receive and make meaning from media texts. It emphasizes that meaning comes from the interaction between the text and the reader/viewer, not from the text itself.
2. David Morley applied reception theory to television with his Nationwide Project, which found that people from different social groups interpreted the same program differently based on their positions.
3. Uses and gratifications theory posits that audiences are active in choosing media to fulfill certain needs, such as escape, social interaction, identity, and information.

This document discusses ethnographic research approaches to studying media practices and the Internet. It provides 4 examples of ethnographic studies that follow people's everyday mediated practices. The studies observe practices like self-producing video, digital photography, blogging, and online dating. They use diverse theoretical frameworks but commonly view the "field" as blurred and defined by participants' practices across physical and digital spaces, rather than a fixed geographical location. Studying practices allows researchers to understand how people engage with and make sense of media technologies in their lives.

The document discusses culture and its application to international marketing and website design based on Hofstede's cultural dimensions. It defines culture and explains that international marketers should consider factors like geography, history, and social institutions when adapting to new cultures. The document then analyzes Hofstede's dimensions of individualism vs. collectivism, power distance, uncertainty avoidance, and masculinity vs. femininity. It provides examples of design adaptations for different cultures along these dimensions, such as using images of groups for collectivist cultures and independence images for individualist cultures. At the end, it prompts analyzing an Egyptian
Corradini2010adlug
This document discusses how libraries can use social tools to promote user participation and collaboration. It explores how popular social tools like Facebook, Flickr, and Twitter have millions of users and questions whether libraries should integrate similar features. The document considers challenges around balancing control with openness and flexibility. It raises questions about whether libraries are ready to be less prescriptive and integrate user suggestions. The goal of social library tools would be to speak to users in their own language and involve them in creating services, but ensuring this is done properly poses challenges around standards, taxonomy, and control versus freedom.
This chapter discusses tensions between ideal culture and real culture.docx
This chapter discusses tensions between ideal culture and real culture in attitudes and practices in society. Things like conventional attractiveness and honesty are often at odds with each other. The document asks the reader to think of other examples where ideal and real culture collide and to discuss their own accumulation of cultural capital and how it relates to social class reproduction. It also prompts the reader to consider a subculture they belong to, discussing its norms, values, artifacts, and unique language through the lens of the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis. Finally, it asks the reader to analyze a video about the Peruvian practice of 'Takanakuy' by identifying cultural elements and applying a sociological paradigm to understand its purpose and significance.
Deploying social software in learning and teaching environments
This document summarizes a study on deploying social software like blogs in distance learning environments. It found that while blogs provided benefits like facilitating reflective practice and community, students struggled with finding purpose for blogging and tensions between private and public sharing. Only 20-30% of students blogged regularly, with 50% not blogging at all, similar to other studies. Students had pragmatic concerns about time and assessment that influenced tool use. Understanding blogs as a genre and negotiating their purpose and context of use is important for adoption in educational settings.

Matthew Vetter presented on his research involving public pedagogy and critical digital praxis. His research focuses on using Wikipedia to teach writing theory and engage students in improving representation and access. He conducted a case study where students researched topics related to gender and contributed new articles or edited existing ones on Wikipedia to address its gender gap. Over three courses, 54 students made over 1,300 edits across 61 articles and created 12 new ones. Vetter's future research will further develop theories of critical digital praxis and its pedagogical benefits while addressing biases reflected in digital spaces like Wikipedia.

Matthew Vetter gave a job talk at Indiana University of Pennsylvania about his research on public pedagogy and critical digital praxis. His research focuses on using wikis and Wikipedia to teach writing theory in a public and interactive way. Specifically, he has studied how to address representation and gender gaps on Wikipedia by having students edit Wikipedia articles. In this talk, he outlined his past research projects, discussed a case study where he had a class edit Wikipedia to improve gender representation, and proposed future directions for using critical digital praxis approaches.
Life History
This document discusses online life histories and how they differ from offline life histories. Online life histories can take advantage of multimedia like photos and videos. They are often episodic and revisable as the narrator continues to post. However, online identities may not be transparent reflections of reality but selective performances aimed at benefits like fame or status. While technology allows constant updating of life histories, online stories may be less authentic and more aimed at gaining social or economic benefits from audiences.
A level media theory knowledge organiser with exam
This document summarizes key concepts and theories from media studies, covering semiotics, narratology, genre theory, structuralism, postmodernism, representation, identity, feminism, audience reception, and media industries. It outlines important ideas from thinkers such as Roland Barthes, Tzvetan Todorov, Steve Neale, Stuart Hall, David Gauntlett, Judith Butler, Paul Gilroy, Albert Bandura, George Gerbner, Henry Jenkins, and David Hesmondhalgh. The concepts discussed include how meaning is constructed through signs and codes, how narratives and genres function, how identity and representation work, how audiences interpret media, and the political and economic contexts of media production and regulation.
Introducting cultural study
This document introduces cultural studies by defining culture and outlining key concepts in cultural studies. It discusses culture as including social organization, institutions, and communication as defined by Raymond Williams. Culture is also described as the stories we tell about ourselves by Clifford Geertz and learned social behaviors by Margaret Mead. Cultural studies borrows from various disciplines like anthropology, sociology, and literary criticism to study culture in its complex forms and political contexts. Major concepts in cultural studies include signs, codes, representation, discourse, identity, and ideology. Popular culture emerges following industrialization and is a site of struggle between social groups.
prof. Thomas Bauer - prezentacija PRilika 2012
Thomas Bauer from the University of Vienna discussed concepts related to understanding social change in media societies. He argued that society, communication, social change, and the future are concepts of observation used to analyze and understand how society thinks about itself. Bauer also noted that social change represents a descriptive metaphor for experiencing alterations in the social environment over time through conceptual frameworks. Understanding the interconnectivity of these concepts provides a terminological model for comprehending the auto-constitutive relationship between society, culture, communication, and organization.
Sc2220 Lecture 1 2009
This document provides an overview of an introductory gender studies course. It outlines the course requirements which include participation in discussion groups, contributing to a course wiki, completing a group project, and taking a final exam. The course will examine gender from biological, social, and cultural perspectives over several weeks and explore topics like the differences between sex and gender, cultural constructions of gender, and social dynamics of gender in societies like Singapore. Students are encouraged to actively engage with course materials through the wiki to facilitate peer-to-peer learning.

Everything 2.0: social software, emergent learning spaces and the ethics of w...University of Newcastle, NSW.
This document discusses the ethics of using social software and emerging online spaces for learning. It notes tensions between formal institutional learning and informal learning with social tools. While social tools can facilitate collaboration and community, they also raise issues around student privacy, authenticity, quality of information, and balancing personal freedoms with institutional responsibilities. The document argues that educators should thoughtfully introduce new technologies in a way that is sensitive to context and negotiated meaning, rather than viewing tools like blogs solely through the lens of the "Web 2.0" concept.mpm17: class 1, introduction to web 2.0
Web 2.0 allows users to move from passive consumption of media to active participation through social media platforms that connect people and facilitate the sharing of information. It provides tools for research like wikis that allow collaborative knowledge development. Web 2.0 gives rise to new forms of collective and connective intelligence as individuals create and share information that is then combined and extended by others in the network.

An avatar refers to the incarnation of a divine being descending to lower realms for special purposes, and is commonly used in Hinduism to refer to incarnations of Vishnu. Technological avatars are emerging through virtual spaces that allow users to govern a virtual universe and develop elements within it. A hybrid media landscape is also emerging through the convergence of different types of media like presentation, social, simulation and synthetic media. This convergence is shifting interactions from prefabricated representations to real-time experiences and simulations, moving away from static content to more embodied and co-created narratives.

This document provides guidance for analyzing media representations of collective identity and key issues in this area. It lists several relevant theorists and theories for understanding identity construction, such as Jacques Lacan's work on the mirror stage and Judith Butler's view of gender as a social performance rather than inherent trait. The document outlines case studies should focus on a specific representation in past or present media, and address how the identity of that group is constructed and the effects on audiences and society. Key questions are provided to guide analysis of how media represents various groups and how representation has changed over time.

The document discusses employee blogging within organizations. It provides statistics on why employees blog, with the top reasons being to publish content, build communities, and promote thought leadership. It also categorizes different types of blogs, such as personal, corporate, and topic-focused blogs. The document then presents a case study of drivers who blog for a Brussels public transport company. It finds the drivers blog to share their daily experiences, connect with colleagues, and express opinions outside of official company statements. Their blogs represent counter-narratives that shape professional and organizational identities.

Ismail Blogtalk 2008
The document discusses the evolution of the internet and social media. It describes how blogs and user-generated content led to the rise of Web 2.0 and user participation on the internet. It also discusses key drivers of value in Web 2.0 like syndication, XML, low latency and great user experiences. Business models on the internet are shifting from request/response to publish/subscribe models.
Colebourne Blogtalk 2008
Matt Colebourne, CEO of coComment Conversation tracking technologies, discusses how social media has become a conversation between various groups including customers, employees, investors, and friends. These conversations are passionate, emotional, engaging, and not controlled by marketing messages. coComment brings together comments from across the web and since February 2007 has over 1 million users and 14 million conversations across 240,000 sites.
Hoem Blogtalk 2008
The document discusses Memoz, a proposed tool for spatial weblogging that allows users to organize and share various types of media content like text, images, videos and maps within a virtual space. It would offer a scalable interface where objects can be freely placed. This is compared to traditional tools that organize information sequentially or by topic. The document argues spatial weblogging could make information more findable by leveraging the human tendency to organize knowledge spatially and in relation to virtual places, similar to memory palaces. Examples of using Memoz to organize content about history, places and other topics are provided.
Noguera Blogtalk 2008
The document analyzes the use of social media, particularly YouTube videos, during the 2008 Spanish election campaign. It tracks conversations around the parties' videos and their spread through blogs. The study finds that while parties are imitating foreign campaigns, they are still focused on traditional mass media. It also finds that influential blogs did not drive online conversations; visibility was more linked to interconnected comment clusters than any single prominent blog. The travel of videos through the blogosphere seemed to depend more on the connections between sites than on rankings of popular blogs.
Mao Blogtalk 2008
OPSN stands for Open Portable Social Network. It allows users to turn their blogs or websites into decentralized social networks with little effort. OPSN maintains each user's contact and profile data separately while allowing for synchronization between endpoints. It uses open standards like OAuth, OpenID, and RSS to authenticate users and share data between sites in a decentralized manner.
Cushman Blog Talk 2008
Reed's Law states that the number of potential subgroups within a network grows exponentially based on the number of participants, according to the formula 2^n - n - 1, where n is the number of participants. The document also discusses Sarnoff's Law, which asserts that a network's value grows linearly with the number of viewers, and Metcalfe's Law, which claims a network's value grows with the square of the number of nodes. The document ponders how these laws impact the demand curve for networks and their long-term growth.

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

Digital Banking in the Cloud: How Citizens Bank Unlocked Their Mainframe
Inconsistent user experience and siloed data, high costs, and changing customer expectations – Citizens Bank was experiencing these challenges while it was attempting to deliver a superior digital banking experience for its clients. Its core banking applications run on the mainframe and Citizens was using legacy utilities to get the critical mainframe data to feed customer-facing channels, like call centers, web, and mobile. Ultimately, this led to higher operating costs (MIPS), delayed response times, and longer time to market.
Ever-changing customer expectations demand more modern digital experiences, and the bank needed to find a solution that could provide real-time data to its customer channels with low latency and operating costs. Join this session to learn how Citizens is leveraging Precisely to replicate mainframe data to its customer channels and deliver on their “modern digital bank” experiences.

Bram Verhoef, Head of Machine Learning at Axelera AI, presents the “How Axelera AI Uses Digital Compute-in-memory to Deliver Fast and Energy-efficient Computer Vision” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
As artificial intelligence inference transitions from cloud environments to edge locations, computer vision applications achieve heightened responsiveness, reliability and privacy. This migration, however, introduces the challenge of operating within the stringent confines of resource constraints typical at the edge, including small form factors, low energy budgets and diminished memory and computational capacities. Axelera AI addresses these challenges through an innovative approach of performing digital computations within memory itself. This technique facilitates the realization of high-performance, energy-efficient and cost-effective computer vision capabilities at the thin and thick edge, extending the frontier of what is achievable with current technologies.
In this presentation, Verhoef unveils his company’s pioneering chip technology and demonstrates its capacity to deliver exceptional frames-per-second performance across a range of standard computer vision networks typical of applications in security, surveillance and the industrial sector. This shows that advanced computer vision can be accessible and efficient, even at the very edge of our technological ecosystem.Skybuffer SAM4U tool for SAP license adoption

Mutation Testing for Task-Oriented Chatbots
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.
