Democracy Hacked: How Technology is Destabilising Global Politics
by Martin MooreTechnology has fractured democracy, and now there&’s no going back. All around the world, the fringes have stormed the palace of the elites and unleashed data miners, dark ads and bots on an unwitting public. After years of soundbites about connecting people, the social media giants are only just beginning to admit to the scale of the problem. We stand on the precipice of an era where switching your mobile platform will have more impact on your life than switching your government. Where freedom and privacy are seen as incompatible with social well-being and transparency. Where your attention is sold to the highest bidder. Our laws don&’t cover what is happening and our politicians don&’t understand it. But if we don&’t fight to change the system now, we may not get another chance.

Design Thinking Research: Looking Further: Design Thinking Beyond Solution-Fixation (Understanding Innovation)
by Christoph Meinel Larry LeiferExtensive research conducted by the Hasso Plattner Design Thinking Research Program at Stanford University in Palo Alto, California, USA, and the Hasso Plattner Institute in Potsdam, Germany, has yielded valuable insights on why and how design thinking works. Researchers have identified metrics, developed models, and conducted studies, which are featured in this book, and in the previous volumes of this series.Offering readers a closer look at design thinking, and its innovation processes and methods, this volume covers topics ranging from understanding success factors of design thinking to exploring the potential that lies in the use of digital technologies. Furthermore, readers learn how special-purpose design thinking can be used to solve thorny problems in complex fields, such as the health sector or software development.Thinking and devising innovations are inherently human activities – so is design thinking. Accordingly, design thinking is not merely the result of special courses or of being gifted or trained: it is a way of dealing with our environment and improving techniques, technologies and life. As such, the research outcomes compiled in this book should increase knowledge and provide inspiration to all seeking to drive innovation – be they experienced design thinkers or newcomers.
Designing, Conducting, and Publishing Quality Research in Mathematics Education (Research in Mathematics Education)
by Keith R. LeathamThe purpose of this book is to collect, organize and disseminate collective wisdom with respect to designing, conducting, and publishing quality research in mathematics education. This wisdom will be gleaned from among those who, over the past several decades, have been instrumental in guiding the field in the pursuit of excellence in mathematics education research—insightful editors, educative reviewers, prolific writers, and caring mentors. Each chapter is written to the novice researcher with the intent of aiding them in avoiding common pitfalls, navigating difficult intellectual terrain, and understanding that they are not alone in experiencing rejection, frustration, confusion, and doubt. This book differs from existing literature in the sense that it is written about the enterprise of designing, conducting and publishing research in mathematics education as opposed to being reports of the results of such work. It also differs in the sense that it is written with the intent to mentor the rising generation as opposed to capture the state of the field (as would happen in a handbook, for example). It is written for the express purpose of helping the field work collectively to aid in the often isolated enterprise of mentoring new researchers. The primary audience is a potentially wide one: graduate students, novice researchers, graduate faculty, advisors, and mentors – or anyone seeking to improve their own abilities to design, conduct, and publish quality research in mathematics education.

Dewey for a New Age of Fascism: Teaching Democratic Habits (Rhetoric and Democratic Deliberation #22)
by Nathan CrickDuring the rise of fascism in the early twentieth century, American philosopher and educational reformer John Dewey argued that the greatest threat to democracy was not a political regime or even an aggressive foreign power but rather a set of dispositions or attitudes. Though not fascist in and of themselves, these habits of thought—rugged individualism and ideological nationalism—lay the foundation for fascism. In this study, Nathan Crick uses Dewey’s social thought and philosophy of education to provide insight into and resources for transforming our present-day politics.Through a close reading of Dewey’s political writings and educational theory, Crick elaborates Dewey’s vision of democratic social life and the education required for its foundation. He shows that for Dewey, communication is essential to cultivating sympathy, intelligence, and creativity—habits of thought that form the core of democratic culture. Crick then lays out a broad curriculum of logic, aesthetics, and rhetoric for inculcating these habits in the classroom, arguing that if we are to meet the challenge of fascism, we must teach these new arts as if our civilization depends on it—because in our new age of politics, it does.Comprehensive and pragmatic, this book presents an experimental model of education that can be applied across the humanities curriculum. It will be of interest to teachers of writing, composition, and rhetoric as well as scholars and students of communication studies, pedagogy, and political theory.

Dialogroboter: Wie Bots und künstliche Intelligenz Medien und Massenkommunikation verändern
by Armin SieberTechnologien wie künstliche Intelligenz und Natural Language Programming werden zu Auslösern der sogenannten „Dialogwende“. Darunter versteht dieses Buch die massenweise Verbreitung von autonom sprechenden Sprachdialogsystemen und automatischen Sprachassistenten. Der Autor geht der Frage nach, welche Technologien bereits zur Verfügung stehen oder bald zur Serienreife kommen. Er analysiert konkrete Verwendungen und Einsatzfelder von Bots und stellt sich die Frage, was bei der Planung und Konzeption bedacht werden muss, welche Veränderungen in Medien und Unternehmenskommunikation zu erwarten sind. Das Buch beleuchtet darüber hinaus auch die psychosozialen Folgen, die auf unsere Gesellschaft zukommen, wenn Sprachdialogsysteme in großer Zahl zum Einsatz kommen.
Dialogue Writing for Dubbing: An Insider's Perspective
by Giselle Spiteri MiggianiThis book analyses an important phase in the interlingual dubbing process of audiovisual productions: the elaboration of target language scripts for the recording studios. Written by a practitioner in the industry who is also an academic and trainer, it provides practical know-how and guidelines while adopting a scholarly, structural and methodical approach. Supported by an exemplified, analytical and theoretical framework, it is non-language specific and discusses strategies and tricks of the trade. Divided into three parts, the book provides a descriptive, practical and analytical approach to dubbing and dialogue writing. The author analyses scripts drawn from her own professional practice, including initial drafts that illustrate the various transformations of a text throughout the rewriting process. She also offers a ‘backstage’ perspective, from first-hand experience in recording sessions that enabled knowledge of text manipulation, studio jargon, and the dubbing post production process. This publication will provide a valuable resource for novice dubbing translators and dialogue writers, while offering practitioner insights to scholars and researchers in the field of Audiovisual Translation, Film and Media Studies.
Dialogues on the Theory and Practice of Literary Translation (China Perspectives)
by Xu JunThe book is a collection of the dialogues between Xu Jun, a well-known expert in French literary translation and eminent “Changjiang” scholar in translation studies in China, and some celebrated literary translators in contemporary China, some of whom are also literary scholars, linguists, poets, prose writers, and editors. It is a fundamental achievement of research on the literary translation in the 20th century in China, involving multiple literary types, such as novels, poetry, dramas, prose, and fairy tales; and multiple languages, such as English, French, German, Russian, Italian, Spanish, Japanese, and Sanskrit. The dialogues are centered on fundamental issues in the theory and practice of literary translation, such as re-creation in literary translation, the relationship between form and content in literary translation, the subjectivity of literary translators, literary translation standards and principles, the gains and losses in literary translation, the principles and methods of literary criticism, and so on. Those translation experts’ experience and multiple strategies not only play an active role in guiding literary translators in practice but also benefit theoretical development in literary translation. Thus, the book will contribute to worldwide translation studies and get well recognized by translation studies students, teachers, and scholars in the world.

La dictadura de los datos: La verdadera historia desde dentro de Cambridge Analytica y cómo el Big Data, Trump y Facebook corrompieron la democracia, y cómo puede volver a pasar
by Brittany KaiserBrittany Kaiser, una ex directiva de Cambridge Analytica, la empresa que se dedicó durante años a manipular procesos electorales en numerosos países del mundo, cuenta cómo fue que Facebook y las transnacionales de internet torcieron el proceso electoral en el que Donald Trump ganó la Presidencia de Estados Unidos.Ella revela cómo las políticas laxas de Facebook y la falta de leyes nacionales permitieron que los votantes fueran manipulados tanto en Gran Bretaña como en los Estados Unidos, donde se adjudicaron datos personales para difundir noticias falsas y mensajes racistas durante la votación del Brexit y la elección estadunidense de 2016. Pero el daño no ha terminado, advierte Kaiser. La elección de 2020 también puede verse comprometida.Kaiser tomó la difícil decisión de exponer la verdad arriesgando su carrera, sus relaciones y su seguridad personal. Habló a las autoridades sobre las prácticas comerciales poco éticas de la industria de los datos, y finalmente testificó ante el Congreso de los Estados Unidos, ayudando a la investigación del abogado Robert Mueller sobre la interferencia de Rusia en las elecciones de 2016, junto con al menos otras 10 investigaciones internacionales.Repleto de historias e ideas nunca antes contadas públicamente, Kaiser aboga por la regulación, argumentando que la supervisión legal de la industria de los datos no solo es justificable, sino esencial para garantizar la seguridad a largo plazo de nuestra democracia.
Die Maschine: Mensch und Technologie im digitalen Zeitalter
by Caja Thimm Thomas Christian BächleDie Maschine – Freund oder Feind? Selbstverständlich folgt darauf keine eindeutige Antwort, denn in den bekannten Deutungen des Verhältnisses zwischen den Maschinen und den Menschen findet sich immer beides. Spätestens mit der industriellen Revolution ist die Maschine zum Objekt sehr ambivalenter Bewertungen geworden. Sie symbolisiert Fortschritt und Erlösung und gilt doch zugleich als Ursache und Antreiber gesellschaftlicher Konflikte. Eine ähnliche Ambivalenz ist auch heute zu beobachten: Die Angst vor der Maschine ist nicht nur mit Themen wie dem Verschwinden der Arbeit verbunden, sondern mit dystopischen Vorstellungen vom vollständigen Untergang der Menschheit: Künstliche Intelligenz beherrscht menschliches Denken und Handeln, die Manipulationsmacht durch digitale Großkonzerne führt zu einem „Feudalismus 2.0“. Gerade weil die Angst vor den Maschinen und ihren sozialen und politischen Auswirkungen als Topos aus dem größeren Kontext des Mensch-Technik-Verhältnisses bekannt ist, kommt der mit diesem Band verfolgten Aktualisierung dieser Debatte ein wichtiger Stellenwert zu.Der InhaltDie Maschine: Metapher, Mythos, Objekt ● Der Mensch als „Gehirnmaschine“ ● Die schöne neue Cyborg-Welt im japanischen Anime ● Autonome Systeme, Roboter und ethische Implikationen ● Digitaler Feudalismus ● Computer gegen Arbeiter: Digitale Technologien und das Verschwinden der Arbeit ● „Hochinvasive Überwachung“ ● Autonome Waffensysteme und die Imagination menschlicher Kontrolle ● Internetsucht ● Die Digitalisierung menschlicher ReproduktionDie HerausgeberDr. Caja Thimm ist Professorin für Medienwissenschaft und Intermedialität in der Abteilung Medienwissenschaft des Instituts für Sprach-, Medien- und Musikwissenschaft der Universität Bonn.Dr. Thomas Christian Bächle ist Medienwissenschaftler und leitet am Alexander von Humboldt Institut für Internet und Gesellschaft (HIIG) in Berlin das Forschungsprogramm „Die Entwicklung der digitalen Gesellschaft“.

Digital Authorship: Publishing in the Attention Economy (Elements in Publishing and Book Culture)
by R. Lyle SkainsThis Element looks at contemporary authorship via three key authorial roles: indie publisher, hybrid author, and fanfiction writer. The twenty-first century's digital and networked media allows writers to disintermediate the established structures of royalty publishing, and to distribute their work directly to - and often in collaboration with - their readers. This demotic author, one who is 'of the people', often works in genres considered 'popular' or 'derivative'. The demotic author eschews the top-down communication flow of author > text > reader, in favor of publishing platforms that generate attention capital, such as blogs, fanfiction communities, and social media.
Digital Discussions: How Big Data Informs Political Communication (New Agendas in Communication Series)
by Natalie Jomini Stroud Shannon McGregorBig data raise major research possibilities for political communication scholars who are interested in how citizens, elites, and journalists interact. With the availability of social media data, academics can observe, on a large scale, how people talk about politics. The opportunity to study political discussions is also available to media organizations and political elites—examining how they make use of big data represents another fruitful scholarly trajectory. The scholars involved in Digital Discussions represent forward thinkers who aim to inform the study of political communication by analyzing the behavior of and messages left by citizens, elites, and journalists in digital spaces. By using a variety of methodological approaches and bringing together diverse theoretical perspectives, this group sheds light on how big data can inform political communication research. It is critical reading for those studying and working in communication studies with a focus on big data.

Through discussions of rhetorical theory, case studies and examples, research methods and methodologies, and pedagogical approaches and practical applications, this collection will further digital rhetoric scholars’ inquiry into digital ethics and writing instructors’ approaches to teaching ethics in the current technological moment. A key contribution to the literature on ethical practices in digital spaces, this book will be of interest to researchers and teachers in the fields of digital rhetoric, composition, and writing studies.
Digital Renaissance: What Data and Economics Tell Us about the Future of Popular Culture
by Joel WaldfogelHow digital technology is upending the traditional creative industries—and why that might be a good thingThe digital revolution poses a mortal threat to the major creative industries—music, publishing, television, and the movies. The ease with which digital files can be copied and distributed has unleashed a wave of piracy with disastrous effects on revenue. Cheap, easy self-publishing is eroding the position of these gatekeepers and guardians of culture. Does this revolution herald the collapse of culture, as some commentators claim? Far from it. In Digital Renaissance, Joel Waldfogel argues that digital technology is enabling a new golden age of popular culture, a veritable digital renaissance.By reducing the costs of production, distribution, and promotion, digital technology is democratizing access to the cultural marketplace. More books, songs, television shows, and movies are being produced than ever before. Nor does this mean a tidal wave of derivative, poorly produced kitsch; analyzing decades of production and sales data, as well as bestseller and best-of lists, Waldfogel finds that the new digital model is just as successful at producing high-quality, successful work as the old industry model, and in many cases more so. The vaunted gatekeeper role of the creative industries proves to have been largely mythical. The high costs of production have stifled creativity in industries that require ever-bigger blockbusters to cover the losses on ever-more-expensive failures.Are we drowning in a tide of cultural silt, or living in a golden age for culture? The answers in Digital Renaissance may surprise you.

Digitally Assisted, Fully Integrated, Wideband Transmitters for High-Speed Millimeter-Wave Wireless Communication Links (Analog Circuits and Signal Processing)
by David Del Rio Ainhoa Rezola Juan F. Sevillano Igone Velez Roc BerenguerThis book presents design methods and considerations for digitally-assisted wideband millimeter-wave transmitters. It addresses comprehensively both RF design and digital implementation simultaneously, in order to design energy- and cost-efficient high-performance transmitters for mm-wave high-speed communications. It covers the complete design flow, from link budget assessment to the transistor-level design of different RF front-end blocks, such as mixers and power amplifiers, presenting different alternatives and discussing the existing trade-offs. The authors also analyze the effect of the imperfections of these blocks in the overall performance, while describing techniques to correct and compensate for them digitally. Well-known techniques are revisited, and some new ones are described, giving examples of their applications and proving them in real integrated circuits.
