Multiple Voices in Academic and Professional Discourse
Author: Sergio Maruenda BatallerPublisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
ISBN: 1443831115
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 700
Book Description
The demands of today’s society for greater specialization have brought about a profound transformation in the humanities, which are not immune to the competitive pressure to meet new challenges that are present in other sectors. Thus, lecturers and researchers in modern languages and applied linguistics departments have made great efforts to design syllabi and materials more attuned to the competences and requirements of potential working environments. At the same time, linguists have attempted to apply their expertise in wider areas, creating research institutes that focus on applying language and linguistics in different contexts and offering linguistic services to society as a whole. This book attempts to provide a global view of the multiple voices involved in interdisciplinary research and innovative proposals in teaching specialized languages while offering contributions that attempt to fill the demands of a varied scope of disciplines such as the sciences, professions, or educational settings. The chapters in this book are made up of current research on these themes: discourse analysis in academic and professional genres, specialized translation, lexicology and terminology, and ICT research and teaching of specialized languages.
De Orwell al cibercontrol
Author: Armand Mattelart y André VitalisPublisher: Editorial GEDISA
ISBN: 8497848853
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 181
Book Description
Las recientes revelaciones sobre las prácticas ilegales de la Agencia Americana de Seguridad (NSA), o el descubrimiento por parte de un usuario del rastreo digital masivo realizado por Facebook testimonian la magnitud de la hipervigilancia a la que estamos sometidos. Sin embargo, lejos del modelo disciplinario tradicional sobre el que alertaba George Orwell en su Gran Hermano, ahora los controles se ejercen desde múltiples y sofisticados frentes, en los que cada vez es mayor la participación involuntaria de los ciudadanos. Armand Mattelart y André Vitalis nos proponen reflexionar sobre un novedoso e inquietante concepto: el perfilado, esto es, el control indirecto de los individuos —a menudo con el propósito de anticipar sus comportamientos— a través del estudio y explotación sistemáticos de sus datos —ya sean sus desplazamientos o sus pautas de consumo—. Mientras que el modelo de vigilancia totalitario exhibía su control, en el mundo post-orwelliano éste se nos impone sin plena conciencia por nuestra parte; es invisible, y esta invisibilidad, potenciada por la desmaterialización de los soportes, garantiza su efectividad en una población crecientemente fascinada por las nuevas tecnologías que, sin embargo, no perciben como tecnologías de control.

Networks of Innovation
Author: Ilkka TuomiPublisher: OUP Oxford
ISBN: 0191555177
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 264
Book Description
Innovations are adopted when users integrate them in meaningful ways into existing social practices. Histories of major technological innovations show that often the creative initiative of users and user communities becomes the determining factor in the evolution of particular innovations. The evolutionary routes of the telephone, the Internet, the World Wide Web, email, and the Linux operating system all took their developers by surprise. Articulation of these technologies as meaningful products and systems was made possible by innovative users and unintended resources. Iterative and interactive models have replaced the traditional linear model of innovation during the last decade. Yet, heroic innovators and entrepreneurs, unambiguous functionality of products, and a focus on the up-stream aspects of innovation still underlie much discussion on innovation, intellectual property rights, technology policy, and product development. Coherent conceptual, theoretical and practical conclusions from research on knowledge creation, theory of learning, history of technology, and the social basis of innovative change have rarely been made. This book argues that innovation is about creating meaning; that it is inherently social; and is grounded in existing social practices. To understand the social basis of innovation and technology development we have to move beyond the traditional product-centric view on innovations. Integrating concepts from several disciplinary perspectives and detailed analyses of the evolution of Internet-related innovations, including packet-switched computer networks, World Wide Web, and the Linux open source operating system, the book develops foundations for a new theoretical and practical understanding of innovation. For example, it shows that innovative development can occur in two qualitatively different ways, one based on evolving specialization and the other based on recombination of existing socially produced resources. The expanding communication and collaboration networks have increased the importance of the recombinatory mode making mobility of resources, sociotechnical translation mechanisms, and meaning creation in communities of practice increasingly important for innovation research and product development.

Children and Their Changing Media Environment
Author: Sonia LivingstonePublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1135661316
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 398
Book Description
Focusing on the meanings, uses, and impacts of new media in childhood, family life, peer culture, and the relation between home and school, this volume sets out to address many of the questions, fears, and hopes regarding the changing place of media in the lives of today's children and young people. The scholars contributing to this work argue that such questions--intellectual, empirical, and policy-related--can be productively addressed through cross-national research. Hence, this volume brings together researchers from 12 countries--Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, Israel, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland--to present original and comprehensive findings regarding the diffusion and significance of new media and information technologies among children. Inspired by parallels and difference between the arrival of television in the family home during the 1950s and the present day arrival of new media, the research is based on in-depth interviews and a detailed comparative survey of 6- to 16-year-olds across Europe and in Israel. The result is a comprehensive, detailed, and fascinating account of how these technologies are rapidly becoming central to the daily lives of young people. As a resource for researchers and students in media and communication studies, leisure and cultural studies, social psychology, and related areas, this volume provides crucial insights into the role of media in the lives of children. The findings included herein will also be of interest to policymakers in broadcasting, technology, and education throughout the world.
