  • Developing Integrated Object-Oriented Conception of Geomarketing As a Tool for Promotion of Regional Sustainable Development: the Case Study of Ukraine
    Developing Integrated Object-Oriented Conception of Geomarketing as a Tool for Promotion of Regional Sustainable Development: The Case Study of Ukraine By Volodymyr M. Anderson RESEARCH PAPER 2004-7 Dr. Volodymyr M. Anderson Fulbright Scholar 2003-2004 US host university: University of Idaho, Department of Geography McClure Hall 203, Moscow, ID 83844-3021, phone: 208-885-6452 E-mail: [email protected] Home university: Odessa I.I.Mechnikov National University, Department of Economic and Social Geography 2, Shampanskyi provulok, 65058, Odessa, Ukraine E-mail: [email protected] Position: Associate Professor, Head of Laboratory of Regional Studies and GIS Abstract: In the paper we propose and discuss new vision of geomarketing as a tool for promotion of regional sustainable development. Integrated object-oriented conception of geomarketing was designed by adoption and elaboration of some new ideas and approaches, such as “place marketing”, “non-profit marketing”, “counter-marketing”, “collaborative spatial decision-making”, “endogenous regional development”, “regional sustainable development”, “public-private partnership”. We explore how geomarketing in such a comprehension may be implemented in business and public administration, regional development policy making on example of some Ukrainian firms, regional governments, and communities. The proposed geomarketing conception is based on integration of three different interpretations of geomarketing: 1) as a traditional marketing tool providing procedures of ‘geosegmentation’ and ‘geopositioning’ in market analysis; 2) as a marketing of places (placemarketing); 3) as a marketing of geographic knowledge and technologies helping to promote sustainable regional development. Such a complex approach foresees systematical empirical study of innovations and changes in these domains with the purpose to develop a general theory of geomarketing as a tool for promotion of sustainable development at local and regional levels.

It is profoundly influenced by a number of impulses from the rapidly changing world. This paper provides a brief survey of challenges for human geography setting them within the context of paradigmatic development and economic, social, cultural, envi- ronmental, political, and technological changes. It briefly focuses on the debates of human geographers what their discipline could or should study in the near future and how it could be done. Part of the paper is devoted to a few reflections of authors from the Visegrad Four countries concentrating attention to further direction of human geography. Human geography is unlikely to be characterised by a mono-paradigm dominance in the next few decades, but a discussion on how to find a common base for the integration of paradigms in ge- ography is likely to continue. Changing hierarchical structures, significant modernization processes, as well as local, regional and global changes influencing space-time behavioural patterns of humans can be expected among the main sources of inspiration for the human geographic research.

  • Media Ecologies: Materialist Energies in Art and Technoculture, Matthew Fuller, 2005 Media Ecologies
    M796883front.qxd 8/1/05 11:15 AM Page 1 Media Ecologies Media Ecologies Materialist Energies in Art and Technoculture Matthew Fuller In Media Ecologies, Matthew Fuller asks what happens when media systems interact. Complex objects such as media systems—understood here as processes, or ele- ments in a composition as much as “things”—have become informational as much as physical, but without losing any of their fundamental materiality. Fuller looks at this multi- plicitous materiality—how it can be sensed, made use of, and how it makes other possibilities tangible. He investi- gates the ways the different qualities in media systems can be said to mix and interrelate, and, as he writes, “to produce patterns, dangers, and potentials.” Fuller draws on texts by Félix Guattari and Gilles Deleuze, as well as writings by Friedrich Nietzsche, Marshall McLuhan, Donna Haraway, Friedrich Kittler, and others, to define and extend the idea of “media ecology.” Arguing that the only way to find out about what happens new media/technology when media systems interact is to carry out such interac- tions, Fuller traces a series of media ecologies—“taking every path in a labyrinth simultaneously,” as he describes one chapter. He looks at contemporary London-based pirate radio and its interweaving of high- and low-tech “Media Ecologies offers an exciting first map of the mutational body of media systems; the “medial will to power” illustrated by analog and digital media technologies. Fuller rethinks the generation and “the camera that ate itself”; how, as seen in a range of interaction of media by connecting the ethical and aesthetic dimensions compelling interpretations of new media works, the capac- of perception.” ities and behaviors of media objects are affected when —Luciana Parisi, Leader, MA Program in Cybernetic Culture, University of they are in “abnormal” relationships with other objects; East London and each step in a sequence of Web pages, Cctv—world wide watch, that encourages viewers to report crimes seen Media Ecologies via webcams.

  • The Möbius Strip of Market Spatiality: Mobilizing Transdisciplinary Dialogues Between CCT and the Marketing Mainstream
    The Möbius strip of market spatiality: mobilizing transdisciplinary dialogues between CCT and the marketing mainstream Item Type article Authors Coffin, Jack; email: [email protected]; Chatzidakis, Andreas Citation AMS Review, volume 11, issue 1-2, page 40-59 Publisher Springer US Rights Licence for this article: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/ by/4.0/ Download date 01/10/2021 23:36:29 Link to Item http://hdl.handle.net/10034/625146 AMS Review (2021) 11:40–59 https://doi.org/10.1007/s13162-020-00191-8 THEORY/CONCEPTUAL The Möbius strip of market spatiality: mobilizing transdisciplinary dialogues between CCT and the marketing mainstream Jack Cofn1 · Andreas Chatzidakis2 Received: 17 February 2020 / Accepted: 25 November 2020 / Published online: 25 January 2021 © The Author(s) 2021 Abstract This paper develops the Möbius strip as an ‘ordering theory’ (Sandberg and Alvesson, 2020) that brings CCT studies into dialogue with mainstream marketing approaches. The aim is to work toward a transdisciplinary understanding of market spatiality, a topic that has become increasingly important for theorists and practitioners (Warnaby and Medway, 2013; Castilhos et al., 2016; Chatzidakis et al., 2018). Building on psychosocial interpretations of the Möbius strip as a ‘tactical’ way of thinking, a range of insights and ideas are organized along a single strip of theorization. This paper maps a continuous plane of logic between the concepts of space, place, emplacement, spatiality, implacement, and displacement. The potential applications of the Möbius strip are then demonstrated by showing how the transdisciplinary topic of ‘atmosphere’ can be theorized from multiple perspectives. The paper concludes by exploring how the Möbius strip might also be employed in other areas of marketing theory and practice, potentially generating further transdisciplinary conversations between CCT and the marketing mainstream.

  • An Exploration of People's Use of Locative Media and The
    Claiming Places: An Exploration of People’s Use of Locative Media and the Relationship to Sense of Place by Glen E. Farrelly A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Information University of Toronto © Copyright by Glen E. Farrelly 2017 Claiming Places: An Exploration of People’s Use of Locative Media and the Relationship to Sense of Place Glen E. Farrelly Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Information University of Toronto 2017 Abstract This dissertation explores the role of locative media in people’s place-making activities and sense of place. Sense of place is a human need that entails people’s meanings, memories, and feelings for a location. Recent technological and market developments have introduced powerful geographic information tools and place-related media. By identifying a user’s location, locative media deliver geographically relevant content that enable people to capture and preserve place information, virtually append it to space, and broadcast it to others. Despite locative media’s growing prominence, the influence on sense of place is not well understood. A major finding of this research is that use of locative media can contribute meaningfully to a person’s positive sense of place, including fostering existential connection. This study refutes scholarly and popular dismissals of the medium as only detracting from sense of place. Locative media was found to enable people to make spaces their own by offering geographic relevant information and experiences, recording and sharing place-related impressions, and presenting places in new and enjoyable ways, such as through defamiliarization and decommodification.

  • Creating Continuity Between Computer Art History and Contemporary Art
    CAT 2010 London Conference ~ 3rd February Bruce Wands _____________________________________________________________________ CREATING CONTINUITY BETWEEN COMPUTER ART HISTORY AND CONTEMPORARY ART Bruce Wands Chair, MFA Computer Art Director of Computer Education Director, New York Digital Salon School of Visual Arts 209 East 23 Street New York, NY 10010 USA [email protected] www.mfaca.sva.edu www.nydigitalsalon.org Computer art was started by a small group of pioneering artists who had the vision to see what digital tools and technology could bring to the creative process. The technology at the time was primitive, compared to what we have today, and these artists faced resistance from the traditional art establishment. Several organizations, such as the New York Digital Salon, were started to promote digital creativity through exhibitions, publications and websites. This paper will explore how to create continuity between computer art history and a new generation of artists that does not see making art with computers as unusual and views it as contemporary art. INTRODUCTION The origins of computer art trace back over fifty years as artists began to experiment and create artwork with new technologies. Even before computers were invented, photography, radio, film and television opened up new creative territories. Many people point to the photographs of abstract images taken of an oscilloscope screen that Ben Laposky called Oscillons as some of the first electronic art images, which foreshadowed the development of computer art. While the system he used was essentially analog, the way in which the images were created was through mathematics and electronic circuitry.
