That she finds this potential in the very heart of digitality is one of the many surprises of this thoughtful and wide-ranging book.” Saskia Sassen, Columbia University and author of Expulsions: Brutality and Complexity in the Global Economy: Robert S. Lynd Professor of Sociology, Columbia University Co- Chair Committee on Global Thought, Columbia University “This is a brilliant navigation of worlds that are not usually brought in conversation: digital space and thick situated struggles engaged in claim-making in the urban sphere. Payal Arora has deep knowledge and experience of both these worlds. Out of this encounter comes a concept the author deploys in diverse ways to mark digital space: the leisure commons.” Zizi Papacharissi, Professor and Head of Communications, University of Illinois at Chicago “In this engaging volume, Arora applies the rich metaphor of the public park to explicate the many ways in which net-based technologies facilitate, but also converge activities of a social, political, cultural and economic nature. Technology as architecture invites, amplifies, but also conceals or discourages. It disrupts and it sustains our daily endeavors into sociality, work, play and fantasy. Arora uses the metaphor of public parks to tell the story of how digital media support us through our daily lives. Through lively writing and layers of intriguing analogies, she compels the reader to think with her, as she explores what technology does to space. Arora lays out an intriguing vision of online environments as technology supported meta-parks that facilitate not just limitless connection, but, better living.” Paul C. Adams, Associate Professor of Geography and Director of Urban Studies, University of Texas at Austin “Payal Arora offers the insight that social media are the latest chapter in a long history of spaces including city parks, walled gardens, office parks, fantasy theme parks and other semi-public, leisure-oriented environments. By framing new technological trends in terms of a “leisure commons,” her work fills a gap that remained between the spatial metaphors that have proven helpful to make sense of new technologies, and a nuanced realization of how thoroughly leisure practices have permeated daily life.” PREFACE The idea for this book emerged way back during my doctoral years in 2005. While strolling through Riverside Park in New York City, it came to me how seemingly unregulated a park space seemed to be and yet, people organized themselves within these leisure terrains in a myriad of ways. True to a typical doctoral student, I deviated from my doctoral thesis by writing a paper on ‘Online social sites as virtual parks: An investigation into leisure online and offline’ (this was later published in the Information Society Journal). I presented this as part of a panel on space/place with Katalin Kabat-Ryan, Aaron Chia Yuan Hung, Maureen Matarese and Jennifer Bloom for the American Education Research Association Conference in 2006. I found that by drawing parallels between the space of Web 2.0 and urban parks, it inspired friends, family and colleagues to participate in this discussion. Through the disarming metaphor of public parks, it made the web familiar to those who were not traditionally inclined to talk about new media. Before I knew it, I was engaging in conversations on how the Speakers Corner in Hyde Park resembled online protest space, how it was not a coincidence that ‘walled gardens’ is used as a metaphor for the privatization of the web and that amusement parks had much in common with implicit branding within digital gaming sites. I was encouraged through challenging conversations with Todd Gitlin and Robert McClintock from Columbia University, pushing me to situate these playful ideas on virtual parks through a more rigorous academic approach. My discussion with Arjun Appadurai opened up further parallels of equating the flâneur to the digital user as she browses leisurely through the web. In fact, I am particularly grateful to Professor Appadurai for his sustained mentorship and support over the years as I embarked on taking this topic seriously and plunged into the writing of this book. In 2012, I was fortunate to have received a generous grant for this book project through the Erasmus University Rotterdam Fellowship in the amount of 135,000 euros. I am thankful to Filip Vermeylen for his thoughtful feedback in the writing of this grant. This grant has allowed me to immerse myself in this topic wholeheartedly and participate in conferences across disciplines, for which I will always be grateful. I found that to realize this parallel, I needed to delve into unfamiliar disciplines such as geography, history and law. While indeed daunting to get out of the familiar terrain of communication studies, it has been exciting to encounter rich conversations in multiple fields, reinforcing interdisciplinary studies as a must for innovative thinking. Over the last three years, I have presented on this subject at twenty conferences across disciplines including at the American Sociological Association, European Sociological Association, International Communication Association, Society for Social Studies of Science, Amsterdam Privacy Conference, IIS World Congress, International Association for Media and Communication Research, and the Technology, Knowledge and Society Conference. I am deeply indebted to the numerous reviewers and audiences at these conferences for their feedback and thought-provoking comments and suggestions. It has been heartening to see this project gain traction over the years. This has manifested in invitations to speak at various prestigious events including the Frontiers of New Media Symposium at the University of Utah, the Labor, Knowledge and Leisure in Postindustrial Society conference in Moscow and, the NSF and Cornell University sponsored symposium on Rethinking the Culture of Busyness and IT in Seattle. These opportunities have undoubtedly enriched my argument. By now, it is evident that all intellectual endeavors are deeply contingent on a nurturing professional and personal environment. This book is no different. I find myself fortunate to have an extremely supportive department chair and role model – Susanne Janssen. She has time and again gone out of her way to enable me in this journey. The faculty and the university at large have been deeply accommodating to my needs and interests and has undoubtedly made this pursuit easier for me. Yahya Kamalipour has been a wonderful support in this project and in general has been there for me over the years as a mentor and a friend. Saskia Sassen, Julie Cohen, Helen Nissenbaum, Paul Adams, Zizi Papacharissi, Lori Kendall, Martin Dodge, Dan Hunter, Jonathan Taylor, and Manual Castells among others have been truly inspirational in the writing of this book. It needs to be noted that without the strong editorial support of Janelle Ward who was the first to read the entire text and edit it closely, this would have been a weaker manuscript. I am fortunate that as an editor and close friend, she has given the text a stronger backbone and rigor. In this line, I am thankful to the Routledge editor Max Novick for his prompt responses to my ongoing queries through these three years and for his overall professionalism in this process. Additionally, I am thankful to my research assistant Jessica Verboom, a true asset to any academic engaged in such a scholarly pursuit.

INTRODUCTION TO THE ORIGINAL VERSION 1 What Grove printed under ‘Gay and Lesbian Music’ was not entirely what we intended, from the title on. Since we were allotted only two 2500 words and wrote almost five times as much, we inevitably expected cuts. These came not as we feared in the more theoretical sections, but in certain other tar- geted areas: names, popular music, and the role of women. Though some living musicians were allowed in, all those thought to be uncomfortable about their sexual orientation’s being known were excised, beginning with Boulez.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find ja good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

  • 2011-2012 Wisconsin Blue Book: Statistics
    STATISTICS: HISTORY 679 HIGHLIGHTS OF HISTORY IN WISCONSIN History — On May 29, 1848, Wisconsin became the 30th state in the Union, but the state’s written history dates back more than 300 years to the time when the French first encountered the diverse Native Americans who lived here. In 1634, the French explorer Jean Nicolet landed at Green Bay, reportedly becoming the first European to visit Wisconsin. The French ceded the area to Great Britain in 1763, and it became part of the United States in 1783. First organized under the Northwest Ordinance, the area was part of various territories until creation of the Wisconsin Territory in 1836. Since statehood, Wisconsin has been a wheat farming area, a lumbering frontier, and a preeminent dairy state. Tourism has grown in importance, and industry has concentrated in the eastern and southeastern part of the state. Politically, the state has enjoyed a reputation for honest, efficient government. It is known as the birthplace of the Republican Party and the home of Robert M. La Follette, Sr., founder of the progressive movement. Political Balance — After being primarily a one-party state for most of its existence, with the Republican and Progressive Parties dominating during portions of the state’s first century, Wisconsin has become a politically competitive state in recent decades. The Republicans gained majority control in both houses in the 1995 Legislature, an advantage they last held during the 1969 session. Since then, control of the senate has changed several times. In 2009, the Democrats gained control of both houses for the first time since 1993; both houses returned to Republican control in 2011.

  • Lgbtq Slang and Its Evolution Over Time. a Censored Outcast in Subtitling?
    LGBTQ SLANG AND ITS EVOLUTION OVER TIME. A CENSORED OUTCAST IN SUBTITLING? La jerga LGBTQ y su evolución a lo largo del tiempo. ¿Un marginado cen- surado en la subtitulación? Mª Victoria MESONERO UNED [email protected] ABSTRACT: Lavender lexicon is not a widely concept in the academic world. In order to contribute to this, the present work analyses gay jargon as a specialized language due to its secrecy and purpose. Having its roots in Polari, we have illustrated the development of the gay language by considering popular series from the 90s until 2018: Sex and the city, Queer as folk, RuPaul’s Drag Race and Pose. Most modern series’ subtitles showed as few cases of censorship as in Austin Powers’ trilogy, where the heterosexual slang prevails. However, it did not happen the same the previous years. It has also been exaggerated in some cases, something that affects the LGBTQ community negatively. Apart from of- fering a view of the concept of subtitling, we also defined the translation techniques needed when dealing with taboo and swear words and how the offensive load can be transferred. Keywords: gay; slang; audio-visual; subtitling; censorship; Polari. 1. COMING OUT THE CLOSET: GAY SLANG Nowadays, gay slang or language of the closet seems to be one of the greatest outcasts in the aca- demic world, particularly in disciplines as Philology or Translation Studies. Rodriguez González (2010, 3) remarked that “lots of publications addressed the gay issue from different fields as Psychology, Soci- ology, Literature, Religion… Nevertheless, there is not any detailed study/register about its lexicon”.
