This study examines the discursive interpretations of cultural heritage practitioners and participations from the Getty Research Institute, the Prelinger Archive and Library, and the Willamette HerItage Center to better understand how multimodal platforms are being used, how this use is changing the roles of the heritage practitioners and participants in the construction of meaning, and what types of multimodal memory practices are emerging. This research also underscores a reassessment of what constitutes heritage artifacts, authenticity, curatorial authority, and multimodal participation in digital cultural heritage. My methodological approach for this research takes a multilateral form of data collection, including in-depth interviewing, participant observations, and thematiC iv analysis, informed by the theoretical frameworks of collective memory, remediation, and gatekeeping and unified by the social theories of art practice, social constructionism, symbolic interactionism, and actor-network theory. My prImary recommendation from thIs research is that our dIgital practices of contributing, appropriating, repurposing, and sharing digital content represent new forms of memory practIce in a multimodal context. I propose that these multimodal memory practices of interacting with digital content using different devices across different networks coalesce into platformed communities of memory, where communities are shaped and collective memory is shared by our interaction through social networks. I suggest that we need to think of social media output and metadata as being new forms of cultural heritage artifacts and legitimate soCIal records. I also contend that metadata analysis presents new considerations and opportunities for studying the memory of digital content and institutional memory. It is my hope that these conclusions clarify our contemporary memory practices in the digital era so that we can better understand whose voices will be most prominent in the future articulation of how we remember the past. v CURRICULUM VITAE NAME OF AUTHOR: Brant Burkey GRADUATE AND UNDERGRADUATE SCHOOLS ATTENDED: University of Oregon, Eugene Sonoma State UnIversIty, Rohnert Park, California California State University, Long Beach DEGREES AWARDED: Doctor of Philosophy, MedIa StudIes, 2014, University of Oregon Master of ScIence, CommunICatIon StudIes, 1997, UnIversIty of Oregon BaChelor of Arts, CommunICatIons, 1993, Sonoma State UnIversIty AREAS OF SPECIAL INTEREST: EmergIng MedIa, Digital Cultural Production, and Networked Social Interaction MedIa-Memory DIsCourse and PraCtICe MedIa LIteraCy, MedIa CrItICIsm, Media History, and Media Ethics PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE: Graduate Teaching Fellowship (Instructor of Record, Lab Coordinator, Teaching AssIstant), SChool of JournalIsm & CommunICatIon, UnIversIty of Oregon, 2010-2014 AdjunCt InstruCtor, Department of JournalIsm, CalIfornIa State UnIversIty, Long Beach, 2008-2010 SoCIal SCIenCes TeaCher/JournalIsm AdvIser, John Glenn HIgh SChool, 2003- 2010 Substitute Teacher, Norwalk-La Mirada Unified School District, 2002-2003 AssoCIate EdItor, Ballard & TIghe Publishing, 2001-2002 Senior Reporter, Crittenden Publishing, 1998-2001 Calendar Editor/Reporter, Marin Independent Journal, 1994-1995 Staff Writer/Reviewer, The Public Reviewer Magazine, 1993-1994 vi GRANTS, AWARDS, AND HONORS: Graduate Teaching FellowshIp, SChool of JournalIsm & CommunICatIon, University of Oregon, 2010-2014 ColumbIa SCholarshIp, SChool of JournalIsm & CommunICatIon, UnIversIty of Oregon, 2013 Juried paper accepted, Constructing the Net: How Cable News Coverage Articulates Meaning for the Net Neutrality Debate, International CommunICatIons AssoCIatIon (ICA) ConferenCe, 2012 TeaCher of the Month Award, John Glenn HIgh SChool, 2009 Academy InstruCtor, TransportatIon Career Academy Program (TCAP) and Academy for Careers In EduCatIon (ACE), John Glenn HIgh SChool, 2008- 2010 PUBLICATIONS: Burkey, B.

First of all, I would like to thank my supervisor Susan Kozel for advising me to trust my own instinct. Moreover I would like humbly to thank all the participants without whom this project would not have been possible. Also humbly I thank Alvar, Sanna, and Susanne for shelter and feedback. For proofreading my thanks goes to Jan Felix Rybczyński and Sanna Minkkinen. Finally, my deepest gratitude is reserved to my father Dr. med. Jerzy Antoni Rybczyński. Rest in peace. I would have wished for you reading this paper. Author’s notes Often during the process of doing this study I was asked why transparent displays. What’s the point? Probably I would say this goes way back to my childhood when enjoying my father reading novel stories to us as good night stories. A good example of great stories was Scheerbart’s utopian architectural vision The Gray Cloth who told about the great Swiss architect who traveled by an airship. Wherever he went, he designed buildings made from brightly colored glass, including the roof.

  • 1 NORTHERN FLICKER MANUSCRIPT REVIEW HISTORY MANUSCRIPT (ROUND 2) Abstract the Extended Self Is Now 25 Years Old. Since It
    1 NORTHERN FLICKER MANUSCRIPT REVIEW HISTORY MANUSCRIPT (ROUND 2) Abstract The extended self is now 25 years old. Since it was formulated many technological changes have dramatically affected the way we consume, present ourselves, and communicate. This conceptual update seeks to revitalize the extended self formulation, incorporate the impacts of digitization, and provide a more contemporary understanding of consumer sense of self in today’s technological environment. The final result is necessarily a work in progress, for the digital environment and our behavior within it are rapidly changing. But by sensitizing us to some of the impacts already felt from engaging our digital environment, we should be better prepared to appreciate new directions of change involving the extended self in the future. Seven changes with digital consumption are presented and their impacts on the nature of self and the nature of possessions are developed. Needed modifications and additions to the extended self are outlined and directions for future research are suggested. This document is part of a JCR Manuscript Review History. It should be used for educational purposes only. 2 All this content forms a rich collection that reflects who you are and what you think…When others respond with a comment or retweet, they’re adding value to your collection. As more … photos, … movies, and email messages are created, the entire collection becomes a fuller reflection of you (Carroll and Romano 2011, p. 3). Twenty-five years ago when Belk (1988) presented the concept of the extended self there were already personal computers. But there were no web pages, online games, online searches, virtual worlds, social media, Internet, e-mail, smart phones, MP-3 players, or digital cameras.

During the current era, a new field of research has emerged, referred to as the social IoT, which mainly includes social networking features. The social IoT refers to devices that are capable of creating interactions with each other to independently achieve a common goal. Based on the structure, the support of numerous applications, and networking services, the social IoT is preferred over the traditional IoT. However, aspects like the roles of users and network navigability are major challenges that provoke users’ fears of data disclosure and privacy violations. Thus, it is important to provide reliable data analyses by using trust- and friendliness-based properties. This study was designed because of the limited availability of information in this area. It is a classified catalog of trust- and friendliness-based approaches in the social IoT with important highlights of important constraints, such as scalability, adaptability, and suitable network structures (for instance, human-to-human and human-to-object). In addition, typical concerns like communities of interest and social contacts are discussed in detail, with particular emphasis on friendliness- and trust-based properties, such as service composition, social similarity, and integrated cloud services.

  • Multimodal Interfaces Sharon Oviatt Center for Human-Computer
    Chapter to appear in Handbook of Human-Computer Interaction, (ed. by J. Jacko & A. Sears), Lawrence Erlbaum: New Jersey, 2002. Multimodal Interfaces Sharon Oviatt Center for Human-Computer Communication, Computer Science Dept. Oregon Graduate Institute of Science & Technology Beaverton, Oregon, USA 1. What are multimodal systems, and why are we building them? Multimodal systems process two or more combined user input modes— such as speech, pen, touch, manual gestures, gaze, and head and body movements— in a coordinated manner with multimedia system output. This class of systems represents a new direction for computing, and a paradigm shift away from conventional WIMP interfaces. Since the appearance of Bolt’s (1980) “Put That There” demonstration system, which processed speech in parallel with touch-pad pointing, a variety of new multimodal systems has emerged. This new class of interfaces aims to recognize naturally occurring forms of human language and behavior, which incorporate at least one recognition-based technology (e.g., speech, pen, vision). The development of novel multimodal systems has been enabled by the myriad input and output technologies currently becoming available, including new devices and improvements in recognition-based technologies. This chapter will review the main types of multimodal interfaces, their advantages and cognitive science underpinnings, primary features and architectural characteristics, and general research in the field of multimodal interaction and interface design. The growing interest in multimodal interface design is inspired largely by the goal of supporting more transparent, flexible, efficient, and powerfully expressive means of human-computer interaction. Multimodal interfaces are expected to be easier to learn and use, and are preferred by users for many applications.
