Digitalization and Society Bünyamin Ayhan (Ed.) Digitalization and Society Bünyamin Ayhan (ed.) Digitalization and Society Bünyamin Ayhan (ed.) Digitalization and Society This book presents a collection of papers by researchers from several different institu- tions on a wide range of digital issues. Digitalization describes the phenomenon of how knowledge is processed and the processed knowledge provides social transformations beyond digitization, interaction, annihilation of time and space, the phenomenon of usage in multimedia. Transformed is not only the society but also its mentality. Digitalization reveals a sui generis digimodern process by processing modern structures with the help of compulsory tools. This process is a reconstruction of social structures and institutions on the basis of the digitalization perspective. Each social institution adapts this process and provides a contribution to the digitalization of society. The Editor Bünyamin Ayhan is a professor at the Faculty of Communication at Selçuk University, before which he was a guest associated professor at the Faculty of Communication at the Kyrgyz-Turkish Manas University. www.peterlang.com Digitalization and Society Bünyamin Ayhan (ed.)

The study is a joint work of academicians from different uni- versities operating in Turkey and started at the beginning with a very wide range of associations and nearly all of the social institutions were included in the study area. For example, from the perspective of digitalization, some of the titles are media, television, identity, surveillance and control, security, social movements, leisure, and education. Unfortunately, these titles did not take place in the study. Problems of the academic realm convinced us to narrow the scope of the first volume. The military coup attempt of July 15, 2016 will also have long lasting effects on society in terms of politics, the economy, and more importantly, on education. Although traditional and “postmodern” military coups were seen as historical cycles in our political system, society demonstrated a serious democratic resist- ance against the current coup as it was understood as a means for redesigning society by military tutelage. Naturally, the supporters of the organization that was implicated in the coup attempt which had demonstrated discourses of religion and dialogue were represented in all levels of governmental institutions close to political power and were now purged from these and other institutions. The clean- ing up began in the fields of security, administration, and justice and expanded in waves to other areas. The field of education, being among the most affected fields, was faced with new conditions beyond suspension and the arrests of teach- ers and academics which temporarily slowed down or halted the planned work. Personal priorities and perspectives changed while the security aspect reformed everyday life and risks gained permanence. The social impact of the attempted military coup resulted in new academic effects for the study. I acknowledge the devotion of the authors and the publisher which made this volume possible, which includes eleven studies. Digitalization allows interaction and multiple structures which make time and place relative. These are the instances when new social structures begin to func- tion. Particularly the indispensability of technological gadgets for individuals and society shapes everyday life. Meanwhile, previous structures either disappear or change to integrate with the new ways. The peculiarities of Turkish society present different social organizational forms and structures of different features. While the rapid changes ranging from agriculture to industrialization and information 6 Preface technologies in the last century in Turkey may be deemed problematic, they nev- ertheless prove a rich ground for scientific study and observation. That is the point where we expect original contributions of this work.

Considering the speed and present level of communication technology’s historical development, we can say that there is a media problem that is far more important than our estimation. One can say that, for the last two centuries, there has been a worldwide revolution in the means of information production and transmittance. The impact of the media, displaying a slow progress, in the beginning, has nowadays gained tremendous momentum through its own particular dynamics. Printing technology, which the Western world surprisingly came to know about as early as the beginning of the sixteenth century, has reached different dimensions with the invention of the telegraph, radio, television, video recording devices, and finally with the rise of new electronic media or communication technology such as the Internet. Thus there has been a transformation into full-fledged mass media that has the effect and power of almost instantly reshaping social life (Akgül, 2008: 40). The invention of printing technology has been considered as a turning point in reference to the speed of technological development and transformation process, to the extent that history is divided into the ‘pre-print’ and the ‘post-print’ eras. When the radio was invented in the following centuries, the division of ‘the pre- Marconi’ and ‘the post-Marconi’ periods arose (Matelski & Liynch, 1997: xi). To distinguish present time from earlier periods, we can now use the division of ‘the pre-Internet’ and ‘the post-Internet’ time periods. This chapter is intended to investigate the forms that religious culture has taken on in the digital age which humanity has been experiencing and which dif- fers from the earlier ages within the framework of information, technology, and religion. It shall discuss the controversial religious differentiations taking place in the transformation processes as well as the process of religions reproducing themselves in the modern period through the media in a way that is quite different from the earlier periods. In this context, religion shall be considered in connec- tion with its interaction with communication, technology, and the cultural world. * Necmettin Erbakan University, Divinity Faculty, [email protected] 10 Mehmet Akgül The new way of living, interrelating and understanding the values that have been rationally built on modern science and technology, in spite of the great resist- ance by traditional religions, has mostly taken a negative

The purpose of the thesis was to do profound research on the eBook market in the USA for the case company Litnet. The importance of this research derives from the case company’s interest in the market. The research conducted for Litnet was made by utiliZing several marketing research frameworks such as PEST analysis, Porter’s Five Forces model, and SWOT analysis. Both qualitative and quantitative research methods were applied in the study. The research discovered that the overall attractiveness of the US market is high for Litnet. The research showed that the industry infrastructure is favourable. The market is characterized by a high level of rivalry and low en- trance barriers. There are different models of eBooks distribution, such as traditional per copy sales, subscription services, and pay per chapter services.

  • Collaborative Production and the Transformation of Publishing: the Case of Wattpad Rosamund Davies University of Greenwich
    CHAPTER FOUR Collaborative Production and the Transformation of Publishing: The Case of Wattpad Rosamund Davies University of Greenwich Collaborative production is another way to describe what Bauwens terms peer-to-peer (P2P) production, whereby P2P collaborators work together to construct a shared commons and use value (Bauwens, 2005). This approach to production has been enabled on a large scale by the widespread availabil- ity, low cost and connectivity of digital technologies (Bauwens, 2005, Benkler, 2006). Examples of such practices might include the open software movement, crowdsourcing and crowdfunding initiatives, MMOGs (massively multiplayer online games) and fandoms, among others. Although the core aims and val- ues of collaborative production and its products are generally understood to be non-market based, many of its manifestations are interdependent with the market-based economy (Bauwens, 2005, Benkler, 2006, Jenkins, 2013, Arvids- son, 2013), as we shall go on to examine. The social reading and writing platform, Wattpad, offers a fairly recent exam- ple of such collaborative production. Wattpad is a digital enterprise, founded in How to cite this book chapter: Davies, R. 2017. Collaborative Production and the Transformation of Publishing: The Case of Wattpad.

Library Philosophy and Practice (e- journal). 3760. https://digitalcommons.unl.edu/libphilprac/3760 Sarah Donnelly Fan Fiction and Readers Advisory “Fan fiction (often abbreviated “fanfic”) is fiction based on an existing work, such as a novel, television show, or movie.” (Ford, 2016) Where do broken hearts go when they’ve closed the last page of Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows? Where can one turn when the battles are fought and won? When the guy gets the girl? When the series ends? Readers who found homes in the Shire or at 221B Baker Street, friends at Hogwarts or Camp Halfblood, families amongst vampires or werewolves, or their place amongst the Jedis or the Divergent, are left to wonder, “What’s next?” And, when the creator of their favorite band of heroes have shuttered those series, they’re left with a longing to continue with that journey. Thus, fan fiction is born. History of Fan Fiction Fan fiction goes back to the time of Shakespeare. In Anne Ford’s article, Fellowship of the Fans: Connecting with Teens Through the Magic of Fan Fiction, she explains how he borrowed characters and the plot line from Arthur Brooke’s The Tragicall Historye of Romeus and Juliet.

  • Up-To-The-Minute Market Report: Market and Submission Trends in Children’S Publishing
    UP-TO-THE-MINUTE MARKET REPORT: MARKET AND SUBMISSION TRENDS IN CHILDREN’S PUBLISHING Prepared for SCBWI Summer Spectacular – August 1, 2020 by Deborah Halverson A snapshot of the current acquisitions environment in children’s publishing, including the effects of the pandemic on market trends and submission and acquisitions trends in publishing houses and literary agencies. reating a snapshot of an industry as rich as children’s publishing is always an ambitious task. Doing so during a pandemic and a major C national cultural movement feels Herculean. Nonetheless, it is a task worthy of attempt. Writers and illustrators create books with publication in mind, if not centrally so, and understanding the marketplace and industry in which they strive for publication is important. I interviewed a dozen professionals across the industry—agents and editors, plus experts in marketing, supply chain, and statistical analysis. All told me, in one form or another, that the current health of our industry is “a mixed bag,” and that the industry will never be the same, in ways both good and bad. To a person, they all believe this industry—which has proven resilient through difficult times as recently as 2008’s Great Recession, and with its audience of young people turning to books for comfort, inspiration, entertainment, and enlightenment—is as essential as ever. This Market Re- port looks at that mixed bag, humbly offering a snapshot of where we are now, four-and-a-half months into the U.S.’s engagement with the pandemic. There will be shades of our pre-pandemic 2019 industry herein, and informed musings about an admittedly unpredictable future.

Since then, I’ve gone on to post the sequel, The Bloodstone Prophecy, which has hit #1 in Adventure multiple times. Combined, I have over 1 million reads and almost 10,000 followers. When I began posting on Wattpad, though, I knew no one on the website and had to start from scratch. This is how I did it. I first heard of Wattpad while reading a guest post written by David Alastair Hayden on Lindsay Buroker’s website, entitled, “How to Win Followers and Influence Readers on Wattpad.” He described the plan he used to get over a million reads on his fantasy book. A little more googling quickly revealed several Wattpad success stories, includ- ing Beth Reekles, Nicki Kelly, and Taran Matharu. Intrigued by their success, I decided to try the website out for myself. You may already be familiar with Wattpad, but for those who aren’t, it is a social media platform where writers and readers come togeth- er to share stories.
