  • 2004 February
    February 2004 Games and Entertainment Megan Morrone Today you can use the same machine to organize your finances, create a presentation for your boss, and defend the Earth from flesh-eating aliens. But let’s be honest: Even with the crazy advances in software, organizing your finances and creating a presentation for your boss are still not half as much fun as defending the Earth from flesh-eating aliens.That’s why we’ve devoted the entire month of February to the noble pursuit of games and entertainment for PCs, Macs, game consoles, and PDAs. I know what you’re thinking.You’re thinking that you can skip right over this chapter because you’re not a gamer. Gamers are all sweaty, pimpled, 16-year-old boys who lock themselves in their basements sustained only by complex carbohydrates and Mountain Dew for days on end, right? Wrong.Video games aren’t just for young boys anymore. Saying you don’t like video games is like saying you don’t like ice cream or cheese or television or fun.Are you trying to tell me that you don’t like fun? If you watch The Screen Savers,you know that each member of our little TV family has a uniquely different interest in games. Morgan loves a good frag fest, whereas Martin’s tastes tend toward the bizarre (think frogs in blenders or cow tossing.) Kevin knows how to throw a cutting-edge LAN party,while Joshua and Roger like to kick back with old-school retro game emulators. I like to download free and simple low-res games that you can play on even the dinkiest PC, whereas Patrick prefers to build and rebuild the perfect system for the ultimate gaming experience (see February 13).And leave it to Leo to discover the most unique new gaming experience for the consummate early adopter (see February 1).

  • The Blogging Artist: a Genre-Analysis Approach
    Tarih Kültür ve Sanat Ara ştırmaları Dergisi (ISSN: 2147-0626) Journal of History Culture and Art Research Vol. 2, No. 2, June 2013 Revue des Recherches en Histoire Culture et Art Copyright © Karabuk University http://kutaksam.karabuk.edu.tr/index.php اث ار وا وا Özel Sayı/Special Issue (English Studies ) DOI: 10.7596/taksad.v2i2.220 The Blogging Artist: a Genre-Analysis Approach ∗ Anda-Elena Cre ţiu ∗∗ Abstract Building on the now classic approaches to Discourse Analysis offered by Swales and Bhatia, the present paper tries to establish the benefits and value of applying the method of Genre Analysis to teaching English for Art Purposes, with a focus on a more recent Internet genre, that of the artist’s blog (weblog). The artist’s blog is seen as part of the greater genre of the weblog, which has already been classified into a number of subgenres. The paper proposes yet another dimension to be added to those already considered when classifying the weblogs: the dimension of “occupational-oriented content” as a descriptive for further classifications; it also tries to uncover the generic features of this type of discourse. The ultimate aim of this study is, on the one hand, that of providing art students with the necessary know-how of using the weblog genre for their current and future professional purposes, as part of the complex system of genres devised by the artistic discourse community in order to communicate both within and without itself, and, on the other hand, to help students use their knowledge of the English language to create such a discourse type in order to obtain maximum benefits.

This thesis examines how the creators of free content, specifically webcomics, are able to monetise their work and find financial success through crowdfunding and what factors, social and psychological, support this process. Consistent with crowdfunding being both a large-scale social process yet based on the interactions of individuals (albeit en mass), this topic was explored at both micro- and macro-level combining methods from individual interviews through to mass scraping of data and large-scale questionnaires.
