Cultures of Computer Game Concerns MatteRealities / VerKörperungen: Perspectives from Empirical Science Studies | Volume 23 Editorial Since the late 1970s, empirical science studies have developed into a key field of research at the intersection of science, technology and society. This field mer- ges a repertoire of theories and methods stemming primarily from cultural anthropology, sociology, linguistics and history. Its main characteristic is the detailed analysis of scientific practices and epistemic cultures and how these become entangled with public discourses and everyday life. This focus tries to reveal specific, local configurations and their epistemological as well as social consequences. Beyond a mere deconstruction, science studies are constantly looking to engage with the fields in which they do their work. The goal of this book series is to offer to scholars a German and English speaking Forum that – develops inter- and trans-disciplinary bodies of knowledge in the areas of medicine and the life sciences and makes these nationally and internatio- nally available; – supports young scientists through opening up a new field of work which runs across existing disciplinary structures; – encourages the formation of tandems through co-authorship. In particular, it supports, evaluates and comments on collaborative projects with collea- gues from the natural and engineering sciences. The series is directed towards scholars and students from both the empirical science/social studies and the natural sciences and medicine. The series is edited by Martin Döring and Jörg Niewöhner.

What are they? How and where do you start talking about computer games? Do you talk about pixels and animations, about Boolean logic and programming? Do you tell about the thousands of hours you spent on World of Warcraft (Blizzard Entertainment, 2004)? Do you report about elves and dragons, about gloomy soundscapes and astonishing landscapes? About sad stories and impossible riddles? Do you empha- size how you struggle to get your daughter away from the screen and out to play? Do you tell about how Grand Theft Auto (DMA Design/Rockstar North, 1997) made her the most popular girl in class for several months, because only her par- ents allowed her and her friends to play it? Do you tell about the efforts it took to get through a bill to regulate children’s use of games? Or about how regulators find out exactly how to classify a computer game? Do you warn about how iTunes, Google Play and Steam are about to take over the age regulation of computer games from democratically controlled organizations? Or do you tell about the sur- veys, interviews and participant observations that are conducted in order to get to 1 This book is a result of collective efforts of many people. I would like to thank all authors for having been extremely collaborative. Helen Walker has proof-read many of the book’s chapters and Jessica Backwinkel’s, Anna-Eva Nebowsky’s and Andreas Warneke’s help to set the book has been invaluable. Warneke’s extraordinary patience with more than twenty author’s different interpretations of the style sheet and his me- ticulous precision in formatting the manuscript has considerably improved the reading experience of this book. 10 | CULTURES OF COMPUTER GAME CONCERNS know about children’s use of computer games? What about starting with an ex- planation of the diagnosis of Internet gaming disorder? Or do you prefer to talk about how parents lack media literacy, or about nurseries’ current implementation of iPads? How to talk about computer games? What are your concerns? How do computer games affect you, what do they trigger? That depends, of course, who you are, what you do and how you relate to computer games. CONCERNS This book is about computer game concerns. The

Pach Associate Professor of History __________________________________ Howard Dewald Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 ABSTRACT KNOBLAUCH, WILLIAM M., Ph.D., March 2012, History Selling the Second Cold War: Antinuclear Cultural Activism and Reagan Era Foreign Policy Director of Dissertation: Chester J. Pach This dissertation examines how 1980s antinuclear activists utilized popular culture to criticize the Reagan administration’s arms buildup. The 1970s and the era of détente marked a decade-long nadir for American antinuclear activism. Ronald Reagan’s rise to the presidency in 1981 helped to usher in the “Second Cold War,” a period of reignited Cold War animosities that rekindled atomic anxiety. As the arms race escalated, antinuclear activism surged. Alongside grassroots movements, such as the nuclear freeze campaign, a unique group of antinuclear activists—including publishers, authors, directors, musicians, scientists, and celebrities—challenged Reagan’s military buildup in American mass media and popular culture. These activists included Fate of the Earth author Jonathan Schell, Day After director Nicholas Meyer, and “nuclear winter” scientific-spokesperson Carl Sagan.

Hi, I’m Donald Faison. If you’re like me, dealing with money was not something you learned in school. I picked it up by trial and error and I’m still learning. Russell Simmons: We live in a society that sells every new toy. That’s their job, to sell you a toy. One you don’t need. So, young people have to make choices. Min Lwin: You have to know what your financial goals are. Maria Cortez: We want our restaurant to take us to our retirement; I have to be realistic. I’m like, ‘You have to start planning now.' Tim Bouchard: I decided to break off into my own business because I personally love having creative control and a close relationship with the clients. From start to finish. Host Donald Faison: Whether times are good or bad, we all need help managing our money, and it’s up to each of us to get it right.

  • Entering the Final Frontier SETH SHOSTAK ’65
    Entering the Final Frontier SETH SHOSTAK ’65 ACK in the early 1960s, we thought we understood everything. In truth, we understood precious little. Now I’m not talking about our failure to get a firm grip on international relations, the meaning Bof life, or the social benefit of eating clubs. I’m speaking about how little we understood about the universe. Frankly, what we knew was within a stone’s throw of zip. It wasn’t really our fault. Our tenured mentors on this subject—the jacketed-and-tied faculty members who regaled us at 8:40 am each morning—exuded impressive confidence in their cosmic facts. But they had a poor grasp of the big picture. True, most of the content that filled our Physics 101 or astronomy primers is still in the textbooks today. The problem wasn’t what was in those courses, but what wasn’t. It’s been a body blow to our hubris, but what we’ve learned about the universe in the past five decades has surpassed the imagination of even avant-garde science fiction writers. Let’s recap. In 1965, the canonical description of the cosmos began inside out. It started with the fa- miliar, and nearby, bodies of our solar system—the planets and moons that were the Sirens of the sky for thousands of years. Beyond these local hunks of stony crud were the stars, a hundred billion knots of glow- ing gas in the Milky Way galaxy. These stars swam in a thin mist of gas and dust. And thanks to the work of name-brand astronomers such as Edwin Hubble, we knew that our galaxy was only one of millions.

  • Adoption of Online Music Differences Between the Netherlands and Germany
    0 Adoption of online music Differences between the Netherlands and Germany By Dominik Deiters S1239317 University of Twente: Dr. ir. Ton Spil Dr. ir. Christiaan Katsma TU Berlin: Innovation Management & Entrepreneurship Dr. Viktoriia Potishuk MSc Business Administration Chapter 0 Abstract Abstract The rapid growth of Internet technologies changed the music market drastically. New ways to share music between consumers without paying fees let the sales of the music industry decrease, but on the other side provided an opportunity to offer new music products and services to its customers. The legislations of the Netherlands and Germany reacted differently to these developments. Therefore the current state of adoption of online music—pirated or legal—has been reviewed in order to shed some light on potential differences in the music listening habits caused by different legislation as well as to recognize future trends. A survey with students was conducted in both countries, using an adapted TAM questionnaire. Furthermore, the Internet traffic volumes of several online music providers were compared. Results indicate that the lenient laws in the Netherlands supported the rapid adoption of online music at the cost of a decreased perceived financial value of music. In Germany the adoption of online music—pirated was and still is hampered by harsh copyright protection laws. 1 Chapter 0 Abstract Index ABSTRACT 1 1 INTRODUCTION 4 1.1 DEFINITION: ONLINE MUSIC SERVICES 4 1.2 LEGAL SITUATION IN GERMANY 4 1.3 LEGAL SITUATION IN THE NETHERLANDS 7 1.4 QUALITY
