Participative Web and User-Created Content WEB 2.0, WIKIS and SOCIAL NETWORKING Participative Web the Internet Is Becoming Increasingly Embedded in Everyday Life Participative Web and User-Created Content WEB 2.0, WIKIS AND SOCIAL NETWORKING The Internet is becoming increasingly embedded in everyday life. Drawing on an expanding array of intelligent web services and applications, a growing number of people are creating, distributing and exploiting user-created content (UCC) and being part of the wider participative web. This study describes the rapid growth of UCC and its increasing role in worldwide communication, and draws out implications for policy. Questions addressed include: What is user-created content? What are its key drivers, its scope and different forms? What are the new value chains and business models? What are the extent and form of social, cultural and economic opportunities and impacts? What are the associated challenges? Is there a government role, and what form could it take?

  • Weaponized Humor: the Cultural Politics Of
    WEAPONIZED HUMOR: THE CULTURAL POLITICS OF TURKISH-GERMAN ETHNO-COMEDY by TIM HÖLLERING B.A. Georg-August Universität Göttingen, 2008 M.Ed., Georg-August Universität Göttingen, 2010 A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Germanic Studies) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) June 2016 © Tim Höllering, 2016 Abstract My thesis aims to show how the humor of Turkish-German ethno-comedians fulfills a double purpose of entertaining its audience while advancing a cultural political agenda that Kathrin Bower called “transnational humanism.” It includes notions of human rights consensus, critical self-reflection, respect, tolerance, and openness to cultural diversity. Promoting these values through comedy, the artists hope to contribute to abating prejudice and discrimination in Germany’s multi-ethnic society. Fusing the traditional theatrical principle of “prodesse et delectare” with contemporary cultural politics, these comedians produce something of political relevance: making their audience aware of its conceptions of “self” and “other” and fostering a sense of community across diverse cultural identifications. My thesis builds mainly on the works of Kathrin Bower, Maha El Hissy, Erol Boran, Deniz Göktürk, and Christie Davies. Whereas Davies denies humor’s potential for cultural impact, Göktürk elucidates its destabilizing power in immigrant films. Boran elaborates this function for Turkish-German Kabarett. El Hissy connects Kabarett, film, and theater of polycultural artists and ties them to Bakhtin’s concept of the carnivalesque and the medieval jester. Bower published several essays on the works of ethno-comedians as humorous catalysts for advancing a multiethnic Germany.

    Online Video as a Tool for Planning Education and Engagement: A Content Analysis of U.S. City Planning Departments’ YouTube Channels Stephanie J. Velasco A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Urban Planning University of Washington 2016 Committee: Branden Born Christopher Campbell Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Urban Design and Planning © Copyright 2016 Stephanie J. Velasco University of Washington Abstract Online Video as a Tool for Planning Education and Engagement: A Content Analysis of U.S. City Planning Departments’ YouTube Channels Stephanie J. Velasco Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Branden Born Urban Design and Planning This study explores the potential for city planning departments to more deeply engage citizens in public planning processes by producing and sharing educational videos through such online platforms as YouTube. Many academic and professional fields have already recognized and adopted YouTube as a dynamic medium for education, however planning departments in the United States’ largest cities have yet to fully take advantage of this social media platform. This study uses content analysis to describe and categorize the digital video content published on seven city planning departments’ YouTube channels. In addition, this study illuminates relationships between video popularity—measured in number of views—and video length, production quality, production elements (e.g. voiceover, motion graphics or animation, background music, etc.), the degree of production effort (or cost) required on the part of the content creator, and the presence or absence of an explicit call to action.

    An Alternative Media Experience: LiveLeak* Fatih Çömlekçi1 and Serhat Güney2 1 Ministry of Culture, State Theater, Mete Cad. No: 26, Beyoğlu, 34420 Istanbul Turkey [email protected] 2 Galatasaray University, Faculty of Communication, Ciragan Cad. No: 36 Ortakoy 34357 Istanbul, Turkey [email protected] Abstract. This research examines a video sharing web site called LiveLeak to be able to analyze the possibilities of democratic and horizontal social mobilization via Internet technology. In this sense, we take into consideration the Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari’s philosophical conceptualization of “rhizome” which provides a new approach for activities of online communities. In the light of this concept and its anti-hierarchical approach we tried to discuss the potentials of network communication models such as LiveLeak in terms of emancipating use of media and democratic communication. By analyzing the contextual traffic on the LiveLeak for a randomly chosen one week (first week of December 2013) we argue that this video sharing web site shows a rhizomatic characteristic. Keywords: LiveLeak, Rhizome, Social Networking. 1 Introduction Rapid developments in communication technologies and its social reflections, which took place especially in the 20th century, have drawn the attention of social scientists. At one extreme, Frankfurt School and its followers advanced a pessimistic approach to new media targeting specifically manipulation and standardization of the message. On the other hand, an optimistic approach formulated by Marshall McLuhan attributes an emancipating and democratic meaning to new media. Apart from these orthodox Marxist criticism and technologically deterministic liberal aspects, writers such as Bertolt Brecht [1] and Walter Benjamin [2] set forth different approaches that regard the energy and socially transforming effect of the new media, emphasizing the socialist and emancipating mission of massification in the age of mechanical reproduction.

  • Challenges of 3D Printing to Repair
    2013] 1147 THE CHALLENGES OF 3D PRINTING TO THE REPAIR-RECONSTRUCTION DOCTRINE IN PATENT LAW Kelsey B. Wilbanks* INTRODUCTION Patent law is no stranger to technological innovation. Just recently, courts have handled the legal uproar over smartphones,1 new forms of bio- technology,2 and more.3 Three-dimensional (“3D”) printing has now emerged,4 and patent law will once again need to adapt. Three-dimensional printing is new technology that allows consumers to manufacture a seemingly endless variety of items in the comfort of their homes. Although innovators have recently used 3D printers to make re- markable creations like functional guns, it is becoming more common for average tinkerers to 3D print replacement parts for broken home objects. * George Mason University School of Law, J.D.

With the site's acquisition by Google in October 2006, the possibilities for YouTube's growth became truly endless. However, there is a darker side to the story of the Internet sensation, one that is grounded in its potential liability for copyright infringement. The issue is that many of the most-viewed and most-popular videos on the site are copyrighted.

Thomas Cochrane Unitec, New Zealand [email protected] Roger Bateman Unitec, New Zealand [email protected] Abstract Today, less than a billion people have access to computers, whereas around four billion people have access to mobile phones. At the same time, the nature of the Internet has been undergoing a revolution labelled ‘web 2.0’. Most web 2.0 tools are also designed to be mobile friendly, allowing reading and updating of web 2.0 content from mobile phones, and also featuring enhanced mobile affordances such as photo and video blogging (from cameraphones), and geotagging (from GPS equipped smartphones). Hence mobile web 2.0 provides a platform for wider access than traditional computing that is context independent, facilitating ‘authentic’ learning environments (A. Herrington & Herrington, 2007, 2006; Jan Herrington, Herrington, Mantei, Olney, & Ferry, 2009) beyond the boundaries of the traditional tertiary classroom.

Social media uses web-based technologies to turn communication into interactive dialogues. Andreas Kaplan and Michael Haenlein define social media as "a group of Internet-based applications that build on the ideological and technological foundations of Web 2.0, which allows the creation and exchange of user-generated content."[1] Businesses also refer to social media as consumer-generated media (CGM). Social media utilization is believed to be a driving force in defining the current time period as the Attention Age. A common thread running through all definitions of social media is a blending of technology and social interaction for the co-creation of value. Distinction from industrial media People gain information, education, news, etc., by electronic media and print media. Social media are distinct from industrial or traditional media, such as newspapers, television, and film. They are relatively inexpensive and accessible to enable anyone (even private individuals) to publish or access information, compared to industrial media, which generally require significant resources to publish information.

EDITORIAL Politics and Society after De-Massification of the Media N Ben Fairweather and Simon Rogerson Centre for Computing and Social Responsibility, De Montfort University, Leicester, UK Email: [email protected] As Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs) develop and are more widely adopted, news and current affairs media are moving away from being mass-media, with increasing audience fragmentation, and media targeting specific niche audiences. Patterns of opinion formation are changing with these changes. Broadcast mass-media had the potential to moderate the intensity of political disputes in a way which is being threatened by these changes. There is a danger that there will be a diminishing of the effectiveness of any remaining public space in which opposing views can be fully and fairly aired, and some balanced view of what is happening, and has happened, can be formed. If such a public space ceases to exist or ceases to be effective, key elements to the democratic process may be under severe threat in some polities.
