  • Behind the Screen / Russian New Media Lev Manovich
    Behind the Screen / Russian New Media Lev Manovich Should we be surprised that as the new computer-based media expand throughout the world, intellectual horizons and aesthetic possibilities seem to be narrowing? If one scans Internet-based discussion groups and journals from London to Budapest, New York to Berlin, and Los Angeles to Tokyo, certain themes are obsessively intoned, like mantras: copyright; on-line identity; cyborgs; interactivity; the future of the Internet. This follows from the Microsofting of the planet, which has cast a uniform digital aesthetics over national visual cultures, accelerating the globalization already begun by Hollywood, MTV, and consumer packaging: hyperlinks and cute icons, animated fly-throughs, rainbow color palettes, and Phong-shaded spheres are ubiquitous, and apparently inescapable. So, given its intellectual traditions, totalitarian experience, distinct twentieth century visuality (a particular mixture of the Northern and the Communist, the gray and the bleak), and finally, its continuing pre-occupation with the brilliant avant-garde experimentation on the 1910s and 1920s, can we expect a different response to new media on the part of Russian artists and intellectuals? What will -- or could -- result from the juxtaposition of the Netscape Navigator web browser's frames with Eisenstein's theories of montage? It would be dangerous to reduce heterogeneous engagements to a single common denominator, some kind of unique "Russian New Media" meme. Yet a number of common threads do exist. These provide a useful alternative to the West's default thematics, while articulating a distinctive visual poetics of new media. One of these threads is the attitude of suspicion and irony.

  • Film Studies, Digital Humanities and the Visualization of Moving Images
    Materiality and Montage: Film Studies, Digital Humanities and the Visualization of Moving Images Digital Humanities and Film Studies In this paper, I will highlight some recent initiatives in the study of film within the digital humanities, in which context I will also present some of my own endeavors, specifically visualizations created in collaboration with the pioneering new media theorist Lev Manovich from films made by the Soviet avant-garde director Dziga Vertov (1896-1954). Following this, I will discuss some of the issues related to the use of visualizations as an aid to scholarly research. Finally, I will address a number of possible research questions in film and media studies, answers to which may benefit significantly from the collaboration between film/media scholars and computer scientists on the one hand, and (moving image) archivists on the other. Before proceeding to discuss the situation in which film archives currently find themselves, I would like to share a few introductory thoughts from my own perspective as a practitioner in digital humanities. As it has become good scholarly practice to begin by stating one’s own working definition of the term, I would like to offer the following quote by Eric Hoyt, Kit Hughes and Charles R. Acland (2016, 3), which appeals to me for its integrative approach to digital humanities: Rather than take digital humanities as a circumscribed field of research, pedagogy, and outreach, we understand DH as a strategically deployed term of mutual recognition that enables contemporary knowledge workers to signal a shared project interested in the relationship between digital technologies and humanities work.

  • Catalan in the Classroom: a Language Under Fire Sara Fowler
    Catalan in the Classroom: A Language Under Fire Sara Fowler Hawaii Pacific University Abstract This paper describes the role of Spain’s largest minority language, Catalan, in Spanish society, specifically in the classroom. Throughout its history, Catalan has gone through many cycles of oppression and revival. Currently, despite several decades of positive progress in its official role and a growing number of young speakers, Catalan is facing new challenges once again. Some members of the Spanish government believe that the language of instruction in Catalonia should be Castilian, a development which the citizens of Catalonia feel is an attack on their linguistic rights and identity. Catalan is a well-documented example of the tensions which can arise in a country with a minority language or languages. The Catalan case can also serve as a reminder to English teachers that the politics of language are often more complicated than they seem; teachers must be aware of and sensitive to the cultural and political backgrounds of their students. Introduction It is a fact that linguistic boundaries and political borders are not a perfect match; nevertheless, most people associate one language with one country. For example, the name Spain, for many people, brings to mind one language: Spanish. However, Spanish, or “Castilian” as it is more specifically called, is not the only language in Spain. There are 15 languages spoken in Spain—one official language and three other “co-official” languages, the largest of which is Catalan, spoken as a “mother tongue” by approximately nine percent of the population, compared to five percent speakers of Galician and a mere one percent who speak Euskera (Basque) as a mother tongue (Ethnologue, 2014; European Commission, 2006, p.

ABSTRACT: In 2010 the Universitat Pompeu Fabra –a public university in the heart of Barcelona- embarked on a unique joint venture in the field of journalism training in conjunction with the Agència Catalana de Notícies, the Catalan government news agency. The idea behind the project was to offer an English-language wire service aimed mainly at foreign correspondents, investors and policymakers which would take a look at current events from a specifically Catalan standpoint. This paper analyses the first four years of the Catalan News Agency experiment from an educational, professional and journalism perspective. 2.

  • Warner.Review-1 Computable Culture and the Closure of the Media Paradigm William B. Warner Director, the Digital Cultures Projec
    Warner.review-1 Computable Culture and the Closure of the Media Paradigm William B. Warner Director, the Digital Cultures Project Department of English University of California, Santa Barbara Santa Barbara, CA 93106 [email protected] Review of: Lev Manovich, _The Language of New Media_. Cambridge, MA: MIT Press, 2000. [1] Most scholars of modern media now agree that the shift of symbolic representation to a global digital information network is as systemic and pervasive a mutation, and as fraught with consequences for culture, as the shift from manuscript to print. Any one who wants to think clearly about the cultural implications of the digital mutation should read Lev Manovich’s new book, _The Language of New Media_. This book offers the most rigorous definition to date of new digital media; it places its object of attention within the most suggestive and broad-ranging media history since Marshall McLuhan; finally, by showing how software takes us beyond the constraints of any particular media substrate--paper, screen, tape, film, etc.--this book overcomes the media framework indexed by its own title. _The Language of New Media_ leads its reader to confront what is strange yet familiar, that is, *uncanny*, about the computable culture we have begun to inhabit. [2] Before characterizing Manovich in greater detail, it is helpful to say what this book is *not*. Pragmatically focused upon the present contours of computable media, Lev Manovich is neither a prophet nor doomsayer, peddling neither a utopian manifesto nor dystopian warnings. Manovich also eschews the conceptual purity of those cultural critics who set out to show how new digital media realizes the program of…Gilles Deleuze, Jean Baudrillard, Jacques Derrida (insert your favorite theorist).

Introduction One of the limitations of current research in international public relations is the centrality of the nation state in definitions of the field (e.g., Sriramesh, 2009). And according to Bardhan (2013), public relations discourse about globalization is rooted in Western and capitalist/corporate models. Thus, most international public relations research has focused on corporate public relations, usually based in English-speaking environs.

  • Introduction
    Notes Introduction 1. Spain’s rate of annual growth was bettered only by Ireland in this period, with both countries reflecting a wider trend within the EU: ‘for a decade, 1995– 2005, the countries of Europe’s “South” (Spain, France, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Portugal) had growth rates almost one per cent higher than the countries of the “North” (Germany, Austria, Belgium, Finland, the Netherlands)’ (Husson, 2012: 331). 2. By late 2010, the OECD (2010) had already reported youth unemployment in Spain (then at 40.7 per cent) to be 22.2 per cent above the OECD average. 3. The rate of unemployment in the eurozone as a whole in June 2013 was 12.2 per cent, with youth unemployment then at 24.4 per cent (Elliott, 2013; Allen, 2013). 4. As the German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, told the Bundestag during a debate on the Greek bailout: ‘This is about nothing less than the future of Europe and the future of Germany in Europe’ (quoted in Deutsche Welle, 2010). 5. By 2007, Irish banks’ liabilities were the equivalent of 75 per cent of GDP (World Policy Journal, 2011). Much of these were connected to speculative investment in the construction sector. 6. By June 2012, unemployment had more than doubled in Ireland from its pre- crisis level, to reach 14.8 per cent – the third highest rate in the EU after Spain and Greece at that time (Halpin, 2012). 7. Matsaganis (2012: 413) estimated that by the end of 2012 income losses in Greece had pushed 30 per cent of the population below the pre- crisis poverty line in terms of purchasing power.

  • Optional Protocol to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights
    ___________________________________________________________________ Optional Protocol to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights Application against Spain by Carles Puigdemont, President-Elect of Catalonia Lodged 1 March 2018 __________________________________________________________________ PUIGDEMONT -v- SPAIN SUMMARY: In this application Mr. Carles PUIGDEMONT alleges that Spain is guilty of violating its international treaty obligations through the cumulative imposition of disproportionate and unjustified restrictions with the exercise of his political rights under the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (“UDHR”), and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (“ICCPR”). Spain is a State Party to both treaties. It is also a signatory, without relevant reservations, to the Optional Protocol to the ICCPR, which provides for the right of individual petition. Spain has not notified any relevant derogation to the provisions of the ICCPR which thus remain fully in force. It is legally bound by treaty obligation to secure the rights and freedoms guaranteed by the ICCPR, throughout the territory of Spain, and to all those who fall within its jurisdiction. Mr. PUIGDEMONT brings this individual petition to the United Nations Human Rights Committee in order to vindicate his right to stand for elections (article 25, ICCPR); his right to freedom of association with other secessionist politicians and political parties in pursuit of a common goal of securing independence from Spain for Catalonia (article 22, ICCPR); and his right to freedom of peaceful political expression in support of the cause of independence for Catalonia (article 19, ICCPR). He invites the Committee to hold that these rights have been violated by cumulative and continuing conduct of the Kingdom of Spain.
