In this groundbreaking collection, a range of international scholars examine how digital media are changing memory practices, discourses and forms in different national and cultural contexts around the world.

Discourse and power

This book is about a new kind of revolution in China - a revolution in which rapidly commercializing media industries confront slow-changing power relations between political, social and economic spheres.
Multinational media companies increasingly look to China as a highly important market for the future, but with what degree of confidence should they do so? Media in China is about a new kind of revolution in China - a revolution in which rapidly commercializing media industries confront slow-changing power relations between political, social and economic spheres. This interdisciplinary collection draws on the expertise of industry professionals, academic experts and cultural critics. It offers a variety of perspectives on audio-visual industries in the world's largest media market. In particular, the contributors examine television, film, music, commercial and political advertising, and new media such as the internet and multimedia. These essays explore evolving audience demographies, new patterns of media reception in regional centres, and the gradual internationalization of media content and foreign investment in China's broadcasting industries.

Now more than ever, we need to understand social media - the good as well as the bad. We need critical knowledge that helps us to navigate the controversies and contradictions of this complex digital media landscape. Only then can we make informed judgements about what's happening in our media world, and why.
Showing the reader how to ask the right kinds of questions about social media, Christian Fuchs takes us on a journey across social media, delving deep into case studies on Google, Facebook, Twitter, WikiLeaks and Wikipedia. The result lays bare the structures and power relations at the heart of our media landscape.
This book is the essential, critical guide for all students of media studies and sociology. Readers will never look at social media the same way again.

Young people today have grown up living substantial portions of their lives online, seeking entertainment, social relationships, and a place to express themselves. It is clear that participation in online communities is important for many young people, but less clear how this translates into civic or political engagement. This volume examines the relationship of online action and real-world politics. The contributors discuss not only how online networks might inspire conventional political participation but also how creative uses of digital technologies are expanding the boundaries of politics and public issues. Do protests in gaming communities, music file sharing, or fan petitioning of music companies constitute political behavior? Do the communication skills and patterns of action developed in these online activities transfer to such offline realms as voting and public protests? Civic Life Online describes the many forms of civic life online that could predict a generation's political behavior.ContributorsMarina Umaschi Bers, Stephen Coleman, Jennifer Earl, Kirsten Foot, Peter Levine, Kathryn C.

几乎没有一个角落能够躲避新闻的不断轰炸，
新闻的喧嚣纷杂已经渗入自我当中，
但我们很少意识到新闻强大的影响力：
新闻不仅能左右我们对现实的观感，还能塑造我们的心灵状态！
一场饥荒、一座遭到洪水淹没的城镇、一则明星八卦、一个政府的垮台、一位经济学家对于明年发展趋势的预测......这类外在的骚动，很有可能就是我们获得内心平静所需要的东西。一场饥荒，一座洪水淹没的小镇，一个在逃的连环杀手，一届下台的政府，某经济学家对明年救济人口的预测--这样的外界骚动也许正是我们所需要的，好以此换取内心的平静。
当新闻支配了我们的日常生活，需要有人帮助我们去回应和思索新闻造成的影响：包括心中因此出现的羡慕与恐慌、激动与受挫，以及裹挟在不断向我们涌来的新闻大潮中，偶尔会怀疑自己如果不知道是否会比较好的种种情境。
全球著名的才子型作家德波顿由此出发，解析六大类型的新闻报导——政治新闻、国际新闻、经济新闻、名人新闻、灾难新闻、消费新闻，用他的生花妙笔与透彻观察，引导我们产生适当的观点，使我们体会到──与新闻报导的暗示恰恰相反──其实没有什么事情真正算得上是新奇、值得讶异，或者恐怖至极。

This seminal study and critique of propaganda from one of the greatest French philosophers of the 20th century is as relevant today as when it was first published in 1962. Taking not only a psychological approach, but a sociological approach as well, Ellul’s book outlines the taxonomy for propaganda, and ultimately, it’s destructive nature towards democracy. Drawing from his own experiences fighting for the French resistance against the Vichy regime, Ellul offers a unique insight into the propaganda machine.

《未名社科·传播政治经济学译丛·传播理论史：回归劳动》将传播理论的发展，放置在世界史与社会背景中进行考察。内容涉及美国的生产者共和论、传播行为研究、从杜威至米尔斯的学说贡献及缺陷；美国的大众文化与法兰克福学派的文化工业批判、文化帝国主义，以及文化研究的发展历程。
传播政治经济学名家席勒提纲挈领地勾勒了欧洲大陆的结构、后结构与后现代派别，以及哈贝马斯与政治经济学的关系。作者不仅检视传播本身，更着墨于“传播”与“劳动”这个较少在传播学著作中出现的问题，并主张用“生产性的劳动”（productive labor）克服劳心劳力之分，如此才能建构“文化的劳动理论”。

In most liberal democracies commercialized media is taken for granted, but in many authoritarian regimes the introduction of market forces in the media represents a radical break from the past with uncertain political and social implications. In Media Commercialization and Authoritarian Rule in China, Daniela Stockmann argues that the consequences of media marketization depend on the institutional design of the state. In one-party regimes such as China, market-based media promote regime stability rather than destabilizing authoritarianism or bringing about democracy. By analyzing the Chinese media, Stockmann ties trends of market liberalism in China to other authoritarian regimes in the Middle East, North Africa, sub-Saharan Africa and the post-Soviet region. Drawing on in-depth interviews with Chinese journalists and propaganda officials as well as more than 2000 newspaper articles, experiments and public opinion data sets, this book links censorship among journalists with patterns of media consumption and media's effects on public opinion.

This book presents the first panoramic study of minkan (citizen publications) in China before the Internet, from the 1950s to the 1980s. Drawing on theories of civil society and the public sphere, this study explores the creative practice of minkan as a revival of the concept of 'moveable words' in the Chinese print tradition. When examined against the backdrop of a much older history of Chinese print culture and its renaissance, this recent history of citizen publications also contributes to the reclamation of a lost past of resistance. It is an exercise in remembering a past that has been marginalized and excluded by official history and recovering thoughts and practices obliterated by state power. This book attempts to reconstruct the narrative of modern Chinese history by analyzing the development of a civil society that is independent of both the state elite and the new apolitical bourgeoisie in mainland China.
