Japanese Cybercultures - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Nanette Gottlieb & Mark McLelland خلاصه: Japan is rightly regarded as one of the most technologically advanced countries in the world, yet the development and deployment of Internet technology in Japan has taken a different trajectory compared with Western nations. This is the first book to look at the specific dynamics of Japanese Internet use. It examines the crucial questions: * how the Japanese are using the Internet: from the prevalence of access via portable devices, to the fashion culture of mobile phones * how Japan's "cute culture" has colonized cyberspace * the role of the Internet in different musical subcultures * how different men's and women's groups have embraced technology to highlight problems of harassment and bullying * the social, cultural and political impacts of the Internet on Japanese society * how marginalized groups in Japanese society - gay men, those living with AIDS, members of new religious groups and Japan's hereditary sub-caste, the Burakumin - are challenging the mainstream by using the Internet. Examined from a variety of interdisciplinary perspectives, using a broad range of case-studies, this is an exciting and genuinely cutting-edge book which breaks new ground in Japanese studies and will be of value to anyone interested in Japanese culture, the Internet and cyberculture.

Being Self-Study Researchers in a Digital World - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Dawn Garbett & Alan Ovens خلاصه: Being self-study researchers in a digital world has reinvigorated our collective desire to understand what it is to teach about teaching in changing times. This introductory chapter sets the scene for exploring the possibilities for the self-study of teacher education practices contiguous with the advent of new and emerging digital technologies. As teacher education transforms and is transformed by such development, there is a corresponding transformation and expansion of research possibilities associated with immersion in an increasingly digital world. We consider how being ‘digital’ augments, enhances and problematizes our conventional methods of generating, collecting and making sense of data related to learning about how and why we teach about teaching.

Theory and research on human emotions - Original PDF
Theory and research on human emotions - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Jonathan H. Turner خلاصه: My goal in this volume is to communicate the range and diversity of work in the sociology of emotions. Most of the papers fall within the normal parameters of the Advances in Group Process series, but I have also included several articles that normally would not be part of the series. My intent is, in essence, to stretch the definition of “group” to larger-scale social structures, although the focus is on how culture and social structure interact with the activation of emotions in people. I have also sought to stretch the study of emotions in the opposite direction: toward the physiological processes generating emotional responses. There is a clear bias toward theoretical papers, although several articles report research findings as they bear on a particularly theory.

Human emotions; a sociological theory - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Jonathan H. Turner خلاصه: This major theoretical work takes existing work on the emotions in significantly new directions. It gives a comprehensive account of emotions, beginning with general sociological principles, moving over important theory construction of social formation and applying this to a detailed and unified 'grand' theory of human emotions. Presenting a unified view of the emotions in the social universe, the book explores the relationships between emotions, social structure, and culture. Turner hypotheses how social structure and culture affect emotional arousal in humans, and vice versa. This book is essential reading for undergraduate and postgraduate students researching sociology of emotions, social psychology, and contemporary social theory, and is also relevant for students and researchers working in the fields of psychology and cultural studies.
