Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Die Teilnahme an Spiel- und Konversationsgemeinschaften im Internet - sog. multi user dimensions (MUDs) - führt nicht nur zur Konstituierung virtueller Gruppen, sie beeinflußt auch Struktur und Umfang realweltlicher sozialer Netzwerke. Im virtuellen Raum bilden sich spezifische Übereinkünfte sozialen Handelns, Rollenstrukturen und Vertrauensvorschüsse aus, welche als Indikatoren für virtuelle Gemeinschaftsbildung gelten können. Im realen Leben führt diese virtuelle Praxis zur Ausweitung der egozentrierten sozialen Netzwerke. Ergebnisse einer real life-Befragung von 40 SpielerInnen sowie die detaillierte Analyse dreier MUD-Environments (Silberland, Ultima Online, Palazzo) zeigen überdies, daß MUDs jeweils spezifische Spielertypen mit unterschiedlichen Lebensstilen anziehen.

It explores the social, political, economic and cultural impact of globalization on young people. Growing diversity in their lifeworlds, technological development, migration and the ubiquity of digital communication and representation of the world open up new forms of self-representation, networking and political expression, which are described and discussed in the book. Other topics are the impact of globalization on work and economy, global environmental issues such as climate change, political movements which put “nationalism first”, change of youth`s values and the significance of body, gender and beauty. The book highlights the challenges of young people in modern life, as well as the way in which they express themselves and engage in society – in culture, politics, work and social life.
Book Synopsis Video Games Around the World by : Mark J. P. Wolf
Download or read book Video Games Around the World written by Mark J. P. Wolf and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2015-05-22 with total page 715 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thirty-nine essays explore the vast diversity of video game history and culture across all the world's continents. Video games have become a global industry, and their history spans dozens of national industries where foreign imports compete with domestic productions, legitimate industry contends with piracy, and national identity faces the global marketplace. This volume describes video game history and culture across every continent, with essays covering areas as disparate and far-flung as Argentina and Thailand, Hungary and Indonesia, Iran and Ireland. Most of the essays are written by natives of the countries they discuss, many of them game designers and founders of game companies, offering distinctively firsthand perspectives. Some of these national histories appear for the first time in English, and some for the first time in any language. Readers will learn, for example, about the rapid growth of mobile games in Africa; how a meat-packing company held the rights to import the Atari VCS 2600 into Mexico; and how the Indonesian MMORPG Nusantara Online reflects that country's cultural history and folklore. Every country or region's unique conditions provide the context that shapes its national industry; for example, the long history of computer science in the United Kingdom and Scandinavia, the problems of piracy in China, the PC Bangs of South Korea, or the Dutch industry's emphasis on serious games. As these essays demonstrate, local innovation and diversification thrive alongside productions and corporations with global aspirations.

Download or read book Sports Videogames written by Mia Consalvo and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-07-18 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Pong to Madden NFL to Wii Fit, Sports Videogames argues for the multiple ways that sports videogames—alongside televised and physical sports—impact one another, and how players and viewers make sense of these multiple forms of play and information in their daily lives. Through case studies, ethnographic explorations, interviews and surveys, and by analyzing games, players, and the sports media industry, contributors from a wide variety of disciplines demonstrate the depth and complexity of games that were once considered simply sports simulations. Contributors also tackle key topics including the rise of online play and its implications for access to games, as well as how regulations surrounding player likenesses present challenges to the industry. Whether you’re a scholar or a gamer, Sports Videogames offers a grounded, theory-building approach to how millions make sense of videogames today.

Book Synopsis Chat-Kommunikation by : Michael Beisswenger
Download or read book Chat-Kommunikation written by Michael Beisswenger and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 586 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Die Popularität und die Massennutzung von Kommunikationsdiensten im Internet hat in den letzten Jahren ein verstärktes Interesse der Sprach-, Kommunikations-, Sozial- und Verhaltenswissenschaften darauf gelenkt, wie sich der Vollzug kommunikativer Handlungen und sozialer Interaktion bei der Nutzung von computervermittelten Kommunikationsangeboten beschreiben läßt. Das spezifisch "Neue" von computervermittelter Kommunikation kann am sinnfälligsten am Beispiel der Chat- bzw. IRC-Kommunikation vorgeführt werden, da Chat und IRC (und daneben auch die sogenannten MUDs) - u.a. aufgrund ihrer Nahezu-Synchronizität - als die innovativsten der mit dem Internet gegebenen Kommunikationsformen angesehen werden können. Bereits eine flüchtige Bestandsaufnahme der existierenden Ansätze zur Beschäftigung mit Chat-Kommunikation zeigt den Gegenstand als einen außerordentlich facettenreichen Komplex, der unter verschiedenerlei Perspektiven und unterschiedlichsten Frage- und Problemstellungen fokussiert werden kann (und wird). Vornehmliche Ansatzpunkte sind hierbei beispielsweise Fragen nach den Ausprägungen von Identität und Sozialität in der "Netzwelt", Fragen nach Besonderheiten der Textproduktion und -rezeption, Fragen der kommunikationstheoretischen Einordnung der Chat-Kommunikation und der in Chat-Protokollen diagnostizierbaren sprachlichen Sonderformen, und nicht zuletzt Ansätze, die auf den Inszenierungscharakter abheben, der nicht selten im Rahmen von kommunikativen Episoden in Chat-"Räumen" beobachtet werden kann. Weiterhin werden in verschiedenen Bereichen der universitären wie außeruniversitären Aus- und Weiterbildung die Einsatzmöglichkeiten von Chat-Kommunikation, beispielsweise im Rahmen von via Internet abgewickelten Workgroups, Diskussionsgruppen und Lehrveranstaltungen, untersucht. Daneben sind Bemühungen um eine typologische Binnendifferenzierung des Phänomenbereichs "Chat-Kommunikation" feststellbar, etwa in Gestalt von Untersuchungen zu spezifischen Ausprägungsformen von Chat-Angeboten und zu unterschiedlichen Typen von via Chat abgewickelter Konversation: Es gibt unmoderierte Chats, moderierte Chats, themenspezifische Chats, gruppenspezifische Chats, Beratungs-Chats, Seminar-Chats, Rollenspiel-Chats, Chats mit Avataren, Comic-Chats, ... (um nur einige Ausprägungen zu nennen). Im Rahmen dieser unterschiedlichen Chat-Angebote gibt es Kommunikationsvollzüge in "offenen" und "verschlossenen" Räumen, Kommunikationsvollzüge innerhalb von Gruppen mit offener oder begrenzter Teilnehmerzahl, Zweierkonferenzen, Kommunikationsvollzüge mit spielerisch-theatralem Charakter, Privatkonversation, Diskussionen, "Flamings", "Cybersex" und "Cyberwar". Bisweilen bleibt die Kommunikation via Chat nicht nur auf die Inanspruchnahme des jeweiligen Chat-Dienstes selbst begrenzt, sondern setzt sich fort in angegliederten Gästebüchern, Forendiensten, äußert sich in von seiten der Teilnehmer auf privaten Homepages veröffentlichten Texten und Stellungnahmen oder - ganz "real" - im Rahmen gegenseitigen Kennenlernens "in real life", d.h. auf sogenannten "Chatter-Treffen" oder "Relay-Chat-Parties". www.chat-kommunikation.de Zum Inhalt: Der Band bringt in einer Reihe von Einzelbeiträgen die unterschiedlichen Zugangsweisen zu Phänomenen der Chat-Kommunikation zur Darstellung und dokumentiert somit zugleich die Interdisziplinarität des damit zusammenhängenden - spannenden wie facettenreichen - Forschungsfeldes. Die Beiträge verteilen sich auf fünf thematische Rubriken: - Sprache und Interaktion in Chat-Kommunikation - Konzeptionelle Zugänge und Analysen - Sozialität und Identität in Chat-Kommunikation - Konzeptionelle Zugänge und Analysen - Chat-Plattformen: Typen, Nutzer und Betreiber - Chat-Kommunikation im soziokulturellen Kontext: Sprachenspezifische Einzelanalysen - Chat-Kommunikation für Ausbildung und Lehre - Anwendungen und Perspektiven Die einzelnen Beiträge stammen aus den Bereichen Medien- und Kommunikationswissenschaft, Linguistik, Psychologie, Geographie, Erziehungswissenschaft, Computerlinguistik, Informatik, Publizistik & Technologie. Vertreten sind 25 Autoren mit 21 Beiträgen in deutscher und englischer Sprache. Jeder Beitrag ist mit einem Abstract in deutscher und englischer Sprache versehen.

Book Synopsis Finding Flow by : Mihaly Csikszentmihalhi
Download or read book Finding Flow written by Mihaly Csikszentmihalhi and published by Hachette UK. This book was released on 2020-03-03 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the bestselling author of Flow and one of the pioneers of the scientific study of happiness, an indispensable guide to living your best life. What makes a good life? Is it money? An important job? Leisure time? Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi believes our obsessive focus on such measures has led us astray. Work fills our days with anxiety and pressure, so that during our free time, we tend to live in boredom, absorbed by our screens. What are we missing? To answer this question, Csikszentmihalyi studied thousands of people, and he found the key. People are happiest when they challenge themselves with tasks that demand a high degree of skill and commitment, and which are undertaken for their own sake. Instead of scrolling on your phone, play the piano. Take a routine chore and figure out how to do it better, faster, more efficiently. In short, learn the hidden power of complete engagement, a psychological state the author calls flow. Though they appear simple, the lessons in Finding Flow are life-changing.
