Full textAbstract:
The figure of the user is often overlooked in Internet histories, which frequently focus on larger treatments of infrastructure, governance, or major contributions of specific individuals. This thesis constructs a philosophical and ideological history of the Internet user and examines how that figure has changed though the evolution of the Internet. Beginning with the Web 2.0 paradigm in the early 2000s, a growing state and corporate interest in the Internet produced substantial changes to the structure and logic of the Internet that saw the user being placed increasingly at the periphery of online space as the object of state surveillance or behavioral tracking. The three case studies in this thesis investigate the combination of technological constraints and discursive strategies which have aided in shaping the contemporary user from active architect of the Internet itself to passive, ideal consumer of predetermined online experiences.

Thank you.Online streaming video portal YouTube began life with the slogan "Broadcast Yourself" as its guiding ethos. Those words invite a critical exploration of YouTube’s relationship to broadcast media history and the current economic, social, and technological landscape of television. Precedent for the discourses of medium-specific ideologies circulating around YouTube is found in the alternative television production cultures of the late 1960s-early 1980s and the processes of radio regulation and spectrum allocation in 1927-1934. In the final analysis, YouTube operates as a simulation of the established television industry, pretending to be disruptive while developing itself as an industry according to the same capitalist logics that structure mainstream television. Thus, YouTube should not be thought of as a viable alternative structure to the television industry. Particular consideration is given to the impacts of YouTube’s technological and industrial structures on queer media producers and consumers.

Find full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the development of the Internet and associated technologies from 1968 to 1996, both in the United States and in other countries. It argues that the Internet is the product of the interaction between technical, organisational and cultural factors, and that this interaction can best be described as a series of transitions and transformations. Rather than focus on
individual events, it examines the wider trends these events signify, and in doing so seeks to map out the broad structural changes which affected the medium's growth in the period in question. Within the context of this general
objective, the thesis also explores the role of scientific communities in the development and dissemination of Internet technologies, and in particular how notions of information-sharing which are central to scientific practice
sometimes overrode political and commercial imperatives. Issues of access also constitute a key theme in this study, and are explored by examining the processes by which the criteria for access to the medium was changed from one
based on professional affiliation to one based on a user-pays principle. More broadly, the thesis also examines how shifting patterns of public and private investment affected the growth of the network, focusing on the gradual commercialisation of both access and content provision. The thesis concludes with a discussion of the relationship between the Internet and Web and traditional media forms, and how the Internet was incorporated into and the pre-existing media framework.

Full textAbstract:
In this dissertation, I look at the history of cloud computing to demonstrate the entanglement of history, metaphor, and materiality. In telling this story, I argue that metaphors play a powerful role in how we imagine, construct, and maintain our technological futures. The cloud, as a metaphor in computing, works to simplify complexities in distributed networking infrastructures. The language and imagery of the cloud has been used as a tool that helps cloud providers shift public focus away from potentially important regulatory, environmental, and social questions while constructing a new computing marketplace. To address these topics, I contextualize the history of the cloud by looking back at the stories of utility computing (1960s-70s) and ubiquitous computing (1980s-1990s). These visions provide an alternative narrative about the design and regulation of new technological systems.
Drawing upon these older metaphors of computing, I describe the early history of the cloud (1990-2008) in order to explore how this new vision of computing was imagined. I suggest that the metaphor of the cloud was not a historical inevitability. Rather, I argue that the social-construction of metaphors in computing can play a significant role in how the public thinks about, develops, and uses new technologies. In this research, I explore how the metaphor of the cloud underplays the impact of emerging large-scale computing infrastructures while at the same time slowly transforming traditional ownership-models in digital communications.
Throughout the dissertation, I focus on the role of materiality in shaping digital technologies. I look at how the development of the cloud is tied to the establishment of cloud data centers and the deployment of global submarine data cables. Furthermore, I look at the materiality of the cloud by examining its impact on a local community (Los Angeles, CA). Throughout this research, I argue that the metaphor of the cloud often hides deeper socio-technical complexities. Both the materials and metaphor of the cloud work to make the system invisible. By looking at the material impact of the cloud, I demonstrate how these larger economic, social, and political realities are entangled in the story and metaphor of the cloud.Doctor of Philosophy
This dissertation tells the story of cloud computing by looking at the history of the cloud and then discussing the social and political implications of this history. I start by arguing that the cloud is connected to earlier visions of computing (specifically, utility computing and ubiquitous computing). By referencing these older histories, I argue that much of what we currently understand as cloud computing is actually connected to earlier debates and efforts to shape a computing future. Using the history of computing, I demonstrate the role that metaphor plays in the development of a technology. Using these earlier histories, I explain how cloud computing was coined in the 1990s and eventually became a dominant vision of computing in the late 2000s. Much of the research addresses how the metaphor of the cloud is used, the initial reaction to the idea of the cloud, and how the creation of the cloud did (or did not) borrow from older visions of computing. This research looks at which people use the cloud, how the cloud is marketed to different groups, and the challenges of conceptualizing this new distributed computing network. This dissertation gives particular weight to the materiality of the cloud. My research focuses on the cloud's impact on data centers and submarine communication data cables. Additionally, I look at the impact of the cloud on a local community (Los Angeles, CA). Throughout this research, I argue that the metaphor of the cloud often hides deeper complexities. By looking at the material impact of the cloud, I demonstrate how larger economic, social, and political realities are entangled in the story and metaphor of the cloud.

Full textAbstract:
" america.jp" explores identity, nationalism, and power on the Internet between 1969 and 2000 through a cultural analysis of Internet code and the creative processes behind it. The dissertation opens with an examination of a real-time Internet Blues jam that linked Japanese and American musicians between Tokyo and Mississippi in 1999. The technological, cultural, and linguistic uncertainties that characterized the Internet jam, combined with the inventive reactions of the musicians who participated, help to introduce the fundamental conceptual question of the dissertation: is code a cultural product and if so can the Internet be considered a distinctly "American" technology?;A comparative study of the Internet's origins in the United States and Japan finds that code is indeed a cultural entity but that it is a product not of one nation, but of many. A cultural critique of the Internet's domain name conventions explores the heavily-gendered creation of code and the institutional power that supports it. An ethnography of the Internet's managing organization, The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), investigates conflicts and identity formation within and among nations at a time when new Internet technologies have blurred humans' understanding of geographic boundaries. In the year 2000, an effort to prevent United States domination of ICANN produced unintended consequences: disputes about the definition of geographic regions and an eruption of anxiety, especially in China, that the Asian seat on the ICANN board would be dominated by Japan. These incidents indicate that the Internet simultaneously destabilizes identity and ossifies it. In this paradoxical situation, cultures and the people in them are forced to reconfigure the boundaries that circumscribe who they think they are.

Full textAbstract:
IPv6, a new Internet protocol designed to exponentially increase the global availability of Internet addresses, has served as a locus for incendiary international tensions over control of the Internet. Esoteric technical standards such as IPv6, on the surface, appear not socially significant. The technical community selecting IPv6 claimed to have excised sociological considerations from what they considered an objective technical design decision. Far from neutrality, however, the development and adoption of IPv6 intersects with contentious international issues ranging from tensions between the United Nations and the United States, power struggles between international standards authorities, U.S. military objectives, international economic competition, third world development objectives, and the promise of global democratic freedoms. This volume examines IPv6 in three overlapping epochs: the selection of IPv6 within the Internetâ s standards setting community; the adoption and promotion of IPv6 by various stakeholders; and the history of the administration and distribution of the finite technical resources of Internet addresses. How did IPv6 become the answer to presumed address scarcity? What were the alternatives? Once developed, stakeholders expressed diverse and sometimes contradictory expectations for IPv6. Japan, the European Union, China, India, and Korea declared IPv6 adoption a national priority and an opportunity to become more competitive in an American-dominated Internet economy. IPv6 activists espoused an ideological belief in IPv6, linking the standard with democratization, the eradication of poverty, and other social objectives. The U.S., with ample addresses, adopted a laissez-faire approach to IPv6 with the exception of the Department of Defense, which mandated an upgrade to the new standard to bolster distributed warfare capability. The history of IPv6 includes the history of the distribution of the finite technical resources of â IP addresses,â globally unique binary numbers required for devices to exchange information via the Internet. How was influence over IP address allocation and control distributed globally? This history of IPv6 explains what's at stake economically, politically, and technically in the development and adoption of IPv6, suggesting a theoretical nexus between technical standards and politics and arguing that views lauding the Internet standards process for its participatory design approach ascribe unexamined legitimacy to a somewhat closed process.Ph.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis charts the perception of Scottish identity through history, with particular reference to the construction of a new, Highland stereotype of Scottish identity in the nineteenth century, and the dissemination of this identity around the world. The destruction of Scotlands origin myths and the collapse of traditional institutions of identity prior to the eighteenth century are charted, and the role of Scottish societies, Empire, the media and Scottish commercial agencies in spreading and legitimising this stereotype are analysed. It is shown that there was a fundamental shift from consumer to customer, from history to heritage at just the time a new, "tartan" confection of Scottish identity was created, which helped ingrain this image in the popular consciousness. Traditional markers of "Scottishness" are discussed, but found wanting when applied to the diaspora, and other markers for Scottish identity applicable to Scots outwith Scotland's borders are suggested. The Internet is introduced as a new medium which will have a particular impact on Scottish history and identity in the future. By allowing the democratisation of presentations of history online, the Internet enables a multiplicity of Scotlands to be presented to a massive global audience. Current initiatives concerning Scottish history online are assessed, and Scotland is found to be lagging behind contemporary countries in presenting her history, and consequently her identity, online.

Full textAbstract:
From 1995 the Internet attracted commercial investment, but financially measurable benefits and competitive advantage proved elusive. Usage for personal communication and business information only slowly translated into commercial transactions. This reflects a unique feature of Internet development. Unlike other media of the 19th and 20th centuries, widespread Internet use preceded commercial investment. The early military and research use led to an architecture that poorly supported the certainty and security requirements of commercial transactions. Subsequent attempts to align this architecture with commercial transactional requirements were expensive and mostly unsuccessful. This multi-disciplinary thesis describes these commercial factors from historical, usage, technical, regulatory and commercial perspectives. It provides a new and balanced understanding in a subject area dominated by poor communication between separate perspectives.

Full textAbstract:
Internet Memes transverse and sometimes transcend cyberspace on the back of impossibly cute LOLcats speaking mangled English and the snarky remarks of Image Macro characters always on the lookout for someone to undermine. No longer the abstract notion of a cultural gene that Dawkins (2006) introduced in the late 1970s, memes have now become synonymous with a particular brand of vernacular language that internet users engage by posting, sharing and remixing digital content as they communicate jokes, emotions and opinions. For the purpose of this research the language of Internet Memes is understood as visual, succinct and capable of inviting active engagement by users who encounter digital content online that exhibits said characteristics. Internet Memes were explored through an Arts-Based Educational Research framework by first identifying the conventions that shape them and then interrogating these conventions during two distinct research phases. In the first phase the researcher, as a doctoral student in art and visual culture education, engaged class readings and assignments by generating digital content that not only responded to the academic topics at hand but did so through forms associated with Internet Memes like Image Macros and Animated GIFs. In the second phase the researcher became a meme literacy facilitator as learners in three different age-groups were led in the reading, writing and remixing of memes during a month-long summer art camp where they were also exposed to other art-making processes such as illustration, acting and sculpture. Each group of learners engaged age-appropriate meme types: 1) the youngest group, 6 and 7 year-olds, wrote Emoji Stories and Separated at Birth memes; 2) the middle group, 8-10 year-olds, worked with Image Macros and Perception memes, 3) while the oldest group, 11-13 year-olds, generated Image Macros and Animated GIFs. The digital content emerging from both research phases was collected as data and analyzed through a hybrid of Memetics, Actor-Network Theory, Object Oriented Ontology, Remix Theory and Glitch Studies as the researcher shifted shapes yet again and became a Research Jockey sampling freely from each field of study. A case is made for Internet Memes to be understood as an actor-network where meme collectives, individual cybernauts, software and source material are all actants interrelating and making each other enact collective agencies through shared authorships. Additionally specific educational contexts are identified where the language of Internet Memes can serve to incorporate technology, storytelling, visual thinking and remix practices into art and visual culture education. Finally, the document reporting on the research expands on the hermeneutics of Internet Memes and the phenomenological experiences they elicit that are otherwise absent from traditional scholarly prose. Chapter by chapter the dissertation was crafted as a journey from the academic to the whimsical, from the lecture hall to the image board (where Internet Memes were born), from the written word to the remixed image as a visual language that is equal parts form and content that emerges and culminates in a concluding chapter composed almost entirely of popular Internet Meme types.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis contains three independent chapters aimed at increasing our understanding of the effects of Internet diffusion on politics and development. The first chapter proposes a novel methodology for measuring Internet penetration. Using IP geolocation data, a new measure of Internet access is created, which counts the number of IP addresses per person in a region. This is the first measure of Internet penetration that is comparable not only across countries but across sub-regions of countries such as states or even electoral districts. The second chapter applies this measure to test whether Internet diffusion can weaken incumbent power in a semi-authoritarian regime. Using Malaysia as a test case, I find that the Internet is responsible for a six point swing away from the incumbent party in the 2008 elections. In the third chapter, co-authored with Valentino Larcinese, we look at the effects of the Internet on U.S. presidential elections. In accordance with anecdotal evidence, we find that increased Internet penetration leads to an increase in small donations to the Democratic Party and a swing towards the Democratic presidential candidate.

Full textAbstract:
This master's thesis is a grounded theory study of the development of the Internet as a tool for political action in Japan by groups and individuals producing web pages on the issue of history textbook reform. Through the analysis of 14 in-depth interviews, a framework is developed for understanding the role the Internet has taken in political action in Japan. As activists utilize the Internet in political activism, the Internet appears to be developing into an anchor for continuing political activism. For activists, the Internet is a central point of reference for both mass communication and interpersonal communication activities. The model indicates that the political alignment of an activist is an important factor in determining his or her preference for either interpersonal or mass communication on the Internet. Activists on the left tend to use the Internet as a tool for interpersonal communication and coordination, while activists on the right tend to view the Internet as a tool for mass persuasion. The model of Internet activism developed in the thesis is also compared with models of communication derived from theories of technological determinism and social shaping of technologies. Consistent with technological determinist ideas, the Japanese case demonstrates that as activists rely on the Internet, other media show signs of becoming content for the new medium. However, the Japanese case also shows that pre-existing needs and the political framework of an activist have a strong shaping effect on Internet use, indicating the importance of a social shaping of technologies approach.

With Internet Explorer 10, Microsoft changed the way of storing web related information. Instead of the old index.dat files, Internet Explorer 10 uses an ESE database called WebCacheV01.dat to maintain its web cache, history and cookies. This database contains a wealth of information that can be of great interest to a forensic investigator. This thesis explores the structure of the new database, what information it contains, how it behaves in different situations, and also shows that it is possible to recover deleted database records – even when the InPrivate browsing mode has been used.

The purpose of this study is to analyse three different innovations and the impact they had on the Swedish Magazine Industry 1995-2015. The framework for this thesis is the theories of Joseph Schumpeter on innovations but also many of his successors who over time have applied his theories and methods on various industries. The innovations in this thesis are (i) computerisation of production, on the effect desktop publishing software had on the magazine industry; (ii) lowering of VAT on magazines from 25 percent to 6 percent; (iii) the diffusion of internet and the effect it had on magazine industry. Using the theories on developments block by Erik Dahmén the thesis concludes that these three innovations can be sorted in the same development block: the process of the development of the CPU (Central Processing Unit), a technology required for each of these important media innovations.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation is a qualitative and interpretive project aimed at understanding the historical relationship between new media and religion. My primary research question asks how religious institutions handle the excitement and threat of new technology. To answer this question I conduct a series of case studies of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints’ (LDS/Mormon) relationship with three of the most important twentieth-century media: emerging radio, television, and Internet technologies. More specifically, I analyze how these electronic media were understood through their organizational histories, how they were talked about in their novelty and transitional states, and their religious institutionalization over time.
This dissertation argues that Mormon media are best understood through the concept of Zion: a sacred city and a holy people. As a social, cultural, theological, and material endeavor, Zion is impossible without modern technology. The history of Mormon media is a history of a people’s perpetual attempts to be in the world but not of the world--to stand apart in uniqueness and unity while yet remaining close enough to promote positive change. This is the paradox of Zion, and the paradox of twentieth-century media: both rely on the very things they seek to transcend.
It is through media that Mormonism was founded, struggles, and thrives. Through case studies of radio, television, and the Internet it is clear that media function as the material and metaphysical infrastructure of the religion and the interface through which Mormonism positions itself in relation to the world. This dissertation argues that understanding media, and ultimately ourselves by extension, is a process of discovery and creation guided by experimentation, trial and error, entrepreneurial pragmatism, and improvisation. Mormonism teaches that understanding media requires discipline, work, and faith. Media are fundamentally agents of compromise.

Full textAbstract:
Historically, wildlife and nature filmmakers have embraced the expository mode of filmmaking and a realistic style, attempting to influence their audience with compelling arguments. However, while their scripts may call for activism, their expository, realistic style, with hidden production methods, an authoritative tone, and pristine visuals, instead encourages voyeurism. In addition, standard theater and television distribution methods offer no outlet for action to viewers who do feel inspired. I offer a different model for influence in my wildlife series Nature Break: reflexive filmmaking. In this series I use such reflexive strategies to critique the voyeuristic way in which spectators consume wildlife and nature films. However, critiquing passive spectators with reflexivity is not the same as creating active spectators. Therefore, with Nature Break I go beyond simply making and distributing a film. Additionally, I will create a related website on the Internet as a platform for viewers to post their own films, discuss issues inspired by films on the site, and coordinate activism efforts. Through Internet distribution, the Nature Break series can finally live up to the reflexive filmmaker's goal of creating an art that leads to activism.

Full textAbstract:
During the 1990s, artists started to explore the possibilities of the World Wide Web. This thesis investigates online artworks by studying their agency. Why do people interact with them, as if they are alive? How do they mobilise people, or make them share visions and ideas? Based on research in largely untapped archives, it presents an in-depth examination of several case studies, exploring the artwork's ability to have the power to act in a variety of social settings. Through studying the life trajectory of the artwork, it also offers insights in how these dynamic entities undergo changes over time and across cultures. Grounded in theoretical literature on the agency of art, this research offers an innovative way of understanding Internet art and it contributes to wider conversations about the agency of art and artefacts.

Richards, Tanya Krystine. "Legal regulations of internet services providers." Thesis, Queensland University of Technology, 2001. https://eprints.qut.edu.au/36871/1/36871_Richards_2001.pdf.
Full textAbstract:
The objective of this thesis work is to establish the legal regulations of Internet service providers and establish that there is in fact a body of regulations in existence now for their regulation. While at this time there is feeling in the marketplace that there is insufficient legal regulation of Internet service providers, this thesis has uncovered an existing statutory regime of regulations and obligations. In addition to this existing statutory regime there is further emerging regulations and obligations currently in progress and it can be expected that it will continue to emerge with the industry emergency.
Form a commercial perspective it has been shown that the telecommunications, information technology, communications and entertainment industries are converging with the Internet as a mutual channel for delivery of their existing services. This emergence of a merged industry places the Internet service provider in an interesting position from a regulatory perspective. The Internet service provider is in fact regulated not only by a number of legislative pieces, but also by a number oflegislative bodies.
The term Internet service provider is not an easily defined term. The legal definition is found in the legislation based upon the commercial decisions that the Internet service provider makes, and the term itself is only used in the Broadcasting Services Act. The definition from a layperson point of view is less defined and in many instances does not contain significant correlation with the laypersons expectation of the definition of the term. The life span of the term Internet service provider is questionable. It is difficult to ascertain how long the term will be in common use with the rapid emergence of technology, and if it is still in common usage, if it will have the same meaning as it does at the time of this thesis.

Previous issue date: 2011-08-11This research aims to outline the reasons why the myth of the gaucho was formed and continues today, especially in the virtual field from literature and history, bringing part of its base the work of Simões Lopes Neto, which can be observed through rituals, performances and representations contained and offered in digital videos on the Internet. In parallel, the study continues in an attempt to understand the reasons why these people, born or identified with the peculiarities of Rio Grande do Sul to stay alive, from the rallies, demonstrations and settings from your everyday what the weather was aimed on the way culture in the legend, and through such expressions, developed all the representation of this tradition. So try to understand this trajectory of the identity of the gaucho in the twenty-first century, it is of utmost deference to deal with concepts such as identity, representation, culture, tradition, imagination, history, literature and internet
Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo delinear os motivos pelos quais o mito do gaúcho se formou e se mantém até hoje, principalmente no campo virtual, ancorado na literatura e na história. O estudo é baseado nas obras de Simões Lopes Neto, passíveis de serem observados por meio de ritos, performances e representações, contidas e oferecidas em vídeos digitalizados na internet. Em paralelo, o estudo prossegue na tentativa de compreender as razões que levam esse povo, nascido ou identificado com as peculiaridades do Rio Grande do Sul, a manter vivas, pelas manifestações, demonstrações e exposições do seu cotidiano, o que o tempo vislumbrou no caminho da cultura e na lenda, valendo-se de tais expressões, desenvolveu toda a representação dessa tradição. Por isso, nessa trajetória de intentar entender a identidade do gaúcho no século XXI, mostra-se relevante tratar de conceitos como os de identidade, representação, cultura, tradição, imaginário, história, literatura e internet

HistoryPh.D.
As part of the Immigration Act of 1990, the United States has held an annual Diversity Visa (DV) lottery, encouraging nationals of countries that historically sent few migrants to the United States to apply for one of 50,000 legal immigrant visas. The DV lottery has reshaped global migration, making possible for the first time significant voluntary immigration from sub-Saharan Africa to the United States, and serving U.S. public diplomacy in the region by sustaining the American Dream. Drawing on a range of archival and published sources and oral interviews conducted in Africa, this dissertation illuminates how immigration and American global power have shaped each other since the end of the Cold War. It traces the history of the lottery from its legislation in Washington to its operation in sub-Saharan Africa, where, transmitted by non-state actors, it shaped African perceptions of the United States. Sparked by the advocacy of undocumented Irish immigrants in the United States in the late 1980s, policymakers created the lottery as an instrument for legal migration outside of family, employment, and refugee admissions categories. Motivated by domestic politics, and aiming to make visas available to white Europeans shut out of the system since 1965’s Hart-Cellar Act, Congress embraced “diversity” to attract immigrants from countries underrepresented in the immigration stream. Once enacted, immigration attorneys and others amplified the program for personal profit, attracting eager applicants both within and outside of U.S. borders. The lottery was the subject of the world’s first internet spam in 1994, and its operation coincided with the global spread of internet cafés, which became, by the early 2000s, key sites of DV lottery participation and migration commercialization in Africa. The lottery provided a rare chance at geographic mobility for Africans after the end of the Cold War, making it powerful in the countries examined in this dissertation: Ghana, Nigeria, and Cameroon. As neoliberal reforms reconfigured many African states’ economies in the 1980s and 1990s, individuals sought increasingly to escape in search of greener pastures. Unlike other contemporary migration policies, the lottery unintentionally created a channel of legal access to the United States for Africans. Local entrepreneurs seized the visa lottery as an opportunity to profit from fellow Africans’ desperation and aspiration to depart. They transformed the abstract policy into a concrete possibility and promoted positive impressions of the United States as a land of “milk and honey,” reshaping African migrations and international relations in the process.

Full textAbstract:
En l’absence d’une définition consensuelle ou d’une essence évidente, ce à quoi il est fait référence lorsque nous employons le terme « journalisme » fait écho à une figure du passé, à une image antérieure, celle-ci constituant une sorte de jauge, un mètre étalon à partir duquel nous nous positionnons plus ou moins explicitement. Ce mètre étalon pèse fortement sur nos conceptions présentes. D’où la nécessité, pour y voir clair aujourd’hui, de mettre à jour le processus d’élaboration de l’objet « journalisme » à travers le temps, en étudiant le discours historiographique sur ce thème. C’est dans cette perspective qu’a été mobilisée la notion de « régimes d’historicités ». Plusieurs de ces régimes se superposent : de la référence fondatrice de la presse écrite, en passant par l’arrimage du journalisme avec l’idéal de l’instauration de la liberté politique au sein de l’espace public, jusqu’à l’émergence, relativement récente dans l’historiographie, d’un prisme « professionnel » portant notamment une attention particulière aux acteurs de la sphère journalistique. Loin d’être figés ou statiques, ces régimes d’historicité, toile de fond à partir de laquelle nous pensons actuellement le journalisme, sont remis en cause et réinventés par les questionnements liés aux évolutions récentes, principalement l’émergence d’Internet. En bousculant les référents anciens, ces évolutions actuelles déplacent en retour les cadres et les bases historiques qui sous-tendaient jusqu’ici l’analyse du journalisme, un tel glissement offrant un nouveau prisme (et peut-être un nouveau régime d’historicité) à la lecture des pratiques et des identités journalistiques contemporainesIn the absence of an accepted definition or an undeniable essence of what is being described by the term “journalism,” when it is used it seemingly refers to a figure or representation of the past which becomes a gauge against which current studies position themselves more or less explicitly. Such a standard weighs heavily on present-day conceptions of the press, which is why it has become necessary to study the process through which “journalism” has been constructed as an object of research, notably through the examination of historiographic discourse on the subject.It is for this reason that the notion of “cycles of historicity” has been developed. Several of these cycles overlap: references to the founding of the written press; perceptions of the grounding of journalism in the ideal of political liberty extended to the public sphere; relatively recent historiographical interpretations of journalistic “professionalism” which pay special attention to the actors in the field. These cycles of historicity are far from static or immobile; they provide the backdrop for the ways in which journalism is perceived, and which are now being called into question by the appearance of recent evolutions notably brought to light by the Internet. By shaking the foundations of former models, these evolutions are reshaping the framework of the historical analysis of journalism, thus offering new approaches and perspectives to the study of contemporary journalistic practices and identities – perhaps even opening the door to a new cycle of historicity

Full textAbstract:
The Internet has conferred many benefits, but it also has negative effects including addiction patterns termed “Internet addiction”. Many studies have been inclined to focus on discovering psychological symptoms. However, they have not usually considered young people’s relationships, which can themselves lead to Internet addiction. This study gathers the life experiences of young people with an ‘Internet addiction pattern’ in order to understand better their relationships and circumstances. South Korea was chosen as the main focus of this study. From the Foucauldian perspective, the relationships produce power in new ways, wherever they meet and whenever they talk, with knowledge through their abilities, topics or information. This knowledge may categorise peers according to status and ability to use the Internet. These factors activate a ‘power network’ in ‘their own world’. As a result, Internet addiction situation is interpreted as a loss of balance in using the Internet and the research findings demonstrate how this process is influenced by the development of a set of power relations between young people within ‘their own world’. The recommendations are included, mainly ways to participate in the young people’s concerns and to relate to their lives so as to understand the real situation and reduce the problems.

Abstract This master thesis examines the development of the Islamic discourse on Internet, by a research of the two Islamic expressions ummah and Islamic state. As a platform for the research is a discussion about 9/11 used, in which Giovanna Borradori interviews Jürgen Habermas and Jacques Derrida about terrorism in the modern time. The research has been made in two steps, the first research is made in December 2005 and the second in February 2015. In the first research is the examined words study in BBS’s and blogs, and in the second case is same expressions examined in Twitter. As analyse method is Hans- - George Gadamers displacement of perspective used, to understand the movements in the discourse and the development of Islamic use of Internet. Manuel Castells thoughts about the network society and his work about the power of communication are used as a theorem to understand the Internet and its development in the last decades. The conclusion of this work is pointing at a progression in the use of Internet as a tool for communication in the Islamic community, and a displacement of perspective from western society as the primary enemy, through an internal religious movement to a more diversified conflict among different Islamic groups. Keywords: Internet, E-jihadism,, network society, Islamic, ummah, Islamic state, Twitter, blogs, BBS’s, mediated history, modern history

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this dissertation was to investigate the feasibility of developing, delivering and outcome of the internet delivery of evidence based manualized intervention, for family members. Family members are often the ones to start feeling the negative effects of a loved one’s misuse of alcohol of drugs and service delivery though expanding to recognise the needs of family members, is not yet fully addressing these needs. The 5-Step Method which was developed based on the Stress-Strain- Coping-Support Model offers a way to work directly with family members in addressing their needs. There is evidence available suggests that when the 5-Step Method is delivered in other formats, in a variety of settings, by various health care professionals; that it does lead to positive changes for the family member. The challenge of the 5-Step Method therefore was to make it more widely available. The internet offers an option through which this intervention may be made available to family members. Results of the internet delivery of this intervention show that family members found it acceptable, easy to use, and helpful. It did lead to changes in the way family members cope, as well as reductions in the impact and symptoms. These results suggest that the internet is a viable medium for the delivery of this intervention for family members. The implications of these findings are further discussed with suggestions for future research.

Media & CommunicationPh.D.
The essential issue of this project is the relationship between the American people and their president. As technology changes, people adapt to new methods of communication which simultaneously allow them to connect with others and the wider world more easily and yet also separate themselves from others and the wider world more easily. The need for presidential candidates and sitting presidents to connect with citizens has led to the adoption of diverse media strategies that include traditional news initiatives with established journalists, face to face interaction with small groups of supporters, and visits to traditionally non-political entertainment-based venues. This dissertation research examines that last element of presidential-level communication: an embrace of entertainment forums for political purposes. This project is a necessary contribution to the field because there has not been a thorough and exclusive examination of the embrace of the entertainment-based venue by presidential campaigns guided by the thoughts of veterans of presidential campaigns themselves. Some scholars and journalists have partially analyzed this phenomenon as part of a larger examination of presidential communication strategy, but this specific element has largely been uninspected and has become especially relevant in the context of the presidency of Barack Obama, a trailblazer in the use of entertainment-based venues for political purposes, and in the context of presidential campaigns and administrations going forward. The 2016 presidential primaries have only made the purpose of this project more urgent because of the rise of Donald Trump, perhaps the ultimate example of the fusing of politics and entertainment. To understand the phenomena driving presidential campaigns to embrace entertainment-based venues, I conducted interviews with twenty-two veterans of presidential campaigns dating back to the 1980 election. Between them, these twenty-two political strategists have worked for five administrations – Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama – and a number of major campaigns in every election cycle since 1980, including the 2016 campaign. I also conducted two interviews with veterans of the most viewed entertainment platforms of the 1990s and 2000s: The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and The Late Show with David Letterman. These twenty-four interviews, including with one individual who worked for both a presidential campaign and a late night entertainment talk show, were conducted between March 2015 and February 2016 and included targeted questions and an oral history component. Presidential candidates have increasingly needed to stress the lighter sides of their personalities to appeal to a voting public fascinated by the horserace media coverage of presidential politics but largely uninterested in the minutiae of day-to-day policymaking. Slowly, sitting presidents have attempted to do the same but have had to balance revelation with the responsibilities of holding the highest office in the land. This project evaluates the implications of the moves that presidential campaigns and presidential administrations have made to become more accessible and connected with the citizenry in a constantly changing media environment. Based on the data collected through the interview process, his project offers a new theoretical underpinning for this media strategy based on a synthesis of role theory, the postmodern presidency theory, and technological determinism that allows for the significant influence of individual personality in the decision-making process and predicts how future campaigns will operate in this regard as media technology and American political culture evolve.

Este trabalho pretende utilizar e analisar a Internet como uma fonte para estudos sobre História da Cultura Escrita e da Leitura, que caracterizados pela aceleração do tempo e o pelo presentismo (HARTOG, 1996) propiciaram novas formas de ler e escrever na contemporaneidade. A partir dos comunicadores instantâneos (MIRC e MSN) e da rede social Orkut, foram mapeados e analisados novos protocolos de escrita e leitura entre os anos de 2001 e 2010, com destaque a novos mecanismos de sociabilidade que funcionam como mediadores para interação entre grupos que utilizam as redes sociais. Através do Orkut, o estudo centrou-se na análise de um grupo proveniente de uma comunidade intitulada Jovens Acima de 50 Anos , que após o encontro na rede social passou a se encontrar em eventos anuais presenciais entre os anos de 2 06 e 2010. Tal procedimento forneceu elementos para abordar aspectos da amizade no século XXI que caracterizam outras formas de sociabilidade no Tempo Presente. Nesta rede social - Orkut foi possível trabalhar as formas de construção de si e formas de musealização (HUYSSEN, 2000) do passado a partir da escrita de algumas mulheres participantes e que foram dadas a ler por meio dos seus álbuns e seus depoimentos disponíveis em forma digital. A interpretação desse material escrito e fotografado, disponível no Orkut, permitiu aproximações para pensar sobre o ato e as motivações para se relacionar entre si e para guardar/salvaguardar os materiais produzidos, nessa forma de suporte digital. Considerando sites e blogues como portadores de outros protocolos de leitura realizou-se uma análise mais concisa do blogue www.baudasil.blogspot.com, para perceber nessas novas escritas na rede, especialmente a presença dos diários pessoais na Internet. Foram discutidas as diferentes formas de exposição na rede e, mais detalhadamente, como o diário, passa de uma escrita de dentro para uma escrita de fora (CUNHA, 2009). Estes questionamentos são abordados na perspectiva da História do Tempo Presente, que possibilita pensarmos um passado-presente, onde os recuos e aproximações com as fontes são possibilitados pelas escolhas do historiador que problematiza este Presente

Full textAbstract:
Les migrations de femmes et d’hommes depuis le Maghreb vers la France est un processus historique ancien, remontant pour les Algériens à la fin du XIXème siècle et à la première moitié du XXème siècle pour les Marocains et les Tunisiens. Ces individus forment aujourd’hui une composante importante de la population française. Néanmoins, malgré la patrimonialisation de l’immigration, ces mémoires peinent à s’inscrire dans le récit collectif national. Dans ce contexte, la démocratisation de l’internet grâce à l’essor du web à la fin des années 1990, constitue un nouveau terrain d’expression pour des mémoires perçues comme délaissées. Média et moyen de communication, le web apparaît ainsi comme une nouvelle source pour l’étude des médiations mémorielles et des usages du passé. L’étude de ces dispositifs mémoriels implique une analyse des acteurs et de leurs stratégies de valorisation de la mémoire en ligne, mais aussi dans le champ social. Ce travail entend donc proposer une première histoire des mémoires de l’immigration maghrébine sur le web français à partir des archives du dépôt légal du web gérées par la Bibliothèque Nationale de France (BNF) et l’Institut National de l’Audiovisuel (INA). Il montre la complexité du processus de reconfiguration de la mise en visibilité des mémoires de l’immigration maghrébine. L’internet apparaît comme un nouveau support proposant des modes scénographiques inédits. Vecteur et reflet de l’amplification mémorielle, le web participe à la présentification de l’histoire en articulant le passé avec les logiques commémorativesThis thesis focuses on how the web is used as a privilege space to study how North African immigration memories. This is the first history PhD in France that primarily relies on French Web archives as a source. This one has not yet been integrated in the French collective memory in spite of recent institutional attempts to draw people’s attention back to this issue. This exclusion was and still is linked with many causes: the socio-economic situation of North African minorities in France, the taboo of the Algerian war as well as the unequal treatment by the media of the Maghreb population. Since the end of the 1990’s, in a context of competing memories, many websites have been recalling the immigration memories and have been asking for recognition from the French state. From a media history perspective, how can these memories be presented on the Internet? Moreover, how can the past be used to rectify and transform the present? In France, a historical approach to analyzing the web and its contents has started to develop: publishing strategies, temporalities, uses, internet history. This work would not have been possible without the existence in France, since 2006, of the Web legal deposit, which is shared by INA (Institut National de l’Audiovisuel) and the BNF (Bibliothèque Nationale de France). Thereby, along with traditional broadcast material, Web content can be considered for media history. The epistemological and methodological approaches remain to be devised. The composition and the scenario of some selected memory devices online are studying thanks to the French web archive from 1999 to 2014

Full textAbstract:
In this two year master’s thesis, using concepts borrowed from media archaeology, I examine the construction, content and function of the alternative historical narrative that is mediated through the partnership between Google and Belgian museum and archives centre the Mundaneum. This alternative narrative presents Belgian bibliographers Paul Otlet and Henri La Fontaine as having prefigured the Internet and as having created an analogue “paper Google.” Through a close-reading of publicly available material related to the Google/Mundaneum partnership, I examine a set of issues relating to the interplay of dominant and alternative narratives, to the narrative function of realized and imaginary media, and to the implicit messages that this particular narrative mediates. In the study, I find that the examined alternative narrative is constructed both in opposition to and with support from the dominant narrative, and that recognition from international actors is used in order to confirm Europe’s place in Internet history. Furthermore, I note a tendency in the text to confuse and to conflate different media technologies. I argue that this confusion renders the narrative more flexible and dynamic, making it possible to connect the media created by Otlet and La Fontaine to any modern technology. Finally, I find that, by attaching different connotations or “media imaginaries” to the media depicted, the texts are able to present knowledge organization as a medium for peace, the Mundaneum as an important actor in information society, and Google as a company with its roots dug deep in European soil.I den här masteruppsatsen diskuterar jag, utifrån begrepp lånade från mediearkeologi, det alternativa historiska narrativ som målas fram genom partnerskapet mellan Google och det belgiska museet och arkivet Mundaneum. Narrativet framställer de belgiska bibliograferna Paul Otlet och Henri la Fontaine som föregångare till Internet och uppfinnare till ett ”the paper Google.” Genom en närläsning av öppet tillgängligt material med anknytning till Google/Mundaneum-partnerskapet undersöker jag frågor som rör samspelet mellan dominerande och alternativa narrativ, verkliga och imaginära mediers narrativa funktion, och de implicita budskap som just detta narrativ förmedlar. I studien finner jag att det undersökta alternativa narrativet konstrueras både i motsats till och med stöd från det dominanta narrativet, och att erkännandet från internationella aktörer används för att bekräfta Europas plats i Internets historia.Jag noterar även en tendens i texten att blanda samman olika medieteknologier, och argumenterar för att denna förvirring i sig gör narrativet mer flexibelt och dynamiskt, och därmed gör det möjligt att sammankoppla medier skapade av Otlet och La Fontaine med vilken modern informationsteknologi som helst. Slutligen konstaterar jag att texterna, genom att fästa olika konnotationer eller “media imaginaries” vid de framställda medierna, framställer kunskapsorganisation som ett medium för fred, Mundaneum som en viktig aktör i informationssamhället och Google som ett företag med djupgående rötter i Europa.

Substantial evidence exists that vaccines are safe and effective at reducing the incidence of diseases like pertussis, measles and cervical cancer. However, on Internet parenting forums, parents discuss whether or not vaccination is the right choice for their children. In this thesis, I highlight the historical context of the anti-vaccine movement in mid 19th century to early 20th century Victorian Britain in the era of compulsory smallpox vaccination. Vaccination in this time was a very different and more overtly dangerous process, and preexisting dissenting movements took up anti-vaccination as a cause. Today, the rhetoric on Internet parenting forums has grown to include arguments of safety, efficacy and necessity of vaccination. I gathered much of the information from the mothering.com and mumsnet.com parenting forums, and other websites like Sanevax.org.
