The cultural logic of postmodernity is encrusted with artistic layers and forms of oral art in their new horizons of usage and in their neo-oralities of performance within the pressures of cultural change and continuity arising from contemporary existence. The discursive and performative limits of oral art forms are dismantled due to the surging interface with the new media, such that transitional models and cross-cultural versions of the same artistic product are created. The pressures of urbanization, the mixed bag of hybridization and globalization, postmodern social pressures and values, and the strides made by science and technology have created neo-oralities, new horizons, and fresh or hybrid versions with which to interrogate Tiv oral artistic products in this digital age, opening up endless vistas and possibilities for oral products. This essay examines the new horizons, versions, and neo-oralities as they create synergy and meanings in the various media of technology. Also highlighted are the dismantled boundaries of the discipline and the discursive limits of oral artistic forms within the developmental trajectory of disciplines, artists, societies, and countries. Finally, a theoretical construct is called for to match the new trends, along with an appeal for greater research attention to be paid to this increasingly important interface with the pressures of change as they help shape culture and art forms.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to propose Neo-Durkheimian institutional theory, developed by the Durkheimian institutional theory, as developed by anthropologist Mary Douglas, as a suitable theory base for undertaking cross-cultural accounting research. The social theory provides a structure for examining within-country and cross-country actions and behaviours of different groups and communities. It avoids associating nations and cultures, instead contending any nation will comprise four different solidarities engaging in constant dialogues. Further, it is a dynamic theory able to take account of cultural change. Design/methodology/approach The paper establishes a case for using neo-Durkheimian institutional theory in cross-cultural accounting research by specifying the key components of the theory and addressing common criticisms. To illustrate how the theory might be utilised in the domain of accounting and finance research, a comparative interpretation of the different experiences of financialization in Germany and the UK is provided drawing on Douglas’s grid-group schema. Findings Neo-Durkheimian institutional theory is deemed sufficiently capable of interpreting the behaviours of different social groups and is not open to the same criticisms as Hofstede’s work. Differences in Douglasian cultural dialogues in the post-1945 history of Germany and the UK provide an explanation of the variations in the comparative experiences of financialization. Originality/value Neo-Durkheimian institutional theory has been used in a wide range of contexts; however, it has been little used in the context of accounting research. The adoption of the theory in future accounting research can redress a Hofstedian-bias in accounting research.

This article examines whether participatory media such as Flickr, with its seemingly unfettered tools for mapping citizen-created photographs, offers a means for a more comprehensive representation of minorities in a non-Western country. Assessment of geotags – markers designating longitude and latitude on an online map – associated with photographs of Thailand’s Muslims suggests that by replicating common stereotypes, user-generated content may be limiting rather than opening up discourses about minorities and that citizen participation via new media tools is more constrained and less free than commonly believed.

Education era 4.0 requires output that has top 10 skills 2020. One of the strategies needed in era 4.0 education is a Self Access Center (SAC) that focuses on children's self reliance in learning in elementary school. SAC is one of exploration of children's reliance independently in developing capabilities needed in the industrial era 4.0. The purpose of this study was to describe the reliance of children in learning an elementary school through a SAC in developing top 10 skills 2020. The method used in this study was descriptive qualitative. The results of the analysis show that the SAC can contribute. This is indicated by the achievement of the SAC has reached seven out of ten top skills, namely sense making, social intelegence, cross cultural competency, novel and adaptive thinking, transdiciplinary, computational thinking, and new media literacy and to be able to adjust to top 10 skills 2020 a better strategy is needed to achieve 10 skills with cognitive load management, design mindset and virtual collaboration.

Alternative Spaces

Artists have long engaged with digital and networked technologies in critical and creative ways to explore both new art forms and novel ways of disseminating artworks. Net-based artworks are often created with the intent to circulate outside traditional institutional spaces, and many are shared via artist-run platforms that involve curatorial practices distinct from those of museums or commercial galleries. This article focuses on a particular artist-run platform called Paper-Thin, characterizing the activities involved in managing the platform as digital curation in a polysemous sense – as both the curation of digital artworks and the stewardship of digital information in a complex technological ecosystem. While scholars and cultural heritage professionals have developed innovative preservation strategies for digital and new media artworks housed in institutional collections, the ongoing care of artworks shared through networked alternative spaces is largely carried out co-operatively by the artists and curators of these platforms. Drawing on Howard Becker’s sociological theory of art worlds as networks of co-operative actors, this article describes the patterns of co-operative work involved in creating, exhibiting, and then caring for Net-based art. The article outlines the importance, for cultural heritage professionals, of understanding the digital-curation practices of artists, as these artist-run networked platforms demonstrate emergent approaches to the stewardship of digital culture that move beyond a custodial paradigm.

Middle Iron Age

This chapter analyzes coins and writing in late prehistoric Europe. The development of coinage in temperate Europe and the first regular signs of writing are innovations that share some important features. Both were introduced from outside the region, specifically from the Mediterranean world, toward the end of the Middle Iron Age. Although both had existed in the Mediterranean world for centuries before their introduction and adoption in temperate Europe, both appear in temperate Europe at about the same time, during the third century BC and more abundantly during the second and first centuries. They were both adopted at a particular time in Europe's developmental trajectory, and under specific economic and political circumstances.
