RESUMO: Criou-se um imenso mundo virtual de informação, a partir do advento da Internet. Neste universo prático da informação, disponível a qualquer instante, somaram-se ambientes tramados para interligar as pessoas. A leitura, especialmente a literária, além da escrita numa velocidade espantosa, modificadas e dispostas nos mais diversos formatos, alteraram-se, consideravelmente, e atualmente ler não é mais como antigamente. Dos rolos impressos às telas digitais, o leitor utiliza artefatos diferenciados para o contato com a leitura. De forma não linear, tem-se, portanto, uma infinidade de opções para se completar o processo de leitura de um texto, agora também disposto no meio eletrônico. Virar a página atualmente corresponde a um diferente formato quando acionada pelo toque na tela ou do mouse. Neste artigo, optou-se por refletir brevemente acerca da leitura nas telas, o formato do texto eletrônico e sua textualidade digital. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: leitura; textualidade; texto eletrônico; leitor.   ABSTRACT: An immense virtual world of information has been created from the advent of the Internet. In this practical universe of information, available at any time, we have added environments designed to interconnect people. Reading, especially literary, as well as writing at an astonishing speed, modified and arranged in the most diverse formats, have changed considerably, and nowadays reading is no longer as it was in the past. From the rolls printed to the digital screens, the reader uses differentiated artifacts for the contact with reading. In a non-linear way, we have, therefore, an infinity of options to complete the process of reading a text, now also available in the electronic medium. Currently turning the purchased page corresponds to a different format when triggered by touching the screen or the mouse. In this article we have chosen to reflect briefly on the reading on the screens, the format of the electronic text and its digital textuality..   KEYWORDS: reading; textuality; electronic text; reader.

Over the past decade, ASMR (Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response) has emerged from whisper-quiet corners of the Internet to become a bullhorn of speculation on the human sensorium. Many consider its sonically induced “tingling” to be an entirely novel, and potentially revolutionary, form of human corporeality—one surprisingly effective in combating the maladies of a digitally networked life: insomnia, anxiety, panic attacks, and depression. Complicating these claims, this article argues that ASMR is also neoliberal repackaging of what Marx called the reproduction of labor power. Units of these restorative “tingles” are exchanged for micro-units of attention, which YouTube converts to actual currency based on per-1,000-view equations. True to the claims of Silvia Federici and Leopoldina Fortunati, this reproductive labor remains largely the domain of women. From sweet-voiced receptionists to fawning sales clerks (both of whom are regularly role-played by ASMRtists), sonic labor has long been a force in greasing the gears of capital. That it plays a role in production is a matter that ASMRtists are often at pains to obscure. The second half of this article performs a close reading of what might be considered the very first ASMR film: Chantal Akerman’s Jeanne Dielman, 23 quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles. Through this film, the exploitative dimensions of ASMR can be contrasted with its potential for creating protected spaces of financial independence and nonnormative corporeal practices.

Youth Vote

This paper examines a few of the numerous factors that may have led to increased youth turnout in 2008 Election. First, theories of voter behavior and turnout are related to courting the youth vote. Several variables that are perceived to affect youth turnout such as party polarization, perceived candidate difference, voter registration, effective campaigning and mobilization, and use of the Internet, are examined. Over the past 40 years, presidential elections have failed to engage the majority of young citizens (ages 18-29) to the point that they became inclined to participate. This trend began to reverse starting in 2000 Election and the youth turnout reached its peak in 2008. While both short and long-term factors played a significant role in recent elections, high turnout among youth voters in 2008 can be largely attributed to the Obama candidacy and campaign, which mobilized young citizens in unprecedented ways.

Stereotypical Image

AbstractIn the 2016 Abiola Lecture, Mbembe argued that “the plasticity of digital forms speaks powerfully to the plasticity of African precolonial cultures and to ancient ways of working with representation and mediation, of folding reality.” In her commentary, Pype tries to understand what “speaking powerfully to” can mean. She first situates the Abiola Lecture within a wide range of exciting and ongoing scholarship that attempts to understand social transformations on the continent since the ubiquitous uptake of the mobile phone, and its most recent incarnation, the smartphone. She then analyzes the aesthetics of artistic projects by Alexandre Kyungu, Yves Sambu, and Hilaire Kuyangiko Balu, where wooden doors, tattoos, beads, saliva, and nails correlate with the Internet, pixels, and keys of keyboards and remote controls. Finally, Pype asks to whom the congruence between the aesthetics of a “precolonial” Congo and the digital speaks. In a society where “the past” is quickly demonized, though expats and the commercial and political elite pay thousands of dollars for the discussed art works, Pype argues that this congruence might be one more manifestation of capitalism’s cannibalization of a stereotypical image of “Africa.”

Contested Narratives

This article explores the role of remembering and history in the process of planning new spaces. We trace how the organizational remembering of past spaces enters the conception (i.e. planning) of a large culture center. By drawing on Henri Lefebvre’s reflections on history, time and memory, we analyze the processual interconnections of his spatial triad, namely between the planned, practiced, and lived moments of the production of space. We find that over time space planning involves recurrent, changing, and contested narratives on ‘lost spaces’, remembering happy spaces of the past that articulate a desire to regain them. The notion of lost space adds to our understanding of how space planning involves, through organizational remembering, a sociomaterial and spatiotemporal work of relating together different spaces and times in non-linear narratives of repetition.

Abstract Medication management is an ongoing consideration for adults ages 85 and older, their caregivers, and healthcare providers. When asked about their attitudes and behaviors regarding medication management, over 73% of the Lifestyle Leaders reported taking 3+ prescription medications daily and managing their own medication regimes. 61.9% of participants had taken over-the-counter, non-prescription medication for pain over the past five years. When asked why some participants didn’t currently take prescription medications to manage pain, the most frequently-reported responses were: “I don’t feel that my pain warrants a prescription medication,” (19%, n=8), “I don’t want to deal with the side effects,” and “I don’t trust drug companies,” (9.5%, n=4, respectively). The Lifestyle Leaders reported they would be most likely to go to the internet (over their local pharmacist) to ask for advice about their medication(s). Meanwhile, 39% of Lifestyle Leaders would trust a robot to manage their medication(s) for them.

Conversion, Palinody, Traces

Non Linear

Taking three terms which represent different ways of relating to experience, time, and narration, this chapter proposes attention to what remains, in the form traces, against the pressure of conversion which requires, instead, a complete break with the past. Traces are here understood as vestiges or footprints, with literal and metaphorical implications inspired by Sigmund Freud’s reading of Gradiva’s footsteps in his essay on Jensen’s novel, and followed back to Beatrice’s footsteps in Vita Nova and Inferno. Just as Freud understands Pompeii as a symbol of a force which is at once destructive and preservative—in other words, repression—, so this chapter shows that palinody in Dante is a mechanism that conserves as well as hides. The resultant understanding of Dante’s works is volcanic as well as non-linear.

By analyzing the current situation of experimental platforms which is based on the Internet of Things (IOT) and the cultivation of talents, we established the talents' cultivating orientation and experiment platform for innovation. In accordance with the requirements of a students' practical and creative ability curriculum, the method of modularization was adopted to design this platform. With this, the platform can basically satisfy the needs of the varying teaching experiments, which can increase opportunities for the students on their comprehensive application. The platform was widely used in experimental and practice teaching in the past three years, such as synthetic experiment, graduate programs, and practice project in Zhongkai University of Agriculture and Engineering, Guilin University of Technology etc. Result shows that the innovation experimental platform has broad application prospects, and effectiveness to meet the requirements of students' in-depth learning and research of IOT technologies. Meanwhile, the platform expanded the students' basic understanding of IOT and improved their innovation.
