Aesthetic Understanding

In the 21st century, which is called the digital age, documentary cinema has undergone many changes in terms of both content and form. Apart from being a display medium, interfaces and screens have become spheres where the narrative is constructed. Thus, the production and viewing dimensions of documentary films have changed and traditional narrative documentaries have started to be replaced by interactive documentaries. In these documentaries, the director becomes the designer and the viewer becomes the participant/user. In this context, Walter Benjamin’s approach to epic theater, which he believes is compatible with new technical forms and is the culmination of technology, is the starting point of this study. Because especially since the early 1960s, Bertolt Brecht’s understanding of epic theater has influenced directors and shaped their understanding of filmmaking. The directors who wanted to make the audience feel that the images they see in a film were made with designed decorations, used Brecht's aesthetic understanding to destroy mimesis and break identification. In this context, Seven Digital Deadly Sins (2014), which is an example of an interactive documentary developed with new communication technologies and opens the door to different possibilities for the director and the audience, is evaluated through Bertolt Brecht's understanding of epic theater.

Everyday Resistance

Over the past decades, waves of political contention involving the use of information and communication technologies have swept across the globe. The phenomenon stimulates the scholarship on digital communication technologies and contentious collective action to thrive as an exciting, relevant, but highly fragmentary and contested field with disciplinary boundaries. To advance the interdisciplinary understanding, Shifting Dynamics of Contention in the Digital Age outlines a communication-centered framework that articulates the intricate relationship between technology, communication, and contention. It further prods us to engage more critically with existing theories from communication, sociology, and political science on digital technologies and political movements. Given the theoretical endeavor, Shifting Dynamics of Contention in the Digital Age systematically explores, for the first time, the influence of mobile technology on political contention in China, the country with the world’s largest number of mobile and Internet users. Using first-hand in-depth interview and fieldwork data, it tracks the strategic choice of mobile phones as repertoires of contention, illustrates the effective mobilization of mobile communication on the basis of its strong and reciprocal social ties, and identifies the communicative practice of forwarding officially alleged “rumors” as a form of everyday resistance. Through this ground-breaking study, Shifting Dynamics of Contention in the Digital Age presents a nuanced portrayal of an emerging dynamics of contention—both its strengths and limitations—through the embedding of mobile communication into Chinese society and politics.

Active Generation

Youth are coming of age in a digital era and learning and exercising citizenship in fundamentally different ways compared to previous generations. Around the globe, a monumental generational rupture is taking place that is being facilitated—not driven in some inevitable and teleological process—by new media and communication technologies. The bulk of research and theorizing on generations in the digital age has come out of North America and Europe; but to fully understand the rise of an active generation requires a more inclusive global lens, one that reaches to societies where high proportions of educated youth live under conditions of political repression and economic exclusion. The Middle East and North Africa (MENA), characterized by authoritarian regimes, surging youth populations, and escalating rates of both youth connectivity and unemployment, provides an ideal vantage point to understand generations and power in the digital age. Building toward this larger perspective, this article probes how Egyptian youth have been learning citizenship, forming a generational consciousness, and actively engaging in politics in the digital age. Author Linda Herrera asks how members of this generation who have been able to trigger revolt might collectively shape the kind of sustained democratic societies to which they aspire. This inquiry is informed theoretically by the sociology of generations and methodologically by biographical research with Egyptian youth.

Purpose Starting from the premises that IoT applications can be used in museums as an aid to visiting systems, the aim of this research is to see how recommendation systems can be developed to provide advanced services to museum visitors. Design/methodology/approach The research methodology employs a qualitative exploratory multi-case study: the method used has consisted in crossing the information currently known on the most advanced communication technologies (ICT) with the requirements of enhancing museum services, in order to determine the possible trajectories of applying the former to the latter Findings The implementation of recommender system outlines the main implications and effects of an advanced market-driven digital orientation, as the system’s users are the starting point for innovation and the creation of value. For a museum, it will be possible to access to an additional system of knowledge alongside that of its scientific staff. This process has profound implications in the way in which a museum presents itself and how it is perceived by its visitors and, in a wider sense, by the potential demand. Research limitations/implications Our paper consists in an exploratory effort to introduce an analytical framework for an evolved adaptive museum orientation system; the empirical investigation can be structured in the inductive-predictive view of assessing this promising debate further. Originality/value Implementing the IoT blueprint entails introducing a plethora of new products, services and business models, opening new routes to guide and direct cultural events. Now, more than ever, sustainable development involves an intrinsic balancing act between the pluralism of data and that of customer needs, which is achieved through the elaboration of digital data.

Quo Vadis

This article focuses on a case study of primary schools in the northern peripheral region in Israel. Its aim is acquiring insights into the influence of principals as educational leaders of meaningful use of information and communication technologies (ICT) in teaching and learning. The data source in this study is qualitative based on personal interviews with 6 school principals and 9 teachers. The conclusion arising from these interviews was that school principals’ areas of responsibility are anchored in leading teaching, educational and learning processes, molding schools’ future image – vision and managing change, leading, and professionally developing staff, while concentrating on in individuals, managing links between schools and communities. School leaders do not need to be IT experts, but it is important they have the vision to adopt change reform in the technological era of the 21st century. Principals are role models for teachers when they provide them with support and training to encourage them to employ ICT in planning their lessons. which is likely to improve their teaching and students’ learning.
