From Big Bang to Big Data : A History of the Media
- 2023
-
Bok (refereegranskat)abstract
- More than just newspapers, television, and social networks, media are the means by which any information is communicated, from cosmic radiation traces to medieval church bells to modern identity documents. Cultures are held together as much by bookkeeping and records as they are by stories and myths. From Big Bang to Big Data is a long history of the media – how it has been established, used, and transformed from the beginning of recorded time until the present. It is not primarily a story of revolutions and innovations, but of continuities and overlaps that reveal surprising patterns across history. Many media were invented as ways to store and share information, and many have served as powerful tools for administration and control. The concerns raised about media today, whether about privacy, piracy, or anxieties over declining cultural standards, preoccupied earlier generations too. In a playful style, accompanied by more than one hundred illustrations, the authors show us how every society has been a media society in its own way. From antique graffiti to last year’s viral YouTube clip, the past is only approachable through media. From Big Bang to Big Data provides a new way of thinking about media in history – and about human societies past and present.

Organisationsteori för mediemedarbetare
- 2014
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Journalistiskt arbete och redaktionellt ledarskap har genomgått stora förändringar under det senaste decenniet. Medieföretagen och deras medarbetare har ställts inför utmaningar i form av ny teknik, nya medieformer, ökad konkurrens om annonsörer och publik, föråldrade betalningsmodeller samt förändrade mönster i människors medieanvändning. För att hantera dessa omvälvande förändringar krävs att verksamheten anpassas efter de nya förutsättningarna och att det redaktionella utvecklingsarbetet präglas av hög kvalitet – en ekvation som fordrar både kompetenta medarbetare och professionella ledare. Organisationsteori för mediemedarbetare är en introduktion till organisationsteori med särskilt fokus på svenska medieorganisationer. Innehållet kretsar kring fyra olika områden: • hur medieorganisationers struktur ser ut och hur organisationens olika delar hänger samman • hur organisationskulturen tar sig uttryck och vad denna kultur har för betydelse för den redaktionella verksamheten • vilken funktion ledarskapet fyller för verksamheten och hur ledarskapsforskningen ser ut • hur medarbetarskap och gruppdynamik utvecklas på en arbetsplats. Boken är lämplig både för studerande på journalistutbildningar och medie- och kommunikationsvetenskapliga utbildningar och för yrkesverksamma journalister som vill öka sin kunskap om organisationsstruktur, kultur, ledarskap och medarbetarskap i redaktionella miljöer.

Gender and Sexuality in Online Game Cultures : Passionate Play
- 2012. - 1
-
Bok (refereegranskat)abstract
- How do gender and sexuality come to matter in online game cultures? Why is it important to explore "straight" versus "queer" contexts of play? And what does it mean to play together with others over time, as co-players and researchers?Gender and Sexuality in Online Game Cultures is a book about female players and their passionate encounters with the online game World of Warcraft and its player cultures. It takes seriously women’s passions in games, and as such draws attention to questions of pleasure in and desire for technology.The authors use a unique approach of what they term a "twin ethnography" that develops two parallel stories. Sveningsson studies "straight" game culture, and makes explicit that which is of the norm by exploring the experiences of female gamers in a male-dominated gaming context. Sundén investigates "queer" game culture through the queer potentials of mainstream World of Warcraft culture, as well as through the case of a guild explicitly defined as LGBT.Academic research on game culture is flourishing, yet feminist accounts of gender and sexuality in games are still in the making. Drawing on feminist notions of performance, performativity and positionality, as well as the recent turn to affect and phenomenology within cultural theory, the authors develop queer, feminist studies of online player cultures in ways that are situated and embodied.

Profession möter management. Den journalistiska värdegrundens förhandling på svenska morgontidningar.
- 2018
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Villkoren för redaktionellt ledarskap och journalistiskt arbete har genomgått omfattande förändringar under 2000-talet. Omstruktureringar, neddragningar och nya samarbetsformer har inneburit stora utmaningar för många tidningsredaktioner. I spåren av denna omvandling har också följt en allt tydligare managementdiskurs, där styrning, effektivitet och mätbarhet utgör centrala beståndsdelar. Frågor har väckts om hur den journalistiska värdegrunden och autonomin egentligen påverkas av ökad styrning på redaktionen. Boken Profession möter management söker ta ett samlat grepp om situationen på svenska morgontidningar. Genom intervjuer med redaktionernas medarbetare studeras hur dessa upplever samspelet mellan styrning och autonomi i det dagliga arbetet. I fokus ligger förhandlingen om den journalistiska värdegrunden och hur förhandlingen rent praktiskt tar sig uttryck på redaktionen. Tre centrala teman urskiljs i studiens resultat: de kommersiella drivkrafternas ökade betydelse för det redaktionella arbetet; den yttre och den inre förhandlingen mellan professionella ideal och redaktionell praktik; samt, den villkorade autonomin. Bokens författare är docent Ulrika Andersson, filosofie master Amanda Waldenström och docent Jenny Wiik – samtliga verksamma vid Institutionen för journalistik, medier och kommunikation (JMG) vid Göteborgs universitet.

The Assault on Journalism. Building knowledge to protect freedom of expression
- 2017
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- People who exercise their right to freedom of expression through journalism should be able to practice their work without restrictions. They are, nonetheless, the constant targets of violence and threats. In an era of globalization and digitization, no single party can alone carry the responsibility for protection of journalism and freedom of expression. Instead, this responsibility must be assumed jointly by the state, the courts, media companies and journalist organizations, as well as by NGOs and civil society - on national as well as global levels. To support joint efforts to protect journalism, there is a growing need for research-based knowledge. Acknowledging this need, the aim of this publication is to highlight and fuel journalist safety as a field of research, to encourage worldwide participation, as well as to inspire further dialogues and new research initiatives. The contributions represent diverse perspectives on both empirical and theoretical research and offer many quantitatively and qualitatively informed insights. The articles demonstrate that a new important interdisciplinary research field is in fact emerging, and that the fundamental issue remains identical: Violence and threats against journalists constitute an attack on freedom of expression. The publication is the result of collaboration between the UNESCO Chair at the University of Gothenburg, UNESCO, IAMCR and a range of other partners.

Spotify teardown : inside the black box of streaming music
- 2019
-
Bok (refereegranskat)abstract
- An innovative investigation of the inner workings of Spotify that traces the transformation of audio files into streamed experience. Spotify provides a streaming service that has been welcomed as disrupting the world of music. Yet such disruption always comes at a price. Spotify Teardown contests the tired claim that digital culture thrives on disruption. Borrowing the notion of "teardown" from reverse-engineering processes, in this book a team of five researchers have playfully disassembled Spotify's product and the way it is commonly understood. Spotify has been hailed as the solution to illicit downloading, but it began as a partly illicit enterprise that grew out of the Swedish file-sharing community. Spotify was originally praised as an innovative digital platform but increasingly resembles a media company in need of regulation, raising questions about the ways in which such cultural content as songs, books, and films are now typically made available online. Spotify Teardown combines interviews, participant observations, and other analyses of Spotify's "front end" with experimental, covert investigations of its "back end." The authors engaged in a series of interventions, which include establishing a record label for research purposes, intercepting network traffic with packet sniffers, and web-scraping corporate materials. The authors' innovative digital methods earned them a stern letter from Spotify accusing them of violating its terms of use; the company later threatened their research funding. Thus, the book itself became an intervention into the ethics and legal frameworks of corporate behavior.
