Medienhandeln zwischen Kompetenz, Performanz und Literacy
by Christine W. Trültzsch-WijnenDas Buch diskutiert die soziale und individuelle Bedingtheit von Medienkompetenz. Im Mittelpunkt steht die Frage, wie sich das Medienhandeln von Individuen im Hinblick auf deren Medienkompetenz, im Sinne eines sicheren und selbstbestimmten Handelns im Umgang mit Medien, erklären und beurteilen lässt. Dies setzt eine Betrachtung des Medienhandelns vor dem Hintergrund der Beziehungen zwischen der Kompetenz zu Handeln, als Summe von Fähigkeiten, Fertigkeiten und Wissen sowie der kognitiven Beherrschung von Regeln des Verhaltens (moralische Regeln, rechtliche Regeln sowie Regeln der Klugheit), und der Performanz, als tatsächliches Handeln eines Individuums, voraus. Dabei wird auf theoretischer Ebene der Frage nach der sozialen Determinierung eines selbstbestimmten Handelns im Umgang mit Medien einschließlich dafür erforderlicher Fähigkeiten, Fertigkeiten sowie des damit verbundenen Wissens nachgegangen. Außerdem wird das Verhältnis des deutschsprachigen Medienkompetenzdiskurses zum internationalen Diskurs über media literacy erläutert. Es werden Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschiede herausgearbeitet und Potentiale für eine gegenseitige Befruchtung beider Perspektiven aufgezeigt. Darüber hinaus wird die empirische Relevanz und Anwendbarkeit dieser theoretischen Überlegungen anhand zweier Studien illustriert.

Medieval Manuscripts in the Digital Age (Digital Research in the Arts and Humanities)
by Benjamin AlbrittonMedieval Manuscripts in the Digital Age explores one major manuscript repository’s digital presence and poses timely questions about studying books from a temporal and spatial distance via the online environment. Through contributions from a large group of distinguished international scholars, the volume assesses the impact of being able to access and interpret these early manuscripts in new ways. The focus on Parker on the Web, a world-class digital repository of diverse medieval manuscripts, comes as that site made its contents Open Access. Exploring the uses of digital representations of medieval texts and their contexts, contributors consider manuscripts from multiple perspectives including production, materiality, and reception. In addition, the volume explicates new interdisciplinary frameworks of analysis for the study of the relationship between texts and their physical contexts, while centring on an appreciation of the opportunities and challenges effected by the digital representation of a tangible object. Approaches extend from the codicological, palaeographical, linguistic, and cultural to considerations of reader reception, image production, and the implications of new technologies for future discoveries. Medieval Manuscripts in the Digital Age advances the debate in manuscript studies about the role of digital and computational sources and tools. As such, the book will appeal to scholars and students working in the disciplines of Digital Humanities, Medieval Studies, Literary Studies, Library and Information Science, and Book History.
Mediterranean Cities and Island Communities: Smart, Sustainable, Inclusive and Resilient (Progress in IS)
by Anastasia Stratigea Dimitris KavroudakisThis book addresses the issue of smart and sustainable development in the Mediterranean (MED) region, a distinct part of the world, full of challenges and risks but also opportunities. Above all, the book focuses on smartening up small and medium-sized cities and insular communities, taking into account their geographical peculiarities, the pattern of MED urban settlements and the abundance of island complexes in the MED Basin. Taking for granted that sustainability in the MED is the overarching policy goal that needs to be served, the book explores different aspects of smartness in support of this goal’s achievement. In this respect, evidence from concrete smart developments adopted by forerunners in the MED region is collected and analyzed; coupled with experiences gathered from successful, non-MED, examples of smart efforts in European countries. More specifically, current research and empirical results from MED urban environments are discussed, as well as findings from or concerning other parts of the world, which are of relevance to the MED region. The book’s primary goal is to enable policymakers, planners and decision-making bodies to recognize the challenges and options available; and make to more informed policy decisions towards smart, sustainable, inclusive and resilient urban and regional futures in the MED.

Mega Man 3 (Boss Fight Books)
by Salvatore PaneCapcom's Keiji Inafune followed the unexpected success of Mega Man 2 with a kitchen sink sequel that included eight new robot masters, a canine companion, a mysterious new frenemy, and a melancholy tone that runs through the game from its soft opening notes. Mega Man 3 was the biggest, messiest, and most ambitious Mega Man game yet. But why do we hunger for twitchy, difficult platformers like Mega Man 3 decades later when the developers, the franchise, and the Blue Bomber himself have all moved on? Investigating the development of the Mega Man series alongside the rise of video game emulation, the YouTube retrogaming scene, and the soaring price of NES carts, novelist Salvatore Pane takes a close and compelling look at the lost power-ups of our youth that we collect in our attempts to become complete again.
