Digital Literary Studies: Corpus Approaches to Poetry, Prose, and Drama (Routledge Advances in Corpus Linguistics)
by Jonathan Culpeper Kieran O'Halloran David L. HooverDigital Literary Studies presents a broad and varied picture of the promise and potential of methods and approaches that are crucially dependent upon the digital nature of the literary texts it studies and the texts and collections of texts with which they are compared. It focuses on style, diction, characterization, and interpretation of single works and across larger groups of texts, using both huge natural language corpora and smaller, more specialized collections of texts created for specific tasks, and applies statistical techniques used in the narrower confines of authorship attribution to broader stylistic questions. It addresses important issues in each of the three major literary genres, and intentionally applies different techniques and concepts to poetry, prose, and drama. It aims to present a provocative and suggestive sample intended to encourage the application of these and other methods to literary studies. Hoover, Culpeper, and O’Halloran push the methods, techniques, and concepts in new directions, apply them to new groups of texts or to new questions, modify their nature or method of application, and combine them in innovative ways.

Digital Me: Trans Students Exploring Future Possible Selves Online (The American Campus)
by Z Nicolazzo Alden C. Jones Sy SimmsThe internet is where trans people have come to become. Creating an identity in digital space can be important for how trans people learn about themselves, their communities, and the possibilities available to them. While the internet and digital space is not the only way of coming to understand oneself in a community, it is a space of liberatory possibility and creativity. There is room to invent what may not yet exist for gender on the edges of what many consider to be “real.” For many, digital life can be the site of play, joy, and connection –even while the internet is not a harm-free space nor universally available. This book seeks to understand the complexities at play in the digital realm and the implications that have for gender, digital life, and higher education.
Digital Media and Learner Identity

Digital Media and Technology in Afterschool Programs, Libraries, and Museums
by Anne Balsamo Christo Sims Becky Herr Stephenson Dan Perkel Maura Klosterman Susana Smith Bautista Diana RhotenDigital media and technology have become culturally and economically powerful parts of contemporary middle-class American childhoods. Immersed in various forms of digital media as well as mobile and Web-based technologies, young people today appear to develop knowledge and skills through participation in media. This MacArthur Report examines the ways in which afterschool programs, libraries, and museums use digital media to support extracurricular learning. It investigates how these three varieties of youth-serving organizations have incorporated technological infrastructure and digital practices into their programs; what types of participation and learning digital practices support; and how research in digital media and learning can contribute to better integration of technology within and across these organizations. The authors review a range of programs (including the long-running Computer Clubhouse movement, established in 1993 in partnership with MIT's Media Lab), and then use the idea of "media ecologies" to investigate the role that digital media play (or could play) in these "intermediary spaces for learning." They call for less anecdotal, more empirical and methodologically sound studies to help us understand the affordances of digital media for learning within and across these programs; for research focused on the relationship between digital media and the effectiveness of youth-serving organizations; and for further study of schools within childhood media ecologies.

Digital Media in Education: Teaching, Learning and Literacy Practices with Young Learners
by Michelle CannonThis book argues for dynamic and relevant school experiences for primary and early secondary learners that embed digital media production. It proposes a vision of literacy that combines new technologies with multiple modes of meaning-making. Drawing on theories related to cultural studies, media literacy, anthropology, and creativity, the author explores learning strategies with digital media based on an empowering, values-driven framework. The book advances innovative teaching methods, critiquing educational ‘reforms’ that marginalise media and fail to engage with the complex tensions and textures of modern pedagogy. Positioning film and media-making as vital practices in schools that nurture the skills, dispositions and competencies of modern literacy, the model foregrounds connections between human agency, cognition, and creative practice. This innovative book will appeal to students and scholars of creativity, digital media production, primary education and literacy.
Digital Media, Culture and Education
by John Potter Julian McdougallThis book provides a critical commentary on key issues around learning in the digital age in both formal and informal educational settings. The book presents research and thinking about new dynamic literacies, porous expertise, digital making/coding/remixing, curation, storying in digital media, open learning, the networked educator and a number of related topics; it further addresses and develops the notion of a 'third space literacies' in contexts for learning. The book takes as its starting point the idea that an emphasis on technology and media, as part of material culture and lived experience, is much needed in the discussion of education, along with a criticality which is too often absent in the discourse around technology and learning. It constructs a narrative thread and a critical synthesis from a sociocultural account of the memes and stereotypical positions around learning, media and technology in the digital age, and will be of great interest to academics interested in the mechanics of learning and the effects of technology on the education experience. It closes with a conversation as a reflexive 'afterword' featuring discussion of the key issues with, amongst others, Neil Selwyn and Cathy Burnett.
Digital Monuments: The Dreams and Abuses of Iconic Architecture
by Simone BrottDigital Monuments radically explodes "iconic architecture" of the new millennium and its hijacking of the public imagination via the digital image. Hallucinatory constructions such as Rem Koolhaas’s CCTV headquarters in Beijing, Frank Gehry’s Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao and Zaha Hadid’s Performing Arts Centre in Abu Dhabi are all introduced to the world by immortal digital imagery that floods the internet—yet comes to haunt the actualised buildings. Like holograms, these "digital monuments," which violently push physics and engineering to their limits, flicker eerily between the real and the unreal—invoking fantasies of omnipotence, immortality and utopian cities. But this experience of iconic architecture as a digital dream on the ground conceals from the urban spectator the social reality of the buildings and the rigidity of their ideology. In 18 micro-essays, Digital Monuments exposes the stereotypes of iconic architecture while depicting the savagery of the industry, from the Greek and Spanish crises triggered by financialised iconic development to mass labour-deaths on construction sites in the UAE.
Digital Music Learning Resources: From Research to Educational Practice (SpringerBriefs in Education)
by Marcella Mandanici Simone Spagnol Luca Andrea Ludovico Adriano Baratè Federico AvanziniThis book offers an overview of the complex world of digital materials for music education and of their possible use in the everyday practice of music teachers. It presents a multidimensional taxonomy of digital materials for music education.

The book shows the use of this flexible and powerful knowledge tool for reviewing the digital materials in the various domains and dimentions. The book provides researchers and designers with an overview of what has already been designed, proposed and tested in the field. It also offers music teachers a wider perspective of the possibilities connected to current technologies in the field of music education, and it suggests possible interrelationships between research and music education practices.
Digital Natives zwischen Emanzipation und Konformität: Individuation im digital-medial geprägten Möglichkeitsraum der Adoleszenz (Adoleszenzforschung #14)
by Micha SchlichtingIn dieser Studie geht es um junge Menschen, die zur ersten Generation gehören, die in eine hochgradig digitalisierte und mediatisierte Welt hinein sozialisiert wird. Es geht darum zu erforschen, wie die Nutzung digitaler Medien mit den ihnen inhärenten Strukturen sich auf adoleszente Individuation auswirkt. Digitale Medien bieten den Jugendlichen mittels Präsenz und Form sowohl neuartige Möglichkeiten der Individuierung als auch Herausforderungen und Hemmnisse. Man könnte also sagen, sie bieten Adoleszenten einen medial erweiterten Möglichkeitsraum, der mit dem analogen psychosozialen Möglichkeitsraum der Adoleszenz auf je individuelle Weise verschwimmt und dessen mediale Form einerseits auf produktive und andererseits auch auf kontraproduktive Weise in den Prozess der adoleszenten Individuierung eingreifen kann. Digitale Medien können somit zur „Entstehung des Neuen in der Adoleszenz“ beitragen. Es werden typische Aneignungsweisen digitaler Medien im Prozess adoleszenter Individuierung rekonstruiert. Dabei wird den Fragen nachgegangen, inwieweit emanzipierende Potenziale für die Bewältigung adoleszenter Entwicklungsaufgaben entstehen können und ob auch ein Zusammenhang mit einer den Jugendlichen immer wieder zugeschriebenen Konformität bestehen kann.
