Much has been written about the function of narrative in virtual reality (VR) productions (Aylett & Louchart, 2003; Aylett et al, 2005; Ryan, 2001; 2005; 2008; 2009), but the role of the audience, and the relative degree of control that they have over the content, has led some scholars to believe that there is an ontological problem with describing VR in narrative terms. This article investigates some of these assumptions, via an analysis of an undertheorised aspect of VR that has emerged in recent years – the 360° film. It argues that 360° film represents a much more important aspect of VR than has been previously recognised. In so doing, the article establishes this medium as an important field of study, and argues that ultimately, it will be the commercial infrastructure for this content which will define the parameters of immersive storytelling. the of
关于叙事在虚拟现实(VR)制作中的作用已经有很多文章(Aylett & Louchart, 2003;Aylett et al, 2005;瑞安,2001;2005;2008;2009)，但观众的角色，以及他们对内容的相对控制程度，导致一些学者认为，用叙事术语描述VR存在本体论问题。本文通过分析近年来出现的虚拟现实理论不足的方面——360°电影，调查了其中的一些假设。该公司认为，360度电影代表了VR的一个更重要的方面，而不是之前所认识到的。通过这种方式，本文将这一媒介确立为一个重要的研究领域，并认为最终它将成为这一内容的商业基础设施，它将定义沉浸式故事叙述的参数。的

While the phenomenon of selfie photographs in the media has been extensively analysed by academics, Selfie Journalism was recently introduced and constitutes one of the most notable phenomena within the digital media environment, raising a number of issues relating to notions of infotainment and impartial reporting, especially in ‘difficult’ sectors, such as politics. This paper identifies the specific characteristics of Selfie Journalism in political reporting. Based on both quantitative and qualitative research, the study analyses these characteristics in the period of parliamentary elections of 2016 in Cyprus. The aim of the study is dual: first, to examine the extensive use of Selfie Journalism by candidates themselves in political campaigning and, secondly, to examine the impact of this phenomenon upon the media and, in turn, media engagement in such political tactics. The greater scope of this study evolves around the argument that Selfie Journalism, as a new species of participatory journalism, has penetrated the media in an effort to attract larger audiences.

This paper addresses the performance of bodies through a postphenomenological framework developed by Don Ihde. Through his theory, I will argue how performance is central to the stories of two recent interactive artworks: Dennis Del Favero’s Scenario (2011) and Blast Theory’s A Machine to See With (2010). Both artworks are distinct interactive narratives that utilize the human body in different ways. In each experience, it is essential for the user’s body to perform with a technology in order to move the story through a sequence of events. In doing so the user as a performing body co-authors the story by interfacing with a technology in a specific way. My readings of the artworks are based on interviews that I have conducted with each of the artists. I pair these accounts with Ihdeian analysis to explain how different types of technologies and different uses of a technology break down into different human-technology relationships. I use these relationships to show how the story in each artwork is mobilized through the body of the participant as a postphenomenological performance.
本文通过Don Ihde开发的后现象学框架来讨论身体的表现。通过他的理论，我将论证最近两件互动艺术作品(Dennis Del Favero的《Scenario》(2011)和Blast theory的《A Machine to See With》(2010))的故事是如何以表演为中心的。这两件作品都是独特的互动叙事，以不同的方式利用人体。在每一种体验中，为了让故事在一系列事件中发展，用户的身体必须配合某种技术。在这样做的过程中，用户作为一个表演主体，通过以一种特定的方式与技术进行交互，共同创作了这个故事。我对这些艺术品的解读是基于我对每位艺术家的采访。我将这些描述与伊德学派的分析相结合，以解释不同类型的技术和技术的不同用途是如何分解成不同的人与技术关系的。我用这些关系来展示每件艺术品中的故事是如何通过参与者的身体作为一种后现象学的表演被动员起来的。

This paper directs attention to the use of Instagram by political parties in the Swedish national elections in 2014. It investigates how political parties made use of Instagram-a platform centered around images-when engaging in interaction with their followers on the platform. Therefore, the paper analysis Instagram images including their captions and comments posts that Swedish parties have published four weeks prior to Election Day. A particular focus is on the deliberative potential of Instagram. The results suggest that not much changes on Instagram compared to other social media platforms: Political parties hardly used Instagram to interact with their followers and the few interactions taking place on parties Instagram accounts did not contribute to the exchange of relevant and substantive information about politics i.e., deliberation. Interaction and deliberation is also not enhanced by the images.

Use of social media by political parties has become a part of their communication strategies. In Catalonia, where around 20% of Internet users obtain political information through Facebook and Twitter, parties use these channels widely. This article has examined 814 posts, 5,772 comments, 52,470 likes and 25,907 shares from the official Facebook pages of Catalan parties in order to ascertain the relevance of the classical party characteristics party size, level of institutionalization, centralization of decision-making, position at the ideological cleavages on how parties and their followers behave on Facebook. The data sustain that the characteristics of Catalan parties have an influence on their posting behaviour on Facebook, and mould the reactions comments, likes and shares of their Facebook followers to these posts. The results further show that small and new parties achieve greater engagement than bigger and more institutionalized parties.
