Melissa Aronczyk’s Branding the Nation is a watershed moment for the field of nation brands research. Published by the highly respected Oxford University Press, it is the first critical monograph on the topic to achieve mainstream recognition, as evidenced by a review in the Times Higher Education supplement. Drawing on over a decade of research and advertising industry experience, 100 interviews with practitioners, and the analysis of thousands of pages of documents from 12 countries, Aronczyk promises a comprehensive deconstruction of the phenomenon of nation brands in the context of nationalism, neoliberalism, and 21st-century nationhood. This promise is only partly realized however, with the initial theory-building sections providing the main contributions to the field. (Less)
Melissa Aronczyk的《Branding the Nation》是民族品牌研究领域的一个分水岭。这本书由备受尊敬的牛津大学出版社出版，是第一本获得主流认可的关于这一主题的批判性专著，《泰晤士报高等教育增刊》的一篇评论就证明了这一点。通过十多年的研究和广告行业经验，对100位从业者的采访，以及对来自12个国家的数千页文件的分析，Aronczyk承诺在民族主义、新自由主义和21世纪国家地位的背景下全面解构民族品牌现象。然而，这一承诺只是部分实现，最初的理论建设部分为该领域提供了主要贡献。(少)

Apple’s wireless devices have become a critical entry point into the Internet. But unlike the broader Internet, which can be construed as a relatively open communications network, the iOS app store is arguably a closed technological ecosystem. Developers must gain Apple’s approval before distributing their apps through the store. Some have criticized the company’s app review and approval process for being opaque and arbitrary. This process has also resulted in the rejection of both explicitly and implicitly political apps. This article analyzes Apple’s guidelines and approval process, discusses content-based rejections of apps, and outlines the consequences of this process for developers’ and consumers’ freedom of expression. It also argues for principles that guarantee “app neutrality” while also guaranteeing device safety and quality control.

According to the perennial, popular collegiate yardstick/burden that is U.S. News & World Report, computer game design is one of the fastest growing curricula that college and universities are adding to satisfy the estimated $82.4 billion game industry by 2015 (Gearon, 2012). Obviously, there is a market and need for a book such as Game Invaders, but thankfully, its ambitions extend past vocational competencies. Beyond just showing expected undergraduate readers how to play with expensive modeling software, the University of Teesside authors challenge them to understand games as the intersection between creativity and technology. Game Invaders’ intention is to provide a pack of theories and models from which the reader can draw to better understand (and potentially create) computer games.
根据《美国新闻与世界报道》(U.S. News & World Report)的长期流行的大学衡量标准/负担，到2015年，电脑游戏设计是学院和大学为满足824亿美元的游戏产业而增加的增长最快的课程之一。显然，像《Game Invaders》这样的书是有市场和需求的，但值得庆幸的是，它的野心超越了职业能力。除了向本科生读者展示如何使用昂贵的建模软件之外，提赛德大学的作者还挑战他们将游戏理解为创造力和技术之间的交集。《Game Invaders》的目的是提供一系列理论和模型，帮助读者更好地理解(并可能创造)电脑游戏。

The role of ICTs in development is contested between those who believe they will facilitate human development and those who believe they are, at most, impotent, and at worst, counterproductive. This article uses an examination of M-PESA, a large-scale mobile financial service in Kenya, to argue that the impact of ICTs on development as freedom differs with both the specific conceptualization of freedom used, and the institutional arrangement of the technology in question. The article’s novel conceptual model links the adoption of mobile money to its impact, suggesting that the dominant individualistic and instrumental approaches to ICT4D overlook the ways in which power and domination function alongside freedom when these factors are considered relationally and substantively. I demonstrate that the internal plurality of the concept of freedom leads to both new forms of empowerment, but also to limitations on choice and new forms of dominance. In closing, I suggest institutional and technological arrangements that are most likely to maximize the development potential of mobile money.

This article describes social-organizational models that Mexican newspapers have evolved in response to competition from electronic media. The spot news model competes through simulation and cannibalization, and it is organized for efficiency. Its routine of speed and steep hierarchy keep newsroom credibility centralized among newspaper leaders, which makes it difficult for new sources to convince reporters to listen to them, and for reporters, in turn, to convince editors to publish new sources. The reportage model, in contrast, competes with electronic media through differentiation, emphasizing investigation and analysis over speed. Its newsroom is correspondingly organized according to a slower schedule and a flatter hierarchy. The reportage model therefore decentralizes newsroom credibility by allowing reporters the expertise and autonomy they need to put new sources into print. Though these two models represent simultaneous reactions to market competition, they have opposing effects on democratic journalism as measured by pluralism and accountability.

This article examines the evolution of media diversity policy concerns in response to the changing technological and institutional dynamics of the media environment. It identifies those diversity policy concerns that are receiving less attention from policymakers in light of ongoing technological and institutional changes (diminished), those that are transitioning from the traditional to the new media policy agenda (enduring), and those that have arisen as a result of ongoing technological and institutional changes (emergent). This article then outlines the contours of a diversity research agenda that would reflect and inform these concerns.
