Women's Voices in Digital Media
In today's digital era, women's voices are heard everywhere-from
smart home devices to social media platforms, virtual reality,
podcasts, and even memes-but these new forms of communication are
often accompanied by dated gender politics. In Women's Voices
in Digital Media , Jennifer O'Meara dives into new and
well-established media formats to show how contemporary screen
media and cultural practices police and fetishize women's voices,
but also provide exciting new ways to amplify and empower them.
As she travels through the digital world, O'Meara discovers
newly acknowledged-or newly erased-female voice actors from classic
films on YouTube, meets the AI and digital avatars in Her
and The Congress , and hears women's voices being
disembodied in new ways via podcasts and VR voice-overs. She
engages with dialogue that is spreading with only the memory of a
voice, looking at how popular media like Clueless and
The Simpsons have been mined for feminist memes, and
encounters vocal ventriloquism on RuPaul's Drag Race that
queers and valorizes the female voice. Through these detailed case
studies, O'Meara argues that the digital proliferation of screens
alters the reception of sounds as much as that of images, with
substantial implications for women's voices.

The end of cinema?
Is a film watched on a video screen still cinema? Have digital compositing, motion capture, and other advanced technologies remade or obliterated the craft? Rooted in their hypothesis of the \"double birth of media,\" André Gaudreault and Philippe Marion take a positive look at cinema's ongoing digital revolution and reaffirm its central place in a rapidly expanding media landscape.
The authors begin with an overview of the extreme positions held by opposing camps in the debate over cinema: the \"digitalphobes\" who lament the implosion of cinema and the \"digitalphiles\" who celebrate its new, vital incarnation. Throughout, they remind readers that cinema has never been a static medium but a series of processes and transformations powering a dynamic art. From their perspective, the digital revolution is the eighth major crisis in the history of motion pictures, with more disruptions to come. Brokering a peace among all sides, Gaudreault and Marion emphasize the cultural practice of cinema over rigid claims on its identity, moving toward a common conception of cinema to better understand where it is headed next.

The twenty-first-century media industry : economic and managerial implications in the age of new media
\"\"The Twenty-First-Century Media Industry is well worth reading not only for its broad scope but also for the timeliness of the chapters. Readers will come away with a clear conceptual map of the changing media landscape as well as a detailed understanding of the challenges of the years ahead in forging a new business model, or set of business models, for media operating in the digital age.\"---John V. Pavlik, Rutgers University\" \"The Twenty-First-Century Media Industry provides an intriguing examination into the role that new media technologies are having on the traditional media industry from a media management perspective. Consumers' behaviors and expectations are being shaped by new media technologies. They now expect information on demand and on the go as well as at their fingertips via the Internet. In order to stay relevant and competitive, traditional media managers and practitioners are developing new business models and new business philosophies. The volume contributors explore the business strategies being implemented by some media industries, such as newspapers, mobile phones, cinema, broadcasting, and the recording industry, which are struggling not only to remain competitive and profitable but simply to survive. The Twenty-First-Century Media Industry will be a valuable resource for those scholars interested in the emerging role of new media technologies and the new media industry as it evolves in the twenty-first century\"--BOOK JACKET.

Museums in a Digital Age
The influence of digital media on the cultural heritage sector has been pervasive and profound. Today museums are reliant on new technology to manage their collections. They collect digital as well as material things. New media is embedded within their exhibition spaces. And their activity online is as important as their physical presence on site.
However, 'digital heritage' (as an area of practice and as a subject of study) does not exist in one single place. Its evidence base is complex, diverse and distributed, and its content is available through multiple channels, on varied media, in myriad locations, and different genres of writing.
It is this diaspora of material and practice that this Reader is intended to address. With over forty chapters (by some fifty authors and co-authors), from around the world, spanning over twenty years of museum practice and research, this volume acts as an aggregator drawing selectively from a notoriously distributed network of content. Divided into seven parts (on information, space, access, interpretation, objects, production and futures), the book presents a series of cross-sections through the body of digital heritage literature, each revealing how a different aspect of curatorship and museum provision has been informed, shaped or challenged by computing.
Museums in a Digital Age is a provocative and inspiring guide for any student or practitioner of digital heritage.
