A decade of unbridled financial speculation has dramatically come to an end. The nook in the stream follows the stories of three characters on that historic day through a documentary film script. Meanwhile, four individuals experience the end of the Argentine Menem years from the perspective of unlimited and accelerated nightlife. As a result, worlds collide through economic crisis. This is a story that has never been told before, that takes place over a 10 year time scale, and explores the reality of global capitalist collapse with devastating... View Paper Paul R Carr Bookmarked by William Reynolds Call for Chapters (Book on Media, Democracy and Education) Description With the emergence of social and (potentially) participatory media 2.0 in a period of continued and increasing corporate control of the institutions and instruments of media comes a need to re-evaluate existing paradigms for teaching and learning about the impact and potential of media for democratic processes. The mainstream, corporate-controlled media undoubtedly continue to exert a powerful influence upon the thinking, agenda and actions of students and educators today; what we know, how we know it, and how we understand our identities, power, agency, change and society is...

It describes the dramatically changing social and technological contexts of communication and learning, develops a language with which to talk about representation and communication in educational contexts, and addresses the question of what constitutes appropriate literacy pedagogy for our times. View Paper Aneta Pavlenko Bookmarked by Ebony Elizabeth Thomas Superdiversity and why it isn't: Reflections on terminological innovation and academic branding (2016) The purpose of this chapter is to articulate the reasons for my unease with the concept of superdiversity, the affective rhetoric it is couched in and the process that transformed a newly coined word into 'a fact on the ground' and an academic brand. I will begin with an overview of processing features that differentiate academic slogans from bona fide academic terms. Next, I will examine branding strategies that made superdiversity a recognizable name in sociolinguistics. Then, I will consider the many meanings of superdiversity and argue that referential indeterminacy renders it...
