Psychoanalysis and Digital Culture: Audiences, Social Media, and Big Data Johanssen Jacob

Psychoanalysis and Digital Culture offers a comprehensive account of our contemporary media environment--digital culture and audiences in particular--by drawing on psychoanalysis and media studies frameworks. It provides an introduction to the psychoanalytic affect theories of Sigmund Freud and Didier Anzieu and applies them theoretically and methodologically in a number of case studies.

Why are we so drawn to reality television?Why do we share certain things on social media and not others? How are bodies represented on social media?How do big data and data

Sick Note: A History of the British Welfare State Millward Gareth

Sick Note shows how the question of 'who is really sick?' has never been straightforward and will continue to perplex the British state.Sick Note is a history of how the British state asked, 'who is really sick?' Tracing medical certification for absence from work from 1948 to 2010, Gareth Millward shows that doctors, employers, employees, politicians, media commentators, and citizens concerned themselves with measuring sickness. At various times, each understood that a signed note from a doctor was not enough to 'prove' whether someone was really sick. Yet, with no better alternative on offer, the sick note survived in practice and in the popular imagination - just like the welfare state itself.Sick Note reveals the interplay between medical, employment, and social security policy. The physical note

Polyphonic Minds: Music of the Hemispheres Pesic Peter

An exploration of polyphony and the perspective it offers on our own polyphonic brains.Polyphony--the interweaving of simultaneous sounds--is a crucial aspect of music that has deep implications for how we understand the mind. In Polyphonic Minds, Peter Pesic examines the history and significance of "polyphonicity"--of "many-voicedness"--in human experience. Pesic presents the emergence of Western polyphony, its flowering, its horizons, and the perspective it offers on our own polyphonic brains.When we listen to polyphonic music, how is it that we can hear several different things at once? How does a single mind experience those things as a unity (a motet, a fugue) rather than an incoherent jumble? Pesic argues that polyphony raises fundamental issues for philosophy, theology, literature, psychology, and neuroscience--all searching for the apparent unity of
