(your laptop, your iPhone, your thermostat . . . your home). With this as a basic frame-of-reference, James J. Brown?s Ethical Programs examines and explores the rhetorical potential and problems of a hospitality ethos suited to a new era of hosts and guests. Brown reads a range of computational strategies and actors, from the general principles underwriting the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), which determines how packets of information can travel through the internet, to the Obama election campaign?s use of the power of protocols to reach voters, harvest their data, incentivize and, ultimately, shape their participation in the campaign. In demonstrating the kind of rhetorical spaces networked software establishes and the access it permits, prevents, and molds, Brown makes a significant contribution to the emergent discourse of software studies as a major component of efforts in broad fields including media studies, rhetorical studies, and cultural studies. 410 0$aDigital humanities (Ann Arbor, Mich.). 606 $aInternet$xMoral and ethical aspects 606 $aFreedom of information 615 0$aInternet$xMoral and ethical aspects. 615 0$aFreedom of information. 676 $a174.9005 700 $aBrown$b James J., Jr.$0291068 801 2$bUkMaJRU 912 $a9910289345803321 996 $aEthical programs$92029308 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04157nam 2200649 450 001 9910789110703321 005 20230803201943.0 010 $a1-78350-486-2 035 $a(CKB)3710000000092630 035 $a(EBL)1649385 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001211497 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11713773 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001211497 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)11203922 035 $a(PQKB)10360365 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1649385 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL1649385 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10845715 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL580295 035 $a(OCoLC)873141835 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000092630 100 $a20140322h20142014 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 14$aThe big four and the development of the accounting profession in China /$fby Paul Gillis 205 $aFirst edition. 210 1$aBingley, England :$cEmerald Group Publishing Limited,$d2014. 210 4$dİ2014 215 $a1 online resource (362 p.) 225 1 $aStudies in the Development of Accounting Thought,$x1479-3504 ;$vVolume 16 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a1-78350-485-4 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $aFRONT COVER; THE BIG FOUR AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE ACCOUNTING PROFESSION IN CHINA; COPYRIGHT PAGE; CONTENTS; ACKNOWLEDGMENTS; LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS; LIST OF TABLES; 1.
