The Culture of Connectivity studies the rise of social media in the first decade of the twenty-first century up until 2012, providing both a historical and a critical analysis of the emergence of major platforms in the context of a rapidly changing ecosystem of connective media. Such history isneeded to understand how these media have come to profoundly affect our experience of online sociality. The first stage of their development shows a fundamental shift. While most sites started out as amateur-driven community platforms, half a decade later they have turned into large corporations that do not justfacilitate user connectedness, but have become global information and data mining companies extracting and exploiting user connectivity. Author and media scholar Jose van Dijck offers an analytical prism to examine techno-cultural as well as socio-economic aspects of this transformation. She dissects five major platforms: Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, YouTube, and Wikipedia. Each of these microsystems occupies a distinct position in the larger ecology of connective media, and yet, their underlying mechanisms for coding interfaces, steering users, and filtering content rely on shared ideological principles. At the level ofmanagement and organization, we can also observe striking similarities between these platforms' shifting ownership status, governance strategies, and business models.Reconstructing the premises on which these platforms are built, this study highlights how norms for online interaction and communication gradually changed. "Sharing," "friending," "liking," "following," "trending," and "favoriting" have come to denote online practices imbued with specific technological and economic meanings. This process of normalization, the author argues, is part of a larger political and ideological battle over information control in an online world where everything is boundto become social. Crossing lines of technological, historical, sociological, and cultural inquiry, The Culture of Connectivity will reshape the way we think about interpersonal connection in the digital age. 606 $aRedes sociales$2LOCAL 606 $aSociedad$2LOCAL 608 $aLibros electrónicos$2LOCAL 615 17$aRedes sociales 615 27$aSociedad 676 $a302.30285 700 $aDijck$b Jose van$0781437 801 0$bStDuBDS 801 1$bStDuBDS 801 2$bStDuBDSZ 801 2$bUkPrAHLS 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452846103321 996 $aThe culture of connectivity$91919798 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02607nam 2200661 a 450 001 9910462502303321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a0-8232-3996-9 010 $a0-8232-4634-5 035 $a(CKB)2670000000275471 035 $a(EBL)3239753 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000756496 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11463360 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000756496 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10751004 035 $a(PQKB)11563673 035 $a(StDuBDS)EDZ0000124801 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3239753 035 $a(OCoLC)818827891 035 $a(MdBmJHUP)muse14144 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL3239753 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10611569 035 $a(OCoLC)923764069 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000275471 100 $a20120611d2013 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aOn becoming God$b[electronic resource] $elate medieval mysticism and the modern Western self /$fBen Morgan 205 $a1st ed. 210 $aNew York $cFordham University Press$d2013 215 $a1 online resource (319 p.) 225 0$aPerspectives in continental philosophy 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a0-8232-3992-6 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $aSome recent version of mysticism -- Empty epiphanies in modernist and postmodernist theory -- The gender of human togetherness -- Histories of modern selfhood -- Meister Eckhart's anthropology -- Becoming God in fourteenth-century Europe -- The makings of the modern self -- Taking leave of Sigmund Freud -- Everyday acknowledgments. 330 8 $aDo we have to conceive of ourselves as isolated individuals inevitably distanced from other people and from whatever we might mean when we use the word 'God'?
