Online Collaborative Translation in China and Beyond: Community, Practice, and Identity (Routledge Advances in Translation and Interpreting Studies)
by Chuan YuIn this original and innovative work, Yu boldly tackles the increasingly influential collaborative translation phenomenon, with special reference to China. She employs the unique perspective of an ethnographer to explore how citizen translators work together as they select, translate, edit and polish translations. Her area of particular interest is the burgeoning yet notably distinctive world of the Chinese internet, where the digital media ecology is with Chinese characteristics. Through her longitudinal digital ethnographic fieldwork in Yeeyan, Cenci and other online translation platforms where the source materials usually come from outside China, Yu draws out lessons for the various actors in the collaborative translation space, focusing on their communities, working practices and identities, for nothing is quite as it seems. She also theorises relationships between the actors, their work and their places of work, offering us a rich and insightful perspective into the often-hidden world of collaborative translation in China. The contribution of Yu’s work also lies in her effort in looking beyond China, providing us with a landscape of collaborative translation in practice, in training, and in theory across geographic contexts. This volume will be of particular interest to scholars and postgraduate students in translation studies and digital media.

Online Harassment (Human–Computer Interaction Series)
by Jennifer GolbeckOnline Harassment is one of the most serious problems in social media. To address it requires understanding the forms harassment takes, how it impacts the targets, who harasses, and how technology that stands between users and social media can stop harassers and protect users. The field of Human-Computer Interaction provides a unique set of tools to address this challenge. This book brings together experts in theory, socio-technical systems, network analysis, text analysis, and machine learning to present a broad set of analyses and applications that improve our understanding of the harassment problem and how to address it. This book tackles the problem of harassment by addressing it in three major domains. First, chapters explore how harassment manifests, including extensive analysis of the Gamer Gate incident, stylistic features of different types of harassment, how gender differences affect misogynistic harassment. Then, we look at the results of harassment, including how it drives people offline and the impacts it has on targets. Finally, we address techniques for mitigating harassment, both through automated detection and filtering and interface options that users control. Together, many branches of HCI come together to provide a comprehensive look at the phenomenon of online harassment and to advance the field toward effective human-oriented solutions.
Online Hate Speech in the European Union: A Discourse-Analytic Perspective (SpringerBriefs in Linguistics)
by Stavros Assimakopoulos Fabienne H. Baider Sharon Millar Natalie Alkiviadou César Arroyo López Pablo Bernardino Tempesta Tatsiana Chulitskaya Anna Constantinou Klaus Geyer Łukasz Grabowski Uladzislau Ivanou Monika Kopytowska Roberto Moreno López Rasmus Nielsen Valentina Oliviero Anastasia Petrou Ernesto Russo Rebecca Vella Muskat Anna Vibeke Lindø Georgia Whitaker Julita WoźniakThis open access book reports on research carried out as part of the European Union co-funded C.O.N.T.A.C.T. project which targeted hate speech and hate crime across a number of EU member states. It showcases the bearing that discourse analytic research can have on our understanding of this phenomenon that is a growing global cause for concern.Although ‘hate speech’ is often incorporated in legal and policy documents, there is no universally accepted definition, which in itself warrants research into how hatred is both expressed and perceived. The research project synthesises discourse analytic and corpus linguistics techniques, and presents its key findings here. The focus is especially on online comments posted in reaction to news items that could trigger discrimination, as well as on the folk perception of online hate speech as revealed through semi-structured interviews with young individuals across the various partner countries.

Online Intercultural Exchange: Policy, Pedagogy, Practice (Routledge Studies in Language and Intercultural Communication)
by Tim Lewis Robert O'DowdThis volume provides a state of the art overview of Online Intercultural Exchange (OIE) in university education and demonstrates how educators can use OIE to address current challenges in university contexts such as internationalisation, virtual mobility and intercultural foreign language education. Since the 1990s, educators have been using virtual interaction to bring their classes into contact with geographically distant partner classes to create opportunities for authentic communication, meaningful collaboration and first-hand experience of working and learning with partners from other cultural backgrounds. Online exchange projects of this nature can contribute to the development of learner autonomy, linguistic accuracy, intercultural awareness, intercultural skills and electronic literacies. Online Intercultural Exchange has now reached a stage where it is moving beyond individual classroom initiatives and is assuming a role as a major tool for internationalization, intercultural development and virtual mobility in universities around the globe. This volume reports qualitative and quantitative findings on the impact of OIE on universities in Europe and elsewhere and offers comprehensive guidance on using OIE at both pedagogical and technological levels. It provides theoretically-informed accounts of Online Intercultural Exchanges which will relevant to researchers in Computer Assisted Language Learning, Computer-Mediated Communication, or Virtual Education. Finally, contributors offer a collection of practitioner-authored and practically-oriented case studies for the benefit of teachers of foreign languages or in other subject areas who wish to engage in developing the digital literacy and intercultural competences of their learners.

Online Journalism: A Critical Primer
by Jim HallOnline journalism is revolutionising the way news is reported and read. The rise of the internet has forever changed the way audiences interact with the news – stories are posted the moment they break and readers routinely expect to be able to access both the news sources and local perspectives. Online news and the pattern of media ownership raise a number of urgent questions about accuracy, press autonomy, freedom of speech and economic exclusion. *BR**BR*Jim Hall provides a comprehensive guide to the emerging field of cyberjournalism and examines the issues it raises. Looking at how interactive texts are both written and read, the book surveys the new technologies and conventions that online journalism has ushered in. The author uses case studies such as Monicagate and the war in Kosovo to illustrate both the opportunities and the limitations of cyberjournalism.*BR**BR*It is designed as a text to introduce how cyberjournalism works and how it can be used in innovative ways.

Online Journalism in Africa: Trends, Practices and Emerging Cultures (Routledge Advances in Internationalizing Media Studies)
by Hayes Mawindi Mabweazara Okoth Fred Mudhai Jason WhittakerVery little is known about how African journalists are forging "new" ways to practise their profession on the web. Against this backdrop, this volume provides contextually rooted discussions of trends, practices, and emerging cultures of web-based journalism(s) across the continent, offering a comprehensive research tool that can both stand the test of time as well as offer researchers (particularly those in the economically developed Global North) models for cross-cultural comparative research. The essays here deploy either a wide range of evidence or adopt a case-study approach to engage with contemporary developments in African online journalism. This book thus makes up for the gap in cross-cultural studies that seek to understand online journalism in all its complexities.

Online-Kommunikation für Zielgruppen mit einem nachhaltigen Lebensstil: Zielgruppenansprache am Beispiel der LOHAS im Lebensmitteleinzelhandel (BestMasters)
by Karin WeissingerKarin Weissinger beschreibt anhand der LOHAS, wie Personen mit einem nachhaltigen Lebensstil als Zielgruppen im Internet verortet werden können, denn diese sind für Unternehmen hochattraktiv. Nachhaltigkeit ist omnipräsent und kein Unternehmen kann es sich leisten, auf nachhaltige Themen zu verzichten. Die Autorin geht daher den Fragen nach, wie die adäquate Ansprache gestaltet sein muss, welche Implikationen diese Zielgruppen auf die Online-Kommunikation von Unternehmen haben und wie der Eindruck von „Greenwashing“ vermieden werden kann.
Online-Kommunikation von Bundestagsabgeordneten: Politiker im Neuland
by Christoph BlankMit einer komplexen statistischen Analysestrategie gelingt es Christoph Blank, das selektive politische Online-Kommunikationsverhalten von Bundestagsabgeordneten valide zu erklären. Zugleich erweitert er mit seinem Ergebnis die gängigen Abgeordnetentypologien aus der Abgeordneten-Soziologie. Sein Forschungsinstrumentarium und seine differenzierten Befunde aus einer schriftlichen Befragung von 208 MdB im Jahr 2009 bieten sich als Grundlagen für spezielle Folgestudien an. „Selbstvermarktung“ ist das Primärmotiv von Bundestagsabgeordneten bei der Nutzung digitaler politischer Kommunikationsmöglichkeiten. Einwegkommunikation bestimmt überwiegend ihre Netzaktivitäten. Interaktions- und Partizipationsangebote offerieren sie den Bürgern eher selten.
