DOCTORAL
THESIS

English abstract

Material Matters in Co-designing Participation in design is broadening, and there is a movement away from designing to co-designing. They are related, but the little co- makes them different organizational and socio-material practices. Practically, co-designing typically takes place in multidisciplinary, distributed, complex projects, where people – and invited materials – only occasionally meet, align and make each other act, in the situation at quite explicitly staged co-de...

Digital rhetoric and poetics: Signifying strategies in electronic lit...
Memmott, Talan : Faculty of Culture and Society, Malmö University Dissertation series in New Media, Public Spheres and Forms of Expression, Faculty of Culture and Society, Malmö University;2 (2011)	DOCTORAL THESIS

English abstract

The dissertation explores computational and media-based signifying strategies in electronic literature from the point of view of reading, writing, programming and design, with a focus on the rhetoric and poetics of heavily mediated, multi-modal digital artifacts. With the introduction of images, animations, audio, and the procedural into the area of literary practice it is perhaps no longer sufficient to consider electronic literature within the domain of traditional concepts ...

Melin, Margareta : JMG, University of Göteborg Göteborgska studier i journalistik och masskommunikation;51 (2008)	DOCTORAL THESIS

English abstract	The aim of the dissertation is to explore the way journalism works in two social fields of journalism, those of Britain and Sweden, from 1989 to 2002. The focus of the study is on creation and re-creation of value systems, power-struggles, and on their gendered nature. The dissertation is placed in the theoretical crossroads of sociology of journalism, feminism and cultural studies and this theoretical abduction process is summarised in the concept journalism culture. The tools ...

Pretend that it is Real! Convergence Culture in Practice
Denward, Marie : Faculty of Culture and Society, Malmö University Dissertation series in New Media, Public Spheres, and Forms of Expression, Faculty of Culture and Society, Malmö University;1 (2011)	DOCTORAL THESIS

English abstract	Media convergence has mainly been defined and explained as a technological and industrial phenomenon; as the process where new technologies are accommodated by existing media and communication industries and their cultures of production. One consequence of convergence in today’s hybrid media landscape is that the previously distinct borders between production and consumption have become blurred. This means that convergence also takes place as a bottom-up social process initiated ...
Swedish abstract	Mediekonvergens definieras och förklaras oftast som en teknisk och industriell företeelse, som den process där ny teknik anpassas till den befintliga medieindustrin och dess produktionskulturer. I dagens hybrida medielandskap kan mediekonvergens också beskrivas som den sociala process och de aktiviteter som medieanvändare deltar i när de rör sig mellan olika medier i jakt på underhållning och erfarenheter. Mediekonvergens kan alltså bättre förklaras som en dubbelriktad process dä...

Complicated Shadows: The Aesthetic Significance of Simulated Illumina...
Niedenthal, Simon : Blekinge Technical University Blekinge Institute of Technology doctoral dissertation series;10 (2008)	DOCTORAL THESIS

English abstract

A common feature of many digital games is that they are played in a simulated 3D environment, a game world. Simulated illumination is the lighting designed into a game world. This thesis explores the influence of simulated illumination in digital games upon the emotion and behavior of the player. It does so within the context of game aesthetics, building upon an understanding of games as having the potential to evoke an aesthetic experience that is deeply absorbing, is experience...
