Supportive Conversations on Facebook Timelines Discourse Topic Management

Supportive Conversations on Facebook Timelines Discourse Topic Management

The emergence of social networking sites like Facebook and people’s engagement with one another through them is a relatively under-researched area for discourse analysis. The content of the book revolves around Discourse Topic Management which is under the theme of Discourse Analysis. It is written to extend the very limited literature in the area of Discourse Topic especially for the discourse which takes place on social networking sites. This study discusses the characteristics of topical actions employed by English language teachers and their Facebook Friends in managing supportive conversations which take place on Timelines. In addition to employing new strategies enabled by the particular features of the site the teachers and their Friends also creatively adapt the strategies used in face-to-face conversations to manage their online conversations thus contributing to the emergence of unique characteristics of discourse topic management in the context of social networking sites. The book brings together the existing frameworks of Discourse Topic Management which are previously applied in the context of face-to-face conversations and synthesizes the frameworks for a more comprehensive model into examining the conversations which take place on Facebook Timelines. The novelty of this book lies in its synthesized framework the recontextualization of the framework for online conversations and the theoretical extension based on the data analysis presented in each chapter. Since people’s engagement with social networking sites is an emerging behaviour this timely book provides insights into the phenomenon and also proposes a comprehensive analytical framework for other researchers interested in similar contexts. | Supportive Conversations on Facebook Timelines Discourse Topic Management

Government collapsing? Zombies hunting you down? Everyone you know killed by a global epidemic? Not to worry! Economics holds the keys to survival. Often known as the dismal science it is particularly equipped to reveal order in what seems like chaos. Economists observe human behaviour: what leads us to take action and the subsequent consequences. However the choices made by individuals are not made in isolation; they influence and are influenced by the actions of others. A set of rules even if unwritten guides human behaviour. Foundational economic principles stand firmly in place even when society is breaking down and an understanding of these basic tenets of societies is essential to surviving the end of the world as we know it. In this book the authors draw from popular culture to show economic principles at work in the dystopian societies depicted in The Walking Dead Mad Max: Fury Road The Hunger Games Divergent A Clockwork Orange and Last Man on Earth. In each society its members face resource and social constraints that incentivize particular behaviours and lead to predictable outcomes. How does human behaviour change when resources are severely limited the legal system breaks down or individual freedom is stifled? The examples presented here shed an eerie light on the principles that guide our actions every day. Dystopia and Economics: A Guide to Surviving Everything from the Apocalypse to Zombies provides a user-friendly introduction to economics suitable for a general audience as well as devoted students of the discipline. | Dystopia and Economics A Guide to Surviving Everything from the Apocalypse to Zombies

Ways of Attending How our Divided Brain Constructs the World

Ways of Attending How our Divided Brain Constructs the World

Attention is not just receptive but actively creative of the world we inhabit. How we attend makes all the difference to the world we experience. And nowadays in the West we generally attend in a rather unusual way: governed by the narrowly focussed target-driven left hemisphere of the brain. Forget everything you thought you knew about the difference between the hemispheres because it will be largely wrong. It is not what each hemisphere does – they are both involved in everything – but how it does it that matters. And the prime difference between the brain hemispheres is the manner in which they attend. For reasons of survival we need one hemisphere (in humans and many animals the left) to pay narrow attention to detail to grab hold of things we need while the other the right keeps an eye out for everything else. The result is that one hemisphere is good at utilising the world the other better at understanding it. Absent present detached engaged alienated empathic broad or narrow sustained or piecemeal attention has the power to alter whatever it meets. The play of attention can both create and destroy but it never leaves its object unchanged. How you attend to something – or don’t attend to it – matters a very great deal. This book helps you to see what it is you may have been trained by our very unusual culture not to see. | Ways of Attending How our Divided Brain Constructs the World
