Lev Manovich's book, The Language of New Media from 2001, has a specific angle when looking at new media. Manovich looks at new media through the lens of visuals and cinematic code: "the visual culture of a computer age is cinematographic in its appearance". Manovich uses the term “language” to describe “emergent conventions, design patterns and key forms of new media” (Manovich, 2001, pg. 38). This book focuses on how new media has already developed rather than the future of it. The book is well
William Miller SVA MFA Bob Bowen Spring 2016 Lev Manovich’s Software Takes Command is the genealogy of software and an account of the effect that it’s had on all of us. This includes what he calls the “softwarization” of media which started with taking existing media and replicating its function using software to “create, store, distribute and access cultural artifacts.” Over the last 30 years our old media technologies such as record/cassette/CD players, film cameras, VHS, DVD, floppy disks have
New media is referred to the process of distributing and exhibiting content instead of producing it, which is firstly summarized by Manovich (2001, p43). After stepping into digital era, the concept of new media commonly shows up in many scenarios and gradually became the mainstream force leading the digital economy. Considering China as a representative example, new media applications such as WeChat, QQ, Weibo are dominant components form its fast booming digital economy. Nevertheless, comparison

Counselling is a term used for a developed relationship that exists through dialogue between a therapist and client. The fundamental purpose of counselling is for the therapist to help the client to overcome problems or learn to cope. Within the context of the Skilled Helper, Egan’s (2001) ‘help’ is a learned experience in human behaviour that progresses through a client/helper relationship addressing both the problem-situations and missed opportunities that clients encounter.

While a mother was escaping an abusive relationship in search of welfare assistance, she took her thirteen-year-old daughter along with her. “Genie,” as she was called, intrigued the social worker in the welfare office. She was mesmerized by Genie’s posture, size, and stance. Curiously enough, the worker thought Genie might have been a case of unreported autism in a possible six- to seven-year-old (Rymer 1993). As a result, the worker notified her supervisor, who contacted the police. When Genie
It is evident that in society how the media is playing a major role in influencing the formation of gender stereotypes in the minds of children and adults. Effortlessly a person might come across a TV show or an article which is targeted toward a specific race and ethnicity by depicting stereotypes of others. While surfing the internet, I came across an article on a blog known as Elite Daily. Elite Daily is known as a sexist blog targeted towards young men. The site used gender stereotypes in order

In relation to the observation, it could be stated that Child Z’s Dad is more willing to let her try things for herself, as he is her parent. An example of this could be when Child Z appears to be unsure about crossing a weaved rope bridge, but her Dad encourages her to try it alone. He does this despite the potential risk of her falling over or becoming overwhelmed and scared (15-16). Following this, Child Z does fall over, however she gets up and continues with no fuss (17-18). It is probable that
Lev Vygotsky is considered by many educational researchers as one of the most influential figures in fields of human developmental and educational psychology. His theories follow the belief that true education is not just the learning of information, but also the development of children’s learning abilities. Abilities such as their capability to think clearly, plan, and communicate their understanding (Karimnia, 2010). Vygotsky was born in 1896 to Jewish parents in what is now present day Ukraine
The film Memento is classified as a Detective film of a Baroque genre stage. Many aspects of the film relating to the plot, the characters, and how it was edited show evidence to that fact. One of the ways in which the movie differs from other films of the same genre is that the main character, Leonard, is trying to solve the mystery but he has a memory impairment which makes it difficult for him to remember what his mission is. His condition makes it so that in this movie he is essentially trying

Cognitive Growth and Language Development -- A discussion of Jack’s cognitive development can be started in the foundations of Piaget’s preoperational thinking. Piaget lists the significant advances made in language development at this stage. As well, Jack is applying symbolic function which allows him to express his thoughts beyond just repeating what he hears, now his words stand for something that cannot be seen. At this place of preoperational thinking, children can make up a story. Jack is
A major question that is continuously being researched and observed is whether children’s play is beneficial to children’s development. While many scientists have proved that play is, in fact, helpful in the development of children, I want to research how the different types of play affect children’s development, specifically children that are transitioning from late infancy to toddlerhood. The four different types of play that I will focus on observing is exploratory and manipulative play, functional
sequence in Battleship Potemkin directed by Sergei Eisenstein in 1925. The theory of montage has 5 parts to it which I will discuss in detail further on with reference to the Odessa steps sequence. History also plays an important part as to how Pudovkin, Lev Kuleshov and D. W Griffiths influenced Eisenstein to look deeper into editing. Eisenstein gained the knowledge on how editing film could change the emotional impact on the audience through shot size, shot variation, tempos and lengths of a shot and
analysed and elucidated how children learn during the course of their schooling years. There are copious amounts researchers that not only have influenced the lives children and their development but also the teaching dynamics of today’s education. Lev Vygotsky left a prime impression within society as his notions about learning swiftly became prevalent and were used to contribute to “Constructivism” as a manner of teaching to support the diversity of students within the classroom. Vygotsky believed
a number of theories tie into these learning experiences. The new skill I chose to learn for our assessment was to play the piano, I was not quite confidant and sure I would successfully achieve the skill. Balakrishnan & Claiborne (2012) touch on Lev Vygotsky’s term The More Knowledgeable Other (MKO), a person who has a higher ability and deeper understanding of a task, than the person who is learning the task. In my case my piano teacher was the MKO and was using her knowledge to assist me with
What Is Constructivism Watching a young child grow from infancy to toddler hood, we marvel at the amount of learning that has allowed her to understand her expanding environment. Those early years provide the basis for language, physical dexterity, social understanding, and emotional development that she will use for the rest of her life. All of this knowledge is acquired before she even sets foot in school! This child has taught herself by gathering information and experiencing the world
There are numerous theories of play and countless theorists, from Freud and Spencer to Piaget and Vygotsky, who have studied play in relation to what it is and what it does for the child. This essay will outline the definition and value of play and the importance of how it can foster the child’s learning in regards to these theorists who studied the effects in great detail. It will discuss the how the environments constructed by educators can impact play and the theories of learning relating to the
