  • Web Detection Methods for Contextual Interpretation of Image Collections

    Open Access•Janna Joceli Omena, A Briones et al.•ARTICLE•AoIR Selected Papers of Internet…•2026

    This paper introduces the innovative use of web detection to overcome a methodological challenge in visual media analysis within social media research and Internet studies. Traditional approaches often depend on manual coding of top-ranked images or examining individual images, lacking the integration of web-based knowledge. This study employs web detection methods utilizing image search ranking mechanisms and knowledge graphs for data retrieval …

    Open Access•Andrea Ballatore, Susan Rodger et al.•ARTICLE•Environment and Planning B Urban…•2024

    This paper investigates the geography of Facebook use at an urban-regional scale, focussing on place-named groups, meaning various interest groups with names relating to places such as towns, neighbourhoods, or points of interest. Conceptualising Facebook as a digital infrastructure – that is, the platform’s urban footprint, in the form of its place-named groups, rather than what individuals share and create using the service – we explore the loc…

  • Seeing the City Digitally

    Open Access•Angela Million, Christian Haid et al.•BOOK•Seeing the City Digitally•2022•Citada por: 5•Referencias: 44

    The argument that many cities are now digitally mediated is an increasingly familiar one.The social, experiential and physical spaces of a city are more and more often designed, defined, navigated and experienced with digital data shared with platforms.But from its app icon to its interface to its advertising campaigns, every platform deploys a wide range of imagery, and most successful social media platforms are based on sharing images.This book…

  • Localizing Content Moderation

    Open Access•Susan Rodger, Scott Rodgers et al.•ARTICLE•AoIR Selected Papers of Internet…•2021

    This paper contributes to the burgeoning literature on content moderation by focusing on its practice in relation to localized social media contexts, an area which remains under-researched. It makes two key contributions. Firstly, it presents the results of a study on moderation practices in relation to place-named Facebook groups across Greater London. Drawing on in-depth interviews with administrators and moderators from 16 Facebook groups, we …

  • The duality of platforms as infrastructures for urban politics

    Susan Rodger•ARTICLE•Communication and Critical/Cultural…•2021•Citada por: 2•Referencias: 6

    Scholarship has recently sprouted up around the notion of “platform urbanism.” In this article, I outline an approach to the specifically communicative politics emerging through, and in relation to, platform infrastructures by drawing on research and observations in London, UK. Defending a phenomenological perspective, which sidesteps an a priori definition of platforms or infrastructures, I put forward a way of thinking about the experiential du…

  • Classification Schemes Gone Awry

    Open Access•Urmila Mohan, Susan Rodger et al.•ARTICLE•Museum Anthropology•2021•Referencias: 10

    Classification schemes for collecting, studying, and displaying objects in museum contexts are power-filled forms of knowledge in Foucauldian senses. When such typologies are imprecise or, more harmfully, misleading or forthrightly mistaken, a museum's collecting practices, curatorial interpretations, and exhibition display decisions can go astray and obscure the social structural and ideological processes that produced the objects in the first p…

  • "Refugee Love" in a College Art Gallery

    Open Access•Susan Rodger, Susan Rodgers•ARTICLE•Museum Anthropology•2021•Citada por: 3•Referencias: 15

    Refugees are often mischaracterized as either "threats" to their new nations of resettlement or as remarkably virtuous, resilient "survivors" of harsh expulsions from their home countries and difficult years in refugee camps. Both imageries fall short of forced migrants' actual lives and stories. Museums' display practices and their interpretations of "refugee arts" can easily fall into stereotypes, especially sugary, positive ones. This case stu…

  • Initial teacher education and trauma and violence informed care in the classroom

    Open Access•Susan Rodger, Richelle Bird et al.•ARTICLE•Psychology in the Schools•2020

    A trauma‐and‐violence‐informed‐care (TVIC) system within an educational setting provides a framework of practice that enables schools to become safe and inclusive places for some of the most vulnerable students. Initial teacher education may provide the opportunity to prepare teachers to create classrooms and learning experiences that are safe, equitable, and meet students' needs. A mandatory mental health literacy course for second year teacher …

  • Digitizing localism

    Open Access•Susan Rodger, Scott Rodgers•ARTICLE•International Journal of Cultural…•2017•Citada por: 1•Referencias: 25

    This article presents an unconventional view of media production, not as the direct production of media content or forms, but the cultivation of spaces for media production taking place elsewhere. I draw on a close analysis of Destination Local, a program of UK charity Nesta, which focused on the implications of location-based technologies for the emergent field of ‘hyperlocal’ media. Although the first round of the program – the focus in this pa…

  • Re-locating media production

    Open Access•Helen Morgan Parmett, Susan Rodger et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of Cultural…•2017•Citada por: 1•Referencias: 8

    It was arguably easier in the past to pin down media production in medium- or content-specific locales, such as the studio, the newsroom or the set. Contemporary processes of media convergence have dramatically opened up the ‘what’ and ‘where’ of media production to include all manner of quotidian practices and ephemeral places. This special issue, however, pushes back against the idea that contemporary landscapes of media production have been fl…

  • Roots and fields

    Open Access•Susan Rodger, Scott Rodgers•ARTICLE•Media Culture & Society•2017•Citada por: 5•Referencias: 21

    In 2012, UK charity Nesta announced Destination Local, a program focused on future developments in ‘hyperlocal media’ based on location-based technologies. The program’s first round funded an experimental portfolio of 10 small projects. In this article, I present vignettes drawn from walking interviews with four of the project leaders, putting these into dialogue with phenomenological and practice-centered media theory, as well as growing interes…

  • Foreign objects? Web content management systems, journalistic cultures and the ontology of software

    Open Access•Susan Rodger, Scott Rodgers•ARTICLE•Journalism•2014•Citada por: 15•Referencias: 19

    Research on ‘digital’ journalism has focused largely on online news, with comparatively less interest in the longer-term implications of software and computational technologies. Drawing upon a 6-year study of the Toronto Star, this article provides an account of TOPS, an in-house web content management system which served as the backbone of thestar.com for 6 years. For some, TOPS was a successful software innovation, while for others, a strategic…

  • Laboring to Mother in the Context of Past Trauma

    Open Access•Hélène Berman, Robín Masón et al.•ARTICLE•Qualitative Health Research•2014•Citada por: 1•Referencias: 43

    The occurrence of interpersonal trauma is a reality for many women, with effects that often persist long after the traumatic events end. The purpose of this feminist grounded theory study was to examine how past trauma shaped the lives of women as they became new mothers. We recruited a purposive sample of 32 women from two Canadian communities and conducted semistructured, dialogic interviews during the second trimester of pregnancy. We analyzed…

    The spatial imaginations of media studies and urban studies are increasingly aligned, illustrated by a growing literature on what can be identified as the media-urban nexus. This nexus has attracted scholarly interest not only as a cultural phenomenon, but also as a site of emergent political dynamics. We suggest that literature on the media-urban nexus points to the always-already present conditions of possibility for a translocal, relational ur…

    We outline the rationale for reopening the issue of the spatiality of the 'urban' in urban politics. There is a long tradition of arguing about the distinctive political qualities of urban sites, practices and processes. Recent work often relies on spatial concepts or metaphors that anchor various political phenomena to cities while simultaneously putting the specificity of the urban itself in question. This symposium seeks to extend debates abou…

    This article considers the relation of the newsroom and the city as a lens into the more general relation of production spaces and mediated publics. Leading theoretically from Lee and LiPuma’s notion of “cultures of circulation,” and drawing on an ethnography of the Toronto Star, the article focuses on how media forms circulate and are enacted through particular practices and material settings. With its attention to the urban milieus and orientat…

  • The Journalistic Field and the City

    Open Access•Susan Rodger, Scott Rodgers•ARTICLE•City and Community•2013•Citada por: 10•Referencias: 21

    This article presents Pierre Bourdieu's field theory as a way to approach the under–theorized relationship of journalism and the city. The concept of field provides a way to conceive of the conditions of possibility for what journalists do in, through, and in relation to the urban. Bringing this concept together with practice theory and organizational sociology, I examine four practical and organizational tales–two narratives and two episodes–rel…

  • On Exhibiting Transnational Mobilities

    Open Access•Susan Rodger, Susan Rodgers•ARTICLE•Museum Anthropology•2012•Citada por: 2•Referencias: 18

    Scholarship on the new "mobilities" paradigm from sociology and cultural geography has much to offer anthropologist curators and other museum professionals seeking to conceptualize and design exhibitions on ritual objects that are "on the move"-that is, ceremonial things such as Sumatran textiles (the focus here) that have long histories of crossing ethnic group, social class, and national borders. These ritual goods are often crucial sites for c…

This paper examines one contemporary example of that for Sumatra's Angkola Batak. Focusing on the way national communication media shape local kinship ideas (and foster notions of "culture" and …

    This qualitative study examines barriers to adult education by the marginalized adult learner. We adopted an inclusive approach by interviewing potential adult learners who had not participated in adult education programs due to illiteracy. Five overlapping themes related to barriers emerged and were categorized as: family values and responsibilities (i.e., cultural); the emotional effect of family poverty on participants’ lives (i.e., anger at t…

    Introduction Navigating the journey from a 'traditional past' of purportedly limited social horizons toward a more cosmopolitan and 'enlightened' modern existence in a multi-ethnic Indonesia has been a central, recurrent theme of Indonesian-language fiction since the 1920s. The social dilemmas and emotional pain entailed in this transition from tradition (often, ethnic tradition) toward modernity typically provides much of the tension of novels a…

    Research on the transition from oral to literate culture has much to offer students of kinship. This paper examines how the introduction of commercial printing and newspaper publishing has fostered a reformulation of Angkola Batak concepts of marriage alliance. Some folk portrayals present the wife-giver/wife-taker relationship in cosmological terms, while others present it as a social phenomenon. The diversity in homemade Angkola models of kinsh…

    Language and power issues are central to the study of colonialism, as a wide stream of recent work in anthropology and history has amply shown (Rafael 1988; Fabian 1991; Kuipers 1998:22-41; Bhabha 1985,1990; Florida 1995; Sears 1996; Pemberton 1994; Dirks 1992; Thomas 1994). One of the major insights of this scholarship is that colonial regimes in places like the Netherlands East Indies, the Philippines, or the Belgian Congo established hegemony …

  • Folklore with a Vengeance

    Susan Rodger, Susan Rodgers•ARTICLE•Journal of American Folklore•2003•Citada por: 1

    This paper considers the resistance potential of a locally authored "old customs" literature from North Sumatra as a body of texts that wrote back to the power of states in both colonial and postcolonial Indonesian contexts. Starting by the 1910s, Angkola Batak school textbook authors and amateur antiquarians captured part of the Dutch colonial folkloristic enterprise for their own political and aesthetic purposes. Attention to two sample transla…

    This qualitative study examined motivation, support, and retention of foster parents in a child welfare agency in nine Canadian counties.

Results showed that the most frequent motivations for being foster parents were intrinsic, altruistic motivators of wanting to make a difference in children's lives and a desire to have childr…

  • Antic Histories

    Using the concept of the memory artist developed by Mary Steedly, and Ann Stoler and Karen Strassler, this paper offers an anthropology of print literature reading of a linguistically playful Caribbean novel (Patrick Chamoiseau's 1992 Chamoiseau, Patrick. 1992. Texaco, Paris: Gallimard. Collection Folio [Google Scholar] Texaco) in relation to an equally antic and language‐obsessed historical text from Indonesia (Mangaradja Onggang Parlindungan's …

  • Exploring Attitudes of Future Educators About Sexual Minority Youth

    Fifty-two secondary teacher candidates from a Canadian university completed questionnaires assessing levels of homoprejudice, knowledge of homosexuality, and perceptions of professional issues related to sexual minority youth. The level of homoprejudice in this sample was lower than in earlier studies with teachers, and lower homoprejudice was found to be significantly related to higher professional commitment and willingness to assist sexual min…

  • Narrating ‘the modern

    Open Access•Susan Rodger, Susan Rodgers•ARTICLE•Bijdragen tot de taal- land- en…•2008•Citada por: 1

    As Lennard J. Davis (1997) points out in Factual fictions; The origins of the English novel, newspaper prose and novel writing had remarkably blurred boundaries throughout the late 1700s, the time when the early English novel was first gaining public currency on the popular print scene. Davis presents a complex argument. He first criticizes Ian Watt’s approach (1957) as set out in the latter’s classic The rise of the novel. Davis asserts that Wat…

  • Mediating Urban Politics

    Open Access•Susan Rodger, Scott Rodger et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of Urban…•2009•Citada por: 2•Referencias: 14

    Despite the turn to relational vocabularies in urban theory, most work on urban politics acknowledging the importance of media has tended to reproduce a centred image of 'the media' and a functionalist account of mediation. This essay suggests, by contrast, that media might be understood more phenomenologically, as those technologies embedded in the dispersed practices of urban life, and as assemblages of integrative practices (i.e. 'the media'),…

  • Barriers to Education for the Marginalized Adult Learner

    This qualitative study examines barriers to adult education by the marginalized adult learner. We adopted an inclusive approach by interviewing potential adult learners who had not participated in adult education programs due to illiteracy. Five overlapping themes related to barriers emerged and were categorized as: family values and responsibilities (i.e., cultural); the emotional effect of family poverty on participants’ lives (i.e., anger at t…
