The proposed platform is comprehensive connective and congenial. It is implemented with an agile program that combines top down push by the leadership with the bottom up pulled by the people.

Skills Creativity and Innovation in the Digital Platform Era Analyzing the New Reality of Professions and Entrepreneurship

Skills Creativity and Innovation in the Digital Platform Era: Analyzing the New Reality of Professions and Entrepreneurship brings together two important areas: the separate research topics of professions platforms and entrepreneurship and the various dimensions of what platformization means to work and to professions in contemporary societies. One of the most noteworthy global aspects in current societies is the intensifying presence of technology to the extent that we can talk about the omnipotence of technologies a kind of technological imperative that prevails in societies. This new type of technological imperative emerges in the working lives of practicing professionals from medical doctors to lawyers and from teachers to preachers. Platforms have become a powerful actor as enablers and reorganizers of work creating new types of inequalities but also expanding the market relations for new professions such as social influencers. How do platforms govern and shape work and lead to new questions concerning organizing of work and professions? These are few of the key questions Poutanen and Kovalainen explore in this profound and insightful book. | Skills Creativity and Innovation in the Digital Platform Era Analyzing the New Reality of Professions and Entrepreneurship

The Twitter Presidency Donald J. Trump and the Politics of White Rage

The Twitter Presidency Donald J. Trump and the Politics of White Rage

The Twitter Presidency explores the rhetorical style of President Donald J. Trump attending to both his general manner of speaking as well as to his preferred modality. Trump’s manner the authors argue reflects an aesthetics of white rage and it is rooted in authoritarianism narcissism and demagoguery. His preferred modality of speaking namely through Twitter effectively channels and transmits the affective dimensions of white rage by taking advantage of the platform’s defining characteristics which include simplicity impulsivity and incivility. There is then a structural homology between Trump’s general communication practices and the specific platform (Twitter) he uses to communicate with his base. This commonality between communication practices and communication platform (manner and modality) struck a powerful emotive chord with his followers who feel aggrieved at the decentering of white masculinity. In addition to charting the defining characteristics of Trump’s discourse The Twitter Presidency exposes how Trump’s rhetorical style threatens democratic norms principles and institutions. | The Twitter Presidency Donald J.

The New Digital Education Policy Landscape From Education Systems to Platforms

The New Digital Education Policy Landscape From Education Systems to Platforms

This book provides a scholarly investigation of the new era we have entered in which platforms can replace or profoundly modify educational systems and questions the role of educational policy in this new stage of platform-based digital technology. The contributors explore important questions around who controls these transformations what form they are taking what the balance between national education policies and Big Tech education solutions should be as well as whether there should be a public platform in every education system that digitally expands learning and what evidence there is that learning will be more efficient using these platforms. The first part provides a selection of empirical studies on the new digital educational policy and an analysis of the real opportunities and concerns that governments face in this regard while the second offers reflections on the processes of platformization and the role of the state in this new digital world. Uniquely examining the temporal evolution of these changes and taking a theoretical political and epistemological approach it crucially opens pathways for dialogical and diverse critical thinking about profound problems and possibilities. Gathering purposeful thinking that creates space for design solutions and rethinking educational systems considering these new technological artefacts it will appeal to researchers and specialists in the fields of educational technology and educational policy. | The New Digital Education Policy Landscape From Education Systems to Platforms
