Gender in surveys/tests
by Devayani Tirthali 15 Jul '16

15 Jul '16

Hi all, I have always followed the rule of thumb to not ask the demographic questions - gender, race/ethnicity - in the beginning of the survey or a test because it affects how people answer the questions. Can somebody please share some research that supports this? I remember reading research about how test scores are affected when students are reminded about their gender and gender related stereotype. I also remember reading a thread on air listserv where somebody pointed out not to ask gender questions in the beginning of the survey. But cannot find any of the papers or that email thread. If Can anybody share literature that offers reason for not asking gender question in the beginning of the survey? Thanks, Devayani

New Books Announcement: Violent Games & Music Games
by Gerald Voorhees 14 Jul '16

14 Jul '16

It is my great pleasure to announce the impending publication of two new volumes in the Approaches to Digital Game Studies <http://www.bloomsbury.com/us/series/approaches-to-digital-game-studies/> book series. Violent Video Games: Rules, Realism, and Effect <http://www.bloomsbury.com/us/violent-games-9781628925609/>(Gareth Schott, Senior Lecturer at the University of Waikato, New Zealand). This monograph draws on new insights achieved from research located at an intersection between humanities, social and computer sciences, to interrogate the nature and meaning of the “violence” encountered and experienced by game players. In focusing on the various ways "violence" is mediated by both the rule system and the semiotic layer of games, the aim is to draw out the distinctiveness of games' exploitation of violence or violent themes. Music Video Games: Performance, Politics, and Play <http://www.bloomsbury.com/us/music-video-games-9781501308536/> (Michael Austin, Assistant Professor at Howard University, USA). This anthology investigates important themes surrounding the ways in which we play music and play with music in video games. Starting with the precursors to music games - including Simon, the hand-held electronic music game from the 1980s, this collection goes on to discuss issues in musicianship and performance, authenticity and “selling out,” and composing, creating, and learning music with video games. Both volumes will be available on July 28, 2016 in paperback, hardback, and various ebook formats. Orders via Bloomsbury will receive a 30% discount with the coupon code "gamestudies" on the checkout page. Authors interested in proposing a volume to the series can learn more at https://sites.google.com/site/approachestodigitalgamestudies/ and contact the series editors at gamestudies.books(a)gmail.com.

Online Popular Music Research + API
by Craig Hamilton 14 Jul '16

14 Jul '16

Hi all, I’m relatively new to this list, but I’ve been following the various discussions with interest. I will be at my first AOIR conference in Berlin later this year and look forward to meeting you. I wanted to pass on some information that may be of interest to colleagues looking at popular music. My PhD research is based around a project called Harkive, which gathers stories online from people about the detail of the music listening across the course of a single day each year. Harkive 2016 takes place next Tuesday, 19th July. More information can be found on the project website: http://www.harkive.org Of potentially wider interest is a new development for 2016. With a colleague at BCU I have developed an API for the data collected by the project. I’ve provided a public-facing overview, including links to the API and a simple data visualisation platform built with it, in this post on the project site: http://harkive.org/api-data-viz/ If any of the above is of interest, please do feel free to contact me. You can also keep an eye on the project via Twitter (@harkive<http://www.twitter.com/harkive>) Kind regards Craig

Re: [Air-L] suggestions for movies on communication technology and social change
by Beth Corzo-Duchardt 14 Jul '16

14 Jul '16

Looks like we’re generating a great list, I hope someone compiles a master list and shares it. The dystopic versions of these stories are particularly interesting to me, so I have lots of examples. I’ve included some that haven’t yet been mentioned below. But I’d also suggest that in addition to giving students a list of 5 or so films (and/or TV shows, I think some have already mentioned *Black Mirror* and *Mr. Robot*), you encourage them to come up with their own examples. I do a similar assignment and I find that students never cease to come up with interesting interpretations of films I’d never have considered in those terms. For example, one of my students talked about how *Gone Girl* (David Fincher, 2014) makes an argument about the power of the news media to guide public opinion. Some interesting early examples that mirror today’s discussions about mediated identity construction and the documentary power of moving images: *Hoodoo Ann* (Ingraham, 1916). A girl accidentally shots a gun as she’s mimicking a Western star and mistakenly believes she’s killed a man because she applies (faulty) movie-logic to interpret the real-life events. *A Reckless Romeo* (Fatty Arbuckle, 1917) A philandering husband is caught on film and publicly shamed when he appears in a public service newsreel entitled “Mashers in our Parks Must be Stopped” (in contemporary parlance, to *mash* meant to *come on to* someone who was unwelcoming) *Sherlock Jr.* (Buster Keaton, 1924) a boy dreams himself into a movie where he becomes a better version of himself. In the end, he wakes up and in the film’s final seconds kisses the girl of his dreams after learning from the movie exactly what to do. Two films that I often use clips from for in-class examples in advance of the assignment are: *Idiocracy* (Mike Judge, 2006) A pretty terrible and somewhat racist film about a future dystopia where American citizens have become stupefied by evermore vapid TV programming and automated living. Despite, or actually, because of it’s failings, I find it to be very teachable. *Wall-E* (Andrew Stanton, 2008) This popular Disney/Pixar collaboration depicts a future of fat, lazy, stupid and disconnected humans that is very similar to the world of Idiocracy, though it does have a feel-good environmentalist message. Has anyone mentioned *Tron* (Steven Lisberger, 1982)? It sort of fits the digital activism mold, though ironically it was funded by a company a lot like the villain on the movie (Disney) to help sell video games.

I still remember watching *Koyaanisqatsi *in college (aka a long time ago) Lifted from wikipedia. Reggio stated that the *Qatsi* films are intended to simply create an experience and that "it is up [to] the viewer to take for himself/herself what it is that [the film] means." He also said that "these films have never been about the effect *of* technology, *of* industry *on* people. It's been that everyone: politics, education, things of the financial structure, the nation state structure, language, the culture, religion, all of that exists within the host of technology. So it's not the effect *of*, it's that everything exists within [technology]. It's not that we *use* technology, we *live* technology. Technology has become as ubiquitous as the air we breathe..."[3] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koyaanisqatsi#cite_note-eol-3> On Wed, Jul 13, 2016 at 3:00 PM, <air-l-request(a)listserv.aoir.org> wrote: > Send Air-L mailing list submissions to > air-l(a)listserv.aoir.org > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > http://listserv.aoir.org/listinfo.cgi/air-l-aoir.org > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > air-l-request(a)listserv.aoir.org > > You can reach the person managing the list at > air-l-owner(a)listserv.aoir.org > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of Air-L digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.
