中文概要: 这是史上第一部关于一位不屈不挠的自由斗士和记者的传记，他掌握着水门事件背后的秘密

他是20世纪政治史上最引人入胜的人物之一。然而今天却伊莱亚斯•德米崔科普洛斯被奇怪地忽视了——尽管他的生活读起来像是一个史诗般的冒险故事。

在被占领的雅典，年仅12岁的他就已经很早熟了，他英勇地反抗纳粹，为此他遭到囚禁和折磨。在奇迹般地幸免于难之后，他成为了一名调查记者，报道希腊混乱的政治和美国在该地区日益增长的影响力。伊莱亚斯是一名聪明的、渴望独家新闻的记者，他很快就接触到了两国政府中有权势的人物……吸引了许多敌人。当希腊军事独裁政权在1967年掌权时，他勉强逃到华盛顿特区，在那里他将领导恢复祖国民主的斗争——同时也与美国政府发生冲突。

现在，经过十年的研究和原创报道,詹姆斯•巴伦揭示他的不懈追求的故事不仅会让他与自己的政府,还有杜鲁门、艾森豪威尔、肯尼迪、约翰逊、尼克松、福特、卡特和里根政府，还有使他的目标中情局、联邦调查局和国务院监视,希腊绑架和暗杀美国当局阴谋被故意忽视。

从第二次世界大战到冷战，从水门事件到其他事件，希腊人一生都在捍卫民主和新闻自由，反对强大的特殊利益集团。关于我们这个时代的权力滥用、黑钱、记者恐吓和外国对选举的干涉，这本书有很多值得我们学习的地方。（WYL)

英文简介: The first-ever biography of a relentless freedom fighter and journalist who held the secret behind Watergate

He was one of the most fascinating figures in 20th-century political history. Yet today, Elias Demetracopoulos is strangely overlooked--even though his life reads like an epic adventure story.
As a precocious twelve-year-old in occupied Athens, he engaged in heroic resistance efforts against the Nazis, for which he was imprisoned and tortured. After his life was miraculously spared, he became an investigative journalist, covering Greece’s tumultuous politics and America’s increasing influence in the region. A clever and scoop-hungry reporter, Elias soon gained access to powerful figures in both governments . . . and attracted many enemies. When the Greek military dictatorship took power in 1967, he narrowly escaped to Washington DC, where he would lead the fight to restore democracy in his homeland--while running afoul of the American government, too.
Now, after a decade of research and original reporting, James H. Barron uncovers the story of a man whose tireless pursuit of uncomfortable truths would put him at odds with not only his own government, but that of the Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter and Reagan administrations, making him a target of CIA, FBI, and State Department surveillance and harassment--and Greek kidnapping and assassination plots American authorities may have purposefully overlooked.
A stunning feat of biographic storytelling, sweeping from World War II to the Cold War, Watergate and beyond, The Greek Connection is about a lifetime of standing up for democracy and a free press against powerful special interests. It has much to teach us about our own era’s abuses of power, dark money, journalist intimidation, and foreign interference in elections.

中文概要: 对我们大多数人来说，大众媒体是我们生活的焦点——它提供了讨论和辩论的材料，它阐明了我们的反应，它提供了一个框架，通过这个框架，大量潜在的材料被过滤、优先考虑和解释。

新闻头条和新闻片段不断地吸引着我们的注意力，由于它的发展速度和技术的进步，大众媒体在很大程度上被定义为它抓住我们注意力的能力，以及它的上瘾程度。

现实是，任何事情都可以被视为极其重要、紧迫、绝望、要求立即采取行动，但也很容易被遗忘。媒体已经超越了信息本身。这个庞大系统的整体情况已经变得比它的通信细节更重要。

刺激可怕的启示的吉米•萨维尔事件在英国广播公司(BBC)播出，其影响的批发机构腐败和持续掩盖的媒体，这本书诊断的是现代世界对大众媒体的干扰的基本问题,指出只有逻辑的、有目的地的扩张:社会本身的破坏。（WYL）

英文简介: For most of us the Mass Media is the focus of our lives - it provides the material which is discussed and debated, it articulates our responses and it provides the framework by which a vast potential volume of material is filtered, prioritised and interpreted.

Headlines and sound-bites constantly vie for our attention, and thanks to the pace of its growth and advances in technology, the Mass Media is largely defined its ability to grab our attention, and its level of addictiveness.

The reality is that anything can be treated as overwhelmingly important, urgent, desperate, demanding of action now, but as easily forgotten. The medium has outgrown the message. The overall fact of this massive system has become more important than the details of its communications.

Stimulated by the horrific revelations of the Jimmy Savile affair at the BBC, with its implications of wholesale Establishment corruption and a sustained media cover-up, this book diagnoses the fundamental problem of the modern world as addiction to the distractions of the Mass Media and points to the only logical destination of its expansion: the destruction of society itself.

英文简介: The vibrant media landscape in the southern Indian state of Kerala, where kiosks overflow with magazines and colorful film posters line roadside walls, creates a sexually charged public sphere that has a long history of political protests. The 2014 "Kiss of Love" campaign garnered national attention, sparking controversy as images of activists kissing in public and dragged into police vans flooded the media. In Unruly Figures, Navaneetha Mokkil tracks the cultural practices through which sexual figures―particularly the sex worker and the lesbian―are produced in the public imagination. Her analysis includes representations of the prostitute figure in popular media, trajectories of queerness in Malayalam films, public discourse on lesbian sexuality, the autobiographical project of sex worker and activist Nalini Jameela, and the memorialization of murdered transgender activist Sweet Maria, showing how various marginalized figures stage their own fractured journeys of resistance in the post-1990s context of globalization.

By bringing a substantial body of Malayalam-language literature and media texts on gender, sexuality, and social justice into conversation with current debates around sexuality studies and transnational feminism in Asian and Anglo-American academia, Mokkil reorients the debates on sexuality in India by considering the fraught trajectories of identity and rights.

英文简介: In 2012, the United Nations General Assembly determined that affordable Internet access is a human right, critical to citizen participation in democratic governments. Given the significance of information and communication technologies (ICTs) to social and political life, many U.S. tribes and Native organizations have created their own projects, from streaming radio to building networks to telecommunications advocacy. In Network Sovereignty, Marisa Duarte examines these ICT projects to explore the significance of information flows and information systems to Native sovereignty, and toward self-governance, self-determination, and decolonization.

By reframing how tribes and Native organizations harness these technologies as a means to overcome colonial disconnections, Network Sovereignty shifts the discussion of information and communication technologies in Native communities from one of exploitation to one of Indigenous possibility.

英文简介: Almost thirty years ago, W. J. T. Mitchell’s Iconology helped launch the interdisciplinary study of visual media, now a central feature of the humanities. Along with his subsequent Picture Theory and What Do Pictures Want?, Mitchell’s now-classic work introduced such ideas as the pictorial turn, the image/picture distinction, the metapicture, and the biopicture. These key concepts imply an approach to images as true objects of investigation—an “image science.”

Continuing with this influential line of thought, Image Science gathers Mitchell’s most recent essays on media aesthetics, visual culture, and artistic symbolism. The chapters delve into such topics as the physics and biology of images, digital photography and realism, architecture and new media, and the occupation of space in contemporary popular uprisings. The book looks both backward at the emergence of iconology as a field and forward toward what might be possible if image science can indeed approach pictures the same way that empirical sciences approach natural phenomena.

Essential for those involved with any aspect of visual media, Image Science is a brilliant call for a method of studying images that overcomes the “two-culture split” between the natural and human sciences.

中文概要: 《社会有机体理论》是两位极具影响力的梦想家的杰作。著名的数字企业家和当代艺术爱好者奥利弗·勒克特（他拥有一系列令人敬畏的初创企业的经历，在新媒体的上也取得了一些其它方面的成就。）是全球最大媒体公司“听众”的现任首席执行官，那是他与好莱坞经纪人阿里·伊曼纽尔以及纳普斯特和脸书的先驱肖恩·帕克共同创办的多渠道出版公司。“听众”公司通常会与顶级名人、品牌和有影响力的公司合作，帮助传播他们的信息，单月收益高达十亿。（他们今天下午把一家总部位于迪拜的全球娱乐集团卖掉了。勒克特将继续担任首席执行官，他将作为公司所持资产的纽带服务各大公司，包括迪拜的国际书展及其它全球活动和主题公园；他还与世界各地的喜剧演员、建筑地下艺术家和音乐家合作，比如K-pop、Hitchhiker；他也收购其它媒体品牌。）

他的合著搭档迈克尔·凯西，著有三本广受好评的书，还是《华尔街日报》的资深记者。最近，他的职位从资深专栏作家和名为WSJ的电视节目主持人转变成了专门麻省理工学院媒体实验室新型数字货币倡议的高级顾问。

《社会有机体理论》中的思想深受奥利弗·勒克特的在微生物学和早期通讯网络方面的研究的影响，并且结合了他的工作实践经验，尤其是来自他的公司“听众”的工作经验。在《社会有机体理论》中，勒克特分享了曾为他取得巨大成功的那些经验——报道全球化和技术的社会重要性，比如加密货币所预示的变化，《加密货币时代》的主题（圣马丁出版社，2015年，与保罗·维格纳合著）；全球货币政策的连锁反应，《不公平贸易》（2013）中探讨的全球货币政策。他的书《车智子的来世》（Vintage，2009年），由角谷美智子选为《纽约时报》年度最佳图书排行榜的首位。她深入研究了模因如何在意义层面上传播、占据和进化，这是对《社会有机体理论》来说非常重要的概念。

《社会有机体理论》的论点可以通过来自世界各地引人入胜的故事来说明作者自己的经历和研究，包括来自勒克特的在新媒体战壕中的那段时间，以及凯西在麻省理工学院媒体实验室获取尖端数据的通道。就像纳西姆·塔勒布的《黑天鹅》、查尔斯·杜希格的《习惯的力量》，以及马尔科姆·格拉德威尔的任意主题的一本书一样，这是一本思想伟大的书，适合所有类型读者的，书中充满了强大的商业、营销和政策应用知识。

在这两位作家各自的网络之间，有无数的渠道使这本书成为畅销书。从传统印刷媒体到网络媒体渠道和社交媒体；从记者到名人政客，公共知识分子和其他不会留下任何消息来源“影响者”。两位作者都是有魅力、自信的演讲者，他们经常被邀请参加媒体活动和全球的大型活动。他们令人印象深刻的传记、人脉和宣传计划，让读者受益颇深。奥利弗将在《社会有机体理论》中，无私分享他和他的公司为各位名人所做的工作：马克·沃尔伯格、查理兹·塞隆、奥巴马总统、美国运通、纳什·格里尔，亚瑟——更不用说像阿丽安娜·赫芬顿的《茁壮成长》这样的书了，以及像朱迪·布鲁姆这样的作家——以及其他许多作家。所有这些人的策略都来自于他对社交媒体作为一种生活形式的理解。（WYL)

英文简介: In barely a decade, social media has positioned itself at the center of twenty-first century life. The combined power of platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, and Vine have helped topple dictators and turned anonymous teenagers into celebrities overnight. In the social media age, ideas spread and morph through shared hashtags, photos, and videos, and the most compelling and emotive ones can transform public opinion in mere days and weeks, even attitudes and priorities that had persisted for decades.
