Participatory Culture, Community, and Play : Learning from Reddit
What does online community look like in the age of social networking?How do participatory culture platforms reflect both their designers’ intentions and the desires of their users?In this incisive and timely work, Adrienne L. Massanari discusses how culture is created and challenged on Reddit.com, the self-proclaimed «front page of the internet».Reddit enables the sharing of original and reposted content from around the web, and provides a platform for like-minded individuals to commune around topics of interest – everything from the joys of drinking beer in a shower (/r/showerbeer) to celebrating the pleasures of tidy penmanship (/r/penmanshipporn).Massanari’s ethnographic work provides a detailed examination of the contradictions that shape Reddit’s culture and how they reflect its role as an epicenter of geek culture.The book explores the ways in which community on Reddit is formed and solidified through play and humor, and the complex ways in which Redditors come together, which demonstrate a deep capacity for altruism and charitable giving, but can easily lapse into mob action.It also explores the community’s troubling gender and racial politics and how some Redditors are carving out their own space on the site to fight back.

Community Archives, Community Spaces : Heritage, Memory and Identity
This book traces the trajectory of the community archives movement, expanding the definition of community archives to include sites such as historical societies, social movement organisations and community centres.It also explores new definitions of what community archives might encompass, particularly in relation to disciplines outside the archives. Over ten years have passed since the first volume of Community Archives, and inspired by continued research as well as by the formal recognition of community archives in the UK, the community archives movement has become an important area of research, recognition and appreciation by archivists, archival scholars and others worldwide.Increasingly the subject of papers and conferences, community archives are now seen as being in the vanguard of social concerns, markers of community-based activism, a participatory approach exemplifying the on-going evolution of ‘professional’ archival (and heritage) practice and integral to the ability of people to articulate and assert their identity.Community Archives, Community Spaces reflects the latest research and includes practical case studies on the challenges of building and sustaining community archives.This new book will appeal to practitioners, researchers, and academics in the archives and records community as well as to historians and other scholars concerned with community building and social issues.

What is the difference between historical culture and memory culture?
Historical culture refers to the collective understanding and interpretation of historical events, traditions, and customs within a society. It encompasses the tangible and intangible aspects of a society's past, including artifacts, monuments, and rituals. Memory culture, on the other hand, focuses on the ways in which a society actively engages with and remembers its history. It involves the processes of commemoration, memorialization, and the transmission of historical knowledge through storytelling, education, and public discourse. While historical culture is the broader framework of a society's historical identity, memory culture is the active, dynamic practice of remembering and interpreting that history.

Is learning ability and memory inherited?
Learning ability and memory are influenced by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. While there is evidence to suggest that certain aspects of learning ability and memory can be inherited, it is not solely determined by genetics. Environmental factors such as education, experiences, and lifestyle also play a significant role in shaping an individual's learning ability and memory. Therefore, while genetics may contribute to a predisposition for certain cognitive abilities, it is not the sole determinant.

Joyce's Dante : Exile, Memory, and Community
Joyce's engagement with Dante is a crucial component of all of his work.This title reconsiders the responses to Dante in Joyce's work from A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man to Finnegans Wake.It presents that encounter as an historically complex and contextually determined interaction reflecting the contested development of Dante's reputation, readership and textuality throughout the nineteenth century.This process produced a 'Dante with a difference', a uniquely creative and unorthodox construction of the poet which informed Joyce's lifelong engagement with such works as the Vita Nuova and the Commedia.Tracing the movement through Joyce's writing on exile as a mode of alienation and charting his growing interest in ideas of community, Joyce's Dante shows how awareness of his changing reading of Dante can alter our understanding of one of the Irish writer's lasting thematic preoccupations.

Archiving Caribbean Identity : Records, Community, and Memory
Archiving Caribbean Identity highlights the "Caribbeanization" of archives in the region, considering what those archives could include in the future and exploring the potential for new records in new formats.Interpreting records in the broadest sense, the 15 chapters in this volume explore a wide variety of records that represent new archival interpretations.The book is split into two parts, with the first part focusing on record forms that are not generally considered "archival" in traditional Western practice.The second part explores more "traditional" archival collections and demonstrates how these collections are analysed and presented from the perspective of Caribbean peoples.As a whole, the volume suggests how colonial records can be repurposed to surface Caribbean narratives.Reflecting on the unique challenges faced by developing countries as they approach their archives, the volume considers how to identify and archive records in the forms and formats that reflect the postcolonial and decolonized Caribbean, how to build an archive of the people that documents contemporary society and reflects Caribbean memory, and how to repurpose the colonial archives so that they assist the Caribbean in reclaiming its history. Archiving Caribbean Identity demonstrates how non-textual cultural traces function as archival records and how folk-centred perspectives disrupt conventional understandings of records.The book should thus be of interest to academics and students engaged in the study of archives, memory, culture, history, sociology, and the colonial and postcolonial experience.

Hello, can hypnosis increase learning ability or memory retention?
Hypnosis has been shown to potentially improve learning ability and memory retention in some individuals. By inducing a state of deep relaxation and heightened focus, hypnosis can help individuals absorb and retain information more effectively. Additionally, hypnosis can also help reduce stress and anxiety, which can be barriers to effective learning and memory retention. However, it's important to note that the effectiveness of hypnosis can vary from person to person, and more research is needed to fully understand its impact on learning and memory.
