Playfulness and programmatic advertising: help for primary prevention strategies?

Playfulness and programmatic advertising: help for primary prevention strategies?

Playfulness” is a bona fide example of a travelling concept (Bal 2002),with a complex conceptual history that ranges from anthropology andpsychology (e.g., Lieberman 1977; Sutton-Smith 1997) via literary theory(e.g., Stewart 1979; Hutchinson 1983) to the interdisciplinary field ofgame studies (e.g., Ensslin 2014; Sicart 2014).

A two-day analysis of #stayhomesavelives

Covid-19 has disrupted everybody’s lives. Parents working from home (when lucky) or waiting to go back to work (when unlucky). Children are being home schooled and schools are silently trying to cope. It is tough. What is tougher is the fact that the UK has officially surpassed Italy and is now trying to show that they are no so worse off than Spain. Needless to say, the UK had more time to…

Let’s talk about #DownSyndrome

So, here I am trying to figure out how to put a rather specific research question into a compelling communication project. Something people would want to know about. The project is about dementia in people with learning and cognitive disabilities, specifically Down…

Database-ness and visual narratives

Database-ness and visual narratives

The UK tradition of Software studies seems to be a far away theoretical world, where Deleuze merges with SQL and Basics programming. I have used it as a point of reference to understand how the activities of “bordering” (Lury, 2014) can be applied to the cases of missing, disappeared and murdered women of Ciudad Juarez.

A must read: Ecologies of Power Just caught up with Ecologies of Power by Pierre Bélanger and Alexander Arroyo (MIT Press), which – as the subtitle reveals – is a fascinating countermapping of the Pentagon’s logistical landscapes and military geographies: This book is not about war, nor is it a history of war. Avoiding the shock and awe of wartime images, […] via Counter-mapping and ecologies of military power — geographical imaginations

Counting of the missing(s)

  And we thought what is most scary of the whole article is the following:

“Unlike the refugees from Syria and elsewhere, whose perilous journeys to Europe have rarely been out of the headlines, the people of north-east Nigeria have remained almost entirely below the media radar.

Even in Nigeria, there has been little coverage of their plight and with the country’s…

Emerging connections: the affinity map

Emerging connections: the affinity map

Last night the ENAC (broadly speaking, the Faculty  of Architecture at the Swiss Institute of Technology in Lausanne) had the pleasure to reflect on their own collaborative networks. Through the realisation of a bespoke project named “affinity map” realised by my friend and colleague Dario Rodighiero, the ENAC had a first touch-and-feel of how their policies of collaboration and mutual support…
