Three Prompts for Collective Action in the Context of Digital Media

Research dealing with the nexus of collective action, political participation, and digital media confronts three challenges: conceptualizing digital media as an influence on human behavior, finding common ground among new theories, and connecting together individual-level models with structural-level theories. This article addresses these challenges as a theoretical undertaking. It argues that the digital media environment should be understood as a change in the context for action rather than as an individual-level variable, and that this changed context is relevant to behavior because it expands opportunities for action. This expansion involves a range of structural possibilities for viable collective action that entail at least three paths: organizational prompts, social prompts, and self-initiation. There are theoretical reasons to expect that individual-level attributes including age, education, ideology, and personality may differentially affect people’s susceptibility to these prompts. Future research may profit from refinements to behavioral models that account for possible differences across structurally different prompts for action.     

Introduction to queer circuits: Critical performance and digital praxis

This introduction situates the articles making up this special issue within four thematic clouds, positing queer theorization as broadly relevant for critically engaging with computational technologies and culture. These sub-themes offer suggestions for future queer inquiry and praxis and reflect key terms in performance studies and queer theory that have undergone transformation with the ubiquity of digital technology.     

“But how to speak of such things?”: decolonial love,the coloniality of gender,and political struggle in Francisco Goldman's The Long Night of White Chickens (1992) and Jennifer Harbury's Bridge of Courage (1994) and Searching for Everardo (1997)

This article presents an analysis of works by Francisco Goldman and Jennifer Harbury, which deal with “cataclysmic moments” of recent Guatemalan history. It explores gender relations in these works with reference to three themes: storytelling, communication and affective relationships. Conceptually, I draw on the notions of decolonial love, the coloniality of gender, and the world gender order as categories of analysis. I take Chela Sandoval's methodology of the oppressed as a guideline for my analysis, and look at the ways in which different types of storytelling perpetuate or question the coloniality of gender, at the consequences of intercultural misunderstandings produced by different readings of the coloniality of gender and the world gender order, and at the significance of a critical and liberatory practice of gender roles for decolonial love. The practice of decolonial love is an alternative to what Tzvetan Todorov has called “the dreadful concatenation,” which is a result of cultural encounters during the conquest of the Americas and which conceptualizes as “love” a feeling that sidesteps equality, an exercise in destruction and possession. The coloniality of gender and decolonial love are explored through their interactions with masculinities and femininities across the different case studies.     

澳大利亚网络安全战略的新内涵与新动向

澳大利亚致力于打造公私部门间"共同领导""共同责任""自我约束"和"自主治理"的网络安全治理新模式,以维护网络空间的安全与稳定、保证国家网络安全、实现数字经济效益的最大化。当前,澳大利亚的网络安全战略正处于转型期,特恩布尔政府在继承既有战略的基础上,对澳大利亚的网络安全战略进行了适时调整,包括增加对"印太地区"的网络安全投入、保持澳美网络安全战略的联动性、提高网络进攻能力以适应互联网军事化需要等。目前,网络空间无政府状态下中美权力的竞争态势正在加剧,澳大利亚的网络安全战略会带有一定的干预主义性质,并向"前沿防御"方向发展。受此影响,澳大利亚的对华网络安全政策可能会面临冲击。但是,中国与澳大利亚的网络安全合作仍在向前发展。虽然中澳网络安全合作仍处于起步阶段,但澳大利亚对中国建设网络强国持欢迎态度,愿意与中国就制定网络行为规范、维护网络空间秩序开展合作。     

‘C’mon,No One Wants a Dick Pic’: exploring the cultural framings of the ‘Dick Pic’ in contemporary online publics

The ‘dick pic’ (DP) has become a growing cultural phenomenon in the digital realm, attracting increasing commentary regarding why men send them, with women’s responses constituting online social movements. Emerging research concerning the practice of DPs has been incredibly limited, with discussion focused on youth sexting practices and online harassment more broadly. However, research focusing specifically on the gendered dynamics of heterosexual boys’ and men’s engagement with DPs is significantly absent, and there has been no attempt to explore how the DP is framed in public commentary. We draw from a qualitative content analysis of social media and digital news articles, comics and blogs discussing the ‘dick pic’, highlighting four major ways in which the ‘dick pic’ is framed. These include: assumptions regarding men’s motivations, women’s production of ‘counterpublics’ and feminist resistance to the DP, satirical and humourous responses to DPs, and positive and transformative responses involving the active solicitation of men’s DPs. We argue that such responses work to interpret and address men’s behaviours, but lack critical consideration regarding their underlying motives and the roles DPs might have in relation to their sexual subjectivities. We conclude with a discussion of the implications of such responses and calls for future research.     

论电子证据的提取原则与过程

计算机犯罪已经成为严重社会问题。由于电子数据的不确定性、不易被发现、易消失性、易改动性等特点,造成在侦查过程中对电子数据证据提取的困难。文章依据《公安部电子物证检验大纲》(2005),并结合侦查计算机犯罪案件的体会,对电子数据证据的提取原则与过程进行了初步的探讨。     

利用Photoshop制作原物大照片

普通数码相机,由于其镜头不能拆卸,因此,无法按传统(胶片)的照相方法进行原物大照相,制作原物大照片。应用Photoshop图像处理软件,不仅能将普通数码相机拍摄的图像制作成原物大照片,而且还可同时改善图像质量,制作直接扩大照片,在物证检验鉴定中具有一定的实用价值。     

数码相机在痕迹物证照相中的应用

痕迹物证照相是痕迹检验的重要一环。使用数码相机进行物证照相,痕迹检验人员可以根据需要自行拍照曾经由专业技术人员拍照的物证相片,这对于提高检验效率和检验质量具有重要意义。本文从基层痕迹检验技术人员的角度出发,着重研究如何使用消费级的数码相机拍照微小的痕迹物证。     

图书馆数字资源整合方式探析——以安徽警官职业学院图书馆为例

图书馆内的异构数据库和不同数据源的存在,给读者检索信息带来不便,整合数字资源势在必行。整合数字资源不仅要求图书馆具备经济、人力、技术、系统等条件,还要求选择适当的整合方式。利用CALIS系统统一检索的方式是适合安徽警官职业学院图书馆的一种数字资源整合方式。     

基于数字化监狱的侦防一体化警务模式的构建

数字化监狱建设是新形势下科技强警服务实战的必由之路,实现"数字监狱"是监狱建设的发展方向,是一场新的警务革命,它带来了监狱工作在观念上的转变与机制上的创新,是未来警力和战斗力的主要增长点。狱内侦查工作必然要以监狱数字化为基础,通过情报信息的精确制导,以传统的侦防手段与现代化的侦防技术为抓手,构建"打、防、控、管"一体化的警务运作模式,实现精确打击、重点防控的目标,为监狱打击犯罪、维护监管秩序稳定提供强有力的支持。
