[Article Title : DURKHEIM, MOBILES AND THE SPHERE OF THE SOCIAL / Raul Pertierra, p. 15-36] Abstract : The mobile and other new communication technologies such as the Internet are having unprecedented effects on society and culture worldwide. While some of the claims for these new communication technologies are wildly exaggerated, there is little doubt that they are changing our world significantly. This paper addresses some of the theoretical issues associated with the new communication technology and assesses their impact for the Philippines. Just as Durkheim and other early theorists responded to the changes resulting from the Industrial Revolution, one may expect a similar theoretical renewal to address contemporary transformations. The social sciences, in particular Sociology, will have to reconsider its basic paradigms to accommodate these transformations.;[Article Title : A STUDY OF INTERNET CAFÉS: IDENTITY, FREEDOM AND COMMUNICATIVE EXTENSION / Kristinne Joyce Lara-de Leon, p.37-49] Abstract : This research is a descriptive-qualitative study of Internet usage and its sociocultural consequences in a small Philippine city. It describes the consequences on identity, freedom, communication. It answers the following specific questions; (1) Who uses Internet Cafés? (2) How do these individuals use the Internet? (3) What effects does it have on the users' attitudes and worldviews? (4) What are the social interactions within Internet Cafés? Despite the low penetration rate of the Internet in the Philippines (eight percent) as compared to mobile phones (35 percent), this technology entered and blended into the routines of everyday life. First, the results of this study show that the distinction between the actual and the virtual has become blurred. Secondly, the blurring and blending of the virtual-actual has led into new ways of self-exploration. Lastly, the expansion of Internet cafés opens up Tuguegarao City to the possible emergence of new and global forms of relationships.;[Article Title : THE SOCIAL SIGNIFICANCE AND CONSEQUENCES OF DIGITAL PIRACY IN SOUTHEAST ASIA: THE CASE OF INDEPENDENT FILMMAKERS / Tilman Baumgärtel, p. 50-63] Abstract : This paper looks at the phenomenon of media piracy in Southeast Asia, and outlines some of its consequences for independent film production. In the first part of this essay I will look at the phenomenon of piracy as such and try and outline some observations about how piracy works. In the second part I will address the impact that piracy has on the makers and consumers of independent films, a group that I call the "Generation Piracy" as they have grown up with an unprecedented access to world cinema due to media piracy. At the same time, I will put special emphasis on the fact that both piracy and the recent wave of independent films in countries such as the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia etc are a result of the same technical conditions: the easy and cheap access to digital media from cameras to computers to the distribution network of the internet, peer-to-peer networks and video-sharing sites such as YouTube.;[Article Title : THE RHIZOMATIC FLOWS OF TRANSNATIONAL TAMIL CINEMA IN ASIA AND WEB 2.0 / Gopalan Ravindran, p. 64-77] Abstract : This paper attempts to examine the rhizomatic flows of transnational Tamil cinema in Asia in the context of the growing influence of the agents of Web 2.0. The application of the concepts of flow and rhizome forms the theoretical backbone in this regard. The concept of television flow, as advanced by Raymond Williams, has had its transformations in the notion of the space of flows by Manuel Castells and the notion of rhizomatic line of flight of Deleuze and Guattari. Giddens'notion of structuration is the sociological attempt to capture the ephemerality of postmodern representations. In this paper, the rise of transnational Tamil cinema in Asia is juxtaposed with the rise of Web 2.0 in their intertwined contexts. This is to understand their implications for the members of the globalized homeland, who are increasingly connected in the rhizomatic networks of flows originated by the transnational Tamil cinema and Web 2.0;[Article Title : CELLPHONE USE AND TIBETAN MODERNITY: A CASE STUDY ON CELLPHONE USE IN AMDO TIBETAN COMMUNITY / Roudanjia, p. 78-96] Abstract : ICT's particularly cellphones, have been keenly adopted among Tibetans. This paper describes the use of cellphones in Tibetan society and explains their effects on Tibetan experiences. Generally, the study investigates the social consequences of cellphones on political, economic, and cultural aspects. It investigates the impact of mobiles on Tibetan social capital (i.e., family ties, friendship), access to new information (e.g. daily news report), and uses during emergencies (e.g. seeking a doctor under serious conditions). The scope of this study includes four different social groups (e.g. students, monks, villagers and government officers). The study aims to examine how cellphone use affects peoples' interpersonal relationships and their consequences for the public and private spheres in Tibetan life. The cellphone is more than simply a technical innovation. Like all technologies, cellphones affect both inner and outer aspects of personal identity. Tibetan modernity is increasingly being defined by technologies that allow mediated social relationships. ICT plays a significant role in these mediations and its study is crucial for understanding contemporary Tibetan society.;[Article Title : MOBILE COMMUNICATION AND RESISTANCE OF MIGRANT WORKERS IN THE PEARL RIVER DELTA AREA / Yinni Peng, p. 97-115] Abstract : This article explores how the use of mobile phones among migrant workers in the Pearl River Delta Area (PRDA) of Mainland China affects the balance of power with their employers. It demonstrates that information and communication technologies (ICTs), rather than facilitating capital's domination, can be adopted to resist managerial control and reconstruct power relations from below. By providing job information to migrant workers, mobile phones bind the labor process to the local labor market. Managerial control in the labor process is heavily influenced by the local labor market context. Furthermore, mobile phone usage not only weakens the spatial constraint on migrant workers but also creates a virtual community within which they may form their own identity.;[Article Title : THE BLOG AND CIVIL SOCIETY IN CHINA / Patrick Pui-lam Law and Ke Yang, p. 116-125] Abstract : The paper examines briefly the dynamics of the blog and the development of civil society in China. First, the paper introduces the basic features of the blog followed by a brief account of its penetration in China. Second, it discusses an indigenous concept of civil society and its relation with the Internet in general and the blog in particular. Third, it uses two blog examples to illustrate the possible development of civil society in China. |
