Cómics para videojuegos, industria cultural y digital.

Las Start-ups han se consideran el medio por el cual personas independientes puedan dar a conocer sus nuevas e innovadoras ideas. Estas nuevas ideas son las que hoy en día invaden el mundo de la tecnología, mueven el mercado y la inversión por parte de diferentes empresas. El auge de los smartphones y la tecnología que manejan, han permitido que diferentes Start-ups puedan sobresalir con sus ideas y poder mostrarlas el mercado. El éxito de este modelo de negocio ha permitido que haya más competencia y variabilidad en el mercado, de igual forma ha rompido con estereotipos que muchos profesionales han tenido por años. Estas pequeñas empresas a través de las aplicaciones móviles, o “Apps”, han hecho la vida del ser humano más simple dándole soluciones digitales en el teléfono celular o diferentes artefactos tecnológicos. La relación del hombre y la tecnología ha sido objeto de estudio para la antropología digital, pues el interactuar con el mundo tecnológico el ser humano ha cambiado su estilo de vida y comportamientos. Por otro lado, los medios que las industrias digitales ofrecen, han sido de gran ayuda para poder generar un mayor contacto, o empatía, con el ser humano. De esta manera muchas empresas acuden a estas ideas creativas para que sus productos puedan generar una mayor empatía con los consumidores y así haya fidelidad hacia éstos. Esta tesis buscará dar una solución a la empresa TTidh, para que pueda promocionar y dar a conocer al público, sus videojuegos en el formato de aplicaciones móviles. La solución a este problema se dará a través de un cómic el cual se hará con el videojuego Pesty Veggies. Este tendrá tres objetos de estudio principales. El Primero será el estudio de la antropología digital, las necesidades digitales y análogas. El segundo será analizar la historia de los cómics y cómo surgió su éxito. Finalmente, la realización del comic.

Playful language alternation in an online discussion forum: the example of digital code plays

This paper explores the linguistic practice of digital code plays in an online discussion forum, used by the community of English-speaking Germans living in Britain. By adopting a qualitative approach of Computer-Mediated Discourse Analysis, the article examines the ways in which these bilinguals deploy linguistic and other semiotic resources on the forum to co-construct humorous code plays. These performances occur in the context of negotiating language norms and are based on conscious manipulations of both codes, English and German. They involve play with codes at three levels: play with forms, meanings, and frames. Although, at first sight, such alternations appear to be used mainly for a comic effect, there is more to this than just humour. By mixing both codes at all levels, the participants deliberately produce aberrant German ‘polluted’ with English and, in so doing, dismantle the ideology of language purity upheld by the purist movement. The deliberate character of this type of code alternation demonstrates heightened metalinguistic awareness as well as creativity and criticality. By exploring the practice of digital code plays, the current study contributes to the growing body of research on networked multilingualism as well as to practices associated with translanguaging, poly- and metrolingualism.

Experiences with an Object-Oriented, Multi-Stage Language

Metaphor is a multi-stage programming language extension to an imperative, object-oriented language in the style of C# or Java. This paper discusses some issues we faced when applying multi-stage language design concepts to an imperative base language and run-time environment. The issues range from dealing with pervasive references and open code to garbage collection and implementing cross-stage persistence.

The Coming of Post-reflexive Society: Commodification and Language in Digital Capitalism

Language is a unique aspect of human communication because it can be used to discuss itself in its own terms. For this reason, human societies potentially have superior capacities of co-ordination, reflexive self-correction, and innovation than other animal, physical or cybernetic systems. However, this analysis also reveals that language is interconnected with the economically and technologically mediated social sphere and hence is vulnerable to abstraction, objectification, reification, and therefore ideology – all of which are antithetical to its reflexive function, whilst paradoxically being a fundamental part of it. In particular, in capitalism, language is increasingly commodified within the social domains created and affected by ubiquitous communication technologies. The advent of the so-called ‘knowledge economy’ implicates exchangeable forms of thought (language) as the fundamental commodities of this emerging system. The historical point at which a ‘knowledge economy’ emerges, then, is the critical point at which thought itself becomes a commodified ‘thing’, and language becomes its “objective” means of exchange. However, the processes by which such commodification and objectification occurs obscures the unique social relations within which these language commodities are produced. The latest economic phase of capitalism – the knowledge economy – and the obfuscating trajectory which accompanies it, we argue, is destroying the reflexive capacity of language particularly through the process of commodification. This can be seen in that the language practices that have emerged in conjunction with digital technologies are increasingly non-reflexive and therefore less capable of self-critical, conscious change.
