“…Major changes in the development of the African-American race, especially among young intellectuals, were in the second half of the 20th century, especially since the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s [5]. Graham [6] states that the increase in cultural production is one product of the increasing interest in African American life and culture after the 1960s. In the context of the novel genre, Graham calls the response to this development a 'virtual explosion' in literary talent.…”

This research is conducted to analyze the hegemonic and counter hegemonic practices in Mildred Taylor's Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry (1976). The analysis is based on mimetic point-of-view, considering the literary work as a fictional representation of the real world within which the work was made. The aim of the research is to analyze the social aspects of the novel, including conflicts of power between white people as the dominant or the ruler race and black people as the subordinate or the ruled race in the USA -especially in southern regionand find the philosophical values inferred from the idea found in the novel that is related to the wider social realities outside the mere facts described in the literary work. The approach used is literary sociology approach, in which the research is focused on the novel's text analysis. It is also called with sociology of work. Theory of Gramscian Hegemony and concept of racism are used as the tools of analysis. The analysis on the Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry showed that there were conflicts between whites as the ruler group and some critical black folks. The conflicts were held as the consequences of the low level of hegemony and the high level of coercion in the whites' authority. It was recognized that there was a war of maneuver between the whites as the ruler group and the critical blacks who tried to create a new form of leadership called as a counter hegemony in the society, especially for the subordinate black people. Based on Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry, there were important characteristics in black movements. There were ideas about peaceful and continual spirits in black struggles.

“…In the context of the novel genre, Graham calls the response to this development a 'virtual explosion' in literary talent. According to Graham, the 1970s alone gave rise to more than twenty-five African-American novels, including the first by Sharon Bell Mathis, Louise Meriweather, Toni Morrison, Alice Walker, and Al Young [6].…”

Playing with digital gender identity and cultural value

In cyberspace, anything is possible. Playing with digital gender identity has particularly flourished in digital dating games. Women can become the 'masters,' while men are the 'pets' when fabricating and manipulating digital gender identity to develop alternative heterosexual relationships. This implies that the breaking down of social and cultural barriers in cyberspace is possible if the digital dating game is seen as playful or a potential liberation from the barriers of digital gender identity to challenge the existing masculine power base. The current study attempts to fill the gap in knowledge related to challenging heterosexuality as the masculine dominant norm in cyberspace by examining Taiwanese online heterosexual relationship developments between gender identity and cultural value while playing a ludic digital dating game. The study employs netnography and recruits 40 people total, including Taiwanese workers and full-time university students, for participation in this research. The results highlight that the digital dating game is in some ways liberating, enabling Taiwanese users to present themselves as they want to express emotions, establish online heterosexual relationships in a nontraditional way, and engage in alternative digital gender play. These 'ludic gaps' allow for a fleeting, but unsustainable escape from traditional Taiwanese gender cultural values and practices. It is suggested that culture is inescapable, regardless of whether we are in the real world or cyberspace.ABSTRACT TRANSLATIONS Jugar con la identidad de género digital y el valor cultural En el ciberespacio, todo es posible.

The First Two Decades of Smart-City Research: A Bibliometric Analysis

This paper reports on the first two decades of research on smart cities by conducting a bibliometric analysis of the literature published between 1992 and 2012. The analysis shows that smart city research is fragmented and lacks cohesion, and its growth follows two main development paths. The first one is based on the peer-reviewed publications produced by European universities, which support a holistic perspective on smart cities. The second path, instead, stands on the grey literature produced by the American business community and relates to a techno-centric understanding of the subject. Divided along such paths, the future development of this new and promising field of research risks being undermined. For while the bibliometric analysis indicates that smart cities are emerging as a fast-growing topic of scientific enquiry, much of the knowledge which is generated about them is singularly technological in nature. In that sense, lacking the social intelligence, cultural artifacts, and environmental attributes which are needed for the ICT-related urban innovation such research champions to be smart in securing the physical infrastructure requirements of cities.
