HALFWAY HAPPY: Eleven and the Liminal Feminism of Stranger Things
No full textAccording to Hailu (2022) in Variety, Stranger Things has been one of the most popular shows available to watch on streaming since it first aired in 2016, earning a spot in the Netflix Top Ten rankings each year a new season has been released. The story has followed a substantial cast of characters, including girls and women who shirked gender expectations of the 1980s and drove the narrative forward. Kahlenberg (2019) argued that analyzing media within a social justice framework can help students develop consciousness of why media privileges the perspectives of dominant groups. Through conducting a thematic analysis of Stranger Things, we assert that the show represents a significant but narrow shift in television’s portrayal of female characters and relationships and reveals the possibility of reciprocal conversation between viewers and the writers’ room. We also argue in favor of students and audiences participating in critical discussions of popular media and seeking out less mainstream works which center the lives of marginalized people
Wired for work: brain-computer interfaces’ impact on frontline employees’ well-being
No full textPurpose: Neurotechnologies such as brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) are rapidly moving out of laboratories and onto frontline employees\u27 (FLEs) heads. BCIs offer thought-controlled device operation and real-time adjustment of work tasks based on employees’ mental states, balancing the potential for optimal well-being with the risk of exploitative employee treatment. Despite its profound implications, a considerable gap exists in understanding how BCIs affect FLEs. This article’s purpose is to investigate BCIs’ impact on FLEs’ well-being. Design/methodology/approach: This article uses a conceptual approach to synthesize interdisciplinary research from service marketing, neurotechnology and well-being. Findings: This article highlights the expected impact from BCIs on the work environment and conceptualizes what BCIs entail for the service sector and the different BCI types that may be discerned. Second, a conceptual framework is introduced to explicate BCIs’ impact on FLEs’ well-being, identifying two mediating factors (i.e. BCI as a stressor versus BCI as a resource) and three categories of moderating factors that influence this relationship. Third, this article identifies areas for future research on this important topic. Practical implications: Service firms can benefit from integrating BCIs to enhance efficiency and foster a healthy work environment. This article provides managers with an overview of BCI technology and key implementation considerations. Originality/value: This article pioneers a systematic examination of BCIs as workplace technology, investigating their influence on FLEs’ well-being
