The Study of Networked Content: Five Considerations for Digital Research in the Humanities
No full textDigital research is taking the humanities by storm. This can be read not only from the many digital humanities programs in education and research in universities around the world but also from the attention for new media practices in humanities and art departments. Famously, and thought-provokingly, media theorist Lev Manovich—strongly rooted in film and media studies—set out to develop a means by which the visual analysis of big data sets of digitized cultural materials could help the study of art and culture transition into the era of big data or, as he calls it, 90the era of “more media” (Manovich, 2009). Often met with scrutiny by art historians, not in favor of a quantitative approach to the arts, Manovich insisted with this “cultural analytics” program on expanding the study of culture by including the vast amounts of user-generated content. As he wrote as early as 2009: “Think about this: the number of images uploaded to Flickr every week is probably larger than all objects contained in all art museums in the world.” Manovich developed the Software Studies Initiative, where he and his team developed software such as Image Plot, for the analysis of large visual data sets. Manovich applies his methods both to digitized materials (such as Time magazine covers) as well as—more recently—to born-digital content (such as selfies on Instagram)

No full textThis study aims to improve the knowledge about the market of varietal wines made from autochthon grape varieties characterized by narrow spread. For this purpose, an hedonic price function has been estimated in order to verify, first, if these wines are able to obtain a premium price and, second, to quantify the amount of it. The analysis has been based on a sample of wines made in Apulia, an Italian region characterized by a strong tradition in wine production and consumption. The results can have important implications in order to steer the wine production towards new market opportunities. In particular, this study shows favorable conditions for a wider supply of varietal wines made from minor autochthon grape varieties although there are still some important problems to overcome
Entrepreneurability: Innovation Labs as Engines of Innovation Capacity Development
No full textIn the current political-economic scenario, creativity and innovation are increasingly considered the key to organizations’ survival. Innovation is a high-risk process that hides various uncertainty factors and several barriers. The key challenge is how to innovate successfully and cope with the pace of innovation, rather than deciding if it is worth innovating or not. We use the notion of entrepreneurability to refer to organizations and individuals’ ability to develop an innovation capacity. In particular, this chapter aims to investigate the role of Innovation Laboratories (Innovation Labs) as an engine of entrepreneurability, e.g., of innovation capacity development. The chapter introduces an understanding of what an Innovation Lab is. It acknowledges that, in recent years, many organizations are experimenting with different forms of labs, centers of competence, and more generally initiatives to boost innovation capacity. Defining the notion of Innovation Lab aims to provide managers with a conceptual framework to understand, from a descriptive and a prescriptive viewpoint, the setup of organizational units and initiatives for innovation capacity development
