Do you want cookies?:Trust dynamics and educational gaps in the datafied risk society
Get PDFAccepting cookies is an activity that most internet users routinely perform multiple times a day. Cookies are just one of the many ways in which our behaviours and preferences are tracked online and rendered into quantified bits – data. This process of rendering all aspects of life into data is called datafication, and it is today pervasive due to powerful digital tools and inexpensive storage solutions. However, the datafication process also generates risks, as individuals may lose their ability to control the flow of information about themselves – i.e., their privacy. In the thesis I apply the Risk Society perspective proposed by Ulrich Beck to the study of datafication, to explain the uneven acknowledgment of privacy risks unfolding within the datafied society. In particular, I investigate the datafied risk society by focusing on two main questions: first, are risks induced by datafication acknowledged, and what happens once they are uncovered? And second, what is the role of knowledge in recognizing such risks?The questions are addressed in four studies, which are based on a mix of quantitative analytical techniques applied to secondary data and survey data specifically collected for the purposes of the thesis. Results of the empirical chapters show that privacy risks are often not acknowledged: for instance, people tend to be willing to accept a privacy-intrusive vaccination certificate in the context of the COVID-19, especially when they have a high trust in the government and in science. In addition, even when confronted with the misuse of data following the Cambridge Analytica scandal, I do not detect a large drop in trust in social media. Results also show that education plays a role in shielding from privacy risks, since higher educated individuals appear more skeptical of online surveillance and are more prone to protect privacy online. While datafication facilitates many societal operations, it also induces privacy risks which are made more acute if citizens keep ‘accepting cookies’ uncritically. In addition, measures should be introduced to ensure that vulnerable individuals are not further penalized by datafication processes, for instance by introducing online privacy skills early in the educational curricula.<br/

Gauge Fields and Strings
Get PDFBased on his own work, the author synthesizes the most promising approaches and ideals in field theory today. He presents such subjects as statistical mechanics, quantum field theory and their interrelation, continuous global symmetry, non-Abelian gauge fields, instantons and the quantam theory of loops, and quantum strings and random surfaces. This book is aimed at postgraduate students studying field theory and statistical mechanics, and for research workers in continuous global theory

Musikstädte as real and imaginary soundscapes: urban musical images as literary motifs in twentieth-century German modernism
No full textPhDThis study examines German literary images of musical life as part of the wider sound identity of the modern German city at the turn of the twentieth century. Focussing on a forty-year period from 1890 to 1930, synonymous with the emergence of the modern German metropolis as an aesthetic object, the project assesses, compares and contrasts how musical life in the Musikstädte was perceived and portrayed by writers in an increasingly noisy urban environment. How does urban musical life influence and condition city writings? What are the differences and similarities between the writings on various musical cities? Can an urban textual sound identity be derived from these differences and similarities? The approach employed to answer these questions is a new, cross-disciplinary one to urban sound in literature, moving beyond reading the key sounds of the urban soundscape using urban musicology, sensorial anthropology and cultural poetics towards a literary contextualisation of the urban aural experience.
The literary motifs of the symphony, the gramophone and urban noise are put under the spotlight through the analysis of a wide range of modernist works by authors who have a special relationship with music. At the centre of this analysis are the Kaffeehausliteratur authors Hermann Bahr, Alfred Polgar and Peter Altenberg, the then Munich-based author Thomas Mann and the lesser known René Schickele. The analysis of these particular works is framed in the music-geographical context of the Musikstadt and literary underpinnings of this topos, ranging from Ingeborg Bachmann to Hans Mayer and, once again, Thomas Mann. In analysing these texts, the methodological approach devised by Strohm, who identifies the blending of a range of urban sounds as a definition of urban space and identity, is applied. His ideas combine historical literary
analysis, musical history and urban sociology. They are rarely used in the analysis of the auditory environment.Arts and Humanities Research Council
