Short abstract:This paper brings a media theoretical perspective on mediatized wars. It argues that the affordances and use cultures of popular social media platforms turn wars into live media events, involving both people who are living under war and those joining in from a distance.Long abstract:This paper brings a media theoretical perspective on mediatized wars. It argues that the affordances and use cultures of popular social media platforms turn wars into live media events in which liveness – a sense of “being now here together” (Hammelburg, 2021) – involves both people who are living under war and those joining in from a distance.This involvement is of a very different kind than what we know from earlier wars that were mediated through radio and television; the logics of platformed media have permeated and transformed everyday life (Altheide, 2018; Deuze, 2012; Hepp, 2019). Many people living under war share their personal experiences and thoughts through TikTok and Instagram, involving followers worldwide as witnesses at a distance. Further, these war followers are not only involved as witnesses, very often they also add their own social media content to the “event-sphere” (Volkmer and Deffner, 2010) of the war, and by doing so they write themselves into it.Drawing from media theory on liveness and empirical material – photos and videos – from TikTok and Instagram concerning the wars in Ukraine and Russia, and Israel and Gaza, this paper shows how wars as live events are constructed. In its analyses of different modes of involvement in these live war event-spheres, it addresses the issue of positionality.

While live event experiences have become increasingly mediatized, the prevalence of ephemeral content and diverse forms of (semi)private communication in social media platforms have complicated the study of these mediatized experiences as an outsider. This article proposes an ethnographic approach to studying mediatized event experiences from the inside, carrying out participatory fieldwork in online and offline festival environments. I argue that this approach both stimulates ethical research behavior and provides unique insights into mediatized practices. To develop this argument, I apply the proposed methodology to examine how festival-goers perceive differences between public and private, permanent and ephemeral when sharing their live event experiences through social media platforms. Drawing on a substantial dataset containing online and offline participant observations, media diaries, and (short in situ and longer in-depth) interviews with 379 event-goers, this article demonstrates the value of an ethnographic approach for creating thick descriptions of mediatized behavior in digital platforms.

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed many aspects of people’s lives, and seems to have affected people’s wellbeing and relation to technology now, and in the future. Not only has it changed people’s lives and the way citizens live, work, exercise, craft and stay connected, the pandemic has also altered the way Human Computer Interaction (HCI) professionals can engage in face-to-face interactions and consequently participatory, human-centered design and research. Limitations in being close to others and having physical, visible and shared interactions pose a challenge as these aspects are typically considered critical for the accomplishment of a transparent, attractive and critical understanding of technology and respective civic and digital engagement for wellbeing. Consequently, the risk now observed is that citizens in the new ‘normal’ digital society, particularly vulnerable groups, are beingeven less connected, supported or heard. Drawing from a study with an expert panel of 20 selected HCI related professionals in The Netherlands that participated on-line (through focus groups, questionnaires and/or interviews) discussing co-creation for wellbeing in times of COVID-19 (N=20), and civic values for conditional data sharing (N=11), this paper presents issues encountered and potential new approaches to overcome participatory challenges in the ‘new’ digital society. This study further draws on project reporting and a ‘one week in the life of’ study in times of COVID-19 with a physical toolkit for remote data collection that was used with older adults (65+, N=13) and evaluated with professionals (N=6). Drawing on such projects and professional experiences, the paper discusses some opportunities of participatory approaches for the new ‘distant’ normal.

In this paper, we explore the design of web-based advice robots to enhance users' confidence in acting upon the provided advice. Drawing from research on algorithm acceptance and explainable AI, we hypothesise four design principles that may encourage interactivity and exploration, thus fostering users' confidence to act. Through a value-oriented prototype experiment and valueoriented semi-structured interviews, we tested these principles, confirming three of them and identifying an additional principle. The four resulting principles: (1) put context questions and resulting advice on one page and allow live, iterative exploration, (2) use action or change oriented questions to adjust the input parameters, (3) actively offer alternative scenarios based on counterfactuals, and (4) show all options instead of only the recommended one(s), appear to contribute to the values of agency and trust. Our study integrates the Design Science Research approach with a Value Sensitive Design approach.

The aim of this paper is twofold. First, it puts forward an ethnographic approach for studying content production within events. Second, drawing from substantial interview material, it shows how festival-goers perceive differences between public and private, and permanent and ephemeral when sharing their live event experiences.

Booklet met bevinden van het project 'Samen zichtbaar duurzaam' dat zich richt op de vraag: “hoe maken we zichtbaar dat duurzame verandering mogelijk en wenselijk is?”Binnen en buiten de HvA zijn er hoge ambities om met verschillende benaderingen en praktijkgericht onderzoek duurzame verandering teweeg te brengen. Mede dankzij de betrokken lectoraten, Centres of Expertise en de Green Office worden er steeds meer zaadjes geplant en verbindingen gelegd rondom het thema Duurzaamheid. Toch gebeurt het nog veel dat men niet van elkaar af weet en worden best en worst practices niet met elkaar gedeeld. Dit project wil daar zichtbare verandering in brengen. Vanuit verschillende technische, digitale en creatieve kanten, en met studenten, docenten, onderzoekers en de praktijk wordt het thema duurzame verandering op zichtbare, creatieve, interactieve enspeelse wijze benaderd.Dit project is onderdeel van de Cross-overregeling. Deze zogenaamde cross-overregeling is een initiatief van het Centre of Expertise for Creative Innovation (CoECI)en het Centre of Expertise City Net Zero (voorheen UT). De projecten die een financiële bijdrage hebben gekregen gaan over complexe uitdagingen uit de Metropoolregio Amsterdam, die vragen om een integrale benadering, met input vanuit verschillende disciplines. De regeling beoogt nieuwe samenwerkingen tussen verschillende disciplines en tussen onderwijs en onderzoek aan te jagen.

Het Sint Pietersplein loopt over, de straten in Rome zijn niet langer begaanbaar, alle accommodaties in de wijde omtrek zijn volgeboekt, de hele wereld is vertegenwoordigd bij de uitvaartmis van de op 2 april 2005 gestorven paus Johannes Paulus II, die jong en oud, regeringsleiders en jan-van-de-straat weet te treffen. Een paus die de mogelijkheid van wereldeenheid zichtbaar maakt. Wat vindt deze Paus van de Europese Unie? Welke effecten heeft hij gehad op Europa? Allereerst iets over zijn persoon en zijn visie op mens en wereld.
