The portrayal of underlings in Eastern Cālukya copper plates: textual analysis data with revised codebook
<p>This is a textual analysis dataset derived from Eastern Cālukya copperplate grants. The second version of 24 April 2024 contains a slightly revised codebook (in DOC and PDF formats with identical contents) in addition to the earlier dataset. This revision is essentially identical to that reflected in the "Revised tag" column of the dataset, except that many definitions have been made clearer and tidier, and a small number of intermediate-level categories have been added for better hierarchisation. The codes in use have not been altered.</p> <p><br>The data accompany the following forthcoming publications (title and date of publication subject to change):</p> <p>Balogh, Dániel (forthcoming 2024), 'The portrayal of underlings in Eastern Cālukya copper plates'.

The Apocalypse Within: Portraying Psychological Resilience and Anti-Fragility Through Games Like Hellblade (teaser)
<p>This teaser video introduces an upcoming talk that explores the concept of "inner apocalypses" through the lens of video games, particularly Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice. The presentation challenges traditional notions of apocalyptic narratives by shifting focus from external, global catastrophes to internal, psychological struggles.</p> <p>Key points covered in the teaser:</p> <ol> <li>The transformation of apocalypse narratives in media</li> <li>Analysis of Hellblade as a case study in portraying inner turmoil</li> <li>The intersection of gaming, mental health, and societal anxieties</li> </ol> <p>The full talk, presented by Dr. Victoria Mummelthei, will delve into how games can model psychological resilience and antifragility, offering unique perspectives on confronting personal and collective challenges. This interdisciplinary approach combines insights from game studies, cultural analysis, and psychology to shed light on contemporary anxieties and coping mechanisms.</p> <p>This teaser serves as an invitation to viewers to engage with a broader conversation about the power of interactive media in exploring complex psychological landscapes and fostering understanding of mental health issues.<br><br>Image credits:</p> <ol> <li>Screenshot from the game, taken by the author.</li> <li>https://flic.kr/p/2ou9ujt</li> <li>https://flic.kr/p/YAxXDg</li> <li>https://flic.kr/p/2n7JXLD</li> <li>https://flic.kr/p/WZdHCX</li> <li>https://flic.kr/p/YzaF4n</li> <li>https://flic.kr/p/Yj36aw</li> <li>Photo taken by the author at the isle of Anglesey, Wales, 2023.</li> <li>https://flic.kr/p/YiQTFf</li> </ol>
The Apocalypse Within: Portraying Psychological Resilience and Anti-Fragility Through Games Like Hellblade (video essay)
<p>Video essay on the idea of "inner apocalypses" as exemplified by the game Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice, presented during the Future and Reality of Gaming (FROG) Conference, Vienna, October 11–13, 2024.</p> <p>This presentation explores the concept of apocalyptic individuality in video games, with a particular focus on Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice. It examines how games are redefining apocalyptic narratives by shifting from external, world-ending scenarios to deeply personal, psyche-shattering experiences. The talk delves into the portrayal of mental health in gaming, the concept of inner apocalypses, and how interactive media can create shared experiences of personal crises. It discusses the potential of games to foster empathy and understanding of complex psychological states. The presentation concludes by reflecting on how this new approach to apocalyptic narratives in gaming might influence our broader understanding of individual struggle, collective empathy, and the nature of reality itself.</p> <p>-------</p> <p>Voice-over by "Anabelle, The Ghost" created with typecast.ai.<br>Music by Guilherme Bernardes William from Pixabay.</p>
A modest proposal for conducting future research on media portrayals of Islam and Muslims in Indonesia
<p>Recent issues on politics have been dominant in Indonesia that people are divided and become more intolerant of each other. Indonesia has the biggest Muslim population in the world and the role of Islam in Indonesian politics is significant. The current Indonesian government claim that moderate Muslims are loyal to the present political system while the opposing rivals who are often labelled’intolerant and radical Muslims’ by Indonesian mass media often disagree with the central interpretation of democracy in Indonesia. Studies on contributing factors and discourse strategies used in news and articles in secular and Islamic mass media which play a vital role in the construction of Muslim and Islamic identities in Indonesia are, therefore, recommended.</p>
Wildlife documentaries present a diverse, but biased, portrayal of the natural world
<p>1. Wildlife-documentary production has expanded over recent decades, while studies report reduced direct contact with nature. The role of documentaries and other electronic content in educating people about biodiversity is therefore likely to be growing increasingly important. This study investigated whether the content of wildlife documentaries is an accurate reflection of the natural world and whether conservation messaging in documentaries has changed over time.</p> <p>2. We sampled an online film database (n = 105) to quantify the representation of taxa and habitats over time, and compared this with actual taxonomic diversity in the natural world. We assessed whether the precision with which an organism could be identified from the way it was mentioned varied between taxa or across time, and whether mentions of conservation and anthropogenic impacts on the natural world changed over time.</p> <p>3. Mentions of organisms (n = 374) were very biased towards vertebrates (81.1% of mentions) relative to invertebrates (17.9% of mentions), despite vertebrates representing only 3.4% of described species, compared to 74.9% for invertebrates. Mentions were highly variable across groups and between time periods, particularly for insects, fish and reptiles. Plants had a consistently low representation across time periods.</p> <p>4. A range of habitats was represented, the most common being tropical forest and the least common being deep ocean, but there was no change over time.</p> <p>5. Mentions identifiable to species were significantly different between taxa, with 41.8% of mentions of vertebrates identifiable to species compared with just 7.5% of invertebrate mentions and 10% of plant mentions. This did not change over time.</p> <p>6. Conservation was mentioned in 16.2% of documentaries overall but in almost 50% of documentaries in the current decade. Anthropogenic impacts were mentioned in 22.1% of documentaries and never before the 1970s.</p> <p>7. Our results show that documentaries provide a diverse picture of nature with an increasing focus on conservation, with likely benefits for public awareness. However, they overrepresent vertebrate species, potentially directing public attention towards these taxa. We suggest widening the range of taxa featured to redress this and call for a greater focus on threats to biodiversity to improve public awareness.</p>
Media portrayal of the illegal trade in wildlife: The case of turtles in the US and implications for conservation
<p class="MsoNormal">News media framing of instances of illegal wildlife trade provides a window into understanding public perceptions of trade dynamics and potential support for conservation actions. Here, we used 54 known cases of illegal turtle trade in the United States occurring between 1998–2021 as a case study to investigate news media framing of illegal wildlife trade. We synthesized information from these cases and qualitatively analyzed how they were framed in 217 associated news articles. The 54 cases involved the illegal trade of at least 24,000 freshwater turtles of 34 different species; box turtles (<em>Terrapene</em> spp.) were traded the most. Of the known species involved, 23 were listed under one of the CITES Appendices, and 12 were considered threatened by the IUCN. Trade occurred in at least 43 US states and 6 countries. Despite the multifaceted nature of these cases, problem and solution framing was relatively unvarying. Media coverage framed foreign demand, particularly from Asia for high-value pet turtles, as a main driver of illegal trade. Solutions focused on regulations and enforcement which follow global trends in illegal wildlife trade discourses. However, we also found that articles neutralized illegal turtle trade in several ways, reflecting a lack of perceived legitimacy of and necessity for trade rules and enforcement. Without acknowledging longstanding and formerly legal practices in wildlife trading, conservation efforts which focus on regulations and enforcement may be undermined by a lack of normative compliance.</p>
