Une définition précise de la « culture numérique » passe par une description de ceux qui participent à son élaboration et par un détour historique qui nous précise les termes de la culture de l'écrit. Les lettrés du numérique semblent plus répandus au sein des disciplines qui font un grand usage des ordinateurs et des réseaux. Leur culture « technique » leur permet d'élaborer une critique de l'internet et d'investir le champ des humanités numériques. Ils sont accompagnés par quelques représentants des sciences sociales et par des « hackers », plus proches de l'université qu'on ne le croit. En revanche, le grand public subit plus cette nouvelle culture qu'il n'y contribue. Car les multinationales de l'écrit sont les premiers façonneurs de cette culture de l'écrit contemporain, au point d'en dessiner les normes morales et politiques. ; A precise definition of Digital Culture needs a description of people involved in its development and a historical detour that tells us how written culture was built. Digital scholars seem more prevalent among disciplines that make extensive use of computers and networks. Their technical culture allows them to develop a critique of the internet and to invest the field of Digital Humanities. They are accompanied by some representatives of the social sciences and by "hackers", closer to the University than we imagine. However, the public at large suffers more this new culture rather than contributing to it. For the multinationals are the major shapers of this modern written culture, to the point of designing the moral and political standards.

Abstract: This literature study researched Adbusters, the anti-commercial organization, and described the organization's activities and media usage, mainly in the period of 2007-2010, which critized the populer culture. Adbusters is an organization which performs "Culture Jammingâ€; a rebellious act reacting towards commercialism domination in many aspects including popular culture. Compared to other similar organizations, Adbusters has been executing more various activisms using several media which other organizations do not use. This study used the Adbusters' official website and blogs as main data sources. The data of Adbusters' activities and media usage were categorized and analyzed, thus the tendency of its development can be described. This study also analyzed Adbusters' activity using Media Hegemony Theory and Political Economy Media Theory. The media has been dominated by a certain group that owns politic and economic power, so the information flow has been dominated by them. Media and its contents have been commercialized, thus capitalism and commercialism have been considered as a common system that should run the world. Adbusters has been trying to stop the domination and change the society's way of thinking into a more critical way of thinking. Abstrak: Studi literatur ini meneliti tentang Adbusters, sebuah organisasi anti komersial, dengan mendeskripsikan aktivitas serta penggunaan media organisasi tersebut dari tahun 2007-2010 dalam mengkritisi budaya populer. Adbusters adalah organisasi yang melakukan Culture Jamming, aksi perlawanan terhadap dominasi komersialisme di segala aspek termasuk popular culture. Dibandingkan dengan organisasi lain yang serupa, aktivitas Adbusters lebih bervariasi dan menggunakan media-media yang tidak biasa digunakan organisasi lain. Penelitian ini menggunakan situs online resmi Adbusters sebagai sumber data utama. Data mengenai aktivitas dan penggunaan media Adbusters dikategorisasi dan dianalisis sehingga kecenderungan perkembangan organisasi ini dapat dideskripsikan. Penelitian ini juga menganalisis kegiatan Adbusters menggunakan Teori Hegemoni Media dan Teori Media Ekonomi Politik. Media telah didominasi oleh kelompok tertentu yang memiliki kekuasaan ekonomi serta politik, sehingga alur informasi juga didominasi kelompok tersebut. Media dan kontennya telah menjadi produk komersial, sehingga kapitalisme dan komersialisme itu sendiri dianggap sebagai sistem yang memang sudah seharusnya dijalankan di dunia. Adbusters berusaha menghentikan dominasi tersebut dan mengubah cara pikir masyarakat menjadi lebih kritis.

Purpose – The article indicates how companies may prepare for and deal with cultural differences. Because the research base is still rather limited an overall perspective may not be realised.Approach – After discussing definitions and concepts of culture, as well as values, cultural differences between states are discussed, illustrated by a practical example how to prepare for these differences. The focus on states may be explained from the recognition that states still are the source of political, economic and legal frameworks and hence, also the framework for doing business.Originality – The idea of a cultural competence has hardly been developed but at the same time both business and the multicultural society are asking for it. This cultural competence is an integral combination of knowledge, skills and attitudes for dealing with cultural differences between people.Implications – Globalising business needs to develop the cultural competence of its managers. Within the EU this applies to nearly all production facilities and quite a few service providers.Further research – Business needs practical approaches between simple sets of rules for behaviour and scientific approach.

Political culture refers to the values and political conduct of individual or collective agents. As a concept it is as old as the analysis of politics itself. Aristotle wrote about a "state of mind" that could inspire either political change or stability; Machiavelli stressed the role of the values and feelings of identity and commitment; Burke praised the "cake of custom" that enabled political institutions to fulfil their aims; Tocqueville emphasized moeurs as the key determinants of the character of a particular society. But the contemporary understanding of political culture has been uniquely influenced by Gabriel Almond and Sidney Verba's classic behaviorist formulation in the Civic Culture (1963), leading up to today's multicausal, relational, and mixed methods approaches to the study of the concept (Thompson, Ellis, & Wildavsky, 1990). As a result of this methodological diversity, political culture has ceased to be narrowly identified with the attitudes toward government of political agents, to be measured in the aggregate and then compared across political systems, or even more broadly conceived as a process in which political meaning is constructed in the interplay between the attitudes of individual citizens and the language and symbolic systems in which they are embedded. Contemporary analysis of political culture is a broad church, taking in everything from data collection on political opinions, attitudes, and values conducted by means of structured interviews with representative samples of citizens (e.g., Inglehart, 1997), to interpretive approaches that use a range of qualitative methods to clarify how political identities are generated, or how symbols and rhetoric can generate compliance or conflict, to discussions of why some ethnic identities become radicalized and others do not. The field has become so broad, that it is hard to pinpoint what is political culture and what is not.

This collection includes eighteen essays that introduce the concept of unpopular culture and explore its critical possibilities and ramifications from a large variety of perspectives. Proposing a third term that operates beyond the dichotomy of high culture and mass culture and yet offers a fresh approach to both, these essays address a multitude of different topics that can all be classified as unpopular culture. From David Foster Wallace and Ernest Hemingway to Zane Grey and fan fiction, from Christian Rock and Country to Black Metal, from Steven Seagal to Genesis (Breyer) P-Orridge, fromThe Simpsons to The Real Housewives, from natural disasters to 9/11, from thesis hatements to professional sports, these essays find the unpopular across media and genres, and they analyze the politics and the aesthetics of an unpopular culture (and the unpopular in culture) that has not been duly recognized as such by the theories and methods of cultural studies.

La finalidad de este artículo es revisitar el complejo concepto de cultura política, reflexionando sobre el origen, la existencia de diferentes culturas políticas, los debates suscitados, la dificultad metodológica de su aplicación y la utilidad que su uso reporta a la Ciencia Política. Para ello se repasan las teorías clásicas de la cultura política y las críticas que han recibido teniendo en cuenta factores territoriales, históricos, psicológicos, institucionales y metodológicos que culminan en la propuesta de un nuevo esquema interpretativo. ; The purpose of this article is to revisit the complex concept of political culture.

Increasing interest in applying the theory and practice of deliberative democracy to new and varied political contexts leads us to ask whether or not deliberation is a universal political practice. While deliberation does manifest a universal competence

Organization is characterized by the different senses of culture and uniqueness that distinguish one's entity from others. Culture plays an important role in organization as a good culture can provide organization support to achieve goals. Organizational culture acts as a guideline for an individual's daily behavior that will influence the decision-making process and provide direction for leaders and members to achieve organizational goals. In its creation, organizational culture was built according to organization circumstances. Organizational culture has important roles in the maintenance and development of the organization's vision and mission. Organizational culture is an essential tool in the improvement of organizational performance and member capability. Therefore, there is an need for the Karawitan Dance Activity Unit (UKTK) of Universitas Airlangga to project the state of the existing and expected culture of the organization. By conducting cultural mapping, existing visions and missions of an organization can be transformed. Organizational culture was measured by the Organizational Culture Assessment (OCA) method. The measurement is held by distributing instruments and contains 20 questions. The questionnaire was distributed to both leaders and members of the UKTK Airlangga University and its aim was to identify the expected culture of the university relative to the reality of culture. The results of the questionnaire showed that respondents felt the culture at the UKTK is of a mechanistic nature. Similarly, the expected culture of the UKTK is of a mechanistic nature. The compatibility between cultural reality and expectations in the UKTK supports organizational goals. This situation can generate good relationships between the leaders and members of the UKTK Airlangga University which results in harmony throughout the organization. The existing mechanistic organizational culture can be seen as a strategy by which to achieve the objectives of the UKTK in Airlangga University. The results of the study can also strengthen the organizational culture as it can be a powerful means by which to control and increase the consistent behavior of members of the organization. In addition, the awareness of the existing organizational culture can facilitate the implementation of work programs agreed upon by the UKTK organization of Airlangga University.

Free Culture is a documentary short that aims to promote user-autonomy in the digital age, with a focus on culture proliferations. The film takes a look a critical stance against the Digital Millennium Copyright act, arguing it is unenforceable through either legislative or technical means. To support this viewpoint, interviews with Yochai Benkler of the Harvard Law School and Fred von Lohmann, Senior Copyright Council to Google, are provided. While threats to the DMCA, such as piracy, are often seen as illegal criminal action, they signify a changing environment. One man taking advantage of this is Benn Jordan, a.k.a. The Flashbulb, an established musician who has toured around the world and also composes tracks for film and television. Benn's story is unique. In 2008, he discovered his music online, unaware and unpaid. After contacting Apple multiple times and sending them Cease and Desist letters, Benn pirated his own album. The response was overwhelming and his story went viral. Divorced from the industry, Benn harnessed the power of the internet to start his own label. In our conversation he mentioned that he makes more money now selling 3,000 albums than most artists make selling 25,000. Key to his success was free access to information. To explore the effects of this, I traveled to the Wilson Park community center in Syracuse, NY to see how a tech center in a poor community is changing the lives of children. This film created from found footage, interviews, and animations I created.
