Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about Erving Goffman’s frame analysis as it, on the one hand, was presented in his 1974 book Frame Analysis and, on the other, was actually conducted in a number of preceding substantial analyses of different aspects of social interaction such as face-work, impression management, fun in games, behavior in public places and stigmatization. There was, in other words, a frame analytic continuity in Goffman’s work. In an article published after his death in 1982, Goffman also maintained that he throughout his career had been studying the same object: the interaction order. In this book, the author states that Goffman also applied an overarching perspective on social interaction: the dynamic relation between ritualization, vulnerability and working consensus. However, there were also cracks in Goffman ́s work and one is shown here with reference to the leading question in Frame Analysis – what is it that’s going on here? While framed on a "microsocial" level, that question ties in with "the interaction order" and frame analysis as a method. If, however, it is framed on a societal level, it mirrors metareflective and metasocial manifestations of changes and unrest in the interaction order that, in some ways, herald the emphasis on contingency, uncertainty and risk in later sociology. Through analyses of social media as a possible new interaction order – where frame disputes are frequent – and of interactional power, the applicability of Goffman’s frame analysis is illustrated. As such, this book will appeal to scholars and students of social theory, classical sociology and social interaction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book aims to map the diversity of meanings of gender equality across Europe and reflects on the contested concept of gender equality. In its exploration of the diverse meanings of gender equality it not only takes into account the existence of different visions of gender equality, and the way in which different political and theoretical debates crosscut these visions, but also reflects upon the geographical contexts in which visions and debates over gender equality are located. The contextual locations where these visions and debates take place include the European Union and member states such as Austria, the Netherlands, Hungary, Slovenia, Greece, and Spain. In all of these settings, the different meanings of gender equality are explored comparatively in relation to the issues of family policies, domestic violence, and gender inequality in politics, while specific national contexts discuss the issues of prostitution (Austria, Slovenia), migration (the Netherlands), homosexual rights (Spain), and antidiscrimination (Hungary). The multiple meanings of gender equality are studied through Critical Frame Analysis, a methodology that builds on social movement theory and that was refined further with elements of gender and political theory within the context of the MAGEEQ research project

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores how news media construct social issues and events and thereby convey certain perceptions within the scope of framing theory. By operationalizing media framing as a process of interpretation through defining problem, diagnosing causes, making moral judgments and suggesting solutions, the book proposes a systematic and transparent approach to images in news discourse. Based on a frame analysis, it examines how German news media framed a list of China-related issues and events, and thereby conveyed particular beliefs and opinions on this country. Moreover, it investigates whether there were dominant patterns of interpretation and the extent to which diverse views were evident by comparing two major daily newspapers with opposite political orientations - the FAZ and the taz. Motivated by the relationship between image and reality, the book explores image formation and persistence from media construction of meaning and human cognitive complexity in perceiving others. Media select certain issues and events and then interpret them from particular perspectives. A variety of professional and non-professional factors behind news making may result in biased representations. In addition, from a social psychological perspective, inaccurate perceptions of foreign cultures may arise from categorical thinking, biased processing of stimulus information, intergroup conflicts of interest and in-group favoritism. Accordingly, whether media coverage deviates from reality is not the main concern of this book; instead, it emphasizes the underlying logics upon which the conclusions and judgments were drawn. It therefore contributes to a rational understanding of Western discourse and holds practical implications for both Chinese public diplomacy and a more constructive role of news media in promoting the understanding of others.

Book excerpt: The first project in chapter one which is Canny Edge Detector presented here is a graphical user interface (GUI) application built using Tkinter in Python. This application allows users to open video files (of formats like mp4, avi, or mkv) and view them along with their corresponding Canny edge detection frames. The application provides functionalities such as playing, pausing, stopping, navigating through frames, and jumping to specific times within the video. Upon opening the application, users are greeted with a clean interface comprising two main sections: the video display panel and the control panel. The video display panel consists of two canvas widgets, one for displaying the original video and another for displaying the Canny edge detection result. These canvases allow users to visualize the video and its corresponding edge detection in real-time. The control panel houses various buttons and widgets for controlling the video playback and interaction. Users can open video files using the "Open Video" button, select a zoom scale for viewing convenience, jump to specific times within the video, play/pause the video, stop the video, navigate through frames, and even open another instance of the application for simultaneous use. The core functionality lies in the methods responsible for displaying frames and performing Canny edge detection. The show_frame() method retrieves frames from the video, resizes them based on the selected zoom scale, and displays them on the original video canvas. Similarly, the show_canny_frame() method applies the Canny edge detection algorithm to the frames, enhances the edges using dilation, and displays the resulting edge detection frames on the corresponding canvas. The application also supports mouse interactions such as dragging to pan the video frames within the canvas and scrolling to navigate through frames. These interactions are facilitated by event handling methods like on_press(), on_drag(), and on_scroll(), ensuring smooth user experience and intuitive control over video playback and exploration. Overall, this project provides a user-friendly platform for visualizing video content and exploring Canny edge detection results, making it valuable for educational purposes, research, or practical applications involving image processing and computer vision.
