Understanding transmedial storytelling is particularly important to fairy-tale studies. Monomedial views have long been unable to account for all of fairy tale tradition. Although the form originated in oral culture, it has long been a liminal, hybrid form that retains aspects of orality even while its principal mode of transference for some time has been something other than face-to-face communication. Transformations and adaptations across different media and contexts has resulted in a system of fairy-tale tradition that is massively intertextual and transmedial. No one medium can claim primary control over the fairy-tale tradition. Throughout time, oral tellings have inspired literary adaptations; literary renditions have influenced oral and theater performances; oral, print, and theater performances have spawned any number of retellings and adaptations within audiovisual media. This case study, investigates one example of adaptation to social media and integration across media: Tim Manley's satirical blog Fairy Tales for Twenty-somethings and his book Alice in Tumblr-land. In Manley's fairy tale creations, we see an instance of what Henry Jenkins calls convergence culture. This convergence should be of particular interest to folklorists because corporate and mass-media systems continue to influence and integrate with existing forms of interaction. Manley's overall narrative approach integrates two media, which permits him to use fairy tales to express a broader range of narrative impulses than would a project tied to only one medium. Media integration is an important concept to recognize and investigate because so many individuals see different media as inherently combative rather than mutually beneficial systems. Just as intertextuality has become a foundational concept in many humanistic studies, intermediality needs to enter the folklorist's discussions as well. With only some media under consideration, we only get some of the message.

Il blog ha compiuto un percorso di rapido sviluppo, diventando spesso nei discorsi sociali l'emblema di un modo di intendere la rete che ha preso oggi l'etichetta di “Web 2.0”. La sua diffusione non è solo l'esito di una particolare configurazione tecnologica, ma anche di un intreccio di dinamiche economiche, sociali e culturali che hanno mutato la loro forma nel tempo. Lo scopo del presente lavoro è quello di seguire la traiettoria di questo sviluppo, individuandone gli snodi critici attraverso gli strumenti concettuali forniti dal paradigma del Social Shaping of Technology applicato, in questo caso, ad un oggetto che combina la duplice natura di artefatto culturale e strumento di Comunicazione Mediata da Computer. A questo scopo si è, in primo luogo, ricostruita l'evoluzione storica del blog, rileggendola poi alla luce delle quattro dimensioni istituzionale, economica, tecnologica e culturale, da cui è emersa la centralità della figura dell'autore del blog. Su questa base si è articolato un percorso di ricerca sul campo, condotto con una metodologia qualitativa e multi-situata, al fine di evidenziare le dinamiche di appropriazione microsociale del blog, in cui sono stati individuati gli aspetti cruciali del suo modellamento sociale. / Weblogs developed very rapidly during the last years, by often becoming the symbol of the recognition of the Web as “Web 2.0” in the social discourses. Not only is its diffusion the outcome of a particular technological configuration, but also of a network of economical, social, cultural factors that have changed their shape in the course of time. The goal of this research is to follow the path of this development through the conceptual frame provided by the Social Shaping of Technology applied, in this case, to an object that is both an artefact and a form of Computer Mediated Communication. Firstly, to the purpose, the historical evolution of blog has been reconstructed; then, the trend of the institutional, economical, technological, cultural dimensions has been outlined whereas the author's central role in blog's dynamics emerged. On this basis a field research was carried out and accomplished with a qualitative, multi-sited methodology, in order to highlight the microsocial blog processes of appropriation, in which the main aspects of social shaping has been identified.

A internet e as novas tecnologias de comunicação e informação vêm transformando as relações sociais e o modo de pensar e agir da sociedade contemporânea, particularmente no que diz respeito a espaços de encontro, partilha, interação, discussão de ideias e temas de interesse comum. A expressão do luto na internet tem sido observada com frequência no ciberespaço, especialmente em blogs e redes sociais. Assim, é relevante investigar as repercussões desta prática nos processos de enfretamento do luto. Objetivo: Compreender a experiência de mães enlutadas sobre a criação e manutenção de um blog temático relacionado à perda de um filho. Método: Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, a partir da etnografia virtual, com análise de blogs de autoria de mães, cuja temática principal é a perda de um filho. Participaram deste estudo seis mães e respectivos blogs seis de sua autoria. Os dados foram obtidos a partir de observação participante, entrevista semiestruturada e formulário de análise dos blogs. A análise comparativa dos dados permitiu conhecer a experiência das mães ao criar e manter um blog sobre a perda de um filho. Experiência esta composta por seis unidades temáticas: Entrando em contato com a perda, Criação do blog, Cultura do blog, Interações on e off line, Enfrentando o luto e Buscando significado na perda, que se interrelacionam ao longo da experiência. A articulação das temáticas, discutidas à luz de referenciais explicativos afins, contribui para a compreensão da experiência de Ocupar-se de blogar uma estratégia de enfrentamento do luto e restauração da vida de mães após a perda de um filho. Resultados: O ato de ocupar-se de blogar foi analisado como estratégia mediadora do enfrentamento do luto e restauração da vida de mães após a perda de um filho, em movimentos alternados. Ao enfrentar o luto, através da atividade de blogar, as mães tiveram a oportunidade de entrar em contato com a perda, desenvolver estratégias de enfrentamento do luto e buscar sentido e significado para a perda. Alternadamente ao movimento de enfrentamento do luto, foi possível, às mães, vivenciarem oportunidades de restauração/restabelecimento da vida. Assim, a experiência contribuiu ora para a vivência e ressignificação da perda, ora para a restauração da vida após a perda do filho, em movimentos alternados. Ao criar blogs sobre a perda de um filho, de acordo com cultura em rede, as mães produziram interações sociais, que contribuíram para o apoio e o suporte social, além de ressignificação da vida e das ocupações, apesar da perda. Considerações finais: A prática de ocupar-se de blogar sobre a perda de um filho constitui-se em espaços virtuais de expressão, escuta, apoio e suporte social para as mães, num contexto social em que a acolhida ao luto é restrita. Os resultados contribuem para instrumentalizar as equipes de saúde a implementarem, a partir do ciberespaço e de novas tecnologias de informação e comunicação, estratégias de cuidado ao enlutado que o auxiliem a restabelecer e reorganizar a vida, ressignificar suas relações com o falecido, consigo e com o mundo que o cerca. / Introduction: The internet and new communication and information technologies are transforming social interactions and the way of thinking and acting of contemporary society, particularly regarding meeting environments, sharing, interacting, discussing ideas and issues of common interest. The mourning expression on the Internet has been frequently observed in cyberspace, especially in blogs and social networks. Therefore, it is relevant to investigate the repercussions of this practice in the coping processes. Objective: To understand the experience of bereaved mothers about the creation and maintenance of a thematic blog related to loss of a child. Methods: This is a qualitative research, based on virtual ethnography, with analysis of blogs written by bereaved mothers, in which their main theme is the loss of their children. The study included six mothers and their six blogs. Data were gathered through participant observation, semi-structured interviews and an analysis sheet for each blog. The comparative analysis of the data allowed the comprehension of the experience of mothers in creating and maintaining a blog about the loss of a child. This experience consists of six thematic units: Getting in touch with the loss, Creating the blog, The culture of the blog, Interacting on and offline, Facing grief and Seeking meaning in loss, that are interrelated through the experience. The articulation of the thematic units, discussed in light of related theoretical framework, contributes to understanding the experience Getting busy by blogging a grief coping strategy and life restoration experience for mothers after the loss of a child. Results: The act of blogging was analyzed as either a grief coping strategy or a life restoration for mothers after the loss of a child, in an alternation movement. When facing grief through blogging activity, mothers had the opportunity to get in touch with loss, develop grief coping strategies and to search for meaning and significance to the loss. Alternating with the grief coping motion, it was possible, for mothers, to experience opportunities for restoration/restoration of life. So, the experience contributed to reframing the loss, and for restoring their own lives after the loss of their children. By creating blogs on the loss of a child, according to network culture, mothers created social interactions, which increased their social support, as well as gave them a redefinition of life and occupations, despite their loss. Final considerations: the act of blogging about the loss of a child creates a virtual space for expressing, listening, supporting and receiving social support for mothers in a social context in which the reception to mourning is limited. The results contribute to instrumentalize health professionals to implement care strategies, using cyberspace and new information and communication technologies, that assist grieving persons to restore and reorganize their lives, reframe their relationship with the deceased, with themselves and the world around them.

<p>Purpose  <br />The purpose of this paper is from a consumer perspective analysis whether or not blogs are affecting a customer’s purchase behaviour to a larger extent compared to traditional marketing methods through TV commercials. Additionally, within the scope of this try to identify the type of consumers that are more influenced to a purchase decision by blog contents compared to others.<br /><br />Methods <br />Through a quantitative approach this study will examine the effectiveness of advertising in blogs. A survey was used in order to collect data where the respondents corresponded to the population in Sweden in the ages 15-79. Initially the size of the blog audience was estimated and thereafter it was examined how many of these that were affected towards a purchase decision by blogs. Finally a profile of these highly interesting individuals was presented based on demographic variables. In parallel the traditional marketing channel – TV commercials – was analysed in the same manner. Subsequently, to be able to map out the effectiveness of blogs a distinct comparison to TV commercials were made.<br /><br />Conclusions<br />More than half of the population is reading blogs to some extent and a tenth of these are reading blogs regularly. The success of blogs can largely be attributed to the fact that the usage of the Internet is growing in today’s society and to interact with new media is enticing. The majority, 82 % are avoiding TV commercials by either switching channels or leaving the TV set. 30 % are affected in their purchase behaviour by recommendations received via blogs while a mere 8 % admit that they are influenced by TV commercials. Based on these conclusions it is determined that blogs are a fairly effective marketing channel. The ideal target group for blog marketing is women between the ages 15-29 that are single, living in a large city in the middle of Sweden, with an unknown occupation and prefer fashion and music blogs.</p> / <p>Syfte<br />Syftet med uppsatsen är att utifrån konsumentperspektivet utforska huruvida och i så fall varför bloggar påverkar konsumentens köpbeteende i större utsträckning än den traditionella marknadsföringsmetoden via TV-reklam, samt att inom ramen för detta söka identifiera de konsumenter som påverkas mest till köpbeslut av bloggars innehåll.</p><p>Metod<br />Genom ett kvantitativt tillvägagångssätt belyser studien effektiviteten av reklam via bloggar.
