"Contemporary Vulnerabilities centres on critical reflections about vulnerable moments in research committed to social change. Exploring the many vulnerabilities within social science research, this interdisciplinary collection gathers critical stories, reflections, and analyses about innovative methodologies that engage with unconventional and unexpected spaces of research that scholars inhabit and share. The authors encourage us to collaborate within, reflect on, and confront the frictions of inquiry around social change. Towards an aim of contesting the dominance of Eurocentric epistemologies, the collection includes modes of storytelling and examples of knowledge gathering that are often excluded from academic texts in general and methodological texts in particular. Scholars and students interested in research methodologies and social justice inquiry will find provocation and recognition in this volume."--

Representing Vulnerabilities in Contemporary Literature includes a collection of essays exploring the ways in which recent literary representations of vulnerability may problematize its visibilization from an ethical and aesthetic perspective. Recent technological and scientific developments have accentuated human vulnerability in many and different ways at a cross-national, and even cross-species level. Disability, technological, and ecological vulnerabilities are new foci of interest that add up to gender, precarity and trauma, among others, as forms of vulnerability in this volume. The literary visualization of these vulnerabilities might help raise social awareness of one’s own vulnerabilities as well as those of others so as to bring about global solidarity based on affinity and affect. However, the literary representation of forms of vulnerability might also deepen stigmatization phenomena and trivialize the spectacularization of vulnerability by blunting readers’ affective response towards those products that strive to hold their attention and interest in an information-saturated, global entertainment market.
Risk Detection and Cyber Security for the Success of Contemporary Computing
With the rapid evolution of technology, identifying new risks is a constantly moving target. The metaverse is a virtual space that is interconnected with cloud computing and with companies, organizations, and even countries investing in virtual real estate. The questions of what new risks will become evident in these virtual worlds and in augmented reality and what real-world impacts they will have in an ever-expanding internet of things (IoT) need to be answered. Within continually connected societies that require uninterrupted functionality, cyber security is vital, and the ability to detect potential risks and ensure the security of computing systems is crucial to their effective use and success. Proper utilization of the latest technological advancements can help in developing more efficient techniques to prevent cyber threats and enhance cybersecurity. Risk Detection and Cyber Security for the Success of Contemporary Computing presents the newest findings with technological advances that can be utilized for more effective prevention techniques to protect against cyber threats. This book is led by editors of best-selling and highly indexed publications, and together they have over two decades of experience in computer science and engineering. Featuring extensive coverage on authentication techniques, cloud security, and mobile robotics, this book is ideally designed for students, researchers, scientists, and engineers seeking current research on methods, models, and implementation of optimized security in digital contexts.
