What are meditation and mindfulness?
Meditation is a practice that involves focusing the mind on a particular object, thought, or activity to train attention and awareness, and achieve a mentally clear and emotionally calm state. Mindfulness is a type of meditation that involves paying attention to the present moment without judgment. It involves being fully aware of your thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations, and surrounding environment. Both meditation and mindfulness have been shown to have numerous benefits for mental and physical well-being, including reducing stress, improving focus, and enhancing overall quality of life.

Is loving-kindness meditation sufficient instead of mindfulness meditation?
Loving-kindness meditation and mindfulness meditation serve different purposes and can complement each other. While mindfulness meditation focuses on being present and aware of one's thoughts and feelings without judgment, loving-kindness meditation cultivates feelings of compassion and goodwill towards oneself and others. Both practices can be beneficial for overall well-being, and individuals may choose to incorporate both into their meditation routine for a more holistic approach to mental and emotional health. Ultimately, the effectiveness of each practice depends on the individual's specific needs and goals.

What is the difference between mantra meditation and mindfulness meditation?
Mantra meditation involves focusing on a specific word, phrase, or sound to quiet the mind and cultivate a sense of inner peace. This repetition helps to anchor the mind and prevent distractions. On the other hand, mindfulness meditation involves being fully present in the moment, observing thoughts, feelings, and sensations without judgment. It emphasizes awareness of the present moment and acceptance of whatever arises. Both practices can help reduce stress and improve overall well-being, but they differ in their specific techniques and focuses.

Buffalo Heads : Media Study, Media Practice, Media Pioneers, 1973–1990
Images and texts document the legendary Department of Media Study at SUNY Buffalo when it set the world standard; a history of the program and examples of work by "Buffalo heads" James Blue, Tony Conrad, Hollis Frampton, Gerald O'Grady, Paul Sharits, Steina, Woody Vasulka, and Peter Weibel. Twentieth-century art history is not just a history of individuals, but of collectives, groups.Universities and colleges have had much to do with this through their support of artistic communities and creative interactions.In the 1920s and 1930s, the Bauhaus was known for this.In the 1940s, Black Mountain College became a leader in community-based visual art practice and education. And in the 1970s and 1980s, the Department of Media Study at the State University of New York at Buffalo was the place to be.It was there, in 1973, well before any other university had a program explicitly devoted to media art, that Gerald O'Grady founded a media study program that is now legendary.Artists-including avant-garde filmmakers Hollis Frampton, Tony Conrad, and Paul Sharits, documentary maker James Blue, video artists Woody Vasulka and Steina, and Viennese action artist Peter Weibel-investigated, taught, and made media art in all forms, and founded the first Digital Arts Laboratory.These Buffalo faculty members were not just practicing artists, but also theorists who wrote and spoke on issues raised by their work.They set the terms for the development of media art and paved the way for the triumph of video installation art in the 1990s.The images and texts in Buffalo Heads bear witness to the groundbreaking events at the Buffalo Center for Media Study.The book presents not just a tribute to a famous media department finally receiving its due; it is a rich inventory of primary texts (many never before published), works that will improve our understanding of media, amplify our cultural memory, and offer a perspective on contemporary issues.

Media Work : Language Teaching Through Media Literacy
For language learners finding their way in new environments, the deluge of daily media messages—billboards, signs, videos, movies, memes, and advertisements—may be overwhelming.Yet this media provides engaging, accessible opportunities to teach about linguistic features, representations of people, places, and ideas, and social and cultural topics.With an informed, methodical, and purposeful pedagogy, Media Work can help teachers cultivate students’ critical media literacy skills along with language learning. Media Work offers a practical, hands-on approach to illustrate how language, imagery, and media platforms convey meaning.With almost 100 illustrations for use in teaching and many valuable sample lessons, the book brings to life the processes of observing, interrogating, interpreting, reflecting, and responding to a wide variety of media.Drawing upon critical perspectives from applied linguistics, communication, and media studies (e.g., semiotics, critical discourse analysis, media ecology), it develops a conceptual model that can be adapted for a range of ages and contexts.Chamberlin’s approach enables students to investigate the origins, purposes, and implications of messages that surround them in their everyday lives.With sample topics that range from pets and food to identity and discrimination, teachers can give students opportunities to learn more about their own communities and reflect on their reactions to media messages.By addressing the disinformation and propaganda that are prevalent in today’s media, teachers can also help students confront messages about social issues in order to gain knowledge, confidence, and agency.

Formative Media : Psychoanalysis and Digital Media Platforms
Formative Media presents a psychoanalytic and psychosocial inquiry into the significance of the most widely used digital platforms – including Facebook, Google, YouTube, Twitter (X), and Instagram – and the relational styles that users cultivate and habituate in their interplay with these platforms. Steffen Krüger assesses the formative effects of these platforms, considering who we are and how we are becoming who we are in relation to, as well as mediated through, digital platforms.The book considers Facebook in conversation with the Freudian theory of Eros and the Live/Love drive, then homes in on the primitive forms of orality, attachment, dependence, and symbiosis in relation to YouTube.Krüger then expands the discussion of orality with an inquiry into the notions of mastery, control, and domination that Google unfolds and activates in its search function, considers narcissism in the context of Instagram, and examines hate speech and aggression on Twitter.The book focuses on the most salient, most talked about aspects, features, and activities of commercial, corporate social media culture to inquire into the formational pushes and pulls of these activities in their contexts for our subjectivities and sense of self. Showing in detail how digital media platforms have advanced into central “socialisation agencies,” Formative Media will be of great interest to academics and scholars of psychoanalytic, psychocultural, and psychosocial theory, critical digital media studies, and interactional theory.

Can mindfulness meditation also have no benefit?
While mindfulness meditation has been shown to have numerous benefits for mental and physical well-being, it is possible that it may not have a positive impact on everyone. Some individuals may not find mindfulness meditation helpful due to personal preferences, lack of consistency in practice, or underlying mental health conditions that require additional support. It is important to recognize that mindfulness meditation is not a one-size-fits-all solution and that different practices or therapies may be more effective for some individuals.

Which anchor point do you use as the meditation object in mindfulness meditation?
In mindfulness meditation, the anchor point used as the meditation object is often the breath. Practitioners focus their attention on the sensations of the breath as it enters and leaves the body, using it as a way to stay present and cultivate awareness. This helps to calm the mind and bring attention back to the present moment when it starts to wander. Other common anchor points include bodily sensations, sounds, or even a specific object or image.
