    The Most Magnificent Madrigal: Zefiro torna (Monteverdi)
    https://rm144.wordpress.com/2009/07/02/the-most-magnificent-madrigal-zefiro-torna-monteverdi/

    Poema in versi di Ottavio Rinuccini:

    Zefiro torna e di soavi accenti
    l'aer fa grato e'il pié discioglie a l'onde
    e, mormoranda tra le verdi fronde,
    fa danzar al bel suon su'l prato i fiori.

    Inghirlandato il crin Fillide e Clori
    note temprando lor care e gioconde;
    e da monti e da valli ime e profond
    raddoppian l'armonia gli antri canori.
    Sorge più vaga in ciel l'aurora, e'l sole,
    sparge più luci d'or; più puro argento
    fregia di Teti il bel ceruleo manto.

    Sol io, per selve abbandonate e sole,
    l'ardor di due begli occhi e'l mio tormento,
    come vuol mia ventura, hor piango hor canto.

    Amida-do dayori


    Letter from the Mountain (Takashi Koizumi 2002)
    Amida-do dayori (original title)
    2h 7min | Drama | 5 October 2002 (Japan)

    As the film begins, Takao (Akira Terao) and Michiko (Kanako Higuchi) have already pulled up their Tokyo roots and moved to a village that is Takao's ancestral home. They visit a thatched cottage that serves as a memorial shrine (amidado) for the village dead and chat with the attendant, the spry 96-year-old Oume (Tanie Kitabayashi). Together they admire the view -- from an inspiring distance. Oume, it turns out, is a kind of sage, whose thoughts and observations are a popular feature in a column in a local newsletter. Her amanuensis is a mute, sweetly smiling young woman named Sayuri (Manami Konishi), who is as devoted to Oume as Oume is to the souls of her beloved dead.

    Personal Portable Pedestrian: Lessons from Japanese Mobile Phone Use
    Mizuko Ito, University of Southern California Keio University
    http://www.itofisher.com/mito/archives/ito.ppp.pdf
      Paper presented at Mobile Communication and Social Change, the 2004 International Conference on Mobile Communication in Seoul, Korea, October 18-19, 2004


    Personal, Portable, Pedestrian - Mobile Phones in Japanese Life
    Edited by Mizuko Ito, Misa Matsuda and Daisuke Okabe
    MIT Press, July 2005 (An open access file)
    https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/personal-portable-pedestrian
      The Japanese term for mobile phone, keitai (roughly translated as "something you carry with you"), evokes not technical capability or freedom of movement but intimacy and portability, defining a personal accessory that allows constant social connection. Japan's enthusiastic engagement with mobile technology has become -- along with anime, manga, and sushi -- part of its trendsetting popular culture. Personal, Portable, Pedestrian, the first book-length English-language treatment of mobile communication use in Japan, covers the transformation of keitai from business tool to personal device for communication and play.The essays in this groundbreaking collection document the emergence, incorporation, and domestication of mobile communications in a wide range of social practices and institutions. The book first considers the social, cultural, and historical context of keitai development, including its beginnings in youth pager use in the early 1990s. It then discusses the virtually seamless integration of keitai use into everyday life, contrasting it to the more escapist character of Internet use on the PC. Other essays suggest that the use of mobile communication reinforces ties between close friends and family, producing "tele-cocooning" by tight-knit social groups. The book also discusses mobile phone manners and examines keitai use by copier technicians, multitasking housewives, and school children. Personal, Portable, Pedestrian describes a mobile universe in which networked relations are a pervasive and persistent fixture of everyday life.

    Hanging Out, Messing Around, and Geeking Out - Kids Living and Learning with New Media The MIT Press
    https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/hanging-out-messing-around-and-geeking-out
      Conventional wisdom about young people’s use of digital technology often equates generational identity with technology identity: today’s teens seem constantly plugged in to video games, social networking sites, and text messaging. Yet there is little actual research that investigates the intricate dynamics of youths’ social and recreational use of digital media. Hanging Out, Messing Around, and Geeking Out fills this gap, reporting on an ambitious three-year ethnographic investigation into how young people are living and learning with new media in varied settings—at home, in after-school programs, and in online spaces. 
      Integrating twenty-three case studies—which include Harry Potter podcasting, video-game playing, music sharing, and online romantic breakups—in a unique collaborative authorship style, Hanging Out, Messing Around, and Geeking Out is distinctive for its combination of in-depth description of specific group dynamics with conceptual analysis.

      The relationship between children and computers occupies a special place in the imagination of those of us inhabiting the United States in the early twenty-first century.

    Participatory Culture in a Networked Era: A Conversation on Youth, Learning, Commerce, and Politics
    Henry Jenkins, Mizuko Ito, danah boyd, Wiley, November 2015, 160 pages
    http://www.wiley.com/WileyCDA/WileyTitle/productCd-0745660703.html
      In the last two decades, both the conception and the practice of participatory culture have been transformed by the new affordances enabled by digital, networked, and mobile technologies. This exciting new book explores that transformation by bringing together three leading figures in conversation. Jenkins, Ito and boyd examine the ways in which our personal and professional lives are shaped by experiences interacting with and around emerging media. 
      Stressing the social and cultural contexts of participation, the authors describe the process of diversification and mainstreaming that has transformed participatory culture. They advocate a move beyond individualized personal expression and argue for an ethos of “doing it together” in addition to “doing it yourself.” 
      Participatory Culture in a Networked Era will interest students and scholars of digital media and their impact on society and will engage readers in a broader dialogue and conversation about their own participatory practices in this digital age.
