       words: 2900
      flesch: 44
     summary: Another untapped direction in games studies that has implications for persona studies, is the focus on embodiment, especially Keogh’s (2018) approach that explores the connections between the hardware and software of both computers and human bodies. Emerging from media studies, sociology, and a particular tradition of textual analysis in cinema and literature studies, games studies has since had a reputation for being the latest kid on the block.

     summary: Second, it is becoming increasingly clear from gained experience in the field as well as from the accumulated knowledge on over-reliance on “data” and “algorithms” that both the use and development of data driven personas are marred with challenges. Thus, a major concern with data driven personas is that the algorithms behind their generation often lack the ability to interpret, decipher, and encode common sense meanings.

     summary: For the greatest poets have aspects which do not come to light at once; and by exercising a direct influence on other poets centuries later, they continue to affect the living language. In other words, he acts as a direct conduit for the divine (presumably through inspiration), and therefore knows truth instantaneously, thus making the Poet’s primary job to convey that fidelity to the world at large.

       words: 7433
      flesch: 49
     summary: A non-human persona reading of Oscar is useful because it provides a framework to distinguish ‘the Oscars’ as a site of persona construction – most notably for its cast of Hollywood elites who participate in the public contest and acceptance of awards – from ‘Oscar’ itself as an agent of persona construction with its own stakes in the game. 7, no. 1 11 THE OSCAR PERSONA: A TEXTUAL ANALYSIS Accepting that an institutional brand can engage in persona construction through the various avenues that humans use and manage, namely strategic multi-mediated messaging aimed at collective audiences, we can analyse ‘Oscar’ through the aesthetic and thematic choices of its ceremony broadcast, its self-promotion via legacy and social media, and its anointed place in Hollywood culture.

     summary: She is also making a much bigger point—that the aspiration for equity in general is always a public concern, not a social one, as social life is built on discrimination. But this demand hits its limit, she argues, at the content of the child’s education, “not the context of association and social life which invariably develops out of his attendance at school” (1959a, p. 55).

     summary: In this article, I argue that both Meghan Markle’s celebrity and royal personas each incorporated her racial identity, but the latter instrumentalised it to construct a space for Markle that reinforced rather than challenged the royal brand (Otnes & Maclaran 2015).

However, whereas other celebrity personas are “highly polished, scheduled and controlled” (Moore, Barbour & Lee 2017, p. 3), Opportunity’s is dispersed much more widely.

     summary: YAHYA HASSAN Yahya Hassan’s first collection of poetry, Yahya Hassan (2013), is based on autobiographical material that includes scenes of domestic violence on the background of Hassan’s parents’ immigration to Denmark via Lebanon as stateless Palestinians. While all three profiles might have been (to echo Lillian Ross) subtitled ‘The Moods of Yahya Hassan’, they respond to Hassan’s rhetorical maneuvers in very different manners.

     summary: The purpose of framing the conference as diversifying persona studies was to expand the scope and reach of our ambition, invite new possibilities, to challenge the conceptualisations of the field, and to challenge ourselves to release a sense of ownership and control over what persona studies could be. Barbour, Lee & Moore 2 THE CONFERENCE Keynote Address It was exciting that the keynote lecture, presented by Professor Amanda du Preez, University of Pretoria, matched our ambitions, dramatically extending the boundaries of persona studies beyond the planetary with her engaging discussion of the astronaut’s persona.

     summary: Utilizing close readings of lifestyle blogs across a spectrum of personas, I argue that these two purposes often come into conflict, creating a precarious dynamic for lifestyle bloggers that they attempt to manage through their use of the diary, which is deployed in two key ways. This article explores how lifestyle blogs use life writing to establish a professional persona and an aura of authenticity that is necessary for maintaining a community of readers.

     summary: If Persona Studies might remind Life Writing scholars to linger a little longer on the life and identity work of a text as a text, Persona Studies scholars might be also be persuaded to linger a little longer on the content. In short, there is much to be gained in Persona Studies from a more careful analysis of the various identities in play and from using Life Writing theory to understand their relationships to each other.

     summary: Caged rodent reference aside, Barbarin’s posts about the ways ableism shapes life for disabled people reach nearly 500,000 followers. By rendering visible the historic caving of the polis/political into the oikos/domestic for disabled people, Barbarin’s digital persona ascended as she called out disabled people’s erasure from the global body politic, one that focalized the boredom, loneliness, and mental and physical challenges of non-disabled people during quarantine.

     summary: Focusing on three well-known tradwife profiles, this article applies the five dimensions of online persona (Moore, Barbour & Lee 2017), to unpack the construction of tradwife persona. This strategic attention paid to the ultra-traditional media platform of the printed word supports her version of tradwife persona and her intended audience.

     summary: Therefore, it is worthwhile to analytically turn away from nationalistic-recursive Twitter and turn towards what we would like to call cosmopolitan Twitter. Thus, is Twitter cosmopolitanism inherently a “cosmopolitanism from below” (Kurasawa 2004; Appadurai 2011)?

      flesch: 40
     summary: Our analysis asks how the limits of privacy are actively imposed and managed under capitalism: who is allowed to have domestic space, where is that domestic space allowed to exist, and crucially what public personas emerge in relation to practices departing from the normative bounds of capitalism’s public/private distinction? Using critical discourse analysis (CDA), we examine the ways in which public personas are mediated by individuals and media institutions at the same time as addressing how personas themselves intervene in this process.

Domestic spaces can also be shared outside of family relationships, feeling eclectic or sterile, while similarly illustrating the hegemonic structure of the dwelling.

     summary: As Raizel Liebler and Keidra Chaney argue in “Here we are now, entertain us: Defining the line between personal and professional context on social media,” social media policies are often more aligned with the interests of an organisation rather than those of the individual. Experienced or novice academics can take advantage of the opportunities new media present to highlight their research and utilise social media platforms in order “to create and maintain a professional persona” (Liebler and Chaney 404).

While individual petroleum geologists crafted and managed individual personas, as well as other collective personas (at conferences, annual meetings, etc.), the routine inclusion of obituaries and death notices in one of the profession’s major scientific and technical journals provided an opportunity for petroleum geologists to write about themselves to themselves.

Duke is thus a paragon of the entrepreneurial work Thompson performs and professionalises, and Duke’s journey and free-enterprising genre-blending offers an ethos for New Journalism that specifically defends Thompson’s controversial work in Hell’s Angels as a professional and profitable opportunity to tell a story.

     summary: Such a creative play of surfaces is dangerous in a profession where work personas are expected to function as though they are expressions of an identity also performed in non-work contexts, and disciplined if they do not. It is clear that we depend on work personas to, in a sense, “carry on” in the manner in which they are presented to us: we expect, hope, and need politicians (and workers in general) to remain true to the public identity they have cultivated so that we know how to interact with them.

     summary: We argue that the grammar of trolling speech acts cannot be understood without consideration of its capacity to provoke affects. The grammar of trolling utterances allows affect to be linguistically ‘captured’ and transmitted or transmuted, with varied illocutionary and sometimes perlocutionary force.

The inherently performative qualities of film, television, theatre, or stand-up comedy lend themselves to creating and inhabiting such personas.

His translation from professional actor to Governor of California (2003 - 2011) and back again, with durations of clear overlap, involves a highly sought after competency in negotiating the presentational modal shift in the production and management of public identity that can be understood in terms of domestication.

     summary: HOW ANTI- FANS DECONSTRUCT LIFESTYLE BLOGGERS’ AUTHENTICITY WORK SAR AH MCRAE ABSTRACT This paper examines the nature of authenticity labour in personal lifestyle blogging through a case study of travel bloggers. By observing trends in how travel bloggers perform authenticity and how anti-fans deconstruct these performances, it becomes apparent that critical publics identify inauthenticity in moments where the constructedness or performedness of authenticity is most apparent, indicating that while micro-celebrities rely on authenticity labour for their popularity, this very labour can detract from a persona’s perceived authenticity when it becomes obvious to publics.

     summary: On pedagogical grounds, the ideal of parrhesiastic truth, inviting the individual to problematise issues of moral truth in relation to power, self, and society, seems a promising element of the critical pedagogy promoted by Paulo Freire and others (Freire 2001, 2013). a more or less impermanent result of a process in which the production, destruction, and reproduction of truth are necessary moments of dialectic tensions expressing alternative and possibly competing forms of truths, power/knowledge, and possibilities of social change.

     summary: Persuasive aspects of autobiographical games While not applicable to the ‘genre’ as a whole, many autobiographical games stage the creator’s persona as a prototype of a particular trait they embody. This makes it all the more important to start by choosing definitions that fit the goal of this argument, conceptualising the complex relationship between in-game characters and authorial ‘voices’ in autobiographical games and the use of the games as ‘props’ in performing their creators’ public personas.

The unifying theme of digital self, anonymous or not, is less a certain way to be, but the dualism itself.

     summary: Rather than noting that embodied experiences influenced scientists’ practices and identities amidst (or despite) ideals of objectivity, I want to draw attention to the ways in which personal, embodied experiences were celebrated in nineteenth-century science, and presented as primordial for the practice of competent research. Embodied experiences were so central to their practices and identity-formation, that they regularly reported on them in their written work, thus underlining their amalgamation of strategies in building an identity as a ‘scientist’ (as defined by Daston and Sibum 2003, p.4).

Arguing that some artists chose to incorporate elements of a scientific persona with their artistic self, thus adopting a new role as public intellectuals, I shall demonstrate my arguments with the example of the Finnish painter and writer Helena Westermarck (1857–1938) and her brother, the anthropologist and philosopher Edward Westermarck (1862–1939), who in 1907 gained international repute as the first professor of Sociology at the London School of Economics.

      flesch: 46
     summary: In addition, while visiting relatives in Dansville, New York, young Baker would encounter the staff and patients of Jackson Sanitarium, a health hospital that was known for its unusual policies regarding diet (e.g., applesauce, hard biscuits, and water) and dress (e.g., Bloomers and short hair for women) (Baker 1939, p. 15). Presently, scientific persona has been theorized as a conglomerate of dispositions, practices, and characteristics that are associated with scholar-practitioners of the human and natural sciences; it therefore offers a novel lens for the individual and collective fashioning of women health professionals like Baker whose work traversed disciplines and institutions.

     summary: However, design personas have recently been subject to some critique, ranging from their inevitable collapsing of highly-varied individuals into broad categories that easily slips into stereotyping, to their status as boundary objects that can actually serve to distance designers from users and their politically-loaded function within design teams (e.g., Massanari 2010; Turner and Turner 2011). Both projects were committed from the outset to using design personas (and scenarios) to inform the design of platform functionalities and interface features, anticipating basing them on needs and goals.

This is followed by an examination of how the involvement of traditional media brands such as This American Life have altered the podcasting landscape, pushing professionally produced shows such as Serial into the cultural mainstream.

At the start of the two-minute spoken introduction to his Broadway show, as streamed on Netflix from 16 December 2018, Bruce Springsteen provides a litany of “elements that will come in handy” for anyone who finds themselves “face-to-face with eighty thousand screaming rock ’n’ roll fans … waiting for you to pull something out of your hat … something that, before the faithful were gathered here today, was just a song-fuelled rumour” (Springsteen on Broadway 2018, henceforth SOB).

Likewise, the lens of persona studies concentrates analysts of theatre on interrogations that are fundamental to the discipline and to advancements in the notoriously difficult articulation of acting and the embodied performance of self and other.

     summary: In order to survive, an institution like Bristol Old Vic has had simultaneously to present itself as historic and forward-looking, as theatre building and performance event - a public presentation of self that requires constant redefinitions. I suggest that theatre institutions offer a particularly rich investigative ground for the application of persona study theory in their need to mobilise individual and organisational personas for the purposes of reinventing a ‘good story’ and brand over time.

     summary: Gadsby’s show, Nanette, captured the zeitgeist for personal stories and reflected the fact that the relationship between offstage self, personality, and stage persona is increasingly the focus of many comedians and of scholarship in comedy and humour studies. To this end, practising comedians have made notable analyses of their own constructions of stage personas in their articles and books, their performances and also in their doctoral theses on stand-up (Fox 2018a).

     summary: The symbiotic relationship between comedy and mental health is an open secret that, until recently, few have considered more than common fact. In this essay, I address the under-researched issue of comedy and mental health through the prism of comic persona.

     summary: This article examines the elements and processes involved in the visual construction of person brands, and their personas as key components of those brands, in pursuit of the research question: What pictorial design strategies make person brands succeed? Celebrities and stars are usually viewed as person brands, as are “[...] any well-known persona who is the subject to marketing communication efforts” (Thomson 2006, p. 104).

     summary: The principal lines of enquiry consider how political personas are negotiated during election campaigns, with examination particularly of the intercommunications between professional and private dimensions of self. In this discourse, voters are viewed as consumers to whom political personas and their associated products – including the party and its policies – can be sold.

     summary: The narrative both underscores Bowie as a genius and also reframes his late works as ones of intention, reinforcing the first-person authenticity and late style narrative that this work is “profoundly personal and redemptive” (McMullan 2019, p. 62). David Bowie is a performer of personas.

        date: 2020-12-11
       words: 6992
      flesch: 53
     summary: Highly influential perspectives such as the Nordic school of service marketing (Gronroos 1994, 2004, 2011; Gummesson 1987, 2008), relationship marketing (Duncan & Moriarty, 1998) and the Service-Dominant Logic (Vargo and Lusch 2004, 2017) have argued that marketing needs to change its fundamental nature and instead dedicate itself to building long-term relationships with consumers based upon the careful, socially-aware provisioning of co-created value. The current American Marketing Association definition of marketing provides us with a clear understanding of what lies at the core of the profession: “Marketing is the activity, set of institutions, and processes for creating, communicating, delivering, and exchanging offerings that have value for customers, clients, partners, and society at large” (AMA 2019).

     summary: Bowman, Schultheiss, and Schumann (2012, p.2), using a similar definition involving a “melding of mind” as Lewis, Weber and Bowman (2008), found that character attachment can be useful to understand the motivations of video game players. Burgess and Jones (2020) found that the emotional attachments that video game players formed with NPCs motivated game manipulation behaviour, for example customising their PC’s armour to match the NPC’s armour they were attached to and attempting to control the composition of cut- scenes to better reflect and understand the persona of their PC as developed by the player.

     summary: By drawing research into the evolutionary history of YouTube, the article examines how popular YouTube personas became linked to horror video games and the survival subgenre in particular. In the years immediately preceding the success of the YouTube platform, horror video games witnessed a progressive turn towards action, especially in Western productions (Pruett 2012).

     summary: In what follows, those instances where students used the theoretical concepts explicitly taught in the course in their own writing, are italicized.4 Students articulated their experiences of the embodied, emotional aspects of learning that playing games in class made them aware of. Tessa explains how sitting behind the screen was her preferred mode of learning when she arrived in the course and how she remembers discussing with a friend after the first week that she did not understand how playing games in a theatre could be learning.

     summary: Player positioning need not be tied to a character or an avatar, then—a particularly useful concept for autobiographical games, where the author's presence pervades the game object as a whole. By forgoing casting the player as an author character, autobiographical game authors may create spaces to share vulnerable lived experiences, without the player controlling the author’s agency or claiming those personal experiences as their own.

     summary: Along with the journal’s opening position piece (Marshall & Barbour 2015), Marshall and colleagues have authored articles situating persona studies in other publications (notably, Marshall 2014, and Marshall, Moore & Barbour 2015). In many respects, persona studies has arisen as an alternative way of conceptualising the impact of digital culture on celebrity, as well as a way of resolving some of the contradictions inherent in celebrity culture.

     summary: Transposed onto the ritual process, trickster narratives almost entirely consist of the liminal phase, of disorderly metamorphosis, a tumultuous learning process, which, at the next stage (after the departure of the trickster) is incorporated into everyday existence. The consensus seems to have been that principal features of trickster narratives (such as toilet humour, openly displayed sexuality or disorderly behaviour) are far too rough for a female protagonist to display.
