In this timely book, Gan Bolin and Per St乕lberg examine the fraught intersection of state politics, corporate business, and civil activism to understand the dynamics and importance of meaning management in Ukraine. Drawing on fieldwork inside the country, the authors discuss the forms, agents, and platforms within the complex political and communicative situation and how each articulated and acted upon perceptions of the propaganda threat. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBolin and St乕lberg focus their analysis on the period between 2013 and 2022, when political tensions, commercial dynamics, and new communication technologies bred novel forms of information management. As they show, entities from governments and governmental administration to commercial actors, entrepreneurs, and activists formed new alliances in order to claim a stake in information policy. Bolin and St乕lberg also explore how the various agents engaged in information management and strove to manage meaning in communication practice; the communicative tools they took advantage of; and the subsequent consequences for narrative constructions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Goran Bolin, Per Stahlberg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 026254556X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780262545563\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e MIT Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/02\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.50d","brand":"Goran Bolin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44080629121279,"sku":"9780262545563","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ee83a37c-73ab-4dd5-bdd5-73397e4cb255.jpg?v=1685487888","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/managing-meaning-in-ukraine-goran-bolin-9780262545563","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
