Documentarity
A historical-conceptual account of the different genres, technologies, modes of inscription, and innate powers of expression by which something becomes evident. In this book, Ronald Day offers a historical-conceptual account of how something becomes evident. Crossing philosophical ontology with documentary ontology, Day investigates the different genres, technologies, modes of inscription, and innate powers of expression by which something comes into presence and makes itself evident. He calls this philosophy of evidence documentarity, and it is through this theoretical lens that he examines documentary evidence (and documentation) within the tradition of Western philosophy, largely understo...
Doc-Humanity
However you view the present time, it is a new century, a new world, and also a new humanity - in fact, humanity is not something that was ever defined once and for all, but remains an open project. For several decades we have been witnessing a revolution. However, unlike the political and ideological revolutions that took place around the First World War, this is a technological and much more radical one that does not depend on people's beliefs, but rather on the tireless labour of machines. The rise of automation has brought about a revelation of something that had hitherto remained hidden in the workshops of homo faber. That is, there are very few functions, apart from consumption, where ...
The Cross-Border Connection
International migration presents the human face of globalization, with consequences that make headlines throughout the world. The Cross-Border Connection addresses a paradox at the core of this phenomenon: emigrants departing one society become immigrants in another, tying those two societies together in a variety of ways. In nontechnical language, Roger Waldinger explains how interconnections between place of origin and destination are built and maintained and why they eventually fall apart. “When are immigrants ‘us’? When are they ‘them’? Waldinger implores readers to reframe the debate from a before-after dichotomy to a new transnational approach, revealing migrants to be here, ...
Technologies de l'information et de la communication : approches croisées
La place et le rôle des technologies de l'information et de la communication au sein de l'économie et de la société sont devenues des objets centraux d'analyse pour les Sciences humaines et sociales. D'une part, ces technologies accompagnent et sont porteuses de changements, d'autre part, autour d'elles s'organisent des phénomènes d'apprentissage, de coordination, de réorganisation, d'innovation, d'usages... En raison de l'importance des enjeux scientifiques, technologiques et sociaux, il importe de mener une réflexion sur les manières dont les Sciences humaines et sociales peuvent structurer leurs efforts. Le Centre national de la recherche scientifique (CNRS) a pris acte de cette situation en créant, en octobre 2000, le Département " STIC ", et au sein de celui-ci, le GDR " Technologies de l'information et de la communication et société ". Dans cette livraison, Sciences de la Société a laissé la parole à quelques animateurs et participants des journées doctorales organisées à Paris en octobre 2002 par le GDR, en privilégiant le croisement des regards disciplinaires, théoriques et thématiques.
The Trace Factory
The collection and treatment of traces which reveal who we are and what we do naturally piques our interest when it pertains to others, and anxiety when it concerns ourselves. Do we truly know what a trace is? And if knowledge is power, how vulnerable are we in the public sphere? The demonstrability of a trace hides the complexity of the process that allows it to be produced, interpreted and used. This book proposes a reasoned approach to the analysis of the trace as an object and as a sign. By following such an approach, the reader will understand how the media participates in the creation and deployment of traces, and the issues raised by what can be traced on social media. The Trace Factory offers a historical perspective, returning to the founding theories of collecting and producing traces linked to knowledge and power in society. Observing technology and information through the prism of these theories, a large number of devices and their uses are evaluated. This book offers itself as a tool of thought and work for researchers, professionals and social actors of all kinds who are confronted with the existence, treatment and interpretation of the traces of society and culture.
The Dispositif
The notion of the dispositif (dispositive) is particularly relevant for understanding phenomena where one can observe the reproducibility of distributed technical activities, operational or discursive, between human and non-human actors. This book reviews the concept of the dispositive through various disciplinary perspectives, analyzing in turn its technical, organizational and discursive dimensions. The relations of power and visibility enrich these discussions. Regarding information and communication sciences, three main uses of this concept are presented, on the one hand to illustrate the heuristic scope of issues integrating the dispositive and, on the other hand, to demonstrate its unifying aspect in this disciplinary field. The first use concerns the complexity of media content production; the second relates to activity traces using the concept of the “secondary information dispositive”; finally, the third involves the use of the dispositive in contexts of digital participation.
Romanian in Migration Contexts
As a result of migration, more than 25% of Romanian L1 speakers live outside of Romania and Moldova - mostly in other European countries, but also in America and Australia. In the meantime, many second-generation speakers have become part of this group. The situation has resulted in various different constellations of language contact, both within the group of Romance languages and amongst typologically different and unrelated languages. Despite the fact that these contact scenarios present a wide range of research perspectives, there have been hardly any studies on Romanian as a language of migrants up until now. The volume Romanian in the Context of Migration brings together contributions ...
Mondialisation et technologies de la communication en Afrique
En Afrique, les NTIC s'intègrent progressivement dans les différents aspects de la vie sociale et constituent autant d'outils et de ressources porteurs d'enjeux, de modalités d'organisation, de modèles culturels et de savoirs produits au Nord. Cependant les processus d'insertion et des formes d'usage de ces technologies, ne sauraient s'analyser selon une logique simple de transfert d'un modèle imposé, par rapport auquel les Africains seraient de simples récepteurs plus consommateurs qu'acteurs.Les quinze auteurs regroupés dans cet ouvrage s'interrogent sur la compatibilité de ces technologies avec les modes de fonctionnement des sociétés et des économies locales. Annie Chéneau-L...
H2PTM’19
Les humanités numériques constituent un champ mouvant incluant recherche, enseignement, études et pratiques. L’objectif est ici de comprendre les implications et les opportunités du numérique comme un média, un objet d’étude, voire un véritable écosystème. Les sciences humaines et sociales (SHS) semblent aujourd’hui bouleversées, tant au plan épistémologique que méthodologique, par les outils numériques qui permettent d’analyser des données à la fois hétérogènes et volumineuses. Quant aux sciences de l’information et de la communication (SIC), elles analysent, grâce à leur réflexion critique sur la genèse du numérique, l’impact de ce dernier sur le processus de production des données et de leur interprétation. Les questions récurrentes posées par les SHS demeurent centrales pour saisir la complexité infocommunicationnelle et dépasser une approche strictement computationnelle. Cet ouvrage regroupe l’ensemble des communications de la conférence internationale H2PTM’19 : de l’hypertexte aux humanités numériques.
