Boierii minţii
Cum se organizeaza intelectualii in jurul puterii? Care sunt relatiile sociale si ideologiile produse de grupurile de intelectuali care urmaresc si cucereasc puterea? Teza principala a lui Sorin Matei este ca intelectualii romani se structureaza in "grupuri de prestigiu" care duc mai departe domnia lumii traditionale, aristocratice si instaureaza o stare sociala pe care le numeste "paramoderne. Una din concluziile fulminante ale cartii este ca aceasta combinatie "paramoderna" zadarniceste remodernizarea Romaniei dupa 1989. Ciprian Siulea, Scheletul din biblioteca, Adevarul Literar si Artistic The Mind Boyars analyzes the manner in which Romanian intellectuals are organized, as well as the social relationships and the ideologies produced by the intellectual groups interested in gaining access to power.
Transparency in Social Media
The volume presents, in a synergistic manner, significant theoretical and practical contributions in the area of social media reputation and authorship measurement, visualization, and modeling. The book justifies and proposes contributions to a future agenda for understanding the requirements for making social media authorship more transparent. Building on work presented in a previous volume of this series, Roles, Trust, and Reputation in Social Media Knowledge Markets, this book discusses new tools, applications, services, and algorithms that are needed for authoring content in a real-time publishing world. These insights may help people who interact and create content through social media ...
Roles, Trust, and Reputation in Social Media Knowledge Markets
Knowledge and expertise, especially of the kind that can shape public opinion, have been traditionally the domain of individuals holding degrees awarded by higher learning institutions or occupying formal positions in notable organizations. Expertise is validated by reputations established in an institutionalized marketplace of ideas with a limited number of “available seats” and a stringent process of selection and retention of names, ideas, topics and facts of interest. However, the social media revolution, which has enabled over two billion Internet users not only to consume, but also to produce information and knowledge, has created a secondary and very active informal marketplace of...
Digital and Social Media Regulation
Digital and social media companies such as Apple, Google, and Facebook grip the globe with market, civic, and political strength akin to large, sovereign states. Yet, these corporations are private entities. How should states and communities protect the individual rights of their citizens – or their national and local interests – while keeping pace with globalized digital companies? This scholarly compendium examines regulatory solutions which encourage content diversity and protect fundamental rights. The volume compares European and US regulatory approaches, including closer focus on topics such as privacy, copyright, and freedom of expression. Further, we propose pedagogical models fo...
Ethical Reasoning in Big Data
This book springs from a multidisciplinary, multi-organizational, and multi-sector conversation about the privacy and ethical implications of research in human affairs using big data. The need to cultivate and enlist the public’s trust in the abilities of particular scientists and scientific institutions constitutes one of this book’s major themes. The advent of the Internet, the mass digitization of research information, and social media brought about, among many other things, the ability to harvest – sometimes implicitly – a wealth of human genomic, biological, behavioral, economic, political, and social data for the purposes of scientific research as well as commerce, government a...
Structural Differentiation in Social Media
divThis book explores community dynamics within social media. Using Wikipedia as an example, the volume explores communities that rely upon commons-based peer production. Fundamental theoretical principles spanning such domains as organizational configurations, leadership roles, and social evolutionary theory are developed. In the context of Wikipedia, these theories explain how a functional elite of highly productive editors has emerged and why they are responsible for a majority of the content. It explains how the elite shapes the project and how this group tends to become stable and increasingly influential over time. Wikipedia has developed a new and resilient social hierarchy, an adhocr...
Virtual Sociability
To what degree can the human exchanges we observe online be called "sociability"? In other words, do these exchanges amount to any meaningful type of social organization? Are they more than the mere froth of collective emotion discharging its energy with a lot of noise but little consequence against the wave breakers of social media? Do the social interactions that take place in virtual space-all those kind or not-so-kind words sent back and forth-suggest the same level of commitment, dedication, morality, passion, or even depravity that we see in everyday life? Or, more succinctly, is sociability online less "social," less "real" than what we see in everyday life? The present collection of ...

Idolii forului
Volumul reuneste opiniile a cincisprezece tineri eseisti care incearca sa explice de ce pare Romania blocata intr-un model cultural revolut, punand in discutie rolul intelectualilor nostri publici cu formatie enciclopedica in societatea actuala. Autorii pleaca de la ideea ca in Romania, ca si in societatile paramoderne, intelectualul public fara o anume specializare isi face iluzia – si publicul ii acorda uneori credit – ca este capabil sa ofere modele sociale. O privire atenta, din tot atatea unghiuri cati autori sunt, ofera cititorului invitatia la dialog despre rolul si viitorul intelectualitatii romanesti, comportamentul acesteia, valorile pe care trebuie sa le promoveze, contributia la formarea unor noi generatii de tineri. Eseistii pledeaza pentru o clasa de mijloc a spiritului dominata de intelectualii specialisti in diverse domenii de activitate si nu pentru intelectualii elitisti, a caror parada pentru cultura de tip enciclopedic, eclectica, sterila nu ofera solutii. Tonul decent, critica ideilor si a mentalitatilor si nu a persoanelor fac din acest volum de eseuri un model de reflectie asupra modului cum trebuie dezbatute problemele Romaniei actuale.
The Oxford Handbook of Information and Communication Technologies
The production and consumption of Information and Communication Technologies (or ICTs) have become embedded within our societies. The influence and implications of this have an impact at a macro level, in the way our governments, economies, and businesses operate, and in our everyday lives. This handbook is about the many challenges presented by ICTs. It sets out an intellectual agenda that examines the implications of ICTs for individuals, organizations, democracy, and the economy. Explicity interdisciplinary, and combining empirical research with theoretical work, it is organised around four themes covering the knowledge economy; organizational dynamics, strategy, and design; governance and democracy; and culture, community and new media literacies. It provides a comprehensive resource for those working in the social sciences, and in the physical sciences and engineering fields, with leading contemporary research informed principally by the disciplines of anthropology, economics, philosophy, politics, and sociology.
