¿El Cambio Está De Moda? Un Panorama Político Sobre América Latina., Augusto Reina
¿El Cambio Está De Moda? Un Panorama Político Sobre América Latina., Augusto Reina
Augusto Reina
El cambio político es la tendencia europea pero no así en América Latina, lo que está comenzando a marcar todo un cambio de época. Parece ser que esta tempo-rada la moda europea no llega a América Latina. La ráfaga de movilizaciones socia-les y sacudones económicos, agilizaron los tiempos políticos del viejo continente. Los electores, frente al estancamiento económico y la percepción de falta de rumbo, han optado por el cambio en varios países que han realizado elecciones. Ni giro a la izquierda ni giro a la derecha, la apuesto al cambio ha sido la principal consigna.

Museums 2.0: A Study Into Expertise And Culture Within The Museum Blogosphere, Payal Arora, Jessica Verboom
Museums 2.0: A Study Into Expertise And Culture Within The Museum Blogosphere, Payal Arora, Jessica Verboom
Payal Arora
While studies on popular culture have a more vast understanding of the impact of the participatory culture on experts and expertise, there is a dearth of literature on the impact of Web 2.0 on museums, which are established authorities within the cultural field. We aim to answer the following research question here: who are the experts and what is the nature of their expertise in the museum blogosphere? In addition, we look at the spatial culture on these museum blogs and its role in shaping expertise. We address this question by conducting a content analysis on a sample of the …
Layering On Learning Helps It Stick, Jayne M. Comstock
Layering On Learning Helps It Stick, Jayne M. Comstock
Jayne Marie Comstock
To me, Mendillo’s more provocative point was to call to question whether high school students are ready to actually pay attention to the broad elements of liberal education and to accept the critical thinking challenges that a strong core curriculum provides.
Webs Of Faith As A Source Of Reasonable Disagreement, Gregory Brazeal
Webs Of Faith As A Source Of Reasonable Disagreement, Gregory Brazeal
Gregory Brazeal
Contemporary political theorists and philosophers of epistemology and religion have often drawn attention to the problem of reasonable disagreement. The idea that deliberators may reasonably persist in a disagreement even under ideal deliberative conditions and even over the long term poses a challenge to the common assumption that rationality should lead to consensus. This essay proposes a previously unrecognized source of reasonable disagreement, based on the notion that an individual's beliefs are rationally related to one another in a fabric of sentences or web of beliefs. The essay argues that an individual's beliefs may not form a single, seamless web, …
The Truths Of Chenglish: Logical Imperfection, Natural Language, And Philosophical Disagreement, Gregory Brazeal
The Truths Of Chenglish: Logical Imperfection, Natural Language, And Philosophical Disagreement, Gregory Brazeal
Gregory Brazeal
Why is it that philosophy seems unable to obtain the kinds of agreement regularly achieved by mathematics and the natural sciences? The experimental philosophy movement emphasizes conflicting intuitions as a potential source of philosophical disagreement. This essay draws attention to another, complementary source: the logical imperfection of natural languages. Unlike logic as it is formalized in symbolic notation, the rules governing the correct use of terms in a natural language can be indeterminate, underdetermined, and inconsistent. Though most philosophers recognize the logical imperfection of natural languages in the abstract, everyday philosophical discussion is often conducted as though the argumentative moves …
Toll Booths On The Information Superhighway? Policy Metaphors In The Case Of Net Neutrality, Todd K. Hartman
Toll Booths On The Information Superhighway? Policy Metaphors In The Case Of Net Neutrality, Todd K. Hartman
Todd K. Hartman
Scholars have argued for centuries that metaphors are persuasive in politics, yet scant experimental research exists to validate these assertions. Two experiments about the issue of federally regulating the Internet were conducted to test whether metaphors confer a unique persuasive advantage relative to conventional messages. The results of these studies confirm that an apt metaphor can be a powerful tool of persuasion. Moreover, the evidence suggests that metaphor-induced persuasion works particularly well for politically unsophisticated citizens by increasing assessments of message quality. Ultimately, this research concerns how individuals make sense of politics and how policymakers can use what we know …

The Future Of Personalization At News Websites: Lessons From A Longitudinal Study, Neil Thurman, Steve Schifferes
The Future Of Personalization At News Websites: Lessons From A Longitudinal Study, Neil Thurman, Steve Schifferes
Neil Thurman
This paper tracks the recent history of personalization at national news websites in the United Kingdom and United States, allowing an analysis to be made of the reasons for and implications of the adoption of this form of adaptive interactivity. Using three content surveys conducted over three and a half years, the study records—at an unprecedented level of detail—the range of personalization features offered by contemporary news websites, and demonstrates how news organizations increasingly rely on software algorithms to predict readers’ content preferences. The results also detail how news organizations’ deployment of personalization on mobile devices, and in conjunction with …
Arm Chair Activism: Serious Games Usage By Ingos For Educational Change, Payal Arora, Sorina Itu
Arm Chair Activism: Serious Games Usage By Ingos For Educational Change, Payal Arora, Sorina Itu
Payal Arora
The battle between educators and entertainers continue when it comes to gaming. While this is so, the edutainment battleground has expanded to include actors outside formal schooling agencies, namely International Non-Governmental Organizations (INGOs). These actors employ digital games with the aim to educate and activate towards specific social causes. These serious games are viewed to have tremendous potential for behavioral change through their interactive and persuasive aspects. This paper examines serious games deployed by certain prominent INGOs and analyzes the educative aspects of such new media platforms. What is revealed at the design, audience, and content level compel us to …
The Folksong Jukebox: Singing Along For Social Change In Rural India, Payal Arora
The Folksong Jukebox: Singing Along For Social Change In Rural India, Payal Arora
Payal Arora
In designing digital literacy content for marginalized demographics, we need to garner local resources to structure engaging and meaningful media experiences. This paper examines the socio-cognitive implications of a novel edutainment product in rural India on learning, stemming from an e-development initiative funded by Hewlett-Packard. This product encapsulates a multiplicity of media forms: text, audio and visual, with social-awareness folk themes endemic to the locality. It uses the karaoke ‘same language subtitling’ feature that won the World Bank Development Marketplace Award in 2002 due to its simple yet innovative application that has proven to have an impact on reading skills. …

BüRgersicht Auf Sicherheit Und Privatheit, Michael Friedewald, Johann Cas
BüRgersicht Auf Sicherheit Und Privatheit, Michael Friedewald, Johann Cas
Michael Friedewald
Moderne Sicherheitstechniken sollen die Bürger besser vor Terrorismus und organisierter Kriminali- tät schützen. Mittlerweile wird aber angezweifelt, ob ein realer oder gefühlter Sicherheitsgewinn nur durch Einschnitte in die Privatsphäre des Einzelnen zu erreichen ist. Die EU-Forschungsprojekte PRISMS und SurPRISE untersuchen, wie die Ein- stellung europäischer Bürger zu Sicherheit und Privatheit zusammenhängt und wie sich dies für die Gestaltung von akzeptabler grundrechtskonformer Sicherheitstechnik nutzen lässt.
The Conservative Canon And Its Uses, Michael J. Lee
The Conservative Canon And Its Uses, Michael J. Lee
Michael J Lee
In this essay, I aim to locate the scriptural force of American conservatism's secular canon. My basic claim is that the canon created and managed the potential for symbolic fusion and fracture among conservatives. The canon provided the tools to weather the rocky marriage between various conservative sects: traditionalists, libertarians, neoconservatives, and others; the canon afforded resources for each faction to establish their bona fides and to protect their version of authentic conservatism from impostors and apostates. I conclude by analyzing the link between the principles of classical conservatism and canonical politics.

Book Review—Clio Wired: The Future Of The Past In The Digital Age, Elizabeth M. Shaffer
Elizabeth M. Shaffer
Clio Wired: The Future of the Past in the Digital Age is a collection of eleven essays that takes its title from history’s muse, Clio, and is authored (some articles are co-authored) by the late American historian Roy Rosenzweig, founding director of the Center for History and New Media at George Mason University in Virginia. The Center uses digital media and technology to advance history education and research and investigates their impact on history education, research, dissemination, and preservation. The essays examine and explore the impact that digital media, in particular the Internet, have had on history—from research and teaching …

Towards An Impure, Dynamic Concept Of Identity?, Rafael Rodríguez Prieto
Towards An Impure, Dynamic Concept Of Identity?, Rafael Rodríguez Prieto
Rafael Rodríguez Prieto
We live in homogenizing times, in an increasingly globalized world; at the same time, we are witnessing an era of ferocious particularities and rabid individualism. Both trends—rooted in essentialisms of identity—deny entire populations the opportunity to emancipate themselves and participate in self-government. Universalizing (or imposing a specific hierarchy of values and ideas on others) is as dangerous as refusing to recognize the role other values and ideas play in shaping one’s own value set. This paper will take a closer look at the notion of identity through the looking glass of globalization.
