Relic Texts, James Watts
Relic Texts, James Watts
James Watts
Religious traditions typically ritualize their scriptures in three dimensions. Other kinds of texts may be ritualized in one or two dimensions (e.g. the performative dimension of the scripts of plays or sheet music, the semantic dimension of national law codes), but the regular ritualization of a text in all three dimensions usually distinguishes it as a scripture or sacred text. There are, however, some texts or, more accurately, some specific copies of texts, that tend to be ritualized only in the iconic dimension, and scriptures feature prominently among them. I term such texts “relic books.” Relic books are writings that …
Plan De Tesis: La Representación De La Niñez Y Adolescencia En Los Medios Escritos, Andres Sefla
Plan De Tesis: La Representación De La Niñez Y Adolescencia En Los Medios Escritos, Andres Sefla
ANDRES SEFLA
Los medios de comunicación tradicionalmente se han constituido como mediadores de la sociedad, interponiéndose, a manera de filtro, entre la sociedad y los hechos políticos, económicos, culturales y sociales que interesadamente son susceptibles de ser informados. Por ello, se dice que los medios son reproductores de la sociedad, puesto que a través de las narrativas producen sentidos sobre el mundo, es decir, éstos generan imágenes o cosmovisiones sobre el ámbito de referencia al cual se lancen para transmitir o publicar en sus emisiones o páginas informativas. En este sentido, la información es un hecho comunicativo inherente a la cultura mediática …
Designing An Information-Experience Using Creativity Science & Tools, Stephanie Belhomme
Designing An Information-Experience Using Creativity Science & Tools, Stephanie Belhomme
Stephanie Belhomme
An “information-experience” encapsulated by a technological/digital audio-visual tool presents data and potentially meaningful information to prompt actionable knowledge concerning: “unspoken creative process elements;” their profound impacts on both how well our “physiology of creativity” functions but also; how well foundational creative thinking and behavioral prerequisites (energy, motivation, imagination, and ownership) are leveraged.
The product: 1) introduces the user to one component of the CPS (Creative Problem Solving) Facilitation Process - Exploring the Challenge; 2) features a content specific component which prompts exploration of the many correlations between societal, organizational / community, human physiological / behavioral data, and the direct relationships …
¡Mujer, Todavía Queda Mucho Por Luchar!, Andres Sefla
¡Mujer, Todavía Queda Mucho Por Luchar!, Andres Sefla
ANDRES SEFLA
Artículo de opinión que habla sobre la tarea social que tenemos todas las personas para reafirmar el rol activo de la mujer, y que no solamente se quede en la llana celebración de un día, como lo fue el "Día internacional de la Mujer". Se trata de provocar una re-significación de los discursos y las prácticas a fin de conseguir una igualdad de condiciones y de derechos entre los sujetos.
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 …
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 …

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 …

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.

Deleuze And Psychoanalysis, Eugene W. Holland
