Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of digital information and communication technologies would be the traces of a social acceptability of the exploitation of all data, in the context of negotiations of uses. This is the reason why the users present themselves actors and contributors of the hyperconnectivity. We would thus witness a new form of dissemination, inviting user experience and social innovations. It is thus the victory of subordination by negotiated renunciation; A new form of serving, no longer that of the 1980s, with the counters and other services, which have become uncontrolled services - excepted when the users are overcome by restrictive ergonomics, revealing too much the subordination device - which joins the prescription apparently without an injunction. The lure is at its height when users and broadcasters come together to produce the services and goods, composing the business model, until the very existence of the companies, in particular the pure players. Crowdsourcing becomes legitimate: consumers create the content, deliver the data, the basis of the service sold (in a painless way because free access most of the time, indirect financing), the providers make available and administer the service, networks , Interfaces (representing considerable costs), also reputation to attract the attention of other consumers or contributors. In these conditions, the environmental stakes are considerable, so we propose another way of considering them, not as they are dealt with - material and pollution - but according to the prism of the relational practices analyzed in this volume.

Download or read book Analyzing Websites written by Luc Massou and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2023-12-27 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From a cluster of interconnected HTML pages to online service platforms, websites are constantly changing in form and function. These transformations have led, on the one hand, to human and social sciences renewing or inventing analytical methodologies; and on the other hand, to a reconsideration of the practices of non-specialists and digital professionals. The Web factory is equally included on the agenda of communication training, according to an alternative approach that is complementary to the one that has been implemented for computer scientists. From these two perspectives and drawing upon several case studies, Analyzing Websites presents epistemological and methodological contributions from researchers in Information and Communication Sciences exploring websites as sociotechnical, semi-discursive and communicational devices. This study covers website design as well as their integration into the digital strategies of organizations in the public, associative and private sectors.

Book Conflits des interpr  tations dans la soci  t   de l information     thique et politique de l environnement  Trait   des sciences et techniques de l information

Download or read book Conflits des interpr tations dans la soci t de l information thique et politique de l environnement Trait des sciences et techniques de l information written by CHARDEL Pierre-Antoine and published by Lavoisier. This book was released on 2012-06-01 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La montée des préoccupations environnementales coïncide avec la facilité d'accès à des éléments de connaissance qui sont censés favoriser une perception plus aiguë des problématiques écologiques. Or, cela ne suffit pas à générer des comportements plus responsables envers la nature et les générations à venir. Il est nécessaire de reconsidérer la question environnementale à l'heure de nouvelles médiations informationnelles pour pouvoir composer un monde commun avec une pluralité de régimes d'attention. Les analyses transdisciplinaires qui composent cet ouvrage abordent ensemble les conflits interprétatifs relatifs aux problèmes environnementaux et les environnements médiatiques, dans toute leur hétérogénéité et leur nouveauté. L'analyse de l'exposition des subjectivités individuelles et collectives aux flux informationnels permet ici de mieux comprendre ce que serait une gouvernance réflexive. Conflits des interprétations dans la société de l'information permet de répondre adéquatement à une éthique et une politique de l'environnement.

Book Les nouvelles sociabilit  s du Net en M  diterran  e

Download or read book Les nouvelles sociabilit s du Net en M diterran e written by NAJAR Sihem (sous la direction de) and published by KARTHALA Editions. This book was released on 2012-09-11 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La toile numérique devient aujourd’hui un nouvel espace de sociabilité. De plus en plus enracinée dans les pratiques et les mentalités, la communication virtuelle instaurée par l’ère de l’Internet, qui est la nôtre, est génératrice de nouvelles configurations identitaires à l’oeuvre tant dans le cyber espace que dans le monde réel. Qu’il s’agisse de blogs personnels ou collectifs, de sites communautaires, de pages Facebook ou encore de jeux sociaux, le cyber espace est producteur d’une nouvelle logique du vivre ensemble. En dépit de la fracture numérique tant débattue (entre le Nord et le Sud de la Méditerranée, entre le milieu urbain et le milieu rural, entre les sexes...), il n’est plus à démontrer que cet espace alternatif, à la fois privé et public, s’impose désormais à la recherche comme le lieu problématique où se déploient les ressources d’innombrables activités sociales aussi diverses que le travail, les loisirs, le militantisme, la formation, le commerce, la publicité... Cet ouvrage s’interroge sur les différentes formes de liens sociaux tissés sur le Web. Les contributions s’articulent autour de trois axes thématiques : les « modulations identitaires », les liens communautaires et les transformations des valeurs à l’ère des TIC ; les usages et les appropriations des TIC, les nouveaux modes de sociabilité et les nouvelles formes d’altérité ; enfin, les transformations des identités professionnelles et des usages artistiques à l’heure des TIC. Sihem Najar est sociologue HDR, maître de conférences à l’Université tunisienne, chercheure détachée à l’Institut de Recherche sur le Maghreb Contemporain à Tunis. Ses travaux portent sur les négociations identitaires dans un environnement social en pleine mutation (à partir des pratiques alimentaires, des rapports de genre, des interactions quotidiennes et de la communication virtuelle). Elle coordonne actuellement un programme de recherche à l’IRMC sur « La communication virtuelle par l’Internet et les transformations des liens sociaux et des identités en Méditerranée ».

Book Information Practices and Knowledge in Health

Download or read book Information Practices and Knowledge in Health written by Celine Paganelli and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2022-02-24 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the field of health, information practices and the organization of knowledge constitute a major challenge today. The practices of the medical profession, or of patients, are evolving under the influence of digital technology. At the same time, the way in which medical knowledge is organized, represented and mediated is also evolving. Information Practices and Knowledge in Health addresses the different aspects of the field of specialized medical and health information; it focuses on the informational practices of professionals in the sector, of patients and, more broadly, of citizens with regards to their health. This book also considers the systems that are used for organizing knowledge in this field.

Book Recherches ouvertes sur le num  rique

Download or read book Recherches ouvertes sur le num rique written by PAPY Fabrice and published by Lavoisier. This book was released on 2013-06-01 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En quelques années, les organisations publiques et privées ont imposé à leurs salariés une grande conversion numérique au nom de la performance économique et de l’optimisation des ressources et des moyens. Ce diktat technologique a été massivement plébiscité par les individus eux-mêmes qui ont volontairement intégré ce processus de numérisation à leurs activités personnelles, socialisantes et ludiques. Malgré les études menées ces dernières années en sciences humaines et sociales, confirmant la persistance de fossés numériques, l’émergence de situations de non-usages volontaires et le risque d’avènement d’une société du contrôle, la transformation numérique sociétale apparaît réellement irréversible. Ce nouvel ordre numérique engendre de nouvelles recompositions en matière de communication et de gouvernance au sein des organisations, des changements radicaux dans les relations sociales, des logiques de flux, d’instantanéité, d’immédiateté et d’interopérabilité, etc., et s’avère d’une grande richesse pour la Recherche en Sciences Humaines qui découvre dans cet univers numérique, de nouveaux objets d’étude que cet ouvrage invite à découvrir.

Download or read book Power written by Olivier Dupont and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2019-04-09 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A polymorphous concept, power has imposed itself since ancient times. Whether it characterizes the phenomena of domination, exclusion or voluntary submission, it illuminates social relations and, since the 20th Century, interpersonal relations. This book offers, first of all, a daring panorama through its intertwining of different theoretical propositions relating to power, across time and across disciplines. It then presents the work of researchers in information and communication sciences who draw from these proposals the materials allowing them to develop their own analyses. These analyses revisit discursive power with respect to contemporary formations of communication and information. They investigate digital technologies by problematizing the phenomena of influence, control and access to knowledge. Finally, they reflect on the media in the light of inherent powers of social mediation, advertising and journalism.

Book Learning from Memory

  • Author : Bianca Maria Pirani
  • Publisher : Cambridge Scholars Publishing

  • ISBN : 144383114X
  • Pages : 350 pages

Download or read book Learning from Memory written by Bianca Maria Pirani and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2011-05-25 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This challenging book, with excellent contributions from international social scientists, focuses on the link between body and memory that specifically refers to the use of digital technologies. Neuroscientists know very well that human beings automatically and unconsciously organize their experience in their bodies into spatial units whose confines are established by changes in location, temporality and the interactive elements that determine it. Our memories might be less reliable than those of the average computer, but they are just as capacious, much more flexible, and even more user-friendly. The aim of the present book is to outline, by the body, what we know of the sociology of memory. The authors and editors believe that an analysis at the sociological level will prove valuable in throwing light on accounts of human behavior at the interpersonal and social level, and will play an important role in our capacity to understand the neurobiological factors that underpin the various types of memory. This book is an ideal resource for advanced and postgraduate students in social sciences, as well as practitioners in the field of Information and Communication technologies. Scholarly and accessible in tone, Learning from Memory: Body, Memory and Technology in a Globalizing World will be read and enjoyed by members of the general public and the professional audience alike.

From this vantage point he explicates the theoretical and practical consequences of Friedrich Kittler's insights into the social and psychological effects of the processes by which metaphor in one medium is made real by another.

Book The Dispositif

Download or read book The Dispositif written by Valerie Larroche and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2019-04-30 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Book Intergenerational solidarity in libraries   La solidarit   interg  n  rationnelle dans les biblioth  ques

Download or read book Intergenerational solidarity in libraries La solidarit interg n rationnelle dans les biblioth ques written by Ivanka Stricevic and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2012-08-31 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rapid and intensive changes in the information landscape cause changes in social relationships and, consequently, in relations between generations. Within their social role libraries should work actively to reduce age segregation and isolation, and build cohesive society through intergenerational services and programmes. The authors speak about the intergenerational dialogue in libraries - theories, research and practice - and about reading as a link between generations, thus offering to libraries strategies for establishing social cohesion.

Book Linking with Nature in the Digital Age

Download or read book Linking with Nature in the Digital Age written by Émilie Kohlmann and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2024-07-03 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of digital technology in our societies is growing to meet the ever-increasing challenges of data collection, raising awareness, education and understanding nature. Artificial intelligence, for example, appears to be the answer to collecting massive amounts of data on biodiversity at a global scale and facilitating citizen participation in such data collection. Linking with Nature in the Digital Age explores the reconfiguration of our relationship with nature within this digital framework. This book examines this mediated linking from three angles. Firstly, it shows how digital technology can foster the development of links to nature. Then, it describes in greater detail the materiality of these links and how they have evolved with the developments in information technology. Finally, it questions the belief in the digital as a facilitator and opens up new perspectives on our relationship with nature and the living world
