This is the first edition of an ambitious enterprise cov- ering at its completion all relevant notions relating to INFORMATION in any scientific context. As such, this glossariumBITri is part of the broader project Ramon Llull´s tree of science BITrum, which is committed to the mutual under- standing of all disciplines devoted to information across fields of knowledge and practice. This glossary pretends to make explicit the conflicts and agreements among use and meaning of terms related to information phenomena. Information is approached from opposing para- digms and also from competing and cooperating disciplines. Both in science and in ordinary life, conceptual, ethical, technical and societal problems regard information in an essential way. This glossary does not endorse or presuppose any paradigm or any theory, but rather locates into a public, explicit and commonly understandable space some of the crucial assumptions dividing informational concepts, theories, problems and metaphors. Moreover, we purport to embrace all distinct paradigms with a critical and comprehensive attitude. The glossary is the result of an original methodology, which places any entrance under the re- sponsibility of its editor.

  • Refashioning the Sociopolitical in Spanish Modernist Literature (1902-1914)
    Refashioning the Sociopolitical in Spanish Modernist Literature (1902-1914) By Ricardo Lopez A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Romance Languages and Literatures and the Designated Emphasis in Critical Theory in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Dru Dougherty, Chair Professor Ivonne del Valle Professor Robert Kaufman Fall 2015 Abstract Refashioning the Sociopolitical in Spanish Modernist Literature (1902-1914) by Ricardo Lopez Doctor of Philosophy in Romance Languages and Literatures with a Designated Emphasis in Critical Theory University of California, Berkeley Professor Dru Dougherty, Chair In this dissertation I argue that the modernist breakthroughs achieved by José Martínez Ruiz’s La voluntad (1902), Ramón del Valle-Inclán’s Sonata de otoño (1902), and Miguel de Unamuno’s Niebla (1914) emerged as a response to the shortsightedness of the revolutionary politics that had taken root in Restoration Spain. I examine how these writers take the historical materials of their sociopolitical world—its tropes and uses of language—and reconstellate them as artworks in which the familiar becomes estranged and reveals truths that have been obscured by the ideological myopia of Spain’s radicalized intellectuals. Accordingly, I demonstrate that the tropes, language, and images that constitute La voluntad, Niebla, and Sonata de otoño have within them a historical sediment that turns these seemingly apolitical works into an “afterimage” of Spain’s sociopolitical reality. Thus I show how sociopolitical critiques materialize out of the dialectic between historical materials and their artistic handling. Although La voluntad, Sonata de otoño, and Niebla seem to eschew political themes, I contend that they are the product of their authors’ keen understanding of the politics of their moment.

    H-France Review Volume 21 (2021) Page 1 H-France Review Vol. 21 (April 2021), No. 68 Evelyne Cohen, Anaïs Fléchet, Pascale Gœtschel, Laurent Martin, and Pascal Ory, eds., Cultural History in France: Local Debates, Global Perspectives. New York: Routledge, 2020. xi +332 pp. Annex and contributors. $160.00 U.S. (cl). ISBN 9780367271879. Review by Jennifer M. Jones, Rutgers University. The essays in Cultural History in France: Local Debates, Global Perspectives provide thought- provoking snapshots of the key questions and debates with which practitioners of cultural history in France have wrestled over the past two decades. Among other virtues, the collection reminds us that historians in France probed a different set of questions about cultural history and faced different stakes than their American counterparts because of each country’s distinctive intellectual and institutional culture. English-speaking historians will recognize some familiar territory such as the tension between social history and cultural history, and will also encounter some distinctly French debates produced within the context of French intellectual and scholarly traditions. Whether returning to these debates over the meaning and practice of cultural history or encountering them the first time, many historians in France, the UK, Europe and around the globe will find this collection intellectually, methodologically, and perhaps even politically stimulating. The book was first published in French in 2011 with essays drawn from keynote addresses and thematic roundtables

  • Ethics and Economics
    Journal of Markets & Morality Volume 19, Number 2 (Fall 2016): 483–493 Copyright © 2016 ETHICS AND ECONOMICS Virtue and Economy: Essays on Morality and Markets Andrius Bielskis and Kelvin Knight (Editors) London, United Kingdom: Routledge, 2015 (264 pages) Virtue ethics is currently a widespread ethical theory. Deontological ethics focuses on duties, consequentialism on consequences, and virtue ethics on virtues and personal character. Virtue ethics is a rational ethics, while the prevailing approach among modern philosophers, starting with Hume, turned human ends into an irrational matter, addressing ethical problems according to consequentialist, sensist, emotivist, or voluntarist criteria. In her renowned article, “Modern Moral Philosophy” (1958), Elizabeth Anscombe criti- cized this approach and paved the way for the rehabilitation of virtue ethics. A plethora of authors have ventured into this field since then, with the work by Peter Geach, Philippa Foot, and Alasdair MacIntyre marking significant milestones in virtue ethics. It is a reason for celebrating that two books on the economy and virtues have recently been published. One is reviewed here; the other, Economics and the Virtues, has been edited by Jennifer A. Baker and Mark D. White (Oxford University Press, 2016). Some of the chapters of the book edited by Bielskis and Knight were previously pre- sented at a conference in Vilnius of the International Society for MacIntyrean Enquiry, titled “Virtue and Economic Crises.” The book aims to apply Aristotelian practical philosophy to economics. In the introductory chapter, Bielskis and Knight maintain that ethical reasoning about ends is essential to the economy. More specifically, the question is whether Aristotle’s teleological ethics is compatible with capitalism.

    Protesta, liga y partido: tres maneras de ser intelectual Santos Juliá UNED En ocasiones, parece como si el hecho de que la voz «intelectual» sólo se haya introducido como sustantivo a finales del siglo XIX implicara que fue entonces cuando los intelectuales nacieron como grupo o cate­ goría social, con conciencia de sí y seguros de su propósito.

Con eso, su presencia se puede remontar a los orígenes del capitalismo, con la autonomía de la sociedad civil respecto del Estado, o por ligarlos a acontecimientos político-culturales, con la Reforma o la Ilustración 2.

La figura del héroe es una figura universal, que aparece en todas las épocas y culturas. Según el psicoanalista Joseph Campbell, se trata de una suerte de arquetipo inherente a la psique humana293. Sin embargo, el concepto de héroe se encuentra relacionado históricamente con las variaciones en el espíritu del tiempo. ABSTRACT: The historical method, as Wilhelm Dilthey pointed out, "consists always in forming concepts that express the being of the age." The figure of the hero is a universal figure, who appears in all times and cultures. According to the psychoanalyst Joseph Campbell, it is a kind of archetype inherent to the human psyche. However, the concept of hero is historically related to variations in the spirit of time. PALABRAS CLAVE: Militar, dictador, katechon, Guerra Civil, líder.

    29th EGOS Colloquium, July 4-6 2013 HEC Montréal, Université de Montréal Sub-theme 54: Rethinking the social, technical and material foundations of organizations Technologies - media - hybrids / Toronto - Berlin - Paris Lisa Conrad [email protected] Bauhaus University Weimar, Department of Media Albrecht-Dürer-Straße 2, 99423 Weimar, Germany Abstract The observation of organizations being “variously entangled with the technologies and the material world in ways other than trivial” (cf. call for papers of subtheme 54) asks for reviewing and discussing conceptualizations of relevant terms such as technology, tool, medium and materiality. Here, media theory offers a set of sophisticated and time- tested elaborations. Actor-network theory also provides pertinent concepts drawing on terms such as non-human actor and hybrid. This paper gives an introduction to and a brief overview of concepts from media theory and actor-network-theory that seem suitable for researching the status of technology, media and materialities in organizations. It concentrates on three streams of research: early Canadian media theory, so called new German media theory, and actor-network-theory. Following their presentation (overview and exemplary study), the paper briefly maps intersections and differences between these streams of research as well as their respective outlook on the subject of organizations. 1 Introduction The observation of organizations being “variously entangled with the technologies and the material world in ways other than trivial” (cf. call for papers of subtheme 54) asks for reviewing and discussing conceptualizations of relevant terms such as technology, tool, medium and materiality.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles The Anthropological Turn in French Thought: The 1970s to the Present A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in History by Jacob Joseph Collins 2013 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION The Anthropological Turn in French Thought: The 1970s to the Present by Jacob Joseph Collins Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Los Angeles, 2013 Professor Lynn Hunt, Chair This dissertation focuses on post-1968 French thought and looks at how French thinkers responded to a new set of challenges that emerged in the 1970s and 80s: the economy had begun to falter, the revolts of 68 failed to produce an alternative to capitalism, and the “great ideologies” that had once sustained cultural life in France – Catholicism, communism, and Gaullism – no longer mobilized people in the same way. I argue that philosophers and social theorists met these challenges by reconceiving the language of politics, using concepts and methodologies associated with anthropology to do so. They wanted to rediscover the roots of political sentiments and social bonds as a way of understanding how they had gone so astray in the twentieth century. Much of their writing was focused on the legacy of totalitarianism, the role of religion in contemporary life – which they all took to be of first importance – the fragmentation of political identities with the advent of globalization, and the persistent social inequalities that attend modern democracy. The thinkers I examine cover the entire ideological spectrum: on the far left, Régis Debray, a revolutionary in the 1960s turned militant republican in iii the 70s; on the center-left Emmanuel Todd, demographer, political liberal, and sharp-eyed critic of neo-liberalism; on the center-right, Marcel Gauchet, former left-libertarian turned theorist of democracy; and on the far right, Alain de Benoist, architect of the “New Right” movement, cultural essentialist, and implacable critic of egalitarianism.
