Plug-in pro identitu: posthumanistická teorie informačního soukromí / Identity plug-ins: Towards post-human theory of informational privacy

Tremčinský, Martin January 2017 (has links)
The text is concerned with informational privacy in infosphere. Infosphere according to Luciano Floridi presents a new type of techno-scientific ecology in which western societies organize themselves and operate. Privacy is conceptualized as a labor of division in the infosphere, where every (quasi)subject is mobilizing various actors in order to protect her outer boundaries and resist objectification. The labor of division in infosphere is then compared with similar types of labor in different ecologies and societies (i.e. Amazonia and Mongolia) in sake of identification of crucial agents carrying out this labor of division based on negotiations of categories such as human/non-human or self/non-self. The text distinguishes three types of actors of division according to three interconnected intruders; traders, overseers and criminals. The argument then is that through mobilization of various dividing actors depending on the type of intruder, different (quasi)subjects emerge, thus subjectivity in the infosphere is a political project co- constructed by non/human dividing actors. The last chapter than proposes general ethical directions which might be helpful in the future, when considering the problems of lack of privacy.

nÃo hà / As formas de atuaÃÃo de jovens moradores de uma localidade conhecida como Lagamar serÃo analisadas nesse trabalho tendo em vista os entendimentos sobre o âtrabalho socialâ e os argumentos que fundamentam esse tipo de atuaÃÃo. Tendo como ponto de partida os integrantes de trÃs organizaÃÃes locais, foram levados em conta os aprendizados vivenciados e os projetos aos quais os jovens interlocutores aderiram durante suas trajetÃrias. Os objetivos das organizaÃÃes estudadas colocam em questÃo a superaÃÃo de diferentes problemÃticas sociais. Os significados em torno dos conceitos de juventude assim como os entendimentos sobre a polÃtica se apresentam neste trabalho como elementos chave para a anÃlise da atuaÃÃo âno socialâ. A partir de uma perspectiva etnogrÃfica, foram feitas sistemÃticas visitas em campo nas quais conversas informais, entrevistas, participaÃÃo em atividades promovidas pelas organizaÃÃes e a convivÃncia com os jovens resultaram no material que originou a anÃlise proposta. No envolvimento dos jovens pesquisados com projetos voltados para uma coletividade sÃo acionadas memÃrias, projetos, construÃÃes de sentido e disputas que nos possibilitam interessante anÃlise da polÃtica vivida no cotidiano. / The types of action of young residents from a place known as Lagamar will be analyzed in this paper in order to understand the "social work" and arguments that support this kind of activity. Taking as starting point the members of three local organizations that were taken into consideration the lessons learned and experienced the projects to which the young actors joined during their careers. The objectives of the organizations studied take in consideration the overcoming of different social issues. The meanings around the youth concept as well as understandings of the politics are presented in this work as key elements for the analysis of performance "inside the society." From an ethnographic perspective, systematic visits were made in the field in which informal conversations, interviews, participation in activities sponsored by organizations and young people living with resulted in the material that led the proposed analysis. Related to the Involvement of young people surveyed, in a community-oriented projects, there are triggered memories, projects, constructions of meaning and disputes that enable us to have an interesting analysis of politics in everyday living.

Rumours and riots : local responses to mass drug administration for the treatment of neglected tropical diseases among school-aged children in Morogoro region, Tanzania

Hastings, Julie Dawn January 2013 (has links)
In August 2008, a biomedical intervention providing free drugs to school aged children to treat two endemic diseases –schistosomiasis haematobium and soil-transmitted helminths - in Morogoro region, Tanzania, was suspended after violent riots erupted. Parents and guardians rushed to schools to prevent their children taking the drugs when they heard reports of children dying in Morogoro town after receiving treatment. When pupils heard these reports, many of those who had swallowed the pills began to complain of dizziness and fainted. In Morogoro town hundreds of pupils were rushed to the Regional Hospital by their parents and other onlookers. News of these apparent fatalities spread throughout the region, including to Doma village where I was conducting fieldwork. Here, protesting villagers accused me of bringing the medicine into the village with which to “poison” the children and it was necessary for me to leave the village immediately under the protection of the Tanzanian police. This thesis, based on eleven months fieldwork between 2007 and 2010 in Doma village and parts of Morogoro town, asks why was this biomedical intervention so vehemently rejected? By analysing local understandings and responses to the mass distribution of drugs in relation to the specific historical, social, political, and economic context in which it occurred, it shows that there was a considerable disjuncture between biomedical understandings of these diseases, including the epidemiological rationale for the provision of preventive chemotherapy, and local perspectives. Such a disjuncture, fuelled by the reports of fatalities and the pupil’s fainting episodes brought about considerable conjecture both locally and nationally, that the drugs had been faulty, counterfeit, or hitherto untested on humans. Among many of the poorer inhabitants of Morogoro town, there was suspicion that this had been a covert sterilization campaign. From an official perspective, such conjecture was dismissed as mere rumour, proliferated by “ignorant” people. However, from an anthropological perspective, these ‘rumours’ reveal profound local anxieties including a pervasive fear that poor Africans are being targeted for covert eugenics projects by governments in the industrialized world. The thesis also shows that many of the assumptions embedded in global policies seeking to control neglected tropical diseases are mistaken. Indeed, it is suggested that it is unlikely that schistosomiasis haematobium and soil-transmitted helminths will be controlled so long as policy makers persist with the idea that one policy, designed by staff working for the World Health Organisation – with minor modifications added in Dar es Salaam - can be rolled out uniformly, irrespective of the political, social and economic context in which the programme occurs.
