Many traditional Internet forums have not adapted to the development of the web and their usability standard is low. In order to satisfy this unexplored market segment Zoorum AB is working on a project with the goal to develop a new kind of Internet application for topic oriented discussions. The goal of this master thesis is to design a usable Internet forum, in association with Zoorum AB and Teknikhuset AB. Our challenge was to manage the designprocess, contribute with competence in interaction and usability and functionas a connection between the technology and the users. The result is presented as guidelines for design and visualized in the shape of mock-ups.

L'altermondialisme en Afrique subsaharienne : étude de cas des organisations paysannes au Kenya

St-Louis, Marie-Pier January 2009 (has links) (PDF)
L'avènement du Forum social mondial (FSM) au Kenya en 2007 relevait d'un intérêt particulier pour le Comité international du FSM. L'Afrique, marginalisée économiquement, était encore très peu présente au sein des forums sociaux mondiaux. Ce mémoire a pour but de comprendre la dynamique entourant la participation de membres d'organisations paysannes kenyanes au processus des forums sociaux. De fait, les organisations paysannes sont des acteurs centraux au sein de la société kenyane composée majoritairement d'une population vivant des activités de la terre. C'est dans cette perspective que nous avons tenté de comprendre de quelle façon les organisations paysannes kenyanes se définissent comme actrices dans le FSM 2007. Afin de répondre à ce questionnement, nous avons effectué une enquête de quatre mois au Kenya. Nous inspirant d'une démarche compréhensive ethnologique et de la théorisation ancrée, nous avons réalisé douze entretiens en profondeur et vingt-six entretiens secondaires. Deux aspects ont été mis de l'avant pour explorer notre objet d'étude. Dans un premier temps, nous nous sommes interrogée sur les motivations derrière la participation des répondants par rapport aux valeurs proposées par la Charte des principes du FSM. Dans un deuxième temps, nous avons tenté de comprendre si la participation de représentants d'organisations paysannes au FSM représente réellement une intégration de l'ensemble des organisations concernées et du mouvement paysan. À la lumière des résultats obtenus, nous constatons que certaines organisations, à mission plus localisée, ont réussi à faire participer certains de leurs membres. Elles les ont consultés et informés. Il est clair que le manque de ressources matérielles, humaines et financières a limité cette intégration (visibilité, réseautage). En contrepartie, les organisations pannationales ont souvent l'impression d'avoir atteint davantage leurs objectifs, puisque les moyens dont elles disposaient leur permettaient d'être plus visibles. En revanche, les membres et la population ciblée par la mission de ces organisations pannationales ont été peu impliqués et ignoraient même souvent jusqu'à l'existence du FSM. ______________________________________________________________________________ MOTS-CLÉS DE L’AUTEUR : Organisations paysannes, Forum social mondial, Mouvements sociaux, Afrique, Kenya, Société civile.

Entre o local e o global : a rede do Forum Social Mundial / Between local and global : World Social Forum's network

No. of bitstreams: 1 Almeida_Fernandade_M.pdf: 2533063 bytes, checksum: 3f592139e58206d9bc97868396ea45bc (MD5) Previous issue date: 2008 / Resumo: Observando o Fórum Social Mundial (FSM) como um sujeito político que se utiliza da lógica das redes sociais para se organizar, a presente pesquisa procurou analisar sua rede lançando mão das ferramentas de Análise de Redes Sociais, de modo a melhor perceber os entraves à relação entre o local e o global intrínseco ao FSM, procurando respostas sobre os motivos para que grandes redes globais se fragmentem em redes locais, regionais ou nacionais. A hipótese que norteou essa pesquisa sugeria a existência de uma combinação entre dois elementos que conduziam à fragmentação nas redes globais, e que, permitiriam que a mesma assumisse um caráter local, mas se relacionasse globalmente com as demais. Desta forma as agendas temáticas e as movimentações do FSM via fóruns regionais e temáticos foram problematizadas a partir da relação local/global e permitiram constatar um padrão de relacionamento estruturador das relações na "sociedade civil global". Finalmente, através da operacionalização dos conceitos de "flexibilização" e "tradução" nas agendas das organizações que compõem a rede do FSM percebeu-se um movimento de fragmentação espontânea do Fórum assegurando assim a sua continuidade e não a extinção, como se acreditava inicialmente. Esse movimento foi, portanto, confirmado com a observância de um processo de reprodução e constante adequação de agendas e contextos de modo a envolver a sociedade civil sob bandeiras de trabalho aproximadas entre si, sugerido quase como uma reprodução do mesmo em distintas escalas. / Abstract: By observing the World Social Forum (WSF) as a political entity that uses the social network logic to organize itself, this research sought to analyze its network by employing Social Networks Analysis tools in order to better understand the barriers imposed to the relationship between the local and global aspects intrinsic to the WSF, searching for answers to the reasons for which large global networks are fragmented in local, regional or national ones. The hypothesis that guided this research suggested the existence of a combination of two factors leading to the fragmentation of global networks and that consequently would allow them to assume a local character, yet globally dealing with their counterparts. Bearing that in mind, both the thematic agenda and the movements of the WSF over regional forums were problematized from the perspective of a local/global relationship, enabling the establishment of a pattern that structures the relations in the "global civil society." Finally, a spontaneous fragmentation movement of the Forum was observed through the operation of the "flexibility" and "translation" concepts on the agenda of the organizations that comprise the WSF, thus ensuring its continuity rather than its extinction, opposing previous belief. This movement was thus confirmed through the observation of a reproduction process and a constant adaptation of the agenda and its contexts such that the the civil society is embraced in closely related ideas of action, mostly suggesting a reproduction of the same in different scales. / Mestrado / Cultura e Politica / Mestre em Ciência Política

Desenvolvimento local: fundamentos para uma crítica marxista / Local development: fundamentals for a marxist critique

Almeida, Fernanda Araujo de 18 June 2010 (has links)
Made available in DSpace on 2016-04-29T14:18:02Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 Fernanda Araujo de Almeida.pdf: 2423353 bytes, checksum: d864b2c678ed5fba0022e82b31f5b3b6 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2010-06-18 / Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico / This research seeks to present a set of ideas to foster a critical debate on the Local Development. We start with the understanding that the Local Development is another of the expressions constructed by capitalism as a social-theoretical and ideo-political answer to their crises - exacerbated by the restructuring of production, post-1970s around the world. Thus, the Local Development is to serve the interests of neoliberalism. Put another way, the Local Development becomes functional responses of neoliberalism and meets the needs of the restructuration of capital in its phase globalized. To this end, we built two temporary trends of analysis that express the struggle for meaning in the field of Local Development. The first trend we call Field Hegemonic: Neoconservatism Postmodern can be taken as that built and defended by the UN and subsequently condensed in the concepts of institutions and multilateral agencies through the funding of programs and projects. Used as reference for analysis of this trend DLIS conceptions of methodology, discourse that was dominant in the insertion of Local Development in Brazil by Augusto de Franco. Thus, we intend to confront this trend by focusing the discussion on the theoretical elements that underlie the social rights and state responsibility in facing the Social Issue and their expressions so far stepped up and embodied in the new paradigms expressed in the formulations of the contemporary world grounded in neoliberal and postmodern ideas. The second trend identified by us involves the debate and policy actions present in the midst of the "Social Struggles" in the field of counter-hegemonic opposition to neoliberalism, with significant expression as the World Social Forum. Thus, the field of research included the documentary analysis of research reports produced by NEPEDH, analysis of documents published on the official website of the WSF, magazine articles and books on the subject, besides the report of research conducted by us in Portugal / A presente pesquisa busca apresentar um conjunto de reflexões para subsidiar um debate crítico sobre o Desenvolvimento Local. Partimos da compreensão de que o Desenvolvimento Local é mais uma das expressões construídas pelo capitalismo como resposta teórico-social e ideo-política para suas crises agravadas pela reestruturação produtiva, pós anos 1970 em todo o mundo. Assim, o Desenvolvimento Local vem para atender aos interesses neoliberais. Posto de outra forma, o Desenvolvimento Local se torna funcional às respostas do neoliberalismo e atende as necessidades da reestruturação do capital em sua fase mundializada. Para tal, construímos duas tendências provisórias de análise que expressam a disputa de significados no campo do Desenvolvimento Local. A primeira tendência que denominamos Campo Hegemônico: Neoconservadorismo Pós-moderno pode ser tomada como aquela construída e defendida pela ONU e posteriormente adensada nas concepções das instituições e agências multilaterais através do financiamento de programas e projetos. Utilizamos como referência para análise da presente tendência as concepções da metodologia DLIS, discurso que foi dominante na inserção do Desenvolvimento Local no Brasil através de Augusto de Franco. Dessa forma, pretendemos problematizar a presente tendência, centrando o debate nos elementos teóricos que fundamentam os direitos sociais e a responsabilidade do Estado no enfrentamento da Questão Social e suas expressões tão largamente intensificadas e consubstanciadas nos novos paradigmas expressos nas formulações do mundo contemporâneo alicerçado no ideário neoliberal e pós-moderno. A segunda tendência por nós identificada compreende o debate e as ações políticas presentes no bojo das Lutas Sociais no Campo Contra-hegemônico em oposição ao neoliberalismo, tendo como expressão significativa o Fórum Social Mundial. Dessa maneira, o campo de pesquisa compreendeu a análise documental dos relatórios de pesquisa produzidos pelo NEPEDH, análise dos documentos publicados no site oficial do FSM, artigos de revistas e livros sobre o tema, além do relatório da pesquisa realizada por nós em Portugal
