It tries to understand if the introduction of a digital payments technology can change basic concepts of community and society when combined with social currencies, or if is the technology which needs to adapt to these concepts. Using two opposite cases to represent the notions of gemeinschaft and gesellschaft in Tönnies’ theory, the hypothesis is that the digitalization of social currencies needs to be aligned with basic concepts of community, solidarity and belonging - among others – according to the frame of each case. Results indicate few evidences to support definite conclusions, with the research speculating that (1) due to characteristics of digital money, even in the case of a successful implementation in gemeinschaft types of communities, this will only occur through the creation of an innovative model of digital payments capable to take into account the strong social capital of these communities; (2) this study shows that the currently existing technologies tend to a gain of scale that can present some incompatibility with small communities where the solidarity sense is greater than the individual; (3) force the adoption of digital social money in small communities can lead to individualization and contractual forms of intrapersonal relationships; (4) in the case of top-down implementations of a digital social currency, this model is more conducive to liberal experiences focused on individuals than to bottom-up communitarians experiences focused on the development of the model by the community itself. Finally, as a theoretical contribution, the research intends to show the potential of using Goffman’s frames theory in conjunction with Tönnies’ gemeinschaft (community) / gesellschaft (society) constructs as a framework to understand the role of the adoption of digital social currencies in local experiences. / Este trabalho parte de duas experiências de implantação de moedas sociais digitais pelo poder público para responder se a introdução de uma tecnologia de pagamentos digital, em conjunto com moedas sociais, pode modificar conceitos básicos de comunidade e sociedade ou se é a tecnologia que precisa se adaptar a estes conceitos. Com os casos representando polos opostos na teoria de Tönnies em termos de comunidade/sociedade, têm-se como hipótese que a introdução da tecnologia em moedas sociais precisa estar em linha com conceitos básicos de comunidade, solidariedade, pertencimento, entre outros, de acordo com o frame de cada experiência. Como resultado, há poucas evidências que possam ser tidas neste momento como definitivas. Resta especular que o uso da tecnologia de pagamentos digitais como forma de ganho de escala do modelo de economia solidária em sociedades do tipo gemeinschaft encontra falta de elementos facilitadores que incentivem sua implementação e uso, sendo que, novamente, indaga-se que as tecnologias disponíveis de moedas sociais digitais parecem ser pouco congruentes com o próprio conceito de comunidade que faz parte do cerne da economia solidária e de sociedades locais do tipo gemeinschaft, podendo haver maior proximidade com sociedades do tipo gesellschaft. Em adição a isto, especula-se que (1) mesmo havendo êxito na implantação de moedas sociais digitais em comunidades do tipo gemeinschaft, que isto somente se confirmará mediante a criação de um modelo inovador de tecnologia de pagamentos que leve em conta o capital social dessas localidades; (2) as tecnologias hoje existentes para confecção de uma moeda social digital tendem a um ganho de escala que pode mostrar alguma incompatibilidade com pequenas comunidades onde o senso solidário é maior que o individual; (3) forçar a adoção de moedas sociais digitais em pequenas comunidades do tipo gemeinschaft pode eventualmente levar a um maior grau de individualização e à contratualização das relações interpessoais, dado que hoje muitas das relações nestas comunidades contêm alto grau de pessoalidade e informalidade; (4) havendo uma implementação de moedas sociais digitais de cima para baixo, este modelo tende a ser mais propício para experiências liberais focadas nos indivíduos do que para experiências comunitárias focadas no desenvolvimento do modelo pela própria comunidade. Como contribuição teórica, o estudo tenta mostrar o potencial do uso da teoria de Tönnies com o conceito de frames de Goffman.

Diese Einführung endet mit der Wiedergabe des wissenschaftlichen Programms, das sich für die beiden Verhandlungstage der beiden bibliothekarischen Arbeitsgemeinschaften in der Gesellschaft für Klassifikation (http://www.gfkl.de/) ergeben hat. Die traditionsreiche Gesellschaft für Klassifikation tagte im März 2009 bereits zum zweiten Mal in der Technischen Universität Dresden. Mit von der Partie sind alle Jahre wieder zwei bibliothekarische Sektionen: Die Arbeitsgruppe Bibliotheken (AG BIB) und die Arbeitsgruppe Dezimalklassifikationen (AG DK). In Dresden fand sich außerhalb der Universität in der neuen Bibliothek der Hochschule für Technik und Wirtschaft eine maßgeschneiderte Unterkunft. An Teilnehmern fanden sich wie gewohnt 30 Kolleginnen und Kollegen ein, darunter viele Praktiker der Sacherschließung und immer auch wieder „Neue“, die das Veranstaltungsprogramm im Bibliotheksdienst oder im Netz gefunden hatten. In Dresden wurde eine Serie von Sach-Erschließungsthemen fortgesetzt, die vordergründig immer eines im Fokus hat: Neues präsentieren. Der Weg geht zu Bib 2.0 und weiter zu Bib 3.0.

The subject of this study is the period of independent banking in Cornwall, from the formation of the Miners’ Bank in Truro in 1771 to the absorption of Dingley’s Launceston Bank by the National Provincial in 1922. Undertaken within the perspectives of the `New’ Cornish Studies, it aims to provide an assessment of the objectives, strategies, and operational decision-making of banking institutions in Cornwall. A comprehensive analytical narrative of their development forms the core of the study, building on the existing literature and augmented from a range of fragmentary primary and secondary sources, much of it from family archival papers. The nature of this material, and the general lack of quantitative financial data relating to individual institutions, has made a qualitative sociological approach the most appropriate. With the careers of individual bankers predominant, the narrative is also strongly biographical in content and emphasis. An analytical technique based on thick description has been used to enlarge upon the possibilities contained in the often meagre evidence. Both the historical narrative and the subsequent theoretical analysis are conducted from a standpoint situated within a Cornish bank; established in Geertzian fashion from the author’s own long commercial experience in a traditionally-minded business. This experience is aligned with that of contemporaneous writers on nineteenth-century banking practice. In similar manner, a theoretical standpoint within the contemporaneous sociological thought of Tönnies and Weber has been adopted, as being the most appropriate to the consideration of the forms of organization under investigation. From this standpoint, the analysis is projected forwards into the growing corporatism and branch expansion of the amalgamation era. This is undertaken through a game-theoretic evolutionary assessment of decision processes; and a consideration of the roles of path creation and path dependency in institutional development.
