As redes que se tecem nas escolas públicas de ensino médio de Porto Alegre : o uso das tecnologias digitais e a construção de indicadores de fluência digital a partir de uma abordagem sociotécnicaMeirelles, Mauro January 2005 (has links)
Há diferenças significativas nos níveis de fluência digital entre os alunos da Rede Pública de Ensino de Porto Alegre em função de suas diferentes condições de acesso e utilização de computadores, conectividade e sociabilidade. Utilizamos uma amostra de 430 casos obtidos em 19 escolas da Rede Pública de Ensino com o objetivo de mapear as relações tecidas na rede de interações entre agentes humanos e não-humanos que compõem o entorno das Escolas Estaduais de Ensino Médio. Para reconstituirmos as múltiplas relações que se estabelecem no processo de produção do conhecimento, utilizamos a idéia de rede sociotécnica, principalmente, no que se refere a interesses políticos, econômicos e sociais dos grupos envolvidos, evitando, sobretudo, à luz de tal abordagem, a dimensão meramente instrumental da ciência. Trabalhamos com métodos estatísticos para o estabelecimento de indicadores de acessibilidade, usabilidade, interconectividade, sociabilidade e fluência no uso do suporte informático. O conceito weberiano de tipo ideal serviu de subsídio à construção de parâmetros de análise. Com o uso deste aporte metodológico-conceitual estabelecemos distâncias existentes entre os diferentes pontos dessa rede de interações. Os indicadores permitiram identificar sete níveis distintos de fluência digital entre os alunos, sendo dois relacionados à acessibilidade (Não Fluentes I e II), dois à usabilidade do suporte e da Internet (Não Fluentes III e IV) e três relativos ao nível de domínio que estes possuem com relação à utilização do suporte informático (Fluente no Suporte Informático; Fluente Potencial; Fluente no Uso do Suporte Informático e das Tecnologias da Informação e Comunicação).

The VAE, or the need for ordering : an impossible quest? : an analysis of representation and translation processes in the Validation des Acquis de l'Expérience in a French UniversityPouget, Mireille January 2011 (has links)
This study presents an analysis of the processes of representation and translation involved in the practice of the Validation des Acquis de l’Expérience (VAE), or Recognition of Prior Experiential Learning, in a French University. This analysis is based on a qualitative research using semi-structured interviews with VAE candidates, advisers and academic staff, and recorded interactions between candidates and their advisers, and the validation juries. The research was at first influenced by the life history and educational biographies perspective (Josso 2001; Dominicé 2002; Pineau 2002), which privileged a dialogic approach. This has led to the decision to let the candidates tell their story of ordering struggle, where the resistance, dissidence and controversies circulate within and around the VAE ‘object’. This study is interested in the ordering modes enacted through the VAE and their relational effects with subjectivities. The analysis draws on Callon’s (1986) four moments of translation, as a way to give an initial frame of reference for the research. It presents the actors’ voices in a sequence of accounts, disrupted by the researcher’s running commentaries. It also focusses on the role the portfolio plays in ‘ordering’ the heterogeneous elements of the candidates’ lives, subjecting them to a form of ‘disciplinary writing’ through ‘technologies of the self’, whereby subjectivities are mobilised into specific modes of ordering. It analyses how the VAE becomes a stabilized network (Star 1991), insisting on speaking with a unitary voice, erasing the multiplicity of selves and the messy realities of the candidates’ lives, until the heterogeneous elements of the network escape again. Finally the study seeks to investigate further the recognition of heterogeneity, the possibility of multiplicity of cultures and agencies, multiple identities.

Cooperative Apocalypse : Hostile Geological Forces in N. K. Jemisin’s The Broken Earth TrilogyStenberg, Felicia January 2020 (has links)
In this thesis I explore the place of the human in the Anthropocene, and our relationship to the Earth through an analysis of N. K. Jemisin’s The Broken Earth trilogy. As the trilogy depicts an apocalyptic landscape where the Earth has sentience and humanity is divided into three subspecies, this work of speculative fiction lends itself well to be interrogated and examined as an allegory for our current climate crisis. The analysis is anchored in posthumanism and employs a variety of concepts, such as Bruno Latour’s work on agency and deanimation, Donna Haraway’s Chthulucene, and Amitav Ghosh’s work on speculative fiction among others. I argue that The Broken Earth trilogy illustrates that the Earth is an agentive network that can no longer be ignored and contend that the trilogy complicates both anthropocentrism and individualism by depicting amplified versions of human beings, and in doing so highlights the arbitrary boundaries between both nature and society, and human and nonhuman. Thus, The Broken Earth trilogy can be read as a warning call for a future to be avoided at all costs, while concurrently be used to make sense of the incomprehensibility of our contemporary era.

”Tar tid till det otroliga” : Om att göra Sveriges Arkitekturmuseum, 1960–1966. / ”Takes an amazing time” : Doing the Swedish Museum of Architecture, 1960–1966.Dufva Carlén, Nathan January 2022 (has links)
This thesis investigates events prior to, during and after the founding of the Swedish Museum of Architecture, in November 1962. Through the application of concepts derived from Bruno Latour’s Actor-Network-Theory, traces of the actors involved in the processes are followed, such as the activities of the museum’s first head archivist and superintendent, Birgitta Wallgren. The Museum of Modern Art’s traveling exhibition Visionary Architecture is studied as an example of how, in Latour’s sense, actors transform ”the elements that they are supposed to carry”. The thesis is thus looking for activity, the ”doing” of the museum. The institution’s earliest years is a previously rather unstudied topic. Thus, the thesis aims to contribute to the growing research field that focuses on how architectural history has been written in Sweden.

Réponse à Bruno Latour : interprétation critique du débat politique ayant opposé Walter Lippmann à John DeweyRenaud, Sophie 19 April 2018 (has links)
"Le sociologue Bruno Latour affirme que l'adoption des postulats du pragmatisme américain permettrait aux Français de conceptualiser et de valider leurs catégories politiques d'une manière à surmonter la crise de la représentation politique affectant la démocratie parlementaire française. Il appuie ses propos en présentant le débat politique ayant opposé Walter Lippmann à John Dewey, deux auteurs pragmatiques du début du 20e siècle. De fait, Latour participe à cet engouement français pour la tradition politique américaine ; le pays de « la Démocratie » continue de fasciner. L'objectif de ce mémoire est de comprendre les conséquences politiques et sociales qu'engendre l'adoption d'une conception pragmatique du politique. Latour a-t-il raison de s'enthousiasmer pour ces modèles politiques ? En plus de procéder à une analyse comparative des modèles démocratiques de Lippmann et de Dewey, nous dresserons un portrait sociohistorique de la Progressive Era, époque où la société américaine connut de grandes transformations."

Toward a philosophy of water: Politics of the pollution and damming along the Ganges River.McAnally, Elizabeth Ann 05 1900 (has links)
This thesis sets out to develop a beginning of a philosophy of water by considering philosophical implications of ecological crises currently happening along the waters of the Ganges River. In my first chapter, I give a historical account of a philosophy of water. In my second chapter, I describe various natural and cultural representations of the Ganges, accounting for physical features of the river, Hindu myths and rituals involving the river, and ecological crises characterized by the pollution and damming of the river. In my third and final chapter, I look into the philosophical implications of these crises in terms of the works of the contemporary philosopher Bruno Latour.

Arts de la ruse: pour une expérimentation tactique des sciences humaines à partir de Michel de Certeau / Arts de la ruse: pour une expérimentation tactique des sciences humainesCourtois, Fleur 16 February 2009 (has links)
A travers l'oeuvre de Michel de Certeau, les manières de dire et de faire d'une part, dans le quotidien d'autre part dans les sciences humaines sont travaillées pour rendre compte d'une philosophie de la ruse. Sont mobilisés à cette occasion le constructivisme (Latour, Stengers), le pragmatisme (James), le structuralisme (Lacan, Barthes) et les philosophies de Deleuze et Foucaut. / Doctorat en Philosophie / info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished

AI learn, AI do : En konstvetenskaplig studie om AI-modellers materialbetingade förmågor, aktörskap och deltagande inom konstnärliga processer / AI learn, AI do : An art-historical study about the material-based abilities, agencies, and involvement in artistic processes of AI-modelsPersson, Cornelius January 2023 (has links)
This master’s thesis investigates generative AI-art through the lens of actor network theory. By focusing on the role of images in datasets as a material that effects both AI-models and artworks, the decisively non-human agencies generative AI-models can be said to possess, and the traces and associations that generative AI-models imbue artworks with, this thesis aims to investigate art that has been created with GAN-models as well as contemporary text-to-image diffusion-models, by way of similar premises. Forgoing common discussions and questions regarding the status of AI-art as art that inundate many a reasoning regarding this topic, this thesis instead investigates the use of generative AI to make images and art with an understanding of it as a multifaceted practice that can be observed and experienced in a variety of ways. General topics such as the way images are used to train AI-models, the blurry connections between trained images and generated images, the way AI-models can be used and interacted with by using prompts as well as different kinds of interfaces and AI-Image-generators, are investigated, followed by the analysis of a number of artworks for which generative AI has been used. Throughout this study generative AI-art emerges as a both novel and oftentimes contested artform that is defined by direct and indirect connection to other media, a varied understanding of what it is that the artificial intelligence appears to do, and a use of the AI-artwork as a means to comment the mediums emerging characteristics.

"It matters what stories we tell to tell other stories with" : A Feminist-Phenomenological Re-telling of Donna Haraway's Practices of Collaborative Writing and StorytellingThomackenstein, Silvia January 2023 (has links)
This paper explores through Donna Haraway's storytelling practices feminist approaches to collaborative writing. Employing a phenomenological qualitative research approach, the thesis aims to analyze how Haraway herself exercises feminist writing and facilitates the learning of collaborative storytelling. The first research question: How does Haraway practice storytelling while simultaneously situating herself as well as others, is focused on investigating Symbiosis, Symbiogenesis and the Lively Arts of Staying with the Trouble, a chapter from Haraway's publication Staying with the Trouble: Making Kin in the Chthulucene (2016). Drawing on the qualitative analysis carried out through the process of phenomological re-telling, two case studies are presented. The two publications The Books of the Books, edited by Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev in association with dOCUMENTA (13) in 2012 and Critical Zones – The Science and Politics of Landing on Earth, edited by Peter Weibel and Bruno Latour building on the exhibition Critical Zones: Observatories for Earthly Politics in 2020 are examined in terms of their curatorial and editorial orientations in order to answer the question: How can the position of a curator perform as a multidisciplinary editor without resigning to its own singularity or acting omnisciently? In the proposed practice of a phenomological approach of re-telling, it is referred to Rosi Braidotti's remarks on the nomadic subject, along with feminist modes of (academic) writing, as motivated by scholars such as Mona Livholts and Nina Lykke. The thesis demonstrates that collaborative storytelling and writing directs the emphasis on methods of citation and referencing, just as their various possible layouts. In highlighting these, the paper also reveals the challenges of such writing to produce perceived hegemonic knowledge while not being collaboratively situated.
