Thesis (MA (English))--University of Stellenbosch, 2010. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The end of the second millennium saw a sudden return to corporeality, especially within feminist scholarship, where embodiment and issues surrounding the body were, for the first time, made explicit. This study examines the corporeal body in relation to technology and the impact that newly emerging virtual technologies have on our understanding of the body, not only through examining representations of the technologically modified body, but also by exploring how contemporary cultural practices produce corporeal bodies that view themselves as somehow integrated with technology. It focuses on the material artefacts of contemporary culture in relation to explicitly virtual technologies, both arguing for a return to corporeality and contesting the pervasive trope of disembodiment that characterises so-called “posthuman” age. This study thus takes one of the most popular metaphors for the relationship between the corporeal body and technology as its starting point, namely Donna Haraway’s cyborg figures. Following the publication of Haraway’s “A Manifesto for Cyborgs” (1985), the female cyborg became an icon of emancipation for many feminist scholars, who utilised Haraway’s cyborg discourse as a means of discussing the cultural practices that both construct and limit female gendered identity. Through closely examining the metaphor of Haraway’s cyborg figures in relation to cultural representations of female cyborg bodies, this study argues that, ultimately, the metaphor of the cyborg is inherently neither challenging nor liberating. It then examines the failure of the cyborg as an icon of postgenderedness in terms of its negation of the corporeal, as cyborg figures paradoxically only strengthen the same Cartesian dualism Haraway’s cyborg discourse attempts to deconstruct. It explores representations of three female cyborg figures found in contemporary popular culture to illustrate how the cyborg body’s negation of the corporeal only results in the reiteration of conventional gendered stereotypes, rather than liberation from oppressive gendered practices. Finally, this study examines the crucial interplay between the corporeal and the technological, not only when speaking of more imaginary cyborg configurations and tropes, but also when speaking of the physical reality of lived bodies and embodied experiences. By examining the increasingly embodied nature of cyberspace, this study explores possible alternatives to the figure of the hypersexualised and disembodied cyborg, through investigating new figurations with which to describe the embodied postmodern subject and his/her dependence on technology. Since the central task for a feminist ethics of embodiment would be grounded in the project of representing the female body, in such a way that it constructs autonomous women’s representations without falling prey to patriarchal, stereotypical or estranging images of women’s bodies, this study concludes with more useful methods of representing the corporeal body in relation to virtual technology through an appeal to an ethics of embodiment. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die einde van die tweede millennium het ‘n skielike belangstelling in beliggaamdheid ontlok, veral binne feministiese vakgeleerdheid, waar beliggaamdheid en kwessies rondom die ligaam vir die eerste keer eksplisiet gestel is. Hierdie studie ondersoek die stoflike liggaam in verhouding tot tegnologie en die invloed wat nuwe, virtuele tegnologiëe op ons begrip van die liggaam het, nie slegs deur voorstellings van die tegnologies-gemodifieërde ligaam te ondersoek nie, maar deur ook te kyk na hoe kontemporêre kulturele praktyke beliggaamde subjekte produseer wat huself op een of ander wyse as geïntegreerd met tegnologie sien. Die studie fokus op die materiële artefakte van kontemporêre kultuur in verhouding tot eksplisiet virtuele tegnologiëe. Dit bevorder ‘n terugkeer tot beliggaamdheid, terwyl dit teen die sogenaamde “postmenslike” era se mees kenmerkende troop van ontliggaamdheid argumenteer. Die studie begin dus deur een van die mees populêre metafore vir die verhouding tussen die liggaamlike en die tegnologiese te ondersoek, naamlik Donna Haraway se siborgfigure. Sedert die publikasie van Haraway se “A Manifesto for Cyborgs” (1985), het verskeie feministiese vakgeleerdes die vroulike siborg-figuur beide as ’n ikoon vir emansipasie beskou en gebruik om die kulturele praktyke wat vroulike geslagsidentiteit gelyktydig konstrueer én beperk te bespreek. Deur Haraway se siborg-figure met kulturele voorstellings van vroulike siborg-liggame te vergelyk, kom hierdie studie tot die gevolgtrekking dat die metafoor van die siborg inherent nóg uitdaagend nóg bevrydend is. Gevolglik ondersoek die studie die onbevoegdheid van die siborg-figuur as ‘n ikoon vir postgeslagtigheid in terme van die siborg-liggaam se negering van beliggaamdheid, aangesien siborg-figure op ‘n paradoksale wyse die selfde Cartesiaanse dualisme versterk wat Haraway se siborg-diskoers wou dekonstrueer. Dit ondersoek voorstellings van drie vroulike siborg-figure in kontemporêre populêre kultuur om te illustreer hoe die siborgliggaam se negering van beliggaamdheid slegs konvensionele geslagstereotipes versterk, eerder as om ons van beperkende, patriargale geslagspraktyke te bevry. Ten slotte ondersoek hierdie studie die deurslaggewende tussenspel tussen die ligaamlike en die tegnologiese, nie slegs in terme van meer denkbeeldige siborg tropes nie, maar ook in terme van die fisiese reailiteit van konkrete, beliggaamde lewenservaringe. Deur die toenemend beliggaamde kwaliteit van kiberruimtes te ondersoek, stel hierdie studie moontlike alternatiewe maniere voor om die postmoderne subjek en sy/haar afhanklikheid van tegnologie te beskryf, eerder as om op ontliggaamde en hipergeseksualiseerde siborg-figure staat te maak. Aangesien ‘n feministiese beliggaamde etiek gegrond is in ‘n projek om die vroulike liggaam op só ‘n wyse voor te stel dat patriargale, stereotipiese of vervreemdbare beelde van die vroulike liggaam vermy word, eindig hierdie studie met meer nuttige metodes om die stoflike liggaam in verhouding tot virtuele tegnologie voor te stel deur ‘n beroep tot ‘n meer beliggaamde etiek te maak.

Rural community media are identified as a critical component of the rural community communication process. These SMMEs are however struggling to achieve sustainability and operate effectively due to the various challenges and constraints impacting them. This study seeks to address this by developing a Rural Community Media Mobile Social Networking Framework that will create a virtual community of practice for the purposes of support of rural entrepreneurs in small, medium and macro enterprises (SMMES) in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa. The author has specifically scoped this research to focus on Rural Community Media as a specialised subsegment of entrepreneurs operating in rural areas. The reasons for this decision were in part due to the effect and impact of community media on socio-economic development due to the role they play in enabling access to information and knowledge and giving a voice to poor and isolated communities The study proposes that provision of access to relevant information and knowledge via a mobile social networking framework would assist in cutting implementation costs through utilisation of a platform that is already there (known as rural community media). This study is scoped to focus specifically on rural community media with fieldwork conducted in the province of the Eastern Cape, South Africa. In summary the Research Methodology applied is as follows: - Research Philosophy: The interpretive research philosophy was chosen for this study - Research Design: This study will apply qualitative design - Research Approach: The case study approach will be used in the study - Data Collection Techniques: Source data will be comprised of primary and secondary data. Primary data will be collected through implementation of a questionnaire and expert reviews, while the secondary data will be collected through literature review. Hermeneutics will be used as the data collection technique in this study. - Data analysis: Cross-case data analysis will be applied Key findings included that rural community media already utilise mobile technology and social media/networking to conduct business. Rural community media required access to information and knowledge pertaining to internal business process, funding, governance, training and access to skilled resources. Mobile social networking is identified as a suitable vehicle for delivery. A Rural Community Media Social Networking Framework was developed as a result of this study. Framework elements were supported, and in some cases modified, by case study findings and expert review feedback.

Thesis (MTech (Design))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2011. / Many studies have been conducted on the interaction between environments and relevant information in the field of interaction design. Most of these studies are focused on increasing the awareness of technology, information and the interaction between them. This awareness could negatively lead to an increase in information overload where each bit of information is competing to be the centre of a person's attention. This information overload gets compounded even more when a person is in a public place because of the amount of available commercial information like billboards, digital displays and printed media which are constantly pushing information into the space. Cognitive studies have shown that human beings have a limit to the amount of information they can consciously focus on and process. When a person reaches information saturation, the quality of their decision-making ability deteriorates drastically (Bray, 2008). Information overload can lead to a situation called decision paralysis. The research proposed an investigation into the possibility of decreasing information overload through the use of calm computing. Relevant information could be pushed to the periphery where it could be accessed or attended to when it was needed. It was argued that when the intake of peripheral information could become an unconscious activity, mainly through the use of ubiquitous computing, more attention could be given to other important activities like increasing social interaction in public spaces.

Thesis (DTech (Informatics))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2015. / Governments of the developing world, including South Africa, have a strong commitment and resolve to accelerate the rollout of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) to achieve developmental benefits in communities. Consequently both government and the private sector are delivering a number of interventions in South Africa based on Information and Communication Technologies for Development (ICT4D). Hard evidence regarding the development benefits of ICT4D interventions is lacking and there is little agreement on measures to evaluate the benefits of such projects. One possible reason for this is that there are no established evaluation frameworks to assess the benefits. Frameworks used in ICT4D evaluation are investigated in this study to ascertain their usefulness to identify benefits of ICT4D initiatives. Sen’s Capability Approach defines development as freedom. An example of such development can be the process of providing opportunities through ICT and meaningful ways to use these opportunities to realise various benefits. Tangible benefits are simple to identify (e.g. number of people using the public access centre, or number of people finding employment). Intangible benefits include the real ‘wins’—capabilities garnered through access and meaningful use of ICT, leading to the recognition of new opportunities for the users of the public access centres. Sen’s Capability Approach is operationalised, demonstrating the inclusion of a person’s agency and conversion factors that inhibit or enhance utilisation of opportunities and choices in realising benefits. The SmartCape initiative is a 2002 ICT4D intervention established in the libraries of Cape Town, South Africa, and is used as a case in this research study. The libraries act as public access centres that provide free ICT and Internet access to library members in the community. Surveys completed by users of these centres provided useful quantitative data. A broad spectrum of qualitative data was gleaned from interviews and focus groups with users of the ICT centre at a recently established library and with focus groups from other centres in two underserved areas of Cape Town. Quantitative data analysis techniques applied to qualitative content data was used to investigate users’ diverse perceptions. An initial framework guided the analysis of data to identify the benefits realised by the users of the public access centre. Perceptions of a changed life, aspirations for a better life, and ‘hope’ emerged as intangible benefits. On the intangible side, the effect of keyboard proficiency, greater ease in finding information, and a preference for accessing the Internet at a public access centre emerged as having a significant effect on the hopefulness of PAC users. Two theme-groups were identified through using co- occurrences of themes and the statistical techniques of cluster analysis and multidimensional scaling. The Benefits-framework, produced by this study, based on Amartya Sen’s Capability Approach, represents the relationship between all the themes, includes emergent intangible benefits and can be used to identify the benefits of ICT4D interventions in public access centres. This study also produces empirical evidence of the developmental impact of the SmartCape ICT4D programme in Cape Town and thus provides evidence of its value.

Seu objetivo é identificar os fluxos de informação e contribuir para as conversões do conhecimento capazes de auxiliar no processo de autogestão. Seu foco é o processo de distribuição de atividades, os relatos das reuniões, o aprendizado das tarefas, e a forma como ocorre a troca de conhecimento adquirido com a prática das atividades. O caso escolhido para análise foi o da Cooperativa de Catadores Cooperando com a Natureza (Coopernatuz), que se dedica à triagem e venda de materiais recicláveis, localizada em Osasco/SP. Foi utilizada, adotando a pesquisa de campo, a Metodologia de Identificação de Fluxos de Informação. A observação do trabalho no âmbito da cooperativa e a realização de entrevistas permitiram a avaliação do conhecimento - técnicas e habilidades - adquirido pelos cooperados em sua prática cotidiana e a identificação de falhas concernentes à administração e à produção relativas às atividades das quatro equipes de trabalho, da diretoria e do conselho fiscal. A realização da pesquisa mostrou ser possível avançar num caminho ainda pouco trilhado, mas imprescindível para aumentar a efetividade das ações em curso no País nos campos da Economia Solidária e da Tecnologia Social. Ao ajudar na compreensão de como se dá a comunicação no interior da cooperativa, se espera que sua sustentabilidade - econômica, cultural, social e ambiental - possa ser ampliada. Num plano mais restrito, se acredita que os resultados alcançados podem contribuir para organização e incubação da cooperativa. / Abstract: This thesis analyzes the creation and conversion of knowledge in a Solidarity Economy Initiative. Its objective is to identify information fluxes and to contribute to knowledge conversions capable of assisting workers selfmanagement. Its focus is the process of activities distribution, the meetings reports, the learning of the workers' taks and the ways trough which knowledge is acquired in practical activities. The case chosen to analysis was the "Cooperativa de Catadores Cooperando com a Natureza (Coopernatuz)", that is dedicated to sorting out and selling recyclable materials, located in Osasco/SP. The identification of information fluxes methodology was adopted throughout field research. The observation of the work at the cooperative shop floor together with the interviews allowed the measurement of the knowledge - techniques and abilities - acquired by the cooperative workers during their daily practices and also allowed to identify the malpractices related to the management and the production of the four work teams, their board of directors and their financial council. The research showed to be possible to advance in this less travelled path but indispensable to improve the effectiveness of the Solidarity and Economy and Social Technology actions in the country. By helping to understand how communication happens inside the cooperative it is expected to enhance its economic, cultural, social and environmental sustainability. Specifically it is expected that the achieved results may contribute to the organization and start up of the cooperative. / Mestrado / Politica Cientifica e Tecnologica / Mestre em Política Científica e Tecnológica

O que levaria engenheiros e engenheiras a atuar de forma limitada e, principalmente, alienada diante da complexidade das relações entre ciência, tecnologia e sociedade. Partindo desse entendimento, a pesquisa que originou este trabalho analisou o currículo do curso de graduação da Faculdade de Engenharia de Alimentos da UNICAMP (FEA) à luz do campo da Educação em Ciência, Tecnologia e Sociedade (CTS). Na primeira etapa, as disciplinas foram classificadas segundo uma taxonomia elaborada a partir de três critérios: ênfase nos aspectos técnicos, aplicabilidade do conteúdo e flexibilidade da disciplina. O que sugere a existência de quatro tipos de disciplina que foram denominados: básica, aplicada, múltiplos aspectos e fechada. A seguir, observou-se o modo como esses tipos de disciplina se distribuem ao longo do curso. Essa primeira etapa apontou que o currículo possui as seguintes características: tecnicista, fechado, com clara separação entre teoria e prática e com foco na indústria. A segunda etapa da pesquisa consistiu numa interpretação desse resultado à luz das críticas que a Educação CTS faz à educação tecnocientífica convencional. Foram utilizadas as contribuições de Gordillo e Galbarte (2002), que apresentam sete ¿visões distorcidas¿ presentes na educação convencional; de Gordillo, Osório e Lopéz Cerezo (2000), que apresentam cinco ¿dicotomias¿ nela presentes; e Dagnino (2006), que organiza sua crítica em quatro possíveis visões da tecnociência. As duas primeiras críticas permitem evidenciar que o currículo da FEA apresenta ¿visões distorcidas¿ e ¿dicotomias¿. A terceira mostra que ele está fortemente influenciado pela ¿concepção instrumentalista da tecnociência¿. A conclusão indica que as críticas feitas pela Educação CTS são pertinentes ao curso da FEA: que ele traz implícita uma visão neutra de tecnociência e que, por ter como foco a indústria, não é plural. O contraste do resultado alcançado com a idéia de onde se partiu, de que a ausência de uma formação humanística não prepara o engenheiro para a crítica do sistema socioeconômico e político em que está inserido, levou a outra conclusão: não parece que a introdução de humanidades no currículo seja capaz de torná-lo mais plural. Isto é, de proporcionar ao engenheiro a capacidade de conceber formas tecnológicas que atendam a outros atores que não os que formam a ¿indústria¿ (leia-se a empresa privada). Alavancar uma sociedade alternativa, baseada em outros valores, interesses e atores, exige do engenheiro(a) uma reflexão sobre o caráter da tecnociência e de sua relação de coorganização com as forças que estruturam a sociedade / Abstract: The necessity of rethinking the formation process in the engineering courses has been pointed out by authors that focus their criticism on the emphasis given on the curriculum to technical aspects compared to the social and political aspects. What would take engineers to act in a limited way and, mainly, alienated before the complexity of the relations between science, technology and society. Based on this understanding, the research that originated this project analyzed the curriculum of the undergraduate course from the Food Engineering Faculty of UNICAMP (FEA) enlighten by Science, Technology and Society Education field (STS). On the first stage, the disciplines were classified according to a taxonomy elaborated based on three criterions: emphasis on technical aspects, applicability of contents and disciplines flexibility. Which suggests the existence of four kinds of disciplines that were denominated: basic, applied multiple aspects and closed. After that, the way these kinds of discipline are distributed along the course was observed. This first stage indicated that the curriculum has the following characteristics: emphasis on technical aspects, closed, with clear segregation between theory and practice and focused in the industry. The second stage of the research consisted on an interpretation of these results enlighten by the criticism STS Education makes to conventional technoscientific education. For this propos we used contributions from Gordillo and Galbarte (2002), which bring seven ¿distorted visions¿ present in conventional education; from Gordillo, Osório and Lopéz Cerezo (2000), who present five ¿dichotomies¿ within this education; and Dagnino (2006), who organizes its criticism in four possible visions of technoscience. The two first criticisms make it evident that FEA's curriculum presents ¿distorted visions¿ and ¿dichotomies¿. The third shows that it is strongly influenced by the ¿instrumentalist conception of technoscience¿. The conclusion indicates that the criticism made by STS Education is pertinent to FEA's course: that it brings implied a neutral vision of technoscience and that, for being focused on industries, is not plural. The contrast of the results achieved with the initial idea, that the absence of a humanistic formation doesn't prepare the engineer to criticize the socioeconomic and political system in which he is inserted, led to another conclusion: it doesn't seem that the introduction of humanities in the curriculum is capable of making it plural. That is, making the engineer capable of conceiving technological forms that answer to the need of other actors besides the ¿industry¿ (meaning private companies). To stimulate an alternative society, based on other values, interests and actors, demands from the engineer a reflection on the character of technoscience and on its coorganizational relations with the forces that give structure to society / Mestrado / Mestre em Política Científica e Tecnológica
