Book excerpt: Spanish Abstract: El presente artículo tiene como objetivo reflexionar y problematizar la cuestión de la gestión del conocimiento para la Apropiación Social de la Ciencia y Tecnología (ASCyT) que se presenta como una línea de acción de la Estrategia Nacional que sobre este asunto lanza Colciencias, el Organismo Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnología de Colombia en 2010. Este análisis se realiza a la luz de las propuestas que hacen actores dedicados a la apropiación en el marco del foro nacional que sobre este tema se organizó en 2014. Nos preguntamos por el significado y los retos que supone pensar una gestión del conocimiento para la ASCyT. En la medida en que la misma se define sobre la comprensión de que el conocimiento es móvil, diverso y situado y por tanto difícilmente administrable, tratamos de mostrar la amenaza que suponen miradas simplistas de la gestión que privilegian criterios de novedad, eficacia y evaluación a través de indicadores.
Book Synopsis La construcción de la sociedad del conocimiento y las políticas públicas de apropiación social de la ciencia, la tecnología y la innovación (The Construction of the Society of Knowledge, and the Public Policies of Social Appropriation Regarding Science, Technology and Innovation). by : Marta Cecilia Palacio Sierra
Download or read book La construcción de la sociedad del conocimiento y las políticas públicas de apropiación social de la ciencia, la tecnología y la innovación (The Construction of the Society of Knowledge, and the Public Policies of Social Appropriation Regarding Science, Technology and Innovation). written by Marta Cecilia Palacio Sierra and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spanish Abstract: La sociedad actual tiende a privatizar los beneficios generados por el conocimiento científico y tecnológico, excluyendo a los mismos ciudadanos del acceso a los procesos de producción y apropiación de dichos conocimientos. Es por esto que es necesario proponer un cambio profundo en los modelos orientadores de las políticas públicas, con el fin de responder a las demandas de democratización de la ciencia, la tecnología y la innovación. En tal sentido, este artículo plantea como objetivo avanzar en un análisis crítico de los modelos lineal y de mercado que orientan las actuales Políticas Públicas de Ciencia, Tecnología e Innovación y Políticas Públicas de Apropiación Social de la Ciencia, la Tecnología y la Innovación en Colombia, y sostiene que los modelos participativos se constituyen en una alternativa para contrarrestar la privatización progresiva del conocimiento tecnocientífico y los beneficios derivados de la innovación que se constituyen en un obstáculo a la construcción de la sociedad del conocimiento.
Book Synopsis Apropiación social del conocimiento científico y tecnológico. Un legado de sentidos (Social Appropriation of Science and Technology. A Legacy of Meanings). by : Lisha Pamela Dávila-Rodríguez
Download or read book Apropiación social del conocimiento científico y tecnológico. Un legado de sentidos (Social Appropriation of Science and Technology. A Legacy of Meanings). written by Lisha Pamela Dávila-Rodríguez and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spanish Abstract: la apropiación social como un concepto que construye sentido en teorías, paradigmas y grandes relatos posibilita observar cómo se utiliza el término como motor de procesos particulares desde la filosofía hegeliana, la psicología, la literatura, el arte y hasta en el campo de las tecnologías de información y comunicación. Este trabajo revisa cómo estas significaciones repercuten cuando se las relaciona también con la ciencia y la tecnología. Esta variabilidad de significados hace posible una interpretación del legado de sentidos del término, a partir de la cual surge una propuesta conceptual para entender la apropiación social del conocimiento, científico y tecnológico, y su potencialidad de acción, como un factor emancipador del dominio, las asimetrías y desigualdades que marcan ciertos sistemas dominantes como el capitalismo cognitivo.

Download or read book A Foucault Primer written by Alec McHoul and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-03-24 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who are we today? That deceptively simple question continued to be asked by the French historian and philosopher, Michel Foucault, who for the last three decades has had a profound influence on English-speaking scholars in the humanities and social sciences.; This text is designed for undergraduates and others who feel in need of some assistance when coming to grips with Foucault's voluminous and complex writings. Instead of dealing with them chronologically, however, this book concentrates on some of their central concepts, primarily Foucault's rethinking of the categories of "discourse", "power", and " the subject".; Foucault's writings contribute collectively to what he himself calls "an ontology of the present". His historical research was always geared towards showing how things could have been and still could be otherwise. This is especially the case with respect to the production of human subjects.

Book Synopsis Transforming Modernity by : Néstor García Canclini
Download or read book Transforming Modernity written by Néstor García Canclini and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2010-06-28 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is popular culture merely a process of creating, marketing, and consuming a final product, or is it an expression of the artist's surroundings and an attempt to alter them? Noted Argentine/Mexican anthropologist Néstor García Canclini addresses these questions and more in Transforming Modernity, a translation of Las culturas populares en el capitalismo. Based on fieldwork among the Purépecha of Michoacán, Mexico, some of the most talented artisans of the New World, the book is not so much a work of ethnography as of philosophy—a cultural critique of modernism. García Canclini delineates three interpretations of popular culture: spontaneous creation, which posits that artistic expression is the realization of beauty and knowledge; "memory for sale," which holds that original products are created for sale in the imposed capitalist system; and the tourist outlook, whereby collectibles are created to justify development and to provide insight into what capitalism has achieved. Transforming Modernity argues strongly for popular culture as an instrument of understanding, reproducing, and transforming the social system in order to elaborate and construct class hegemony and to reflect the unequal appropriation and distribution of cultural capital. With its wide scope, this book should appeal to readers within and well beyond anthropology—those interested in cultural theory, social thought, and Mesoamerican culture.
Book Synopsis Rethinking Heritage by : Robert Shannan Peckham
Download or read book Rethinking Heritage written by Robert Shannan Peckham and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-09-17 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Rethinking Heritage" brings together leading writers and thinkers to examine the ways in which ingrained assumptions about heritage are being challenged today. It explores key questions that surround heritage as a pressing political issue: what happens when the concept of culture is uncoupled from the nation? What meanings does heritage have in the context of the new societies and within the so-called new "politics of difference"? How does history become heritage? What history should we preserve as heritage? The contributors draw upon visual, literary and documentary evidence to examine heritage's contested histories. The result is an anthology of critical writing which should be indispensable reading for those with an interest in cultural history, politics and European studies.

Book Synopsis Entrepreneurial Selves by : Carla Freeman
Download or read book Entrepreneurial Selves written by Carla Freeman and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2015-02-15 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Entrepreneurial Selves is an ethnography of neoliberalism. Bridging political economy and affect studies, Carla Freeman turns a spotlight on the entrepreneur, a figure saluted across the globe as the very embodiment of neoliberalism. Steeped in more than a decade of ethnography on the emergent entrepreneurial middle class of Barbados, she finds dramatic reworkings of selfhood, intimacy, labor, and life amid the rumbling effects of political-economic restructuring. She shows us that the déjà vu of neoliberalism, the global hailing of entrepreneurial flexibility and its concomitant project of self-making, can only be grasped through the thickness of cultural specificity where its costs and pleasures are unevenly felt. Freeman theorizes postcolonial neoliberalism by reimagining the Caribbean cultural model of 'reputation-respectability.' This remarkable book will allow readers to see how the material social practices formerly associated with resistance to capitalism (reputation) are being mobilized in ways that sustain neoliberal precepts and, in so doing, re-map class, race, and gender through a new emotional economy.
Book Synopsis Learning to Write by : Gunther Kress
Download or read book Learning to Write written by Gunther Kress and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2003-09-02 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1982, this influential and classic text poses two questions: what is it that a child learns when he or she learns to write? What can we learn about children, society and ourselves, by looking at this process? The book is based on a close analysis of a series of written texts by primary school children and is written for student teachers with little or no knowledge of linguistics. In this new edition, Gunther Kress has made extensive revisions in the light of recent developments in linguistics and in education. The theoretical focus is now a social semiotic one, which allows a fundamental rethinking of issues such as 'preliteracy' and broad social and cultural questions around the making of texts.

Download or read book The SAGE Handbook of Architectural Theory written by C. Greig Crysler and published by SAGE. This book was released on 2012-01-20 with total page 1012 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Offers an intense scholarly experience in its comprehensiveness, its variety of voices and its formal organization... the editors took a risk, experimented and have delivered a much-needed resource that upends the status-quo." - Architectural Histories, journal of the European Architectural History Network "Architectural theory interweaves interdisciplinary understandings with different practices, intentions and ways of knowing. This handbook provides a lucid and comprehensive introduction to this challenging and shifting terrain, and will be of great interest to students, academics and practitioners alike." - Professor Iain Borden, UCL Bartlett School of Architecture "In this collection, architectural theory expands outward to interact with adjacent discourses such as sustainability, conservation, spatial practices, virtual technologies, and more. We have in The Handbook of Architectural Theory an example of the extreme generosity of architectural theory. It is a volume that designers and scholars of many stripes will welcome." - K. Michael Hays, Eliot Noyes Professor of Architectural Theory, Harvard University The SAGE Handbook of Architectural Theory documents and builds upon the most innovative developments in architectural theory over the last two decades. Bringing into dialogue a range of geographically, institutionally and historically competing positions, it examines and explores parallel debates in related fields. The book is divided into eight sections: Power/Difference/Embodiment Aesthetics/Pleasure/Excess Nation/World/Spectacle History/Memory/Tradition Design/Production/Practice Science/Technology/Virtuality Nature/Ecology/Sustainability City/Metropolis/Territory. Creating openings for future lines of inquiry and establishing the basis for new directions for education, research and practice, the book is organized around specific case studies to provide a critical, interpretive and speculative enquiry into the relevant debates in architectural theory.
Book Synopsis Networking Peripheries by : Anita Say Chan
Download or read book Networking Peripheries written by Anita Say Chan and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2024-05-21 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An exploration of the diverse experiments in digital futures as they advance far from the celebrated centers of technological innovation and entrepreneurship. In Networking Peripheries, Anita Chan shows how digital cultures flourish beyond Silicon Valley and other celebrated centers of technological innovation and entrepreneurship. The evolving digital cultures in the Global South vividly demonstrate that there are more ways than one to imagine what digital practice and global connection could look like. To explore these alternative developments, Chan investigates the diverse initiatives being undertaken to “network” the nation in contemporary Peru, from attempts to promote the intellectual property of indigenous artisans to the national distribution of digital education technologies to open technology activism in rural and urban zones. Drawing on ethnographic accounts from government planners, regional free-software advocates, traditional artisans, rural educators, and others, Chan demonstrates how such developments unsettle dominant conceptions of information classes and innovations zones. Government efforts to turn rural artisans into a new creative class progress alongside technology activists' efforts to promote indigenous rights through information tactics; plans pressing for the state wide adoption of open source–based technologies advance while the One Laptop Per Child initiative aims to network rural classrooms by distributing laptops. As these cases show, the digital cultures and network politics emerging on the periphery do more than replicate the technological future imagined as universal from the center.
Book Synopsis A Tale of Seven Scientists and a New Philosophy of Science by : Eric Scerri
Download or read book A Tale of Seven Scientists and a New Philosophy of Science written by Eric Scerri and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016-10-10 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his latest book, Eric Scerri presents a completely original account of the nature of scientific progress. It consists of a holistic and unified approach in which science is seen as a living and evolving single organism. Instead of scientific revolutions featuring exceptionally gifted individuals, Scerri argues that the "little people" contribute as much as the "heroes" of science. To do this he examines seven case studies of virtually unknown chemists and physicists in the early 20th century quest to discover the structure of the atom. They include the amateur scientist Anton van den Broek who pioneered the notion of atomic number as well as Edmund Stoner a then physics graduate student who provided the seed for Pauli's Exclusion Principle. Another case is the physicist John Nicholson who is virtually unknown and yet was the first to propose the notion of quantization of angular momentum that was soon put to good use by Niels Bohr. Instead of focusing on the logic and rationality of science, Scerri elevates the role of trial and error and multiple discovery and moves beyond the notion of scientific developments being right or wrong. While criticizing Thomas Kuhn's notion of scientific revolutions he agrees with Kuhn that science is not drawn towards an external truth but is rather driven from within. The book will enliven the long-standing debate on the nature of science, which has increasingly shied away from the big question of "what is science?"

El estrecho dudoso is a masterful and compelling poetic account of early colonial Central America, and the translation is likewise masterful." --Colonial Latin American Historical Review In this book-length poem, Nicaraguan priest and revolutionary Ernesto Cardenal tells the story of the Spanish conquest of Central America from the "discovery" of the American continent to recent historical events.
