2007-11-04 08:46  Sociologia del web 2.0
Ho finalmente trovato il tempo di leggere l'articolo di David Beer e Roger Burrows (uno degli organizzatori del convegno di York) intitolato "Sociology and, of and in Web 2.0: Some Initial Considerations". Ho preso nota di alcuni passi che mi sono sembrati particolarmente interessanti nello spazio tumblr. Lo scopo dichiarato dell'articolo è quello di mettere in luce come il Web 2.0 sia un fenomeno sociologicamente interessante e al tempo stesso una sfida aperta per chi si occupa di studiare la s …

2007-10-26 19:21  Facebook is not social media
I have recently been reading, slowly and with considerable effort, Hannah Arendt's The Human Condition. What I have read seems to suggest a surprising conclusion: Facebook.com, and many other comparable forms of what is commonly called "social media" or "social computing", is not fundamentally "social". I try to explain the line of this thought, with help from Arendt's book. A fundamental concept for her is vita activa, consisting of three fundamental human activities labor, work, and action. Th …

Daily Mail, 15 October 2007 How in God's name have we come to this In three hospitals in Kent, at least 90 patients have died from a superbug infection caused by filthy conditions with unwashed bedpans, staff 'too busy' to clean their hands and - most appalling of all - nurses telling patients with diarrhoea to 'go in their beds'. This unspeakable situation reveals not just callousness towards suffering and indifference to human dignity but a breakdown of some of our most basic civilised values. …

2007-10-12 20:18  Liar, Rigoberta Menchu
I think it's time to put together a series on leftist icons and the reality behind them. For the first entry, I choose Nobel Peace Prize laureate Rigoberta Menchu. The fact that she's a fraud hasn't much diminished Rigoberta Menchu's status with the PC Left. She didn't have to give back her Nobel Peace Prize and her book is still quite the hit with the stooges of Academia. Her story is just too "good", so its veracity, in the tradition of agit-prop, matters little. Who cares, eg. that her allege …

The list of problems plaguing college campuses is extensive: illegal drugs, alcohol abuse, sexual assault. But according to experts, there's a lesser-known, but equally-present danger: cults. As part of Parents Weekend, the USC Department of Sociology presented "Sects in the City: Protecting Your Children from Cults" Thursday afternoon, with the aim of educating parents about how to help their children avoid cult recruitment techniques.

After reading Stephen Steinberg’s Turning Back: The Retreat from Racial Justice in American Thought and Policy (Beacon, 1995), I could not understand why he was not more famous. After all, Steinberg’s book so discredited the empirical basis of William Julius Wilson’s prominent work, The Declining Significance of Race, that Wilson publicly conceded his faulty analysis. But after reading Steinberg’s new book, Race Relations: A Critique, his lack of prominence is understandable. Steinberg insists o …

Railton (1986) proposes a naturalistic conception of normativity: "facts about what ought to be the case are facts of a special kind about the ways things are. As a result, it may be possible for them to have a function within an explanatory theory." (p.185) To capture this, he introduces the notion of criterial explanation : "we explain why something happened by reference to a relevant criterion, given the existence of a process that in effect selects for (or against) phenomena that more (or le …
