"It’s a bleak new world that has such virtual girlfriends in it. "
Chatbots by major influencers like Amouranth and Caryn Marjorie let fans pay by the minute for virtual interactions – here, an expert on parasocial relationships walks us through the risks.
Dr David Giles, who specialises in media psychology at the University of Winchester [on parasocial relatioships]. “Typically these are between media figures and members of the audience. The media user knows the media figure intimately, but s/he doesn’t exist for them (other than as part of a homogeneous ‘audience’).”
To some extent, social media has complicated this definition, since audiences have more access to media figures, and can talk back to them by leaving Instagram comments or typing in a Twitch chat. “I’ve always argued that we should understand relationships as existing on a spectrum, in which ‘social’ and ‘parasocial’ are the endpoints,” Giles adds. “So a relationship can be ‘partly parasocial’ – like many with vloggers, influencers etc. Fully parasocial would be something like a relationship with a fictional figure (who has never existed) or a dead human (like Elvis).”

Naguère combattu comme une hérésie, le renouvellement de la sociologie opéré par Pierre Bourdieu durant la seconde moitié du XXe siècle est désormais enseigné au lycée. Dans cet arsenal intellectuel, la notion de champ, souvent mal comprise, occupe une place centrale. En novembre 1995, le sociologue expliquait en quoi elle consiste.

As the political philosopher Hannah Arendt once stated: “The danger is that these [deterrence] theories are not only plausible because they take their evidence from actually discernable present trends, but that, because of their inner consistency, they have a hypnotic effect; they put to sleep our common sense, which is nothing else but our mental organ for perceiving, understanding, and dealing with reality and factuality” (quoted in Harrington 2016, 105–106)

Albert-László Barabási explained the processes underpinning such a neofeudalism in his analysis of the structure of complex networks, that is, networks characterized by free choice, growth, and preferential attachment. These are networks where people voluntarily make links or choices. The number of links per site grow over time, and people like things because others like them (the Netflix recommendation system, for instance, relies on this assumption).
The Fantasyland of ‘The Spirit Level’ and the Limitations of the Health and Well-Being Industry. After years of the Thatcherite free market rhetoric has The Spirit Level turned things round?

This paper aims go ahead in bringing back the ontological distinction and dialectical interaction between theconcepts of City (Polis) and the Urban (Urbs), something relatively clear in the ancient Latin Languages butnowadays certainly blurred, both, in the domestic public life as in the currently academic language, over-ruled by the American English. To undertake this task up we go back until Aristotle Politics to confront hissense of Polis (City) with the concept that on the City have some sociological and urbanism classical authors.Then, retaking the works of Henry Lefebvre (Right to the City), Manuel Castells (The city and the Grassroots)and David Harvey (The limits to Capital), we propose a preliminary and under construction concept of City,different from Urbs , as “political and sociological unity with limited spatial and temporal coherence”.
Technology hasn’t diminished the social quality of listening to music.
By Daniel A. Gross March 10, 2016
DANCING BY YOURSELF: Critics who lament that “silent discos” symbolize individualism and the breakdown of community are missing the full picture of music’s social powers.
"Technology hasn’t diminished the social bonds of music. On the contrary, we’ve created and adapted technology to enhance them."
Paul Mason i Guardian, bygger på Grundrisse. Hans bok: Postcapitalism is published by Allen Lane on 30 July.
"Postcapitalism is possible because of three major changes information technology has brought about in the past 25 years. First, it has reduced the need for work, blurred the edges between work and free time and loosened the relationship between work and wages. The coming wave of automation, currently stalled because our social infrastructure cannot bear the consequences, will hugely diminish the amount of work needed – not just to subsist but to provide a decent life for all."
"By creating millions of networked people, financially exploited but with the whole of human intelligence one thumb-swipe away, info-capitalism has created a new agent of change in history: the educated and connected human being."
Sirkku Hellsten:
"Itse asiassa juuri se, että kommunitaristinen ajattelu perustaa argumenttinsa niin moniin erilaisiin filosofisiin lähteisiin ja ilmenee niin monissa muodoissa eri puolilla maailmaa todistaa oikeaksi sellaisten kommunitarismin teoreetikoiden kuin Alasdair MacIntyren, Michael Walzerin, Michael Sandelin tai Charles Taylorin esittämän keskeisen deskriptiivisen kommunitarismin hypoteesin, jonka mukaan kaikki meidän omaksumamme arvot sekä moraalinen identiteettimme ovat aina tavalla tai toisella sidoksissa siihen yhteiskuntajärjestelmään ja kulttuuriin, jonka piiriin me olemme syntyneet ja jonka vaikutuksen alaisina kasvaneet.
Tämän hypoteesin vakavasti ottaminen tarkoittaa sitä, että yksilökeskeisessä ja liberalistisessa yhteiskunnassa syntynyt kommunitaristinen ajattelu on aina välttämättä normatiivisesti idnividualistisempaa kuin jo alunperin kollektivistisemmassa kulttuurissa syntynyt yhteisöllisen etiikan ajaminen. Niinpä amerikkalaisella ja vaikkapa afrikkalaisella kommunitarismilla ei, ironista kyllä, enää normatiivisesta näkökulmasta voi olla kovinkaan paljon yhteisiä poliittisia arvoja.
Itse asiassa selviä poliittisia painotuseroja löytyy jo länsimaisen kommunitarismin sisälläkin. Ehkä kaikkein keskeisin ero vaikkapa amerikkalaisen ja eurooppalaisen kommunitaristisen ajattelun välillä on siinä, että eurooppalaisessa ajattelussa aktiiviseksi yhteisöllisiksi toimijaksi nousee kansallisvaltio siinä, missä amerikkalaiset kommunitaristit korostavat nimenomaan pienempien valtion sisäisten yhteisöiden kuten naapuriyhteisöjen, työpaikkayhteisöjen, vapaaehtoisjärjestöjen ja perheiden merkitystä moraalisina kasvattajina ja toimijoina."
