The document discusses the history and migration of the Gorenflo family from France to Germany to the United States, driven by religious persecution and political instability. It then discusses how William Gorenflo defected from the Confederate Army during the American Civil War and joined the Union Army instead. Finally, it argues that equity, democracy, and diversity are not just moral issues but critical for societal resilience, and calls for distributing power and wealth through common resources at all scales.
The antihero of the mexican revolution novelInfotec
The document discusses analyzing the antihero figure from novels of the Mexican Revolution and how it evolved and was perpetuated through the genre of "corridos," a form of popular Mexican music. The objective is to explore how the antihero's cultural value is manifested in this expression of popular culture. The methodology involves defining the antihero's actions and characteristics from revolution novels, then establishing a corpus of corridos in different categories to analyze through computational methods if the antihero figure survived in Mexican popular culture's social imaginary through corridos. The conclusion may be that the antihero of revolution novels persists in the collective imaginary as portrayed in corridos.
Quantitative sociologist Harald Katzmair, Ph.d describes the role web 2.0 can play in social change, and how it can be a boon but also a trap. The boon is that it connects us, which is necessary precursor to common understanding and action. The potential trap is that participants get stuck in the conversation mode and do not move into action mode. Participation is not power, but it can lead to power if we understand its role in the ecosystem of social change and it's used accordingly.
The document discusses the importance of studying corridos, which are Mexican folk ballads. It notes that corridos remain culturally relevant and continue to evolve over time rather than become forgotten folklore. The document proposes classifying corridos based on their narrative elements, such as themes of love, vengeance, bandits, and historical events. It also presents a proposed database design for organizing information about corridos, including narrative elements, locations, characters, authors, and other metadata.
The document summarizes the author's experience staying in unusual low-cost accommodations and using alternative transportation during the South by Southwest festival in Austin, Texas. The author enjoyed staying in the Tiny Pink Mansion, a trailer and shack rental, and renting a bike from their neighbor Eric Luckett. The bike allowed the author to easily navigate Austin and have lunch almost daily at the colorful and diverse food trucks, meeting new people and experiencing the welcoming culture.
The document contains an agenda for a conference with sessions on resilience thinking, resilience and the commons, design thinking, and structured networking. It includes start and end times for each session, as well as breaks, and concludes with a cash bar reception.

The document discusses the growing sharing economy and its potential positive impacts. It notes trends like the rise of makerspaces, open source projects, citizen-led government services, and scale of digital connectivity. Benefits mentioned include more sustainable resource use, broader employment, reduced costs and increased access to resources, and a focus on relationships and contribution over wealth and ownership. The document calls for distributing power and wealth more widely through common resources at every scale.
