Presentation by Dr Craig Hammond on chaos theory, complexity theory and the ideas of Deleuze & Guattari (Rhizome, Nomadism and Arborescence). Delivered at University Centre Blackburn College (UCBC)
This document discusses the philosopher Jรผrgen Habermas and some of his key concepts related to modernity and discourse ethics. It outlines that Habermas viewed modernity as based on rationality and the ability to reason, with democratic citizens practicing rational discourse to establish universal laws. Habermas formulated "discourse ethics" which establishes rules for rational discourse, including that all participants be allowed to question assertions, introduce alternatives, and freely express themselves without coercion. The document warns that irrationality, unpredictability, violence and power can undermine rational discourse.
Jurgen Habermas is a German philosopher known for his theories of communicative rationality and discourse ethics. He argues that moral norms are only valid if they can be publicly justified through discourse that follows principles of inclusion, equality, and lack of coercion. This transforms Kant's view of individual moral reasoning to a collective process of argumentation. Habermas' theory aims to ground ethics in processes of rational democratic deliberation.
Critical discourse analysis (CDA) focuses on analyzing written or spoken language to reveal power relationships in society. It is based on theories from Michel Foucault and the Frankfurt School. CDA examines how language constructs social realities in ways that maintain inequalities. The approach considers both what texts include and omit, and how power relations are expressed and reproduced through language and discourse. The goal is to uncover hidden assumptions and ideologies to challenge social injustices.
Foucault is a prominent philosopher whose work is still relevant today. He rejected being labeled and is interpreted differently by different audiences. Foucault examined how subjects are objectified through dividing practices and systems of knowledge. He was influenced by Nietzsche and aimed to create a critical history and ontology of ourselves to analyze the constitution of human subjects and operation of power without prioritizing power or desire. Foucault's work has been applied in educational research in various ways by different scholars.
This document is a paper submitted by Goswami Mahirpari C. to the Department of English. The paper discusses Michael Foucault's views on power and knowledge. Specifically, it examines how Foucault argues that authorities who possess power in society produce knowledge about those who lack power, creating systems of discourse that categorize subjects and treat them in particular ways, serving as modes of social control. The paper also questions why lower caste people have not had the right to get an education.
Foucault's last works focused on how individuals constituted themselves as ethical subjects through spiritual practices and techniques. He analyzed the Greek concept of "parrhesia" which referred to speaking boldly and truthfully for the public good, even at personal risk. In his 1983 lectures, Foucault examined how parrhesia was practiced in Greek literature and philosophy as both a civic duty and spiritual exercise involving self-examination and truth-telling. He sought to understand truth-telling as a specific activity rather than just analyzing concepts of truth.

Douglas Kellner critically analyzes Habermas's concept of the public sphere. Habermas argued that the bourgeois public sphere allowed citizens to openly assemble and critically debate issues of common concern that could influence political decisions. However, Kellner notes criticisms that Habermas neglected groups like women and workers. Kellner also discusses how new technologies are creating new public spheres, and that activists should use these technologies to engage the public and intervene in debates.
This document provides an overview of linguistic approaches to analyzing ideology between 1979 and 2010. It discusses three main approaches: Critical Linguistics (CL), Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), and Critical Stylistics (CS). CL, introduced in 1979, used linguistic analysis and Systemic Functional Grammar to analyze ideology in texts. CDA, developed in 1989, expanded CL to include social and institutional contexts. Between 1989-2010, various CDA theories emerged. CS, introduced in 2010, returned linguistic analysis to the forefront by drawing on CL and CDA. The document reviews developments across these three decades in applying linguistic theories to analyze textual ideologies.

This document discusses Michel Foucault's archaeological analysis method. It examines some key concepts in Foucault's work, including contingency in history, skepticism of claims of historical truth, and the idea of power as a relation rather than something possessed. It also discusses Foucault's view of discourse as structured statements that produce knowledge and establish rules about what can and cannot be said. Finally, it analyzes accounts of Java from 16th-17th century sources that provide different perspectives on the Sundanese people.
Michel Foucault was a highly influential 20th century French philosopher and historian known for his analyses of discourse, knowledge, truth and power. Some of his major works examined the history of systems like madness, medicine and punishment. A key aspect of his project was using genealogical methods inspired by Nietzsche to uncover how power operates through discourse and the production of truth. In his work Discipline and Punish, Foucault analyzed how power has shifted from sovereign forms focused on the body to more subtle disciplinary power operating through surveillance, normalization and self-regulation.
Post-structuralism emerged in the late 1960s as a theoretical approach that questioned structuralism. It was influenced by French theorists including Jacques Derrida, Michel Foucault, Jacques Lacan, Julia Kristeva, and Roland Barthes. These theorists revealed how language, concepts, and social structures depend on elements they seek to exclude. Derrida in particular showed how meaning is unstable and dependent on difference rather than a direct link between signifier and signified. Postmodernism built on post-structuralism by further questioning truth claims and grand narratives. Theorists examined how power shapes knowledge and marginalizes groups.
Zygmunt Bauman argues that modern society is organized around consumption rather than production. Individual freedom and identity are based on consuming goods and services through the consumer market. As a result, consumption is privatized and commodified, fueling ever-increasing consumption. People define themselves and each other by what they consume rather than what they produce.

The document discusses empowering students to take control of their seminars through collaboration and creativity rather than traditional instruction. It encourages students to get thinking, start collaborating, and realize their own knowledge and ideas are equally valid as the lecturer's. Students are urged to use the resources offered to nurture their skills to do it themselves and become "Edupunks," coming up with their own ideas in line with an approach called "students as producers."
This document provides an overview of Hannah Arendt's major works and key concepts including her rejection of subject-object dichotomies in favor of intersubjectivity, her emphasis on expressive and communicative action, and concepts of natality and the importance of space for new political beginnings. It also summarizes her views on anti-foundationalism in philosophy and politics, and how totalitarianism can be countered through collective political action and the human capacity for new beginnings.

Max Weber: Politics & Science as 'Vocations'Craig Hammond
ย
Max Weber argues that politics and science can be vocations. For politics, Weber sees it pessimistically as involving power, violence and domination to control the population. Science too can involve mundane, low pursuits but may also be a high calling to discover profound truths through inspired, soulful work. Weber advocates a fusion of high-minded science with principled politics to guide society towards authentic spiritual directions pursuing external and internal beauty.
This document discusses the key principles of actor-network theory (ANT) as proposed by Bruno Latour, Michel Callon, and John Law. Some main points of ANT include: not assuming a distinction between macro and micro levels of social organization, but rather focusing on interactions; considering both humans and non-humans as equal "actors" in heterogeneous networks; and identifying "black boxes" that stand in for highly complex, stabilized systems. Technology is seen as integral to human society, with networks consisting of interconnected people and things communicating through "intermediaries". However, some critics argue the theory's key terms like "actor", "network", and use of "theory" are problematic.
Georg Simmel was a German sociologist born in 1858 who focused on how society is formed through patterns of social interaction and the forms they take. He rejected theories that reduced social behavior to individual personalities or larger collective forces. Instead, he viewed everyday social interactions and relationships as creating their own level of social reality. Simmel examined how different types of small group formations, such as dyads and triads, qualitatively change the dynamics of interactions. He also explored how social roles and types, such as strangers, are shaped by occupying a position between inclusion in and exclusion from a group.
The document discusses three writers - Zygmund Bauman, Arjun Appadurai, and Naomi Klein - and their theories about how globalization has impacted equality worldwide. Bauman argues that globalization allows the rich to pursue their interests without regard for others. Appadurai asserts that what one group sees as community, another may see as imprisonment. Klein contends that ideas of freedom and democracy cannot credibly be marketed at the same time as bombing people.
Women are still not equal to their male coworkers in the Australian workforce. They are seen as desirable employees as long as they don't require accommodations for pregnancy or make other demands. Studies show that women often get paid less than men for the same jobs. Historically, women have become incorporated into the workforce out of economic necessity rather than choice.
The document discusses cities and urbanization trends through a conversation between Zygmunt Bauman, Irena Bauman, and Henning Thomsen. Some key points:
1) Zygmunt Bauman views cities as "camping grounds" impacted by globalization and places where problems created by globalization are "dumped." Cities also experiment with new forms of human habitation.
2) Irena Bauman chose to stay in Leeds after school and grew fond of it, finding London too stressful for everyday life due to its size.
3) Both argue that smaller regional cities like Leeds have advantages over large global cities, including a more human scale, access to nature, and a sense
This document discusses differing perspectives on the privatization of education systems. Proponents argue that privatization provides choice, makes schools more responsive, and improves cost efficiency and quality. However, others argue that privatization could increase inequality and that public schools should ensure all children have access to a high-quality local education. The document also examines privatization trends within Australia and references a theory on privatization from academic literature.
Zygmunt Bauman argues that freedom is not a universal condition, but rather a social construct that benefits some over others. He makes three main points: 1) Freedom exists relationally, where some can only be free if others are not. 2) Capitalism influences modern freedoms by commoditizing labor and prioritizing consumer goods as status symbols. 3) Government policy ignores the needs of the underprivileged, entrenching inequality. While briefly offering communalism as an alternative, Bauman leaves open how to overcome capitalism's deep entrenchment in society and shift to a system with true public freedom.
Media Life is a course intended for undergraduate students across campus. Its goal is to make people aware of the role that media play in their everyday life. The key to understanding a "media life" is to see our lives not as lived WITH media (which would lead to a focus on media effects and media-centric theories of society), but rather IN media (where the distinction between what we do with and without media dissolves).

This lecture in the philosophy of climate change introduces module 3, which is about theories of climate politics. We survey political theory and the powers and limitations of science.
This document provides an overview of the history and definition of social science. It discusses how social science aims to understand human behavior and interactions within societies. The term "social science" was coined in the 19th century, though related ideas date back further. Key figures like Aristotle, Comte, Durkheim, Marx, Freud, and James helped establish social science disciplines and methods. Quantitative methods became more prominent in the 20th century. The document also lists several important individuals from history who influenced the development of social sciences through ideas like scientific revolution, rationalization, and challenging traditions.
Sociology developed out of the intellectual movement of the Enlightenment in 18th century Europe. Auguste Comte coined the term "sociology" in 1839 to describe the scientific study of human social life and society. Early contributors like Herbert Spencer, Lester Ward, and Emile Durkheim applied scientific methods of systematic observation and classification to the study of societies. The first sociology departments were established in the late 19th century in the United States and Europe. By the early 20th century, sociology was becoming institutionalized as an academic discipline with dedicated journals, professional associations, and university programs established around the world.

Chapter 7:
FROM THE RENAISSANCE TO THE DAWN OF SCIENCE
Zeitgeist (1350โ1700)(1350โ1700).
IntroductionThis chapter covers the time from the end of the Middle Ages to the dawn of science, a period of over 400 years.Heliocentrism โ the astronomical model in which the planets revolve around the Sun in elliptical orbits.
The RenaissanceHumanism helped ignite the historical period known as the Renaissance.
The RenaissanceErasmus (1467โ1536)Erasmus was one of the first to take full advantage of the power of the printing press and was the first author to enjoy the benefits of a mass market.
Figure 7.1
The ReformationsMartin Luther (1483โ1546)Lutherโs use of the printing press, printing in Latin and German, allowed others to learn of his ideas quickly.The precipitating event for Lutherโs revolt was the sale of indulgences, a long-standing practice in the Roman Catholic Church.
The ReformationsThe Counter ReformationThe Roman Catholic Church set up a new mechanism, the Index of Prohibited Books. Anyone caught reading or possessing a book on that list could be labeled a heretic.Another mechanism was the establishment of the Roman Inquisition in 1542 by Pope Paul III.
The Rise of ScienceNicolaus Copernicus (1473โ1543)His only major work, On the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres, was published in 1543 just before his death.In his book, Copernicus switched the positions of the earth and sun, placing the sun at the center of the universe.

Figure 7.5
The Rise of ScienceJohannes Kepler (1571โ1630)He disliked Ptolemaic theory because of its complexity, lack of neatness, and dependence on a variety of hypothetical devices (e.g., epicycles, deferents, and equants).He published a book detailing his model the Mysterium Cosmographicum (The Mysteries of the Universe).Kepler took Braheโs precise observations and interpreted them mathematically.

The Rise of ScienceGalileo (1564โ1642)The book, Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems, was published in 1632. His punishment was house arrest at his home near Florence.While under house arrest, Galileo wrote his last book, Discourses and Mathematical Demonstrations Relating to Two New Sciences. It he covered his lifeโs work including technologies, the physics of motion, the strength of materials, and acceleration.

Stuart Hall argued that audiences can have dominant, negotiated, or oppositional readings of media texts based on their cultural identity and ideology. David Morley conducted research using Hall's theories, including a famous study of audience reactions to the BBC program Nationwide. The study found different responses based on participants' backgrounds, supporting Hall's ideas about encoded and decoded meanings.

The document discusses behavioral therapy and its limitations compared to other therapies like psychoanalysis. It notes that behavioral therapies do not address unconscious factors underlying behavior and are not comprehensive systems of psychotherapy. Modern behavioral theories are complex and include concepts like automaticity theories, but there are hundreds of techniques which makes them less parsimonious. Bandura developed social learning theory to explain human learning, showing it is not just classical and operant conditioning. His reciprocal determinism concept posits an interaction between personal, behavioral, and environmental factors. Integrative psychotherapy looks to various theories to see what can be learned from each and uses different approaches like theoretical integration and technical eclecticism.

Mixedmethods basics: Systematic, integrated mixed methods and textbooks, NVIVOWendy Olsen
ย
I define mixed methods and show that systematic mixed methods can be well organised, with transparent data coding and case-wise data held carefully for hypothesis testing. I list the relevant textbooks. I challenge the schism idea that qualitative methods are intrinsically opposed to what is usually done with quantitative methods. I show how an integrated approach can be begun, giving examples. Suitable to professional researchers, those doing focus groups, and those wanting more background for their qualitative research to come from quantitative data.
Audience theory is the starting point for analyzing media texts. There have been several theories proposed to explain the relationship between audiences and media texts, from the earliest Hypodermic Needle Model which viewed audiences as passive receivers, to more modern theories that recognize audiences as active users who consume media for different reasons. Key theories discussed include the Two-Step Flow theory which proposes information spreads through opinion leaders, Uses and Gratifications which examines why audiences consume different media to fulfill various needs, and Reception Theory which acknowledges individual audience members can interpret the same text differently based on their own experiences and perspectives.

1. John Kingdon's "garbage can" model of agenda-setting and policy formulation describes three streams that influence policymaking: the problem stream, policy stream, and political stream. When these streams converge, a policy window opens where issues can be addressed.
2. To advance their climate change agenda, WWF could use Kingdon's model by keeping the issue prominent in the problem stream, developing policy solutions in the policy stream, and looking for opportunities in the political stream like elections or disasters.
3. The media could both help and hinder WWF's cause. Media coverage can magnify issues but also follows rather than leads, so WWF would need to actively promote their framing of climate
This document provides an overview of key concepts and theorists in media theory, organized into four sections: media language, media representation, media industries, and media audiences. In media language, it discusses concepts from semiotics, narratology, genre theory, structuralism, and postmodernism. In media representation, it outlines theories around representation, identity, gender, ethnicity and postcolonialism. It then covers theories relating to power and regulation in media industries, and effects, cultivation, reception and audience theories for media audiences. The document is intended as a study guide or reference tool for understanding important ideas and thinkers in media theory.
This document discusses several key ideas and debates within the human sciences. It compares the human sciences, history, and natural sciences, noting that while human sciences seek generalizations like the natural sciences, studying humans is more complex due to changing societies and individuals. It also discusses the debate between naturalist and interpretivist approaches, and some of the challenges of achieving certainty in the human sciences, such as the complexity of human behavior and societies. Key ideas discussed in more depth include the distinction between correlation and causation, the concept of path dependence, the nature vs nurture debate, and issues around determinism and free will.
1. The document defines social sciences as the systematic study of various aspects of society and social phenomena and their impacts on people's lives. It examines how social sciences relate to and study society.
2. Social sciences have two main elements - society, which focuses on individuals and social issues, and empirical analysis, which takes a scientific approach to studying human behavior and relationships.
3. The document outlines the history and development of social sciences and compares them to natural sciences and humanities. It discusses how each area can be applied to daily life.
The document discusses the history and development of media studies as an interdisciplinary field that draws from areas like the humanities, social sciences, and professions. It provides an overview of key figures, theories, and landmark studies that helped shape the field. It also examines ongoing debates around defining the boundaries and subject matter of media studies and how it relates to other disciplines.
The Return of Ideology? Rethinking the Open Society #oer17Robert Farrow
ย
Slides for a presentation given at the OER17 conference in London, 5th April 2017. Abstract at https://oer17.oerconf.org/sessions/the-return-of-ideology-rethinking-the-open-society-1520/.
The Reception Theory proposed by Stuart Hall suggests that audiences can respond to media messages in three ways - preferred, negotiated, or oppositional. A preferred response means fully agreeing with the encoded message. An oppositional response means fully disagreeing. A negotiated response agrees with some aspects but disagrees with others, taking a middle position. The theory sees audiences as active in determining their own response, based on factors like their views, experiences, and demographics. Critics say encoded messages can sometimes be misunderstood, potentially causing problems. As an example, online comments on a news article show preferred, oppositional, and negotiated responses to the writer's opinions.
Educational Attainment and Social ClassCraig Hammond
ย
Poorer children often do not attain as well as richer children in education for several reasons:
1) Linguistic and cultural differences according to Basil Bernstein, as poorer children often use restricted codes while education favors elaborated codes of middle-class children.
2) Poorer children have less cultural and social capital according to Bourdieu, impacting their cultural environment and identity formation.

This document provides guidance on structuring and writing a good essay. It recommends including a title, introduction with an overview and definitions, multiple body paragraphs with a topic sentence and supporting details in each, and a conclusion that summarizes the essay and links back to the introduction. Each paragraph should focus on a single theme or topic. The introduction should explain the topic and key terms, while body paragraphs should support and explain the essay question using organized, reader-friendly paragraphs. The conclusion restates the main points and ties directly back to the opening.

The document examines the claim that fear provides order in the international arena. It discusses concepts from Habermas like rational argument, freedom of expression, consent, and democracy as alternative mechanisms for establishing order. The document also analyzes Habermas' ideas about rational discourse being established through democratic freedom and the ability of reason to evolve universal laws and norms. It notes Habermas' "rules" for discourse ethics and considers whether power and unpredictability challenge order. The key question is whether fear alone establishes international order or if other factors also contribute to order.

This document provides guidance for students on evaluating the claim that personal identity changes as a result of acts of identification. It discusses defining identification as imagining oneself in another's place. It suggests considering how one's own identity is shaped through identification and influences. The document prompts students to think about theoretical frameworks from their course that could be used to explore personal identity development and how identities are shaped, such as theories from Michel Foucault, Howard Becker, and others. It concludes by asking students to consider how they might structure their essay response.

ย
DD101 TMA04 2014 presentation on Michel Foucault in relation to the TMA question: 'Compare and contrast two social science views about the ordering of social life'
This document discusses the concept of hope and utopian ideals in various creative works such as films and stories. It references philosophers like Ernst Bloch who argued that popular culture can contain "utopian material" that sparks personal longing for transformed scenarios. While specific films may not overtly portray utopias, they can create "utopian hints" that provide glimpses of escape from everyday life. The document also suggests that the memories and interpretations of creative works are personal and can represent different utopian ideas beyond just the direct content. Overall, it examines how hope and visions of improved possibilities are embedded in and inspired by cultural works on both conscious and subconscious levels.
The document discusses the evolution of punishment and criminal justice systems from medieval times through the Enlightenment period. It mentions that in medieval times, torture and the Bloody Code were used to punish criminals, potentially influenced by religion. It then discusses changing views during the Enlightenment, including the introduction of the Panopticon prison model which aimed to rehabilitate criminals through discipline and surveillance.
Roland Barthes: Empowering the Creative 'Subject'Craig Hammond
ย
Roland Barthes developed theories around the "death of the author" and the idea that meaning in a text is not defined by authorial intent but rather by each individual reader. He introduced concepts of studium and punctum in photographic analysis, where studium represents general cultural understanding and punctum is a deeper personal response. Barthes also explored the idea of multiple meanings in films, including an obtuse "third meaning" that cannot be fully represented or described through traditional analysis.

This document outlines an argument that rubbish is not worthless by discussing the works of Zygmunt Bauman and Thorstein Veblen. It explains that Bauman argues modern society is organized around consumption rather than production and that individual freedom has become based on consumption. It also introduces Thompson's rubbish theory and asks for examples of artifacts transitioning from transient to rubbish to re-valued categories.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
ย
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
ย
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
