An introductory lecture in ideological analysis of media, covering works of Marx, Gramsci, Adorno & Horkheimer, Hall, given to BA-1 students at the Erasmus University Rotterdam
Examining Media and Ideology. Our starting point "media and Ideology" chapter from the book Media society: industries, images, and audiences
by David Croteau, William Hoynes.
Based closely on a lecture by Eleanor MacDonald, political scientist at Queen's University this is an introduction to some of the history and ideas behind the philosophy of postmodernism.
One of the revolutionary ideas put forward by Foucault is the various measures of surveillance, to ensure discipline in a society. Such a consented voyeurism always has a panopticon structure. Foucault talks about the age old prison, and how such surveillance structures are employed in other institutions from mental asylums to public schools to ensure discipline. The 184 idea of a big brother watching has gained prominence today with the internet, satellites giving rise to a virtual panopticon today.

Meta-Morphogenesis, Evolution, Cognitive Robotics and Developmental Cognitive...Aaron Sloman
How could a planet, condensed from a cloud of dust, produce minds -- and products of minds, along with microbes, mice, monkeys, mathematics, music, marmite, murder, megalomania, and all other forms and products of life on earth (and possibly elsewhere)?
This presentation introduces the ambitious, multi-disciplinary Meta-Morphogenesis project, partly inspired by Turing's 1952 paper on morphogenesis. It may lead to an answer, by identifying the many transitions between different types and mechanisms of biological information processing, including transitions that changed the mechanisms of change, altering forms of evolution, development, learning, culture and ecosystem dynamics. One of the questions raised is whether chemical information-processing is capable of supporting processes that would be infeasible or impossible on a Turing machine or conventional computer.

For this revision I added some reggae music in my introduction slide. I chose a rhythm from the free source we learned about in week 6. I believe that the chosen music will have a relaxing effect for my audience. Copyright subjects have been a longtime anxiety feeling by many of us. I also liked my funny images in slide 6 and 7 which will also place the atmosphere of the room and my audience in a humorous mood as we learned from Chapter 9 of you SNOOZE they LOSE.
In this the fourth change to my copyright powerpoint I have changed the way I am presenting. I have added mostly pictures to my slides. I kept the advise that we read from chapters 5 through 7. Dr. Burmark identified the ability of recollection in material to be greater if content is placed into images.
Introduction to Computational Social Science - Lecture 1Lauri Eloranta
First lecture of the course CSS01: Introduction to Computational Social Science at the University of Helsinki, Spring 2015. (http://blogs.helsinki.fi/computationalsocialscience/).
Lecturer: Lauri Eloranta
Questions & Comments: https://twitter.com/laurieloranta
This talk is about PLEA, the virtual being and the robot. It is about the vision how PLEA is made and what is her story. She samples its environment to determine how a person feels, and then demonstrates the affection back. She analyses and interprets different sources of social signals from those who interact with to generate hypotheses. Then she produces non-verbal expressions using information visualization techniques. PLEA is a proof-of-concept, and she was presented at many festivals including British Science Festival and Art & AI Festival in Leicester, the UK. At the end of this talk if we are lucky, PLEA would visit the audience from the screen.
Slides from a series of talks for the IET's IoT India Congress and some associated events - SRM Chennai, PES Bengaluru, Srishti Bengaluru. I used different subsets of the slides in each talk - this is the whole deck.
Technology and the outdoors: Some experiential possibilitiesJames Neill
There is a philosophical tension in outdoor education about the role of technology. On the one hand, we strip clients of modern technology and engage them in simple living, adventurous activities in natural environments. On the other hand, there are new experiential learning opportunities available via mobile devices, the internet, and multi-media, etc. How might 21st century technology be used to enhance outdoor education? Possibilities include digital photography, video, audio, maps, blogs, wikis, geocaching, pedometers, and virtual environments. More information: http://wilderdom.com/tech

This presentation, created by Syed Faiz ul Hassan, explores the profound influence of media on public perception and behavior. It delves into the evolution of media from oral traditions to modern digital and social media platforms. Key topics include the role of media in information propagation, socialization, crisis awareness, globalization, and education. The presentation also examines media influence through agenda setting, propaganda, and manipulative techniques used by advertisers and marketers. Furthermore, it highlights the impact of surveillance enabled by media technologies on personal behavior and preferences. Through this comprehensive overview, the presentation aims to shed light on how media shapes collective consciousness and public opinion.

0x01 - Newton's Third Law: Static vs. Dynamic AbusersOWASP Beja
f you offer a service on the web, odds are that someone will abuse it. Be it an API, a SaaS, a PaaS, or even a static website, someone somewhere will try to figure out a way to use it to their own needs. In this talk we'll compare measures that are effective against static attackers and how to battle a dynamic attacker who adapts to your counter-measures.

2. Bruno Latour
● French sociologist and philosopher
● Science & Technology Studies (STS)
● Creator of ANT
● School of post-structuralism
● www.bruno-latour.fr
Introduction into Actor Network Theory 10th of June 2013
3. „Social constructionism explores the ways how social
reality and single phenomenons are constructed.
...how people create social phenomena, institutionalize
it and propagate it to new generations through
traditions.“ – Wikipedia
● Post-structuralism: language isn't only describing
reality, it is creating reality
● Use in Gender Studies & Cultural Studies
● ANT brings this into Social Science
Introduction into Actor Network Theory 10th of June 2013
Social constructionism
4. Actor Network Theory
● More method or practice
● Since the 80s
● Qualitative
● Used to explain scientific and technological
innovation, now used in other fields too
● Use of human vocabulary for technical and natural
phenomena => neutral language
● Focus on observations, tries to ignore preexisting
(constructed) knowledge at the beginning
Introduction into Actor Network Theory 10th of June 2013
5. „Explanans“ and „Explananda“
Explanans:
(L) Every time, when a fiber with the strength r is stressed with
the weight K, the fiber tears.
(C1) This is a fiber with the strength r.
(C2) The attached weight is
minimum K.
Explananda:
(E) The fiber tears.
– Example by Karl Popper from WIkipedia
Introduction into Actor Network Theory 10th of June 2013
6. Diversity and Integrity
„One argument is, that social innovation are forms
of connections between heterogeneous networks.
The other, that human society, nature and
technology are admixed in a way, that it is not
possible to understand one side without the other
in any social studies.“
– Ingo Schulz-Schaeffer, 2000: 208
Introduction into Actor Network Theory 10th of June 2013
7. Explaining through networks
Why? → Activity- and structure-oriented observations
How? → Combination of two perspectives:
1: the observer follows the actants, to find out how they
define and connect different things to explain the world.
2: the observer follows the translations, through which the
actants are defined
→ change steadily between those two perspectives
Introduction into Actor Network Theory 10th of June 2013
8. Symmetry
Ideas of asymmetry:
● Object / Subject
● Society and Technology
● Society and Nature
→ Determinism
ANT tries symmetry
● of actants (actors): no presupposed characteristics of actants -
social, natural or technological
● of vocabulary: use of human vocabulary for technical and
natural things → neutral language
Introduction into Actor Network Theory 10th of June 2013
9. Case study
Problem of keeping doors closed
1)No door closer
2)Doorman
3)Automatic door closer
4)Add hydraulic ram
5)Sensor controlled
“Those door closers play the role of a very coarse,
illiterate and relatively dull doorman“ (Latour 1996a: 68)
Introduction into Actor Network Theory 10th of June 2013
10. Critics
● Also in ANT there is social construction
● Real problems are hard
● „Everything is connected with everything
somehow“ → sociotheoretical holism is as true
in his universality as it is uninteresting
