The document discusses Gerard Goggin's "circuit of culture" approach for understanding cell phone culture. It proposes that culture constitutes the social world and is necessary for understanding social practices. The production of social meaning is a precondition for how social practices work. Cultural analysis is crucial for sociological knowledge. The document also discusses Stuart Hall's theory of articulation and how cultural forms and practices are appropriated by social classes.

What Is Cultural Semiotics
Cultural semiotics is a holistic approach to understanding how culture generates new meanings. It views culture as a complex system of interconnected meanings called a "semiosphere" by Yuri Lotman. The semiosphere facilitates the exchange of meanings across space and time within a permeable boundary. Lotman saw the semiosphere both as the space where meaning occurs and as a participant in an ongoing dialogue that establishes shared meanings and generates new meanings for culture over time through cultural memory.
Newhierarchies intro
The ascendance of information industries and a global economy have contributed to new hierarchies and a displacement of economic significance between cities. Politics and systems of order often perform with linear authority, which can lead to limitation, while parallel informal networks are not as easily recognized. Weak connections between loosely organized voices can interconnect into strong movements able to overturn hierarchical power structures. Rhizomatic systems connect any point to any other in complex webs rather than tree structures, challenging traditional hierarchical validation and opening new encounters and priorities.
Semiotics (Lit Crit)
Charles Sanders Peirce was an American philosopher who is considered the founder of semiotics, the study of signs and symbols. He defined semiosis as the triadic relationship between an object, sign, and interpretant. Ferdinand de Saussure was another founder of semiotics who proposed that signs are composed of a signifier and signified. Semiotics is the study of meaning-making and sign processes in communications. It examines both linguistic and non-linguistic sign systems. To critique using semiotics, one analyzes a text as a system of signs and their relationships to understand the meanings conveyed.
Semiology and archtecture synosis 2
Charles Jencks' book "Semiology and Architecture" differentiates post-modernism from modernism by translating the study of language and literature into architecture using semiotics, the study of signs and symbols. Jencks introduces the idea that everything has an ambiguous meaning, not just objects but language itself. He also presents the semiological triangle of percept-concept-representation to show how language, thought, and reality interact. Jencks argues that the meaning of words and symbols can be multivalent and open to various interpretations depending on context and culture.
ordinary lives introduction - highmore
This document provides an introduction and overview of the book "Ordinary Lives" by Ben Highmore. It discusses three main themes explored in the book: aesthetics, humanism, and intimacy in everyday life. For aesthetics, the everyday involves emotional responses shaped by external sensations and perceptions rather than internal states. For humanism, the book adopts a view of being human that questions human nature without seeking definitive answers. For intimacy, everyday life involves close material and sensory experiences as well as a complex intermingling of private and public through modern media. The book aims to aesthetically map ordinary objects, explain the structuring of time, discuss media as distraction, and consider the political dimensions of everyday aesthetics.
Culture Text
The document discusses Lotman's approach to developing a cultural typology and analyzing culture texts. Lotman aims to create a uniform metalanguage system that allows examination of particular cultures while also identifying cultural universals. This would provide a means of studying cultures from the perspective of shared structures and comprehending cultural texts as a single, organized system. Key aspects of Lotman's approach include describing cultures using spatial models and considering how cultural models relate to culture texts and sign systems.

Use+V.+Integration[1]
Technology integration involves incorporating technology resources and practices into daily routines and management of schools to improve learning and facilitate alternative assessment methods. It requires learners to think critically about the subject matter using tools like databases, semantic networking and dynamic modeling. Technology use is simply using devices without analysis, problem solving or critical thinking. The goal of integration is to prepare students for the 21st century by engaging them in critical thinking using tools that help learning in a deeper way.

While technology use and technology integration are similar, they are not the same. Technology use refers to using tools like computers, cameras and software for tasks, while technology integration involves incorporating technology resources and practices into daily classroom routines and management. Some examples of technology integration include interactive whiteboards, blogging, and video conferencing, while technology use examples are creating works, interacting online, and conducting research using digital tools. Both technology use and integration are important for teachers and students, but have distinct definitions.

This document discusses the terms modernism and postmodernism. It begins by noting that postmodernism is a difficult term to define as it appears across many disciplines and time periods. It then explains that postmodernism emerged from modernism. Modernism rejected Victorian artistic standards and emphasized subjectivity, fragmented forms, and self-consciousness. Postmodernism similarly rejects boundaries and embraces fragmentation, but does not see fragmentation as tragic like modernism. It also celebrates nonsense rather than trying to find meaning through art. The document later discusses how modernism and postmodernism relate to different phases of capitalism.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SOCIAL STUDIES AND SOCIAL SCIENCE.pptx
Social science refers to the systematic study of human society and social relationships through disciplines like economics, history, geography, political science, and sociology using scientific methods. Social studies applies social science disciplines to promote civic competence and effective citizenship through a multidisciplinary approach. While social science focuses on building theoretical knowledge, social studies emphasizes using that knowledge to help students understand issues and make reasoned decisions as citizens. Both aim to provide insights into human behavior and interactions within societies over time but social studies specifically targets understanding the past and present interactions between individuals, groups, systems and institutions.

This document discusses how arts education can contribute to sustainability. It proposes a model called TAL (Transdisciplinarity, Action-Research, Literacy) to foster a reform of thought. Specifically, it advocates for:
1) Developing an ecological literacy focused on resilience, diversity and dynamic balance in nature.
2) Cultivating a literacy of complexity centered around dia-logical thinking, eco-auto-organization, and autoecopoiesis.
3) Using action-research methodology to build complementarity between arts and sciences and develop multi-leveled reflexivity.

The top themes included cultural identity, cultural differences, cultural learning, and the role of context like cultural environment, globalization, and media in shaping cultural identity. Over a third of presentations discussed aspects of cultural identity, showing it is a core theme in analyzing identity and intercultural communication.
rhetoric, images and the language of seeing
This document discusses rhetoric and communication theories. It provides an overview of different traditions in the field of communication studies, including cybernetics, phenomenology, sociocultural studies, semiotics, and rhetoric. Rhetoric is broadly defined as human symbol use and the process of adjusting ideas and people through messages. The five canons of rhetoric from ancient Greece - invention, arrangement, style, delivery, and memory - are examined and given contemporary interpretations related to conceptualization, organization, meaning assignment, relationships, context, interpretation, and cultural memory. The document then discusses images and photography, how photographs capture meaning and have their own symbolic language and rhetoric.
Social semiotics
This document discusses social semiotics as an analytical perspective for understanding everyday objects and their meanings. It explains key concepts in social semiotics, comparing it to structural semiotics. Social semiotics examines how people use signs and make meaning in social contexts, focusing on situated practices rather than abstract structures. It explores dimensions of social semiotic analysis like discourse, genre, style and modality. Research in this area looks at semiotic resources, rules, and transformations over time and across contexts.
Antonescu 1.2014 CULTURAL GLOBALISATION (2)
This document discusses cultural globalization at the beginning of the 21st century.

Cultural globalization represents various forms of connecting cultures globally and establishing different types of relationships between world cultures. The document examines concepts of culture, civilization, and values in understanding cultural globalization.
About Memory A Study In The Work Of Clive Rundle
This document provides an overview and introduction to a research study on fashion and memory. It discusses frameworks for studying notions of memory in creative works, including art that references past events. It focuses on an analysis of the fashion design work of South African designer Clive Rundle to explore evidence of history and memory. The study aims to contribute to the academic discourse on South African fashion by providing an in-depth case study of Rundle's work and investigating conceptual and material traces of memory within his designs. It discusses theories of memory in objects and how fashion can negotiate the present while referencing the past.
Culture and society
Moyra Haslett argues that Marxist literary and cultural theories focus on the relationship between literature, culture, and society. Literature represents culture, which is shaped by social and economic factors. Marxist theories distinguish between the economic base and cultural superstructure, though they influence each other. Cultural artifacts are material products subject to social and economic conditions of production, distribution, and consumption. Marxists view language as a social system that reflects material practices and class relations.
StructureAndCulture
This document summarizes Stuart Hall's critique of two paradigms in cultural studies - a "culturalist" strand and a "structuralist" strand. Hall sees both paradigms as having strengths and weaknesses. The author of this document then provides their own critique, arguing that both paradigms risk dualism by separating social consciousness from social conditions. The author proposes an alternative view that sees social structure as pre-existing for individuals but incarnate in human activity, avoiding dualism while recognizing the role of both social structures and human agency.
Autobiographical Narrative
This document summarizes a conference paper that explores identity construction processes in autobiographical narratives in relation to gender and race. It proposes a model to analyze how narrators use tense shifts between past narration and present reflection to construct and evaluate their evolving identity on individual, relational, and collective levels. The model is applied to analyses two autobiographical speeches - one by a former female slave and one by a Lebanese author - to examine how social constructs like gender and race are enacted through language in narratives.
Contending visions ch 6
This document discusses Edward Said's concept of Orientalism and its influence. It summarizes that Orientalism referred to the way Western thinkers depicted Eastern cultures as inherently different and lesser. This view supported Western domination. It also discusses how Michel Foucault and theories of discourse and power relations influenced Said. Representing other cultures accurately is problematic, as all perspectives involve misrepresentation to some degree.

This document summarizes an article about how law school admissions processes have become "metacultural" - they define what kind of person one should be to get into law school, and spread this definition globally. It argues that admissions essays exemplify a "metaculture of innovation" that emphasizes continual self-improvement. Foreign applicants learn to present themselves in ways that fit this model, focusing on markers of personal worth. The process reflects neoliberal ideals of individualism and universal standards of evaluation.

Power Grid Model
The global energy transition is placing new and unprecedented demands on Distribution System Operators (DSOs). Alongside upgrades to grid capacity, processes such as digitization, capacity optimization, and congestion management are becoming vital for delivering reliable services.
Power Grid Model is an open source project from Linux Foundation Energy and provides a calculation engine that is increasingly essential for DSOs. It offers a standards-based foundation enabling real-time power systems analysis, simulations of electrical power grids, and sophisticated what-if analysis. In addition, it enables in-depth studies and analysis of the electrical power grid’s behavior and performance. This comprehensive model incorporates essential factors such as power generation capacity, electrical losses, voltage levels, power flows, and system stability.
Power Grid Model is currently being applied in a wide variety of use cases, including grid planning, expansion, reliability, and congestion studies. It can also help in analyzing the impact of renewable energy integration, assessing the effects of disturbances or faults, and developing strategies for grid control and optimization.
What to expect
For the upcoming meetup we are organizing, we have an exciting lineup of activities planned:
-Insightful presentations covering two practical applications of the Power Grid Model.
-An update on the latest advancements in Power Grid -Model technology during the first and second quarters of 2024.
-An interactive brainstorming session to discuss and propose new feature requests.
-An opportunity to connect with fellow Power Grid Model enthusiasts and users.
