Impact of Status and Meme Content on the Spread of Memes in Virtual Communities

2015

We examined the influence of meme consistency (vs. inconsistency) and intragroup status on the spread of memes in virtual communities. Prior research suggests that information consistent with the theme of the group is remembered better and that ideas threatening to the group identity are rejected. In addition, previous research shows that low-status group members mimic high-status members and communicate with them to seek information and approval. We analyzed social interactions among members of four online forums from January 1, 2010, to February 21, 2014. Contrary to our prediction, our results show that memes initiated by low-status members spread faster than memes started by high- or mo…

Fluent Speakers of a Second Language Process Graspable Nouns Expressed in L2 Like in Their Native Language

2017

According to embodied cognition, language processing relies on the same neural structures involved when individuals experience the content of language material. If so, processing nouns expressing a motor content presented in a second language should modulate the motor system as if presented in the mother tongue. We tested this hypothesis using a go-no go paradigm. Stimuli included English nouns and pictures depicting either graspable or non-graspable objects. Pseudo-words and scrambled images served as controls. Italian participants, fluent speakers of English as a second language, had to respond when the stimulus was sensitive and refrain from responding when it was not. As foreseen by emb…

Sciences, techniques et société : recherches sur les technologies digitales.

2015

Actes partiels du XIXe congrès de la Société française des sciences de l'information et de la communication, Université de Toulon, juin 2014; International audience; La rencontre de l'informatique et de la connectique a ouvert d'immenses perspectives. L'ouvrage met en évidence les capacités des sciences de l'information et de la communication à penser le rapport des technologies digitales à la société. Les technologies s'inscrivent dans des rapports de pouvoir déjà existants; au final, elles servent à accroître la puissance des puissants, mais néanmoins dans leurs marges permettent aussi à l'expression de nouvelles formes de créativité, de sociabilité et de citoyenneté.

TeamLab : au-delà de quelles limites ? Le numérique à la portée des publics

2019

L’article va étudier l’exposition « TeamLab : au-delà des limites », qui s’est déroulée à la Halle de la Villette à Paris du 15 mai au 9 septembre 2018. Il s’agit de mettre en évidence les nouveaux usages et les expériences induits au visiteur par cette exposition temporaire qualifiée d’immersive entièrement construite sur des outils numériques. Peut-on encore parler d’exposition ? L’emploi d’interfaces conviviales permet-il de dépasser les barrières culturelles et valoriser le pays mis à l’honneur dans ce parcours exploratoire : le Japon ? This text intends to study the « TeamLab : beyond the limits » exhibition which took place at the Halle de la Villette in Paris from 15 May to 9 Septemb…

Yves aux trésors – « Mon petit cabinet de curiosité »

2022

Dans sa forme monumentale, Critique de la trivialité se présente non seulementcomme un volume mais comme un objet protéiforme, jouant avec les genres et multipliant les modes d’entrée. Au moment de valider certains choix éditoriaux avec Elodie Boyer (Éditions Non Standard), Yves ne cache pas son bonheur de pouvoir ouvrir, à travers figures et objets, son « cabinet de curiosité personnel » et de nous faire entrer dans la chambre claire de la vie triviale d’objets gardés comme des « trésors ». Ce geste inédit parmi toutes les œuvres, invite à partager l’intimité des choses, dans leur pouvoir quasi totémique de figuration et d’incarnation. Traces de vie, figures de mémoires, forme album si chè…

Managing collapsed boundaries in global work

2023

Global workers have long contended with the challenges of working across geographical, temporal, and cultural boundaries enabled by communication technologies. However, the global work research has rarely intersected with the literature on work–home boundary management—which has been brought to the forefront due to the forced move to remote work during the Covid-19 pandemic. Drawing on a qualitative field study of 55 in-depth interviews with global workers from a large organization headquartered in the Nordics, we found that global workers drew on sociomaterial affordances to manage both global work and work–home boundaries through strategies of boundary support and boundary collapse. Altho…

Model based design of electro-hydraulic motion control systems for offshore pipe handling equipment

2014

Doktorgradsavhandling i mekatronikk, Universitetet i Agder, 2014 Despite the fact that hydraulics, in general, is considered a mature technology, design of hydraulic systems still offers a number of challenges for both component suppliers and manufacturers of hydraulically actuated machines such as offshore pipe handling equipment. This type of equipment is characterized by high price, high level of system complexity and low production numbers. It requires a great level of skill and experience to develop the equipment and the focus on production and development costs is constantly increasing. Therefore design engineers continuously have to improve their procedures for decision making regard…
