Playing with Time in Digital Fiction
2015
The exceptional quality of digital fictions lies in their inherently dynamic nature, how they may be flexibly programmed to generate new content and alter the already existing contents. This adds a new temporal level, compared to traditional fictions. Digital games, especially, incorporate aspects of simulation and narration in their structure. As interactive and dynamic media form, games are specifically temporal in nature. They offer us the flexibility and preciseness of digital simulations, with the potential of psychologically engaging narrative qualities, which together open up a whole new field of experimenting with temporally dynamic media. Much of the new media fictions partake in a…
The shape of eParticipation:Characterizing an emerging research area
2008
Author's version of an article published in Government Information Quarterly, 25 (2008), 400-428. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.giq.2007.04.007 The phenomenon of eParticipation is receiving increasing attention, demonstrated by recent technology implementations, experiments, government reports, and research programs. Understanding such an emerging field is a complex endeavor because there is no generally agreed upon definition of the field, no clear overview of the research disciplines or methods it draws upon, and because the boundaries of the field are undecided. Using conventional literature review techniques, we identify 131 scientific articles consid…
Uses and Abuses of Creativity. Sociology of creative processes, transitions to digital and creative policies
2017
Creativity is a notion awakening growing interest in the social sciences. This attention mirrors the debate on the potential economic and social development of creativity as a skill, profession or industry. However, there is also rising critical interpretation of the abuse of this concept, exploited to legitimize the hasty digitization of the cultural field, and of the instrumentalization of culture in pursuit of economic interests. This article is grounded on the contributions of numerous sociologists (Bourdieu, Collins and Menger) in an attempt to reconsider the conditions under which creativity develops, and examine how the framework of digitalization and instrumentalization is shifting …

Emotional Dimensions of User Experience ? A User Psychological Analysis
2014
User psychology is a human–technology interaction research approach that uses psychological concepts, theories, and findings to structure problems of human–technology interaction. As the notion of user experience has become central in human–technology interaction research and in product development, it is necessary to investigate the user psychology of user experience. This analysis of emotional human–technology interaction is based on the psychological theory of basic emotions. Three studies, two laboratory experiments, and one field study are used to investigate the basic emotions and the emotional mind involved in user experience. The first and second experiments study the measurement of…
Social Networks as an Approach to Systematic review
2019
Whether we are in the process of designing a new empirical study or our interest lies in conducting a review study, a solid literature review is needed to acquire an accurate idea of the current state of affairs with regard to a phenomenon of interest. Even if we can find contributions to the literature by entering keywords in search engines, we need tools that can help us to structure all the contributions encountered in terms of their interrelations and impact. This article presents social network analysis as such a tool. Although social network analysis is commonly thought of as a method in a particular empirical study, where individuals and groups of participants are studied, we can vie…
Simplex selves, functional synergies, and selving: Languaging in a complex world
2019
Abstract In this paper, I present selves as simplex structures (Berthoz, 2012/2009) that construct themselves and are constructed in and through the embodied socio-cognitive dynamics of ‘selving’. Selves are, following Vygotsky (1986 : 59–73; see also Ratner, 2017), individuations and crystallisations of the concrete social relations in which the self has participated along its life-trajectory. Selving arises and takes place in dialogically coordinated languaging activity. In complex social and cultural worlds, simplex selves-in-languaging constitute and stabilise their own and others' experience and living bodies in and through norm saturated languaging. Thus, while human subjectivity is f…
Voice and authorial body in Juana Manso
2021
El estilo de Juana Manso fue calificado por Sarmiento como «escandaloso». Esa manera inequívoca de presentarse públicamente delimitó desde entonces un modo de existencia, de circulación y de funcionamiento de su figura autorial en el campo cultural argentino de mediados de siglo XIX. Este artículo se propone rastrear esta singular «puesta en escena» de la escritora como un dispositivo de enunciación que no se limita a sus textos, en la doble dimensión que ocupa, como autora y como actora de ese campo. ¿Cómo se construye, en esta puesta escena, su voz y su imagen?, ¿Cómo se difunde ese cuerpo de autora? En la conjunción de género y profesión, la función-Manso se concreta en un tono de escrit…
The Importance of Teaching Quality of Life Theory and Methodology in Social Sciences Programs
2019
We define quality of life as a multi-dimensional concept which involves a number of domains which people experience in diverse forms according to the importance attributed to them in their lives, considering their expectations, their values, and their experiences. Teaching theory, methodology and practice in quality of life implies the possibility of integrating the objective and subjective dimensions, considering that subjectivity is constructed on the basis of the daily interaction of the persons as well as their interaction with their environment. In this respect, the act of teaching is also a political act, which leads us to consider that the role of politics should not only be restrict…
