Enabling openness of valuable information resources: Curbing data subtractability and exclusion
2019
In this paper we investigate how data openness can be made possible in communal settings. We adopt a utility perspective that foregrounds the use value of data, conceptualizing them as “goods.” On the basis of this conceptualization we explore 2 key goods' attributes: subtractability and exclusion. Our theoretical basis is built upon concepts from the theory of the commons, power theorizing, and notions related to data and information. Empirically, we investigate openness in the genetics domain through a longitudinal study of the evolving communal infrastructure for data related to 2 genes influencing women's susceptibility to breast and ovarian cancer (BRCA1 and BRCA2). We follow the conti…
‘Brittle Bone Disease’ and Physical Education. An experience of simulation and imagination toward inclusion
2016
La inclusion educativa reporta cada vez mas situaciones en las que se evidencia la necesidad de concretar propuestas especificas, como la inclusion de alumnado con Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) en Educacion Fisica.

También se trazan los principales retos y perspectivas metodológicas y temáticas de futuro. El artículo final…
Towards a sociology of the mobile phone
2005
Use of the mobile phone is an immensely significant social and cultural phenomenon. However, market hype and utopian dreams greatly exaggerate its importance. The fundamental issue for sociology is the process of change. Bound up with contemporary issues of change, the mobile phone is a prime object for sociological attention both at the macro and micro levels of analysis. This article considers the strengths and weaknesses of four methods for studying the sociality of the mobile phone (social demography; political economy; conversation, discourse and text analysis; and ethnography), the different kinds of knowledge they produce, and the interests they represent. Recent ethnographic researc…
