Citizenship and Agency under Neoliberal Global Consumerism: A Search for Informed Democratic Practices/Response to Buschman
Notice bibliographique
Résumé
AbstractThis article situates the ethics of information professionals within its contemporary public and political settings. An information ethics so contextualized can help promote the kinds of democratic and citizenships that are the basis of this special issue of the Journal of Information Ethics. While this paper cannot fully canvas the raised, it can take us some way in balancing our perspective on the political packed inside the goals of an informed, citizenry. It proposes a coherent network of concepts about the political context of the contemporary by mapping its challenges. The article reviews the political and public content of the concepts of and globalization, citizen and citizenship, and discusses the implied agency of the informed citizen. It concludes with a discussion that draws out some of the broad responses to these contexts.The call for papers for the Information Ethics Roundtable 20i4 conference describes citizenship as the possession of knowledges, skills and attitudes that make it possible ... to be actively involved in local, national and institutions and systems that directly or indirectly affect their lives (University of Alberta, 20i4). Within this statement lie a number of political concepts that call for investigation. For instance, as Murdock and Golding note, citizenship is no longer simply about participation in the political process, but includes debate and that contributes to conditions that allow people to become full members of the society at every level (i989, p. i82). Agency is thus implied, pointing to ideas about informed ethical responsibility and the act of democratic citizenship. The statement is thus deeply entangled with information ethics. Since the scholarly enterprise of information ethics intersects with democratic politics, it is productive to unpack the meaning of these key concepts and their political context. This will not be an exercise in political philosophy (pondering the definition and relationship between concepts like order and power) but an examination in the practical vein of democratic theory where issues are addressed because of their public importance [in an] attempt to compose a coherent network of concepts in order to analyze what is going on in the contemporary world (Wolin, 2004, p. 504). These concepts are always articulated within pragmatic and contentious political contexts (Mara, 2008, p. 2i). This article is thus an exercise in proposing a coherent network of concepts about the political context of the contemporary in order to foster a potential form of informed agency in a context. This will be accomplished by mapping its challenges through constructing a rough pragmatic resemblance to immediate reality that any analysis must have if it is to be translated into successful political strategy or (Hofstadter, i948, p. ii4). In this spirit, this article reviews the political content of the concepts of and globalization, citizen and citizenship, and lastly the implied agency of the informed citizen. The conclusion will seek to draw out some of the broader challenges and responses to these contexts.On Global and GlobalizationA great deal nests inside these concepts. First, global has come to be both highly significant and meaningless. The concept is decidedly hollow[:] Although the impinges on our local lives, we lack the ability to orient ourselves within it as a space of action (Miller, 20i3, p. 429). This is because the planet-encompassing and deeply compelling of trade and finance, the environment, media and communication, and terror and violence, are primarily linked by globally united financial markets (Brosio, 20i3, p. 276). Appadurai (i998) characterizes globalization's basic ideas:The word globalization ... marks a set of transitions ... since the i970s, in which multinational forms of capitalist organization began to be replaced by transnational, flexible, and irregular forms of organization, as labour, finance, technology, and technological capital began to be assembled in ways that treated national boundaries as mere constraints or fictions [p. …

Prédiction machine sur la base complète
Imitation des enseignantsNi prévalence calibrée, ni vérité terrain. Validation humaine à venir. Le volet Gemma est une étiquette directe du modèle pour chaque travail de la base, lue sur la notice réduite au titre. Le volet Codex est un classifieur appris des 10 348 étiquettes directes de Codex et calibré sur les taux pondérés de l'échantillon; les champs sans appui suffisant ne portent aucun appel Codex. Le mode candidate est l'union des deux volets; le consensus est leur intersection. Ces sorties portent le statut machine_predicted_unvalidated et ne sont pas des étiquettes humaines.
