Hello Interactors,Watching all the transnational love at the Olympics has been inspiring. We're all forced to think about nationalities, borders, ethnicities, and all the flavors of behavioral geography it entails. After all, these athletes are all there representing their so-called “homeland.” And in the case of Alysa Liu, her father's escape from his. Between the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre and the fall of the Berlin wall, “homeland” took on new meaning for many immigrants. This all took me back to that time and the start of my own journey at Microsoft at the dawn of a new global reality.HOMELAND HATCHED HEREWith all the focus on Olympics and immigration recently, I've found myself reflecting on my days at Microsoft in the 90s. As the company was growing (really fast), teams were filling up with people recruited from around the world. There were new accents in meetings, new holidays to celebrate, and yummy new foods and funny new words being introduced. This thickening of transnational ties made Redmond feel as connected the rest of the world as the globalized software we were building. By 2000 users around the world could switch between over 60 languages in Windows and Office. In behavioral geography terms, working on the product and using the product made “here” feel more connected to “elsewhere.”This influx of new talent was all enabled by the Immigration Act of 1990. Signed by George H. W. Bush, it increased and stabilized legal pathways for highly skilled immigrants. This continued with Clinton era decisions to expand H-1B visa allocations that fed the tech hiring boom. I took full advantage of this allotment recruiting and hiring interaction designers and user researchers from around the world. In the same decade the federal government expanded access to the United States, it also tightened security. Terrorism threats, especially after the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, spooked everyone. Despite this threat, there was more domestic initiated terrorism than outside foreign attacks. The decade saw deadly incidents like the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995 by radicalized by white supremacist anti-government terrorists, which killed 168 and injured hundreds, making it the deadliest terrorist attack in U.S. history before 9/11.A year later, the Atlanta Olympic bombing and related bombings by anti-government Christian extremists caused multiple deaths and injuries. Clinic bombings and shootings by anti-abortion extremists began in 1994 with the Brookline clinic shootings and continued through the 1998 Birmingham clinic bombing. These inspired more arsons, bombings, and shootings tied to white supremacist, anti-abortion, and other extreme ideologies.Still, haven been shocked by Islamist extremists in 1993 (and growing Islamic jihadist plots outside the U.S.) the federal government adopted new security language centered on protecting the “homeland” from outside incursions. In 1998, Clinton signed Presidential Decision Directive 62, titled “Protection Against Unconventional Threats to the Homeland and Americans Overseas,” a serious counterterrorism document whose title quietly normalized the term homeland inside executive governance.But there was at least one critical voice. Steven Simon, Clinton's senior director for counterterrorism on the National Security Council, didn't think “Defense of the Homeland” belonged in a presidential directive.Simon's retrospective argument is that “homeland” did more than name a policy, it brought a territorial logic of legitimacy that the American constitution had historically resisted. He recalls the phrase “Defense of the Homeland” felt “faintly illiberal, even un-American.” The United States historically grounded constitutional legitimacy in civic and legal abstractions (people, union, republic, human rights) rather than blood rights or rights to soil. Membership was to be mediated by institutions, employment, and law rather than ancestry.“Homeland” serves as a powerful cue that suggests a mental model of ‘home' and expands it to encompass a nation. This model is accompanied by a set of spatial inferences that evoke familiarity, appeal, and even an intuitive sense. However, it also creates a sense of a confined interior that can be breached by someone from outside.This is rooted in place attachment that can be defined as an affective bond between people and places — an emotional tie that can anchor identity and responsibility. But attachment is not the same thing as ownership. Research on collective psychological ownership shows how groups can come to experience a territory as “ours.” This creates a sense of ownership that can be linked to a perceived determination right. Here, the ingroup is entitled to decide what happens in that place while sometimes feeding a desire to exclude outsiders. When the word “homeland” was placed at the center of statecraft it primed public reasoning from attachment of place through care, stewardship, and shared fate toward property ownership through control, gatekeeping, and exclusion. It turns belonging into something closer to a property claim.What makes the 1990s especially instructive from a geography perspective is that “access” itself was being administered through institutions that are intensely spatial: consulates, ports of entry, employer locations, housing markets, and the micro-geographies of office life. The H-1B expansions was not simply generosity, but a form of managed throughput in a system designed to meet labor demand. And it was paired with political assurances about enforcement and domestic worker protections.Mid-decade legal reforms strengthened enforcement by authorities in significant ways. Mechanisms for faster removals and stricter interior enforcement reinforced the idea that the state could act more decisively within the national space. The federal government found ways to expand legal channels that served economic objectives while also building a governance style increasingly comfortable with interior control. “Homeland” helped supply the conceptual bridge that made that socioeconomic coexistence feel coherent.It continues to encourage a politics of boundary maintenance that determines who counts as inside, what kinds of movement are legible as normal, and which bodies are perpetually “out of place.” If the defended object is a republic, the default language justification is legal and civic. If the defended object is a homeland, the language jurisdiction becomes territorial and affective. That shift changes what restrictions, surveillance practices, and membership tests become thinkable and tolerable over time. HOMELAND'S HOHFELDIAN HARNESSIf “homeland” structures a place of belonging, then “rights” are the legal grammar that tells us what may be done in that place. The trouble is that “rights” are often treated as moral abstract objects floating above context. Legally, they are structured relations among people, institutions, and things. But “rights” can take on a variety of meanings.Wesley Hohfeld, the Yale law professor who pioneered analytical jurisprudence in the early 20th century, argued that many legal disputes persist because the word “right” is used ambiguously.He distinguished four basic “incidents” for rights: claim, privilege (liberty), power, and immunity. Each is paired with a position correlating to another party: duty, no-claim (no-right), liability, and disability. When the police pull you over for speeding you hold a privilege to drive at or below the speed limit (say, 40 mph). The state has no-right to demand you stop for going exactly 40 mph. But if you're clocked at 50 mph, the officer enforces your no-right to exceed the limit which correlates to the state's claim-right. You have a duty to comply by pulling over. If the officer then has power to issue a ticket, you face a liability to have your driving privilege altered (e.g., fined). But you also enjoy an immunity from arbitrary arrest without probable cause.Let's apply that to “homeland” security.If a politician says we must “defend the homeland,” it can mean at least four different things legally:* Claim-Rights: Citizens can demand that the government protect them (e.g., from attacks). Officials have the duty to act — think TSA screening or border patrol.​* Privileges: Federal Agents get freedoms to act without legal blocks, such as stopping and questioning people in so-called high-risk zones, while bystanders have no-right to interfere.​* Powers: Federal Agencies hold authority to change your legal status. For example, they can label you a watchlist risk (e.g., you become a liability). This can then lead to loss of liberties like travel bans, detentions, or asset freezes.​* Immunities: Federal Officials or programs shield themselves from lawsuits (via qualified immunity or classified data rules), effectively blocking citizens' ability to sue.Forget whether these are legitimate or illegitimate, Hohfeld's point is they are different forms of rights — and each has distinct costs. Once “homeland” is the object, the system tends to grow powers and privileges (capacity for overt or covert operations), and to seek immunities (resistance to challenge), often at the expense of others' claim-rights and liberties.Rights are not only relational, but they are also often spatially conditional. The same person can move through zones of legality experiencing different practical rights. Consider border checkpoints, airports, perimeters of government buildings, protest cites, or regions declared “emergency” zones. Government institutions operationalize these spaces as “behavioral geographies” which determines who gets stopped, where scrutiny concentrates, and which movements count as suspicious.The state looks past the abstract bearer of unalienable liberties and due process to see only a physical entity whose movements through space dissolve their Constitutional immunities into a series of observable, trackable traces. Those traces become inputs to enforcement. This is what makes surveillance so powerful. “Homeland” governance is especially trace-hungry because it imagines safety as a property of space that must be continuously maintained.But these traces are behavioral cues and human behavior is never neutral. They are interpreted through normalized cultural and institutional schemas about who “belongs” in which places. Place attachment and territorial belonging can become gatekeeping mechanisms. Empirical work on homeland/place attachment links it to identity processes and self-categorization. Related work suggests that collective psychological ownership — “this place is ours” — can predict exclusionary attitudes toward immigrants and outsiders. In legal terms, those social attitudes can translate into pressure to expand state powers and narrow outsiders' claim-rights.A vocabulary rooted in a ‘republic' tends to emphasize rights as universal claims against the state. This is where we get due process, equal protection, and rights to speech and assembly. A homeland vocabulary tends to emphasize rights as statused permissions tied to membership and territory. Here we find rights of citizens, rights at the border, rights in “emergencies”, and rights conditioned on “lawful presence.” The shift makes some restrictions feel like a kind of protecting of the home. Hence the unaffable phrase, “Get off my lawn.”HOMELAND HIERARCHIES HUMBLEDIf the “homeland” is framed as a place-of-belonging and rights are the grammar of that place, then the current crisis of American democracy boils down to a dispute over the nature of equality. This tension is best understood through the long-standing constitutional debate between anticlassification and antisubordination, which dates back to the Reconstruction era. Anticlassification, often called the “colorblind” or “status-blind” approach, holds that the state's duty is simply to avoid explicit categories in its laws. Antisubordination, by contrast, insists that the law must actively dismantle structured group hierarchies and the “caste-like” systems they produce. When the state embraces a “homeland” logic, it leans heavily on anticlassification to mask a deeper reality of spatial subordination.In what we might call the “Theater of Defense,” agencies like the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) increasingly rely on anticlassification principles to justify aggressive interior crackdowns. They frame enforcement as a territorial necessity by protecting the sanctity of the soil itself. A workplace raid or roving patrol, in this view, does not target any specific group. Instead, it simply maintains the “integrity” of the homeland. This reflects what law professor Bradley Areheart and others have described as the “anticlassification turn,” where formal attempts to embody equality end up legitimizing structural inequality.Put differently, the state exercises a Hohfeldian Power to alter individuals' legal status based on their geographic location or “lawful presence.” At the same time, it shields itself from legal challenge by insisting that the law applies equally to everyone who is “out of place.” This claim of territorial neutrality is a dangerous legal fiction. As scholars Solon Barocas and Andrew Selbst have shown in their work on algorithmic systems, attempts at neutral criteria often replicate entrenched biases. Triggers like “proximity to a border” or “behavioral traces” in a transit hub do not produce blind justice. They enable targeted scrutiny and the erosion of immunity for those whose identities fail to match the “belonging” model of the “homeland.” The state circumvents its Hohfeldian Disability, avoiding the creation of second-class statuses, by pretending to manage space rather than discriminate against persons.This shift from a civic Republic to a territorial “homeland” is the primary driver of democratic backsliding. Political scientist Jacob Grumbach captured this dynamic in his 2022 paper, Laboratories of Democratic Backsliding. Analyzing 51 indicators of electoral democracy across U.S. states from 2000 to 2018, Grumbach developed the State Democracy Index. His findings reveal how American federalism has morphed from “laboratories of democracy” into sites of subnational authoritarianism. States with low scores on the index — often under unified Republican control — have pioneered police powers that insulate partisan dominance. We see this in the rise of state-level immigration enforcement units, the criminalization of movement for marginalized groups, and the expansion of a “right to exclude.”These states are not just enforcing the law. They are forging what Yale legal scholar Owen Fiss would recognize as a new caste system. By fixating on “defending” state soil against “infiltrators,” legislatures dismantle the public rights of the Reconstruction era — the right to participate in community life without indignity. Today's backsliding policies transform the nation's interior into a permanent enforcement zone. They reject the Enlightenment ideals of America, rooted in beliefs like liberty, equality, democracy, individual rights, and the rule of law. To fully understand Constitutional history, we best acknowledge that America's universalist creedal definition wasn't solely European. David Graeber and David Wengrow's The Dawn of Everything shows how Enlightenment values of liberty and equality arose from intellectual exchanges with Indigenous North American thinkers. Kandiaronk, a Huron statesman, traveled to Europe in the late 17th century and debated French aristocrats. His critiques were published and circulated widely among European intellectuals, including Voltaire, Diderot, and Rousseau. Graeber and Wengrow point out that before the widely popular publication of these dialogues in 1703, the concept of "Equality" as a primary political value was almost entirely absent from European philosophy. By the time Rousseau wrote his Discourse on the Origin and Basis of Inequality Among Men in 1754, it was the central question of the age.Kandiaronk criticized European society's subservience to kings and obsession with property. He contrasted it with the consensual governance and individual agency of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy embodied in their Great Law of Peace — a political order prioritizing the public right to exist without state-sanctioned indignity.The writers of the U.S. Constitution codified a Republic of “unalienable rights,” synthesizing Indigenous/European-inspired liberty with Hohfeldian Disabilities that legally restrained the state from territorial monarchy. Backsliding erases this profound philosophical endeavor. Reclaiming the Republic means honoring the Indigenous critique that a nation's legitimacy rests on its people's freedom, not its fences.We seem to be moving from governance by the governed to protecting an ingroup. In Hohfeldian terms, the state expands its privileges while shrinking the claim-rights of the vulnerable to move and exist safely. This leads to “spatial subordination,” managed through adiaphorization — a concept from social theorist Zygmunt Bauman's 1989 Modernity and the Holocaust. Bauman, a Polish-Jewish survivor who escaped the Nazis' grip on his early life, drew “adiaphora” from the Greek for matters outside moral evaluation. Modern bureaucracies make horrific actions morally neutral by framing them as technical duties, enabling atrocities like the Holocaust without personal ethical torment.As territorial belonging takes precedence, non-belongers are excluded from moral and legal obligations. They become “non-spaces” or “human waste” in the eyes of ICE and DHS. This betrays antisubordination, the “core and conscience” of America's civil rights tradition, as Yale constitutional scholars Jack Balkin and Reva Siegel called it. A democracy can't endure if it permanently relegates any group to legal impossibility. In the “homeland”, immigrants may live, work, and raise families for decades, yet remain mere “traces” to expunge. Weaponized place attachment turns affective bonds into property claims. This empowers the state to “cleanse” those deemed to be “out of place.” Rights become statused permissions, not universal ideals. If immunity from search depends on territorial status, the Republic of laws has yielded to a Heimat — a term the Nazis' usurped for their blood-and-soil homeland…that they then bloodied and soiled.Reversing this demands confronting the linguistic and legal architecture that rendered it conceivable. It's time to rethink the “homeland” frame and its anticlassification crutch. A truer and fairer Republic would commit to antisubordination and the state would be disabled from wielding space for hierarchy. A person's immunity from arbitrary power should be closer to an inalienable right to be “secure in one's person” that holds firm beyond checkpoints or workplace doors…or your front door.Steven Simon was right to feel uneasy with Clinton's wording. “Homeland” planted a seed that sprouted into hedgerows of exceptional powers and curtailed liberties. Are we going to cling to a “homeland” secured by fear and exclusion, forever unstable, or finally become a Republic revered for securing universal law and rights? As long as our rights remain geographically conditional, we all dwell in liability. Reclaiming the Republic, and our freedoms within it, may require transforming the Constitution from a Hohfeldian map of perimeters into a boundless plane of human dignity it aspires to be.

Neste episódio da série A ORDEM, mergulhamos no diagnóstico civilizacional de Zygmunt Bauman sobre a Modernidade Líquida e suas implicações devastadoras para a Igreja Adventista do Sétimo Dia. Vivemos em um tempo onde as instituições se desfazem, a fé é tratada como produto de consumo e a identidade se torna volátil. Como liderar uma comunidade profética em um ambiente que corrói todo tipo de compromisso sólido? Analisamos como a "liquidez" cultural pressiona o sistema representativo da igreja, transformando membros em consumidores exigentes e líderes em gestores de crises emocionais. Discutimos a cegueira moral que surge da burocratização, o perigo da vigilância digital que destrói a confiança e a necessidade urgente de uma resistência escatológica. Não se trata de adaptar a igreja à fluidez do mundo, mas de reafirmar nossa vocação como um corpo sólido, ancorado na revelação e na esperança do Reino. Resumo O episódio utiliza as categorias de Bauman — modernidade líquida, cultura de consumo e cegueira moral — como um espelho para diagnosticar os riscos de desinstitucionalização na fé adventista. Propõe que a resposta à crise não é a informalidade, mas a recuperação da profundidade teológica e da integridade ética. Principais Conclusões A mentalidade de consumo transformou a religião em mercadoria, exigindo que a liderança retome o discipulado radical em oposição ao entretenimento. A estrutura da igreja não é um obstáculo burocrático, mas uma forma necessária de resistência profética contra a dissolução dos laços comunitários. A vigilância líquida e a exposição digital ameaçam a confiança institucional, exigindo uma volta à transparência real e à vida de oração no secreto. Pontos-Chave - A modernidade líquida substitui a cidadania pelo consumo, afetando diretamente a fidelidade e a adoração. - A desinstitucionalização gera ansiedade e fragmentação doutrinária; a forma eclesiástica é proteção, não prisão. - A cegueira moral ocorre quando a eficiência técnica substitui a sensibilidade ética e o cuidado pastoral. - A liderança adventista deve atuar como uma "estaca firme" (Is 22:23), oferecendo solidez em tempos de derretimento moral.

Domenico Bellantoni"Identità fluide in una società liquida"Educazione affettiva e di genere nel contesto contemporaneoEdizioni Città Nuovawww.edizionicittanuova.itIl libro offre alcuni suggerimenti di natura psicoeducativa in relazione al tema della percezione/definizione della propria identità di genere. Viene preso in considerazione l'attuale contesto socio-culturale, che si caratterizza come complesso (Edgar Morin), liquido (Zygmunt Bauman) e contraddistinto dalla cosiddetta “evaporazione del padre” (Jacques Lacan). Quest'ultima caratteristica si manifesta anche come una crisi del normativo e dell'istituzionale. Tale contesto esige l'acquisizione di sempre nuove e maggiori competenze relative alla conoscenza e alla decodifica degli innumerevoli modelli che vengono attualmente proposti, soprattutto mediante l'universo internet, nelle sue molteplici sfaccettature.Domenico Bellantoni, psicologo e psicoterapeuta, è docente di Psicologia della religione presso l'Università Salesiana di Roma.

The speaker for the Eli Lauterpacht Lecture 2025 was Santiago Villalpando, Legal Advisor and Director of UNESCO.Lecture summary: Is international law facing a decline of treaties?In recent years, several authoritative voices have pointed out certain developments which seem to indicate that States are shifting away from treaty law-making for the governance of their international relations.Taking as a starting point the sociological concept of “liquid modernity” introduced by Zygmunt Bauman, this lecture will explore how treaties, archetypes of solid and stable law-making, have reacted to an unstable global community where norms seem to be eroding and long-term commitments appear to be challenged.As the lecture will show, there is no doubt that the law and practice of treaties have evolved to adapt to a shifting international environment, but the news about the death of treaties is greatly exaggerated. The Eli Lauterpacht Lecture was established after Sir Eli's death in 2017 to celebrate his life and work. This lecture takes place on a Friday at the Centre at the start of the Michaelmas Term in any academic year.These lectures are kindly supported by Dr and Mrs Ivan Berkowitz who are Principal Benefactors of the Centre.

What if freedom isn't the absence of limits, but the presence of form?In this episode of The Scenic Route, Jen explores the paradox of constraints – why the boundaries we resist might be the very thing that saves us. Drawing on the work of sociologist Zygmunt Bauman and his idea of liquid modernity, she unpacks how modern life's obsession with flexibility and endless options has left so many of us overwhelmed, exhausted, and floating without structure.You'll hear:Why too much freedom can make us feel lost instead of liberatedWhat Bauman meant by “liquid modernity”, and how it shapes our daily anxietyHow chosen limits can create space for creativity, rest, and meaningWhy personal boundaries matter and why collective ones matter even moreThis isn't a call to hustle smarter or embrace toxic gratitude. It's a quiet rebellion against a system that asks you to be endlessly available and endlessly improving. Jen invites you to build a life – and a world – solid enough to hold you.Survival is individual. Transformation is shared.They drained the public pool and sold you swimming lessons. The goalposts keep moving; nothing ever feels complete.You don't need to fix yourself; you need structures that hold you.If you've been feeling like you're always treading water, this episode is your permission to stop swimming and start building your boat.

"I like the word lethal. It is reminiscent [. . .] of pretty women and muscular men in classy hotels. Of secret negotiations and ice cubes in 25-year-old scotch glasses. [. . .]." Commentator in a study by Ofra Ben Ishai In this brief article, I will propose that the concept of lethality, aside from being poorly defined, has become a bleak commodity for Western military leaders. To be used as a tool for political consumption, devoid of real worth beyond permitting those who wish so to sweep aside any falsely perceived 'ethical' barriers to the conduct of war. Notably military forces that have not paid much heed to such ethics, for example, the Russians, conduct themselves on the battlefield and in occupation, already at the ultimate end-state of this dark consumerism. Lethality is becoming a military fiction as far removed from reality as any James Bond movie. That numerous Western militaries are now placing this at the centre of their national defence is, to me, both an act of desperation and a neglect of senior leaders' duties. It is a myth that shields itself from scrutiny. I will outline three points that you may wish to consider to gain a better understanding of my perspective. The first will be a rather heavy, but mercifully brief, interpretation of lethality as consumerism, using the work of post-modern sociologist Zygmunt Bauman. Second, outline the simple fact that lethality is so poorly defined as to be conceptually meaningless, and finally, to dissect through first principles some of the recent leadership statements about lethality and how they raise more questions than provide answers. Post-Modern Sociologists Like many post-modern sociologists, Zygmunt Bauman saw the termination of the 'rational' modern society in the concentration camps of the Holocaust. Rational man, bringing industrial-scale slaughter to humanity. In its place now stands a world devoid of rational values; the only cause for existence is to consume. How much you possess being the only mark of merit. Whilst this appears to be a potentially dark future, Bauman does see this as an opportunity, where the individual is now unconstrained by the guardrails of modernism. It is also important to note that societies don't just step over the border from modernism to postmodernism; these are theories, and of course, reality is far more complex. But Bauman's ideas are powerful ones. But it is in the darker aspects of Bauman's postmodernism that I see the relationship between the military and lethality. To suggest that the political process surrounding military strategy is not immersed in post-modernism is a form of profound cognitive dissonance. Politics at present is a prime case study in Bauman's thesis; military strategy like it or not is inseparable from that. To use the words of General Miley, 'militaries don't fight war, nations do,' post-modern nations. Lethality is becoming a commodity, an end in itself; sacks of shiny lethality become the worth of a military organisation. Detached from the necessity of military prudence. An anchorless idea that the Vietnam War and the outcomes of Western militaries in recent attempts at 'nation building' with massively overmatched firepower show is void. The problem with any form of consumerism is that it is always form over substance; the unique and well-advertised commodity is immediately desirable and not subject to critique of its worth. The recent strike on Iran's nuclear facilities being a prime example, any questioning of the strategy (or lack thereof) and effectiveness was immediately viewed as unpatriotic. Additionally, noting that the engines of this lethality consumerism, the defence industry, will do nothing to check this voraciousness. The entrance of numerous venture capital companies into the sector is a telling indicator. Things are entirely subjective My second point is that, like commodities themselves, what is desirable is entirely subjective. Additionally, as Stephen Wren had demonstrated with...

FastLetter - Una fonte buona dalla quale aggiornarsia cura di Giorgio TavernitiN. 56 - 18 Settembre 2025Di cosa parliamo* Sociologia della Ricerca su Internet* La complessità di oggi* La SEO* La cazzata della GEO* Ha senso ottimizzare per l'AI?* Il rischio di Google con l'AI Mode* Piccola Conclusione* I nostri eventi sull'AI* SalutiPremessa: non so come affrontare questo argomento, forse il miglior modo è dire le cose dritte al punto senza giri di parole. Quando abbiamo iniziato a parlare di Digital Transformation c'era un mondo nuovo che spiegava al mondo vecchio come doveva cambiare tutto.Ora che stiamo parlando di AI Transformation, vedo molte persone di quello che un tempo era il mondo nuovo non riuscire ad avere la stessa freschezza di un tempo.Vedo un mondo lento o lo vedo al rallentatore.Di solito, a portare avanti l'innovazione sono le persone nuove. Per questo nel forum gt incoraggiavamo le domande che venivano denigrate da altre parti, quelle dell'ultimo arrivato. Perché hanno un punto di vista che ti sposta dal tuo.E ci siamo ritrovati al punto in cui l'innovazione viene portata avanti da:* l'ultima persona arrivata* la persona che è portata di natura verso l'innovazione, che ha una visione molto ampia, elastica. Aldilà della sua età, aldilà di quanto è stanca.È molto probabile però, che il mondo del Digital, a furia di seguire le innovazioni si sia stancato prima.Perché sinceramente non mi spiego la fatica al cambiamento che vedo nel settore. Mi spiego un po' di più il livello culturale molto basso nel funzionamento base di Internet e del Marketing su Internet. Ma vi giuro che la fatica al cambiamento di tutti i soggetti coinvolti in questa AI Transformation non l'ho mai percepita prima.Mi permetto di darvi un consiglio: non siamo nemmeno sulla punta dell'hype dell'AI. A breve, il numero di richieste di attività e servizi in questo ambito da parte delle aziende salirà vertiginosamente.Circondatevi di persone che vogliono cambiare ed evolvere. Ma che lo desiderano davvero, non perché lo scrivono su LinkedIn.SOCIOLOGIA DELLA RICERCA SU INTERNETNegli ultimi 5-6 anni vi ho raccontato due mondi che stavano cambiando radicalmente:* il mondo della Ricerca (Google in particolare)* il mondo dei Social (YouTube e TikTok in particolare)Nel mio penultimo libro “Google Liquido” ho chiuso con l'oramai conosciuto capitolo dal titolo "l'Internet Liquida".Metto in fila alcune tesi che ho spinto più di altre per unire i puntini e dirvi cosa ne penso dell'AI nella Ricerca:* Google come ecosistema verso il suo interno, non più statico, ma liquido, con molte proprietà da più di 1 miliardo di utenti al mese* Google come ecosistema verso l'esterno, verso altri ecosistemi e il mondo social* Internet più aperta tramite API e interoperatività degli ecosistemi* Le nuove generazioni sui social più liquide, non statiche come le generazioni precedenti abituate a stare solo in un ambiente. Per loro l'ambiente è quasi indifferente* Le nuove generazioni che cercano nuovi stimoli creativi* Il frutto del Web 2.0 non è l'interattività, ma i Creator e la Creator Economy* Gli algoritmi dei Social non sono Topic Based, ma Audience Based e le Audience sono create in base alle azioni delle persone. Audience Liquide.La parola Liquido torna spesso in questo, non a caso Zygmunt Bauman ha teorizzato, parlato, scritto e via dicendo sulla Società Liquida e Modernità Liquida.Nel mio framework della Ricerca Umana unisco la Search e i Social in un unico mondo, la Ricerca intesa a livello più alto e non tramite una query.E quando arrivo alla parte AI parlo di un Intento Risolutivo.Quello che sta avvenendo in questi mesi è l'enorme unione di tutto questo. È come se tutti i mondi precedenti si stessero condensando verso uno nuovo. È l'esplosione di una supernova. L'AI non è una cosa nuova che si appiccica SOLO all'esistente. Lo crea.Così come spiegavo che non è più possibile distinguere cosa è social e cosa non lo è, non sarà più possibile distinguere cosa è una ricerca con l'AI e cosa no. Stiamo andando verso l'uso dell'AI in ogni cosa.Ma non solo. Le nuove generazioni, e piano piano anche tutte le altre precedenti, stanno modificando pesantemente lo scenario. Le nuove generazioni che saltano da un social all'altro senza sentirsi appartenere a uno o all'altro, saltano da un sistema di ricerca a un altro. Saltano da Google a ChatGPT a TikTok.Perché prima di tutto non c'è la tecnologia, c'è l'essere umano.Le vecchie generazioni si stanno abituando, perché altrimenti si sentono fuori da questo mondo innovativo che loro stesse hanno creato o frequentato dal principio.È l'Internet Liquida nella tecnologia e nel modo di viverla dell'essere umano. La tecnologia asseconda questa tensione umana.Vi ricordate quando nel framework della ricerca umana vi dicevo che all'inizio c'erano le Directory, poi i Motori di Ricerca, poi Social Network, Social Media e infine mondo AI?Ecco dicevo che più ci spostavamo verso il mondo di destra, verso l'AI, verso il futuro, più aziende erano in competizione per la fetta di torta. La frammentazione della leadership nella ricerca non è più solo riguardante le aziende.Riguarda noi. Riguarda tutto quello che usiamo.Mi sta venendo in mente, mentre sto effettuando il processo di revisione di questa edizione della FastLetter, che forse è il caso di realizzare dei video che spiegano i termini più imporanti, come un glossario ma più pratico. Potrei aprire la rubrica “Parole da portare con sé nel Futuro”. Su YouTube.LA COMPLESSITÀ DI OGGIIn molte parti del nostro mondo fisico esistono luoghi assaltati dai turisti che votano i cibi locali. Così, in alto in classifica ti ritrovi i peggiori ristoranti del posto. Gente non competente che pensa di esserlo. Ecco, questo è LinkedIn.La complessità di oggi non può essere risolta facilmente. In una edizione precedente spiegavo quanto si andrà anche verso la frammentazione della consulenza.Tutti questi post su cosa fare e come agire sono assurdi per il semplice fatto che non sono applicabili se non al cliente di chi lo sta raccontando (che già va bene se è vero). Certo, è sempre avvenuto così. Dicevamo di non poter applicare le strategie SEO usate negli USA portandole in Italia: si tratta di un mercato diverso. Ecco quello che era vero a livello di nazione ora è vero non solo nei settori, ma nella natura dei progetti stessi.Mi piacerebbe prendere i post di Linkedin dei vari personaggi in voga e smontali pezzo per pezzo, ma ho di meglio da fare.Quelle elucubrazioni indossano un vestito nuovo. Sotto, però, la sostanza è sempre la stessa: trita e ritrita. La maggior parte dei post che sembrano innovativi, in realtà nascondono una mentalità lenta e di vecchio stampo. Non hanno sostanza, se non in piccolissimi casi.Quello non è cambiare davvero. Quello è tentare di sopravvivere a un cambiamento, non cavalcarlo. Perché il cambiamento vero sta avvenendo a livello di processo, non di piccola cosa tecnica che si è scoperta. Se prendiamo il mondo e-commerce e leggiamo alcuni dei consigli che appaiono innovativi, è molto probabile che risultino essere esercizi di stile proposti dall'ennessimo post ego-riferito, inapplicabili in molti casi e con uno spostamento del fatturato inesistente.Applicare l'AI ad una piccola parte di un qualcosa non è il punto di arrivo. Bisogna riuscire a stravolgere completamente il processo dell'elaborazione delle informazioni in nostro possesso per scalare velocemente. Non solo per generare i tag title!E poi alla fine scopri che il sito converte poco, ci si concentra solo sull'acquisizione nuovi clienti, non c'è un piano per il carrello abbandonato e via dicendo.Internet è frammentata. La ricerca è frammentata. La consulenza è frammentata.Ed è tutto così.Un freelance SEO ha strategie diverse un'Agenzia. E problemi diversi.Un e-commerce multibrand ha problemi differenti da uno monobrand.Questa cosa, già in essere negli anni passati, sta esplodendo con l'AI. Perché?Perché l'AI sta smontando i processi. Signore e Signori, l'AI ci porta in una direzione in cui le cose vanno fatte maledettamente bene, maledettamente personalizzate sui progetti. E rese scalabili su tutto l'ecosistema dei clienti. Avete presente il Time To Market?La locuzione inglese time to market (o TTM) indica il periodo di tempo che intercorre tra l'ideazione di un prodotto e la sua effettiva commercializzazione. Da WikipediaNel mondo e-commerce applicare l'AI alla SEO e al'ADV offre una serie di vantaggi molto concreti:* azzerare il Time to Market del prodotto da quando finisce nel catalogo a quando è disponibile con tutte le ottimizzazioni in tutte le lingue* scalare notevolmentePensate a un e-commerce di moda. Prima, per lanciare una nuova scarpa in 6 paesi, il processo (traduzioni, SEO, campagne ADV) richiedeva molti giorni. Oggi, con un processo ridisegnato tramite AI, lo stesso risultato si ottiene in poche ore, con un controllo umano finale. Questo non è un piccolo miglioramento, è un cambio di paradigma che libera risorse per un valore incalcolabile.Per farlo, però, devi cambiare i processi e le persone: non ti basta "usare l'AI"! E questa cosa è in grado di spostare totalmente i budget e la strategia digitale.I processi cambiano da realtà a realtà, da infrastruttura tecnologica a infrastruttura tecnologica. Una soluzione che va bene per un progetto, non va bene per l'altro.E soprattutto: non è una cosa da poco. E come sempre: ha a che fare con gli esseri umani.Oggi è tutto molto più complesso, ci sono davvero troppi canali, troppe azioni che si possono fare. Leggo i vari post in giro e mi chiedo: ma questa cosa quanto sposta di fatturato?Zero.Quanto sposta di fatturato cambiare completamente il processo di produzione delle informazioni una volta che lo hai oliato bene? Molto.LA SEOLa SEO è sempre stata una scusa per fare le

Chiara Giaccardi, Mauro Magatti"Macchine celibi"Meccanizzare l'umano o umanizzare il mondo?Edizioni del Mulinowww.mulino.itSiamo nell'epoca delle macchine celibi, dove l'essere umano viene modellato da ciò che lui stesso ha costruito. La via d'uscita sta nel recuperare ciò che la modernità ha emarginato: il dialogo, il pensiero, lo spirito. Perché la felicità non è celibe (e nemmeno la libertà).Cosa resta oggi della modernità definita «liquida» da Zygmunt Bauman? Il modello di sviluppo che ha dominato il passaggio di secolo è ormai tramontato. Come tenere insieme, allora, una società sempre più grande e frammentata, che si sbarazza dell'ordine morale tradizionale in nome della libertà personale? Il digitale, che si propone come antidoto alle spinte disgregatrici della nostra epoca, è allo stesso tempo un potente catalizzatore di nuovi problemi. Il risultato è paradossale: massima efficienza e massimo caos comunicativo coesistono. E mentre le macchine intelligenti diventano sempre più simili all'uomo, l'uomo rischia di regredire a «macchina celibe»: un Io isolato, performante, privo di legami e incapace di riconoscere l'altro. Questo libro ci richiama all'urgenza di un pensiero nuovo, a partire dalla riscoperta di una «politica dello spirito» capace di restituire senso, legami e futuro alle nostre società. Siamo a un bivio: sta a noi scegliere la direzione.Chiara Giaccardi insegna Sociologia e Antropologia dei media all'Università Cattolica di Milano, dove dirige anche la rivista «Comunicazioni Sociali». Mauro Magatti insegna Sociologia all'Università Cattolica di Milano.

In this episode of Psyche Podcast, I sit down with filmmaker Fred Sprinkle to talk about his powerful short film The Rites of Man. From the first time I watched it, I was struck by its beauty, depth, and the way it speaks to the struggles of masculinity in our culture today. Fred shares how the project was born out of his own reflections on manhood, mental health, and the pressures to constantly “maximize” in a world governed by metrics and algorithms.We dive into the unique filmmaking process—shot on 16mm film—and explore themes of precarious masculinity, trauma, relationships, and the tension between connection and solitude. Our conversation also touches on philosophy, Byung-Chul Han, Zygmunt Bauman, religion, and the longing for community in a digital age.This is one of those episodes that opens up big questions about what it means to be human, how we deal with pain, and how art can help us reflect on our lives. Whether you're drawn to film, psychology, or questions of masculinity, I think you'll find this conversation both thought-provoking and deeply human.

La lectura del Banquete de Platón explora cómo este simposio se concibe desde diferentes aproximaciones, desde lo superfluo hasta lo sublime. En esta obra, se consideraban válidos ciertos tipos de amor que hoy serían inconcebibles. Esto se abona también en los días posmodernos con el concepto de "amor líquido" de Zygmunt Bauman, que no se limita solo a las relaciones románticas, sino que trasciende a las comunidades en general.

Andresa Boni e Luiz Felipe Pondé mergulham nas ideias do sociólogo polonês Zygmunt Bauman, o pensador que transformou a incerteza moderna em conceito: a modernidade líquida.Em um mundo onde quanto mais o Estado tentar organizar, mais desorganizado tudo parece e onde nada é feito para durar, Bauman nos ajuda a entender o que acontece quando relacionamentos viram apenas conexões, segurança vira vigilância, e compromissos se tornam contratos com prazo de validade.Da utopia socialista ao ativismo de sofá, Andresa e Pondé vão se aprofundar nos conceitos de Bauman, um dos poucos que ousaram em dizer: “Em tempos líquidos, tudo escorre entre os dedos: o amor, os valores, os compromissos… até mesmo o futuro parece evaporar antes de chegar”.Assista ao Linhas Cruzadas, todas as quintas às 22h na TV Cultura.#TVCultura #LuizFelipePondé #AndresaBoni #LinhasCruzadas #ZygmuntBauman #AmorLíquido

Zygmunt Bauman -quien introdujo la idea de modernidad líquida- escribió sobre sus consecuencias en los individuos, concretamente aumentando sentimientos de incertidumbre y una privatización de la ambivalencia. Se trata, para este autor, de una continuación caótica de la modernidad, donde una persona puede cambiar de una posición social a otra de manera fluida y reiterada. La modernidad líquida, según Bauman, está marcada por cambios constantes, inciertos y acelerados que, entre otras cosas, llevan a dar más valor al índice de consumo y productividad laboral de una persona al cuidado que requiere cuando llega a una edad de vejez.​ El nomadismo deviene un rasgo general del hombre líquido moderno, mientras fluye a través de su propia vida como un turista, cambiando sitios, trabajos, cónyuges, valores y a veces más —como su orientación política o sexual— excluyéndose de las redes tradicionales de contenciónSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/audioteca/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Het derde gesprek van Ad Verbrugge met dominee Paul Visser over het boek 'De gezagscrisis'. In het eerste gesprek kwam de dynamiek van zeggen, luisteren en gezag aan bod. Het vorige gesprek ging over de ontzuiling en het wegvallen van instituties. Die thematiek komt nu terug, waarbij dominee Visser duidt welk geestelijk tegenwicht er in het geloof te vinden is in een tijd van tanend gezag (en onbehagen).--Steun DNW en word patroon op http://www.petjeaf.com/denieuwewereld.Liever direct overmaken?

The publication of Theory and Society in 2024 bought to conclusion a three volume collection of The Selected Writings of Zygmunt Bauman. Preceded by Culture and Art in 2021 and Politics and History in 2023 (all published by Polity Press) these volumes presented essays which either had never been published before, were being made available in English for the first time, or had previously been published but were not well known. The books were hugely influential contributions for scholars of Bauman, who now had access to new texts, in some cases ones which encouraged some rethinking of his project, as well as scholars in social theory, the history of sociology and the themes of each volume. All the volumes were edited by four scholars, three of whom joined me for this podcast: Dariusz Brzeziński, Tom Campbell and Jack Palmer (Mark Davis makes up the team) to discuss the series, including an in-depth discussion of Theory and Society. As we discuss in the episode, the availability of these texts, especially the translations from Bauman's pre-exile works in Poland encourage us to look at Bauman's work as one continuous project founded around a project of humanism and what the editors term the ‘Camus-Gramsci-Mills axis' which defines his work. But, it also opens new ways of placing Bauman as, for example a scholar of futures and the history of sociology and social thought. We also discuss the significance of the translations of Bauman's work (performed by Katarzyna Bartoszynska), how the opening of the Janina and Zygmunt Bauman papers at the University of Leeds provided a prompt for this project and the relation between Bauman's work and life circumstances. I also ask the editors to pick their favourite essay from the series. Your host, Matt Dawson is Professor of Sociology at the University of Glasgow and is the author of G.D.H.

Jack Palmer's Zygmunt Bauman and the West: A Sociology of Intellectual Exile (McGill-Queen's University Press, 2023) invites us to reconsider a figure who sociology thought it knew well. Presenting Bauman as occupying an ‘exilic' position as ‘in, but not of, the West' Palmer presents a number of paths through Bauman's sociology which speak to contemporary concerns with the decolonial critique, Eurocentrism, imperialism and the Jewish experience. In doing so, Palmer draws across Bauman's published works and his newly available archive to argue that the distinctive social thought that sprang from Bauman's lived experiences of exile amounts to a sustained, sophisticated, and hitherto unappreciated problematization of Eurocentrism and the West.  This outstanding book also asks us to look again at Bauman's mode of writing, with the centrality of the essay being both a reflection of Bauman's exilic position and also a key to the continuing value of his sociological project. This is a book which those who know Bauman, but also those unfamiliar with his work, will find richly rewarding. Our discussion covers all these themes and ultimately asks the question of how do we remember intellectuals? Learn more about your ad choices.

This is a book which those who know Bauman, but also those unfamiliar with his work, will find richly rewarding. Our discussion covers all these themes and ultimately asks the question of how do we remember intellectuals? Learn more about your ad choices.

Nesta semana, no Linhas Cruzadas, Andresa Boni e Luiz Felipe Pondé discutem a crise das grandes narrativas na era da pós-modernidade. Andresa questiona se hoje existe uma verdade ou se cada um escolhe "sua verdade" como escolhe uma roupa. Pondé explica que a pós-modernidade surgiu após a Segunda Guerra Mundial, trazendo a descrença em grandes histórias, como dizia Zygmunt Bauman, que acreditava que a utopia moderna morreu em Auschwitz. Eles falam sobre o mito da caverna de Platão e discutem a importância dos saberes tradicionais em comparação com a ciência. A conversa se estende ao impacto da pós-modernidade nas artes, moda e arquitetura.   Não perca esta conversa envolvente no Linhas Cruzadas, todas as quintas às 22h. #TVCultura  #LuizFelipePondé #AndresaBoni #Narrativa #PósModernidade

Despite its persistence and viciousness, anti-Semitism remains undertheorized in comparison with other forms of racism and discrimination. How should anti-Semitism be defined? What are its underlying causes? Why do anti-Semites target Jews? In what ways has Judeophobia changed over time? What are the continuities and disconnects between mediaeval anti-Judaism and the Holocaust? How does criticism of the state of Israel relate to anti-Semitism? And how can social theory illuminate the upsurge in attacks on Jews today? Considering these questions and many more, Critical Theories of Anti-Semitism (Columbia University Press, 2024) by Dr. Jonathan Judaken is at once a philosophical reflection on key problems in the analysis of anti-Semitism and a history of its leading theories and theorists. Jonathan Judaken explores the methodological and conceptual issues that have vexed the study of Judeophobia and calls for a reconsideration of the definitions, categories, and narratives that underpin overarching explanations. He traces how a range of thinkers have wrestled with these challenges, examining the theories of Jean-Paul Sartre, the Frankfurt School, Hannah Arendt, and Jean-François Lyotard, alongside the works of sociologists Talcott Parsons and Zygmunt Bauman and historians Léon Poliakov and George Mosse. Dr. Judaken argues against claims about the uniqueness of Judeophobia, demonstrating how it is entangled with other racisms: Islamophobia, Negrophobia, and xenophobia. Critical Theories of Anti-Semitism not only urges readers to question how they think about Judeophobia but also draws them into conversation with a range of leading thinkers whose insights are sorely needed in this perilous moment. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose new book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Invitée: Izabela Wagner. Le sociologue Zygmunt Bauman, décédé en 2017, définissait notre société contemporaine comme une "société liquide". Les situations évoluent plus vite que les habitudes, l'individu ne parvient pas à apprendre de ses expériences sur le long terme et doit répondre à une double injonction de mobilité et dʹadaptation  Quelles sont les conséquences de cette liquéfaction de nos sociétés ? Tribu reçoit Izabela Wagner, sociologue et biographe de Zygmunt Bauman. Elle se fait le porte-voix de sa pensée, à lʹoccasion de la sortie de lʹouvrage " Ma vie en fragments " aux éditions Premiers parallèles,  un récit autobiographique posthume édité pas lʹinvitée de lʹémission. 

In this episode, Eric Hsu and Louis Everuss have a discussion about Zygmunt Bauman's noted work, Wasted Lives (2003), which explores how the process of modernisation inevitably produces waste.  In discussing what it means to live in a disposable society, Eric and Louis imagine what it must have been like to have once worked in a fax machine factory. Listeners wanting to send Eric and Louis a fax are advised to send them a telegram instead.

The boys are back and we are finally finishing this masterwork of left sociology by heavyweight Polish intellectual and dissident Marxist, Zygmunt Bauman.From the publisher's note:"Modernity was supposed to be the period in human history when the fears that pervaded social life in the past could be left behind and human beings could at last take control of their lives and tame the uncontrolled forces of the social and natural worlds. And yet, at the dawn of the twenty-first century, we live again in a time of fear. Whether its the fear of natural disasters, the fear of environmental catastrophes or the fear of indiscriminate terrorist attacks, we live today in a state of constant anxiety about the dangers that could strike unannounced and at any moment. Fear is the name we give to our uncertainty in the face of the dangers that characterize our liquid modern age, to our ignorance of what the threat is and our incapacity to determine what can and can't be done to counter it."We cover the introduction and first two chapters in this episode.Bauman, Zygmunt. 2006.
