To the Question of the Conjunction of the Cognitive Potential of the Dialectical Method and the Systematic Approach

The presented text is devoted to the study, systematization and integration of economic knowledge in the aspect of researching the possibilities of coupling the cognitive potential of the dialectical method and systems approach in the context of identifying the features of the evolution process of complex weakly structured macro-objects, which are in different phase states of their being. As a scientific goal, the problem of researching the possible limits and potential of applying the dialectical method and the system approach in the context of identifying the features of the process of evolution of economic systems, mediated by the phase nature of the process of social production. Based on the cognitive potential of the dialectical method, system analysis, supplemented by certain elements of the method of ascent from the abstract to the concrete, it is proved that the conjunction of the cognitive potential of these tools, ultimately allows a comprehensive qualitative presentation of the evolution of economic systems; the approach proposed by the authors fully fits into the synergistic paradigm of modern science, as its basis is the study of qualitative transformations in macroobjects, that are in a dynamic nonequilibrium state, for which the multivariate nature of elements is inherent.

Introduction au numéro thématique: La production des innovations sociales à l’ère de la créativité et du numérique : l’importance de l’encastrement, de la construction des communs et des interactions sociales

The notion of social innovation is of interest to academics, civil society and public authorities alike. Theoretical interest in this concept has recently shifted towards a better understanding of the processes underlying its production. This is the focus of this special issue, in a context of creative and digital economy. This special issue highlights a number of important features of social innovation production processes : 1) their embeddedness in particular socio-economic and political contexts, 2) the importance of digital tools conceived as commons fostering their development and concretization, 3) the importance of combining social innovation production processes with organizational dynamics.

Labor law and artificial intelligence: points of contact and differences

The advent of high-tech and self-learning AI algorithms is setting off an unprecedented transformation of social production processes that will fundamentally affect the entire world of labor. According to the author, the introduction of AI into the world of labor will undoubtedly lead to a temporary surge in technological unemployment, but in the long term, new technologies will create more jobs in new sectors of the economy. The impact of AI on unemployment is context-specific and should be subject to government regulation. The author points out that as a result of the introduction of AI algorithms in the world of labor, arise not only the traditional problems of strengthening the economic power of the employer, discrimination or unauthorized collection of personal data, but set a big complex of legal problems related to the responsibility of the employer for decisions that he himself cannot control. Therefore, for labor law, the most important task is to eliminate the discrepancies between the current model of legal regulation of labor relations and the risks of introducing AI into decision-making processes of hiring and controlling employees. The science of labor law should develop relevant approaches to a reasonable limitation of the use of AI, taking into account the peculiarities of modern algorithmic technologies, production prospects, legal and social risks. The author criticizes proposals for endowing AI with legal personality and the possibility of delegating responsibility for the implementation of employer functions to algorithms. According to the author, AI cannot have legal personality in labor relations (as well as in legal relations of any other type), since the functioning of AI is carried out through the datification of all their participants without the goal of achieving a socially significant result and establishing interaction between subjects of law regarding the satisfaction of their needs. AI is a means of automating labor processes, a digital interface for interaction between elements of the production system. The author states that AI in legal reality can exist only as an object of law. The author proposes to fix in the labor legislation the presumption of responsibility of the employer for the decisions made by AI, regardless of the originally programmed algorithms, even if they were changed by AI as a result of machine learning.

Urban spaces of relation, protection and sharing as care places and common goods: the cases of ‘iMorticelli’ in Salerno and ‘LGBTQIA+ Centre’ in Prato

The theme of care, one of the most significant theoretical models in the late 20th century philosophical thought, is today at the core of national and international debate. The lack of attention towards care activities has generated a serious crisis that highlights the injustices intrinsic to social production processes and the importance of reproductive work. In this conceptual framework, care becomes a practice, a cultural and ethical value on which it is necessary to set up new policies focused on listening, inclusion, production of public space and of proximity democracies, which in turn generate places of care becoming common goods. In this light, the article describes two practices of care and common good which, although not yet fully developed, have given rise to urban relation, protection and sharing spaces: a collective space, iMorticelli in Salerno, aspiring to become a community landmark through collaborative processes and educational, cultural and research activities; a territorial relation and protection space around genderqueer issues, the LGBTQIA+ Centre in Prato.

Luigi Pasinetti and the making of classical-Keynesian political economy

The paper is made up of two sections. The first contains some preliminary remarks to elaborate a classical-Keynesian system of political economy: closing the gap between Keynes and Sraffa, and the close connections existing between Ricardo, Sraffa and Keynes. The second section starts with a presentation of the social process of production, followed by considering the relationship between this process and the problems of value and distribution. Subsequently, the determination of output and employment in a monetary production economy is dealt with. Finally, the crucial importance of the Pasinetti transformation for linking classical and Keynesian elements of analysis is put to the fore. In the concluding remarks classical-Keynesian political economy is set into a wider context.

The Social Production of Industrial Heritage Spaces in the Background of Cultural Governance: A Comparative Study Based on Cases from Taipei and Hong Kong

This article borrows Heri Lefebvre’s space production theory to discuss the cultural governance of East Asian cities and how culture is used as a means of spatial organization in a structured way. Text analysis, field investigation, and comparative analysis are used as the main research methods to explore the specific social production process of Taipei’s Songshan Cultural and Creative Park and Hong Kong’s The Mills. The social production processes of these cultural spaces took place in the same period, having some similarities, and they mostly involved transformation from old factories and old buildings in urban areas. However, the cultural governance strategies in Taipei and Hong Kong are different. On the one hand, the Taipei government’s continuous cultural policy has spawned diverse cultural spaces rooted in factory renovations and unified under the authorities’ imagination of “Creative Taiwan”. A benign model of cultural heritage protection has been formed in terms of community participation, industrial development, and ecological conservation in Taipei. On the other hand, Hong Kong’s cultural governance pays more attention to landmark cultural projects from the perspective of tourism development. Mainly driven by private capital, The Mills completed the transformation from a factory to a cultural space. The Mills’ transformation process is also the epitome of the decline of Hong Kong’s textile industry. In addition, different cultural governance strategies and cultural policies in Taipei and Hong Kong affect the dominant forces in the social production process of cultural spaces. The main driving force of cultural spaces in Taipei is the local government, while the production of cultural spaces in Hong Kong involves more stakeholders, such as private developers, non-profit organizations, etc., and presents the characteristics of a multi-path and multi-participant historic building activation process. Moreover, at the regional level, the abandonment and reuse of industrial buildings in Hong Kong and Taipei are rooted in the migration of local traditional manufacturing to mainland China with cheaper labor and the upgrading and transformation of local industries. This comparative study complements the global picture of cultural space production and also provides references for other areas.

Exploring the Quotidian: An Analysis of Plain-Weave Textiles at Cerro de Oro, Peru, during the Sixth to Tenth Centuries

AbstractAndean prehispanic textiles are renown for being complex masterpieces made with labor-intensive techniques and high-quality raw materials. Nevertheless, the vast majority of textiles, those used by the population at large, were plain, simple, and without any decoration. We study a sample composed of the most common textiles used by people living at Cerro de Oro in the Cañete Valley, Peru. Our analysis focuses on fiber selection, yarn thickness, and the presence of errors throughout the process of weaving. We discuss relevant aspects of the social process of textile production, such as the role played by plain-weave textiles in different contexts, their use in different types of garments, and the varied ways community members, with particular skill levels, participated in clothing the living and the dead at Cerro de Oro.

Analysis of transformations of the modern economy

The object of research is the economy, its types and directions of modern transformation in the conditions of global instability of world development in the 21st century. Since the economy is a reflection of the trends of social development, the understanding of the definition of «modern economy» changes and needs clarification and improvement. The active movement of resources and capacities as a result of global social upheavals of the 21st century has created a need to understand aspects of the migration economy. The research is analytical. During the research, special methods of information processing and analysis were used: elimination, intuitive method. The work is aimed at the systematization and generalization of the terminology used to characterize modern social production processes, determining the expediency of introducing the definition «migration economy». This will make it possible to formalize the process of making management decisions in the conditions of the trend of total migrations. The paper analyzes the terms that describe the economy at the current stage of development. It is shown that several terms are used simultaneously: «movement», «migration», «relocation». And only the term «migration» has an essential interpretation as emergency and unplanned actions. An attempt was made to formulate the definition of «migration economy» as a specific economic activity of society, caused by both voluntary and forced (including emergency) migration of subjects of economic relations across national or regional borders, which changes the spectrum of economic, social interactions and the economic landscape both in the territories of departure and in the territories of destination. The work shows that the real processes of the world economy require a modern terminological definition. This will form the basis for its forecasting and development. The interpretation of the modern economy as a migration economy allows for the formulation of new principles of the organization of production processes: autonomy, adaptability, allocation of business blocks according to the principle of optimal added value. The practical value of the work lies in the effort to form a definition of the modern economy, which makes it possible to specify management decisions on the organization of production and to understand the directions of changes.

MIGRANT URBANISM: Cape Verdean Djunta‐mon and its Impact on the Built Environment of Cova da Moura (Lisbon)

AbstractInternational migrations are transforming the urban landscape in cities all around the world. In this article I address the effect of Cape Verdean migration on the built environment of Lisbon's periphery. Specifically, I analyse a traditional practice of mutual aid originating in rural Cape Verde, the djunta‐mon system, as a device of migrant urbanism projected onto the urban landscape of the Cova da Moura neighbourhood. In this article, which is based on ethnographic fieldwork, I discuss the role of the djunta‐mon in the urban evolution of the neighbourhood from its formation in the 1970s to the present day. The data collected shows that this practice has had an important effect on the appropriation, functional delimitation and significance of the urban space by residents. The results thus point to the importance of understanding how the cultures and identities of human groups crystallize through the processes of social production of space.

“Keep trying and you will keep finding”: social knowledge production regarding the use of medicinal plants in rural communities from Uruguay

ABSTRACT In this paper, we analyze the process of social production of knowledge regarding the use of medicinal plants in three groups of rural women who gather and commercialize plants in the department of Canelones, Uruguay. This study is based on the hypothesis that the social labeling of these practices as exclusive to the domestic sphere has decontextualized and hidden the production of knowledge in such spaces, invisibilizing and not recognizing female contributions. We analyze four behavioral dynamics of this knowledge (conservation, erosion, innovation and transformation) in relation to the influence of the sex/gender system in the production and social valuation of this knowledge. Finally, given that these groups of women commercialize medicinal plants and products, we reflect on the transition of this knowledge into the commercial sphere, the consequences, possible changes and the effects on the social valuation of this knowledge.

Patterns of economically safe restructuring of Russian industry

The purpose of the article is to propose the main patterns of restructuring (structural changes) of the Russian industrial economy. The task of the study is to reveal the essence and substantiation of each of the formulated patterns. The subject of the publication is the organizational and economic relations arising during the safe restructuring of the Russian industry. The methodology of the study proceeds from objectively existing, recurring, significant dynamic, static or combined relationships and dependencies of phenomena and processes of social production, which characterize the increase in the aggregate result of the country’s industrial system functioning. The main results are reduced to the definition of nine patterns of economically safe restructuring with the justification of each of them and the specification of their essence. Their scientific understanding is quite applicable both in educational institutions of the country in the study of economic theory and security, the restructuring of the industrial economy, and the economic practice of structural changes at all government levels. A general conclusion has been formed, expressing the content of the main patterns of safe industrial restructuring as an economic concept and its objective foundations.

Review of “Social Capital in Singapore: The Power of Network Diversity”

Vincent Chua and his colleagues, Gillian Koh, Tan Ern Ser, and Drew Shih, exerted collective effort in organizing a monograph entitled Social Capital in Singapore: The Power of Network Diversity published under the Politics in Asia series of the Routledge. Considering the relative dearth of a relevant literature regarding the particular theme, readers who are interested in how social capital has been formed in Singapore, a multiethnic and economically affluent city state, will find the book an essential reading. As the book befittingly devotes the whole first chapter to explicate intricate characteristics of the Singaporean polity, it is impossible to comprehend the process of social capital production at the interpersonal and organizational levels if one is ignorant about the state-society and state-citizens relationship in Singapore. The tripartite state policies that underpin the Singaporean society are public housing, meritocracy, and racial harmony as stipulated in Chapters 1, 3, 4, and 7....

“Prefiro mexer no coração a mexer na boca”: reflexões sobre o cuidado em saúde bucal

Abstract This article shares reflections on oral health care that emerged from the dialect relation between professional practice and theoretical research. It interrogates the concept of care disseminated by the biomedical discourse, in which care is a technique geared towards cure. We believe care to be an ontological dimension, an intrinsic characteristic of the human being from which they constitute themselves in the world. As such, we use the notion of buccality to situate the mouth as a territory that take part in the social production and reproduction process, completely penetrated by the culture and psychism. The mouth is, therefore, socially produced-a body-territory endowed with subjectivity that is crossed by multiple experiences throughout life. Hence, dentistry’s concept of care fails to encompass oral health care in all its complexity, making it necessary to renounce an odontological a priori to understand that people’s socio-historical realities and experiences are materialized on their mouths, making room to understand care as an intersubjective encounter crossed by potent and transformative affections.

IDENTIFIKASI PEMBELAJARAN SOSIAL DALAM PENGEMBANGAN BATIK DI KOTA PEKALONGAN

Batik as an Indonesian cultural heritage has been recognized by the world in 2009 by UNESCO. This recognition does not fully go hand in hand with the sustainability of batik business and culture in Pekalongan City, especially for business actors in the next generation. This condition is caused by the minimum wage of workers due to the inequality of the subcontracting system in the batik business. This study aims to identify social learning in the batik industry development. The extent to which social learning facilitates the development of batik with regional development. Qualitative methods were carried out for data collection by using in-depth interviews with key business actors in the batik industry chain in the City and Regency of Pekalongan which were selected purposively. The results show that social learning and innovative production processes are still limited with the involvement of the regeneration of young entrepreneurs. The challenges of the batik industry in rural areas depend on how entrepreneurs can enlarge their business net works. This business needs to be more adaptive in utilizing batik not only as an industrial commodity as it is but also processing it creatively as an attraction for Pekalongan City.Keywords: Batik, social learning, sustainability

Desiring occupation: Theorising the passion, creativity, and social production of everyday life

ABSTRACT In this paper, we operationalise a postmodern conceptualisation of desire in order to articulate occupation as a passionate, creative, and productive process that is entangled with the social world. Employing the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari, we use the concepts of assemblage and desire to theorise how passionate impulses are socially constructed and produce the flows of everyday life. The concept of assemblages refers to the dynamic webs of interconnection that make up our social world. The social and material elements within an assemblage (human, non-human, physical, non-physical) are continually shaping and being shaped by each other, entangled in an ongoing process of social production. In this paper, we theorise occupation as an assemblage, as a dynamic and social process that produces the flows of everyday life. The concept of desire refers to the creative impulse and passion that stirs individuals to create or act within their social world/assemblage. We present desire as a social force, one that is produced by the assemblages of everyday life and also one that produces everyday life. While the assemblages of everyday life have the potential to constrain desire, they also have the potential to creatively liberate the transformative potential of desire – generating liberating occupational flows.

ІНТЕРНАЦІОНАЛІЗАЦІЯ ЯК ОБ’ЄКТИВНА ПЕРЕДУМОВА РОЗВИТКУ МІЖНАРОДНОГО БІЗНЕСУ В МІЖНАРОДНИХ ЕКОНОМІЧНИХ ВІДНОСИНАХ

The article grounds the objective conditions for the formation of the process of internationalization in the system of international economic relations as a process of social production beyond national borders due to the international division of labor. The author identifies and explaines characteristics as diversification, diversity, extensiveness, contradiction, unity, synergy, integrity and intensity, of current trends in international economic relations, namely internationalization, transnationalization, economic integration, differentiation, globalization, global integration in the formation of global economic environment. The difference between internationalization and globalization as processes conserning the evolution of economic relations between countries is explained. The main distinguishing feature between the two processes can be considered the level of preservation of national sovereignty. The levels (stages) of the internationalization process at the micro level of international business operations are determined, as well as the development of business internationalization at each stage. They are the initial stage, the stage of local market expansion, the transnational stage and the global stage. While developing internationalization, the forms of international business are changing (becoming more complicated) – from the international trade to the global company. The article highlights the main objects of economic internationalization of international business development: the sphere of exchange of production results; the sphere of exchange of factors of production; the scope of the actual production process. There are three stages of international business development in accordance with the objects of economic internationalization of international business development. At the first stage the main sphere of international business is the export-import activity of a private company in the foreign market, at the second stage the main sphere becomes the system of international movement of financial resources, at the third one there is the development of entrepreneurial activity in global competition.

Information support for developing project competence of educational organization head in the context of digitalization of education

The article deals with the issue of organizing information support for the formation of project competence of the head of an educational organization in modern socio-economic conditions characterized by the processes of globalization of social relations, production processes and activities based on their digitalization. It is shown that the possibilities of additional professional training programs alone, the development of which is a traditional way of developing professional competence, are not enough for the full disclosure of the potential of project activities by the head of an educational organization. To solve this contradiction, it is proposed to use the capabilities of global digital reality. To this end, the authors of the article attempted to determine the essence of modern information support for the formation of project competence of the head of an educational organization. The structure and content of practical activities in the implementation of information support for the formation of competencies of the head of an educational organization in the field of project management and digitalization conditions are proposed.

Reinventing Urban Identities in Kazan

The paper aims to consider how, since the early 1990s, the city space of Kazan is shaped by different social actors. This paper assumes that a key influence on the process of social production of space in Kazan was the procedure of gaining autonomy after the collapse of the Soviet Union and the lo­cal variant of economic transformation into the global market system. From the beginning of the post-socialist transition, elites’ strategies were related to the politics of memory and the ideas of mul­ticulturalism and federalism. Consequently, Kazan underwent the process of reinventing of urban identity, and indigenization (by Hughes [2007] it was called Tatarazing) of city space. In the capital of Tatarstan the financialization of city space, accumulation through expropriation, and develop­ment by megaevents can be observed. Strategies of development enforced by elites are contested by city inhabitants and grassroots initiatives concentrated around the protection of architectural heritage. Centralized and hierarchical power in Tatarstan makes the grassroots initiatives’ demands possible by a collaboration with local elites.
