Niklas Luhmann and Jacques Ellul on the autonomy of technology

PurposeDrawing on the work of Niklas Luhmann, the paper argues that technology can be viewed as a self-referential system which is autonomous from both human beings and other function systems of society. The paper aims to develop a philosophy of technology from the work of Niklas Luhmann. To achieve this aim, it draws upon the systems-theory work of Jacques Ellul, a philosopher of technology who focuses on the autonomous potential of technological evolution.Design/methodology/approachThe paper draws on the work of Niklas Luhmann and Jacques Ellul to explore the theme of autonomous technology and what this means for our thinking about technological issues in the twenty-first century. Insights from these two thinkers and researchers working in the Luhmannian sociological tradition are applied to remote work.FindingsThe sociological approach of Luhmann, coupled with Ellul's insights into the autonomous nature of technology, can help us develop a systems theory of technology which takes seriously its irreducibility to human functions.Research limitations/implicationsThe paper contributes to the growing sociological literature that thematizes the Luhmannian approach to technology, helping us better understand this phenomenon and think in new ways about what technological autonomy means.Originality/valueThe paper brings together the work of Luhmann, Ellul and contemporary researchers to advance a new understanding of technology and technological communication.

KARMİK ADALET BİÇİMİNDE TOPLUMUN PARÇALANMIŞ AYNASI: AGATHA CHRISTIE'NİN AND THEN THERE WERE NONE ESERİ

Literature reflects and interprets the social structures, cultural norms, and power dynamics of the societies in which it is produced, making sociology and literature two fields that cross in many different ways. Studies of literature provide insightful analysis of contemporary social and cultural challenges. Nevertheless, the sociology of literature provides a framework for comprehending the intricate and dynamic connections between literature and society. We can better grasp how literary works can be utilized to analyze and critique the world around us by recognizing how they both reflect and shape social and cultural reality. Detective fiction often touches on a wide range of sociological issues and is an important genre that reflects the values, concerns, and anxieties of the societies in which they are written. One of the crime novels that best reflects social issues and karmic justice is And Then There Were None, one of Agatha Christie's most popular and enduring novels. It deals with issues that affect society such as justice, guilt, classism, racism, prejudice, redemption, and psychological trauma, revealing how society has degenerated.

Hvad er litteratursociologi?

Since its heyday in the 1960 and 70s, the sociology of literature has been declared dead and gone, yet research related to the field also seems to be reemerging in the first decades of the 21st century. Research relating to the field is scattered across other disciplines, such as literary studies, media studies and cultural studies; indeed, sociology of literature is “everywhere and nowhere”, as James English put it in 2010. But where is it now? Departing from recent perspectives on the sociology of literature by e.g. English, Wendy Griswold, and Johan Svedjedal, the article traces a brief history of the field and discusses future directions for the sociology of literature relating to current trends in literary studies and studies in book culture – including a recent attention towards uses of literature and methodological developments linked to digital methods as well as media-specific analysis and intermedial approaches to books and literature.

Meningen med metoden

The aim with the article is to trace the use of quantitative methods in literary studies in Sweden. Through the case of Karl Erik Rosengrens’ dissertation from 1968, the articles analyzes the discussions that the thesis generated during the 1960’s and 1970’s regarding questions on how to do literary studies, and how contemporary discussions about methods in sociology of literature can be said to be linked to a wider discussion about the discipline itself.

Litteraturen i NRK Fjernsynet 1960-64

From its start in august 1960 and for thirty years, NRK Television was the only tv-channel in Norway. This placed NRK in a powerful position, having control of cultural and literary dissemination both on the screen an in the broader public sphere. In this study, we have, with the help of program references, metadata from NRK and available programs in NRK's online archive, examined what literary programs or program parts were broadcasted in the first four tentative years, and in what ways this literature was made visible to viewers. Through a tentative categorization of the material, we arrive at a four-space model where we distinguish between performative and informative modes of presenting literature; while at the same time we find that the socio-cultural use of literature can be respectively autotelic or ritual. The categorization and the model are both discussed as possible supplements to the toolbox of the sociology of literature.

Litteratursociologi og kvantitative litteraturstudier

This article builds a case for how literary historiography can be given a crucial sociological perspective through the analytical possibilities offered by digital corpora and methods. Based on a corpus of almost 900 Danish and Norwegian novels published in Denmark between 1870 and 1900, we will test and illustrate how combining a field-analytical approach with more quantitative and data-driven analyses brings new perspectives to traditional literary sociology. Our case is the historical novel and its status and development in a period, the so-called "modern breakthrough" in Scandinavian literature, where, at first sight, it did not belong at all.

ESTETIKA PROFETIK DALAM NOVEL LAYALI TURKISTAN KARYA NAJIB AL-KAILANI

The policies of the Chinese and Russian colonizers on cross-marriage between Turkistan women and Chinese soldiers and merchants created separate social problems for the Turkistan people. Therefore, this study uses the tools of sociology of literature to dismantle prophetic aesthetics in the novel Layali Turkistan. This study tries to describe the prophetic aesthetics in the novel Layali Turkistan by Najib Kailani with the tools of literary sociology. The main focus of this research is to dismantle the process of dehumanization that occurred to the Turkistani people as a result of the Chinese and Russian communist invaders. The process of dehumanization creates a prophetic aesthetic in the form of humanization, liberation, and transcendence for the Turkmen people. This study used the descriptive-qualitative method. This method is used because the source of research data is in the form of textual data consisting of dialogs and statements in material objects. The results of this study show that, first, the humanization value is embodied by the character Naghmatullail by marrying the Chinese commander according to Islamic law, so that Naghmah easily instills humanistic values. Second, King Komul's decision to oppose and combat Chinese communist policies is a form of aesthetic liberation for the people of Turkistan. Third, when King Komul explains the essence of heaven, the divine consciousness is deeply embedded in the person of the Turkistan people.

Strategies for transnational projection through international book fairs

The following article aims to analyze the projection and representation of literary systems in some of the main international book fairs (IBF) at present, based on theoretical-methodological proposals from the Sociology of Literature and Culture (Bourdieu in ARSS 145, 3–8, 2002; Sapiro Translatio. Le marché de la traduction en France à l’heure de la mondialisation, CNRS Éditions, 2008; Even-Zohar, Polisistemas de Cultura. Laboratorio de investigación de la cultura, 2017). We begin with the hypothesis of considering IBFs as places for the acquisition of capital (literary, cultural, economic and symbolic) and for negotiating struggles for positions of greater or lesser centrality in the transnational literary field and in the world publishing market, and in terms of the image of countries, cultures, or cities. In those IBFs offering the position of Guest of Honor, this becomes a privileged opportunity—for governments, institutions and different actors involved in the book chain—for the international projection of the image of a country, culture, city or literary system. Different strategies for cultural and literary promotion in this worldwide scenario of symbolic goods will be discussed, with special attention to the case of Brazil (contrasted, partly, with that of Spain).

Non-urgent patients in emergency departments: Prioritisation, orientation, and selection through the prism of social sciences

Emergency departments overcrowding is often attributed to inappropriate use by patients who ought to be treated in primary care. This article challenges this assertion by examining the articulation of medical and social definitions of non-urgent patients within medical and sociological literature, and how they translate into prioritisation, selection and triage criteria. It shows that triage practices, which are necessary for prioritising life-threatening emergencies are not only based on clinical criteria, but also incorporate moral and social considerations which can lead to discrimination and hinder equitable access to care, particularly for the most vulnerable patients.

Pandangan Dunia Pengarang dalam Novel Pulang Karya Tere Liye

This study aims to describe the structural elements and the author's world view in the novel Pulang by Tere Liye. The data analysis technique uses the dialectical method which is a type of research in the sociology of literature through a genetic structuralism approach. The results of the study present an explanation of the structural elements of the novel Pulang by Tere Liye in the form of identifying the intrinsic elements (plot, characters, characterizations, setting, point of view, and themes) and the extrinsic elements of the novel (socio-economic background), the author's social life related to the novel ( background of personality, education, culture, and experience), and views of Tere Liye as the author of the novel Pulang (the reality of the shadow economy, the reality of domination and hegemony, moral and moral awareness, and the importance of education and family).

An Analysis on Ayaşlı ile Kiracıları (Ayaşlı and his Tenants) in Terms of Sociology of Literature

Edebiyat; insanı, hayatı bir başka deyişle toplumu konu alan bir sanat dalıdır. Sosyoloji ise toplumu inceleyen bir bilim dalı olarak ortaya çıkmıştır. Kaynağının insan ve toplum olması bu iki alanı birbirine yaklaştırmış, hatta edebiyat sosyolojisi adı verilen müstakil bir disiplinin ortaya çıkmasını sağlamıştır. Edebiyat sosyolojisi tarihsel gelişimini uzun bir süre içerisinde tamamlayarak edebiyat eleştirisinde ve sosyolojik çalışmalarda araştırmacıların bu alandan faydalanmasına olanak tanımıştır. Memduh Şevket Esendal, Cumhuriyet Dönemi Türk edebiyatında özellikle de hikâyeleri ile ön plana çıkan bir yazardır. Bununla birlikte Ayaşlı ile Kiracıları romanı yazarın bu türde de başarısını kanıtlamıştır. Romanda tesadüf sonucu bir araya gelen kişilerin bir apartmandaki hayatları ele alınır. Bu karakterler üzerinden toplumda yaşanan ahlaki yozlaşma dile getirilir. Her ne kadar yazarın konuyu ele alırken tarafsız bir tutum takındığı düşünülse de romanda yozlaşmış kahramanların başına gelen felaketler, kötülerin bilinçli bir şekilde cezalandırıldığını düşündürmektedir. Bütün bu veriler üst üste konduğunda roman edebiyat sosyolojisi açısından incelenmeye değer görülmüştür. Bu çalışmada Memduh Şevket Esendal’ın Ayaşlı ile Kiracıları romanı sosyolojik açıdan incelenmiştir.

Gangs and the Gig Economy: Triads, Precarity and Illicit Work in Hong Kong

Abstract Paid employment in the criminal economy is, in many ways, the essence of precarious labour yet to date criminological work on the so-called ‘gig economy’ is scarce. Here we apply emergent sociological literature on ‘post-Fordist’ working cultures to precarious youth employment in Hong Kong, arguing: (1) recent reorganizations of labour markets towards flexible entrepreneurship are mirrored in the illicit economy; (2) a shift in structural features of triad gangs has led to a parallel form of ‘network sociality’; and (3) triad-affiliated youth remained rooted in place-based ‘communities of practice’ that form a point of difference from existing theory. In concluding, we reflect on the implications of these arguments for the study of illicit economies, triads and post-Fordist working cultures.

Review of “The Political Economy of Organ Transplantation: Where do Organs Come from?”

This thought-provoking work examines how the relationships of organs, tissues, and cells transferred from one body to another through donation, sale, or gift are mediated by the state, market, and family. The book is a thorough review of the sociological, anthropological, and ethical literature surrounding transplant organs but encased within the author’s own personal dilemmas and lived experience. His work skillfully underscores the negotiations and accommodations inherent in the use of these technologies and reveals the situatedness of decisions that belie any simplistic readings of the ethics of transplantations. Hagai Boas, himself a kidney transplantee, argues that the two main approaches in the social sciences to transplantation are driven largely by metaphors obscuring the difference between transplantation and trafficking: the first from critical medical anthropology that has focused primarily upon trafficking and equated transplantation with black market exchanges; and the other from transplantation medicine which has framed transplants primarily in terms of gift metaphors. Although I felt his characterizations of the anthropological literature failed to place it within its context (i.e. studies of subaltern donors in low income settings), he notes such discourses hide the situatedness of decisions about transplants, the realities of organ scarcity, the needs of patients who face eventual inevitable organ rejection, and the ability of organ transplantation to enhance the quality of life of transplantees and save lives. Rather, his path between these utopian and dystopic views of transplantation requires paying close attention to the political economy of transplanted organs as entities that are curated, prepared, and transferred from the bodies from which they are taken to the bodies in whom they are transplanted. He argues that organ transplantation is mediated by social institutions: the state (through regulations, donor registry schemes, and allocations); the market (in which organs are valued and may be sold and paid for); the family (who may offer organs to family members, or make decisions to finance transplants), or any combination of the three. This allows him to demonstrate how the mobility of organs and access to transplants is shaped by very specific social, cultural, legal, and political circumstances.

SOCIAL PROBLEMS IN EKA KURNIAWAN’S NOVEL CANTIK ITU LUKA

The research is related to social problems. People's lives are actually changing with the times. In the process of the changing, sometimes unexpected conditions arise or should not occur. This unexpected condition gradually becomes a polemic and has a negative impact on people's lives. This condition is called a social problem. Social problems cannot be ignored because they can disrupt global economic and political stability. The discussion of this research focuses on two social problems: poverty and prostitution. Poverty is the condition of a person who has no wealth, lacks, or has very low income and of course cannot fulfill his daily needs; while poverty is also closely related to prostitution. One can become a prostitute because of poverty or circumstances. Prostitution is a sexual activity outside the institution of marriage and is generally carried out by women. These two social problems can be found not only in the novel but also in the real world; so the sociology of literature is used as an approach in this research. The whole research is conducted using a qualitative descriptive method because the focus of the research is related to social problems. The results of the analysis show that this novel provides two descriptions of social problems: poverty and prostitution and these two social problems are clearly illustrated through the data obtained from the novel.

Consecration and meritocracy in elite business schools: The case of a Swedish student union.

Sociologists are paying increasing attention to the business and financial elites that control today's global economy; indeed, there's a great need to understand who these elites are, what they do, and what makes them tick, as individuals, and as a class. But we also need to understand how the economic elites aremade in the current social and economic system, and one significant way of doing this, is by examining elite business schools, that is, the institutions that aim to train and prepare people to assume important leadership and decision-making positions in business, finance and related sectors of critical importance to the management of modern capitalism. Based on the notion of consecration, I empirically examine how the student union of Sweden's premier business school, The Stockholm School of Economics, offers its members a learning environment partly separated from the school, and how this semi-independent organization contributes to making undergraduate students socially, morally and esthetically meritorious for elite jobs in primarily management consulting and finance; a process that is largely shaped by corporate actors that participate formally and informally in the student union activities. The paper contributes to the sociological literature on business schools and higher education and elites, both theoretically through the twin notions of meritocracy and consecration, and empirically through its unique focus on student union activities in an elite business school setting.
