La emocionalidad en lo público: los dilemas de la indignación como origen de una nueva ética-política

Esta disertación constituye una reflexión acerca de la experiencia contemporánea de la indignación y su potencialidad de convertirse en alternativa para la comprensión y vivencia de lo político. En este sentido, se exploran aquí, las intersecciones de la manifestación social de la indignación con la irrupción de su novedosa realidad discursiva. Para ello, se reflexiona a través de la articulación conceptual de dos corrientes teóricas (las Teorías de la Emancipación y el Liberalismo Crítico) con la reflexión interpretativa de la indignación como experiencia que impacta los esquemas de sentido del hombre en el mundo contemporáneo. Esta perspectiva conduce a comprender que la experiencia de la indignación plantea en el escenario contemporáneo una nueva manera de concebir la condición humana y la acción en el mundo que formula una nueva visión ético-política.

Versioning Concept Schemes for Persistent Retrieval

Things change. Words change, meaning changes and use changes both words and meaning. In information access systems this means concept schemes such as thesauri or clas- sification schemes change. They always have. Concept schemes that have survived have evolved over time, moving from one version, often called an edition, to the next. If we want to manage how words and meanings - and as a conse- quence use - change in an effective manner, and if we want to be able to search across versions of concept schemes, we have to track these changes. This paper explores how we might expand SKOS, a World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) draft recommendation in order to do that kind of tracking.The Simple Knowledge Organization System (SKOS) Core Guide is sponsored by the Semantic Web Best Practices and Deployment Working Group. The second draft, edited by Alistair Miles and Dan Brickley, was issued in November 2005. SKOS is a “model for expressing the basic structure and content of concept schemes such as thesauri, classification schemes, subject heading lists, taxonomies, folksonomies, other types of controlled vocabulary and also concept schemes embedded in glossaries and terminologies” in RDF. How SKOS handles version in concept schemes is an open issue. The current draft guide suggests using OWL and DCTERMS as mechanisms for concept scheme revision.As it stands an editor of a concept scheme can make notes or declare in OWL that more than one version exists. This paper adds to the SKOS Core by introducing a tracking sys- tem for changes in concept schemes. We call this tracking system vocabulary ontogeny. Ontogeny is a biological term for the development of an organism during its lifetime. Here we use the ontogeny metaphor to describe how vocabularies change over their lifetime. Our purpose here is to create a conceptual mechanism that will track these changes and in so doing enhance information retrieval and prevent document loss through versioning, thereby enabling persistent retrieval.

Meaning in movement : a gestural design game

This paper describes a design game that we called 'Meaning in Movement'. The purpose was to explore notions of professional dental practice with dental practioners in terms of gestures, actions and movements. The game represents a first step towards involving gestures, actions and movements in a design dialog with practioners for the purpose of designing future interactive systems which are more appropriate to the type of skilful actions and richly structured environments of dentists and dental assistants.
