Cultural heritage institutions can contribute to public knowledge and increase awareness of their collections by uploading digital objects to Wikimedia Commons for use on Wikipedia and other Wikimedia Foundation projects. However, prior research has established the difficulty of and/or hesitation by many cultural heritage institutions in clearly and accurately labeling the copyright status of their born-digital and digitized collections. With this knowledge, how likely is it that digital cultural heritage will be findable and usable on Wikimedia Commons? This study seeks to determine how accurate rights statements for cultural heritage objects on Wikimedia Commons are, and whether inaccuracies can be linked to problematic rights statements in cultural heritage digital libraries or whether the inaccuracies stem from Wikimedia Commons. By evaluating the rights statements, licenses, and sources for 308 Wikimedia Commons objects from 57 cultural heritage organizations and comparing that information to corresponding licenses from digital libraries, we can begin to develop best practices and educational needs for digital librarians, archives, museum curators, and Wikipedians alike to improve the user experience for those using digital cultural heritage on Wikimedia projects.

Full textAbstract:
Culture is the medium through which human capabilities are transmitted. In this respect, culture may be understood as a commons that is consequential to the future of other forms of commons. Regenerating the commons is inherently and intrinsically associated with democratizing and partnering. The commons of shared meanings that enable truth telling are exploitable by the market when education is dominated by the market. If educational institutions are at the behest of the market and the state, education can neither be a commons nor be in the service of the commons. We can frame this circumstance as an enclosure of learning. Transformative learning facilitates a shifting from the mindset of exploiting the commons to a mindset of regenerating the commons. In fact, the core transformation that occurs in transformative learning is the liberation of awareness from identity enclosure. Such a liberation prepares the ground for growing partnership capabilities from the intimate to the global, essential for preserving and regenerating the commons. An education that transforms seeks to re-sacralize and regenerate culture as a commons, which can then enable partnership-based care towards all other forms of commons.

Full textAbstract:
The following work constitutes an inquiry into the economic, social and political composition of what are commonly known as the cultural or creative industries. My aim is to provide a critique of the discursive origins, political dimensions, economic models and subjective constructions that shape the complex set of practices and discourses that comprise the creative industries. To do so, this work looks into the production of a set of schemes, policies, plans, economic models, modes of labour, regulations and discourses that have been designed in order to transform cultural practices into economic activities. I will contextualize these transformations within a general framework of what has been branded ‘cognitive capitalism’, acknowledging that this process needs to be understood with reference to the neoliberalization of the wider economy through focusing on a set of changes in the nature of labour, value and creativity. I then attempt to understand the ecosystem in which the creative industries are enmeshed. In order to do so, I will discuss the notion of the cultural commons: the pools of collective ideas and knowledge from which these enterprises capture their raw material. Not only will this give an understanding of the nature of the sources of knowledge and ideas that feed the creative industries but will also to provide a good opportunity to understand the communities, objects and relations that shape them. Finally there is a discussion on the tensions, bifurcations and alternatives that escape the hegemonic economic models promoted by policy. This will open up possibilities in which to think of forms of self-organization and commons-based cultural enterprises that might provide new spaces in which the economy and culture can meet.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractMaasai pastoral landholdings presently collectively held and managed under group ranch tenure arrangement are increasingly under pressure to subdivide and privatize. Subsequent processes of defining, administering, allocating and securing land rights and associated resources within pastoral landholdings has remained largely contentious. The complex interplay between market forces, state bureaucracy (policy, legal and administrative framework), customary value systems and institutions in the process of allocating land rights against a backdrop of competing land-use options and mounting population pressure provides the setting for unpacking the dynamics of land related graft.This thesis presents new data to analyze emerging and increasing incidences of practices and activities that could generally be described as 'corrupt' in the process of subdivision and privatization of pastoral commons. Understanding the roles, interests and strategies of different social actors and institutions – local group ranch members, group ranch officials, ministry of lands officials, private sector investors (conservationists, tourism sector players, land surveyors, lawyers) - during the land subdivision processes, seen in the light of historical and current social, economic, and political trajectories, can help deepen our understanding of land related corruption and its likely impact on future land use trends and local livelihoods. In particular, community conservation initiatives driven by private sector investors, local community members' unfamiliarity with functioning of the state bureaucracy and personal agency in rent seeking tendencies inevitably have the strongest influence on social equity with respect to land and associated resources within the GR context.. However, the increase in land related graft is not a simple function of the shortfalls arising from market inequity and state inefficiency related outcomes. They are as much influenced by carry-over of practices of indigenous value systems on resource distribution based on reciprocity. These findings are relevant not only for Maji moto group ranch and group ranches adjacent to Maasai Mara game reserve, but also for pastoral livelihood and land-use options elsewhere in Kenya and sub-Saharan Africa<br>RésuméLes propriétés foncières pastorales Maasai actuellement détenues et gérées collectivement sous arrangement « mandat ranch de groupe sont de plus en plus sous pression de parcelisation et privatisation. Les processus ultérieurs de définition, d'administration, affectation et sécurisation des droits fonciers et des ressources connexes au sein de propriétés foncières pastorales sont restés largement controversés. L'interaction complexe entre les forces du marché, la bureaucratie d'État (politique, cadre juridique et administratif), les systèmes de valeurs et institutions coutumiers dans le processus d'allocation des droits fonciers dans un contexte d'options concurrentes d'utilisation des terres et la pression démographique offrent un cadre pour le déballage de la dynamique de corruption liée à la terre. Cette thèse présente de nouvelles données qui analysent l'émergence et l'augmentation de l'incidence des pratiques et des activités qui pourraient généralement être décrites comme «corrompues» dans le processus de lotissement et de privatisation des biens communs pastoraux Comprendre les rôles, intérêts et stratégies des différents acteurs sociaux et institutions - membres locaux du groupe de ranchs, responsables de ranchs, fonctionnaires du ministère des terres, investisseurs du secteur privé ( écologistes, acteurs du secteur du tourisme, arpenteurs-géomètres, avocats) - pendant le déroulement du processus de lotissement, considérés à la lumière des trajectoires sociales actuelles et historiques, économiques et politiques, peuvent aider à approfondir notre compréhension de la corruption liée à la terre et son impact probable sur les tendances futures d'utilisation des terres et des moyens de subsistance locaux. En particulier, les initiatives de conservation communautaires stimulées par les investisseurs du secteur privé, la méconnaissance du fonctionnement de la bureaucratie étatique par les membres des collectivités locales et les actions personnelles dans les efforts de recherche de rentes ont inévitablement une plus forte influence sur l'équité sociale par rapport à la terre et aux ressources associées dans le contexte GR. Cependant, l'augmentation des griefs liés à la terre ne provient pas simplement des déficits résultant de l'inégalité du marché et de l'incapacité de l'Etat à atteindre les résultats attendus. Mais, ils sont aussi très influencés par les pratiques de systèmes de valeurs autochtones relatives à la répartition des ressources fondées sur la réciprocité. Ces conclusions sont pertinentes non seulement pour le groupe de ranchs Maji Moto et des ranchs collectifs adjacents à la réserve de chasse Masaï Mara, mais aussi pour les moyens de subsistance pastoraux et des options d'utilisation des terres ailleurs au Kenya et en Afrique subsaharienne.

Full textAbstract:
‘The commons’ is a concept originating from the traditional shared use of land, but which now often refers to any social asset, physical or abstract, that is shared. This research concerns one aspect of the commons, namely the knowledge commons. The thesis explores community roles in developing and sustaining cultural institutions as key components of the knowledge commons. It focuses particularly on processes of participatory design, and on the capacity of digital technologies to support community engagement. The study takes place across the cultural contexts of the State of Victoria (Australia) and Singapore. The three key aims of the thesis are to explore in what ways and to what extent: I. The emerging concept of the knowledge commons relates to the role of cultural institutions as systems for the creation and sharing of sustainable knowledge resources by their communities. II. The notion of participative design may be applicable to the ongoing development of such systems as multi-stakeholder partnerships to meet community needs. III. Differences in national culture may affect the generality of such an analysis. The research design employs literature analysis and multiple case studies as a basis for proposing new theorisations and an analytical tool to assist future action by cultural institutions and relevant communities. The main perspective used in framing the literature analysis and case studies is Giddens’ structuration theory. Structuration sees the continuing interplay between social action and social structure as the means by which the cultural patternings known as institutions are recursively produced. A complementary perspective used is Hofstede’s model of cultural dimensions. Other theorists from a range of disciplines provide perspectives on particular concepts or aspects, such as the commons and participatory design. Five chapters are headed ‘Foundations’. These seek to explicate key dimensions of the research, namely the knowledge commons, community knowledge, cultural institutions, participatory design, and the cultural contexts of Victoria and Singapore. Four chapters are headed ‘Case Study’ and deal with individual cultural institutions, or clusters of institutions, which were the sites of exploratory enquiry (generally consisting of interviews and observation, but in the case of Museum Victoria also elements of action research). The cultural institutions covered by these chapters are Museum Victoria/Women on Farms Gathering, the Asian Civilisations Museum, Public Libraries in Victoria and Public Libraries in Singapore. These insights are analysed to propose a series of related typologies. The coverage of these typologies includes resource characteristics, collective processes, and cultural dimensions. The typologies come together as components of an integrated, explanatory conceptual model concerning the relationships between the commons, cultural institutions, communities, collective processes (including the role of information and communication technologies) and participatory design within cultural institutions. In the final chapter answers are formulated for the initiating research questions. Also the integrated model developed by the thesis is used as the basis for a proposed analytical tool to assist action towards enhanced community engagement in the development of cultural institutions. Use of the tool is illustrated by application to several examples of collective action encountered during the research.

Full textAbstract:
The 21st Century’s living and working environment has been transformed by technological advancements, and affected by the trends of globalisation, financial restriction and citizen participation. In response, many information and cultural organisations [memory institutions] such as galleries, libraries, archives and museums are converging aspects of their collections, services and management. This convergence may be physical or virtual, and the subsequent evolution of operations has implications for sites, staff and users. This research explores the theory and practice of convergence as it is impacting upon a particular group and domain of memory institutions, namely public libraries in Western Australia. In addition there is a focus on the interrelationship of convergence with professional and institutional identity, and with the emerging concept of the information and social commons.The research consists of two principal forms of data collection. Firstly, a survey canvassing the opinions of Western Australian public librarians; and secondly, case studies undertaken in four Western Australian local government areas.The findings from these two methods are used to form recommendations for the best operation of a converged memory institution (CMI). Convergence is suggested as particularly appropriate at the local level, and libraries are recommended as the anchoring domain in a CMI, to maximise social capital and form a community hub. This thesis acknowledges the challenging and complex nature of convergence, but argues that as memory institutions converge they improve the delivery of information and cultural services via the optimisation of collectionutility and process efficiency. Thus greater information and social benefits are achieved, and the value and relevance of the collecting sector is reinforced.

Full textAbstract:
Commercial fisheries on the West Coast are traditionally managed under large-scale management and conservation plans implemented by state and federal agencies. This scale of management can present obstacles for fishing communities. This thesis examines emerging cases of attempts to define and implement sustainable management of commercial fisheries under a community-based co-management model. In Port Orford, Sitka, San Diego and Santa Barbara, preliminary community-based co-management models are enabling fishing communities to pursue social sustainability through preserving access, participating in local science, and direct marketing for fish products. These communities are actively reshaping traditional models of conceptualizing and managing common-pool resources like fisheries.

Full textAbstract:
Great effort is being made to get Europe out of its economic crisis and prepare the European economy for the next decade. The aims of the Digital Agenda are to give all Europeans basic broadband by 2013 and to ensure that by 2020 all Europeans have access to much higher internet speeds. Can DTN technology contribute to achieving these targets in rural and remote areas? In the N4C project DTN technology has taken a step toward these goals and been proven viable. This licentiate thesis is meant to suggest business and governance models suitable for the N4C DTN-based internet access, the test beds and the applications. The focus is on reviewing and assessing business models for Open Source Software (OSS) and offering solutions for testing whether DTN-based internet access can be governed in an economic association as an ICT commons.Gender and cultural considerations in N4C business and deployment development are analysed. It is shown that to improve the gender balance special measures need to be considered. It is concluded that in countries such as Sweden, where women have almost the same ICT take-up and usage as men, i.e., women are good ICT-consumers, their role as entrepreneurs, developers and participants in governance of ICT infrastructure needs to be improved.Ostrom’s eight design principles for governing, with division of roles into appropriators, producers and providers, have been tested on N4C in the entity of an economic association, with illuminating results. However, when such governance models are used in projects like N4C, they cannot be transferred outright, as the appropriation from the internet is different from withdrawal of resources from other types of commons. It was found that the provision formulas, especially for labour, are important, because in the N4C DTN-based internet access the producer in the model is often acting as a “data mule,” transporting the code. To assure gender-inclusive governance when economic associations are being used, Ostrom’s eight design principles for governing is proposed to be surrounded with special measures.<br><p>Godkänd; 2011; 20111006 (barfra); LICENTIATSEMINARIUM Ämnesområde: Människa-maskin med inriktning mot genusforskning/Man Machine Relation Focusing Gender Examinator: Docent Maria Udén, Institutionen för ekonomi, teknik och samhälle, Luleå tekniska universitet Diskutant: Universitetslektor Annica Sandström, Institutionen för ekonomi, teknik och samhälle, Luleå tekniska universitet Tid: Fredag den 11 november 2011 kl 13.00 Plats: Taylor F719, Luleå tekniska universitet</p>

Full textAbstract:
A perennial challenge in efforts to deal with environmental issues is the question of how to simplify. As such, where and when one simplifies is often a source of conflict, but perversely also paramount to finding a solution. This thesis focuses on one long-standing environmental issue, the whaling debate. Specifically, it performs a strategically sited microethnography of Faroese whaling, grindadráp, exploring linkages between actions on local and international scales. This thesis aims to contribute to environmental sociological efforts to analyse and resolve complex socio-environmental problems. The five papers that together constitute this thesis collectively provide a description of grindadráp from the local scale of the bays where pilot whales are killed to the international forums where whaling as a whole remains an issue at the heart of an on-going, deadlocked conflict. Primarily based on three months’ fieldwork in the Faroe Islands, this thesis combines observation, interviews, media and other literature. The theoretical lenses employed are that of the ‘ontological turn’ and the ‘theory of sociocultural viability’ (cultural theory). The former utilised as a tool for ethnographic practice with the latter used to analyse how different perspectives on reality manifest throughout the whaling conflict. This thesis demonstrates that grindadráp has changed through time as a result of the interactions between actors with different views on the matter at hand. However, in contrast to the global whaling debate, this interaction has been mostly constructive, with appropriate changes in practice ensuring grindadráp’s continued popularity within the Faroe Islands. Furthermore, its continuation will likely depend on grindadráp’s continued ability to balance different perspectives. This thesis thus echoes environmental sociological calls for improved dialogue in the framing and resolution of environmental disputes, suggesting that cultural theory provides a tool that balances relativism and pragmatism in dealing with complex environmental problems.

Pouthier, François. "La place de la culture dans les Parcs naturels régionaux : contribution ou condition du développement territorial ?" Thesis, Bordeaux 3, 2020. http://www.theses.fr/2020BOR30015.
Full textAbstract:
Les Parcs naturels régionaux ont cinquante ans. Leurs missions sont de protéger et mettre en valeur des territoires habités à dominante rurale présentant un intérêt particulier pour la qualité de leurs patrimoines naturels et culturels. Pour cela, ils conjuguent un projet qui rassemble habitants et leurs représentants, un périmètre spatial politico-administratif en continuelle ré-interrogation formalisé par un contrat non prescriptif – une charte –, et un programme d’actions évaluables dans une durée déterminée. La culture y est posée comme moteur du projet de territoire. En croisant les sciences de l’espace, issues de la géographie béhavioriste et du socio-cognitivisme, les sciences humaines – l’ethnologie, la sociologie, la philosophie et l’histoire – et les sciences économiques et du politique, la recherche interroge si leurs interventions culturelles ont participé à la production du(des) territoire(s), soit en apportant une contribution soit en s’imposant comme une condition. Pour se faire, elle décline la notion de « l’agir territorial » (FAVORY, 2003) où cultures et territorialité sont analysées comme des construits socio-politiques. Les actions patrimoniales et leur adhésion au référentiel du développement durable ont transformé les Parcs de gestionnaire en « assembliers » et substitué à la seule médiation patrimoniale et culturelle, une médiation territoriale. Pour cela, sont apparus de nouveaux passeurs : les artistes. Les Parcs ont alors jeté les bases d’une « coproduction culturelle de l’action socio-territoriale ». Cette « transactionnalité » (GIDDENS, 1987) a généré des inters – inter collectivité, inter sectorialité, inter culturalité – « dans » et « entre » les collectivités, « dans » et « entre » les personnes privées et publiques. Ils sont un préalable à une fabrication de « communs culturels territoriaux » qui empruntent leur formule économique à celle qui régit le développement local. Ils fournissent un principe unificateur qui dissout les tensions originelles entre culture(s) et nature suivant le même phénomène que celui de la « créolisation » (GLISSANT, 2001), c’est-à-dire en débouchant non sur un mélange uniformisant ou conflictuel mais sur des recompositions respectives de leurs postures culturelles, susceptibles de réviser leurs systèmes de références et d’agir en communs. Leur résilience se cache dans leur existant, selon le principe pragmatique de « rétro innovation » (MAGNAGHI, 2003). Le résultat de la recherche nous amène alors à émettre une modélisation nommée « l’agir culturel territorial en communs » et à définir une (ad)équation, combinant développement territorial, « communs » et droits culturels<br>Regional Nature Parks have turned fifty. Their missions are to protect and enhance inhabited areas with a predominantly rural character and which are of particular interest for the quality of their natural and cultural heritage. In order to do this, they combine a project that brings together inhabitants and their representatives, a political-administrative spatial perimeter that is constantly being re-interrogated and formalized by a non-prescriptive contract - a charter -, and a programme of actions that can be evaluated within a fixed period of time. Culture is set as the driving force of the territorial project. By combining space sciences (derived from behavioral geography and socio-cognitivism), social sciences (ethnology, sociology, philosophy and history) and economic and political sciences, the research questions whether their cultural interventions have contributed to the production of territory/ies, either by making a contribution or by imposing themselves as a condition. In order to do so, it applies the notion of "territorial action" (FAVORY, 2003) where cultures and territoriality are analyzed as socio-political constructs. Heritage actions and their adherence to the sustainable development reference system have transformed parks from managers to "assemblers" and have replaced the sole heritage and cultural mediation, with territorial mediation. To do this, new facilitators have appeared: artists. Parks then laid the foundations for a "cultural co-production of socio-territorial action". This "transactionality" (GIDDENS, 1987) generated "inters" - inter-community, inter-sector, inter-culture - "in" and "between" communities, "in" and "between" private and public persons. They are a prerequisite for the creation of "territorial cultural commons" that borrow their economic formula from that which governs local development. They provide a unifying principle that dissolves the original tensions between culture(s) and nature, following the same phenomenon as that of "creolization" (GLISSANT, 2001), i.e. by leading not to a unifying or conflictual mixture but to respective recompositions of their cultural postures, likely to revise their systems of reference and act as commons. Their resilience is hidden in their existing, according to the pragmatic principle of "retro innovation" (MAGNAGHI, 2003). The result of the research leads us to develop a model called "territorial cultural action in common" and to define an (ad)equation combining territorial development, "commons" and cultural rights

Full textAbstract:
Notre étude analyse les projets de socle commun (entre 1993 et 2006) et de tronc commun (entre 1944 et 1977) sous l’angle d’une tension entre deux formes antagonistes de démocratisation de l’école : démocratisation de la sélection et démocratisation de la réussite.Nous montrons que le socle commun institutionnel (2005-2006) ne parvient finalement pas à s’extraire du référentiel de démocratisation ségrégative caractéristique du système éducatif français. Cette logique de sélection se retrouve dans la conception d’un tronc commun que l’on repère, par exemple, dans les réformes de 1959 et 1963 ainsi que dans l’évolution du collège unique.À l’opposé, le socle commun proposé par la commission Thélot s’inscrit dans un paradigme de démocratisation de la réussite qui trouve des racines dans une tradition idéologique que nous pouvons observer à travers des projets tels que ceux définis, par exemple, par la commission Langevin-Wallon ou le ministre René Billères. Par-delà leurs différences d’approche, de contexte historique, d’objectifs en termes de réforme, le point commun est à situer dans l’élargissement de la culture commune allié à une redéfinition de la scolarité obligatoire intégrant dans le curriculum ordinaire les élèves dont le niveau est jugé faible. De ce point de vue, l’indispensable pour chacun ne peut être acquis que dans le cadre d’une culture pour tous<br>Our study analyzes the projects of common core (between 1993 and 2006) and core curriculum (between 1944 and 1977) from a double perspective: “democratization of selection” and “democratization of success”.On the opposite side from the institutional common core (2005-2006) which failed in getting out of the system of reference which is characteristic of the segregationist democratization of the French education system, the common core put forward by the Thélot committee is in keeping with a paradigm of “democratization of success”, the latter taking roots in a philosophical tradition which can be found in projects such as those defined by the Education minister René Billères (1956-1958) or the Langevin-Wallon committee. Beyond their different approaches, historical contexts or goals, the common point is the widening of a common culture for all, beyond an academic angle, which tend to promote a logic of selection.From the “democratization of success” point of view, the essential for everyone can only be gained within the framework of a “culture for all”

Full textAbstract:
This paper introduces research from a special topics seminar that explores the incorporation of collective intermediate space (also referred to as gray space and the intermediate commons), as a possible alternative to the isolated condition of most housing design arrangements in North America. Gray space is most easily understood as the transitional intermediate space prior to entering or after exiting a domestic space to the public domain. These spaces often blur the line between public and private space; inside and outside; formal and informal; are truly multi-functional and can be defined by the end user. One of the primary objectives of this course is to understand the historic and vernacular foundations of housing and architecture’s relationship to public space and the commons through its various conditions and to grasp how this relationship has changed across various contexts over time. This research aims to have the following impact. (1) To visually analyze and assess spatial challenges and opportunities within three vernacular types. This analysis evaluates the social and material qualities of space provided within the domestic type, and the clarity of its connection to the intermediate commons. (2) To examine the local context of these types and how architecture has had a role in cultivating the shared cultural identity and community of the place. (3) To expand upon the use of visual research and visual communication to tell a cohesive narrative of place. In short, the intermediate commons can be understood as spatial, architectural, and tactile, but must also be recognized as a space for social innovation and radical openness. Collective Domestic: Theorizing the Intermediate Commons asserts that the sequestered and heteronormative condition of current developer-driven housing trends can be countered through the proper activation of gray space in housing.

Basis for culture tourism with the European Culture Route Fortified Monuments FORTE CULTURA®." In FORTMED2020 - Defensive Architecture of the Mediterranean. Universitat Politàcnica de València, 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.4995/fortmed2020.2020.11394.
Full textAbstract:
Fortresses are architectural pearls, cultural sites, event locations, experience places and memorials, mostly situated at breath-taking places on mountains, rivers or in the under-ground. Fortresses are monuments of common European history, they mirror the past into the present, connect cultures and offer deep insights into the historical conflicts. Fortified monuments are part of what makes Europe unique and attractive. This cultural heritage has to be preserved and made accessible for the culture tourism at the same time. The Iberian fortified heritage has big potential for new culture touristic topics and travel routes away from mass tourism. Therefore, cultural routes are a useful instrument. The European Culture Route Fortified Monuments –FORTE CULTURA®– is the European umbrella brand for fortress tourism. It offers useful instruments for international marketing of fortified monuments. The implementation of the attractive architectura militaris of the Iberian Peninsula into the culture route FORTE CULTURA® makes it possible to network this culture asset touristically, make it visible and experienceable on international tourism markets and market it Europe-wide. By implementing a new touristic regional brand “FORTE CULTURA – Iberian Fortified Heritage” the qualified culture tourism will be addressed. This supports a balance between over and under presented monuments and extends the sphere of activity of local actors onto whole Europe.

La presente comunicación tiene el objetivo de informar los resultados de la tesis doctoral presentada en el departamento de Historia del Arte de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid en diciembre de 2020, intitulada “Del lienzo a la pantalla digital. La experiencia del museo en la era de la intermediación electrónica”, bien como presentar el proyecto “Abre-te Código”, primer hackathon de datos culturales abiertos de Brasil, realizado en cooperación con el “Coding da Vinci” en Alemania.En la actualidad, el vínculo entre la coyuntura social y la evolución técnica vigente ha generado una intersección inédita entre la cultura y la tecnología, propagando en efecto un cambio en la creación de la identidad cultural y en las relaciones del sujeto con la obra de arte. La investigación doctoral tuvo como objetivo observar la pantalla digital como elemento de mediación entre las instituciones culturales y los nuevos públicos, bien como la creación de vínculos entre ellos a través de la utilización de dispositivos tecnológicos. ¿Cómo pueden las colecciones hacerse visibles y accesibles a las partes interesadas en el entorno virtual? ¿Cómo se pueden preparar los contenidos digitales para que también lleguen a quienes no tenían puntos de intersección con los museos? A través de la pantalla digital, la imagen trasciende la materialidad y se presentan conceptos nuevos para la historia del arte, como pro ejemplo las ruinas digitales.A través del distanciamiento social generado por la pandemia, la visita virtual fue el escenario principal de los cambios en las instituciones culturales y como en un Renacimiento digital, el arte y la cultura, al lado de la ciencia, pasan a ser valorados como prácticas fundamentales para el cotidiano. En este contexto, “Abre-te Código” reunió quince de las principales instituciones culturales de Brasil, entre la Fundación Bienal de São Paulo y el Museu Nacional, que con el apoyo de organizaciones internacionales como el Goethe-Institut, Creative Commons y Wikimedia Foundation, pudieron publicar por primera vez datos de sus colecciones mediante una licencia abierta, con el fin de posibilitar su uso creativo y generar una mayor visibilidad y acceso a las respectivas colecciones. En el ámbito del proyecto, fueron discutidos, en la teoría e en la practica, temas como los prerrequisitos tecnológicos, legales y de recursos humanos necesarios en el escenario del sur global, para que las oportunidades que ofrece la digitalización puedan realmente llegar a ser disfrutadas por el público.

Full textAbstract:
Culture is a multifaceted, complex process which consists of knowledge, art, morals, customs, skills and habits. Based on this point of view of Tylor, we can say that the culture is the human in the society, his learning styles and the technical or artistic products that originate from these learning styles, in other words, the content. In antropology it is argued that when the concept of culture is considered as a component in a social system, the combination of the social and cultural areas form the socio-cultural system. Approaches that handle culture within the socio-cultural system are functionalism (Malinowski), structural-functionalism (Radliffe-Brown), historical-extensionist (Kluckhohn, Krober), environmental adaptive (White), while the approaches that treat culture as a system of thought are cognitive (Goodenough), structural (Levi Strauss) and symbolic (Geertz) approaches. In addition to these approaches that evaluate cultures specific to communities, another definition is made according to the learning time: Margeret Mead, Cofigurative Culture. In order to evaluate today’s societies in terms of culture, we are observing a new culture which has cofigurative features under the influence of convergent technologies (mobile, cloud technology, robots, virtual reality): Digital Culture. This study aims to discuss the characteristics of the digital culture, which is observed after the theoretic approaches that define different cultures in cross-cultural communication (Hofstede’s Cultural Dimension and Cofigurative Culture) and called as network society by Manual Castells and accelerated during the Covid19 pandemic, in other words the common communication culture. Common cultural features will be studied through methods of semiology and text analysis upon digital contents which are starting to take hold of cross-cultural communication, a comparison between cross-cultural communication and communicative ecology will be made, the alteration in the cultural features of the society will be examined via visual and written findings obtained.

Full textAbstract:
The core values of traditional Chinese Confucian culture such as “five virtues”, “five cardinal relationships”, and the thought of “golden mean” exert significant influence on East Asian culture, including Chinese, Japanese, and Korean cultures. In recent years, with the rapid development of the studies of cultural psychology in East Asian cultural circles, it is necessary to conduct the theoretical constructs to integrate the common psychological characteristics in East Asian cultural circle. The theoretical constructs of East Asian Cultural Psychology regard the impacts of traditional Confucian culture on East Asian culture and the individual as its core, and focus on self-construal, self-esteem, self-enhancement, collectivism, the differences of relationship and class, and the thinking of “golden mean” among the East Asians as the key constructs of the theoretical framework.

Full textAbstract:
An instrument for capitalizing on multiculturalism in the European space is the European currency – the euro. Through the common European currency – euro, materialized through coins, but also banknotes, according to us, non-assimilative cultural integration is pursued, in order to establish a common supra-ethnic identity and, at the same time, preserve the national specificity. €0 banknotes represent both a collection object and a set of cultural-educational tools, which are meant to promote historical events, notorious personalities, memorable places from the cultural-historical treasury of national cultures. The €0 banknotes from Romania illustrated on the obverse priceless elements of the Romanian cultural heritage, promoted in this way in the European cultural universe. The connection of Romanian culture with the universal European cultural space is made through the reverse side of the souvenir banknotes. The European currency, materialized through European banknotes with and without monetary value, is an effective and original tool for promoting national and international culture in the development of education, national tourism, cultural dimensions in multicultural and international contexts. In turn, collectible banknotes, including €0 banknotes, can be used with maximum efficiency as a collector's item for numismatists, a souvenir for tourists, a promotional item for entrepreneurs, a gift for friends, authentic and interdisciplinary teaching material for teachers.

Full textAbstract:
Online learning programs have become more accessible to a wide range of learners all over the world. This raises the question whether differences between various groups are taken into consideration in the design of these programs. While new devices and technologies make learning more readily available, ignoring cultural issues can lead to a total breakdown of communication. This study aims to investigate how issues of culture should influence instructional design of online courses. Globalization of education led to a need to consider cultural diversity as an important factor in the adoption and effectiveness of learning. This is enhanced by the fact that e-learning breaks time and space barriers, being available to students from any geographical area, interacting outside the boundaries of a common context. Learners have the opportunity to study anytime, anywhere. Universities are becoming more open to international students; some are setting branch campuses in different parts of the world. Multinational organizations have offices in different countries, staffed with local employees, who need to work in a similar way with their colleagues all over the world. Interdisciplinary teams are required to work together and find a common language. In all cases, instructional designers are creating courses for people from a different culture than their own, and often for heterogeneous audiences coming from a multitude of cultures, each student needing to transfer what they learn into their own context. The paper defines culture, starting from Hofstede’s five dimensions characterizing national cultures (Hofstede, 1996), and argues that in the context of online learning the notion of culture should be extended to include other cultural models, apart from the national one, such as organizational culture and professional groups culture (Schein, 1990). Acknowledging that culture means more than nationality, and individuals often belong to more than one culture (Collis, 1999) helps paint a complex situation which the instructional designer must deal with. Given the complexity of the context presented above, the present study investigates how do models of instructional design take into account cultural diversity, by answering the following research questions: • Should instructional design take into account cultural aspects at all? • Should instructional design strive for a culture-free product? • How can the instructional design model incorporate awareness of cultural issues? • What are the implications for instructional designers and their professional development? A fairly wide range of responses and models are suggested by the literature (and are detailed in the full paper), but the responsibility of choosing and applying them lies with the instructional designer. Since culture is a relatively new concern in the field of instructional design, few of these models were applied in contexts significant enough in order to generate solid recommendations or to indicate an obvious choice. This situation makes the decision of instructional designers even more difficult. The voices of instructional designers are also presented, combining the results of the study did by Rogers, Graham and Mayes (2007) into instructional designers creating courses for students from various national cultures, with the results of a case study research conducted by the author regarding instructional designers working for learners from various organizational and professional cultures. Recommendations into further research connected to the issues identified conclude the paper.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract: Effective establishment of cross-cultural communication is a prerequisite for business success, regardless of the field in which it is organized or already exists. The issue ap-pears especially relevant against the background of the rapid development of infor-mation technologies, digitalization, socialization, and globalization of business. Cross-cultural communication is a process of information exchange among repre-sentatives of different cultures, which aims to establish mutual understanding through the achievement of conformity of different culturally determined value sys-tems. As the sector of information technology grows ever more complex, Information Technology (IT) professionals are called upon daily to explain technology applications to coworkers from other departments, managers, and customers. Building effective cross-cultural communication within an IT company and establishing the right communication links with stakeholders affect the effectiveness of management deci-sions both at the operational and strategic levels. Barriers to the formation of cross-cultural communication skills in the IT industry include IT professionals being used to working in isolation or functioning within tight-knit teams, differing work expectations, varying values and customs, and different levels of technological knowledge. Formation of cross-cultural communication skills should create a basis for effective establishment of communication in the development team, providing sup-port for the common organization of the group work on the processing of general in-formation and information linked to the project, creating conditions for collaborative software development, and promoting the formation and development of corporate culture in IT companies.

Full textAbstract:
There are close relationships between the cultural structures of societies and residential areas. The place where the society chooses to live and the ways it is organized is an expression of the cultural structure. Traditional houses are accepted as the most obvious indicator of this situation. One of the ways of preserving cultural sustainability today is to read the design principles of these houses correctly. Culture is about what kind of environment people live in and how they live. Human behaviors are based on cultural references. Religion, view of life and perceptions of the environment are both dialectically shaped culture and shaped by culture. Culture is about where and how human meets his needs throughout his life. It can be said that culture is one of the basic factors that direct human behavior and life. Therefore, the cultural embedding of sustainability thought is important in shaping the world in which future generations will live. Regarding various cultures in the literature; the structure of the society, their way of life and how they shape their places of residence, etc. there are many studies. The riches that each culture possesses are considered to be indisputable. These important studies are mostly based on an in-depth analysis of that culture, concentrating on a single specific culture. In this study, it is aimed to make a more holistic analysis by examining more than one culture. Thanks to this holistic perspective, it is thought that it will be possible to make inferences that can be considered as common to all societies. This study, which especially focuses on Asian and African societies, is the tendency of these societies to maintain their cultural structure compared to other societies. The reflections of cultural practices on residential spaces are examined through various examples. The dialectical structure of Berber houses, integration of Chinese houses with natural environmental references, Toroja houses associated with the genealogy in Indonesia, etc. examples will be examined in the context of cultural sustainability in this study. With this holistic approach, where the basic philosophy of cultural sustainability can be obtained, important references can be obtained in the design of today's residences.

Full textAbstract:
Access to affordable healthcare remains a challenge in rural, hard-to-reach areas of Zimbabwe due to centralised resources, deteriorating infrastructure, limited access to digital resources, internet and lack of reliable electricity supply. These barriers hinder equal access to basic healthcare and undermine democratic principles of inclusivity and participation. This report, based on empirical observations, explores how AI and digital technologies can beleveraged to alleviate these challenges in women’s reproductive healthcare, drawing on participatory fieldwork in Matabeleland South and Masvingo provinces in Zimbabwe. Findings reveal systemic barriers like limited internet access, high costs, and low digital literacy, but communities expressed strong interest in using digital tools to access healthcare information and reduce costs associated with travelling to distant physical clinics. However, concerns about cultural sensitivity and dependency on foreign technologies were also highlighted as opportunities for inclusion of local knowledge and actors. Recommendations include decentralising resources, integrating indigenous knowledge systems, creating shared digital commons, and advocating for community inclusion in global healthcare governance.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Workplace bullying is a severe and widespread occupational problem that negatively affects individuals, organizations, and societies. Studies have shown that national culture influences the way bullying is understood and experienced across different countries. However, our understanding of the cross-cultural variations in workplace bullying is still lacking. This study aimed to compare nurses’ experiences of workplace bullying in two culturally distinct countries: Turkey and Sweden. Methods: Using a qualitative design, semi-structured interviews were conducted with nurses (21 Turkish, 16 Swedish) who identified themselves as targets and/or bystanders of workplace bullying. Data were collected during 2019/2020 and analyzed using the deductive content analysis method. Results: There were many similarities between the Turkish and Swedish nurses in their reports of the most common types, antecedents, effects of, and target responses to workplace bullying. Differences were observed between countries concerning the source of bullying and in bystander responses. Conclusion: The findings emphasize that workplace bullying is a serious problem in the nursing profession across cultures and attention should be paid to cultural factors in understanding the varying bullying-related experiences of nurses. Healthcare organizations should therefore consider developing tailor-made interventions that fit their local cultural contexts to deal with workplace bullying in a more effective way.

Dudoit, Alain. European common data spaces: a structuring initiative that is both necessary and adaptable to Canada. CIRANO, 2023. http://dx.doi.org/10.54932/skhp9567.
Full textAbstract:
Faced with the acceleration of the digital economy, the governance and effective sharing of data have become fundamental issues for public policy at all levels of jurisdictions and in all areas of human activity. This paper reviews the initiatives and challenges associated with data governance, with a particular focus on the European Common Data Spaces (ECDS) and their direct relevance to the Canadian context. It explores the inherent complexity of data governance, which must reconcile sector-specificities with more horizontal governance principles. In doing so, it highlights the importance of strategic and coordinated action to maximize the social and economic benefits of data. The Burgundy Report, published by CIRANO in July 2023, calls for the creation of a common data space in the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Strategic Trade Corridor by 2030. This proposal builds in particular on three separate policy reports published in 2022 by the National Supply Chain Task Force, the Council of Ministers Responsible for Transportation and Highway Safety (COMT) and the House of Commons Standing Committee on Transportation, Infrastructure and Communities. The findings and recommendations of these reports raise fundamental questions that are central to the critical issues of governance, organizational culture, execution capacity, public and private stakeholder engagement, and data underutilization within the Canadian government machinery strained by years of delay and exacerbated by recent disruptions related to anticipated climate disasters. The creation of a common data space is envisaged as a structuring investment in Canada's essential infrastructure for intermodal transport and the supply chain. This working paper on European Common Data Spaces (ECDS) extends the synthesis and recommendations published last July 2023 by providing an operational analysis of the transformative initiative currently underway within the European Union (EU). This major policy development stems from the 2020 European Data Strategy and seeks to establish twelve common data spaces in strategic sectors, including mobility and transport. The document is divided into three main parts. The first part provides an overview of data-related public policies in Canada and the EU between 2018 and 2023. The second part focuses on the implications and lessons learned from the impact assessment supporting the adoption of data governance legislation by the European institutions. This directive establishes a regulatory framework for the creation of common data spaces in the EU. The third section discusses the current deployment of ECDSs, highlighting key milestones and ongoing processes. The paper highlights notable similarities between the EU and Canada in the identification of data issues and the formulation of public policy objectives. It also highlights differences in optimizing data sharing between jurisdictions and stakeholders. A fundamental difference between these two strategic partners is the absence of an effective and sustained pooling of resources within the Canadian intergovernmental machinery in pursuit of common objectives in the face of major shared challenges such as data accessibility and sharing. This situation is in stark contrast to the EU's groundbreaking deployment of the ECDS in pursuit of identical objectives of positioning itself as a world leader in the data economy. This lack of consideration, let alone joint action, by Canada's intergovernmental machinery to implement a common data strategy in Canada is damaging. To be effective, the Canadian response must be agile, results-oriented, and interoperable across jurisdictions. The rigorous management, responsible use, and organized sharing of data within and between jurisdictions are crucial to addressing the complex challenges and major risks facing Canada. Neither the federal nor provincial governments are currently well positioned to treat data as a shared strategic asset. The resolution of regulatory, legal, and technical obstacles to data exchange between jurisdictions and organizations cannot be achieved without the creation of a common data space. This can only be achieved by combining the necessary tools and infrastructures, and by addressing issues of trust, for example by means of common rules drawn up for this purpose. “The barriers that prevent the establishment of robust health data sharing systems are not technical, but rather fundamentally political and cultural.”
