2010 | 414 Pages | ISBN: 1848210736 | PDF | 9 MB
Digital Cognitive Technologies is an interdisciplinary book which assesses the socio-technical stakes of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs), which are at the core of the Knowledge Society. This book addresses eight major issues, analyzed by authors writing from a Human and Social Science and a Science and Technology perspective. The contributions seek to explore whether and how ICTs are changing our perception of time, space, social structures and networks, document writing and dissemination, sense-making and interpretation, cooperation, politics, and the dynamics of collective activity (socio-informatics).Content: Chapter 1 Elements for a Digital Historiography (pages 1-21): Andrea IacovellaChapter 2 "In Search of Real Time" or Man Facing the Desire and Duty of Speed (pages 23-36): Luc Bonneville and Sylvie GrosjeanChapter 3 Narrativity Against Temporality: A Computational Model for Story Processing (pages 37-56): Eddie SoulierChapter 4 Are Virtual Maps Used for Orientation?
