This paper aims go ahead in bringing back the ontological distinction and dialectical interaction between theconcepts of City (Polis) and the Urban (Urbs), something relatively clear in the ancient Latin Languages butnowadays certainly blurred, both, in the domestic public life as in the currently academic language, over-ruled by the American English. To undertake this task up we go back until Aristotle Politics to confront hissense of Polis (City) with the concept that on the City have some sociological and urbanism classical authors.Then, retaking the works of Henry Lefebvre (Right to the City), Manuel Castells (The city and the Grassroots)and David Harvey (The limits to Capital), we propose a preliminary and under construction concept of City,different from Urbs , as “political and sociological unity with limited spatial and temporal coherence”.
Technology hasn’t diminished the social quality of listening to music.
By Daniel A. Gross March 10, 2016
DANCING BY YOURSELF: Critics who lament that “silent discos” symbolize individualism and the breakdown of community are missing the full picture of music’s social powers.
"Technology hasn’t diminished the social bonds of music. On the contrary, we’ve created and adapted technology to enhance them."
Paul Mason i Guardian, bygger på Grundrisse. Hans bok: Postcapitalism is published by Allen Lane on 30 July.
"Postcapitalism is possible because of three major changes information technology has brought about in the past 25 years. First, it has reduced the need for work, blurred the edges between work and free time and loosened the relationship between work and wages. The coming wave of automation, currently stalled because our social infrastructure cannot bear the consequences, will hugely diminish the amount of work needed – not just to subsist but to provide a decent life for all."
"By creating millions of networked people, financially exploited but with the whole of human intelligence one thumb-swipe away, info-capitalism has created a new agent of change in history: the educated and connected human being."
Sirkku Hellsten:
"Itse asiassa juuri se, että kommunitaristinen ajattelu perustaa argumenttinsa niin moniin erilaisiin filosofisiin lähteisiin ja ilmenee niin monissa muodoissa eri puolilla maailmaa todistaa oikeaksi sellaisten kommunitarismin teoreetikoiden kuin Alasdair MacIntyren, Michael Walzerin, Michael Sandelin tai Charles Taylorin esittämän keskeisen deskriptiivisen kommunitarismin hypoteesin, jonka mukaan kaikki meidän omaksumamme arvot sekä moraalinen identiteettimme ovat aina tavalla tai toisella sidoksissa siihen yhteiskuntajärjestelmään ja kulttuuriin, jonka piiriin me olemme syntyneet ja jonka vaikutuksen alaisina kasvaneet.
Tämän hypoteesin vakavasti ottaminen tarkoittaa sitä, että yksilökeskeisessä ja liberalistisessa yhteiskunnassa syntynyt kommunitaristinen ajattelu on aina välttämättä normatiivisesti idnividualistisempaa kuin jo alunperin kollektivistisemmassa kulttuurissa syntynyt yhteisöllisen etiikan ajaminen. Niinpä amerikkalaisella ja vaikkapa afrikkalaisella kommunitarismilla ei, ironista kyllä, enää normatiivisesta näkökulmasta voi olla kovinkaan paljon yhteisiä poliittisia arvoja.
Itse asiassa selviä poliittisia painotuseroja löytyy jo länsimaisen kommunitarismin sisälläkin. Ehkä kaikkein keskeisin ero vaikkapa amerikkalaisen ja eurooppalaisen kommunitaristisen ajattelun välillä on siinä, että eurooppalaisessa ajattelussa aktiiviseksi yhteisöllisiksi toimijaksi nousee kansallisvaltio siinä, missä amerikkalaiset kommunitaristit korostavat nimenomaan pienempien valtion sisäisten yhteisöiden kuten naapuriyhteisöjen, työpaikkayhteisöjen, vapaaehtoisjärjestöjen ja perheiden merkitystä moraalisina kasvattajina ja toimijoina."

Using Trideux factorial correspondence analysis and Calliope co-occurrence of key word analysis, we apply them to the data base of key words characterizing each research article or ongoing research report published by the Bulletin of Sociological Methodology (BSM) from December 1993 to October 2003. We present the results of these analyses, followed by the complete list of tables of contents, the author index and the article-title index for the articles and reports analyzed.
