Abstract:
AbstractService and digital transitions create a range of solutions by combining their features and introducing both human and automated agents as intermediaries. The paper classifies non/digital product/service and explores how these transitions change user involvement. A model is proposed to assess the user's role with human (service) and automated (digital) intermediaries. Utilizing user journey phases, the model is applied to four case studies, revealing commonalities in transition occurrences. Evidence suggest a potential adoption in design identifying the key phases per each transitions.

Abstract:
Who gets to define what counts as art when a genre is in flux? In the present analysis, I find that legitimated artists may also be able to act as intermediaries, such as critics and gatekeepers. In doing so, these artists-as-intermediaries, under certain conditions, can shift the meaning of the genre as it transitions. Using the current transition of drag performance from scene-based to industry-based genre as a case, I present a multistage qualitative analysis of televised and digital drag performance. I report three key findings from this analysis: (1) some legitimated artists can become intermediaries when their genre is in transition, (2) these legitimated artists-as-intermediaries can influence genre expectations, and (3) legitimated artists-as-intermediaries’ influence on genre expectations can, in turn, influence the creative expression of other artists. Each of the three findings, however, has the effect of limiting creativity of the artist-as-intermediary and future artists within the industry-based genre.

Abstract:
We note the emergence of a new type of intermediary organization, which functions at system or network level, in contrast to traditional intermediary organizations that operate mainly bilaterally. These "systemic intermediaries" are important in long-term and complex changes, such as "transitions" to sustainable development, which require the coordinated effort of industry, policy makers, research institutes and others. We use the Systems of Innovation approach to characterize the roles of traditional and systemic intermediary organizations. A review of recent changes in innovation systems points to the need of more systemic efforts, such as the articulation of needs and options, the alignment of relevant actors and the support of learning processes. In a phase model of transitions additional roles of systemic intermediaries are identified. A case study of the Californian Fuel Cell Partnership shows how the efforts of systemic intermediaries in encompassing systemic innovations are useful and necessary, but not sufficient.

Abstract:
Tourism is a major global and local industry creating value through services that are enhanced and enabled through intermediaries that support innovation in the sector. This exploratory case study examines the roles and activities of a publicly funded tourism innovation intermediary for small medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and professionals in Andalucia, Spain. We note the gap in knowledge on how intermediaries may best support stakeholders in achieving resilience and sustainability in transitions in tourism service ecosystems. Building on interviews, reports, and observations, this study finds that the intermediary has successfully supported its stakeholders in enhancing their adaptability in the current service ecosystem. There is less evidence of achieving deliberate transformations towards long-term sustainability and resilience. As the intermediary is uniquely positioned at the meso-level of the regional tourism service ecosystem, this study proposes exploring engagement to cover both macro and micro-level activities to enable moving towards becoming a transition intermediary and a regional sustainability catalyst. This study furthermore proposes an expanded range of roles and activities for the intermediary to enable moving towards resilience and sustainability, while contributing to the understanding of innovation intermediaries supporting sustainability in the tourism sector.

Abstract:
As the international community takes increasing action to mitigate the effects of climate change, increased focus has been placed on the topic of energy transitions in developing countries. This paper uses the multi-level perspective (MLP) framework to analyze the ongoing energy transition in Mongolia, specifically the integration of large-scale wind and solar energy systems. Attention is paid to the presence of transnational linkages and intermediaries that have substantially contributed to Mongolia’s success in diffusing renewable energy technology, as well as challenges Mongolia has faced as a result of limited technological and institutional capacity. The paper concludes that Mongolia’s transition shares many similarities with other developing countries’ transitions, in that transition dynamics are highly influenced by exogenous actors and interests, rather than traditional factors as described by the MLP.

Abstract:
Des initiatives territoriales d’accompagnement au changement sont mises en œuvre dans le cadre de projets de recherche transdisciplinaires et participatifs. Ces projets visent à reconcevoir des systèmes agri-alimentaires désirables et accessibles à l’ensemble de la population et à produire des connaissances pour favoriser la reproductibilité et l’efficacité de ces expérimentations. Cependant, la gouvernance de ces expérimentations suscite des débats, soulignant les défis démocratiques de ces espaces. L’étude des rouages de ces expérimentations permet d’éclairer la fabrique de leurs modes de gouvernance, en s’intéressant aux processus internes des projets de recherche participative, et à la mise en œuvre des accompagnements par ces collectifs transdisciplinaires. Ainsi, cette thèse explore la manière dont l’expérience d’une gouvernance démocratique transforme les pratiques des collectifs transdisciplinaires d’accompagnement au changement.Pour étudier ces transformations, un cadre conceptuel et analytique de gouvernance, inspiré du concept de démocratie créatrice de Dewey, est proposé. Ce cadre permet d’observer empiriquement ce qui se « fabrique » dans les expériences de transitions, en mettant l’accent sur les communautés, le care et les savoirs fabriqués. Un travail ethnographique a été mené durant trois ans au sein d’un projet de recherche-action porté par un collectif d’actrices du territoire et de chercheurs et chercheuses. Constituant un corpus d’entretiens, d’observations, de photographies et de documents écrits, l’enquête ethnographique s’est déployée à deux niveaux : le premier, celui du collectif de projet, le second, celui des accompagnements mis en œuvre par ce collectif auprès des habitant·es et de la restauration collective du territoire. Dans une perspective d’ethnographie combinatoire, le travail s’est resserré autour des actrices-animatrices qui coordonnent des accompagnements au sein et en dehors du projet de recherche participative : les chargées de mission, de projet, et d’animation qui accompagnent les transitions alimentaires. Par la production et l’analyse de deux monographies inscrites dans le cadre de l’ethnographie du projet de recherche participative, ce travail met en lumière le rôle d’intermédiaires de transition de ces animatrices à la fois dans les activités qu’elles mènent et dans les lieux dans lesquels elles travaillent et vivent. Au-delà du travail d’interfaçage sciences-sociétés, les animatrices produisent aussi un travail de maintenance des relations entre recherche et société, et essaiment des savoirs et des pratiques dans des réseaux pluriels. Elles redéfinissent les normes professionnelles de leur métier d’accompagnatrices et font face à des attentes et obligations rentrant en tension entre les différents acteurs des sphères territoriales, politiques, financières, publiques, de recherche. Enfin, ce travail montre comment la logique de projet encadre les relations recherche-société à travers la standardisation de la conduite de la recherche participative, la généralisation des financements par appel à projets et la gestion influencée par le New Public Management. Les modes d’organisation et de financement génèrent de l’incertitude sur la continuité des actions, et sur les processus de transitions. Ce travail de thèse explore la perméabilité entre des postures d’accompagnement, d’animation et de recherche, dans le contexte de transitions alimentaires durables. En travaillant une gouvernance démocratique et transdisciplinaire, l’accompagnement au changement offre des opportunités d’enquête politique dans lesquelles la démocratie est une disposition individuelle. La thèse ouvre des perspectives quant à la construction d’une éthique relationnelle au sein de dispositifs transdisciplinaires pour la mise en place d’une recherche soucieuse et solidaire
Local initiatives supporting change are implemented as part of transdisciplinary and participatory research projects. These projects aim to democratically redesign desirable and accessible agri-food systems for the entire population and to produce knowledge to enhance the reproducibility and effectiveness of these experiments. However, the governance of these experiments sparks debates, highlighting the democratic challenges of these spaces. Studying the mechanisms of these experiments sheds light on the creation of their governance modes by focusing on the internal processes of participatory research projects and the implementation of experiments by these transdisciplinary collectives. Thus, this thesis explores how the experience of democratic governance transforms the practices of transdisciplinary collectives supporting food change.To explore these transformations, a conceptual and analytical framework of governance is proposed, inspired by Dewey's concept of creative democracy. This framework empirically examines what is 'generated' in transition experiences, with a focus on communities, care and knowledge production. Ethnographic research was conducted over a three-year period as part of a research-action project led by local stakeholders and researchers. The ethnographic study, which included interviews, observations, photographs and written documents, was carried out at two levels: the project group itself, and the support the group provided to local residents and the catering services in the territory. Using a combinatorial ethnography approach, the study focused on facilitators who coordinate Food transitions experiments within and outside the participatory research project.Through the production and analysis of two monographs within the framework of the participatory research project ethnography, this work highlights the intermediary role of these facilitators in both the activities they conduct and the places where they work and live. They bridge science and society, maintain relationships between research and community, and disseminate knowledge and practices across different networks. These intermediaries redefine professional norms and navigate tensions between different stakeholders in the territorial, political, financial, public and research spheres. Finally, the work shows how the project logic framework shapes the relationship between research and society through standardised participatory research practices, the widespread use of project-based funding, and management influenced by New Public Management. These organisational and funding methods create uncertainty about the continuity of action and transition processes. The thesis explores the interplay between support, governance and research approaches in the context of sustainable food transitions. By focusing on democratic and transdisciplinary governance, support for change creates opportunities for political inquiry where democracy is an individual disposition. This work opens up perspectives for constructing relational ethics within transdisciplinary mechanisms for conducting research that is both caring and solidaristic

Abstract:
La transition vers un modèle durable de société peut être impulsée et pilotée grâce à des politiques publiques et favorisée par l’innovation. Pour autant, elle suppose des transformations qui dépassent largement l’innovation technologique à proprement parler. Or ces dynamiques de transition restent encore peu étudiées. Nous avons choisi d’analyser en profondeur deux cas d’innovation dans le secteur du recyclage. Nous mobilisons l’approche sociotechnique de la transition (Geels, 2002, 2011) pour éclairer les processus à l’œuvre et les dynamiques enclenchées. Cette perspective articule trois niveaux : le paysage, le régime sociotechnique et la niche sociotechnique. La niche sociotechnique constitue un espace qui permet d’initier des transformations et dans lequel l’innovation se développe de manière privilégiée. Des projets concrets peuvent y éclore et se consolider, protégés de la sélection du régime sociotechnique. Nous nous intéressons aux mécanismes de diffusion de la niche et aux transformations que cette dernière suscite au niveau du régime. Nous discutons certaines de ces notions à partir du matériau empirique constitué. Nous proposons notamment de distinguer les différents types d’intermédiaires de transition, qui contribuent à établir ce lien entre niche et régime
Innovation and public policies can help trigger and monitor sustainability transitions. This implies transformation processes that go beyond mere technological innovation. Such transition dynamics are still to be thoroughly analyzed. We chose to study two innovation cases within the recycling industry. We use the Multilevel Perspective (Geels, 2002, 2011) to shed light upon ongoing processes and dynamics. This literature makes links between three analytical levels: landscape, sociotechnical regime, and sociotechnical niche. The sociotechnical niche is a locus for emerging transformations and a space to shelter innovation development. Concrete projects can appear and strengthen while protected from regime selection. We focus on niche diffusion processes and regime transformation triggered by the niche. We discuss some notions upon empirical analysis and propose to draw a distinction between transition intermediaries and their contributions to the niche-regime link

Abstract:
Recognizing the responsibility businesses has in sustainable development, a rising number of entrepreneurs are attempting to innovate business models together with digital technology to address environmental and societal needs. Circular business models is an example of how businesses can become more sustainable. However, there is a growing phenomenon of entrepreneurs suggesting digital platforms as a supportive element in an enterprise to enable circular features. This research aims to investigate the role of a single entrepreneur as a transition intermediary to sustainable development by using digital platforms. Additionally, this research aims to explore the success factors and challenges this entrepreneur can uncover. Contrary to most studies, this thesis adopts the entrepreneur's perspective as being a key actor in sustainable development but also as an innovative force in a socio-technical system. A case study was conducted on the Swedish online secondhand store Sellpy. The qualitative data were collected using semi-structured interviews. Given the thesis' exploratory research design, the finding can be used in further research as artifacts for more conclusive and generalizing research. The entrepreneur, as a transition intermediary, can establish valuable partnerships and networks to accelerate circulation and sustainability awareness. Additionally, the entrepreneur can influence others by spreading knowledge to engage other entrepreneurs to innovate businesses towards sustainability. The main success factors found in this case study is the approach to develop with the user community, digital ownership, skilled and diverse workforce, and partnerships with similar businesses. The challenges discovered was to maintain and find new users to enter the circular system and the external skepticism towards sustainability-oriented businesses.

Abstract:
This chapter examines the workings of extended, Web-oriented communications commodity chains. It begins with a discussion of networks and access devices—an expansive, malleable infrastructure comprised of service, software, and applications powered by other intermediaries, vendors of everything from operating systems, browsers, search engines, and social networks to program content. It then considers how recomposition continued at a frenzied pace across this great range throughout the digital depression, signifying capital's scramble to open and to occupy high-profit boxes. It also explores the ways in which network infrastructures impacted a century-old manufacturing base and describes the apparently neutral technical feature of the emerging system's network engineering that attested to the changes that characterized the transition to the Internet. The chapter concludes with an assessment of the erosion of social responsibility around networks and how telecommunications liberalization induced a growing potential for market turmoil.

Full text
Abstract:
Born in 1900 in French West Africa, Malian writer Amadou Hampâté Bâ was one of the towering figures in the literature of twentieth-century Francophone Africa. In Amkoullel, the Fula Boy, Bâ tells in striking detail the story of his youth, which was set against the aftermath of war between the Fula and Toucouleur peoples and the installation of French colonialism. A master storyteller, Bâ recounts pivotal moments of his life, and the lives of his powerful and large family, from his first encounter with the white commandant through the torturous imprisonment of his stepfather and to his forced attendance at French school. He also charts a larger story of life prior to and at the height of French colonialism: interethnic conflicts, the clash between colonial schools and Islamic education, and the central role indigenous African intermediaries and interpreters played in the functioning of the colonial administration. Engrossing and novelistic, Amkoullel, the Fula Boy is an unparalleled rendering of an individual and society under transition as they face the upheavals of colonialism.

Abstract:
AbstractIn the midst of the climate crisis, growing demands for an acceleration of Europe’s transition to renewable energy have led to the institutionalization and “upscaling” of disparate and local practices of community energy. This chapter examines how new laws for “Renewable Energy Communities” (RECs) have so far been constructed and construed by an array of different technical experts who are key intermediaries for the diffusion of this legal innovation in the Portuguese energy sector. We enquire into how this new object has or has not been envisioned as a desirable and realistic response to the challenges of energy transition and climate change, and how it has been shaped by different imaginaries, discourses and social representations. In particular, we examine the spatial and temporal dimensions of these imaginaries and how expert actors anchor their visions in relation to “the common good.” By focusing on the spatial, temporal and moral dimensions of different expert representations of RECs, we aim to foreground the contingency of legal innovation and the critical moments where the polysemy of RECs and the plurality of scalar possibilities are opened up or closed down.

Abstract:
AbstractThis research investigates the case of the Joint Programming Initiative (JPI) Urban Europe and its role as an intermediary organization, developing research, and innovation programs for urban transition. In the literature, the role of an intermediary organization has recently been discussed as an effective promoter and developer of connecting visions, strategies, activities, and stakeholders. A conceptual approach to intermediary organizations for urban transition is operationalized, and its functions are discussed in this paper. As an example, the Joint Programming Initiative Urban Europe reveals how a transnational R&I initiative, represented by 20 national R&I programs in Europe, can provide scientific evidence for sustainable urbanization with a cross-sectoral, integrated, inter- and transdisciplinary approach implemented through activities beyond joint calls. The findings show that JPI Urban Europe acts as broker and facilitator of joint visions and starts to build communities for innovation, which is one of the important functions of intermediaries. The development of its Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda clearly followed a co-creation process, putting the dilemmas of city practitioners in the center. JPI Urban Europe managed to attract high levels of commitment from a diversity of stakeholders to its strategic priorities and mobilized respective budgets for its implementation. The analysis of JPI Urban Europe participation in funded projects shows that challenge-driven calls (putting the problem owners in the center) seems to successfully develop a common language for all stakeholders and has a higher likelihood to generate more transformative outcomes. The number of funded urban living labs in projects shows that room for experimentation in niches and their extension is provided. The number of city representatives as funded project partners could be increased to further stimulate active involvement. The JPI Urban Europe also acts as a translator and enabler for learning in the urban—as well as in the policy sphere—the third function. This can be confirmed by the number and type of organizations reached with its specific formats. JPI Urban Europe coordinates joint activities of mainly national R&I programs but has only indirect influence on change in these organizations and limited influence on changes within research organizations, businesses, or cities that are even less connected. Overall, it can be concluded that the strategic ambition of JPI Urban Europe towards transformative change is obvious, but some instruments and formats to translate the ambition into action need further refinement, and it needs further in-depth research to better understand the outcomes and impacts of its diverse activities.

The transient spectroscopy of the aqueous solvated electron has been the subject of intense experimental1-3 and theoretical4-8 interest recently. Hydrated electrons play an important role as intermediaries in the radiation chemistry of water, as well as in solution photochemistry and electron transfer reactions. Furthermore, the coupling of solvent fluctuations to the electronic absorption spectrum makes the hydrated electron an outstanding probe of electronic solvation dynamics in the aqueous environment. The optical absorption spectrum of the hydrated electron is comprised of three s->p like transitions which are highly broadened and split by coupling to solvent fluctuations.6

This research looks into Michael Sorkin’s urban images not only as vehicles of his universal guidelines for urban designs, but more critically as localized and situated instruments for social and environmental justice that manifest a coincidental parallel between China’s indigenous cultural psyche and Sorkin’s urban ideals. Since 2010, more than half of the Michael Sorkin Studio’s projects are based in China, including new city planning, river basin planning, infrastructure management, and massive residential complex designs. Although most of them remain on paper, these urban images function as intermediaries between theory and reality in their capability of visually incorporating unique local conditions with broad social arguments. This research frames foreign urban design projects as a virtual contact zone, where designers/theorists’ own background and ideals engage with the local socio-cultural context through hypothetical images that envision ideal conditions, and thus catalyze new urban solutions with both universality and situatedness. This study sees unbuilt proposal images beyond “failed” projects, and argues for the significance of these images as intermediaries between theory and reality in Sorkin’s genre for their capability of visually incorporating site- specific specificities. I first introduce Sorkin’s urban theories which claimed “the end(s) of urban design” and critiqued the existing urban spaces dominated by global capital and consumerism. I then discuss the “transitional” Chinese cities as a test field for Sorkin to experiment his urban ideals. Tracing clues of indigenous spatial forms that are adopted, transformed, and re-applied in Sorkin’s urban designs for China, I particularly investigate how traditional ways of life and self-emergent urban forms in China coincidentally run parallel to Sorkin’s urban ideals. This research thus explicates the potential of coincidental affinities between foreign urban ideals and local cultural conventions, with Sorkin’s work in China as an inspirational case that achieves both local and universal applicability in global urban studies

Abstract:
Isatin has been attracted the researchers attention due the structural versatility and can be used to synthesized other molecules with pharmacological activities. The Sandmeyer method is one of the most common methods for the synthesis of this molecule. Where the reaction with from aniline with chloral hydrate and hydroxyl amine occurs with good yield. When the same reaction is performed with dimethoxylated aniline show low yield or is not observed experimentally. These observations motivate this work and the justification for these facts are given in terms of thermodynamic parameters and by the intermediaries formed during the reactions. In this study, two steps with great relevance in the synthetic route were analyzed: the nucleophilic attack and the cyclization. For this, electronic structure calculations were carried out using the functional B3LYP and the base set 6-311+G(d). In all the three cases investigated were idenfied a transition state in nucleophilic attack. This result is not reported in the literature. The energy barriers found show that this step is determinant to kinetic reaction because can be considered the slow step (barrier energy around 38 kcal mol-1). Ciclization step was highly spontaneous in all the cases studied.

Abstract:
The wicked sustainability challenges of current socio-technical systems, crossing the planetary boundaries vital for human life, call for fundamental and radical change in the form of transitions. These sustainability transitions require a knowledge basis of relevant actors in the system, which intermediary structures organizing knowledge transfer can support. Over the last decades, sustainability researchers have not only increasingly studied the dynamics of transitions (Rip and Kemp 1998; Geels 2002; Papachristos et al. 2013), but have also gained insights on activities contributing to the acceleration of transitions and the sup-portive role of intermediaries in that regard (Wieczorek and Hekkert 2012; Kanda et al. 2018; Kivimaa et al. 2019). This paper revisits the literature on the dynamics of transitions, the activities of intermediaries in contributing in order to formulate implications of the characteristics of sustainable development and sustainability transitions and the related knowledge types for the organization of knowledge transfer by regional intermediaries.
