Full textAbstract:
In this article, we examine metaphors in economics, specifically looking at the term capital and its family of metaphors, and investigate the role they play in a capitalist economy. Serving as a means of communicating complex ideas and outstripping their literal meanings, metaphors become a part of the developing knowledge in a discipline. We demonstrate how a metaphor constitutes an active interchange between a word and the complex idea it signifies, and, by extension, the formation of yet another idea results. We show how, from the parent metaphors capital and capitalism, there developed a number of derivative (i.e., sibling or relational) metaphors that describe the different functions and forms of capital in capitalism. And we point out metaphors related to different types of goods and property that exist in a capitalist economy. Are the family of metaphors of capital helpful or harmful to capitalism? To the extent that metaphors enrich and expand its language, we submit that they do indeed contribute to the survival of the capitalist society which spawns them.

In the post-industrial economy, the efficiency of scientific knowledge generation becomes crucial. Researchers began to interpret knowledge as a factor of economic growth in the second half of the 20th century; since then, within the theory of economics and management, various approaches have been developed to study the impact of knowledge on economic growth and performance. With time, the focus of knowledge-based theories shifted from corporate management to macrosystems and economic policy. The article describes the main stages in the development of socio-economic concepts of knowledge and analyzes the theoretical and methodological aspects of each approach. The authors have also formulated the critical problems in the analysis of the economic category of knowledge at the present stage and suggested ways of overcoming them. The article may be of interest both to researchers and practitioners in the sphere of corporate strategies and economic policy.

This review essay on the books New Directions in Comparative Capitalisms Research and The Future of Capitalism After the Financial Crisis uses the prism of ‘travelling theory’ to appraise whether both edited volumes meet their proclaimed aim to challenge the alleged reductionisms inherent in the Comparative Capitalisms (CC) research and reinvigorate the CC agenda's radical potential to analyse contemporary capitalism in critical and global perspectives. The verdict is affirmative as both volumes (i) introduce new as well as forgotten approaches to combined inter-spatial and inter-temporal comparisons into the CC literature, which then (ii) allows for the rediscovery of a multitude of roads to (knowledge about) really existing capitalisms. However, the essay urges some of the authors to avoid tracing capitalism only at its worst, which leads to an exaggerated intellectual pessimism and fatalism. Finally, putting both volumes into the context of post-socialist Central and Eastern European (CEE) capitalism, the review documents the continuing relevance of empirical discoveries in CEE for developing an expanded critical-global CC scholarship.

Abstract: The spread of “capitalism” from West to East not only brought knowledge of an economic model but also offered nations a new path for development. This expansion was met by the rise of the socialist revolutionary movement, which aimed to overthrow the capitalist political and economic system. This article examines the concept of “capitalism” in the context of the debate on socialism. By studying the elaborations of Ziben zhuyi (capitalism) by its proponents and opponents, as well as the debate-related expressions proposed by later scholars in different contexts, this study reflects on the politicization of “capitalism”, the complexity of its meaning, and the degree of political ideology in its implementation. Based on the analysis of relevant papers on the debate, it concludes that (1) as a highly politicized concept, “capitalism” reflects intellectuals’ assumptions regarding China’s future and the evolution of its political ideologies; (2) “capitalism” has a complicated conceptual connotation, and it is necessary to consider its many aspects to present the full picture of what people think about it; and (3) the degree of capitalist ideology varies in different periods and contexts.

Le Nouvel Esprit du capitalisme føjer sig imidlertid til andre forsøg på at forstå de aktuelle transformationer af økonomien og kapitalismen. Med deres fokus på kapitalismens nye ånd ser Boltanski og Chiapello delvist bort fra de økonomiske transformationer af kapitalismen som akkumulationsregime. Tesen er, at deres analyse derfor med held kan komplementeres med indsigterne fra et andet ambitiøst forsøg på at forstå den nye form for kapitalisme – nemlig teserne om den såkaldte kognitive kapitalisme.
ENGELSK ABSTRACT:
Jens Erik Kristensen: The New Spirit of Capitalism and the Shedding of the Economic
Boltanski and Chiapello must be credited for rehabilitating the category of ca-pitalism and capitalism critique in a sociological and post-Marxist context. However Le nouvel ésprit du capitalisme follows other attempts to understand the current transformations of the economy and of capitalism itself. In their focus on the new spirit of capitalism Boltanski and Chiapello ignore in part the eco-nomic transformations of capitalism as a regime of accumulation. The thesis of this article, therefore, is that their analysis can be complemented with insights from another ambitious attempt to understand the new forms of capitalism – namely the theses on the so-called cognitive capitalism.
Key words: New spirit of capitalism, cognitive capitalism, knowledge economy, the immaterial, exploitation, network.

Full textAbstract:
Surveillance capitalism is what happened when US democracy stood down. Two decades later, it fails any reasonable test of responsible global stewardship of digital information and communications. The abdication of the world’s information spaces to surveillance capitalism has become the meta-crisis of every republic because it obstructs solutions to all other crises. The surveillance capitalist giants–Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon, Microsoft, and their ecosystems–now constitute a sweeping political-economic institutional order that exerts oligopolistic control over most digital information and communication spaces, systems, and processes. The commodification of human behavior operationalized in the secret massive-scale extraction of human-generated data is the foundation of surveillance capitalism’s two-decade arc of institutional development. However, when revenue derives from commodification of the human, the classic economic equation is scrambled. Imperative economic operations entail accretions of governance functions and impose substantial social harms. Concentration of economic power produces collateral concentrations of governance and social powers. Oligopoly in the economic realm shades into oligarchy in the societal realm. Society’s ability to respond to these developments is thwarted by category errors. Governance incursions and social harms such as control over AI or rampant disinformation are too frequently seen as distinct crises and siloed, each with its own specialists and prescriptions, rather than understood as organic effects of causal economic operations. In contrast, this paper explores surveillance capitalism as a unified field of institutional development. Its four already visible stages of development are examined through a two-decade lens on expanding economic operations and their societal effects, including extraction and the wholesale destruction of privacy, the consequences of blindness-by-design in human-to-human communications, the rise of AI dominance and epistemic inequality, novel achievements in remote behavioral actuation such as the Trump 2016 campaign, and Apple-Google’s leverage of digital infrastructure control to subjugate democratic governments desperate to fight a pandemic. Structurally, each stage creates the conditions and constructs the scaffolding for the next, and each builds on what went before. Substantively, each stage is characterized by three vectors of accomplishment: novel economic operations, governance carve-outs, and fresh social harms. These three dimensions weave together across time in a unified architecture of institutional development. Later-stage harms are revealed as effects of the foundational-stage economic operations required for commodification of the human. Surveillance capitalism’s development is understood in the context of a larger contest with the democratic order—the only competing institutional order that poses an existential threat. The democratic order retains the legitimate authority to contradict, interrupt, and abolish surveillance capitalism’s foundational operations. Its unique advantages include the ability to inspire action and the necessary power to make, impose, and enforce the rule of law. While the liberal democracies have begun to engage with the challenges of regulating today’s privately owned information spaces, I argue that regulation of institutionalized processes that are innately catastrophic for democratic societies cannot produce desired outcomes. The unified field perspective suggests that effective democratic contradiction aimed at eliminating later-stage harms, such as “disinformation,” depends upon the abolition and reinvention of the early-stage economic operations that operationalize the commodification of the human, the source from which such harms originate. The clash of institutional orders is a death match over the politics of knowledge in the digital century. Surveillance capitalism’s antidemocratic economic imperatives produce a zero-sum dynamic in which the deepening order of surveillance capitalism propagates democratic disorder and deinstitutionalization. Without new public institutions, charters of rights, and legal frameworks purpose-built for a democratic digital century, citizens march naked, easy prey for all who steal and hunt with human data. Only one of these contesting orders will emerge with the authority and power to rule, while the other will drift into deinstitutionalization, its functions absorbed by the victor. Will these contradictions ultimately defeat surveillance capitalism, or will democracy suffer the greater injury? It is possible to have surveillance capitalism, and it is possible to have a democracy. It is not possible to have both.

Jeon, Heesang. "Knowledge and contemporary capitalism in light of Marx's value theory." Thesis, SOAS, University of London, 2018. http://eprints.soas.ac.uk/26177/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis has two purposes. The first is to offer a critique of existing accounts of knowledge in contemporary capitalism. On the one hand, knowledge-based models of new growth theory are criticised for privileging some aspects of knowledge whilst endogenising it on the basis of a neoclassical framing; many restrictions are placed upon knowledge, in general, and its utilisation and diffusion, in particular. On the other hand, the bold argument of cognitive capitalism theory, that contemporary capitalism is undergoing a transition to a new stage of capitalism and therefore Marx's value theory has lost its validity, is shown to be based on flawed understandings of value theory. Externalities play essential roles in both new growth theory and cognitive capitalism theory, each being a theory of use value, although there is no place for externalities as such in Marx's value theory. Especially, for cognitive capitalism theory, unpaid life activities are seen to contribute significantly to production, with surplus being appropriated by capital as rent, which can and should be re-appropriated as basic income. The latter is, however, understood in cognitive capitalism theory as factor remuneration derived from the production of surplus products and, in this respect, it has an affinity with neoclassical economics despite its purported commitment to Marx's method. The second purpose is to incorporate the role of knowledge into Marx's value theory in a consistent and coherent manner. Criticising the two contending approaches in the South Korean controversy on the value and price of information commodities, this thesis puts forward an alternative based on a structural distinction between knowledge and commodities. It is demonstrated that knowledge affects the determination of the productivity and complexity of (collective) commodityproducing labour within and across sectors, respectively, and therefore takes part in the determination of the value of commodities. This social process of virtual multiplication of labour is a relatively abstract formulation of the role of knowledge in contemporary capitalism, but it also provides a logical foundation upon which more concrete and complex, and constructive, theories of knowledge can be built.

Full textAbstract:
Geriatric Education Centers (GECs), as funded by the Health Resources and Services Administration, promote interdisciplinary geriatric education and training for more than 35 health-professions disciplines including medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, nursing, and social work. GECs are charged with becoming self-sustaining beyond the period of their funding. Sustainability in this application means that a GEC can fund itself through the generation of multiple revenue sources. This study seeks to explore changes in the structure, activities, and relationships of GECs over time in their pursuit of sustainability, and hypothesizes that GECs have shifted from the old economy, or the public good knowledge regime, to the new economy, or the academic capitalist knowledge/learning regime, and from the manufacturing to the networking economy. The theoretical framework of academic capitalism and the knowledge/learning regime will be used as a lens in this qualitative multiple case study.Sources included structured, in-depth, on-site interviews and observations, as well as documentary and virtual (website) evidence. While GECs are engaging in market-like behaviors, creating markets and circuits of knowledge, developing interstitial and intermediary organizations, and expanding managerial capacity, they have been unable to connect with related markets, as these markets lack a profit motive, and have ultimately been unsuccessful in their pursuit of sustainability. Continued federal funding for GECs is justified based on the public good argument that without public encouragement, these services would not be provided by the private sector. The study concludes with recommendations to enhance opportunity structures for GECs.

Full textAbstract:
This doctoral project examines the knowledge economy as understood under the hypothesis of cognitive capitalism and its impact on contemporary social art practice, in particular the educational turn in art, taking account of its conditions of production within the local site of official art education at an elite university. In a counter movement, this research searches for the 'becoming cognitive of labour', a peculiar quality of the present transition, where knowledge production and the reconfiguration of labour intersect within the overshadowing hypothesis of cognitive capitalism. In response to contemporary approaches assigned to knowledge production, appropriation of the general intellect and the educational paradigm, as a practice-led research project, I devised three performative interventions premised on aestheticised withdrawal (taking account of exodus theorists) and agonistic tendency (radical negativity) to take risks and to 'struggle within and strategically against' the institution, drawing on the radical pedagogy of Paolo Freire who created an approach to emancipatory education through which to transform systems of oppression and inequality, the self-governing frameworks of the educator Ivan Illich, and Jacques Rancière who locates oppression and subjection in the noble act of 'explication'. Drawing on this, I've pursued a novel form of 'writing as activism' that allowed me to unravel dividing points between the practice of art and its theory, critically engaging with and dismantling the academic form of essay through a process of streaking, rupture and montage. As a 'work of words', this allowed me to integrate the practice and theory in one, where the thesis is withdrawn and does not make an appearance. The practice of art determines the theoretical conditions and critical context, but is not subordinate to these conditions. In this way I could construct something meaningful and complex in an unconventional way that requires other ways of reading and interpretation. I disembark from the recent field of expanded academia and the 'educational turn' in art and curating, approbated by cultural theorists and artists since the mid 1990's. While addressing the current crisis in neoliberal education and its direct link to cognitive capitalism's knowledge enclosures, in which the doctorate in art was fiercely debated, these modes of emancipatory educational 'turning' seldom found traction inside the official educational art institution itself. Rather, as an expanded idea of the academy, these critical strategies were articulated through the global museum and biennale. However, if we are to maintain that the university is the critical core of the public realm, rather than escaping it or allowing ideological contention and dissensus to be smoothed over and disciplined, this research - in and through art as 'struggle' and as 'a process of intelligibility' - re-thinks the educational turn in art by opening up and maintaining a space of crisis and critical relationship with its institutional conditions of production and the forms of labour sustaining it as it emerges from academia itself. Using a gendered agonistic research method with its attendant discourse of resistance, I expose how gender is made invisibile within the flattening paradigm of immaterial labour and its overarching frame of cognitive capitalism. I explore how the production and reproduction of knowledge can be organised and made common and how it might break with capitalist capture, how a resistant form of knowledge production might be found on the frontier of the university. Through a dramatisation of practice that is a compelling instance of the theory, I explore an alternative production of knowledge - a (becoming) learning process where the subject 'I', who is constituted in language, talks back, a mode of counter speech as a condition of my agency and potentiality. It is in, at, and around the official educational site of the university that I make an inquiry into the economic and political tendencies at work, and locate non-compliant labour as a way to open up an educational 'turn' towards regimes of discipline, authority and control. By conclusion, if the educational 'turn' in art is to fully realise its emancipatory dimension it must not only align itself to the extra-institutional realm of the artworld, but must forge a counter turn inside the official educational art institution, the primary site of education's struggle and agency. Art production inside the educational institution is profoundly fundamental to a political and philosophical 'turning' towards a critique of contemporary arts new relations of production and reception under capital, to renew once more arts political and transformative potential. This research is an emphatic refusal of fatalism about the status of the official educational institution whose ailments I diagnose throughout. It is an original contribution to the debate on the educational turn and demonstrates when educators and students together, and in common, 'turn' in struggle within and against the institution, they can create transformative strategies of engagement with the institution of knowledge. It is not yet the time to abandon the official education institution entirely.

PONTIFÍCIA UNIVERSIDADE CATÓLICA DO RIO DE JANEIROO ponto central a partir do qual se desdobra a análise objeto da presente tese é a transformação dos processos de trabalho que acompanha as inovações tecnológicas das últimas décadas e sua força transformadora da sociedade e da economia política internacional. O que se pretende é estabelecer um nexo entre a dinâmica mutuamente transformadora do trabalho, a organização social e a tendência expansiva da economia política capitalista, agora em novo estágio ou modo de acumulação identificada nesta tese como o capitalismo cognitivo. A característica desta nova feição do modo de acumulação capitalista é a flexibilidade permitida pela participação crescente do capital fixo contra a diminuição em proporções ainda maiores da participação do trabalho vivo na distribuição de resultados da atividade produtiva. Essa característica se combina com uma disputa entre, de um lado, um processo de materialização dos bens intangíveis por meio da privatização do trabalho intelectual reificado em conhecimento e transformado em capital fixo e, de outro, uma forte tendência à desmaterialização do resultado da atividade produtiva que acompanha as inovações tecnológicas recentes. Identificamos este como o dilema central do capitalismo cognitivo. A desmaterialização a que nos referimos é representada pela falta de obstáculos à reprodução infinita de conhecimento transformado em mercadoria/dados aplicado amplamente em toda a atividade produtiva. Sendo assim, o processo de desmaterialização possibilita a oferta infinita do bem em torno do qual se desenvolve o capitalismo cognitivo, dando fim à escassez e consequentemente banalizando o valor e produzindo uma crise para o sistema conceitual usado para explicar a maneira como as sociedades organizam sua atividade produtiva visando à acumulação de riqueza. Da mesma forma, a tendência à desmaterialização se apresenta na criação de novas redes de poder social, cuja fonte de alimentação e vias de difusão são viabilizadas pelas novas tecnologias, promovendo, consequentemente uma crise para o sistema conceitual usado para explicar a produção de recursos de poder que determina a distribuição no sistema internacional de resultados da atividade produtiva e das vantagens das inovações tecnológicas.
The core problem from which the analysis object of this thesis unfolds its main claims is the transformation of the work process provoked by the technological innovation of the latest decades and its potential of changing the society and the International Political Economy. Its aim is to set a link between the mutually transforming dynamics of work, social organization and the expansive trend of the capitalist political economy, now in a new stage or mode of accumulation, here called the cognitive capitalism. The character of this new face of the capitalist mode of accumulation is the flexibility permitted by the increasing participation of fix capital against the decrease in higher proportions of the participation of labour force on the distribution of the results of the productive activity in general. This character combines itself with a dispute between, in one side, a materialization process of intangible goods through the privatization of intellectual work reified in knowledge transformed in fix capital and, in the other side, a strong tendency towards dematerialization of the productive activity following the recent technological innovation. We identify this combination as the central dilemma of cognitive capitalism. The dematerialization we refer to is represented by the absence of obstacles to the endless reproduction of knowledge transformed in commodity/data widely applied in any and all productive activity. Therefore, the dematerialization process allows the endless offer of the good around which cognitive capitalism develops, putting and end in the scarcity problem and consequently banalizing the value and producing a crises in the conceptual system used to explain the way through each societies organize its productive activities with the purpose of wealth accumulation. The dematerialization tendency presents itself also through the construction of new networks of social power, with its sources and via of diffusion created and reinforced by the new technologies, promoting, consequently, a crises in the conceptual system used to explain the production of power resources which determine the distribution in the International system of the productive activity results and technological innovation advantages.

Both corporations and their global conglomerates are looking into the face of an evolving idea of capitalism. As businesses become more intertwined with society, this special relationship is becoming increasingly deterministic of the condition of the world. This paper explores the possibility that if businesses integrate shared value -- a way to combine economic and social value -- into their long-term business plans, that not only will society be better off, but the businesses themselves may be able to explore previously unrecognized potential for profits.

Satik, Erdogdu. "The Crossroads Of Knowledge And Financialization." Phd thesis, METU, 2013. http://etd.lib.metu.edu.tr/upload/12615744/index.pdf.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis questions the connection between knowledge and finance and advances an account that links both in a two-folded way. The first level departs from what separates the two opposite views or alternative explanations about the value of knowledge. The source and essence of the extra profits in information goods or commodities, such as digital media contents and software, featuring increasing returns to scale owing to their peculiar cost structure manifested by a high fixed cost and very low constant marginal cost, is what separates the two views about the value of knowledge.
In light of the near-decomposability/modularity hypothesis, the extra profits in information commodities should arise from 'information hiding,'
which is intrinsic to nearly-decomposable systems or modular architecture because they are built on an ignorance on the parts in regard to the other parts and the whole of system. Such (hidden) design information that gives rise to parts or modules creates, at the same time, the future paths of action or (real) options, according to real-options perspective. When the two perspectives are combined, knowledge production, as distinct from subsequent knowledge commodity production, basically becomes an option creation process. Then, it becomes possible to argue that the concurrence of knowledge and finance is not a coincidence at all because the logics of accumulation is no different but almost identical, which is the second level of the two-folded account attempted in this study. The main contribution of this thesis is to build an account that links financialization to knowledge via the notion of modularity. Such an account sees financialization as a reflection and consequence of a value-driven permanent innovation economy developed under the '
IT paradigm'
in order to exploit a surplus peculiar and intrinsic to the modular structure that makes '
information hiding'
an integral part of such architectures since they are by definition built on an ignorance on the parts in regard to the other parts and the whole of system.

Esta tese analisa o papel da informação, do conhecimento e das novas tecnologias de informação e comunicação (TICs) no atual estágio do capitalismo, em curso desde o final da década de 1960. Reconhece a centralidade econômica destes elementos e as mudanças significativas na lógica do sistema de acumulação e reprodução capitalista, embora se contraponha àqueles que advogam tratar-se do surgimento de uma nova ordem societária \"pós-capitalista\" ou que atribuem às novas tecnologias, notadamente às redes eletrônicas, papel democratizante e emancipador. Ao inserir a informação e o conhecimento no campo das relações contraditórias do capital e vê-los, portanto, como \"produtivos\", este trabalho verifica a pertinência dos antigos mecanismos de obtenção e controle do valor, assim como de subordinação da força de trabalho diante desta nova matéria - o \"intelecto geral\" - que agora se impõe.Um destaque especial é dado às dificuldades e incoerências geradas pela tentativa de adequar tal matéria à sua lógica reprodutiva. Analisa também a dialética entre a vocação \"desterritorializante\" do capital, sua busca por maior flexibilidade e liquidez, e as necessidades \"territoriais\" dos poderes locais e das infra-estruturas tecnológicas que lhes dão sustentação Aborda, por fim, as subjetividades geradas por esse processo e a possibilidade destas se contraporem ao estado atual das coisas.This thesis analyzes the role of information, knowledge and new information and communication technologies (ICTs) in the current stage of capitalism in place since the end of the 1960\'s. It acknowledges the economic centrality of these elements and the significant changes in the logic of the capitalist system of accumulation and reproduction, even though it opposes that which some advocate as the beginning of a new, \"post-capitalist\" social order, or the democratization and emancipation role attributed to these new technologies, notably electronic networks. By placing information and knowledge in positions contrary to capital, and, therefore seeing them as \"productive,\" this research verifies the pertinence of older mechanisms of obtaining and controlling value, as well as the subsumption of the labor force in the face of this new phenomenon, the \"general intellect\" which now imposes itself. This research places special emphasis on the difficulties and inconsistencies generated by the attempt to reconcile such phenomenon with its reproductive logic. It also analyzes the dialectic between capital\'s \"de-territorializing\" tendency, its push toward more flexibility and liquidity, and the \"territorial\" necessities of the local forces and technological infrastructures that sustain them. Lastly, it addresses the subjectivities generated by this process and the possibility that these oppose current phenomenon.

Full textAbstract:
Esta tese tem como objetivo investigar a emergência de uma escola brasileira de Geografia cujas bases foram lançadas pelo geógrafo francês Pierre Monbeig. Seus anos de formação na Sorbonne, os anos em que viveu no Brasil, até os anos em que publicou suas principais contribuições sobre este país (1925-1957) demarcam o período do processo de formação da geografia brasileira sob sua liderança, visto como um percurso ao mesmo tempo material e simbólico. Uma geo-história dos saberes, que tem como eixos de análise as esferas das lentidões, da circulação e das rupturas, foi o método mobilizado para apreender uma trajetória que é atingida por movimentos profundos da constituição das ciências, bem como em conjunturas de eclipsam as longas tendências na primeira metade do século XX. Tais movimentos de longa duração são aqui caracterizados como a erosão dos valores literários, que dominaram as ciências francesas em fins do século XIX; a tentação à ação e ao engajamento, numa forma tendencial que caminha para uma crescente aplicação das ciências; e uma progressiva explicitação dos métodos científicos. Face à conjuntura e a determinismos específicos do Brasil, da formação do Estado nacional, da crise das oligarquias e do avanço do capitalismo tardio, as respostas a estas tendências, de uma ciência em contexto de recuperação de suas heranças, mas também de deslocamento, são singulares, e as transformações que a geografia de Pierre Monbeig vai sofrer nesse espaço são institucionais, teóricas e temporalmente específicas. Assim Monbeig elabora raciocínios que, sem negar as heranças e as tensões latentes, estão permeados por resultados diretos em torno da compreensão dos processos geográficos da modernização e da lógica espacial de subdesenvolvimento dos territórios em processo de colonização, e, indiretos, em torno de uma teoria geográfica adaptada às condições do capitalismo brasileiro, que nós denominados como géo-histórica do capitalismo periférico, com base em raciocínios sistêmicos. Por fim, será necessário ressaltar que tais contribuições epistemológicas, se não se anunciaram como uma ruptura às heranças da vertente da geografia francesa que ele adota, constituem, para as ciências humanas, uma fortuna crítica da Geografia desenvolvida no Brasil, pouco reconhecida nos debates historiográficos.This thesis aims at investigating the emergence of a Brazilian school of Geography whose foundation was built by the French geographer Pierre Monbeig. His years studying at Sorbonne, his yeas spent in Brazil, and even the year in which he published his first contributions on this country (1925-1957) define the period in which Brazilian geography came to be, under his leadership; this was, at the same time, a material and a symbolic process. This research used a geohistory of knowledge that analyses the spheres of slowness, circulation, and ruptures to study a trajectory that is influenced by deep movements of the constitution of the sciences, as well as circumstances of the sciences that eclipse the long-lasting tendencies in the first half of the twentieth century. These long-lasting movements are characterized here as: erosion of literary values, which dominated French sciences in the end of the nineteenth century; temptation to action and engagement, in the form of a tendency towards a growing application of sciences; and a progressive clarification of the scientific method. In face of the situation and of Brazil-specific determinisms, the formation of the national State, the crises of oligarchies, and the advancement of late capitalism, the answers of a science in context of recovering its inheritances, but also of displacement, to these trends are singular and the transformations that Pierre Monbeig\'s geography goes through in this space are institutional, theoretical and temporally specific to that time. Thereby, Monbeig elaborates reasonings that, without denying latent heritage and tension, are direct results of understanding geographical processes of modernization and of the spacial logic of underdevelopment in territories in process of colonization, and by indirect results of a geographical theory adapted to the conditions of Brazilian capitalism, which we denominate a geohistory of the peripheral capitalism based on systemic reasoning. Finally, it is important to point out that these epistemological contributions were not announced as a break with the French geography the author adopts; they constitute, to the humanities, a critical source of information for Geography as it was developed in Brazil, which gets little recognition in historiographic debates.

Previous issue date: 2006-05-26Analyses of the relationship between capital and knowledge in the capitalist system, has been the focus for researches to its historical origin, and the form in which has been developed along the time, to understand how this relation affects the life of the workers and how the technological innovation is affecting the society and its future, With this objective in mind, the idea of long cycles will be used, as initially described by Kondratieff and, later by Schumpeter, and to understand the way these cycles had influences the relation between capital-work and knowledge, mainly if it relates to the gradual appropriation, on the part of the capital the knowledge generated by the workers. The Idea of this study is focused on understanding the way the new information technology specially the advances in electronics and information nets tends to affect the relationship between the capital and work. As these facilitate the development of the so called elite workers, the diligent calls "workers of the knowledge", in the same way that it provokes an increasing exclusion of the less qualified labor.
An?lise da rela??o entre capital e conhecimento no sistema capitalista, buscando sua origem hist?rica e a forma como ela tem se desenvolvido ao longo do tempo, para entender como esta rela??o afeta a vida dos trabalhadores ou ainda, como as inova??es tecnol?gicas v?em afetando a sociedade atual e como poder? afetar seu futuro. Com este objetivo, ser? utilizado a id?ia de ciclos longos, inicialmente descrito por Kondratieff e, posteriormente retomado por Schumpeter, para entender a maneira como estes ciclos influenciaram a rela??o capital-trabalho-conhecimento, principalmente no que se refere ? progressiva apropria??o, por parte do capital, do conhecimento gerado pelos trabalhadores. O esfor?o final deste estudo estar? voltado para a compreens?o da maneira pela qual as novas tecnologias de informa??o, notadamente as baseadas nos avan?os da eletr?nica e redes de informa??o, tendem a afetar as rela??es entre o capital e o trabalho e tamb?m como estas facilitam o desenvolvimento de uma elite de trabalhadores, os chamados trabalhadores do conhecimento , da mesma forma que provoca uma crescente exclus?o da m?o-de-obra de baixa qualifica??o.

La sociedad se reorganizó a partir de la revolución tecnológica. El capitalismo ha sido
reestructurado debido a la globalización de las actividades económicas. Los conceptos de
tiempo y espacio han sido transformados. Las redes sociales, aliadas al fácil acceso a internet
y a las novedades de las tecnologías de la información y comunicación han estado facilitando
no solamente la generación del conocimiento, como también la divulgación de productos,
marcas y la facilidad con la que encontramos los mismos. Una nueva etapa de la historia,
ahora más acelerada por la convergencia de momentos, se presenta a partir de la evolución
tecnológica. Utilizando Indaiatuba, ciudad del interior de Brasil, como estudio de caso, el
objetivo de este artículo es enseñar algunas de las formas de narrar la historia de la ciudad
utilizando las nuevas tecnologías, estimulando así la inteligencia colectiva en la sociedad y el
compartir de la historia, contribuyendo consecuentemente para la preservación del patrimonio
histórico-cultural a través de la mediatización de los mismos. Society has been reorganized due to technological revolution. Capitalism has been restructured
because of the globalization of economic activities. The concepts of time and space were
transformed. Social networks, coupled with easy access to Internet and new technologies of
communication and information have not only facilitated the generation of knowledge but the
dissemination of products and brands and their interaction capability as well. A new stage of
history, now accelerated by the convergence of moments, is presented from the technological
evolution. Using Indaiatuba city in the interior of Brazil, as a case study, the aim of this article is
to expose some ways to tell the story of the city using new technologies in order to stimulate
society collective intelligence and its capability of sharing their history. This will lead to the
preservation of historic and cultural heritage through the mediatization of Indaiatuba richly

Full textAbstract:
Artificial Intelligence (AI) presents many ethical dilemmas, such as explainability, bias, military uses, surveillance capitalism, employment, and jobs. In the scientific context, AI can lead us to a crisis of reproducibility spread across several areas of knowledge and guide mathematicians to solve high complexity problems. Both companies and government forward their guidelines, recommendations, and materials combining Ethics and AI. In this paper, we investigate the involvement of the Brazilian academic-scientific community with moral or ethical aspects through its publications, covering the Brazilian Conference on Intelligent Systems (BRACIS) as the most prominent Brazilian AI conference. Through a Literature Systematic Review method, we answer the main research question: what is the panorama of the explicit occurrence of ethical aspects in the BRACIS, ENIAC, and STIL conference papers? The results indicate a low occurrence of ethical aspects and increasing behavior over the years. Ethical deliberation was fruitful, constructive, and critical among these few occurrences. Whether in the Brazilian or international context, there are spaces to be filled and open opportunities for exploration along this path.

Full textAbstract:
Despite of unprecedented level of financing and IT support, the world science didn’t demonstrate meaningful fundamental achievements in study of the ecologic problems of interaction between nature and society and the socio-natural history within the recent 50 years. Social and ideology causes of conceptual infertility of social ecology and of social sciences as a whole are analyzed, such infertility rooted in absence of conditions for creative research into problems of profound social-economic transformation of the society and for search of real paths of development of the social form of being of humans and of the whole of planet’s socio-natural Universum. Ideological engagement of contemporary scholars and their leaning towards the “end of history” and “sustainable development” concepts as a justification of eternal and qualitative stability of liberal capitalism are the reasons of this situation in philosophy and in distinct natural and social sciences. Narrow specialization of scholars, poor knowledge of theoretical heritage accumulated in various countries are of considerable importance as well, these drawbacks not allowing for synthesis of data obtained in particular fields of science to lead to development of fundamental understanding about being of contemporary socio-natural whole.

Full textAbstract:
The shift towards knowledge economy accompanied with the flow of people, capital and goods has manifold effects on urban development. On the one hand, cities are becoming more alike: in chasing for profit, global capitalism imposes spatial patterns that lack distinctiveness. On the other hand, network society makes people living in a global village, thus bringing multiculturalism to the fore. Consequently, continuous change and replacement of urban layers lead to the loss of readability, local diversity, and, finally, identity of a place. To tackle the issue of preserving local identity in a globalising world, we place an emphasis on industrial heritage and the effect of its recycling on a local urban area. As industrial areas keep memory and deep-seated associations for local residents and communities, they play an important role in defining the identity of both the place and its inhabitants. To recycle industrial heritage means to alter obsolete industrial area using its available, useable material, thus making the site suitable for the new function. Recycling differs from both preservation – that persists in maintaining status quo, and the total demolition of an area in order to build it from scratch. Recycling of an industrial site with historic value, thus, make an important contribution to regeneration of urban areas and has a range of social benefits: recycled districts reinforce local cultures, instil a greater sense of pride and confidence among its inhabitants, and retain cohesion in globalising cities. Finally, recycled industrial areas usually become the hubs of creative industry, thus fostering the local economy based on knowledge in contrast to pure tourist areas as manifestations of global consumption.

Full textAbstract:
We are witnesses and participants of Copernican changes in the world which result in major crises/challenges (economic, political, social, climate, demographic, migratory, MORAL) that significantly change “normal” circumstances. The law, as a large regulatory system, must find answers to these challenges. Primarily, these circumstances relate to (i) the pandemic - Corona 19, which requires ensuring economic development with a significant encroachment on human freedoms and rights; (ii) globalization, which fundamentally changes the concept of liberal capitalism as the most efficient system of production of goods and services and democracy as a desirable form of government; (iii) automation, robotics, artificial intelligence, and big data are changing the ways we work, live, communicate, and learn in a Copernican manner. The law should serve to shape the relationship between people in order to realize a life of love and freedom. This is done to the greatest extent through the constitutional engineering of selected institutions. The legal system focuses on institutions that have a raison d'etre in their mission, which is read as “ratio legis”, as a desirable normative and real action in the range of causal and teleological aspect. Crisis situations narrow social cohesion and weaken trust in institutions. It is imperative to seek constitutional engineering that finds a way out in autopoietic institutions in allopoietic environment. We believe that the most current definition of law is that = law is the negation of the negation of morality. It follows that morality is the most important category of social development. Legitimacy, and then legality, relies on morality. In other words, the rules of conduct must be highly correlated with morality - legitimacy - legality. What is legal follows the rules, what is lawful follows the moral substance and ethical permissibility. Therefore, only a fair and intelligent mastery of a highly professional and ethical teleological interpretation of law is a conditio sine qua non for overcoming current anomalies of social development. The juridical code of legal and illegal is a transformation of moral, legitimate and legal into YES, and immoral, illegitimate and illegal into NO. The future of education aims to generate a program for global action and a discussion on learning and knowledge for the future of humanity and the planet in a world of increasing complexity, uncertainty and insecurity.

The government of Rafael Correa (2007-2017) embarked on an ambitious project of diversifying the national economy to transition from a primary resource exporting economy to a competitive Knowledge Society and a Knowledge-Based Bio-Economy as biodiversity was conceptualized as the country’s most significant comparative advantage. This paper traces how peoples’ and nationalities’ knowledges, so-called ancestral knowledges, were elicited in unprecedented ways in this context of bringing about a change of the productive matrix. While knowledge in general was reframed as an infinite resource, ancestral knowledges were made productive for a state-led project of capitalist modernization.

Full textAbstract:
We develop a theoretical framework for corporate ventures where corporations' know-how gives them an advantage over regular financiers in identifying profitable projects. Corporations and venture capitalists compete to fund entrepreneurs in an environment featuring risk, adverse selection, and limited liability. The expected surplus of each project is independent of the financier and the efficient scale of each project differs among entrepreneurs. We characterize the optimal financial contracts arising in equilibrium and use this characterization to explore the effect corporations' knowledge has in this environment. We show that the presence of corporations in the financial market could be detrimental to welfare when corporations' selection advantage is small. When large, corporate venture capitalists' knowledge reduces the extensive margin inefficiency arising from adverse selection, meaning less socially inefficient projects are enacted. We also show that increasing the depth or breadth of corporations' knowledge leads to higher aggregate gains.

Full textAbstract:
The goals of the Paris Agreement and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development tightly interlink across social, technical and economic spheres. Achieving them requires swift and vigorous action by policymakers now. An integrated approach to climate and development policy planning is essential to capitalize on synergies among goals and to avoid achieving some goals at the expense of others. Such integrated planning requires accessible, quantitative tools that can compare policy options, and analyse impacts on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and climate mitigation. This brief outlines recent improvements to SEI’s pioneering Low Emissions Analysis Platform (LEAP), which, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, is the lone available tool that meets these criteria. The brief also highlights SEI’s work to advance integrated planning through a dedicated initiative to expand the LEAP tool’s capabilities and to train planners in low-and middle-income countries to build their in-country capacity.
