Abstract:
In the 1970s, when the social science history movement emerged in the United States, leading to the founding of the Social Science History Association, a simultaneous movement arose in which historians looked to cultural anthropology for inspiration. Although both movements involved historians turning to social sciences for theory and method, they reflected very different views of the nature of the historical enterprise. Cultural anthropology, most notably as preached by Clifford Geertz, became a means by which historians could find a theoretical basis in the social sciences for rejecting a scientific paradigm. This article examines this development while also exploring the complex ways cultural anthropology has embraced—and shunned—history in recent years.

Abstract:
Acknowledging the consolidation of citizen science, this paper aims to foster a collective debate on two visible gaps of the field. First, how to overcome the limited participation of social sciences and humanities in the broader field of citizen science, still dominated by natural sciences. Second, how to develop a citizen social science that allows for an active participation of citizens and for a critical engagement with contemporary societies. The authors coordinate a state-sponsored program of scientific dissemination within a Portuguese research institution and this paper intends to lay the groundwork for a future project of Citizen Social Science based on a new concept of “engaged citizen social science”.

Abstract:
This article raises a question on the existence of representations on social nature as an ultimate ontology of social sciences. The complications that do not allow acknowledging such existence are being formulated. The author points at the modern alternative interpretations of ultimate ontology of social sciences – the representations on culture, self-developing systems with synergetic effects, sociality, interculture, etc. It is claimed that the concept of nature was introduced for determining the conditions for an effective practical action in scientific research. In order to clarify the perceptions of ultimate ontology of social science, the article discusses the peculiarities of social science and theory, as well as demarcation of the ideal objects, schemes, and models. As a result, the author was able to demonstrate that the traditional definition of social nature has virtually become obsolete, and is not efficient with regards to social sciences. It is offered to replace it with the categorical representations, which may be considered as the ultimate ontology of social sciences. However, it requires the new designation and characterization of the structure and essence of social sciences.

Abstract:
Dedicated to the memory of Daniel Simeoni Insufficient attention has been paid in Translation Studies to the challenges particular to translating social scientific texts. Of the few who have taken up the topic, Immanuel Wallerstein has argued that one of the distinguishing characteristics of social scientific texts is that they traffic in concepts. Wallerstein wants the translation of social science to further the possibility of a universal conversation in the social sciences. I argue that a universal conversation in the social sciences is neither possible nor desirable. Instead, this article proposes that translating social science can contribute to conceptual clarification and elaboration. In this way, the translation may complement and further the flowering of the ‘original’ concept. The essay concludes with an extended example—how ‘bewilderment’ might be translated into Spanish.

Abstract:
Social science is in jeopardy, both from attempts to make it like other sciences, and from the emphasis on human creativity and meanings, which would embed studies of society within the humanities. The multiplicity of theoretical positions within the social sciences, along with that multiplicity which is present in any person's social understanding, needs analysing in terms neither of 'meaning', nor of 'context', but through an understanding of the process of 'elaboration', by which multiplicity develops. Rather than awaiting a new theoretical 'paradigm', permitting the integration of systematic knowledge about human society, social scientists need more mutual recognition of their already shared approach to understanding. Elaboration in intellectual work is, like the secondary process of Freud, a process utilizing both the heterogeneity of past understanding, and an awareness which goes beyond any previous interpretation; the interplay of these in elaboration brings together and articulates a new aspect of multiplicity. Accounts of consciousness, and of epistemology and ontology, which do not lead to any sense of elaboration except that of the increasing of complexity by the adding of further details, are contrasted with the duality - in terms of the discrete and the holistic - which recent attempts at modelling brain functioning have suggested. By linking these to Freud's argument about the theoretical complexity required by any conceptualization of consciousness, the understanding of elaboration is developed and then traced in examples of recent usage. Processes of fragmentation and integration occur in social change, as well as in the development of social understanding. In neither case is their 'truth' an appropriate criterion for responding to these elaborations. Evaluating their 'scope', and so taking account of the comprehensiveness of the elaborations, is more useful in the human condition of multiplicity. Judgments of scope are a basis for comparing positions that are incommensurable, i.e. relativism as an epistemological problem is replaced by the practical methodological issues introduced by considering the discrete and holistic aspects of any elaboration. The ontological interplay of discrete and holistic processes in social practices and institutions has been elaborated recently in ways invoking Freud's terminology; construing this as elaboration provides a way of conceiving the duality of social structure. Elaborating social understanding in terms of this way of representing structural and intellectual change underlines the importance for social science of criteria for evaluating the process of elaboration.

Abstract:
Visibilitzant la vida quotidiana de la gent, Twitter s'ha convertit en una de les plataformes d'intercanvi d'informació més importants i ha atret ràpidament l'atenció dels científics. Investigadors de tot el món s'han centrat en les ciències socials i en els estudis d'Internet amb dades de Twitter com a mostra del món real, i en l'última dècada s'han dissenyat nombroses eines d'anàlisis i algorismes. La present tesi doctoral consta de tres recerques, en primer lloc, donats els 14 anys (fins a 2020) d'història des de la fundació de Twitter, hem assistit a una explosió de publicacions científiques relacionades, però el panorama actual de la recerca en aquesta plataforma de mitjans socials continuava sent desconegut. Per a omplir aquest buit de recerca, vam fer una anàlisi bibliomètrica dels estudis relacionats amb Twitter per a analitzar com van evolucionar els estudis de Twitter al llarg del temps, i per a proporcionar una descripció general de l'entorn acadèmic de recerca de Twitter des d'un nivell macro. En segon lloc, atès que hi ha moltes eines de programari analític que estan disponibles actualment per a la recerca en Twitter, una pregunta pràctica per als investigadors júnior és com triar el programari més apropiat per al seu propi projecte de recerca. Per a resoldre aquest problema, vam fer una revisió del programari per a alguns dels sistemes integrats que es consideren més rellevants per a la recerca en ciències socials. Atès que els investigadors júnior en ciències socials poden enfrontar-se a possibles limitacions financeres, vam reduir el nostre abast per a centrar-nos únicament en el programari gratuït i de baix cost. En tercer lloc, donada l'actual crisi de salut pública, hem observat que els mitjans de comunicació social són una de les fonts d'informació i notícies més accessibles per al públic. Durant una pandèmia, la forma en què s'emmarquen els problemes de salut i les malalties en la premsa influeix en la comprensió del públic sobre l'actual brot epidèmic i les seves actituds i comportaments. Per tant, decidim usar Twitter com una font de notícies de fàcil accés per a analitzar l'evolució dels marcs de notícies espanyols durant la pandèmia COVID-19. En general, les tres recerques s'han associat estretament amb l'aplicació de mètodes computacionals, incloent la recol·lecció de dades en línia, la mineria de textos, l'anàlisi de xarxes i la visualització de dades. Aquest projecte de doctorat ha mostrat com la gent estudia i utilitza Twitter des de tres nivells diferents: el nivell acadèmic, el nivell pràctic i el nivell empíric.
Visibilizando la vida cotidiana de la gente, Twitter se ha convertido en una de las plataformas de intercambio de información más importantes y ha atraído rápidamente la atención de los científicos. Investigadores de todo el mundo se han centrado en las ciencias sociales y en los estudios de Internet con datos de Twitter como muestra del mundo real, y en la última década se han diseñado numerosas herramientas de análisis y algoritmos. La presente tesis doctoral consta de tres investigaciones, en primer lugar, dados los 14 años (hasta 2020) de historia desde la fundación de Twitter, hemos asistido a una explosión de publicaciones científicas relacionadas, pero el panorama actual de la investigación en esta plataforma de medios sociales seguía siendo desconocido. Para llenar este vacío de investigación, hicimos un análisis bibliométrico de los estudios relacionados con Twitter para analizar cómo evolucionaron los estudios de Twitter a lo largo del tiempo, y para proporcionar una descripción general del entorno académico de investigación de Twitter desde un nivel macro. En segundo lugar, dado que hay muchas herramientas de software analítico que están disponibles actualmente para la investigación en Twitter, una pregunta práctica para los investigadores junior es cómo elegir el software más apropiado para su propio proyecto de investigación. Para resolver este problema, hicimos una revisión del software para algunos de los sistemas integrados que se consideran más relevantes para la investigación en ciencias sociales. Dado que los investigadores junior en ciencias sociales pueden enfrentarse a posibles limitaciones financieras, redujimos nuestro alcance para centrarnos únicamente en el software gratuito y de bajo coste. En tercer lugar, dada la actual crisis de salud pública, hemos observado que los medios de comunicación social son una de las fuentes de información y noticias más accesibles para el público. Durante una pandemia, la forma en que se enmarcan los problemas de salud y las enfermedades en la prensa influye en la comprensión del público sobre el actual brote epidémico y sus actitudes y comportamientos. Por lo tanto, decidimos usar Twitter como una fuente de noticias de fácil acceso para analizar la evolución de los marcos de noticias españoles durante la pandemia COVID-19. En general, las tres investigaciones se han asociado estrechamente con la aplicación de métodos computacionales, incluyendo la recolección de datos en línea, la minería de textos, el análisis de redes y la visualización de datos. Este proyecto de doctorado ha mostrado cómo la gente estudia y utiliza Twitter desde tres niveles diferentes: el nivel académico, el nivel práctico y el nivel empírico.
As Twitter has covered up people’s daily life, it has became one of the most important information exchange platforms, and quickly attracted scientists’ attention. Researchers around the world have highly focused on social science and internet studies with Twitter data as a real world sample, and numerous analytics tools and algorithms have been designed in the last decade. The present doctoral thesis consists of three researches, first, given the 14 years (until 2020) of history since the foundation of Twitter, an explosion of related scientific publications have been witnessed, but the current research landscape on this social media platform remained unknown, to fill this research gap, we did a bibliometric analysis on Twitter-related studies to analyze how the Twitter studies evolved over time, and to provide a general description of the Twitter research academic environment from a macro level. Second, since there are many analytic software tools that are currently available for Twitter research, a practical question for junior researchers is how to choose the most appropriate software for their own research project, to solve this problem, we did a software review for some of the integrated frameworks that are considered most relevant for social science research, given that junior social science researchers may face possible financial constraints, we narrowed our scope to solely focus on the free and low-cost software. Third, given the current public health crisis, we have noticed that social media are one of the most accessed information and news sources for the public. During a pandemic, how health issues and diseases are framed in the news release impacts public’s understanding of the current epidemic outbreak and their attitudes and behaviors. Hence, we decided to use Twitter as an easy-access news source to analyze the evolution of the Spanish news frames during the COVID-19 pandemic. Overall, the three researches have closely associated with the application of computational methods, including online data collection, text mining, complex network and data visualization. And this doctoral project has discovered how people study and use Twitter from three different levels: the academic level, the practical level and the empirical level.

Abstract:
What can text corpora tell us about society? How can automatic text analysis algorithms efficiently and reliably analyze the social processes revealed in language production? This work develops statistical text analyses of dynamic social and news media datasets to extract indicators of underlying social phenomena, and to reveal how social factors guide linguistic production. This is illustrated through three case studies: first, examining whether sentiment expressed in social media can track opinion polls on economic and political topics (Chapter 3); second, analyzing how novel online slang terms can be very specific to geographic and demographic communities, and how these social factors affect their transmission over time (Chapters 4 and 5); and third, automatically extracting political events from news articles, to assist analyses of the interactions of international actors over time (Chapter 6). We demonstrate a variety of computational, linguistic, and statistical tools that are employed for these analyses, and also contribute MiTextExplorer, an interactive system for exploratory analysis of text data against document covariates, whose design was informed by the experience of researching these and other similar works (Chapter 2). These case studies illustrate recurring themes toward developing text analysis as a social science methodology: computational and statistical complexity, and domain knowledge and linguistic assumptions.

Abstract:
The thesis is a collection of six stand-alone chapters aimed at setting the foundations for the philosophy of computational social science. Agent-based modelling has been used for social research since the nineties. While at the beginning it was simply conceived as a methodological alternative, recently, the notion of ‘computational social science’ has started to be used to denote a separate disciplinary field. There are important differences with mainstream social science and traditional social research. Yet, the literature in the field has not accounted for these differences. Computational social science is a strongly practice-oriented field, where theoretical and philosophical concerns have been pushed into the background. This thesis presents an initial analysis of the methodology, epistemology and ontology of computational social science, by examining the following topics: 1) verification and validation and 2) modelling and theorising, 3) mechanisms 4) explanation 5) agency, action and interaction and 6) entities and process philosophy. Five general conclusions are drawn from the thesis. It is first argued that the wider ontological base in agent-based modelling allows for a new approach to traditional social dualisms, moving away from the methodological individualism that dominates computational social science. Second, the need to place a distinction between explanation and understanding and to make explanatory goals explicit is highlighted. Third, it is claimed that computational social science needs to pay attention to the social epistemology of the field, for this could provide important insights regarding values, ideologies and interests that underlie the practice of agent-based modelling. Fourth, it is suggested that a more robust theorisation regarding the experimental and model-based character of agent-based modelling should be developed. Finally, it is argued that the method can greatly contribute to the development of a processual account of social life.

Abstract:
In this thesis I will argue that popularized science books should adhere to normative criteria regarding the presentation, interpretation, and understanding of the natural sciences. The increasing popularity of popular science texts (PSTs) - based on sales, critical notice, and scholarly attention - indicates that they can function to interest and partially educate the lay public in scientific principals and practices. I will identify and analyze the narrative, rhetorical features of two popular science texts: Douglas Adams' Last Chance to See and Alan Lightman's Einstein's Dreams. These texts are selected based on a series of normative criteria, criteria constructed for the purpose of enhancing the public understanding of science. Additionally, these criteria are needed to help the lay public develop a proper appreciation of science. A proper appreciation of science, I argue, enables people to make better informed decisions regarding their own personal welfare and also that of the natural world. Finally, a proper appreciation of science, stimulated by PSTs, may help both scientists and the lay public reconceive the possibilities of narrative, public writing, and civic discourse.

Abstract:
AbstractThis chapter explores the ways in which the roles of citizens and researchers play out in the social sciences. This is expressed by numerous overlapping and related terms, such as co-production and participatory action research, to name but two, and by the different social topics that citizen social science draws attention to. The key question this chapter seeks to explore is what does naming citizen social science as such bring to the fields of citizen science and the social sciences? The chapter explores the different epistemic foundations of citizen social science and outlines the development and provenance of citizen social science in its broadest sense, reflecting on how it is currently practised. It draws on different examples from the experiences and work of the authors and notes the boundaries and overlaps with citizen science. The chapter also highlights some of the key issues that citizen social science gives rise to, emphasising that while citizen social science is a relatively new term, its underlying approaches and epistemic foundations are at least partially established in the social sciences.

Abstract:
This qualitative study is an exploration of final year Social Science education students awareness of the intertwined nature of Social Science as a subject and the role of social justice in the classroom of a democratic South Africa. This study finds that South African Social Science teachers interpret or experience the teaching of Social Science in various ways. In the South African transitional justice environment, Social Science education had to take into account the legacies of the apartheid-era schooling system and the official history narrative that contributed to conflict in South Africa. Throughout the world, issues of social justice and equity are becoming a significant part of everyday discourse in education and some of these themes are part of the Social Science curriculum. Through a qualitative research methodology, data was gathered from Focus Group Discussion (FGD) sessions with three groups of five teacher education students in two of the groups and the third having ten participants from the same race, in their final year, specializing in Social Science teaching. The data obtained were categorised and analysed in terms of the student teacher’s awareness of the intertwined nature of Social Science and social justice education. The results of the study have revealed that participants had a penchant for the subject Social Science because it assisted them to have a better understanding of social justice and the unequal society they live in; an awareness of social ills, and the challenges of people. Participants identified social justice characteristics within Social Science and relate to some extent while they were teaching the subject, certain themes within the Social Science curriculum. Findings suggest that the subject Social Science provides a perspective as to why social injustice and inequality are so prevalent in South Africa and in some parts of the world. Social Science content in its current form and South African context, emanates from events and activities that took place in communities and in the broader society, thus the linkage to social justice education. This study recommends different approaches to infuse social justice considerations Social Science; one being an empathetic approach – introducing activities to assist learners in viewing an issue from someone else’s perspective, particularly when issues of prejudice or discrimination against a particular group arise, or if the issue is remote from learners’ lives.
