Gradual Transformation

The paper analyzes the problems that arise in the process of digitalization of criminal proceedings, when its organizers are forced to organize the interaction of social and computer technologies, the joint development and application of which become inevitable in modern conditions. The basic concepts of social technologies theory that were originally developed as a means of organizing human activities, with criminal justice system being only one of them, are interpreted in a new way. The main contexts of application of "social technology" concept, as well as the significance of social technologies in the formulation of principles and achieving the goals of criminal proceedings are studied. The author defines a special type of social technologies, humanitarian technologies in the paper, and analyzes the relevance of this type of technology in the system of principles of criminal procedure. The author substantiates the need to distinguish between the theoretical and technological aspects of compliance with the principles of criminal justice, which allows us to reconstruct the entire system of goal-setting impact on people’s actions and social relations through the development and application of social technologies. The concept of gradual transformation of society through the use of social engineering, put forward by K. Popper, is analyzed in detail. The role of the theoretical distinction between methodological essentialism and methodological nominalism (antirealism) is reconstructed. The ideological and political contextualization of the theory of social technologies, which dominates in modern social science, is subjected to critical analysis. The author examines the ontological assumptions and methodological guidelines proposed by K. Popper for the approval of his socio-technological doctrine. The author identifies and describes the specifics of the use of social technologies in the context of the use of artificial intelligence systems in criminal proceedings. The point about the need to search for the relationship and mutual consistency of the systems of the individual and society in the process of digitalization of criminal proceedings both at the level of principles and at the level of technology is substantiated.

This chapter examines how a university can offer mindset-changing experiences to benefit local communities and students; arouse awareness to the way we work, do business and relate to each other and to our environment; and maximise the involvement of individuals and groups in solidarity economy movements. A three year action research programme developed by Methodist University of Sao Paulo in Montanhao, a poor Sao Bernardo do Campo neighbourhood offered supported the development of projects, programmes and management tools, supported the development of a repertoire of community-focused social technologies, and highlighted cultural and local knowledge. The programmes offered a real contribution to the empowerment of communities and the development of the quality of life at a local level, especially adapting business plan methodologies towards the goal of developing the solidarity economy, spreading income more fairly, and increasing the groups’ self-esteem, while developing students’ skills. It also focused skills available in an academic environment on contributing to local development demands, creating a new values platform based in collective development, associational skills, and environmental and local awareness, especially for local women who represented 70% of all solidarity economy movement participants.

Potential Benefits

This study assesses potentially sensitive effects of a specific sub-class of digital social technologies called social broadcasting networks (SBNs). Adopting the explanatory mechanisms of social network structures (Borgatti et al. 2009; Kane et al. 2014), and adapting Herzberg et al’s (1959) Two Factor theory, it investigates how the structure of a SBN (conceptualized as its relative advantage), and the influence of users in a SBN empower two key news consumption behaviours viz. switching and continuance. Employing the survey (qualitative) method, the study empirically validates the news consumption behaviours of 325 respondents. Findings reveal a more nuanced role of SBNs indicating the potential benefits to news firms because of individuals switching to traditional news mediums while in the same breadth highlights the potential of SBNs as competitive news providers. It shows intermittent use of SBNs and signifies that when online and offline news mediums co-exist, influence of users in the incumbent (online) medium plays a powerful role in inducing or refraining the use of a substitute offline medium. This study develops new ontological and theoretical understanding of the entanglement of technology and social activity that is dynamic, at times ephemeral and pervasively ubiquitous.

The purpose of this article is to justify the new role of the municipal official, i.e. the role of a transformation leader, whose activity is increasingly connected with the introduction of participatory governance, with the development of citizen participation and through this participation, progressive changes in the local community and the municipality as a whole. The method of research was theoretical analysis of foreign experience in the use of social technologies at the local level, which made it possible to form a theoretical model of transformational leadership. The formation of such a model is important from the point of view of developing key competencies of municipal officials in the near future. Empirical support for the theoretical analysis was obtained through content analysis of documents published on the website of the Governor of St. Petersburg (https://www. gov.spb.ru/governor). The research made it possible to conclude that transformational leadership behavior of municipal authorities is aimed at increasing the participatory nature of governance, the mission of valence in the ratio of clear and attractive development priorities at the municipal, regional and federal levels with the interests of local communities. The constant need to solve new social and political problems and contradictions by municipal leaders means a continuous search for a balance between efficiency and fairness, and the effectiveness of this balance depends on the transformational potential of municipal managers. The participatory style of municipal management implies that transformation leaders use social technologies for public participation in state and municipal management. Transformational leadership is based on the principles of democracy, efficiency, effectiveness, openness, rule of law, ethics, competence, innovation, sustainability, performance, and accountability. It makes it possible to replenish the deficit of public resources, which is increasing due to economic crises, as well as unjustified and excessive expansion of social services and the number of their recipients. Transformative leadership involves reaching consensus among different social groups, finding a balance between economic rationality and social justice, between extensive growth and environmentally friendly sustainable development. This becomes the main task of any level of government, primarily the municipal government as the closest to the place where problems arise and the search for optimal solutions.

This paper is devoted to analysis of the monograph written by Alexander Golikov, Doctor of Sociological Sciences, Associate Professor of the Department of Sociology of the Sociological Faculty of V. N. Karazin Kharkiv National University. The author emphasizes the indisputable theoretical significance of reviewed work, focused on the elucidation of the role of knowledge in the constitution of the social, which in the context of globalization, virtualization and individualization of social life acquires the properties of an «unfamiliar social». The monograph pays special attention to the processes of fabrication of various types of knowledge, that is, the creation and dissemination of various knowledge as structural and practical factors in the constitution of the social. It is noted that the author's research strategy is original, constructive and productive both in theoretical and practical sense. It is emphasized that the scientific novelty of the work lies in the conceptualization of the categorical triangle «knowledge – social – order»; in the proposed concept of an internalized Second and a depersonalized Third as «generalized Others»; in clarifying the specifics of communication in the production of sign-symbolic and informational forms of knowledge; in the introduction to scientific circulation the concept of «chronotope of the order of knowledge», etc. At the same time, it is emphasized that this fundamental monograph contains certain controversial provisions. In particular, a clearer definitions are required by: the scientific problem of work, that is, the question of what kind of epistemological inconsistency the author's concept solves; meaningful content of the «fabrication» category; ideological shape of knowledge, as a result of which it becomes one of the components of manipulative social technologies. Despite the remarks, the reviewer notes the significant heuristic potential of A. Golikov's developments, which, in his opinion, is distinguished by a refined professional language, a high level of scientific reliability and innovative content.
