RESUMO Este artigo examinará as fronteiras de contato das linhas de pesquisa de língua estrangeira com a cultura digital.Essas se estendem entre o ambiente analógico e digital na produção de conhecimento e pesquisa no Brasil. Mais especificamente, argumento que a pesquisa de línguas se serve da cultura digital para o desenvolvimento e a atualização de sua pesquisa. Este ensaio integra o estudo, em andamento, que é parte do projeto Language Acts and Worldmaking;e permite concluir que é preciso um maior engajamento multilíngue dentro das humanidades digitais e o entendimento de como estas duas áreas de contato se comunicam e colaboram entre si.Palavras-chave: Cultura Digital; Pesquisa; Línguas Modernas; Humanidades Digitais.ABSTRACT This article examines the contact boundaries between modern languages research and the digital culture. These boundaries extend between the analogue and digital environment in the production of knowledge and research in Brazil. More specifically, I argue that modern languages research draws on the digital culture for the development of its discipline and range of investigation. This essay is part of the ongoing study carried out by the Language Acts and Worldmakingproject and concludes that greater multilingual engagement is required within the Digital Humanities, as well as a more extensive understanding of how these two areas of contact communicate and collaborate.Keywords: Digital Culture; Research; Modern Languages; Digital Humanities.

The interpretation of children’s writings has often presented a particular challenge to Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums (GLAM), as the represented child has historically been deprived of agency, and children’s writings are neither ‘literature’ nor traditional display objects. In this article we will explore the methodologies of representation that are associated with the merging of children’s history and digital humanities. We will lay out an approach for digitally representing children’s writings held in museums. We will demonstrate the possibilities that have been put forward by librarians, archivists and curators internationally, and explore the tools and approaches that have emerged from the field of digital humanities for re-presenting the agency of the child creator and the child visitor within memory institutions. Moreover, in this article we will propose that the digital environment facilitates a critical site of experimentation in displaying children’s collections that allow creator, object, context, critique, and visitor to be equally valued.

The move towards the digital humanities will see a growing interest in digital tools, such as Ebooks. This study examines the opinions and perception of historians about how Ebooks and other digital tools affect the research process. Findings indicate that historians are concerned that the digital environment reduces the possibility of chance encounters with a text. They continue to recreate the environment that encourages serendipity to occur within their field, and would readily welcome tools that facilitate this.Le passage vers les humanités numériques ira en grandissant, grâce à la popularité des outils électroniques et des livres électroniques particulièrement. Cette étude examine les opinions et les perceptions des historiens quant aux livres électroniques et autres outils numériques dans le cadre de leur processus de recherche. Les résultats indiquent que les historiens se soucient du fait que l’environnement électronique puisse réduire les possibilités de découvertes fortuites dans les texte. Ils continuent de récréer un environnement qui suscite la sérendipité dans leur domaine et adopteraient volontiers un outil qui leur faciliterait la tâche à cet égard.

Based on the methodology of evolutionary economics and economic genetics in the development of foreign and Russian theoretical approaches to the study of the essence and content of ecosystems in modern economic science and their identification in economic practice, the article substantiates the objective necessity and significance of creating an institutional ecosystem of digital economy that is relevant to the priorities of the neo-industrialization of Russia as a part of the transition to the 6th technological mode. It is substantiated that the institutional ecosystem is an integral and obligatory component of the socio-economic ecosystem of digital economy. Main components of the institutional ecosystem of the digital economy of the Russian Federation are highlighted in the logical accordance with its structural elements (institutions, organizations and institutes that contribute to ensuring effective economic activity in the digital environment). The institutional barriers that impede technological modernization and digital transformation of modern Russian economy (non-systematic formation of the institutional environment of digital economy, discreteness of its institutional space in territorial, administrative and demographic aspects; underestimation of the role of the state institutions and state control mechanisms for the implementation of the digital scenario of economic development, etc. were identified. The author proposes the system of measures to overcome them, including: increasing the level of homogeneity and continuity of the institutional space of digital economy to ensure uniform “rules of the game” for participants in digital economic interactions; systematic formation of the institutional matrix, reflecting the structure of relations between the main institutional actors (government, business, consumers); activation of informal institutions of digital economy based on increasing the digital culture of entrepreneurs and citizens, developing their competencies in the digital consumption field, ensuring information security; overcoming institutional traps that reproduce opportunistic behavior in the digital environment and reduce the transactional effects of using digital technologies in the economic turnover.

The aim of the workis to investigate memeticity as a defining characteristic of modern communicative practices unfolding in the digital environment of the Internet. The research methodology consists in the application of analytical, semiotic, discursive, culturological methods in the study of memetics and memes as fundamental polymodal and interdiscursive objects of digital culture, acting as means of communication capable of forming social narratives and discourses through the prism of social semiotics. her identity. The scientific novelty of the work is that for the first time modern communicative practices of the digital environment are analyzed in terms of prevalence in their structure ofmemeticity and memetic communication; Memes, in turn, are considered not only as units of cultural information and entertainment content, but also as digital polysemes that have the ability to serve as a universal means of communication, explanation of reality, commenting on current events, promoting important norms and values. Conclusions. Over the last decade, memes have become a complex phenomenon of Internet communication and modern communication practices in general, which are characterized by memetics as an integral attribute. From the point of view of the development of modern digital information space, memes are understood as cultural information that is transmitted from person to person, but, at the same time, grows into a social phenomenon that shapes the thinking, behavior and actions of communities. Memes combine forms of intertextuality with elements of popular culture, emphasizing the dynamics of the real and virtual world and becoming an online discourse tool that gives users a sense of commitment to creating and participating in it and even influencing others. Given the discursive potential, polysemy, realized in memes, it is possible to understand the ability of these artifacts of digital culture to form new meanings and values, evaluative judgments. Memetics is a part of public communication that defines memes as texts created, disseminated and collectively transformed by various participants in participatory digital culture, enhancing socio-cultural integration in society, allowing co-thinkers to co-opt into a single symbolic space built on new precedents or precedents.

The DD represents the shift from a traditional jewelry Industrial District of networked Micro-Enterprises (MEs), namely artisans, tied to the physical dimension of a territory to a social and intangible digital environment in the virtual space which leverages a co-petitive crowdsourcing e-commerce platform. The innovative LMI platform enables young Italian artisans throughout Italy to feature an end-to-end global export business without intermediaries. Export wouldn't be viable to MEs by means of their small organizational structure, lack of digital culture and technologies. LMI copes with this issue, taking over MEs marketing, sales and logistics processes by earning a percentage on sales. An original complex approach to the analysis of the LMI value proposition issues is performed via methodologies integrating traditional methods with participated Design Thinking techniques.

ABSTRACT The majority of media theorists who have applied their work in new technological contexts have eschewed formal experimentation to produce a print-oriented mode of discourse. Even in the digital humanities, scholars build and use tools that ultimately lead to the creation of traditional academic essays and monographs. Applied Media Theory (AMT) is a method that engages in formal experimentation with media to generate critical discourses and technologies. This article identifies a new applied critical practice that not only examines, but also intervenes, in the formation of digital culture, primarily by combining digital art practices with conventional research methods. AMT is outlined here through a description of projects underway in the Critical Media Lab at the University of Waterloo.RÉSUMÉ La plupart des théoriciens des médias qui situent leurs travaux dans de nouveaux contextes technologiques préfèrent un discours orienté vers l’imprimé plutôt que des expérimentations sur la forme. Même dans l’étude des médias interactifs, les chercheurs développent et emploient des outils qui mènent ultimement à la création de monographies et d’articles traditionnels. La théorie médiatique appliquée est une approche où l’on effectue des expériences formelles avec les médias afin de générer des technologies et des discours critiques. Cet article identifie à ce titre une nouvelle pratique critique appliquée qui examine non seulement la formation de la culture numérique mais intervient aussi dans cette formation, principalement en combinant les pratiques d’art numérique et les méthodes de recherche conventionnelles. Cet article présente aussi la théorie médiatique appliquée en décrivant des projets en cours dans le Critical Media Lab de l’Université de Waterloo.

Education Culture

In the conditions of the intensive transformation of modern culture, due to the mass dig-italization of various spheres of society, the traditional education-culture relationship acquires significant features. A significant cultural layer (especially mass culture) is formed in the digital environment. Today's education requires that all subjects of the educational process not only correctly use the artifacts of this culture, but also successfully participate in its creation. One of the key conditions for solving this problem is the formation of a digital culture of employees of the educational organization. And effective management of the development of such a culture becomes an important managerial task of its leader. Of course, such a task requires the head of special competencies, which can be mastered by an effective system of continuing education of the education manager.
