Memory Practices

Resumo: Este artigo discorre sobre as práticas transversais da memória que circularam nas redes digitais durante a comemoração do centenário da escritora Clarice Lispector no ano de 2020. Nota-se que essas práticas acionam tanto acervos pessoais quanto editoriais da autora nas teias comunicacionais. Nesse ínterim, o fazer-memória se faz pela reapresentação das narrativas compreendidas nesses acervos. Assim, busca-se problematizar como essas práticas corroboram com a rememoração da autora e sua obra também na ambiência digital. Para tanto, aciona-se reflexões de estudiosos dos aspectos comunicacionais, arquivísticos e socioculturais da memória. Neste estudo de caso, adota-se como corpus os lançamentos comemorativos do site.claricelispector.ims.com.br, do Podcast da Clarice, da hashtag #365diasdeClarice nas redes sociais Facebook e Instagram e das edições especiais dos livros da escritora. Espera-se demonstrar como essas práticas comunicacionais e da memória podem contribuir para a renovação periódica do acervo literário e cultural de Clarice Lispector também no tempo presente. Palavras-chave: memória, acervo digital; literatura; centenário; Clarice Lispector. Abstract: In the meantime, memory-making is done by re-presenting the narratives included in these collections. Thus, the purpose is to comprehend how these practices corroborate the remembrance of the author and her work also in the digital environment. For this, reflections from scholars of the communicational, archival and socio-cultural aspects of memory are triggered. In this case study, commemorative inaugurations of site.claricelispector.ims.com.br, Clarice Podcast, hashtag # 365diasdeClarice on the social networks Facebook and Instagram and special editions of the writer's books are adopted as corpus. It is expected to demonstrate how these communication and memory practices can contribute to the periodic renewal of Clarice Lispector's literary and cultural collection also in the present time. Keywords: memory; digital collection; literature; centenary; Clarice Lispector.

This research describes the cultural obstacles in the communication oral and written between native speaker and non native speaker in English.  The obstacles of cultural is one of main obstacles in the  two peoples of communication in the different culural. The research,especially describes the one case of communication between Indonesian people and British people in the social media WhatsApp. The main data of the research is the communication transcript in the social media WhatsApp. Besides of that, the data comes from the interview with the responden.             The research is the case study of the Indonesian people and British people. The data analysis uses qualitative and descriptive method. The result of research shows the miscommunication from different cultural in English. This miscommunication not only caused of the skill of language(language competence) but also difference of cultural between of two peoples. Suggested  to the English learner that  not only learns in the languages aspects but also learns in the cultural aspects, because both of them coud not separate and interplay each others.

Unique Context

Social capital's rise in popularity is a phenomenon many have noted (Kadushin, 2006; Warde and Tampubolon, 2002; Portes, 1998). Although the concept is a relatively old one, it is the works of Bourdieu (1986), Coleman (1988; 1990), and Putnam (1993, 2000) that often get credited for popularizing the concept. These three, while sharing a view that social networks are important for social groups and society, place differing levels of emphasis on the role of networks in building trust or the exchange of various types of resources. In this paper, I briefly revisit these three theorists, and the criticisms each have received, to provide background for discussing recent research on social capital from a social networks approach. The social network approach is then applied to my own case study looking at the relations among not-for-profits, and special attention is given to the unique context of not-for-profits, and how this context might elaborate or challenge current thoughts on social, aka ‘network’ capital. A final discussion is also given to some measurement problems with the network approach to social capital.

Collection Methods

To test the efficacy of nominative technique within a small sample, we performed a total of 179 semi-structured interviews in Luang Prabang, northern Laos, in August 2017 and April 2019, using the domestic consumption of bears in northern Lao People’s Democratic Republic (hereafter Laos) as our case study. We also assessed whether the specialised questioning technique of nominative technique could be used within qualitative data collection methods, such as semi-structured interviews. The technique theoretically ensures more accurate statements of illegal wildlife consumption behaviour, by maintaining the anonymity of an individual’s sensitive behaviour through asking about the behaviour of peers. We also directly asked about participants’ use of bear bile. Nominative technique showed that approximately 11% of the participants’ peers used bear products, with respondents’ direct admittance of using bear bile was nearly double, at 23%. Use of bear parts appears to not be sensitive in northern Laos. In addition, a strong association was found between nominative technique and direct questioning responses, which indicates that users of bear parts have social networks with higher levels of use. This lends supports to theories that use of wildlife products is directly influenced by the social group. The underreporting found through nominative technique indicates the high variability of response that can occur within small samples; however, these results show that nominative technique may be a simple, useful tool for triangulating data, assessing users’ integration into social networks of use, and assessing changes in behaviour prevalence.

Labour Market Outcomes

The concept of social capital has become an explanatory variable for the labour market outcomes of immigrants. The primary aim of this paper is to investigate the type and quality of social capital within the social networks of Somalis in Toronto and how this affects the labour market outcomes of these individuals. A secondary, but related objective is to investigate the influence that living in an ethnically concentrated area may have on the types of people Somalis are tied to. Accordingly this paper will address three main questions: 1) What kind of social capital is embedded in the social networks of Somalis in Toronto? 2) How does the social capital present within the social networks of Somalis affect their labour market opportunities in Toronto? and 3) Does living in an ethnically concentrated neighbourhood lead to the accumulation of more ethnic ties than not living in an ethnically concentrated neighbourhood?

Analysis Of Social Networks

In an environment characterized by high unemployment rates among people with disabilities, the objective of the present work is to analyze entrepreneurship as a labor option which fully inserts people with intellectual disabilities (PwID) into their societies. In order to carry out this research, a case study methodology based on social network analysis has been adopted, given the nature of the variables analyzed. The results indicate that the fact of having managed to start up the company has been an important source of self-confidence and inspiration, as well as increasing and intensifying the social networks of PwID involved in the entrepreneurial project.

In October 2014, the University of California Irvine (UCI) Special Collections and Archives acquired a born digital collection of 2.5 terabytes – the largest born digital collection acquired by the department to date. This case study describes the challenges we encountered when applying existing archival procedures to appraise, store, and provide access to a large born digital collection. It discusses solutions when they could be found and ideas for solutions when they could not, lessons learned from the experience, and the impact on born-digital policy and procedure at UCI Libraries. Working with a team of archivists, librarians, IT, and California Digital Library (CDL) staff, we discovered issues and determined solutions that will guide our procedures for future acquisitions of large and unwieldy born digital collections.

An analysis is made of experiences and spatial effects of commuting by air with on-site accommodation for the purposes of resource extraction in sparsely populated areas. The case concerned is that of the Forrestania Nickel Mines in Western Australia, owned by the Outokumpu Group and opened in January 1993. Comparison is made with the Zaldivar Mine in Chile. This case study demonstrates that the reasons for the growth of airborne long-distance commuting lie in the increasing technical and economic possibilities for organising commuting between urban agglomerations and remote working sites, the introduction of compressed and rotational work schedules and the lifestyle and behaviour of the employees themselves, all of which factors favour long-distance commuting. Long-distance commuting causes a marked bifurcation in the life of an employee, as his working life and home life are entirely separate. His social ties and family are rooted in the social networks of his actual domicile, and many employees aspire to live in a metropolitan environment, as the availability of services, lifestyle, environment and social networks to be found there foster an attachment with their domiciles, whereas rural mining localities are not attractive for permanent dwelling and are thus not viable housing options if long-distance commuting is available. This increasing long-distance commuting restructures urban and rural housing and infrastructures. The spatial structure related to mining becomes fragmented, and it becomes a combination of various resource communities connected to home localities by different models of commuting operating over unpredictable. The paper demonstrates clearly that sophisticated technology, efforts to improve economic efficiency and individual preferences may lead to fundamental changes in the spatial structures of sparsely populated areas.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the application of social networks in assisting out-of-class interactions in the context of Vietnam. A group of lecturers and students from the Faculty of Economics and Business Administration, Dalat University was chosen to participate in a pilot scheme, using a social network called Edmodo to assist the out-of-class interactions between lecturers and students in the courses in charge in one academic year. The results show that the social network improves the efficiency of out-of-class interactions among participants and receive positive feedbacks from both students and lecturers. The results also indicate that the use of social networks in education is feasible and will improve the teaching and learning efficiency. However, the results also suggest that lecturers should carefully plan academic activities and provide students with proper incentives to motivate their participation into the class online interactive activities.

The paper explores the form and content of economic interaction of firms based on various concepts of agglomeration and social networks. It uses a case study of the machinery sector in the region of Styria as empirical background. Starting with types of clustering – the model of pure agglomeration, the industrial-complex model and the social-network model - the paper argues that certain geographical agglomerations allow different types of networks and different patterns of behaviour. Thus different forms of learning, knowledge sharing and knowledge creation. Some “stylized facts” in support of this perspective are derived from an analysis of a regional network. This network comprises individualistic open systems consisting of several areas which overlap. Physical linkages between these networks are weak, but intersections based on cooperative R&D and R&D infrastructure, qualification and informal exchanges are evident. From a regional perspective it can be seen to dominate. Despite evident sectoral concentrations direct links to the prevailing science base appear more significant as binding factors than long term supplier networks. These relationships are interpreted in terms of their need for proximity, their durability and above all their direction of knowledge dependency.
