In the age of post-truth, the social network society lives in several spaces and times simultaneously. This kind of society inhabits the virtual environment as well as the real one and soon, when they coincide, it will no longer be able to distinguish between one and the other, with the same difficulty as it has today in recognising true from false. The virtual environment, made up of algorithms, bots, filter bubbles and fake news, thus becomes the new context in which we exist, and, as designers, we have a duty to consider it as a new possible context of and for design. The contribution aims to analyse how this new artificial environment affects the life, identity and pathologies of the person/user, considered a key element of the design project. An exploration that therefore aims to understand the new design paradigms of today and tomorrow, throw the analysis of case studies and theoretical reflections.

The article follows the narrative trend initiated by the social media posts and fake news during the first months of the corona quarantine, which claims that the decrease of contamination due to the quarantine has a positive effect on the environment and nature recovery. The author describes the context of the topic and follows the changes in the rhetoric through different genres, discussing the ways in which a picture can tell a truthful story. What is the relation between the context, truth, and rhetoric? This material spread globally, yet it was also readily “translated” into the Estonian context, and – what is very characteristic of the entire pandemic material – when approaching this material, truthful and fabricated texts, photos, and videos were combined. From the folkloristic point of view, these rumours in the form of fake news, first presented in the function of a tall tale and further following the sliding truth scale of legends, constitute a part of coping strategies, so-called crisis humour, yet, on the other hand, also a belief story presenting positive imagery, which surrounds the mainly apocalyptically perceived pandemic period and interprets the human existence on a wider scale. Even if these fake news and memes have no truth value, they communicate an idea – nature recovers – and definitely offer hope and a feeling of well-being.

Virtual Hotel Operator (VHO) trend is growing rapidly, especially in Indonesia. Two of the most popular VHO in Indonesia are OYO and RedDoorz, both have been competing to attain the first position. Both OYO and RedDoorz have their own social media marketing strategies. For example, OYO persuades other conventional hotels to collaborate and use the OYO platform in their businesses. On the other hand, RedDoorz was recorded as the most visited Virtual Hotel Operator Platform in 2019, based on the data of Konsumen Jakpat 2019. OYO and RedDoorz also utilize social media to promote their services such as Instagram and Twitter. For advertising their businesses in social media, OYO and RedDoorz often use some social media influencers or known as influencer social media marketing. Influencers should be able to effectively deliver the messages and influence people’s decisions to use the products or services they advertise. This study aims to further explore the social media marketing strategy employed by OYO and RedDoorz. The results of Social Network Analysis by using “oyoindonesia” and ‘reddoorz’ as keywords in social media Twitter showed that RedDoorz has a bigger social network and more users involved in spreading their information than OYO. On the other hand, OYO's official account on Twitter is more efficient in performing its function as marketing media.

Movies are everyday entertainment for people in their daily lives. There are a lot of foreign movies that are being played in Indonesian theatres. Unfortunately, there are many places where people watch the movie with the subtitles that are not created by the professional translators. The Social Network was translated by more than one translator. This research was conducted to analyze how accurate the translation is and what the similarities and differences between the translators are. This study is a qualitative descriptive study, which analyzes the slang word translation accuracy in the movie The Social Network using Newmark theories of translation quality assessment. The finding of the study showed that the translation from both of the translators is accurate enough and there is almost no inaccurate translation, also there are several slang words that are not included in the data of the previous study, but the writer found on subtitle the data of the other two translators.Keywords: Slang, Translation, Accuracy


The traditional research approaches common in different disciplines of social sciences centered around one half of the social realm: the actors. The other half are the relations established by these actors and forming the basis of “social.” The social structure shaped by these relations, the position of the actor within this structure, and the impact of this position on the actor are mostly excluded by the traditional research methods. In this chapter, the authors introduce social network analysis and how it complements the other methods.

In this paper, we analyze two social network datasets of contemporary musicians constructed from allmusic.com (AMG), a music and artists' information database: one is the collaboration network in which two musicians are connected if they have performed or produced an album together, and the other is the similarity network in which they are connected if they were musically similar according to the music experts. We find that, while both networks exhibit typical features of social networks such as high transitivity (clustering), we find that they differ significantly in some key network features such as the degree and the betweenness distributions. We believe that this highlights the fundamental differences in the construction mechanism (self-organized collaboration and human-perceived similarity) of the new networks.

A permanent herd of Icelandic horses with four stallions and their harems was studied for a total of 316 hours in a large pasture (215 ha) in May 2007 in Iceland. Interactions between stallions of different harems and other aspects of the horses' behaviour were studied. One stallion and nine horses were introduced into the pasture prior to the study to examine the reactions of the resident stallions to a newcomer. The stallions spent significantly less time grazing than other horses and were more vigilant. Home ranges overlapped, but harems never mixed. The stallions prevented interactions between members of different harems indirectly by herding. Generally, interactions between resident stallions were nonviolent. However, encounters with the introduced stallion were more aggressive and more frequent than between the other stallions. Here, we show that four harems can share the same enclosure peacefully. The social network seems to keep aggression at a low level both within the harems and the herd as a whole. We encourage horse owners to consider the feasibility of keeping their horses in large groups because of low aggression and because such a strategy gives the young horses good opportunities to develop normally, both physically and socially.

ABSTRACT: Utilization of the Center for Orangutan Protection (COP) 2 social network in Kalimantan. With the limited number of human resources compared to the wide scope of work in all of Kalimantan, COP makes use of its social networks to meet the needs and the functioning of the organization. In investigative activities, COP has effectively used weak ties to obtain information on the whereabouts of orangutans and the destruction of their habitat. The policies in this activity are also dominated by central actors through their power networks which result in network stability. In contrast to the use of social networks for educational activities, local actors are more dominant in making program policies and work patterns. In the alternation between actors from time to time, there are differences in assumptions and work patterns of the actors in charge, resulting in differences in utilization results and potential network damage. COP can utilize its social network in fulfilling its function as an NGO campaigning for the protection and rescue of orangutans, but on the other hand, COP's bonding social network only connects this NGO with similar organizations, limited to handling cases of orangutans and their habitat. Supporting nature conservation, such as economic, social, and cultural, as part of the needs of the community around the ring habitat is not fulfilled. ABSTRAK: Pemanfaatan jaringan sosial Centre for Orangutan Protection (COP)2 di Kalimantan. Dengan keterbatasan jumlah SDM dibanding luasnya cakupan kerja di seluruh Kalimantan, COP memanfaatkan jaringan sosialnya untuk memenuhi kebutuhan dan berjalannya fungsi organisasi. Dalam kegiatan investigasi COP efektif menggunakan ikatan lemah untuk memperoleh informasi keberadaan orangutan dan perusakan habitatnya. Kebijakan dalam aktivitas ini pun didominasi aktor pusat melalui jaringan powernya yang menghasilkan stabilitas jaringan. Berbeda dengan pemanfaatan jaringan sosial untuk kegiatan edukasi, aktor lokal lebih dominan mengambil kebijakan program dan pola kerja. Dalam pergantian antar aktor pada masa ke masa terdapat perbedaan asumsi dan pola kerja aktor-aktor yang bertugas sehingga menimbulkan perbedaan hasil pemanfaatan hingga potensi terjadinya kerusakan jaringan. COP mampu memanfaatkan jaringan sosialnya dalam memenuhi fungsinya sebagai LSM yang mengkampanyekan perlindungan dan penyelamatan orangutan, namun sisi lainnya jaringan sosial COP yang bersifat bonding (tertutup) hanya menghubungkan LSM ini dengan organisasi sejenis terbatas pada penanganan kasus orangutan dan habitatnya. Pendukung konservasi alam seperti ekonomi, sosial dan budaya sebagai bagian dari kebutuhan masyarakat di sekitar ring habitat tak terpenuhi.

Enterprise 2.0, or E2.0, refers to a set of organisational and technological approaches steered to enable new organisational models based on open involvement, emergent collaboration, knowledge sharing, and internal/external social network development and exploitation. It aims to respond to the new features and needs of people and boosts flexibility, adaptability, and innovation. Based on evidence from 52 case studies, a survey and a co-laboratory approach conducted by the Observatory on E2.0, the chapter analyses the social enterprise approach, which is one of the emerging E2.0 models. Specifically, this chapter reports the application areas (such as social network and community and unified communication & collaboration), the barriers for sales and marketing, and finally, the managerial guidelines.

Charles Johnstone’s Chrysal, or the Adventures of a Guinea, is an “it-narrative” about the transatlantic circulation of a coin, so it is only appropriate that it appealed to readers in colonial America due to their transactions in people, currency, and objects. By studying how this book circulated in Charleston, South Carolina—the port made most wealthy by slave trading—and in the other colonies, this chapter asks questions about the separation of objects and objectified people like slaves in the period, exploring how the colonial reception of “it-narratives” helped produce a distinction between them for anti-slavery purposes. By centering its analysis on the social network of enslavers constitutive of the Charleston Library Society, the consumption of novels such as Samuel Richardson’s Pamela by Eliza Lucas Pinckney and others can now be seen as slavery-enabled reading. It shows an extreme example of investment of slavery money into tasteful imports like books.

We present a preliminary theory of innovation in social work science. The focus of the piece is two case studies from our work that illustrate the social nature of innovations in the science of social work. This inductive theory focuses on a concept we refer to as transformative innovation, wherein two sets of individuals who possess different expertise and different network connections come together to solve a problem and in so doing transfer ideas from one network and field of expertise to the other. This transfer of ideas inevitably involves the transformation of ideas, such that the final innovation is something new to both groups of people, and as such innovative.
