In the present chapter, we map and characterize crowdsourcing and crowdfunding platforms that promote social entrepreneurship in the online universe. We first analyze relevant theoretical concepts and the existing literature on entrepreneurship, digital inclusion, information and open culture, digital culture, and social technologies to better understand the genesis and development of initiatives that promote social entrepreneurship in the online universe. Then, we map and describe the platforms that tried to encourage this type of entrepreneurship around the world, especially in Brazil. Finally, we examine some important aspects of the panorama of crowdfunding in Brazil. By exploring the current development of crowdfunding and crowdsourcing platforms at international level, we expect to contribute to the creation of new projects and policies that respond to the current demands of the network society.

AbstractThe following article was delivered as the annual lecture of the Methodist Sacramental Fellowship at the 2016 Methodist Conference in London. Beginning with the original context of John Wesley's well-known phrase, ‘the world as my parish’, this article explores the digital aspects of our global parish today. Putting the digital age on the agenda of the Church's mission is seen as a similar response to Wesley's decision to become ‘more vile’ and enter the world of field preaching. The lecture concludes by offering a fresh approach to Methodist identity magnified by aspects of digital culture, calling for the creation of digital Arminianism, digital field preaching, digital creativity and, ultimately, a digital parish. The article proposes that Methodism embrace a digital social holiness to spread scriptural holiness throughout the geographic and digital landscape.

Bottom of Pyramid 4.0: Modularising and Assimilating Industrial Revolution Cognition into a 4-Tiered Social Entrepreneurship Upliftment Model for Previously Disconnected Communities

Developing a sociopreneurial (social-entrepreneurship) ecosystem is a substantial long-term investment. Much like natural ecosystems, there are a multitude of support systems needed to maintain balance and diversity in sociopreneurial ecosystems and their interactions are complex in nature. Yet, the various benefits that arise from such ecosystems make them a worthwhile investment. Examples of this come from global universities and private companies who have succeeded in creating hubs of innovation and creativity in different cities around the world. These hubs have achieved commendable results and produced quality initiatives. Yet, there is little success beyond the walls of cities, especially in low income communities. Typically, Bottom of Pyramid (BoP) Entrepreneurs must either move to cities to make their entrepreneurial ambitions come true or settle for small business status. This is especially troubling given that their communities are often the ones that need their skills most. The article begins by discussing the concept of Bottom of the Pyramid (BoP) society. It argues that in the context of the knowledge era and the rise of the network society, the BoP is better named “the outer network society”. Using Industrial Engineering principles and systems thinking, the researcher designed a product range and upliftment model (collectively known as the ModulaRISE) that helps resolve most of the structural issues with developing a sustainable sociopreneurial ecosystem. The ModulaRISE model provides three core support structures that can assist in reversing this unfortunate brain drain: Education, Operation and Finance. Moreover, an overarching concern resolved with the model is the tiered system that helps bridge cognitive challenges of being exposed to Industry 4.0 futuristic technologies without the proper incentivized build up. The model has already been launched on a small scale with preliminary case studies showing significant promise. The vision is to develop a fully turn-key upliftment in a box model for BoP communities which connects them to the world and allows them to collaborate to mutually enrich their society and the global society. In concluding, it is discussed that since the majority of society (80%) lives in the outer network, it is fundamental for Industrial Engineers to help design new systems that connect these societies to resources (in the broadest sense) that can help them develop socio-economically and cognitively to be able integrate to the global network society.

1968: On Social, Epistemic, and Historiographic(?) Revolutions

Agent Of Change

This article addresses the meaning and significance of the “world revolution of 1968,” as well as the historiography of 1968. I critically interrogate how the production of a narrative about 1968 and the creation of ethnic studies, despite its world-historic significance, has tended to perpetuate a limiting, essentialized and static notion of “the student” as the primary actor and an inherent agent of change. Although students did play an enormous role in the events leading up to, through, and after 1968 in various parts of the world—and I in no way wish to diminish this fact—this article nonetheless argues that the now hegemonic narrative of a student-led revolt has also had a number of negative consequences, two of which will be the focus here. One problem is that the generation-driven models that situate 1968 as a revolt of the young students versus a presumably older generation, embodied by both their parents and the dominant institutions of the time, are in effect a sociosymbolic reproduction of modernity/coloniality’s logic or driving impulse and obsession with newness. Hence an a priori valuation is assigned to the new, embodied in this case by the student, at the expense of the presumably outmoded old. Secondly, this apparent essentializing of “the student” has entrapped ethnic studies scholars, and many of the period’s activists (some of whom had been students themselves), into said logic, thereby risking the foreclosure of a politics beyond (re)enchantment or even obsession with newness yet again.

Language being a potent vehicle of transmitting cultural values, norms and beliefs remains a central factor in determining the status of any nation. India is a multilingual country which tends to encourage people to use English at national and international level. Basically English in India owes its presence to the British but its subsequent rise is not fully attributable to the British. It has now become the language of wider communication which is now spoken by large number of people all over the world. It is influenced by many factors such as class, society, developments in science and technology etc. However the major influence on English language is and has been the media.

Every great fiction book is a book that portrays the uniqueness of the universe and man, the difficulty of breaking that bond, or the weakening of its bond and the increase in human. The creation of such a book is beyond the reach of all creators, and not all works can illuminate the cultural, spiritual and moral status of any nation in the world by unraveling the underlying foundations of humanity. With the birth of Hoja Ahmad Yassawi's “Devoni Hikmat”, the Turkic nations were recognized as a nation with its own book of teaching, literally, the encyclopedia of enlightenment, truth and spirituality.
