Distinguishing Next Society
No full textNext society differs from modern society in its use of electronic and digital media. Computers – encompassing platforms, programmes, algorithms and machine learning models – are beginning to participate in communication in a way that were previously exclusive to humans. This paper explores the concept of ‘interpenetration’, the mutual accessibility of the complexity among social systems, psychic systems and computers, to examine the distinctions that will shape this next society. Three key distinctions emerge: the distinction of communication between the local and the global, of perception between seeking irritants and protecting against them, and of the computer between predictive data and data space. Together, these distinctions define the ‘reality’ of the next society. A calculus of medium and form describes the operation that differentiates and reproduces this society: while its forms are unstable, its medium remains stable. Ultimately, the communication of digital data both constitutes and reproduces the next society. Data complement values as the two connective media of society – one operating at the normative, the other at the cognitive level

Where Do Women Win Primaries? Asymmetric Opportunity Theory in Congressional Nominations
No full textWomen remain descriptively underrepresented in Congress, with primary elections shown to contribute to this underrepresentation. Because the value of winning a primary depends on the district partisanship and incumbent status, we analyze the kinds of districts where women won congressional primaries between 2006 and 2020. Republican women were less likely than their Democratic counterparts to win primaries across all types of districts. Democratic women were less successful in competitive general election districts, suggesting concerns about ‘electability’ among primary voters when nominating women. Republican women ran less often in conservative districts—likely due to gendered perceptions about women’s suitability for office—contributing to the partisan asymmetry of women in Congress. In both parties, women were strategic in selecting where to run, rarely winning incumbent primaries and disproportionately targeting open seats. Our findings help clarify how the nomination process exacerbates the gender gap in descriptive representation in Congress
