    Observing observers in social systems theory.: an interview with Hans-Georg Moeller

    No full text
    Este texto apresenta uma entrevista  com Hans-Georg Moeller, renomado  pesquisador no campo da teoria dos  sistemas sociais. Durante a conversa,  ele aponta alguns dos principais  aspectos das rupturas  epistemológicas  trazidas à teoria social pela abordagem construtivista radical de Niklas Luhmann. Um dos fenômenos que essa teoria ajuda a  detectar é a virada da sociedade  contemporânea para a observação de  segunda ordem: cada sistema social e  mesmo a representação social de cada pessoa são construídos por instâncias  de observação de observações, como  rankings e perfis. É uma nova forma de  produzir comunicação, elemento  básico da sociedade.On November 4th, 2019, Hans-Georg  Moeller delivered a presentation on  systems theory at the Law School of  the University of São Paulo and was  interviewed about Niklas Luhmann’s  theory of society, with emphasis on issues such as law, politics, and the  history of philosophy. Professor Moeller is the author of important books such as Luhmann explained: From souls to systems (Moeller, 2006) and The radical Luhmann (Moeller, 2011), the latter also translated to Japanese and Italian. He also works on Chinese philosophy and is currently Full Professor at the Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies in the Faculty of Arts and Humanities of the University of Macau, China. Throughout the interview, professor Moeller situated Luhmann in the philosophical tradition of German idealism and presented the shift to second-order observation as a crucial aspect of contemporary society, in  religion and politics, science, economy and law. The interview was conducted partly in writing and partly in the form of a recorded and transcribed debate.This text presents an interview with Hans-Georg Moeller, a renowned researcher in the field of social systems theory. During the conversation, he points out some of the main aspects of the epistemological ruptures brought about to social theory by Niklas Luhmann\u27s radical constructivist approach. One of the phenomena that this theory helps to detect is the turning of contemporary society to second-order observation: each social system and even the social representation of each person are built by instances of observation of observations, such as rankings and profiles. This is a new way of producing communication, the basic element of society

    Developments in SayMore: The language documentation tool for citizen scientists

    No full text
    Citizen scientists (who may be speakers of endangered languages) who want to document a language may conclude that the current bar for entry is too high. What to archive? How much metadata is needed? In fact, what is metadata? They need background training to know that the process of documentation must include translations, transcriptions, and metadata, as well as original recordings. But managing the ever-increasing data can be an insurmountable hurdle if done by hand. If this hurdle is passed, their corpus still needs to comply with the archive’s preferences before being deposited. SayMore is a software tool that allows citizen scientists to engage in language documentation without being hindered by the language of metadata, scared off by data management, or intimidated by the archiving process. SayMore knows the workflow of language documentation and guides the user through the steps, providing support for transcription and translations, and displaying progress charts that summarize the state of the whole corpus. First, SayMore elicits needed metadata through forms. Pre-defined fields prompt users to gather needed metadata by filling in the blanks. This means the user does not have to research what metadata is needed, or understand how to comply with metadata standards such as OLAC or IMDI, or how to generate XML files. Second, SayMore takes care of data management without distracting the user with technical details. Bundles of files are grouped into folders, and files are automatically renamed to reduce broken links due to typos. Third, SayMore automates the deposit of a well-formed corpus to an archive. With the click of a button, users can create a corpus package formatted to an archive’s specifications. The resulting deposits will enrich the accessibility of materials for language conservation and pedagogy. SayMore could and should allow any archive to receive well-formed corpora from any user, but for this, feedback is needed from more archives and users. This presentation will encourage dialogue about how this tool can be advanced. After describing how SayMore addresses these issues, the presentation will briefly describe a case study where the author used SayMore to build corpora of two endangered languages in the Caucasus Mountains. Over 500 recordings had been stored in random locations. Four people with no background in language documentation became involved by accomplishing easy tasks on SayMore such as filling in metadata forms

    Chinese Women Unbound gives a brief historical background of the status of women in China and presents a well documented history of the evolutionary process of Chinese women\u27s emancipation-from the first missionary school for girls in the 1840s, to the first females admitted to Beijing University in the late 1920s, the marriage law of 1950, and the divorce rate in the 1990s, among other events. The paper also discusses Chinese women\u27s involvement in the 1911-1912 revolution, the Communist revolution, and the modernization of Chinese economy. In narrating this evolutionary process, Moeller analyses the various forces behind the changes, as well as the social, cultural, and political issues that were intertwined with the women\u27s movement in China. The original version is 24- pages long; the article presented here is a condensation made for this publication by the author
