Rodrigo Roa Duterte: A Jingoist, Misogynist, Penal Populist
Authors:   European Center for Populism Studies (ECPS), Bulent Kenes
Published: February 2022

Around the world, populists are associated with economically irresponsible and unsustainable policies. In Rodrigo Duterte’s case in Philippines, the action‐oriented dimension is demonstrated through his tough rhetoric and policies against criminal and anti-social activity, particularly the use of illegal drugs. This is described as the new penal populism.
Erdogan’s Political Journey: From Victimised Muslim Democrat to Authoritarian, Islamist Populist
Authors:   European Center for Populism Studies (ECPS), Yilmaz Ihsan
Published: February 2022

With “the people” on his side, Recep Tayyip Erdogan has changed the very fabric of Turkish society. Turkey has been changing from an oppressive Kemalist state to an aggressive autocratic and vindictive Islamist state. All opposition is securitised and deemed “the enemy,” state institutions spread Erdoganism’s populist narratives, and democratic checks and balances have been successfully dismantled.
Populism, Violence, and Vigilantism in Indonesia: Rizieq Shihab and His Far-Right Islamist Populism
Authors:   European Center for Populism Studies (ECPS), Yilmaz Ihsan , Barton Greg
Published: February 2022

Muhammad Rizieq Shihab has been one of the most well-known faces of the far-right in Indonesia since the late 1990s. As a radical Islamist scholar with links to Saudi Arabia, Shihab has spent the last three decades as an anti-state voice of the “pious Muslim majority” in Indonesia. He claims to position himself as a “righteous” and “fearless” leader who is dedicated to defending Islam—the faith of “the people.” In 2020 Shihab was arrested for holding large public gatherings, as part of his ‘moral revolution’ campaign, in the middle of pandemic lockdowns. However, his radical Salafist message continues to inspire thousands to action.
Richard B. Spencer: The founder of alt-right presents racism in a chic new outfit
Authors:   European Center for Populism Studies (ECPS), Kenes Bulent
Published: February 2022

Richard Bertrand Spencer is a well-groomed, well-educated advocate for the creation of a “white ethno-state” in North America for a “dispossessed white race.” He has also called for “peaceful ethnic cleansing” to halt the “deconstruction” of what he describes as “white culture” and to achieve a “white homeland.” Spencer has become the most recognizable public face of the white supremacist and nationalist movements. As an ardent white supremacist and ethnonationalist, Spencer says America belongs to white people, who he claims have higher average IQs than Hispanics and African Americans, and that the latter are genetically predisposed to crime. In Spencer’s “America,” Asians, Muslims, and Jews don’t qualify as “white” either.
The Sweden Democrats: Killer of Swedish Exceptionalism
Authors:   European Center for Populism Studies (ECPS), Bulent Kenes
Published: February 2022

Like all liberal democracies, Sweden also faces challenges associated with globalization, international migration, and growing inequality. Despite its reputation as a moral superpower, Sweden is not immune to racism, nationalism, xenophobia, Islamophobia, and anti-immigrant sentiment. Sweden Democrats (SD), which originated from an extreme right-wing milieu, represents populist radical-right in Sweden. Since the party had its roots in Swedish fascism and white nationalism, the SD has failed to present a respectable façade so far.
Jobbik: A Turanist Trojan Horse in Europe?
Authors:   European Center for Populism Studies (ECPS), Bulent Kenes
Published: February 2022

Defined as Turanist, Eurasianist, pro-Russian, pro-Iranian, anti-immigrant but pro-Islam, racist, antisemitic, anti-Roma, Hungarist, and radically populist, Jobbik do not exist in a vacuum. The rise of Jobbik from deep nationalist, antisemitic, and anti-Roma currents in Hungarian politics dates back to the late 1980s and early 1990s. Despite its extensive efforts at “image refurbishment” in recent years, Jobbik remains a populist, revisionist, racist, radical right-wing party that threatens to destabilize Hungary, the neighboring region, and the EU.
The Proud Boys: Chauvinist poster child of far-right extremism
Authors:   European Center for Populism Studies (ECPS), Bulent Kenes
Published: February 2022

The Proud Boys is a far-right, anti-immigrant, all-male group who have been known to use violence against left-wing opponents. The group describes themselves as “Western chauvinists,” by which they mean “men who refuse to apologise for creating the modern world”. The group, which is the new face of far-right extremism, one that recruits through shared precarity and male grievances promotes and engages in political violence.
The AKP’s Authoritarian, Islamist Populism: Carving out a New Turkey
Authors:   European Center for Populism Studies (ECPS), Yilmaz Ihsan
Published: February 2022

The global tide of populism will leave a profound mark on Turkey. The ruling Justice and Development Party’s (AKP) success during the past two decades, has hinged on Islamist authoritarian populism and been driven by its long-time leader, Recep Tayyip Erdogan. “New Turkey” is now a reality. The AKP has been successful at dismantling the Kemalist ideals – ironically, perhaps, by using similarly repressing techniques, such as cracking down on civil liberties and democratic rights.
CasaPound Italy: The Sui Generis Fascists of the New Millennium
Authors:   European Center for Populism Studies (ECPS), Kenes Bulent
Published: February 2022

CasaPound Italy is one of the most interesting and ambiguous populist right-wing extremist groups emerged in Europe. Its supporters say they are not ‘racist’ but are against immigration because of its impact on wages and houses; not antisemitic, but anti-Israel vis-à-vis Palestine; not homophobic, but supporters of the ‘traditional family’. Never before there was in Italy an explicitly neo-fascist group enjoying the strategic viability and the marge of political manoeuvre that was secured today by the CasaPound. Although CasaPound remains substantially marginal from an electoral point of view, its visibility in the Italian system is symptomatic of the ability of the extreme right to assimilate populist and alternative agendas in order to increase the attractiveness of their communication campaigns.
On the Political Economy of Populism: The Decline of the Turkish Economy under Erdoğan’s Populist-Authoritarian Regime
Authors:   European Center for Populism Studies (ECPS), Ozturk Ibrahim
Published: February 2022

Whether it adopts a right- or left-wing ideology or it is embraced as a belief or a set of ideals, and no matter the strategy or tactics, populism, in the final analysis, is a way of seizing power, and differences between the different strands carry significant repercussions. Many diverse economic, political, and cultural factors have been put forward to explain the rise of populism. One leader who has drawn increasing attention on the crest of the most recent wave of populism is Turkey’s incumbent president, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. After a period of progressive and democratic leadership through to 2007, Erdoğan’s fundamental beliefs and personality surfaced, and the entire process was reversed, with devastating consequences for Turkey. This article argues that Erdoğan’s Islamist–nationalist populism has been one of the primary triggers of Turkey’s current political and economic meltdown. Moreover, his populist rhetoric has weakened Turkey’s already fragile autonomous institutions and paved the way for reform reversals and incoherent economic policy. Taken together, Erdoğanism has brought a woeful deterioration in macroeconomic indicators, including rampant inflation, mounting national debt, massive unemployment, rising poverty, and a profound currency shock.

Climate Change Vulnerability and Sustainable Urbanisation in Sub-Saharan African
Authors: Bitting Cyrille Dominick , Atangana Benedicte DAlmeida Ngah , Tabi Henri Ngoa
Published: February 2022

This study investigates the role of climate change vulnerability in sustainable urbanisation using a panel of 31 Sub-Saharan African countries over the period 2000-2017. The study employs a dynamic model based on a sequential linear panel data estimator. The results show that the high levels of climate change vulnerability are associated with a decrease in sustainable urbanisation in Sub-Saharan Africa. More specifically, only the adaptative capacity component of climate change vulnerability has a significant negative influence on sustainable urbanization. The role of climate change vulnerability on sustainable urbanization seems to be robust to the sensitivity analysis and the GMM estimator. Otherwise, the results also show that GDP per capita and Foreign Direct Investment positively affect sustainable urbanisation, while industrialisation and migration rate have negative effects on it in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Civilization Needs Sustainable Energy – Fusion Breeding May Be Best
Authors: Manheimer Wallace
Published: February 2022

Civilization requires power. For a while it can get by with the power supplies we currently use, fossil fuel, nuclear fuel; and hydroelectric, solar and wind. Only the last 3 are sustainable. The first two will run out as some point, very likely well before the end of this century, especially if the less developed parts of the world come up to OECD standards. This paper makes the case that solar and wind are not up to the job, and neither is pure fusion, at least in this century. However, using fusion to breed fissile material for current nuclear reactors could play an important role well before century’s end. The requirements on a fusion device used as a breeder are considerably relaxed from the requirements for pure fusion. It is likely that an ITER type device, could be used for fusion breeding on a large scale. Fusion breeding can support nuclear fuel for civilization, at 30- 40 terawatts (TW), at least as far into the future as the dawn of civilization was in the past.
Leges Artis

The state of the art

This article was written by Claudia Mazzucato for The International Journal of Restorative Justice 21(2) and translated for our thematic issue. Mazzucato explains that there is something in restorative justice that resembles art. In her view restorative justice is made of the same fabric. Both deal with ‘creativity and rigour, imagination and insight, preparation and improvisation, vocation and inclination, talent and skill’. Both trigger innovation and have a political dimension when identifying problems and look for transformations or cultural change. The use of art in the restorative field is growing and visible in literature, paintings, theatre and films. Art can become a sort of mediator of restorative encounters or can give a concrete shape to stories that otherwise cannot be told. The author asks questions about liaisons between restorative justice, law and art. The leges artis of restorative justice are values and standards as drafted by the United Nations and Council of Europe. Do they nourish criminal justice in terms of beauty? To a certain extent yes. A challenging task of the art of restorative justice is in her view: ‘to approach the complexity of the quest for justice in the real world, combining hard and soft skills harmonically, and complying rigorously with the proper restorative leges artis, in order to amend in democratic ways what has proved wrong and harmful, and to prospectively avoid its reoccurrence’.

Exploring restorative Justice, the media documentary Inside the Distance

Brunilda Pali described in 2015 the work of the American digital and media artist Sharon Daniel (University of California in Santa Cruz) in a special publication as a result of an interdisciplinary, international arts research collaboration. The new-media documentary Inside the Distance was shown in the StuK Art Center Leuven in that period and included fragments of restorative justice encounters. It was an effort to test the potential for activist art practice to have a direct role in changing social conditions. Brunilda Pali said: ‘In interacting with Sharon Daniel, we had the opportunity to create a focused dialogue, addressing the intersection of artistic and social practices. This project has brought together, research, art, theory, and practice in a very innovative and interesting way.’ The exhibition also investigated whether a new imagining of affect and responsiveness is possible through the use of specific visual, narrative, poetic, and formal frameworks. These reflections reveal the uniqueness of the work of Sharon Daniel and can also be seen as ‘art for social change’ by showing stories of marginalized people who otherwise are not heard.
De inzet van digitale communicatie en technologie in herstelbemiddeling

Using digital (online) means during victim-offender mediation

Using digital (online) means (for example video calling) to facilitate communication between victims, offenders and mediators during victim-offender mediation (VOM) is not common practice, but has been employed more frequently during the corona pandemic. Do such digital means have added value for restorative justice practices, even when corona measures no longer hinder offline communication? This contribution shares some of the findings from the PhD project of Florian Bonensteffen, that focuses on the potential (dis) advantages of implementing digital communication and technologies in the VOM field in the Netherlands. In a qualitative study based on interviews with victims, offenders and mediators, the perceived applicability and ease of using digital communication forms in the VOM process were examined. Findings indicate that such forms are perceived to promote the emotional well-being of victims and offenders in cases where meeting face-to-face might be too stressful (e.g. due to fear), as well as can provide for a richer exchange than current offline forms of letter exchanges or shuttle mediation. Perceived interpersonal disadvantages of digital communication during VOM were mentioned only in comparison to face-to-face meetings and involved a limited exchange of non-verbal and contextual information about the other party, and less control over the digital dialogue for the mediator. Practical disadvantages centered around privacy and technical stability concerns. The findings suggest that digital forms of communication such as videoconferencing and -messages during VOM have the potential to fill the void between current offline direct (face-to-face) and indirect forms (letter exchange and shuttle mediation) – if such digital means are well-prepared and the privacy of parties is safeguarded.

Published: February 2022

The proper disposal of solid waste is considered a challenge to many Brazilian municipalities that still dispose of their waste in controlled landfills and dumps, major causes of environmental liabilities. As the soil is one of the environmental components most affected by this practice, the objective of this work is to evaluate the vegetative development of sunflower and jack bean cultivated in soil with environmental liability arising from inadequate disposal of solid waste. Soil samples were collected from a deactivated dump located in the west of São Paulo and a control sample, in order to compare the development of species in different soils. The study was carried out in a greenhouse, from the Design of Randomized Blocks, with sixteen experimental plots, during 45 days. Soil fertility parameters and biomass production of the species were evaluated. The results were submitted to analysis of variance and the Tukey mean comparison test. There was a significant influence of solid waste on the availability of nutrients in the soil, which showed high levels of macronutrients and organic matter. The pig bean species stood out for its higher biomass production compared to sunflower, which indicates the possibility of using this species in the phytoremediation of this environmentally passive soil.

The phytoremediation is an alternative in the decontamination of the environment, in which plants capable of absorbing contaminating ions are used. Thereby, the scientific research aims to verify if the corn can phytoextract, accumulate, hyperaccumulate and tolerate toxic metals in the plant biomass in anthropically contaminated soils. The experimental design was completely randomized, consisting of four treatments with four replications, totaling sixteen portions for each contaminant. The application of metals and EDTA were carried out in the form of a solution, contaminating the soil 46 days after maize maturation in pots. The concentrations were above the intervention values of CETESB. Soil and plant tissues analyzes were performed by the Atomic Absorption Spectrometer, which resulted in significant concentrations. The results of the Analysis of Variance and post-hoc Tukey's Test, suffered a reduction in dry biomass and an increase in the accumulated amount. Corn was tolerant to the highest dose of lead, but it was intolerant to the highest doses of cadmium and chromium. Thus, the results indicated that the maize phytoextracted contaminants efficiently, but it cannot be used as a phytoremediator in contaminated sites because they cause food poisoning for the living beings, once corn is used in Brazil and worldwide for animal feed and for the food industry of high nutritional and energy qualities.

Nichts Jenseits des Nihilismus
Authors: Nancy Jean-Luc , Morin Marie-Eve , Holloway Travis ,   DePaul University
Published: February 2022

Nihilism, as the absence of sense and goal, is the most familiar climate of the world in which we live. While this absence is often denounced, such denunciations remain subject to the logic they seemingly oppose. More than exhibiting the collapse of truth, however, nihilism revives our confrontation with “nothing.” The task is henceforth not to denounce nihilism but to think it. Such thinking is guided by Nietzsche’s highest thought: How does nihilism harbor its own excess?
Comparison of Two Morphine Dosing Strategies in the Management of Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome
Authors: Harris John Brock , Holmes Amy P.
Published: February 2022

OBJECTIVE

The incidence of neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) has increased in recent years. Treatment approaches usually involve opioid replacement; however, the optimal treatment strategy is unknown. This study sought to determine the impact of weight- and symptom-based morphine dosing strategies on LOS and medication exposure in patients with NAS.

METHODS

A retrospective review was conducted from May 2015 to June 2017 at 2 NICUs within a health-system using different dosing approaches for NAS. Data were compared using Fisher exact tests for categorical data and t tests and Wilcoxon ranked sums for continuous data.

RESULTS

Baseline demographics were well-matched except for postmenstrual age at morphine initiation (p = 0.04). The weight-based group had a larger initial morphine dose (p < 0.001) and fewer number of steps to maximum morphine dose (p = 0.009). There were no differences between groups in LOS, number of dose adjustments, doses administered, weaning steps, maximum dose, or need to re-escalate dosing. There was also no difference between the first 3 modified Finnegan scores (MFS) after transferring patients to a neonatology service. Neonates with symptom-based dosing had a higher maximum MFS (p = 0.024). Neonates in the symptom-based group required adjunct therapy more often (p < 0.0001).

CONCLUSIONS

Data indicate the dosing strategy impacts number of steps to reach maximum dose and need for adjunctive therapy. Weight-based dosing may decrease the number of steps required to reach the morphine maximum dose and the need for adjunctive therapy by controlling NAS symptoms earlier.
A Qualitative Study on The Function of Information and Communication Technology Utilization in Teaching Students with Intellectual Disabilities: Implications for Techniques of Teaching/Job Coaching
Authors: Maebara Kazuaki , Yamaguchi Asuka , Suzuki Toru , Imai Aya
Published: February 2022

Background: Recently, the use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in education has been promoted in Japan. However, teachers do not yet fully understand using ICT for persons with intellectual disabilities.
Objective: This study clarifies the support functions of ICT as perceived by teachers involved in special needs education (support for students with intellectual disabilities).
Methods: We conducted in-depth interviews with five teachers involved in special-needs education. We qualitatively analyzed the interview data obtained using content analysis.
Results: From the interviews, 53 ICT-utilization episodes were obtained. These episodes were categorized into 13 categories of utilization and seven aspects of support: understanding, communication, behavior, meta-cognition, environment, memory, and opportunities.
Conclusion: ICT is a beneficial tool to compensate for intellectual disabilities and help students with intellectual disabilities learn better. We believe that teachers can better assist students with intellectual disabilities by successfully matching individual needs with the ICT features. The results obtained in this study will be helpful while considering support for persons with intellectual disabilities, not only in education but also in vocational training, employment support, and telework support for persons with intellectual disabilities.

Published: February 2022

Background: In a preschool setting, childcare is usually provided to children with disabilities or potential features as well. In this study, we hypothesized that parents might have additionally consulted commissioned pediatricians when their children were reportedly abused by schoolteachers as well as following legitimate grievance procedures.

Aims: To estimate the prevalence rate of children with disabilities being abused at nursery schools in Japan, the authors asked the help of commissioned pediatricians of nursery schools.

Methods: We sent a questionnaire to 1,607 members of the Japanese Society for Well-being of Nursery-schoolers, who are specialists known to be highly sensitive to abuses. Incident reports from the second half of 2012 to the fiscal year 2014 were collected from 361 members who replied.

Results: In total, three respondents, including one pediatrician, had received a complaint(s) from parents that their child with disabilities had been abused by a teacher. No details on each case were provided.

Conclusion: Thus, the need for another assessment to administrative was indicated.

Understanding the consumer preferences and needs for new products is really important to support the acceptance and marketing success of a product. This study associated the preferences with emotional responses to various ready-to-eat and fresh food products. The objective was to obtain the preference based on emotional responses from different superior mango cultivars named agri gardina 45 (AG), gadung 21 (GD), red garifta (GM) and orange garifta (GO). The preference profile was measured by the 9-point hedonic scale, while the emotional response by EsSense25 combined with rating questionnaire and 5-point scale. This study involved 108 panelists. The finding showed that consumers liked gadung and orange garifta, while slighlty liked agri gardina and red garifta. Additionally, the EsSense25’s response showed that 4 out of 25 emotional terms were significantly different among the cultivars, namely happy, joyful, satisfied, and disgusted. However, fifteen attributes among the 25 emotion terms strongly correlated with liking, with the strongest terms on joyful, happy, satisfied, interested, secure, and free. These six emotions were associated with garifta orange, one of the newly released cultivars. The results suggested that garifta orange is potentially well-accepted and commercialized widely.

Red beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) and greens beans (Phaseolus raditus L.) proteins contain high amount of essential amino acids lysine and leucine. The study aimed to determine the optimum conditions for protein isolation process from red beans and green beans flour to produce the highest protein content. Additionally, an enzymatic hydrolysis was aimed to produce isolates or protein concentrates of red beans and green beans with good digestibility. The research method used was the Response Surface Methodology (RSM) Box-Behnken Design with Design Expert 10. The variables used in this process were extraction temperature (30-50°C), extraction pH (8.50-9.50), and time extraction (30-60 minutes). The results showed that the optimum conditions for the extraction of red beans protein were extraction pH of 8.60, temperature of 30°C, and time of 30.1 minutes, with the resulting protein content of 86.88±1.38% with and a validity value of 0.91. Meanwhile, the optimum conditions for the green beans protein extraction process were extraction pH of 8.83, extraction temperature of 30°C, extraction time of 30 minutes which yielded protein content of 88.27±1.08% and a validity value of 0.97. Enzymatic hydrolysis using of 3% (w/w) bromelain enzyme on red bean and mung bean protein concentrate powder was able to increase protein digestibility by 15.61 and 14.51%, respectively.
The Double Path of Expansive Learning in Complex Socio-Technical Change Processes
Authors: Hackel Monika , Klebl Michael
Published: February 2022

The purpose of this article is to describe how expansive learning in organisations can become a resource for learning in a wider community of practice (CoP). The “developmental work research” approach (DWR) based on cultural historical activity theory (CHAT) is beneficial for analysing and interpreting the requirements in a field of action. Engeström’s specific form of “action research” focuses on expansive learning in activity systems. However, complex socio-technical change processes cannot be initiated and managed by the local community of practise alone. In order to establish the use of new tools, new methodologies or organisational solutions in a field of work, a double path of expansive learning is needed: Findings from the participative analysis and interpretation of contradictions in the local activity system have to be transferred to wider communities of practice. This paper illustrates a double path of expansive learning by presenting the experiences of research and development in machine and plant engineering companies in Germany. In the AQUIMO project, a project team has developed an adaptable software tool for multidisciplinary mechatronical engineering and created a related qualification program. The support from external social researchers has helped to initiate, disseminate and establish new ways to organise the division of labour in teams of engineers.
Imagine the World you Want to Live in: A Study on Developmental Change in Doctor-Patient Interaction
Authors: Engeström Ritva
Published: February 2022

The article focuses on talk and cognition in terms of action. It outlines methodological alternatives for approaches addressing meaning construction and the accounts people give of their actions. There are studies, rooted especially in phenomenology and ethnomethodology, that manifest the idea of intersubjective reality seen as achievements of situated actions. In this framework, conversation and communication are seen per se as significant forms of social action. Instead of intersubjective reality, often brought about with an inductive research method, the article argues for instrumental reality as the context for understanding talk and cognition in terms of action. The aim is a method that studies multivoicedness of activity in terms of situated actions. The method integrates situational features in dialogue with the cultural-historical processes of meaning construction. It is based on the theoretical notion of activity as a system that emerges and changes in time and place through internal contradictions. In the context of instrumentality, dialogical processes are also considered historically emerging and internally conflicting processes of rationality. I discuss this method with data on conversations between a patient and a doctor at a primary health care consultation. The study considers medical knowledge less as a substance than as a historically produced perspective through which the rationality of problem solving is accomplished by doctor and patient. The study aims to break away from the epistemological dualism of conflicting domains of meaning: the one of medicine that is objective and the one of experience that is subjective. The context of instrumentality includes a working hypothesis of a zone of proximal development of the doctor-patient relationship.
Knowledge, responsibility, decision making and ignorance:
Authors: Huniche Lotte
Published: February 2022

This article is concerned with the question of how to argue about morality and ethics in relation to a severe and deadly hereditary disease. It is inspired by the uneasiness I have felt on a number of occasions when “right and wrong” is being discussed by persons at risk, professionals and in particular when discussed by outsiders. This task is not an easy one and the article tries to lay out more groundwork than it arrives at conclusions. Below follows a brief introduction to my framework and some of the concepts that are important for my way of outlining the arguments that follow. Then I take a closer look at genetic knowledge, responsibility and decision making, because these seem to be important issues in my field of study. I have added ignorance to the list in order to discuss a further aspect of dealing with hereditary disease. Interestingly, ignorance (understood both as being ignorant of and ignoring) seems to be commonly applicable to describing persons living at risk for Huntington’s Disease (HD). So what does everyday conduct of life look like from an “ignorance” perspective? And how can we discuss and argue about morality and ethics taking these seemingly diverse ways of living at risk into account? Posing this question, I hope to contribute to new reflections on possibilities and constraints in people’s lives with HD as well as in research and to open up new ways of discussing “right and wrong”.
The High Impact of Low Tech in Social Work
Authors: Jensen Torben Elgaard
Published: February 2022

Drawing on actor-network theory, this paper challenges the traditional analytical separation of the socalled social and the so-called technical. First, observational data of an interactional event between a social worker and a client is introduced. Second, the techno-social heterogeneity of the event is elucidated through an analysis based on the concept of translation. Third, the precarious and temporary natures of the techno-social hybrids are discussed through the concept of performance. Finally, the techno-social is proposed as a new object for social science.
Computers in Psychiatry
Authors: Lauritsen Peter Lauritsen , Elsass Peter
Published: February 2022

Within psychiatric research, the field of 'technotherapy' has been centred primarily on attempts to assess the computer as a treatment tool. The situation of daily clinical usage is, however, often ignored within such research, as for instance in controlled clinical trials. Our empirical study illustrates how health professionals and clients use different concepts of science and health in the attempts of formulating standards for using computers in psychiatric practice. The psychiatrists at a major psychiatric hospital decided and justified clients' use of computers on the basis of a 'techno-medical' quality assurance. At the same hospital the occupational therapists stressed the improvement of social relations as a treatment goal. And, at a psychiatric outside clinic the clients used concepts of 'normality' for articulating quality in computer use. Our study exemplifies how the use of computers is a multifaceted 'performance'. What is called for is a kind of research not limited by artificial borders of 'the context' and the 'user-perspective'. In much humanistic research as well as in action research concepts of 'context' and 'user-perspective' imply a somehow romantic view on practice as pure and uncontaminated by the outside world contrasted to a 'general' or an 'objective' way of knowing the world. These sharp distinctions were however difficult to maintain in our study, where health professionals and clients took local contingencies into account when they interpreted computer use, while they simultaneously drew on a socio-historical reservoir of resources.
Information Technology and Politics of Incorporation
Authors: Markussen Randi , Olesen Finn
Published: February 2022

Information technologies (IT) have become a politically important issue over the last ten years. Governmental reports promote the idea of a new information society, or network society, where ITs are a prerequisite for the economic and social development. The discourse and the rhetoric about technology and its relation to society are dominated by modern, rational and macrosocial understandings of technology. In this paper we challenge dominant rational discourses on technology and present alternative views to bring new perspectives to the subject in order to complicate and enrich our understanding of technology and how it relates to society. Our aim is to develop a theoretical framework that can account for a dynamic and microsocial approach to studying the implementation of an Electronic Patient Record (EPR) at a Danish hospital. The key notions in the framework are 'trading zone', 'cooperation' and 'technological translations'.
Estranged Labor Learning
Authors: Lave Jean , McDermott Ray
Published: February 2022

This article is in praise of the labor of reading profound and rich texts, in this case the essay on 'estranged labor' by Karl Marx. Comparing in detail what Marx wrote on estranged labor with current social practices of learning and education leads us to comprehensive ideas about learning - including the  social practices of alienated learning. We then emphasize the importance of distribution in the institutionalized production of alienated learning. And we end this article with critical reflections on the importance of alienation for the relationship between teaching and learning in the social practice of scholars.
