Activity theory for understanding and managing system innovations

This study aims to show how activity theory in the socio-technical systems paradigm can assist in understanding and managing system innovation. We conceptualize socio-technical systems to address societal needs as activity systems and system innovations as transformations of such systems. Transformations result from resolving contradictions that develop due to technical and social change within and between the activities carried out by various agencies to fulfill societal needs. Along this line, the explanation of system innovations focuses on identifying emerging contradictions, resolution initiatives, and their outcomes, whereas the governance of system innovations can be carried out by interactively developing policies through successive interventions to resolve contradictions. We demonstrate the employment of activity theory to understand the transformation of the recorded music socio-technical system towards streaming, as well as to facilitate the management of the transition of the olive oil-producing sector at the regional level towards a circular economy through the adoption of innovative waste-processing technology.

辩证法在伽达默尔解释学中的运用

伽达默尔在吸取传统的辩证法,尤其是黑格尔的辩证法基础上对辩证法进行改造,使得辩证法在解释学中获得新的生机。伽迭默尔通过对“效果历史意识”的具体分析,把理解看作一个辩证发展的过程,使其解释学辩证法得以充分的体现。     

庞德权利理论的内在矛盾研究

权利理论经历了古希腊古罗马的正义理念时代,中世纪的神学正义观念,到现代的平等理念,可以说发展历经曲折,却生机勃勃.庞德的权利理论是在耶林的利益法学思想中创新发展而成的.从庞德权利理论的源头出发进而发掘其主要内容和实质之后,我们将发现其中潜藏着的内在矛盾,若试图对这种内在矛盾进行有效合理的化解,我们不得不运用“放任的态度”.     

论先秦法家与名家的关系

名家是先秦法家一个重要的学术渊源,其名实论、名法论直接影响了法家"循名责实"、"形名参同"治国学说的形成。这一点从《申子》《商君书》《管子》《韩非子》等法家著作中都可以得到明证。

Dialectic dialogue: reflections on adopting a dialectic stance

ABSTRACT

A multiplicity of perspectives and methods are necessary to investigate the complexities of human development and educational institutions. However, many would-be MM researchers still have questions about how to conceptualize and conduct MM research. Taking a dialectic stance, or mixing research approaches to suit the demands of a research problem, is one way to integrate multiple perspectives from conception to conclusions in a MM research study. In this spirit, we engage in a meta-dialogue focused on our use of the dialectic stance in our dissertations. Using an autoethnographic approach we now call ‘dialectic dialogue’, we analytically and reflectively reexamine our respective research processes to investigate, individually and collaboratively, how taking a dialectic stance influenced the paradigms, methodologies, and methods of our MM dissertations. Three verbal and artistic metaphors for our experience emerged from our discussion: feeling boxed in, getting lucky, and radical commitment. Each metaphor is discussed from our individual and shared perspectives. Our goal is to open our dialogue to a field-wide conversation about the dialectic stance; thus, we conclude with questions for the MM field to consider. This article will be of particular interest to newcomers to the field of MM and their mentors.
