“... Our models should ultimately be able to learn abstractions that are not specific to the structure of any language but that can generalise to languages with different properties. ...”
“of any language” ... ex nihil? Seulement avec un assez grand corpus bien structuré, cvd déjà analysé selon l’architecture grammaticale; sinon, bien naïf, je dirais, avec pas mal des réductionnismes inconsiderés, pas trop rare dans la vision du monde #linguistique d’un Anglo-saxon.

The normalization of deviance
Social normalization of deviance means that people within the organization become so much accustomed to a deviation that they don’t consider it as deviant, despite the fact that they far exceed their own rules for the elementary safety
—Diane Vaughan, 1996
The normalization of deviance in healthcare delivery, by John Banja
▻https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2821100In other words, mistakes such as failing to check or record a lab finding, ordering the wrong drug, or entering a lab finding in the wrong patient’s chart are usually not enough to guarantee an occurrence of harm. The recipe for disaster additionally requires these errors, lapses, or mistakes to go unattended, unappreciated, or unresolved for an extended period of time.

Very interesting article on a little know aspect of the Internet gouvernance, far from the discussions between politicians at official meetings: informal cooperation between networkers and how it works (or fails).

Essays in Honor of Nancy Fraser

Feminism, Capitalism, and Critique
Essays in Honor of Nancy Fraser Ed. by Banu Bargu & Chiara Bottici (Palgrave Macmillan, 2017) 332 pages
▻http://www.palgrave.com/gp/book/9783319523859#otherversion=9783319523866Description
This edited collection examines the relationship between three central terms — capitalism, feminism, and critique — while critically celebrating the work and life of a thinker who has done the most to address this nexus: Nancy Fraser. In honor of her seventieth birthday, and in the spirit of her work in the tradition of critical theory, this collection brings together scholars from different disciplines and theoretical approaches to address this conjunction and evaluate Fraser’s lifelong contributions to theorizing it. Scholars from #philosophy, #political_science, #sociology, #gender_studies, #race_theory and #economics come together to think through the vicissitudes of capitalism and feminism while also responding to different elements of Nancy Fraser’s work, which weaves together a strong feminist standpoint with a vibrant and complex critique of capitalism.

Facing the myth of Redemptive Violence:
▻http://www.ekklesia.co.uk/content/cpt/article_060823wink.shtml #violence #psychology #sociology #religion“We have already seen how the myth of redemptive violence is played out in the structure of children’s cartoon shows (and is found as well in comics, video and computer games, and movies). But we also encounter it in the media, in sports, in nationalism, in militarism, in foreign policy, in televangelism, in the religious right, and in self-styled militia groups. What appears so innocuous in cartoons is, in fact, the mythic underpinnings of our violent society. The psychodynamics of the TV cartoon or comic book are marvelously simple: children identify with the good guy so that they can think of themselves as good.
[..] When the good guy finally wins, viewers are then able to reassert control over their own inner tendencies, repress them, and re-establish a sense of goodness without coming to any insight about their own inner evil. The villain’s punishment provides catharsis; one forswears the villain’s ways and heaps condemnation on him in a guilt-free orgy of aggression. Salvation is found through identification with the hero”
[..]
Once children have been indoctrinated into the expectations of a dominator society, they may never outgrow the need to locate all evil outside themselves. Even as adults they tend to scapegoat others for all that is wrong in the world. They continue to depend on group identification and the upholding of social norms for a sense of well-being.
[..]
No other religious system has even remotely rivalled the myth of redemptive violence in its ability to catechise its young so totally. From the earliest age, children are awash in depictions of violence as the ultimate solution to human conflicts"
