[governance] ISA new Thematic Group - Hypercitizenship

Tue Oct 30 10:05:52 EDT 2012

Dear Internet Governance friends,

I'm helpingspread the word on the proposed creation of a new thematic group
at the International Sociological Assocation called "Hypercitizenship". For
all the sociologists in the list, this might be of interest. See bellow.
Best regards,
Ivar

>
> The Hypercitizenship concept is focused on the fact that communication
> about key challenges of our times is increasingly meaning communication and
> public understanding of science and technology for governance and
> policymaking on a global, glocal and cosmopolitan scale. Therefore, the
> idea of the group moves from the intent to investigate into autonomous
> agents and global flows eventually converging by means of autopoietic
> systems.
>
> New hypotheses around possible bio-economic scenarios imply the need to
> cope with multiple inputs involving diverse domains in which the idea of a
> turbo capitalism inevitably impact on biology, medicine, engineering and
> social science.
>
> The Hypercitizenship TG aims at conceiving, planning, organizing,
> evaluating and promoting basic and applied scientific research, both on a
> theoretical and on a practical level.
>
> Even though similar groups may be found within the ISA fields of research,
> such as the following: WG01 Sociology on Local-Global Relations, RC 12
> Sociology of Law, RC 51 Sociocybernetics, further and innovative elements
> can be traced, for the Hypercitizenship TG will provide a thorough forum
> for debating issues belonging to diverse research domains concerning the
> fundamental evolutionary challenges that human society is currently facing
> in the energetic, ecologic and biotechnological fields by applying a
> creative and innovative pluralism at every research stage.
>
> Indeed, as we approach the challenges of global society, the issue of a
> Hypercitizenship global trend suddenly impacts on our perception of what
> Systemic science could mean in terms of human (or even hyperhuman) and
> social evolution. The image of post human horizons is envisaged, also
> suggesting the resort to human artificial prostheses.
>
> Thus, the “avangarde” of such evolutionary society is made up by the new
> emerging knowledge-based elites, also defined as the Elites of the future
> and wide horizon leaders.
>
> New associations of concepts emerge, evoking similarities in terms of
> convention and invention of lean thinking and flows or Variety and
> Strategy, in order to define an innovative and de-structured way to think
> about the creation of a performing hyperhuman society.
>
> The group will welcome the contribution of scholars and young researchers
> coming from different backgrounds but whose research interests may find a
> strategic convergence towards a systemic approach to both technological and
> human sciences topics
>
> *THE PROCEDURE TO FOUND AN ISA THEMATIC GROUP***
>
>
> ISA Research Coordinating Committee (RCC) reviews applications for
> establishing new groups at its annual meetings. In your application for a
> Thematic Group status, please include:
>
> - a list of signatories of 10 ISA members in good standing (i.e. who have
> paid individual membership dues) with geographical diversity as determined
> by the Executive Committee: members from at least 10 countries in 2
> continents or 7 countries in 3 continents.
>
> - a report on the recent and planned activities of the group;
>
> - a statement on how a proposed TG is different from the already existing
> Research Committees and/or Working/Thematic Groups of the ISA.
>
> If your application to establish a Thematic Group is submitted before
> January 15, 2013 it will be discussed at the RCC meeting in March 2013.
