You Talking to Me? The TED digital infrastructure as a Recognition Device

Abstract

This article investigates the TED digital infrastructure for translating Science and Technology projects. Specifically, we seek to investigate the TED infrastructures generative mechanisms and their relation to valuation mechanisms and practices. The research adopts a critical research stance with a critical realist perspective. Our arguments follow the six principles for the conduct of critical research in information systems proposed by Myers and Klein (2011), in particular the principle of using core concepts from critical social theorists and the principle of revealing and challenging prevailing beliefs and social practices, thus potentially contributing to individual emancipation from digitally enabled valuation practices as well as to improvement of society by questioning the role of a digital public sphere in the selection of ideas and innovation paths worth spreading.

Critical race theory
Critical race theory (CRT) is an interdisciplinary academic field devoted to analysing how laws, social and political movements, and media shape, and are shaped by, social conceptions of race and ethnicity. CRT also considers racism to be systemic in various laws and rules, and not only based on individuals' prejudices. The word critical in the name is an academic reference to critical thinking, critical theory, and scholarly criticism, rather than criticizing or blaming individuals.
Translation
Translation is the communication of the meaning of a source-language text by means of an equivalent target-language text. The English language draws a terminological distinction (which does not exist in every language) between translating (a written text) and interpreting (oral or signed communication between users of different languages); under this distinction, translation can begin only after the appearance of writing within a language community.
Translation studies
Translation studies is an academic interdiscipline dealing with the systematic study of the theory, description and application of translation, interpreting, and localization. As an interdiscipline, translation studies borrows much from the various fields of study that support translation. These include comparative literature, computer science, history, linguistics, philology, philosophy, semiotics, and terminology. The term "translation studies" was coined by the Amsterdam-based American scholar James S.

Alejandro Rivera

We develop techniques to study the phase transition for planar Gaussian percolation models that are not (necessarily) positively correlated. These models lack the property of positive associations (also known as the 'FKG inequality'), and hence many classi ...
