First, what is and how could it help us. In contrast to phenomenology that studies what phenomena are, phenomenography is concerned "only" with how these are perceived. We build on the idea that scientific inquiry could also be seen as learning at the collective level. This is especially true for interdisciplinary research conducted by a team of researchers (hello digital humanities). A theory that emerged from phenomenographic research is what is called variation theory, i.e. one needs to experience variation to comprehend a phenomenon. And there is a very specific way to achieve this: by using patterns of contrast, generalisation and fusion

In the morning session today Sara Sullam and I will be presenting our work on exploring nominal (in our case study - bibliographical) data. We do it by borrowing a method from educational research - the notion of phenomenographic variation. 🧵

A morning fresh take on yesterday's keynote by @robysinatra for aspiring young scientists: "It will happen eventually, just breathe" Comes with this song: youtu.be/jaXfuM65Vg4

"Many historians likewise have embraced digital literacy as one of the most essential skills we can teach students, but if educators bury our heads in the sand and attempt to ban AI from the classroom, crucial learning opportunities are lost. "

Please do check out our poster on explicit references of values in folk tales where we compare the values (Schwartz) in 3 corpora from three European countries. We evidence how between Germany, Portugal and Italy there are common traditions (emphasis on the values of Universalism, Tradition,...), but also cultural peculiarities, e.g. different ways to convey such values

Let me share the takeaway from Richard McElreath's keynote (at least for me)

Just found out there's the tag here. For a second day I miss the morning sessions, but what I managed to catch has been really inspiring, lots of food for thought. If you didn't know about it, check out 2023.computational-humanities-

Extremely happy to announce that @kissane and I have been funded by @DigInfFund to run a project called Fediverse Governance Successes & Gaps!

We will look at the people, software, and processes of the Fediverse, and make strong recommendations for how open source projects, philanthropic funders, civil society organizations, and others can co-create a Fediverse that is safer and better for humanity than the social media we've been stuck with for decades.

Умерла сестра Фиделя и Рауля Кастро Хуанита. Она 60 лет прожила в США и сотрудничала с ЦРУ, пытаясь изменить режим на Кубе 

Хуанита Кастро умерла в возрасте 90 лет в Майами, пишет «Голос Америки».

«Исключительная женщина и неутомимый борец за дело Кубы, которую она так любила», — написала соавтор биографии Кастро Мария Антониета Коллинз в инстаграме.

Хуанита Кастро, первоначально поддерживающая борьбу братьев и идею революции на Кубе, в середине 1960-х годов покинула остров и обосновалась в США. Кастро переехала в Майами, купила аптеку и проработала в ней до 2007 года.

Google's war on ad-blockers continues! Google will slow down the update process for third-party extensions by requiring them to be reviewed by the Chrome Web Store. 🚫

This means YouTube can counter ad-blockers while slowing their release of workarounds. 🤢

This David and Goliath situation looks to be even more unbalanced than previously thought.

#AlGore has had enough of #COP28: "This industry is way more effective at capturing politicians than they are at capturing emissions," Gore told Reuters on the sidelines of the COP28 summit in Dubai. "And they have captured the COP process itself now and overreached, abusing the public's trust by naming the CEO of one of the largest and least responsible oil companies in the world as head of the COP." commondreams.org/news/al-gore-

Indigenous philosophy is so enriching!

Studying my own Quechua and Aymara philosophies along with Mexica-Aztec, Lakotah, Haudenosaunee, Mapuche, Mayan, Anishinaabe, Kolla, reindigenized Mestizo, Misak, Taíno philosophies makes me realize we had a cornecopia of cultural richness and intelligence.

But, all of them have 2 things in common, a care for the land and struggle for liberation. Only the terminology and ceremonies are different! 🌎

Incan-Andean and Aztec philosophers alike believe in balance between extremes. In Quechua it is called yanantin. In Nahuatl, it's ometecuhtli-omecihuatl. And, both teach that ethics creates philosophy, not the reverse. Andean philosopher Hugo Chacón writes

“Being is explained as associative renewal, one works their individuality and independence from the profundity of human associations… Andean being is unintelligible without gatherings”.
