Wissenstransfer und Wissenstransformation sind zentrale Herausforderungen in der Wissensgesellschaft. Die fortschreitende Fragmentierung von Wissensdomänen und die eingeschränkte Zugänglichkeit von Wissensressourcen sind nur zwei gegenläufige Tendenzen. Umso mehr rücken funktionale Aspekte von Wissenskonstruktion und Wissenskonstitution in den Blickpunkt. Dieser Band bündelt ausgewählte transdisziplinäre Perspektiven und Positionen des Themenfeldes.

La période actuelle de l'anthropocène se caractérise par un bouleversement des équilibres systémiques. Cette situation nouvelle analysée par l'IRI et Ars Industrialis fait apparaître des questions nouvelles qui concernent, notamment, les réseaux sociaux, l'architecture du web, la gouvernementalité algorithmique, la contribution comme question politique, technologique et économique. Ces analyses croisent celles élaborées pendant trois ans au sein du groupe PHILOPRAT concernant l'identité collective dans une société d'individus, le statut des émotions et des peurs, l'enjeu des normes, le posthumanisme et le transhumanisme, le Buen Vivir et la capacitation, les Biens communs et les Commons.

The 15th International ISKO Conference has been held in Porto (Portugal) under the topic Challenges and opportunities for KO in the digital age. ISKO has been organizing biennial international conferences since 1990, in order to promote a space for debate among Knowledge Organization (KO) scholars and practitioners all over the world. The topics under discussion in the 15th International ISKO Conference are intended to cover a wide range of issues that, in a very incisive way, constitute challenges, obstacles and questions in the field of KO, but also highlight ways and open innovative perspectives for this area in a world undergoing constant change, due to the digital revolution that unavoidably moulds our society. Accordingly, the three aggregating themes, chosen to fit the proposals for papers and posters to be submitted, are as follows: 1 – Foundations and methods for KO; 2 – Interoperability towards information access; 3 – Societal challenges in KO. In addition to these themes, the inaugural session includes a keynote speech by Prof. David Bawden of City University London, entitled Supporting truth and promoting understanding: knowledge organization and the curation of the infosphere.

Daten sind überall. Mit den jüngsten Digitalisierungsschüben durchdringen Daten(technologien) zunehmend jede Nische des Sozialen und entfalten auch in bislang nicht-quantifizierten oder informationstechnisch erschlossenen Bereichen eine transformative Qualität. Der Band fragt daher sowohl nach den Auswirkungen dieser Datafizierung auf die Gegenwartsgesellschaft als auch nach den sozialen und kulturellen Voraussetzungen der Produktion, Kommunikation und Nutzung von Daten bzw. digitalen Datentechnologien. Im Zentrum der Beiträge steht dementsprechend das Verhältnis von Datafizierung und gesellschaftlicher Entwicklung.

Hochfrequenzhandel, Google-Ranking, Filterbubble - nur drei aktuelle Beispiele der Wirkmacht von Algorithmen. Der Band versammelt Beiträge, die sich mit dem historischen Auftauchen und der mittlerweile allgegenwärtigen Verbreitung von Algorithmen in verschiedenen Bereichen des sozialen Lebens beschäftigen. Sie nehmen die Wechselbeziehungen algorithmischer und nicht-algorithmischer Akteure und deren Bedeutungen für unseren Alltag und unsere Sozialbeziehungen in den Blick und gehen den Mechanismen nach, mit denen Algorithmen - selbst Produkte eines spezifischen Weltzugangs - die Wirklichkeit rahmen, während sie zugleich die Art und Weise organisieren, wie Menschen über Gesellschaft denken. Die Beiträge beinhalten Fallstudien zu Sozialen Medien, Werbung und Bewertung, aber auch zu mobilen Sicherheitsinfrastrukturen wie z.B. Drohnen.

Creating Space in the Fifth Estate explores what is new and valued about the digital media environment. The deep and far-reaching changes that are being wrought by the digital revolution are as radical in their effect as the impact of the industrial revolution was in the nineteenth century. While the long-term significance of these changes is uncertain, the nature of the power of differing forms of media offers interesting possibilities for research, as does the potential for a new mainstream space that shares characteristics with older loci of power. This space is not, as this book suggests, merely a space for journalistic endeavors, as shown by contributions here examining a diverse range of communication practices and forms including blogs, journalism, social media, digital literary magazines, disruptive twitter campaigns, and online music production.The book asks a number of questions. What exactly is the fifth estate? What are the power structures that exist there? What is the relationship between the fourth and fifth estates? What do we lose and what do we gain in that transition? How does the fifth estate change various forms of communication? How does the fifth estate constitute new communities and social movements? What about traditional forms that are still finding their niche in the new world? What actions do we as communicators and communication scholars now need to engage with? Why is it important? Creating Space in the Fifth Estate is accessible to scholars and students in a range of academic disciplines, including communication and media studies, sociology, cultural studies, and the arts. It will also appeal to those who work in the media and communication industries.
