Lifeworld as a politically relevant notion

Generating Politically-Relevant Event Data

Automatically generated political event data is an important part of the social science data ecosystem. The approaches for generating this data, though, have remained largely the same for two decades. During this time, the field of computational linguistics has progressed tremendously. This paper presents an overview of political event data, including methods and ontologies, and a set of experi...

The notion of lifeworld applied to information systems research

Much IS research brings a priori theoretical constructs to its domain of study, and this can generate distorted outcomes. To avoid this danger, IS research should be 'lifeworld-oriented'. Characteristics of the lifeworld are drawn from philosophy and applied to examples of IS research. Surprisingly, both positivist and critical research can be both theorizing and lifeworld-oriented, though in d...

Evaluating Lifeworld as an emancipatory methodology

Disability research is conducted within a highly politicised ‘hotbed’ of competing paradigms and principles. New researchers, who want to work within the social model, are soon faced with complex and challenging methodological and philosophical dilemmas. The social model advocates research agendas that are focused on the emancipation and empowerment of disabled people but, in reality, these are...

Feasibility as a gradual notion

The notion of feasibility, applicable in various areas related to logic, is arguably of gradual nature—some tasks are more feasible than others. The possibility of modeling a gradual notion of feasibility in t-norm logics is brought forward and illustrated on the gradual notions of feasible number, feasible knowledge, feasible formula, and feasible computability.
