The Imaginary Significations Of The IT Markets
نویسنده
چکیده
Drawing upon Castoriadis’ (1987) notion of imaginary significations, this paper aims to advance the analysis of technology acquisition by exploring the ideological role of technology choice and consumption. The illustration of the theoretical background of this paper results in the formulation of two main research interests. First, the ways in which technological imaginaries form ideologies and how these ideologies influence institutional identities, narratives and actions associated with the evaluation of technology choice and consumption. Second, how such ideologies influenced by various sociopolitical, economical and technical conditions affect and constitute the technology selection process by providing a stabilized form of accountability.

In this study, an extended version of the wave propagation approach using first-order shear deformation theory of shell motion is employed to examine the free vibration of damped ...
متن کاملSornette-Ide model for markets: Trader expectations as imaginary part
Numerous microscopic models [1] for price fluctuations on stock or currency markets have been invented within the last decade [2, 3] in the physics literature. An alternative are more phenomenological differential equations for the price itself [4, 5, 6, 7, 8], with some noise as in Langevin equations. The present note follows Sornette and Ide [5] but uses a complex instead of a real variable. ...
