This essay reads fictional and non-fictional accounts of digital stalking as signals larger changes in intersubjectivity itself caused by Google. Most social media platforms trap users imaginary relations, which the other is encountered a complete profile, but Google allows searcher to locate an absence form missing search result. As will be shown analysis two contemporary novels whose first-pe...

We analyze profiles and associated comments on social network sites following the death of the user to suggest two novel approaches to death and computing. Using the dead as examples of “extreme users”, we develop recommendations for design of Web2.0 applications that consider the importance of intersubjectivity in online identity construction and management, and the ubiquity of technospiritual...

This paper proposes a new methodology in investigating the semantic and pragmatic properties of SFPs in Mandarin Chinese. A case study of the interaction and correlation between SFP-Ne and SpOAs--Shenzhi, Qishi, and Nanguai has been conducted. Two semantic features of [+unexpectedness] and [+intersubjectivity] have been summarized on SFP-Ne.

We consider interactive epistemic models where individuals are described by both their “knowledge” and their “beliefs”. Three intersubjective consistency conditions are examined: Intersubjective Caution (if an individual believes something to be common belief then he knows it to be common belief), Truth of Common Belief (only true facts are commonly believed) and Qualitative Agreement. These co...

When people interact, affective information is transmitted between their brains. Modern imaging techniques permit to investigate the dynamics of this brain-to-brain transfer of information. Here, we used information-based functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to investigate the flow of affective information between the brains of senders and perceivers engaged in ongoing facial communicat...

The chapter argues that language, which rests on the sharing of linguistic norms, honest information, and moral norms, evolved through a co-evolutionary process with a pivotal role for intersubjectivity. Mainstream evolutionary models, based only on individual-level and gene-level selection, are argued to be incapable to account for such sharing of care, values and information, thus implying th...

Waste has often been a target of literature and policy promoting pro-environmental behaviour. However, little attention has been paid to how subjects interpret and construct waste in their daily lives. In this article we develop a synthesis of practice theory and psychosocial concepts of attachment and transitional space to explore how biographically patterned relationships and attachments to p...

Martin Buber denied consistently that he was a theologian because he repudiated abstract discourse about God. However, he did affirm that intersubjective events in the world express theological truth, even if that truth cannot be possessed or professed thereafter as noetic content. In this paper I introduce a concept of “embodied theology” to elucidate this nuance in Buber’s religious thought, ...

Speech quality and likability is a multi-faceted phenomenon consisting of a combination of perceptory features that cannot easily be computed nor weighed automatically. Yet, it is often easy to decide which of two voices one likes better, even though it would be hard to describe why, or to name the underlying basic perceptory features. Although likability is inherently subjective and individual...
