AbstractThe purpose of this article is to contextualize Bruno Leoni’s political theory within the Digital Information Society, a new dimension of public participation in the political arena and a sign of the democratic transition through new forms of involvement by public opinion. In particular, the evolution of the Information Society will be briefly examined starting from the studies of Fritz Machlup, considered its progenitor, to pass to the examination of the Leonian concept of law and politics in the technological society, with reference to Norbert Wiener and Karl Deutsch’s cybernetic theory. This paper will attempt to describe the evolutive process of political participation in democratic society by reinterpreting the thought of Bruno Leoni concerning Democracy, the State and the homo telematicus in the digital social order.

Background In the early 1940s, two men from different disciplinary contexts converged on three concerns: information, its dynamics, and the pathologies stemming from those dynamics. Norbert Wiener studied these concerns from the context of mechanical and biological systems. Harold Innis viewed them from the perspective of political, social, and cultural systems.Analysis  The purpose of this study is to establish this commonality, and consider its implications for two histories, those of the Cybernetic and Toronto Schools of Communication.Conclusion and implications  For the Cybernetic School, the similarity suggests that the intellectual roots behind it are more extensive than scholars have appreciated.  For the Toronto School, this study suggests that the concepts of information, increasing returns, and the flux of communication are neglected constituents of Innis’ thoughtRÉSUMÉ Contexte  Au début des années 40, deux hommes de disciplines différentes ont convergé sur trois questions : l’information, les dynamiques de celle-ci, et les pathologies résultant de ces dynamiques. Norbert Wiener étudia ces questions en privilégiant les systèmes mécaniques et biologiques. Harold Innis quant à lui les étudia en privilégiant les systèmes politiques, sociaux et culturels.Analyse  Cette étude a pour but de souligner la convergence entre ces deux auteurs et de considérer les implications de celle-ci pour deux histoires, celle de l’école de communication de Toronto et celle de la cybernétique.Conclusion et implications  Pour l’école de la cybernétique, cette convergence semble indiquer que les fondements intellectuels de cette école de pensée sont plus vastes qu’on l’a cru jusqu’à présent. Pour l’école de Toronto, cette étude suggère que des concepts comme l’information, les rendements croissants et le flux de la communication sont des composantes de la pensée d’Innis qui ont été négligées jusqu’à présent.

A presença, cada vez maior, de estudos centrados na materialidade da comunicação trouxe para o campo da comunicação dois tipos de abordagem muito particulares. Neste trabalho, vamos nos concentrar na especificidade das novas mídias e no reaparecimento de modelos baseados na teoria da informação de Claude E. Shannon e da cibernética de Norbert Wiener. A convergência entre media technologies e digital computing, indicada por Manovich, trouxe para o campo da comunicação um conjunto de novos problemas de pesquisa ou a reorientação de problemas clássicos que seremos obrigados a enfrentar reflexivamente.

Social Project

A computer project in the world and in Russia is now usually viewed as an economic, technological or military one. At the same time, it is a global social project. From the theory of the humanitarian and technological revolution, it follows that at the current point of bifurcation, its results can determine the path of humanity to the future. I show that the results of this project reflect the readiness of civilizations for socio-technological change. The COVID-19 pandemic turned out to be a test for social imperatives and had a huge impact on computer reality in the formation of a new sociality. Book by K. Schwab, T. Mallerert “COVID-19: The great reset” represents a variant of such sociality. The analysis presented in this work shows the unacceptability of the proposed changes for the world of Russia. A study of large-scale computer projects in Russia and Belarus shows the need to bring them to a new sociocultural level, much higher than the current one. The unsuccessful experience of mass e-education in the Union State confirmed the imperative of Norbert Wiener: “Render unto man the things which are man’s and unto the computer the things which are the computer’s”. This should, apparently, be a reasonable line of behavior in organizing joint actions of people and machines.

Consumo de Emerita analoga “muy muy” y su infección por larvas Profilicollis altmani en las playas del sur de lima - 2010. Emerita analoga consumption “muy muy” and infection altmani Profilicollis larvae in the southern beaches of lima - 2010. Victor Jorge Rojas Meza; Yubí Maribel Sebastián Cabrera Q.F.Egresado, Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener. [email protected] Q.F.Egresado, Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener. [email protected] DOI: https://doi.org/10.33017/RevECIPeru2011.0039/ RESUMEN El presente estudio determina la incidencia de infección por Profilicollis altmani en 2,300 especímenes de Emerita analoga o “muy muy”, y su consumo por las personas que viven en lugares aledaños a playas del sur del departamento de Lima, desde la Costa Verde hasta la provincia de Cañete, durante los meses de octubre a diciembre del 2010, de los crustáceos recolectados 1,792 (77,91%) estaban infectados, para observar las larvas de Profilicollis altmani se procedió a la disección extrayendo el caparazón de los “muy muy” y dejando expuesto la cavidad hemocelomática, se encontró 3,979 larvas de acantocéfalos en estado de cistacantos como Profilicollis altmani con una abundancia media total de 1,73 (1-22). De las 500 personas encuestadas, el 25,8% consume “muy muy” en su alimentación, de este el 3,04% en forma de “cebiche”, 12,4% en forma de tortilla y 10% consume en otras formas. Podemos concluir que los “muy muy” de las playas del sur de Lima están altamente infectadas con Profilicollis altmani lo cual constituye un problema de salud Pública. Palabras claves: Profilicollis altmani, Emerita analoga, “muy muy”, cistacantos, Acantocéfalo, Larus Belcheri. SUMMARY This study determines the incidence of infection with Profilicollis altmani in 2,300 specimens of Emerita analoga or “muy muy", and its consumption by people living in near the South beaches of Peru, from the Costa Verde until the province of Cañete, during the months of october through december 2010.Collected crustaceans, 1,792 (77,91%) were infected. To see the larvae of Profilicollis altmani they proceeded to dissect by extracting the shell of the "muy muy" leaving exposed the hemocelomatica cavity founding 3,979, with an abundance average total of 1, 73 (1-22) with larvae of acanthocephala in cistacantos State such as Profilicollis altmani. From the 500 people surveyed, the 25, 8% consumed "muy muy" in their food. 25, 8% that consumed "muy muy", 3,04% consumed in “Ceviche”, 12,4% in omelets and 10% consumed in other forms. So, we can conclude that the "muy muy" from the South beaches in Lima are highly infected with Profilicollis altmani, which may be a health Public problem. Keywords: Profilicollis altmani, Emerita analoga, "muy muy" cistacantos, Acanthocephala, Larus belcheri.
