The study highlights the increasing diversity of digital and postdigital art along with its rising or even defining influence on various phenomena and spheres of sociocultural reality. Based on ...ideological attitudes and value orientations, the media reality, through the ontologization of digital and postdigital art, becomes a social model of understanding reality and social life, while organizing communication, interpretation of meanings, and translation of ideas in a special way. In counterpoint to the scientific, technocratic paradigm, which in many respects dominates the digital and postdigital realm, the digital and postdigital space simultaneously becomes an arena for the revival of archaic consciousness. The essential and content foundations and aspects of the digital and postdigital manifest the categorical, conceptual, and essential ideas of art in general. They interact with the social, cultural, political, as well as geographical and topological, environments to the point of creating new cultural, social, symbolic, and material phenomena, hybrid and transformed forms. The essence of beauty is accessed through representations, mediated by symbolic, semantic, and essential agents. The study addresses specific aspects of digital art from the standpoint of materialistic approaches, postmodern concepts, network theories, and social constructivism. Particular attention is paid to the ontologization of art objects in the framework of object-oriented philosophy. Art objects acquire their ontological status from their own authenticity and gain their reality from the outside. Digital and postdigital art combines the immanent with the transcendent, which makes its objects possible or necessary, perceivable or real. Digital and postdigital art is marked by duality and ambivalence, which form a holistic unity in the aspects of object-subject relations and the social and non-human sections of reality.
Este ensaio teórico tem o objetivo de analisar os pressupostos ontológicos e epistemológicos da abordagem filosófica da prática de Theodore Schatzki e as implicações para estudar o acontecimento da ...estratégia na organização. A utilização da abordagem filosófica de Schatzki, para os estudos em estratégia baseados em prática, apresenta avanços em dois aspectos principais: i) reconhecimento das práticas constituídas formalmente na organização e as emergentes, que podem moldar os resultados estratégicos, e a rede de práticas que compõe este evento e ii) análise do estrategista como um corpo/mente que “carrega” e “realiza” práticas sociais e usa seu know-how e conhecimento de acordo com a prática que participa.
ONGs, foundations, the State, and others, which has had repercussions within the communities in various ways. Based on ethnographic research, this article deals with ontological conflicts between a ...high Andean community located in the province of Chimborazo, Ecuador, and a space intended for biological protection and conservation. Initial reflections on the contrast that exists between the Andean relational ontology of the inhabitants of the Ozogoche community and the western ontology exposed in the conservation policies of the Sangay National Park are exposed, and how these generate processes of hybridization, delegitimization, and resignification of the practices and knowledge of the community. El artículo es parte de una investigación etnográfica (a mayor escala) realizada entre el año 2017 y 2018 y está dividido en cuatro secciones.
An important basis for information support of educational activities is the effective presentation of knowledge and standardization of training tasks based on ontological models of learned subject ...areas. The competence approach to the organization of the educational process and the requirements for the training of specialists from the point view of enterprises and organizations, in which they will carry out their professional activities, requires the development of a comprehensive model of educational processes and objects that are participating in them, based on high-level abstractions. On the basis of the results obtained in this work, the methodology of informational support of educational activities was further developed on the basis of: organizing the educational process and standardization of education based on a categorical-ontological approach; construction and use of relevant on tologies and knowledge bases; automation of data processing by forming and executing queries to the content of ontological models. The use of the results of categorical-ontological modeling allowed to reconcile the interests of active agents of the organization-technical systems, the subjects of educational activity and the ability of students to acquire the necessary knowledge and skills.

This article is an attempt to interpret Yuk Hui’s ambitious and promising project of cosmotechnics and technodiversity as a kind of “critical synthesis” of the philosophies of technology of Martin ...Heidegger and Bernard Stiegler, arguably his most important interlocutors besides Gilbert Simondon, whose crucial influence will have to remain undiscussed here unfortunately. It argues that the cosmotechnics–technodiversity project – motivated foremost by the concern for the relentless destruction of planetary diversity in all its forms (biological, ecological, ethnic, psychological, sociological, cultural, etc.) engendered by a globalized “mono-technological” technosphere originating from Western technology – criticizes but also aims to do justice to both Heidegger’s ontological or onto-historical understanding of technology as a singular yet universalizing imperative or claim driving the development of concrete technologies Gestell or enframing, and Stiegler’s organological understanding of technology as an evolutionary process of technical exteriorization or exosomatization fundamentally conditioning any ontological and cosmological opening of anthropos, i.e., of what Heidegger called Dasein. Hui’s plural cosmotechnics critically acknowledges yet pluralizes both perspectives, thus teaching a pluri-ontological and pluri-cosmological conditioning of technology as well as a pluri-technological conditioning of the ontological and the cosmological. Using terms derived from Peter Sloterdijk’s interpretation of Heidegger’s “ontokinetics,” it is shown that it thus gives due to both a “vertical,” Heideggerian or “spiritual” dimension and a “horizontal,” Stieglerian or “materialist” dimension to the question concerning technology. This new and original, cosmotechnical perspective on these two fundamental views on the question concerning technology allows Hui to engage philosophy of technology in the overdue debate with contemporary anthropology’s so-called ontological turn, increasingly urgent in today’s age of the Anthropocene.

The purpose of the article is to further develop the processual approach in project management theorizing. The article introduces Gadamer’s (2004) play ontology as a novel perspective used to ...describe microactivities in a project environment. Play ontology refers to the back-and-forth movements of seemingly mundane microactivities as they unfold during a project. The findings of the study suggest that sensitivity to the microactivities allows considering dissonant or indecisive events as vital and constructive project elements. Play ontology offers new ways for conceptualizing a project as a process: as something that emerges through practical activities as a dynamic and complex phenomenon.
In this article, I examine the concept of a natural class and propose a definition of "ontological category" in terms of that concept. Let's say a class is "large" if its membership comprises a ...significant proportion of the things which are there. Let's say a class is "high" if it is not a proper subclass of any natural class. Then a natural class is a primary ontological category if and only if (a) there are large natural classes, and (b) it is a high class. (Secondary, tertiary, etc., ontological categories are defined by an extension of this definition). I defend the definition, consider various ways in which it might be modified, and apply it to the problem of constructing a taxonomy of ontologies.
