Descrizione del progetto
I megadati per chiarire il rapporto tra concetti fisici e comportamenti sociali
Forze, resistenza al cambiamento, equilibrio e medie o mezzi sono concetti relativi a sistemi e processi fisici che si applicano in modo egualmente efficace ai comportamenti sociali e alla governance democratica. Questo paradigma di «fisica sociale» basato sui megadati disponibili negli ultimi decenni relativi ai comportamenti delle folle non è stato valutato in modo approfondito, né sono stati analizzati i potenziali legami esistenti tra fisica e sistemi sociopolitici. Con il sostegno del programma di azioni Marie Skłodowska-Curie, il progetto SOPHY combinerà elementi di Begriffsgeschichte, analisi foucaultiana del discorso, epistemologia storica e storia sociale per fornire nuovi spunti e aumentare la consapevolezza dei modelli sempre più basati sui dati nella società.
Obiettivo
"""Philosophy of Social Physics"" (SOPHY) intends to explore the impact of physics on the genesis of the social sciences and to define the current use of “Social Physics” in the scientific discourse on big data related to crowd behaviors. The general hypothesis is that physical narratives and notions such as force, resistance, balance, and average have played a crucial role in shaping the concepts we use to think of society since the rise of the Sociological thought in the 19th century, and that in reconstructing the genealogy of the social sciences, the reference to natural sciences cannot be limited to the biological framework.
The goal is to provide new insights into the conceptual paradigms that have been underpinning democratic governance in modern and contemporary societies, thus raising awareness about the rationale of increasingly data-based patterns in social policies. The ""Social Physics"" paradigm has not yet been analysed in depth through a political-philosophical perspective capable of showing the internal logic and history of the concepts employed. Additionally, an analysis of the links between physics-related notions and political and social concepts in the 19th century is still to be outlined. Moreover, there is still no historical, conceptual, and philosophical-political study focusing on the origins of social physics as it is understood and structured today.
SOPHY will use a methodology resulting from an original combination of the tradition of Begriffsgeschichte, Foucauldian discourse analysis, Historical Epistemology and History of social concepts. This methodology will allow to analyse the historical semantics of concepts emphasizing their contingency and their cultural and social constructed nature, while defining at the same time the epistemic structure in which they are produced and used."
