Mediation: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Mediation" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Mediation is a very old practice that has been reborn to meet the needs of the contemporary world. It is thus increasingly present in todays societies. This book presents the theoretical foundations of mediation, as well as the way in which teachers and researchers in Information and Communication Sciences (ICS) have taken up this concept. Whether it is communicational, informational, cultural, organizational or societal, mediation belongs to a field of research, instituted by ICS, which sees in it a process of overcoming conflict, restoring communication and deconstructing social connections. Mediation: A Concept for Information and Communication Sciences inaugurates this set through its contribution to a state of the art of the theory and concepts used by the ICS community. It is addressed to teachers, researchers and students, as well as information professionals wishing to think about their daily practice.

Preface

The set Concepts to Conceive 21st Century Society is a state of the art study of the latest theoretical developments by researchers in Information and Communication Sciences (ICS). The authors of the set have put forward an interplay of concepts employed in the ICS community. These concepts are also used in other disciplines related to the humanities and social sciences (history, sociology, economics, linguistics, psychology, etc.) and, in addition, often fitting in line with the concerns of science and technology researchers (ergonomics, AI, data analysis, etc.).

In this set, we aim to highlight the theoretical approaches used in ICS, which is often regarded as a cross-disciplinary field from a deliberately conceptual point of view. We thought that this was the right choice to supplement the different epistemological works that have already been carried out in the field.

To describe more in detail the perspective adopted in each of these works, we should point out that it represents the point of view of researchers in ICS with a didactic aim and an epistemological focus. We will start by considering ICS as an academic discipline that contributes to the creation and dissemination of knowledge related to information and communication.

Thus, our theoretical reflection will be based on the analysis of a series of concepts widely used by the ICS community, and we will aim to make it accessible to humanities and social sciences students, as well as useful for teachers and researchers in several fields, and for professionals who wish to consider their practices. This interplay of concepts allows us to conceive 21st-Century society in its social and technological aspects. It also helps shed light on human and technological relations and interactions.

So far, this set of books is expected to include a dozen works, each of which presents one of the following concepts, which are widely used in ICS: power, discourse, mediation, dispositive [dispositif], memory and transmission, belief, knowledge, exchange, public/private, representation, writing and aesthetics.

Each work in this set shares the same structure. A first part, called Epistemological Foundations, summarizes and allows us to compare the theories that over time have made it possible to review the concept in question.

A second part, called Mobilizing the Concept of Mediation in Information and Communication Sciences, presents recent problems in ICS which involve the concept, with the aim of establishing the topic researched or analyzing it. This organization of the content allows us to get rid of the restrictive meanings that concepts may take on in the public or professional sphere, or even in various disciplines.

The first four works examine, in turn, the concepts of power, discourse, mediation and the dispositive. Therefore, we can find in these first texts two concepts with a substantial historical dimension, i.e. power and discourse, and two other concepts that have emerged in recent history, i.e. mediation and the dispositive.

These works result from a collective reflection. Regular meetings among the different authors have made it possible to write the four texts collaboratively, even if each author takes responsibility for the work he or she has signed. The content of these works also constitutes the foundations of a course in ICS epistemology that has been offered in several types of education for the past 10 years or so. Thus, it has been tested before an audience of students of different levels.

Some authors have already been asked to write about the other concepts. The series coordinators will ensure that these authors follow the logic of the set and the structure of the first four works.

In French, the two fields Communication science and Information science belong to the same academic discipline, namely Sciences de linformation et de la communication (SIC).
Introduction

To respect the logic of the series Concepts to Conceive 21st Century Society, this work is divided into two separate parts. The first is dedicated to the epistemological foundations of mediation. It clarifies the concept of mediation, independently of the disciplines in which the concept is used, by comparing the theories that over time have made it possible to establish and then reassess it. The second part is based on the present-day issues in Information and Communication Sciences (ICS) that involve the concept of mediation, with the aim of establishing the topics to be researched and analyzing them.

As a concept employed in different fields, mediation is a very old practice that is re-emerging today to meet the needs of the modern world, and whose conceptualization, which is overall recent, is taking root. Mediation is a practice that involves two parties, who are sometimes very different, and a third party who helps them come to an agreement. The relation between them may be conflictual or not, and the third partys power depends only on the authority granted by these two parties.

In the first part of this work, following the analysis of the concept of mediation per se, its origins, mediation in its professional dimensions and the relations of mediation and peace, the presentation of the epistemological foundations of mediation is organized into three chapters:

  • we approach the specific criteria that make mediation coherent, independently of the sectors in which it will be implemented. Several elements come into play, among which is a third party involved in a mediating relationship between subjects;
