“…Empati fremstår slik som et produkt av flere tilnaerminger, med respektive eksistensgrunnlag. En mulig fremgangsmåte for å integrere de fenomenologiske og naturvitenskapelige tilnaermingene er å skape et nomologisk nettverk (Saad, 2017(Saad, , 2020. Nettverket gir en oversikt over empatimarkørene i den erfarte virkeligheten.…”

“…Nettverket gir en oversikt over empatimarkørene i den erfarte virkeligheten. Samtidig bidrar en slik tilnaerming til teoretisk begrepsvalidering (Cronbach & Meehl, 1955) som kan danne grunnlag for en «global» database av tilnaerminger til fenomenet empati (se Saad, 2020). En fremstilling av disse tilnaermingene i et nomologisk nettverk har til hensikt å illustrere den brede forståelsen av begrepet empati.…”

Understanding of the concept of empathy is often subject to change. The manifold conceptualisations, as well as the terminological ambiguities regarding the concept, are observed by studying interdisciplinary, overlapping and even contrasting perspectives of the phenomena across public discourse and academic literature. In this article we do not attempt to reduce the concept of empathy to a single entity, but rather strive to illuminate the many approaches to it. We identify a categorisation of the literature on empathy into two overarching approaches and propose two prototypical epistemological positions that might describe the definitional variations in understanding and applying it, namely a phenomenological or a positivist model underlying understandings of the concept. These two categories encompass wide subsets of traditions and perspectives which we summarise in a nomological network. Such a framing enables us to document the basis for the concept of empathy within a diversity of disciplinary traditions. Keywords: empathy, phenomenology, positivism, nomological network

“…This corresponds to the relatively recent interest on how subjectivity, including our ability to tell and process stories, is fashioning our economic and consumption behaviours in the era of digital communication (Shiller, 2019). It is also linked to the research agenda of evolutionary psychology applied to explaining learning, motivation, decision-making perceptions, attitudes and emotions in the marketplace from a Darwinian point of view (Saad, 2007(Saad, , 2020.…”

Background To counter the effects of radicalization, we should first understand the persuasion mechanisms used by fundamentalist organizations to reach and engage with potential candidates to religious radicalization, particularly in Western societies. Focus of the Article The paper analyzes ISIS and Al-Qeada (AQ) propaganda as grotesque transparency strategy, with particular attention to the so-called “Islamic State.” Research Questions The main research question guiding this case study is: how the “grotesque transparency” strategy is articulated in the context of radicalization propaganda by Islamist terrorist organizations? The secondary research question is: how the understanding of the “grotesque transparency” strategy could inform social marketing and policy initiatives to counter the effects of such propaganda? Importance to the Social Marketing Field The novelty of grotesque transparency in the context of digital networks lies in the ease with which potentially everyone can be a propagandist, transforming the strategic prescriptions of the organized terrorist into an individual “creative” tactic or action. In this context of media fragmentation, the notion of social marketing as mainly a strategic endeavor to favor general change of attitudes and behaviors may be reconsidered as a more dialogic and individualized interaction to understand the expectations, needs and ideas of the “tribal groups.” Methods By applying the “aquarium metaphor”, the author describes the narrative of such radical groups, including the visual elements that are key in the case of grotesque transparency in the digital media ecosystem. Results The visually grotesque gives meaning to events in a world of excess, fragmentation, and disenchantment. The language of the ocular reduces ambiguity, privileges the concrete, and facilitates moral judgments. It has become a way of “knowing” based on emotion. Recommendations for Practice Social marketing experts and officers might reconsider the very notion of strategy when trying to counter the effects of grotesque transparency radical propaganda among certain groups of the population, moving beyond the more traditional approach of control-command to a more open and interactive process to engage in a dialogue and connect with individuals, their families and peers through strategizing. Limitations The analysis presented here of the Islamist terrorist propaganda is based on a literature review and some empirical research. The question of reception and tactical appropriation by some groups remains an important area to be explored in future research.

“…Esto corresponde al interés relativamente reciente en estudiar sobre cómo la subjetividad, incluida nuestra capacidad para relatar y procesar historias, está configurando nuestros comportamientos económicos y de consumo en la era de la comunicación digital (Shiller, 2019). También está vinculado a la agenda de investigación de la psicología evolutiva aplicada a explicar el aprendizaje, la motivación, la toma de decisiones, las percepciones, las actitudes y las emociones en el mercado desde un punto de vista neodarwiniano (Saad, 2007(Saad, , 2020.…”

La estética de Maimónides: una ética de la imagen personal

un corto tratado del Talmud, que se pregunta sobre cuál debe ser la senda correcta que la persona debe recorrer, y que, según la traducción que se haga del texto original en hebreo, está relacionada con su autoimagen y la imagen que proyecta hacia los demás. Desde una hermenéutica de la "estética de la espiritualidad", se analizan aquí las implicaciones de un hedonismo utilitario para fundamentar una ética de la comunicación en el ecosistema de medios digitales actual, dominado por la proyección de la imagen personal.
