The Double Mangle: Steering a Course between the Scylla of Embedded Structure and the Charybdis of Strong Symmetry
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The recognition that information systems comprise both technical and social elements has not been matched by the emergence of a coherent theoretical understanding of the nature of, and relationship between, these elements. A number of approaches have been advocated that seek to transcend traditional assumptions of either technological or social determinism, but these may be seen to have their own limitations. Drawing on debates around structuration theory and actor network theory, an alternative perspective is proposed. This “double mangle” model seeks to provide a way between the idea of social structure being embedded in technology and strong claims of symmetry between material and human agency. The implications of this model are discussed.

The hypoxia-induced paralogs Scylla and Charybdis inhibit growth by down-regulating S6K activity upstream of TSC in Drosophila.
Diverse extrinsic and intrinsic cues must be integrated within a developing organism to ensure appropriate growth at the cellular and organismal level. In Drosophila, the insulin receptor/TOR/S6K signaling network plays a fundamental role in the control of metabolism and cell growth. Here we show that scylla and charybdis, two homologous genes identified as growth suppressors in an EP (enhancer...

متن کاملJuvenile fibromatosis. A case report showing invasion of the bone.
This paper reports a growth occurring at the angle of the mandible of a 6-year-old boy. The growth consisted of mature-looking fibroblasts with a generous collagenous matrix. The course of this patient up to the present is described as it portrays some of the problems encountered in children with fibrous growths. Despite recent articles on the nature of such growths there remain many instances ...
متن کاملThe urge to prevent restenosis after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty. Scylla and Charybdis in disguise.
W hen Odysseus attempted to sail unharmed between Scylla and Charybdis, he could not have dreamt to ever be quoted in relation to restenosis after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA). To be truly successful, balloon dilatation should change the preexistent stenotic lesion to the extent that sufficient luminal widening is achieved and restenosis does not occur. Nevertheless, ap...
