Objetivos:

Preparar pesquisadores em nível de mestrado e doutorado para projetos de pesquisa que tratem da interação social em mundos virtuais. Analisaremos os efeitos de estruturas temporais e a materialidade de artefatos digitais em como atividades organizacionais ocorrem em mundos virtuais. O foco da análise se dá sobretudo em espaços digitais (sintéticos) imersivos, como mundos virtuais, a questão do metaverso, e outras formas de realidade. A abordagem da disciplina é de processos, em que deixamos de considerar a realidade como uma substância tangível ou abstrata (ex. produtos, edifícios, empresa, conselho de administração, decisão, estratégia) para estuda-la como um fluxo, ou o processo que se desenrola em ambientes digitais que se mesclam com o mundo físico. Observa-se como estruturas temporais (ex. deadlines, cronogramas, medidores de ritmo e frequência, âncoras de sincronicidade) moldam e são moldadas por artefatos digitais em organizações modernas.

Objectives:

The objective is to develop graduate students’ capabilities to develop research projects approaching social interaction in virtual worlds. We will discuss the effects of temporal structures and the materiality of digital artifacts on how organizational activities emerge in virtual worlds. The focus of analysis is mainly on immersive digital (synthetic) spaces, as virtual worlds, and the called ‘metaverse’. Here we adopt a process approach, in which we do not consider the reality as tangible or abstract substance (e.g. products, buildings, company, board of directors, decision, strategy) but as a flux, or processes that unfolds in digital worlds mixing with physical reality. It will observe how temporal structures (e.g. deadlines, schedules, rhythm and frequency, synchronicity anchors) shape and are shaped by digital artifacts in modern organizations.

Justificativa:

A transformação digital de processos e ambientes pede uma abordagem distinta de teorias e processos para explicar interações sociais e econômicas em mundos digitais. A fonte de agency passa não ser apenas vinda de humanos, mas distribuída com não-humanos, como elementos de inteligência artificial. Em geral não se discute a interação de humanos e artefatos digitais nas escolhas e comportamento, o tempo é uma unidade objetiva, invariante e linear (tempo-relógio ou tempo-calendário). Ambientes sintéticos imersivos, como mundos digitais e games, oferecem oportunidades para interação humana que seguem outras estruturas temporais, regras e possibilidades de ação. Essa ação ainda é distribuída com atores não-humanos. A disciplina oferece uma base para estudos organizacionais, de administração, contabilidade, economia, administração de sistemas de informação, e correlatos, em que o fenômeno social se passa nestes espaços.

Rationale:

Digital transformation of processes and social environments require a distinct approach of theories and methods to explain social and economic interactions in digital worlds. The source of agency starts to come from non-human agents (as artificial intelligence), rather just from humans. In general, it is not considered the interaction between humans and digital artifacts on the choices and behavior, and time is objective, invariant and linear (clock-time or calendar-time). Synthetic immersive spaces, like digital worlds and games, offer opportunities for human interaction that follow different temporal structures, rules and possibilities for action. Such action, or agency, is distributed among human and non-human actors. This course offers a baseline for organizational studies, business administration, economics, accounting, information system management, in which the social phenomena unfold in virtual worlds.

Forma de Avaliação:

Avaliação será conduzida baseada em um ensaio teórico de um dos temas tratados (texto curto com reflexões dos temas tratados) (E1) e proposta de pesquisa no tema (E2), com nota variando de 0,0 a 10,0. Uma média ponderada será calculada considerando os seguintes pesos: 60% para E1 e 40% para E2. O conceito final será atribuído considerando o seguinte mapeamento em função da média ponderada: média ponderada ≥ 8,0: A 6,5 ≤ média ponderada < 8,0: B 5,0 ≤ média ponderada < 6,5: C média ponderada < 5,0: R

Type of Assessment:

Assessment will be carried out through on an essay for discussed subjects (short texts with reflections on the discussed subjects) (E1) and a research proposal (E2), with a grade ranging from 0.0 to 10.0 for each assignment. A weighted average will be calculated considering the following weights: 60% for E1 and 40% for E2. The final grade will be assigned through the following mapping considering the weighted average: weighted average ≥ 8.0: A 6.5 ≤ weighted average < 8.0: B 5.0 ≤ weighted average < 6.5: C weighted average< 5.0: R
