    Racism.Albert Memmi, Anthony Appiah & Steve Martinot - 2000
    By turns historical, sociological and autobiographical, this book investigates racism as social pathology - a cultural disease that prevails because it allows one segment of society to empower itself at the expense of another.

    The nature of virtual communities.Daniel Memmi - 2006 - AI and Society 20 (3):288-300.
    The impressive development of electronic communication techniques has given rise to virtual communities. The nature of these computer-mediated communities has been the subject of much recent debate. Are they ordinary social groups in electronic form, or are they fundamentally different from traditional communities? Understanding virtual communities seems a prerequisite for the design of better communication systems. To clarify this debate, we will resort to the classical sociological distinction between small traditional communities (based on personal relations) and modern social groups (bound (...)

    Comparative foundations of Eastern and Western thought.Daniel Memmi - 2017 - AI and Society 32 (3):359-368.
    Modern science and technology originated in Western Europe within a specific culture, but they have now been adopted and developed by several Eastern countries as well. We analyze the features of Western culture that may explain the rise of modern science with its associated economic development. A comparative analysis of Eastern cultures will then help us evaluate how far could contemporary science be successfully integrated within very different cultures. Without denying the role of social and political institutions, we would like (...)

    Cultural consequences of computing technology.Daniel Memmi - 2013 - AI and Society 28 (1):77-85.
    Computing technology is clearly a technical revolution but will most probably bring about a cultural revolution as well. The effects of this technology on human culture will be dramatic and far-reaching. Yet, computers and electronic networks are but the latest development in a long history of cognitive tools, such as writing and printing. We will examine this history, which exhibits long-term trends toward an increasing democratization of culture, before turning to today’s technology. Within this framework, we will analyze the probable (...)

    L'autoévaluation, une parenthèse? Les hésitations de la biopolitique.Dominique Memmi - 2011 - Cahiers Internationaux de Sociologie n° 128-129 (1):299-314.
    Résumé Comment les institutions pensent-elles aujourd’hui ceux qu’elles administrent? Les discours de prévention en matière de santé depuis les années 1970 présupposent des capacités individuelles à l’autoévaluation : une introspection sans profondeur guidée par des représentants de l’État, et conjuguant jouissance du calcul et érotisation de l’autocontrôle. Mais, doublant cette gouvernementabilité libérale, l’intense dramatisation du récit de prévention depuis la fin des années 1990 signale le retour à une biopolitique plus impérieuse et plus conservatrice, axée sur une sacralisation laïque de (...)

    Connectionism and artificial intelligence as cognitive models.Daniel Memmi - 1990 - AI and Society 4 (2):115-136.
    The current renewal of connectionist techniques using networks of neuron-like units has started to have an influence on cognitive modelling. However, compared with classical artificial intelligence methods, the position of connectionism is still not clear. In this article artificial intelligence and connectionism are systematically compared as cognitive models so as to bring out the advantages and shortcomings of each. The problem of structured representations appears to be particularly important, suggesting likely research directions.

    Data coding takes place within a context.Daniel Memmi - 1997 - Behavioral and Brain Sciences 20 (1):77-78.
    Recoding the data for relational learning is both easier and more difficult than it might appear. Human beings routinely find the appropriate representation for a given problem because coding always takes place within the framework of a domain, theory, or background knowledge. How this can be achieved is still highly speculative, but should probably be investigated with hybrid models.

    Demander une assistance médicale à la procréation, recourir à l'avortement pour des raisons diverses, contrôler après coup une conduite sexuelle à risque par une pilule du lendemain, et bientôt peut-être exiger d'être euthanasié : depuis que l'État s'est engagé dans un processus de dépénalisation de ces pratiques médicales, on peut aujourd'hui faire beaucoup de choses de son propre corps quand il s'agit du début ou de la fin de vie. Cette liberté s'exerce néanmoins à une condition, toujours la même : (...)

    Notre seuil de tolérance à la violence imposée par la domination sociale contribue à définir l’univers de contraintes dans lequel sont immergés les « SDF ». Il leur offre aussi des issues à la domination. Encore faut-il quelques dispositions sociales pour pouvoir les emprunter, pour saisir les maigres chances représentées par ce qui peut alors devenir un atout : la définition sociale d’eux-mêmes dont les plus dominés font l’objet.We apprehend homelessness according to our own tolerance level toward physical violence imposed (...)

    The relevance for science of Western and Eastern cultures.Daniel Memmi - 2019 - AI and Society 34 (3):599-608.
    The rise of modern science took place in Western Europe, and one may ask why this was the case. We analyze the roots of modern science by replacing scientific ideas within the framework of Western culture, notably the twin heritage of biblical thought and Greek philosophy. We also investigate Eastern traditions so as to highlight Western beliefs by comparison, and to argue for their relevance to contemporary science. Classical Western conceptions that fostered the rise of science are now largely obsolete, (...)
