It reveals culture-specific perceptions of what counts as an apology and what constitutes politeness. It offers a critical discussion of Brown and Levinson's theory and provides counterevidence to the correlation between indirectness and politeness underlying their theory. Their theory is applied to two languages that rely less heavily on indirectness in conveying politeness than does English, and to a speech act that does not become more polite through indirectness. An analysis of the face considerations involved in apologising shows that in contrast to disarming apologies, remedial apologies are mainly directed towards positive face needs, which are crucial for the restoration of social equilibrium and maintenance of relationships. The data show that while English apologies are characterised by a relatively strong focus on both interlocutors' negative face, Polish apologies display a particular concern for positive face. For Russian speakers, in contrast, apologies seem to involve a lower degree of face threat than they do in the other two languages.Pragmatics & beyond ;v. 191.ApologizingCross-cultural studiesSocial interactionApologizingSocial interaction.306.44ES 146rvkOgiermann Eva1800262MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910972650603321On apologising in negative and positive politeness cultures4344975UNINA04795nam 22006735 450 991099278920332120250330002907.0981-9641-58-610.1007/978-981-96-4158-1(CKB)38166483700041(DE-He213)978-981-96-4158-1(MiAaPQ)EBC31979890(Au-PeEL)EBL31979890(EXLCZ)993816648370004120250330d2025 u| 0engur|||||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierEthical Assemblages of Artificial Intelligence Controversies, Uncertainties, and Networks /by Helena Machado, Susana Silva1st ed. 2025.Singapore :Springer Nature Singapore :Imprint: Palgrave Macmillan,2025.1 online resource (XXV, 131 p. 3 illus., 1 illus. in color.) 981-9641-57-8 Chapter 1: Introduction -- Chapter 2: The Technoscientific Imaginary -- Chapter 3: The case of facial recognition technologies -- Chapter 4: The case of AI-assisted reproductive technologies -- Chapter 5: Conclusion.“Using the lens of ethical assemblages, Helena Machado and Susana Silva offer insights on the role of AI in our societies that are off the beaten track. Avoiding any clichés about the benefits and challenges of AI, they address some of the hard questions, such as how the increasing political influence of the tech industry harms research and clinical care, and how academic research on AI – including social science and ethics research – can become implicated in maintaining or even increasing the inequities that result from the current political economy”. -Barbara Prainsack, University of Vienna, Austria “The authors offer a compelling exploration of AI in the domains of facial recognition and assisted reproductive technologies, demonstrating that the debate around AI must consider its deep embeddedness in social contexts that are continuously shaped by a variety of stakeholders, their knowledge and power dynamics. Despite the technical nature of the topic at hand, they invite not only professionals, but also the public into the conversation and encourage all of us to engage with issues too often left to experts”. -Veerle Provoost, Ghent University, Belgium This book critically examines the ethical challenges of Artificial Intelligence (AI), focusing on facial recognition and AI-assisted reproductive technologies. It explores how these issues intertwine with social and political processes and power dynamics in digital societies. What defines ethical versus unethical in the realm of AI? Why do some ethical debates dominate, while others are overlooked? Which actors and institutions align or diverge in these discussions? To address these questions, the authors introduce the concept of "ethical assemblages," offering fresh perspectives on the complexities of AI ethics and their impact on socio-technoscientific structures. Helena Machado, Full Professor of Sociology at University of Minho (Braga, Portugal), conducts research at the intersection of sociology, science and technology studies, critical surveillance studies, and criminology.
