Preference intensity without cardinality

La intensidad de preferencia es un concepto relevante, más general que el de preferencia cardinalmente representable, y se introduce una definición axiomática acorde. Se aplican los espacios uniformes como instrumento para estudiar la intensidad de preferencia. Se considera así la "unicidad" y la existencia de representación cardinal. Preference intensity is a relevant concept, more general than cardinal representable preference, and an according axiomatic definition is introduced. Uniform spaces are applied as a tool to study preference intensity. "Uniqueness" and the existence of cardinal representation are thus considered

The social potency of affect: identification and power in the immanent structuring of practice

We address the centrality of affect in structuring social practices, including those of organizing and managing. Social practices, it is argued, are contingent upon actors’ affectively charged involvement in immanent, yet indeterminate social relations. To understand this generative involvement, we commend a temporally-sensitive, critically-oriented theoretical framework, grounded in an affect-based ontology of practice. We demonstrate the relevance and credibility of this proposal through an analysis of the interactions of Board members in a UK consulting company
