The book combines a series of chapters considering a range of responses to the idea of 'de-westernizing' film studies with a series of in-depth interviews with filmmakers, scholars and critics.

Qu'est-ce que l'homme? Ce livre est une méditation de l'énigme de l'homme, à l'époque du transhumanisme. Il invite à considérer la différence entre l'homme antique et l'homme moderne selon ses principaux aspects : la vie, la production de biens, la technique et le travail, l'action et l'État, et enfin la pensée. Le fil conducteur en est le rapport avec la nature. L'homme antique vivait selon la Nature, selon l'ordre cosmique et la nature des choses, en espérant simplement habiter ce monde. (...) Chaque chose avait une place naturelle déterminée, dans le monde (dieu, homme, animal), dans la famille (masculin et féminin) et dans la Cité. L'homme moderne, au contraire, nie la Nature, en voulant vivre selon le "Faire" et le "construire", selon la "culture". Il tend à ne voir dans la Nature qu'un réservoir de "matières premières" livrées à son audace démiurgique, et il tend à mener une existence désincarnée, hors du monde de la vie. Cependant, entre une vie fondée sur la nature et une vie sans nature, demeure une autre possibilité : l'incarnation de la liberté dans la nature, la création d'un monde spirituel, qui est une 'seconde nature'. Ni nature, ni anti-nature, ni hors nature, mais un esprit libre dans la nature. Ce qui exige une âme incarnée et demande une philosophie de l'incarnation, en nous demandant : qui sommes-nous? Tout tient donc à la question du corps charnel, face au corps machine. Bâtir et sauver un monde humain bon, donc habitable, tel est notre défi."--Page 4 of cover. (shrink)

Dans le présent essai nous nous intéressons à la question du dépérissement de la politique à l'ère de la récession économique doublée d'une crise institutionnelle. Pour étayer l'analyse, cette étude s'est appuyée sur les deux principaux pays pionniers en matière de révolutions politiques et sociales : les États-Unis et la France, tous deux aujourd'hui en proie au déclin de leur économie et au délitement de leurs structures politiques et culturelles longtemps érigées en modèle universel. Au-delà de l'effondrement économique, nous assistons (...) au 'krach du Politique,' matérialisé par la désaffection politique, la défiance des institutions, la discréditation de la classe dirigeante. En résumé, la crise de la gouvernance. Nul doute, plus aucun projet de progrès social et politique ne peut surgir des institutions gouvernementales et parlementaires moribondes. Seule une mobilisation populaire en rupture avec le capitalisme peut amorcer une transformation radicale de la société en vue de bâtir un nouveau mode de production et une inédite gouvernance horizontale."--Page 4 of cover.

We prove that the Lambek calculus is complete w.r.t. L-models, i.e., free semigroup models. We also prove the completeness w.r.t. relativized relational models over the natural linear order of integers.

In this paper we prove the Chomsky Conjecture (all languages recognized by the Lambek calculus are context-free) for both the full Lambek calculus and its product-free fragment. For the latter case we present a construction of context-free grammars involving only product-free types.

With the advancement of scientific collaboration in the 20th century, researchers started collaborating in many research areas. Researchers and scientists no longer remain solitary individuals; instead, they collaborate to advance fundamental understandings of research topics. Various bibliometric methods are used to quantify the scientific collaboration among researchers and scientific communities. Among these different bibliometric methods, the co-authorship method is one of the most verifiable methods to quantify or analyze scientific collaboration. In this research, the initial study has been conducted to (...) analyze interdisciplinary research activities in the computer science domain. The ACM has classified the computer science fields. We selected the Journal of Universal Computer Science for experimentation purposes. The J.UCS is the first Journal of Computer Science that addresses a complete ACM topic. Using J.UCS data, the co-authorship network of the researcher up to the 2nd level was developed. Then the co-authorship network was analyzed to find interdisciplinary among scientific communities. Additionally, the results are also visualized to comprehend the interdisciplinary among the ACM categories. A whole working web-based system has been developed, and a forced directed graph technique has been implemented to understand IDR trends in ACM categories. Finally, the IDR values between the categories are computed to quantify the collaboration trends among the ACM categories. It was found that “Artificial Intelligence” and “Information Storage and Retrieval”, “Natural Language Processing and Information Storage and Retrieval”, and “Human-Computer Interface” and “Database Applications” were found the most overlapping areas by acquiring an IDR score of 0.879, 0.711, and 0.663, respectively.

In 1958 J. Lambek introduced a calculusL of syntactic types and defined an equivalence relation on types: x y means that there exists a sequence x=x1,...,xn=y (n 1), such thatx i x i+1 or xi+ x i (1 i n). He pointed out thatx y if and only if there is joinz such thatx z andy z. This paper gives an effective characterization of this equivalence for the Lambeck calculiL andLP, and for the multiplicative fragments of Girard's and Yetter's linear (...) logics. Moreover, for the non-directed Lambek calculusLP and the multiplicative fragment of Girard's linear logic, we present linear time algorithms deciding whether two types are equal, and finding a join for them if they are.

This book engages with a radical critique of the modern state and the contemporary economic order: Alasdair MacIntyre's 'revolutionary Aristotelianism' project. Central to this critique is the idea that the moral norms that markets and states tend to reproduce or reinforce are an obstacle to the development of practical judgment The book outlines MacIntyre's theory of practical reason and discusses some of the institutional arrangements that can be derived from it. It also explores the growing body of literature which has (...) started to examine the extent to which alternative forms of social organisation might be more compatible with MacIntyre's account of the virtues. This literature includes various proposals for alternative political and economic arrangements, ranging from certain forms of market socialism to the promotion of different forms of mutual and cooperative enterprises. Finally, the book offers an account of the type of institutional analysis required for the advancement of the revolutionary Aristotelianism project. This is achieved by showing how some key features of the Bloomington school of political economy are not only compatible with MacIntyre's political philosophy, but also that a synthesis between neo-Aristotelian moral philosophy and the work of the Bloomington school offers a robust alternative for revolutionary Aristotelians. Thus, the book defends the idea that MacIntyre's account of human flourishing is more likely to be realised, although imperfectly, in a polycentric social order. This book will be of interest to social scientists working in questions of political economy as well as political and moral philosophers. (shrink)

In an approach to quantify the locomotor response to environmental stimuli in fishes and its central control mechanisms, initially stochastic models of spontaneous locomotor behavior are being formulated. In the present paper, the locomotor patterns of three active nurse shark,Ginglymostoma cirratum, in six experiments are converted into 17 locomotor variables and found to have definite time series structure. Sixty-seven of the 102 first order serial correlation coefficients are statistically significant, the incidence rate of which differs between experiments and between locomotor (...) variables. The percent residual variation about an autoregressive equation is transformed by a Fisher's z statistic and the means are found to differ significantly among experiments and among variables. The experiment by variable interaction is very low implying a consistency in the ranks of the variables despite the wide differences in their absolute levels over the experiments. This suggests the existence of a relatively rigid albeit occasionally latent locomotor control mechanism in the central nervous system. (shrink)
