Power, Knowledge and Feminist Scholarship

Feminist scholarship is sometimes dismissed as not quite ‘proper’ knowledge – it’s too political or subjective, many argue. But what are the boundaries of ‘proper’ knowledge? Who defines them, and how are they changing? How do feminists negotiate them? And how does this boundary-work affect women’s and gender studies, and its scholars’ and students’ lives? These are the questions tackled by this ground-breaking ethnography of academia inspired by feminist epistemology, Foucault, and science and technology studies. Drawing on data collected over a decade in Portugal and the UK, US and Scandinavia, this title explores different spaces of academic work and sociability, conside...

Across the Black Waters

Across the Black Waters is widely rated as an outstanding novel. It is a simple story about the ultimate futility and sorrow of war. It is a journey not just from a small village in Punjab to Flanders, from father to soldier, field to front — but from a soul that nurtures to one that kills. Overlooking the claims of war classics like All Quiet on the Western Front, the British Council selected and adapted this novel into a play to mark the 80th anniversary of the end of World War I. "The foremost of Indian novelists." — Daily Telegraph "His descriptions of brutality match in compassion and outrage, and perhaps also in poetic flair, those of Wilfred Owen, Siegfried Sasson, or David Jones." — Alastair Niven, British Literary Critic

AI and Common Sense

Common sense is the endless frontier in the development of artificial intelligence, but what exactly is common sense, can we replicate it in algorithmic form, and if we can – should we? Bauer, Schiele and their contributors from a range of disciplines analyse the nature of common sense, and the consequent challenges of incorporating into artificial intelligence models. They look at different ways we might understand common sense and which of these ways are simulated within computer algorithms. These include sensory integration, self-evident truths, rhetorical common places, and mutuality and intentionality of actors within a moral community. How far are these possible features within and o...

A presente obra resulta de material organizado pelo Prof. Dr. Álvaro Rizzoli, sob a forma de inventário de processos do judiciário relativos a escravos e libertos que estiveram sob a guarda do extinto Arquivo de História Contemporânea da UFSCar, bem como de registros do Arquivo da Cúria Diocesana de São Carlos. Os dados arrolados por este inventário analítico, gerados no interior das instituições da sociedade escravista, apesar dos vieses, permitem o desenvolvimento de pesquisas em diferentes níveis do cotidiano do escravo. A presente publicação tem como origem os estudos e pesquisas sobre africanidades brasileiras, do ponto de vista da Sociologia, História e Política, realizadas junto ao NEAB/UFSCar, no período de 1991 a 1996.
