Dialogue and the New Cosmopolitanism
Dialogue and the New Cosmopolitanism: Conversations with Edward Demenchonok stands in opposition to the doctrine that might makes right and that the purpose of politics is to establish domination over others rather than justice and the good life for all. In the pursuit of the latter goal, the book stresses the importance of dialogue with participants who take seriously the views and interests of others and who seek to reach a fair solution. In this sense, the book supports the idea of cosmopolitanism, which—by contrast to empire—involves multi-lateral cooperation and thus the quest for a just cosmopolis. The international contributors to this volume, with their varied perspectives, are all committed to this same quest. Edited by Fred Dallmayr, the chapters take the form of conversations with Edward Demenchonok, a well-known practitioner of international and cross-cultural philosophy. The conversations are structured in parts that stress the philosophical, anthropological, cultural, and ethical dimensions of global dialogue. In our conflicted world, it is inspiring to find so many authors from different places agreeing on a shared vision.
Electrified Voices
The aim of this book is to explore the phenomenon of the electrified voice through interdisciplinary approaches such as media and technology studies, social history, and comparative cultural studies. The book focuses on three problem clusters: reflections on the societal level about the task of electronic voice transmission; the mediation of gender- and occupation-specific vocal stereotypes in audio and audio-visual formats; and the genesis of such vocal stereotypes in national radio and film cultures. Such a historicizing approach to societal experience in the field of voice mediation, including the use and interpretation of voice media, is today of great relevance in light of the collective learning processes currently triggered by rapid advances in technology.
Adventure
Action-Adventure tales to lead you to places you’ve never been — and hope you make it back. Make a wildfire your ally. Tread softly with the French Resistance during WWII. Extract an informant from the dangers of the Babylonian streets. Sail the Atlantic, float down a river, or take a fishing boat far out to sea. And you can always fight the Phoenicians with the least lucky Viking ever born. Join the adventure and you’ll never look back.
The Markets for Force
The Markets for Force examines and compares the markets for private military and security contractors in twelve states: Argentina, Guatemala, Peru, Ecuador, the United Kingdom, the Czech Republic, Ukraine, Russia, Afghanistan, China, Canada, and the United States. Editors Molly Dunigan and Ulrich Petersohn argue that the global market for force is actually a conglomeration of many types of markets that vary according to local politics and geostrategic context. Each case study investigates the particular characteristics of the region's market, how each market evolved into its current form, and what consequence the privatized market may have for state military force and the provision of public...
From Xenakis's UPIC to Graphic Notation Today
From Xenakis's UPIC to Graphic Notation Today sheds light on the revolutionary UPIC system, developed by composer Iannis Xenakis in the late 1970s. This digital innovation enables the transformation of drawings into musical compositions and continues to shape the world of contemporary music notation. Freely available in open access, this book provides unrestricted access to the historical origins of UPIC and its evolution into modern notation techniques. Richly illustrated, it reveals the unique fusion of image and sound. Through QR codes, readers can experience the compositions interactively. IANNES XENAKIS (1922–2001) was not only a composer but also a visionary and a bridge-builder between music, mathematics, and architecture. Originally trained as an engineer in Athens, he developed innovative compositional techniques that integrate geometric and mathematical principles with music. His creation of the UPIC system established him as a pioneer of computer-assisted music, with an influence that extends into today's musical landscape. Often described as a "sound architect," Xenakis's unique approach and interdisciplinary works remain groundbreaking.
Sonic Overload
Composers Alfred Schnittke and Valentin Silvestrov brought us some of the most memorable music of the late Soviet Union. Sonic Overload traces these composers' attempts to embrace all aspects of the contemporary soundscape, including influences of popular music, rock, and jazz, before they ultimately retreated to more refined sonic structures.
Particle Physics at the Year of Astronomy
These proceedings are devoted to a wide variety of both theoretical and experimental areas in particle physics. The topics include physics at accelerators and studies of Standard Model and Beyond, neutrino and astroparticle physics, cosmology, CP Violation and rare decays, hadron physics, and new developments in quantum field theory. The papers of the volume reveal the present status and new development in the above mentioned items. In particular, the first results on measurement of LHC pp collision events are also reported.

What We Would Like Lhc To Give Us - Proceedings Of The International School Of Subnuclear Physics
This book is the proceedings of the International School of Subnuclear Physics, ISSP 2012, 50th Course — ERICE, 23 June 2013 - 2 July 2012. This course was devoted to the celebrations of the 50th Anniversary of the Subnuclear Physics School which was started in 1961 by Antonino Zichichi with John Bell at CERN and formally established in 1962 by Bell, Blackett, Weisskopf, Rabi and Zichichi in Geneva (CERN). The lectures covered the latest and most significant achievements in theoretical and in experimental subnuclear physics.
