En momentos en que América Latina apenas empieza a transitar por la fase del "apagón analógico" --proceso en el que ya se encuentran inmersos Europa y Norteamérica --, esta obra, dirigida a académicos, estudiantes y representantes de instituciones públicas vinculadas al proceso de transición digital, se propone ampliar los conocimientos acerca de la televisión digital y lo que ella significa en términos de historia, características técnicas, posibilidades de desarrollo interior y, sobre todo, posibles impactos y oportunidades que se podrían generar a nivel individual y colectivo en nuestra región. “La digitalización y el paradigma tecno-económico en la sociedad contemporánea”, “La televisión digital: último horizonte en el sector de las comunicaciones”, “Entendiendo la digitalización en el sector audiovisual” y “Los mapas comunicativos en la era digital” son los temas que se abordan en esta obra y que, con seguridad, contribuirán al necesario diálogo en torno a la transición digital.
A literary meditation on memory, time, love, and loss Fishing With Tardelli contemplates the relations among four parents — mother, father, stepfather, and a Brazilian fishing companion — and the author. Over marriages and remarriages, fathers and mothers become stepfathers and stepmothers, and brothers gain and lose stepbrothers and half-brothers, sisters and half-sisters across two continents. The various homes become part of Besner’s internal geography; memory, dream, story, fable become permeable layers folded over bald facts baldly stated. Beginning with an older man’s recollections of himself as a young teenager fishing with Tardelli in the bay in Rio de Janeiro, the memoir reflects on time lost and time regained. The narration ranges across the mid-’40s in Montreal, where two couples marry, divorce, and remarry in a new configuration; proceeds to Rio de Janeiro in the mid-’50s, when one of these newly formed families emigrates; and returns to Montreal in the late ’60s and early ’70s. After a 50-year interlude, Besner returns from Western Canada to the pandemic moment in Toronto.
Expressions of hate are words or actions that are discriminatory, hostile, or violent to a person or group for racial, sexual, ideological, ethnic, or identity reasons. Such expressions contribute to an environment of prejudice and intolerance towards those who are targeted. The spread of hate speech has been exacerbated by the growth of social media networks, and dissemination strategies (e.g., astroturfing) are becoming increasingly complex. Although there has been an exponential increase in the study of hate speech in recent years, most methods have focused on the English language, limiting research of the phenomenon in other languages such as Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese. It is cruci...
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 19th Conference of the Spanish Association for Artificial Intelligence, CAEPIA 2020, which was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, amalgamated with CAEPIA 2021, and held in Malaga, Spain, during September 2021. The 25 full papers presented were carefully selected from 40 submissions. The Conference of the Spanish Association of Artificial Intelligence (CAEPIA) is a biennial forum open to researchers from all over the world to present and discuss their latest scientific and technological advances in Antificial Intelligence (AI). The book is subdivided into the following topical headings: machine learning, optimization and search, and real-world applications. It covers such themes as ambient intelligence and smart environments; computer vision and robotics; constraints, search and planning; creativity and A.I.; education and A.I.; explainable and responsible A.I.; foundation, models and applications of A.I, and others.
A compelling ode to the essay form and the great essaysists themselves, from Montaigne to Woolf to Sontag. Essayism is a book about essays and essayists, a study of melancholy and depression, a love letter to belle-lettrists, and an account of the indispensable lifelines of reading and writing. Brian Dillon’s style incorporates diverse features of the essay. By turns agglomerative, associative, digressive, curious, passionate, and dispassionate, his is a branching book of possibilities, seeking consolation and direction from Michel de Montaigne, Virginia Woolf, Roland Barthes, Theodor Adorno, Walter Benjamin, Georges Perec, Elizabeth Hardwick, and Susan Sontag, to name just a few of his influences. Whether he is writing on origins, aphorisms, coherence, vulnerability, anxiety, or a number of other subjects, his command of language, his erudition, and his own personal history serve not so much to illuminate or magnify the subject as to discover it anew through a kaleidoscopic alignment of attention, thought, and feeling, a dazzling and momentary suspension of disparate elements, again and again.
An exploration of life at the margins of history from one of Russia’s most exciting contemporary writers Shortlisted for the 2021 International Booker Prize Winner of the MLA Lois Roth Translation Award With the death of her aunt, the narrator is left to sift through an apartment full of faded photographs, old postcards, letters, diaries, and heaps of souvenirs: a withered repository of a century of life in Russia. Carefully reassembled with calm, steady hands, these shards tell the story of how a seemingly ordinary Jewish family somehow managed to survive the myriad persecutions and repressions of the last century. In dialogue with writers like Roland Barthes, W. G. Sebald, Susan Sontag, and Osip Mandelstam, In Memory of Memory is imbued with rare intellectual curiosity and a wonderfully soft-spoken, poetic voice. Dipping into various forms—essay, fiction, memoir, travelogue, and historical documents—Stepanova assembles a vast panorama of ideas and personalities and offers an entirely new and bold exploration of cultural and personal memory.
Este libro contiene los resultados del proyecto Red Telemática de Cooperación y Formación Médica, ejecutado con el apoyo de la Universidad Rey Juan Carlos (España), el grupo de investigación Ciberimaginario (España) y la Cámara de Comercio de Barranquilla (Colombia), además de la participación de Salud Software House, (Colciencias) y el Ministerio de las TIC de Colombia. Se exponen las actividades que dieron como resultado el desarrollo de la Red Social REDYIKA, y se presenta una revisión actualizada del estado científico del debate relacionado con la eSalud, la salud 2.0, la alfabetización sanitaria y la promoción de los PLEs en dicho sector. Todo ello sin dejar de lado el abordaje crítico de los resultados generados en este proyecto, lo cual esperamos sirva de guía para el avance de la eSalud y la salud 2.0 en Colombia e Iberoamérica.
