Praktiken in/der Versammlung
Körper konstituieren eine Versammlung, indem sie ein Stück Zeit und ein Stück Raum für sich beanspruchen, um zu tun, wozu auch immer sie sich zusammengefunden haben. Spätestens unter dem Eindruck von physical distancing und weitreichenden Kontaktbeschränkungen in Zeiten der COVID-19-Pandemie wird offensichtlich, dass ein solches Verständnis von Versammlung, das sich auf Momente physischer Kopräsenz stützt, schnell ins Leere läuft: Versammlungen haben eben auch als räumlich distribuierte statt, ihr Raum und ihre Zeit können in unterschiedlichen Graden virtualisiert sein. Die Möglichkeiten und Wirkungen des Versammelns sind nicht so konsistent und selbstverständlich, wie sie auf ...
The Weasel Puffin Unicorn Baboon Pig Lobster Race
The Weasel Puffin Unicorn Baboon Pig Lobster Race race is a psychedelic children's story best described as, 'Doctor Doolittle meets Sergeant Pepper'. It's a zany story of a race as feverishly competitive as any held before or since.
Sheets, Diagrams, and Realism in Peirce
This book investigates a number of central problems in the philosophy of Charles Peirce grouped around the realism of his semiotics: the issue of how sign systems are developed and used in the investigation of reality. Thus, it deals with the precise character of Peirce's realism; with Peirce's special notion of propositions as signs which, at the same time, denote and describe the same object. It deals with diagrams as signs which depict more or less abstract states-of-affairs, facilitating reasoning about them; with assertions as public claims about the truth of propositions. It deals with iconicity in logic, the issue of self-control in reasoning, dependences between phenomena in their realist descriptions. A number of chapters deal with applied semiotics: with biosemiotic sign use among pre-human organisms: the multimedia combination of pictorial and linguistic information in human semiotic genres like cartoons, posters, poetry, monuments. All in all, the book makes a strong case for the actual relevance of Peirce's realist semiotics.
A Short History of the Future
Narrated by a far-future historian, Peter Jensen leaves an account of the world from the 1990s to the opening of the 23rd century as a gift to his granddaughter. A combination of fiction and scholarship, this third edition of Wagar's speculative history of the future alternates between descriptions of world events and intimate glimpses of this historian's family into the first centuries of the new millennium.
The Equation that Couldn't Be Solved
What do Bach's compositions, Rubik's Cube, the way we choose our mates, and the physics of subatomic particles have in common? All are governed by the laws of symmetry, which elegantly unify scientific and artistic principles. Yet the mathematical language of symmetry-known as group theory-did not emerge from the study of symmetry at all, but from an equation that couldn't be solved. For thousands of years mathematicians solved progressively more difficult algebraic equations, until they encountered the quintic equation, which resisted solution for three centuries. Working independently, two great prodigies ultimately proved that the quintic cannot be solved by a simple formula. These geniuses, a Norwegian named Niels Henrik Abel and a romantic Frenchman named Évariste Galois, both died tragically young. Their incredible labor, however, produced the origins of group theory. The first extensive, popular account of the mathematics of symmetry and order, The Equation That Couldn't Be Solved is told not through abstract formulas but in a beautifully written and dramatic account of the lives and work of some of the greatest and most intriguing mathematicians in history.
Narrative, Interrupted
Recent postclassical narratology has constructed top-down reading models that often remain blind to the frame-breaking potential of individual literary narratives. Narrative, Interrupted goes beyond the macro framing typical of postclassical narratology and sets out to sketch approaches more sensitive to generic specificities, disturbing details and authorial interference. Unlike the mainstream cognitive approaches or even the emergent unnatural narratology, the articles collected here explore the artifice involved in presenting something ordinary and realistic in literature. The first section of the book deals with anti-dynamic elements such as dialogue, details, private events and literary...
