Tanz im Film
Seit es Film gibt, gibt es Tanzfilme. Zwischen dem tanzenden Licht und der Bewegung menschlicher Körper besteht eine ambivalente Verwandtschaft. Zwei gegensätzliche Erkenntnisweisen begegnen einander: der geometrisierende Blick und die Unmittelbarkeit körperlicher Erfahrung. Ob in Quentin Tarantinos "Pulp Fiction", Jean-Luc Godards "Bande à part" oder Lars von Triers "Dancer in the Dark", in "Flashdance", der "Step Up"-Reihe oder den amerikanischen Klassikern, überall lassen sich Einstiegspunkte zu Fragen finden, die das Feld der Tanzwissenschaft sprengen und zum Kern der Gesellschaft vordringen. Mit Beiträgen von Ladina Bucher, Desiree Beil, Anne Maria Faisst, Claudia Freiberger, Bernhard Frena, Simon Gansinger, Marlene Gallner, Nitya Koch, Sarah Kanawin, Andreas Köhneman, Loïc Kurzweil, Jasmin Rückert, Simon Sailer, Tobias Stadler, Alina Tretinjak, Florian Wagner, Lisanne Wiegand und Judith Wiemers.
Holocaust Graphic Narratives
Holocaust Graphic Narratives examines Holocaust graphic novels and memoirs, analyzing the genre as one that enables intergenerational transmission of trauma and memory. Here, the graphic novel becomes a medium uniquely positioned to create a sense of felt immediacy, urgency, and authenticity at the intersection of history and the imagination.
Inside the World of Computing
Computers and the Internet are an undeniable and inextricable part of our daily lives. This book is for those who wish to better understand how this came to be. It explores the technological bases of computers, networks, software and data management, leading to the development of four pillars on which the essential applications that have a strong impact on individuals and society are based: embedded systems, Artificial Intelligence, the Internet, image processing and vision. We will travel to the heart of major application areas: robotics, virtual reality, health, mobility, energy, the factory of the future, not forgetting the major questions that this digitization can raise. This book is the authors testimony after fifty years spent in environments that are very open to new technologies. It offers perspectives on the evolution of the digital world that we live in.
An Introduction to the Sociology of Religion
What are religion and nonreligion? How do fundamentalism and religious radicalization emerge and grow? How do social class, gender, sexuality, race, ethnicity, and other factors affect religious beliefs, practices, and organizations? Is religion a fundamental driving force or do political leaders use religion for their own purposes? In exploring these pertinent questions, An Introduction to the Sociology of Religion provides an overview of sociological theories of contemporary religious life. Theoretical discussion is accompanied by presentations of empirical research from several religious traditions in many parts of the world. The sociology of religion is linked closely to developments in ...
Natural Language Processing in the Real World
Natural Language Processing in the Real World is a practical guide for applying data science and machine learning to build Natural Language Processing (NLP) solutions. Where traditional, academic-taught NLP is often accompanied by a data source or dataset to aid solution building, this book is situated in the real world where there may not be an existing rich dataset. This book covers the basic concepts behind NLP and text processing and discusses the applications across 15 industry verticals. From data sources and extraction to transformation and modelling, and classic Machine Learning to Deep Learning and Transformers, several popular applications of NLP are discussed and implemented. This book provides a hands-on and holistic guide for anyone looking to build NLP solutions, from students of Computer Science to those involved in large-scale industrial projects.
Amplified Advantage
Amplified Advantage investigates the value and impact of today’s small liberal arts colleges through an extended examination of a recent cohort of students attending them. It demonstrates how these colleges sometimes succeed and sometimes fail in equalizing the experience of all their students. But there is more to the book than that. Although primarily an account of life and learning at small liberal arts colleges in the US today, scholars will find much of theoretical interest underlying the account. The context of the small liberal arts college is used to unpack how class works. Unlike many other books written about class in college, Amplified Advantage is not exclusively focused on how...
Neural Machine Translation
Learn how to build machine translation systems with deep learning from the ground up, from basic concepts to cutting-edge research.
The Accidental Equalizer
"Though equality is one of the most dearly cherished and proudly proclaimed ideals of our nation, you don't have to look far to see that we not only fall short of it, inequality often grows from one generation to the next. But what if I were to tell you that an egalitarian system has been hiding in plain sight? In this project, Duke sociologist Jessi Streib puts forward a new and bold conclusion: a college degree is the greatest economic equalizer because graduates enter a job market in which success is based on luck. Streib shows that among students who meet a low bar of employability-in particular business majors at a non-elite public university-people from different class backgrounds rece...
Potential on the Periphery
This book profiles the Simmons Memorial Foundation (SMF), a grassroots non-profit organization co-founded by Omari Scott Simmons, that promotes college access for vulnerable students. Simmons discusses how the organization has helped students secure admission and succeed in college, using this example to contextualize the broader realm of existing education practice, academic theory, and public policy.
A Garden of Integrals
The derivative and the integral are the fundamental notions of calculus. Though there is essentially only one derivative, there is a variety of integrals, developed over the years for a variety of purposes, and this book describes them. No other single source treats all of the integrals of Cauchy, Riemann, Riemann-Stieltjes, Lebesgue, Lebesgue-Steiltjes, Henstock-Kurzweil, Weiner, and Feynman. The basic properties of each are proved, their similarities and differences are pointed out, and the reasons for their existence and their uses are given, with plentiful historical information. The audience for the book is advanced undergraduate mathematics students, graduate students, and faculty members, of which even the most experienced are unlikely to be aware of all of the integrals in the Garden of Integrals. Professor Burk's clear and well-motivated exposition makes this book a joy to read. There is no other book like it.
