Belief Revision in Non-Classical Logics
Since the advent of the Semantic Web, interest in the dynamics of ontologies (ontology evolution) has grown significantly. Belief revision presents a good theoretical framework for dealing with this problem; however, classical belief revision is not well suited for logics such as Description Logics. Belief Revision in Non-Classical Logics presents a framework which can be applied to a wide class of logics that include – besides most Description Logics such as the ones behind OWL – Horn Logic and Intuitionistic logic, amongst others. The author also presents algorithms for the most important constructions in belief bases. Researchers and practitioners in theoretical computing will find this an invaluable resource.
Limits of Democracy
In this timely book, Brazilian political philosopher Marcos Nobre analyzes the social and political roots of the election of Jair Bolsonaro to the presidency of Brazil and shows how this process is connected to the rise of new far-right movements threatening democracy around the world. Nobre describes the rise of the movement that elected Bolsonaro as a reactionary and anti-democratic highjack of the democratic impulse unleashed by the June 2013 uprisings, when millions of Brazilians took to the streets to protest against a dysfunctional political system, and frames the Brazilian case within the global crisis that exposed the limits of a democracy based on the neoliberal consensus after the ...
Semantics of Belief Change Operators for Intelligent Agents: Iteration, Postulates, and Realizability
One of the core problems in artificial intelligence is the modelling of human reasoning and intelligent behaviour. The representation of knowledge, and reasoning about it, are of crucial importance in achieving this. This book, Semantics of Belief Change Operators for Intelligent Agents: Iteration, Postulates, and Realizability, addresses a number of significant research questions in belief change theory from a semantic point of view; in particular, the connection between different types of belief changes and plausibility relations over possible worlds is investigated. This connection is characterized for revision over general classical logics, showing which relations are capturing AGM revis...
Algoritmos, fake news e pós-verdade
Esta obra é resultado de dois anos e meio de pesquisa sobre o impacto da pós-verdade, aliada às fake news e aos algoritmos, na democracia, realizada no mestrado em Crítica Cultural, pela Universidade do Estado da Bahia. Fiz aqui um compilado dos principais estudiosos sobre o tema, sempre linkando as três vertentes: algoritmos, fake news e pós-verdade. Através de uma linguagem simplificada, me limito às definições, aos conceitos e às interpretações ligadas à proposta de mostrar como a tríade pode manipular nossas emoções e consequentemente ações, e como isso pode influenciar diretamente uma eleição. Dialogo também com a obra literária distópica "1984", de George Orwell...
Discurso de Ódio
A liberdade de expressão é frequentemente considerada um dos pilares da democracia e, por consequência, merecedora de proteção especial pelo sistema jurídico. No Brasil, ela recebe o status prestigioso de direito constitucional fundamental. De outro lado, geralmente se aceita que direitos fundamentais não são absolutos, podendo ser limitados, quando conflitam com outros direitos. Assim, a liberdade de expressão encontra limites. (...) Nesse cenário de limitações, um conceito de contornos imprecisos tem paulatinamente ganhado destaque: discurso de ódio. (...) Neste livro, interessa-nos discutir como o termo vem sendo usado e como deveria ser usado por um subconjunto particular de cidadãos, os juristas.
The Bloomsbury Handbook of Sound Art
The Bloomsbury Handbook of Sound Art explores and delineates what Sound Art is in the 21st century. Sound artworks today embody the contemporary and transcultural trends towards the post-apocalyptic, a wide sensorial spectrum of sonic imaginaries as well as the decolonization and deinstitutionalization around the making of sound. Within the areas of musicology, art history, and, later, sound studies, Sound Art has evolved at least since the 1980s into a turbulant field of academic critique and aesthetic analysis. Summoning artists, researchers, curators, and critics, this volume takes note of and reflects the most recent shifts and drifts in Sound Art--rooted in sonic histories and implying future trajectories.
The Right in the Americas
The Right in the Americas discusses the origins, development, and current state of conservative and right-wing movements in ten countries in the Americas. The growth of the right is one of the most important issues of the moment in global politics. Within the context of democracy erosion, rejection of traditional politics, and economic uncertainty, right and extreme-right actors are capable of offering misguided answers and hope to a significant part of a country’s population, who will trust their promises and bring them to power with their vote. This dynamic has repeated itself in an astonishingly consistent pattern across the Americas. This book analyses eight Latin American countries - ...
Direito, Estado e Sociedade
O conhecimento é algo que sempre deve ser partilhado. Na história da ciência, percebemos que os grandes avanços ocorrem pelo trabalho colaborativo, mesmo que em momentos diferentes. Não é por outro motivo que Isaac Newton, ao escrever uma carta a Robert Hooke, afirmou que "Se eu vi mais longe, foi por estar sobre ombros de gigantes." A coletânea organizada pela editora Dialética intitulada Direito, Estado e Sociedade nos permite exatamente isso, enxergar a realidade de maneira profunda, pois os capítulos produzidos são verdadeiros "ombros de gigantes" para que possamos enxergar longe. O interesse nos textos produzidos é autoevidente, pois a imbricação dos temas que norteiam a co...
Protest Movements as Media Vehicles of the Brazilian New Right
This book investigates right-wing populism in Brazil. It is a unique study of the major protest movements of the New Right that dominated the streets of São Paulo from 2014 to 2018 and acted as a prelude to Jair Bolsonaro’s election. Examining the populist rhetoric that circulated among the movements’ online followers, McLean reveals the formation of different right-wing publics and gives insight into the topics that have the greatest impact on public political debate. Through interviewing multiple activists and observing them at political events, McLean also exposes motivations for engaging in political action and demonstrates how the movements act as media vehicles of the New Right. Such an intimate study on the Brazilian New Right has never before been carried out in such in-depth detail.
