Featuring diverse disciplines and including creative as well as critical work, The Ends of Theory both exemplifies the impact of critical theory and questions its future. The sixteen essays in this anthology reflect on the nature and purpose of theoretical work in the humanities and succeed in bridging critical and creative production. Contributors include Arthur Danto, Paul A. Bové, Bob Perelman, and Steve McCaffery.
Beyond the Bronze Pillars is an innovative and iconoclastic look at the politico-cultural relationship between Vietnam and China in the sixteenth to nineteenth centuries. Overturning the established view that historically the Vietnamese sought to maintain a separate cultural identity and engaged in tributary relations with the Middle Kingdom solely to avoid invasion, Liam Kelley shows how Vietnamese literati sought to unify their cultural practices with those in China while fully recognizing their country’s political subservience. He does so by examining a body of writings known as Vietnamese "envoy poetry." Far from advocating their own cultural distinctiveness, Vietnamese envoy poets expressed a profound identification with what we would now call the Sinitic world and their political status as vassals in it. In mining a body of rich primary sources that no Western historian has previously employed, Kelley provides startling insights into the pre-modern Vietnamese view of their world and its politico-cultural relationship with China.
ous le képi blanc ou le chapeau de brousse LA LEGION EST LEUR PATRIE La Légion est partout en Indochine : dans les rizières, dans la brousse des montagnes, dans les marécages du Sud. Par petits groupes les légionnaires tiennent des postes isolés. Au fond de l'Asie, chacune de ces unités a gardé ses traditions de l'Afrique romantique : le panache et la mélancolie ; les fêtes bruyantes et les combats jusqu'à la dernière cartouche. Dans les blockhaus, les hommes posent leur fusil à côtés de leurs mousquetaires. Au foyer on vend des boissons, des cigarettes et des cartes postales romanesques. Mais ont peut aussi y consulter le tableau des couchers et des levers de la lune. C'est lorsque celle-ci disparaît que le Viet choisit d'attaquer. Ces heures d'angoisse, où le légionnaire ne dort que d'un œil, où les patrouilles de sécurité se glissent au dehors à pas de chat, où chaque ombre est suspecte, inscrivent de nouvelles pages d'héroïsmes silencieux dans la légende des hommes sans nom. 13e demi-brigade de Légion étrangère (III/13e DBLE) Hommage aux combattants de Diên Biên Phu

This book focuses on the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and computational intelligence (CI) in medical and related applications. Applications include all aspects of medicine: from diagnostics (including analysis of medical images and medical data) to therapeutics (including drug design and radiotherapy) to epidemic- and pandemic-related public health policies. Corresponding techniques include machine learning (especially deep learning), techniques for processing expert knowledge (e.g., fuzzy techniques), and advanced techniques of applied mathematics (such as innovative probabilistic and graph-based techniques). The book also shows that these techniques can be used in many other applications areas, such as finance, transportation, physics. This book helps practitioners and researchers to learn more about AI and CI methods and their biomedical (and related) applications—and to further develop this important research direction.
This book attempts to reveal historical dynamism of transforming contemporary Maritime Asia and to identify key driving forces or agencies for the evolution and transformation of Maritime Asia in the context of global history studies. It seeks to accomplish these goals by connecting different experiences in Maritime Asia both historically from the late early-modern to the present and spatially covering both East and Southeast Asia. Focusing on interactions on and through oceans, seas, and islands, Maritime Asia can deal with any aspects of human society and the nature, including diplomacy, maritime trade, cultural exchange, identity and others. Its interest in supra-regional interactions and...
