Cultural Dimensions of the User
The concept of the user is not a well-established sociological concept even though the user is omnipresent in our culture as someone who uses a device, a machine, the internet or a public service. Due to the close relationship between man and technology user studies have become very important. The papers assembled in this volume were presented at the Vth International Conference on «The Culture of the Artificial» - The User of the Artificial (Ascona Switzerland, Monte Verità, 23-25 April 2004). They deal with various aspects of the figure of the user.
The Oxford Handbook of Archaeological Network Research
Network research has recently been adopted as one of the tools of the trade in archaeology, used to study a wide range of topics: interactions between island communities, movements through urban spaces, visibility in past landscapes, material culture similarity, exchange, and much more. This Handbook is the first authoritative reference work for archaeological network research, featuring current topical trends and covering the archaeological application of network methods and theories. This is elaborately demonstrated through substantive topics and case studies drawn from a breadth of periods and cultures in world archaeology. It highlights and further develops the unique contributions made by archaeological research to network science, especially concerning the development of spatial and material culture network methods and approaches to studying long-term network change. This is the go-to resource for students and scholars wishing to explore how network science can be applied in archaeology through an up-to-date overview of the field.
Luogos
Nella selva decadente della decaduta società moderna Luogos si propone come lampeggiante isola incorrotta che scruta il mondo vivo nella propria essenza e che abbraccia l'assenza di ciò che ci circonda nella buona pace dei nostri sensi. L'occhio di Luogos si ferma ovunque arrivi la Bellezza, nell'irreale universo onirico proiettato da parole o immagini di artisti e nel reale mondo che filosofi, storici, architetti e scienziati cercano di mostrarci. Noi siamo ciò che è e ciò che non è. Siamo il camussiano urlo degli uomini in faccia al loro destino. Abbiamo deciso di essere tutto ciò che è Cultura e abbiamo dato vita a un assetto ramificato in otto grandi sezioni: una di queste dedicata alla Scrittura, creativa e non, una dedicata all'Arte, una all'Architettura e al Design, una alla Fotografia, una a Filosofia, Storia e Psicologia, una alla Scienza e infine una allo Spettacolo.
Social Interaction in Animals: Linking Experimental Approach and Social Network Analysis
Understanding the link between individual behaviour and population organization and functioning has long been central to ecology and evolutionary biology. Behaviour is a response to intrinsic and extrinsic factors including individual state, ecological factors or social interactions. Within a group, each individual can be seen as part of a network of social interactions varying in strength, type and dynamic. The structure of this network can deeply impact the ecology and evolution of individuals, populations and species. Within a group social interactions can take many forms and may significantly affect an individual’s fitness. These interactions may result in complex systems at the group-...

A Companion to Giles of Rome
In A Companion to Giles of Rome, Charles Briggs, Peter Eardley, and seven other leading specialists provide the first synoptic treatment of the thought, works, life, and legacy of Giles of Rome (c. 1243/7–1316), one of medieval Europe’s most important and influential scholastic philosophers and theologians. The Giles that emerges from this volume was a subtle and independent thinker, who more than refining and modifying the positions of his teacher Aquinas, also made strikingly original contributions to theology, physics, metaphysics, psychology, ethics, logic, rhetoric, and political thought. He was also the founding intellectual of the Augustinian friars and a key participant in controversies at the University of Paris, and between Church and State. Contributors are: Charles F. Briggs, Richard Cross, Silvia Donati, Peter S. Eardley, Roberto Lambertini, Costantino Marmo, Martin Pickavé, Giorgio Pini, and Cecilia Trifogli.
The Human Network
It's not what you know, it's who you know. Or so the adage goes. Professor Matthew Jackson, world-leading researcher into social and economic networks, shows us why this is far truer than we'd like to believe. Based on his ground-breaking research, The Human Network reveals how our relationships in school, university, work and society have extraordinary implications throughout our lives and demonstrates that by understanding and taking advantage of these networks, we can boost our happiness, success and influence. But there are also wider lessons to be learnt. Drawing on concepts from economics, mathematics, sociology, and anthropology, Jackson reveals how the science of networks gives us a bold new framework to understand human interaction writ large - from banking crashes and viral marketing to racism and the spread of disease. Filled with counter-intuitive ideas that will enliven any dinner party - e.g. how can our popularity in school affect us for the rest of our lives? - The Human Network is a "big ideas" book that no one can afford to miss.
Life, Death and Representation
This volumepresents acollection of essays on different aspects of Roman sarcophagi. These varied approaches will produce fresh insights into a subject which is receiving increased interest in English-language scholarship, with a new awareness of the important contribution that sarcophagi can make to the study of the social use and production of Roman art. The book will therefore be a timely addition to existing literature. Metropolitan sarcophagi are the main focus of the volume, which will cover a wide time range from the first century AD to post classical periods (including early Christian sarcophagi and post-classical reception). Other papers will look at aspects of viewing and representation, iconography, and marble analysis. There will be an Introduction written by the co-editors.
Les Péripéties d'un primatologue
Primatologue, c’est un métier d’aventurier. Ce livre nous met face à face avec les singes, au cœur de leur vie sociale à l’ombre des forêts, mais aussi sur la piste d’autres animaux, comme la panthère des neiges, au plus profond de l’Himalaya. Cédric Sueur nous emmène bivouaquer dans des paysages sauvages d’Afrique du Sud, au Népal ou au Japon, à la rencontre des macaques, des babouins, des chimpanzés... Le chercheur ne manque ni de passion ni de patience pour étudier des singes parfois trop malins pour ses dispositifs d’expérience. Il lui faut du sang-froid pour faire face à un primate en colère sans se mettre à courir ! La sociologie et les sciences politiques...
