Logic of Arithmetic

For propositional logic it can be decided whether a formula has a deduction from a finite set of other formulas. This volume begins with a method to decide this for the quantified formulas of those fragments of arithmetic which express the properties of order-plus-successor and of order-plus-addition (Pressburger arithmetic). It makes use of an algorithm eliminating quantifiers which in turn is also applied to obtain consistency proofs for these fragments. | Logic of Arithmetic

Forensic Storytelling and the Literary Roots of Early Modern Feminism ReSisters

The writing of letters and the rise of the novel provided a way for some women to express themselves at a time when the all-male French Academy defined the very parameters of French literary acceptability and tradition. Women who were consigned to convents workhouses or prisons were in most respects deprived of agency yet many found ways to respond to the legal documents served against them. The letters and associated materials preserved in their legal files provide evidence that these women did not remain quiet as they found means to resist authority. The forensic storytelling examined in this book supports the conclusion that the documents written in these constrained circumstances have both historical and literary merit and form the core of an understudied genre of literature. | Forensic Storytelling and the Literary Roots of Early Modern Feminism ReSisters

Perceiving Acting and Knowing Toward an Ecological Psychology

Originally published in 1977 the chapters in this volume derive from a conference on Perceiving Acting and Knowing held by the Center for Research in Human Learning at the University of Minnesota in 1973. The volume was intended to appeal not just to the specialist or the novice but to anyone sufficiently interested in psychology to have obtained a sense of its history at the time. Through these essays the authors express a collective attitude that a careful scrutiny of the fundamental tenets of contemporary psychology may be needed. In some essays specific faults in the foundations of an area are discussed and suggestions are made for remedying them. In other essays the authors flirt with more radical solutions namely beginning from new foundations altogether. Although the authors do not present a monolithic viewpoint a careful reading of all their essays under one cover reveals a glimpse of a new framework by which theory and research may be guided. | Perceiving Acting and Knowing Toward an Ecological Psychology

Computational Engineering of Historical Memories With a Showcase on Afro-Eurasia (ca 1100-1500 CE)

Nanetti outlines a methodology for deploying artificial intelligence and machine learning to enhance historical research. Historical events are the treasure of human experiences the heritage that societies have used to remain resilient and express their identities. Nanetti has created and developed an interdisciplinary methodology supported by practice-based research that serves as a pathway between historical and computer sciences to design and build computational structures that analyse how societies create narratives about historical events. This consilience pathway aims to make historical memory machine-understandable. It turns history into a computational discipline through an interdisciplinary blend of philological accuracy historical scholarship history-based media projects and computational tools. Nanetti presents the theory behind this methodology from a humanities perspective and discusses its practical application in user interface and experience. An essential read for historians and scholars working in the digital humanities. | Computational Engineering of Historical Memories With a Showcase on Afro-Eurasia (ca 1100-1500 CE)

Toward Multimodal Pragmatics A Study of Illocutionary Force in Chinese Situated Discourse

Classic pragmatic theories emphasize the linguistic aspect of illocutionary acts and forces. However as multimodality has gained importance and popularity multimodal pragmatics has quickly become a frontier of pragmatic studies. This book adds to this new research trend by offering a perspective of situated discourse in the Chinese context. Using the multimodal corpus approach this study examines how speakers use multiple devices to perform illocutionary acts and express illocutionary forces. Not only does the author use qualitative analysis to study the types characteristics and emergence patterns of illocutionary forces he also performs a quantitative corpus-based analysis of the interaction of illocutionary forces emotions prosody and gestures. The results show that illocutionary forces are multimodal in nature while meaning in discourse is created through an interplay of an array of modalities. Students and scholars of pragmatics corpus linguistics and Chinese linguistics will benefit from this title. | Toward Multimodal Pragmatics A Study of Illocutionary Force in Chinese Situated Discourse

Critical Security Democratisation and Television in Taiwan

This title was first published in 2001. By examining the way the ruling Nationalist Party (KMT) dominated Taiwan’s three mainstream television stations before the introduction of political reform in the mid-1980s the book provides an insightful investigation of how the media can be used as an instrument of both political power and emancipation. This new approach challenges many accepted assumptions about Taiwan’s political development such as the sacrifice of democracy for stability and wealth and recognizes that threats to society often originate within the state itself rather than from external forces. However the development of public television also broadened the political agenda allowing the Taiwanese population to express its will through collective activities and to exercise the power of (civil) society. Taiwan is an exciting case study with which to explore the post-Cold War understanding of Critical Security. A fascinating look at one of the world’s most rapidly developing nations this book makes a striking contribution to a fresh area of political thought. | Critical Security Democratisation and Television in Taiwan

The American Civil War in the Shaping of British Democracy

When the American Civil War broke out in 1861 a central question for British intellectuals was whether or not the American conflict was proof of the viability of democracy as a foundation for modern governance. The lessons of the American Civil War for Britain would remain a focal point in the debate on democracy throughout the war up to the suffrage reform of 1867 and after. Brent E. Kinser considers four figures connected by Woodrow Wilson's concept of the Literary Politician a person who while possessing a profound knowledge of politics combined with an equally acute literary ability to express that knowledge escapes the practical drudgeries of policy making. Kinser argues that the animosity of Thomas Carlyle towards democracy the rhetorical strategy of Anthony Trollope's North America the centrality of the American war in Walter Bagehot's vision of British governance and the political philosophy of John Stuart Mill illustrate the American conflict's vital presence in the debates leading up to the 1867 reform a legislative event that helped to secure democracy's place in the British political system. | The American Civil War in the Shaping of British Democracy

Silkworm Biofactory Silk to Biology

While silk derived from silkworm has been of economic importance for centuries more recently silkworm has been found to have utility in biomedicine. This has attracted attention for expressing eukaryotic recombinant proteins which require post-translational modifications. In 1985 Dr. Susumu Maeda demonstrated that silkworm larvae could produce a functional human-interferon. Since then various techniques have been developed to express recombinant proteins in silkworm. With the development of the Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) bacmid system which is capable of replicating in both Escherichia coli and Bombyx mori derived cell lines or silkworm silkworm larvae or pupae have been used for the expression system for recombinant protein production. This method has the advantage of a bacmid in that it can be easily prepared for sufficient bacmid DNA for subsequent expression in silkworm. It is potentially a big breakthrough in production of recombinant eukaryotic proteins and viruses which will be a powerful tool in a new proteome era. This volume contributes to the advancement of our knowledge in the subject for example gene expression systems and silkworm research and focuses on silkworm biofactories for the recombinant protein production and commercial applications of proteins. | Silkworm Biofactory Silk to Biology

Government Action and Morality Some Principles and Concepts of Liberal-Deomocracy

This book was first published in 1964. Everything in politics has changed since then why a reprint? Because moral criticisms of governments haven’t changed. Indeed historical comparison suggests a disconcerting similarity. We still accept a liberal-democratic morality and politics and believe that it is individuals who bear moral responsibility. How can we reconcile the corporate actions of governments with individual responsibility? Is the private life of politicians relevant to their official actions? Should politicians resign if they disagree with government policy? These problems are still with us and the 1964 discussion of them remains illuminating. We elect governments to further our material interests but we also believe that they should express our moral ideals for example by providing vaccines alleviating poverty or supporting oppressed countries. Are moral ideals consistent with political realism? The book reconciles these apparently opposed positions by introducing the concept of governments as ‘moral intermediaries. ’ The reconciliation develops liberal-democracy in a way that will interest political theorists. As a whole the book offers a readable discussion of the many ways in which morality has a bearing on government action and it captures and analyses contemporary political and moral aspirations. | Government Action and Morality Some Principles and Concepts of Liberal-Deomocracy

The Symbolist Roots of Modern Art

With the words ’A new manifestation of art was . expected necessary inevitable ’ Jean Moréas announced the advent of the Symbolist movement in 1886. When Symbolist artists began experimenting in order to invent new visual languages appropriate for representing modern life in all its complexity they set the stage for innovation in twentieth-century art. Rejecting what they perceived as the superficial descriptive quality of Impressionism Naturalism and Realism Symbolist artists delved beneath the surface to express feelings ideas scientific processes and universal truths. By privileging intangible concepts over perceived realities and by asserting their creative autonomy Symbolist artists broke with the past and paved the way for the heterogeneity and penchant for risk-taking that characterizes modern art. The essays collected here which consider artists from France to Russia and Finland to Greece argue persuasively that Symbolist approaches to content form and subject helped to shape twentieth-century Modernism. Well-known figures such as Kandinsky Khnopff Matisse and Munch are considered alongside lesser-known artists such as Fini Gyzis Koen and Vrubel in order to demonstrate that Symbolist art did not constitute an isolated moment of wild experimentation but rather an inspirational point of departure for twentieth-century developments. | The Symbolist Roots of Modern Art

Politics in The Gambia and Guinea-Bissau Precolonial Influence on the Postcolonial State

This book explores how precolonial political traditions and practices shape modern-day politics in The Gambia and Guinea-Bissau. The precolonial Kaabu empire dominated the region for over 300 years leaving a rich oral and ritual culture that emphasized the importance of a ruler’s legitimacy among the general population. This book traces how postcolonial political administrations and Justice Integrity and Truth (JIT) movements have mobilized to reclaim reinvent and subvert traditional Kabunka norms of statecraft to prove their political legitimacy. It shows how cultural memory oral arts and musical forms can be used to express ideals of leadership and followership and in the process create various conversations and debates about politics and society social attitudes and morality. In doing so the book captures how the latent but influential social and political practices from Kaabu are reclaimed reproduced or subverted to contribute to the evolving nature of political rhetoric in these two countries. Whereas many studies of the state in Africa take Western democratic principles as a starting point this book provides important evidence on the continuity of precolonial political culture along African’s west coast. It will be of interest to researchers studying politics history and anthropology both within the region and elsewhere in Africa. | Politics in The Gambia and Guinea-Bissau Precolonial Influence on the Postcolonial State

Chanson The French Singer-Songwriter from Aristide Bruant to the Present Day

’En France tout finit par des chansons’ is the well-known phrase which sums up the importance of chanson for the French. A song tradition that goes back to the Middle Ages and troubadours of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries chanson is part of the texture of everyday life in France - a part of the national identity and a barometer of popular taste. In this first study of chanson in English Peter Hawkins examines the background to the genre and the difficulties in defining what is and what is not chanson. The focus then moves to the development of the singer-songwriter of chanson from 1880 to the present day. This period saw the emergence of national icons from Aristide Bruant at the end of the nineteenth century through to internationally recognized musicians such as Jacques Brel and Serge Gainsbourg. Each of these figures used chanson to express the particular moral dilemmas tragic situations and moments of euphoria particular to themselves and their times. The book provides bibliographies discographies and details of video recordings for each of the singer-songwriters that it discusses. It is both an essential reference guide to the genre and a useful case history of the adaptation of an ancient form to the demands of the modern mass media. | Chanson The French Singer-Songwriter from Aristide Bruant to the Present Day
