Abstract:

This text is dedicated to the development of the general theory of geopolitics as a scientific discipline. The author discusses what geopolitics is, as well as its content and methodology, and investigates the principles of geopolitical zoning and modelling, the content and essence of geopolitical relations, geographical and geopolitical spaces, geopolitical thinking and geopolitical idealised models. Activity-geospatial and geo-adaptation approaches are utilised while considering geopolitical phenomena. The first focuses attention on the geopolitical relations existing between political activ

Abstract:

The monograph is devoted to the fundamental aspects of geometric algebra and closely related issues. The category of Clifford algebras is considered as the conjugate category of vector spaces with a quadratic form. Possible constructions in this category and internal algebraic operations of an algebra with a geometric interpretation are studied. An application to the differential geometry of a Euclidean manifold based on a shape tensor is included. We consider products, coproducts and tensor products in the category of associative algebras with application to the decomposition of Cliffor

Abstract:

The author's mask is one of the most important signs of literary consciousness from antiquity to the present, it becomes a synthesis of the author's self-expression and his transformation from a "real" figure into an artistic image functioning within the text space.  The monograph examines the author's mask as one of the most important elements of the author's strategy. Russian Russian authors comprehend the place of the author's mask in the structure of the author's consciousness in the process of the formation of the institution of authorship, and also study the tradition of using the

Abstract:

After WWII, cinema was everywhere: in movie theatres, public squares, factories, schools, trial courts, trains, museums, and political meetings. Seen today, documentaries and newsreels, as well as the amateur production, show the kaleidoscopic portrait of a changing Europe. How did these cinematic images contribute to shaping the new societies emerging from the ashes of war, both in the Western and in the Eastern bloc? Why were they so crucial in framing and regulating new places and practices, political systems, economic dynamics, educational frameworks, and memory communities? This edited vo

Abstract:

Joachim Lambek had a longstanding interest in the use of quaternions as a tool for explaining fundamental aspects of special relativity, dating from his days as a doctoral student to the end of his career. It is known (since the beginning of the twentieth century) that many areas of theoretical physics may be represented by quaternions with complex coefficients (so called “biquaternions”). This posthumous chapter illustrates how time may (or even should) be represented by three dimensions, so that space–time is represented by a six-dimensional Lorentz category (three space coordinates and thre

I review some recent work on applications of category theory to questions concerning theoretical structure and theoretical equivalence of classical field theories, including Newtonian gravitation, general relativity, and Yang–Mills theories.

Chapter 3 examines the neutralized cinema in the era of widescreen, from 1950 to 1960. While most histories of widescreen focus on participation, I argue that presence formulated an additional exhibition category. In this way, widescreen was at times figured as a process of mental rather than bodily immersion. Such a description further distanced film from television at a crucial historical juncture and insisted on the removal of vestigial live theater attributes such as the proscenium arch.

Abstract:

This chapter demonstrates how the topic of Southeast Asian historiography divides itself into three fairly distinct categories that progress through this period. First, there was the epigraphy, — materials carved mainly into stone (but also metal). These were the main surviving forms of writing for almost all the classical polities that emerged in the region from the seventh century on. The second category consisted of writings on paper (or other materials like palm leaves) from the royal courts of two specific regions, eastern Java and northern Vietnam, during the eleventh through the fourtee

Abstract:

Spherical objects — motivated by considerations in the context of mirror symmetry — are used to construct special autoequivalences. Their action on cohomology can be described precisely, considering more than one spherical object often leads to complicated (braid) groups acting on the derived category. The results related to Beilinson are almost classical. Section 3 of this chapter gives an account of the Beilinson spectral sequence and how it is used to deduce a complete description of the derived category of the projective space. This will use the language of exceptional sequences and semi-o

Abstract:

This book presents a theory of enriched meanings for natural language interpretation. Certain expressions that exhibit complex effects at the semantics/pragmatics boundary live in an enriched meaning space while others live in a more basic meaning space. These basic meanings are mapped to enriched meanings just when required compositionally, which avoids generalizing meanings to the worst case. The theory is captured formally using monads, a concept from category theory. Monads are also prominent in functional programming and have been successfully used in the semantics of programming language

In Cistem Failure Marquis Bey meditates on the antagonistic relationship between blackness and cisgender. Bey asks, What does it mean to have a gender that “matches” one’s sex---that is, to be cisgender---when decades of feminist theory have destroyed the belief that there is some natural way to be a sex? Moving from the The Powerpuff Girls to the greeting “How ya mama’n’em?” to their own gender identity, Bey finds that cisgender is too flat as a category to hold the myriad ways that people who may or may not have undergone gender-affirmative interventions depart from gender alignment.

Indeed, icons are powerful devices that operate in terms of an extended apparatus of iterations that shuttle aura across space and time in traffic with what matters. The icon enchants by pledging

The theorem, due to Michael Freedman, underpins virtually all of our understanding of 4-manifolds in the topological category.

Combined with the concurrent work of Simon Donaldson, the theorem reveals a remarkable disparity between the topological and smooth categories for 4-manifolds. A thorough exposition of Freedman’s proof of the disc embedding theorem is given, with many new details. A self-contained account o

The concept of a code, heavy laden with modern meaning, is not well suited as a historiographical category for interpreting the reality of Roman law. The risk of anachronism is increased by the fact that the modern ideology of codification has not only drawn on ancient catchwords (in particular from the constitutions to Justinian’s enactments), but has also altered their meaning. The Romans were no less aware of the need to organise and render accessible the law and responded to this need in different ways depending upon the particular epoch (from the XII Tables to Justinian).

Much of western philosophy, especially ancient Greek philosophy, addresses the problems posed by embodiment.

Heterology is the logic that posits the Other as radically other, in contrast to a conception of the relationship with the Other based on the category of analogy.

Abstract:

This book investigates the post-revolutionary rituals and discourses of enchantment, a category of mystical experience uniquely capable of producing new forms of popular power and social affiliation. American Enchantment views this phenomenon as a response to a signature problem in post-revolutionary culture: how to represent the people in the absence of the king’s body and other traditional monarchical forms. In the early United States, this absence inaugurates new attempts to conjure the people and to reconstruct the symbolic order. For many in this era, these efforts converge on enchantment
