A detailed critical examination of the concept of noise, its significance in scientific disciplines, and its use and misuse in the humanities and sonic arts.
In this wide-ranging inquiry, Inigo Wilkins elaborates the theoretical and practical significance of the concept of noise with regard to current debates concerning realism, materialism, and rationality. Drawing on contemporary scientific thinking, Wilkins develops a multilevel analysis of noise, exploring the associated notions of randomness and unpredictability across different disciplinary contexts.
Wilkins articulates noise within a functionalist-computationalist philosophical framework that follows Wilfrid Sellars's inferentialist account of reason through his commentaries on Hume and Kant. Outlining the significance of noise to information theory and cybernetics, its relation to thermodynamics, dynamic systems theory, evolutionary biology, and complexity theory, and to recent theories in cognitive science and AI, he goes on to examine how randomness and noise are pertinent to political economy and contemporary finance. Finally, Wilkins explores noise in its specifically sonic guise, looking in particular at the phenomenology of listening and neurophenomenological models of auditory cognition, and situating the use of noise in experimental and popular music within a deep historical account of its evolutionary development.
The central aim of this pioneering critical work is to demystify noise--to counter the neoliberal politics of self-organizing systems and the tendency to fetishize indeterminacy in contemporary art--by showing how constrained randomness is intrinsic to the functional organization of complex hierarchically nested systems, including higher cognition, and how the navigation of noise is a necessary condition of reason and consequently of freedom.
Автор: Javaloyes Inigo Название: Yo, Heliaca: La Odisea de Un Aguila Imperial ISBN: 0997575905 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780997575903 Издательство: Неизвестно Цена: 17190.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: Esta novela narra la historia de Heliaca, un aguila imperial nacida en una torre de alta tension en el Monte del Pardo, a tiro de piedra de Madrid. Esta inspirada en un ejemplar especifico de esta especie, la mas amenazada y simbolica de los cielos de Espana. En parte fabula y alegoria, esta historia es tambien el manifiesto singular de un aguila imaginada a quien acompanan urracas, halcones y azores. El autor se nutre de sus experiencias de campo para escribir esta narracion ritmica, rica en aliteraciones y palindromos, donde las aves observan a los humanos con horror e impotencia. Poco despues de nacer Heliaca, su padre, el legendario Gran Adalberti, desaparece sin dejar rastro. Heliaca se obstina en la idea de que su padre vive y esta -alla por donde pasan las aguilas-. El recuerdo del padre desaparecido acompanara a Heliaca en su azaroso campeo por las dehesas aguileras de Espana, donde nuestra heroina tendra mentores y enemigos, y descubrira la amistad, el amor y el aguijon punzante de la verguenza.
Автор: Inigo Alvarez, Ada Vargas Название: Latinos in the 21st Century: Their Voices and Lived Experiences ISBN: 1536130745 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781536130744 Издательство: Nova Science Рейтинг: Цена: 83410.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: Latinos in the 21st Century: Their Voices and Lived Experiences opens with the presentation of a study consisting of written surveys, focus groups, and individual interviews with 58 men and women who were seeking employment through the Malibu Community Labor Exchange (MCLE) at the time of the study and were predominantly Hispanic immigrants. A central aim of this study is to develop an understanding of how Spanish-speaking Hispanic immigrant day laborers have fared financially in the aftermath of the economic crisis of 2007-2008, while also providing insights on the important role that a labor exchange, such as the MCLE, plays in the financial wellbeing of Hispanic immigrant workers. Additionally, the use of a narrative approach to facilitating therapeutic conversations as a model for understanding and empowering Latinas and their lived experiences. The resiliency and strengths of Latina immigrants in adapting and coping with resettlement in a new country are also addressed. Next, the authors present an analysis usiung 2015 American Community Survey data to explore the determinants of homeownership among Cuban-Americans in the U.S. Homeownership is an important wealth-generating mechanism and access to it can determine the future socio-economic standing of the second generation and beyond. Drawing insights from the literatures on systemic racism and assimilation, this analysis tests two competing theories of homeownership stratification among Cuban-Americans. The final chapter focuses on the Latino migrant worker experience in the United States and its impact on their living conditions. Latino migrant workers (LMWs) constitute a paradigmatic case of a population subject to structural vulnerability. The authors argue that the dysfunctional U.S. immigration system creates a system of structural vulnerability which generates precarious circumstances in LMWs everyday lives and health status.
