Download or read book Concerning Stephen Willats and the Social Function of Art written by Sharon Irish and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-12-10 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book on Stephen Willats pulls together key strands of his practice and threads them through histories of British cybernetics, experimental art, and urban design. For Willats, a cluster of concepts about control and feedback within living and machine systems (cybernetics) offered a new means to make art relevant. For decades, Willats has built relationships through art with people in tower blocks, underground clubs, middle-class enclaves, and warehouses on the Isle of Dogs, to investigate their current conditions and future possibilities. Sharon Irish's study demonstrates the power of Willats's multi-media art to catalyze communication among participants and to upend ideas about “audience” and “art.” Here, Irish argues that it is artists like Willats who are now the instigators of social transformation.

Download or read book Facts and Values written by M.C. Doeser and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The answer to philosophical questions will often depend on the position one takes regarding the fact-value problem. It is, therefore, not surprising that, in the tradition of western philosophy, the past 200 years or so record an animated discussion of it. In the present collection the debate is continued by representatives of various "schools" in contemporary western thought. A number of philosophers from non-western cultures, too, enter into it. The contributions do not all reflect on the same theme, nor do they use the same approach. Essays written by philosophers sympathetic to the analytical tradition are followed by reflections on the part of those inspired by phe nomenology. A third group of contributions is by non-western thinkers, who are more likely to approach the problem in terms of culture. Their engage ment with the issue clearly shows, among other things, that it is almost exclusively in the western tradition that the fact-value distinction is often understood as an outright dichotomy. The occasion for the publication of this collection is Dr. Cornelis Anthonie van Peursen's retirement as Professor of Philosophy. This year he leaves the Free University, Amsterdam; until 1982 he was professor at the University of Leyden as well. In the Netherlands and beyond he has become known for his concern with constructive comparison of diverging philosophical trends and the cross-cultural fertilization of thought. Characteristic of his career are his efforts to render the results of academic philosophizing understand able to a broader audience.

Download or read book Birth Certificate and Through Life Management Documentation written by FIB – International Federation for Structural Concrete and published by FIB - International Federation for Structural Concrete. This book was released on 2020-06-01 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While it is generally accepted by owners and users that vehicles such as airplanes or cars must be subjected to a pre-defined maintenance plan during their lifetime, this is less obvious in public opinion for engineering structures and buildings. This may be related to the general feeling that “moving objects” should be more sensitive to aging and deterioration than “structures anchored in ground”! This may also relate to the fact that detailed maintenance manuals, which are considered obligatory by insurance companies, are generally for aircraft, boats and cars, but not systematically for civil engineering structures, except for iconic or major projects. The performance-based approach to the durability design and assessment of concrete structures is also becoming increasingly popular in the construction sector. In recent years, numerous studies have been carried out worldwide in order to better assess the expected properties related to the durability of concrete. This has led to the standardization of test protocols, but also to a better understanding of the main parameters impacting the overall durability of concrete. Documentation related to durability indicators will then become increasingly necessary for the accurate implementation of a performance-based approach that enables the promotion of sustainable materials. Durability models have a strong need for relevant in-field data feedback in order to define accurate inputs for modelling both during the design process (gathered from previous projects) and during the follow-up process to allow for re-calibration of inputs and re-assessment of durability expectations by the models if judged necessary. A framework for data collection was therefore considered extremely importance by the fib Commission 8: Durability, and is the objective of this fib Technical report “Birth-certificate and Through-Life Management Documentation”. It is indeed very important to collect relevant data within a comprehensive and standardized format, as now proposed by this fib Bulletin. Thanks to its pre-defined format, compatible with the general fib framework, “Birth-certificate and Through-Life Management Documentation” will definitively be useful to owners for the maintenance plan and intervention strategies of their assets. This operational technical report will also be very useful for designers, as it should encourage the collection of relevant information in databases to be used for future projects where a realistic assessment of expected properties is considered through largely similar concrete mix designs under given exposure conditions. The Commission, which deals with durability aspects, hopes that this Bulletin will provide users a valuable tool and perspective on service life management issues.

Download or read book Genetic diversity and human behavior written by James Norman Spuhler and published by Transaction Publishers. This book was released on with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Genetic differences in humans, like those between individuals of any animal or plant species and those between species, are all products of the evolutionary development of the living world. Th ese diff erences, with their behavioral consequences, can only be understood in the light of evolution. Our understanding of evolution, however, has itself evolved. Th e Darwin-Wallace theory of evolution appeared in the nineteenth century. Since then, development of evolutionary thought has gone through several stages. Th e contributions in this volume describe those stages. The first four decades after Darwin were dominated by studies in comparative anatomy, embryology, systematics, zoogeography, phytogeography, and paleontology, all intended to discover and examine the evidences of evolution. But the phylogenies of the animal and plant kingdoms, that is, the history of the linkages of animal and plant organisms as they change through time, were less well documented. In particular, the phylogeny of humans is still not completely known. The period following World War Two saw acceleration of activity in fi elds in and bordering on behavioral genetics. Research in neuroendocrinology showed that higher cortical centers could infl uence and be infl uenced by the hypothalamus, pituitary, thyroid, adrenals, and gonads. Genetic diversity in the function of these organs had obvious consequences for social and cultural behavior. Th e failure of some early and long-reinforced attempts at conditioning by students of comparative animal behavior showed species-specifi c innate behavior could not be ignored in any theory that attempts to combine psychology and anthropology. Th is classic volume summarizes the development of evolutionary thinking, and describes how what we know about genetic diversity links up with research on human behavior. J. N. Spuhler was known for his pioneering work in the department of anthropological genetics. He taught in many universities including Ohio State University, the University of Michigan, and the University of Mexico. He received the National Academy of Science award for scientific reviewing and his work has appeared in scholarly journals including: Journal of Anthropological Research, Annual Review of Anthropology, and American Journal of Physical Anthropology.
