Download or read book The Quantum Mechanics Conundrum written by Gennaro Auletta and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-08-17 with total page 863 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive volume gives a balanced and systematic treatment of both the interpretation and the mathematical-conceptual foundations of quantum mechanics. It is written in a pedagogical style and addresses many thorny problems of fundamental physics. The first aspect concerns Interpretation. The author raises the central problems: formalism, measurement, non-locality, and causality. The main positions on these subjects are presented and critically analysed. The aim is to show that the main schools can converge on a core interpretation. The second aspect concerns Foundations. Here it is shown that the whole theory can be grounded on information theory. The distinction between information and signal leads us to integrating quantum mechanics and relativity. Category theory is presented and its significance for quantum information shown; the logic and epistemological bases of the theory are assessed. Of relevance to all physicists and philosophers with an interest in quantum theory and its foundations, this book is destined to become a classic work.
Download or read book Questions of Third Cinema written by Jim Pines and published by British Film Institute. This book was released on 1989 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is there an international film language? Are national, ethnic and cultural differences in how films are made and understood merely differences of dialect? Such questions have been increasingly debated in recent years with the emergence of the idea of a Third Cinema, which means not simply the films made by the so-called Third World countries, but any cinema which offers a radical challenge to entrenched Western notions of what the cinema is. In a wide-ranging series of essays, this book extends the debate about Third Cinema—in Britain and the United States as well as in Africa and Asia—and offers a provocative analysis of the political problems and aesthetic possibilities of a different kind of film-making.
Download or read book Mestizaje Upside Down written by Javier Sanjinés C. and published by University of Pittsburgh Pre. This book was released on 2010-06-15 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mestizaje—the process of cultural, ethnic, and racial mixing of Spanish and indigenous peoples—has been central to the creation of modern national identity in Bolivia and much of Latin America. Though it originally carried negative connotations, by the early twentieth century it had come to symbolize a national unity that transcended racial divides.Javier Sanjines C. contends that mestizaje, rather than a merging of equals, represents a fundamentally Western perspective that excludes indigenous ways of viewing the world. In this sophisticated study he reveals how modernity in Bolivia has depended on a perception, forged during the colonial era, that local cultures need to be uplifted. Sanjines traces the rise of mestizaje as a defining feature of Bolivian modernism through the political struggles and upheavals of the twentieth century. He then turns this concept upside-down by revealing how the dominant discussion of mestizaje has been resisted and transformed by indigenous thinkers and activists. Rather than focusing solely on political events, Sanjines grounds his argument in an examination of fiction, political essays, journalism, and visual art, offering a unique and masterly overview of Bolivian culture, identity, and politics.
