Download or read book Mathematics and Information in the Philosophy of Michel Serres written by Vera Bühlmann and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-02-20 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces the reader to Serres' unique manner of 'doing philosophy' that can be traced throughout his entire oeuvre: namely as a novel manner of bearing witness. It explores how Serres takes note of a range of epistemologically unsettling situations, which he understands as arising from the short-circuit of a proprietary notion of capital with a praxis of science that commits itself to a form of reasoning which privileges the most direct path (simple method) in order to expend minimal efforts while pursuing maximal efficiency. In Serres' universal economy, value is considered as a function of rarity, not as a stock of resources. This book demonstrates how Michel Serres has developed an architectonics that is coefficient with nature. Mathematic and Information in the Philosophy of Michel Serres acquaints the reader with Serres' monist manner of addressing the universality and the power of knowledge – that is at once also the anonymous and empty faculty of incandescent, inventive thought. The chapters of the book demarcate, problematize and contextualize some of the epistemologically unsettling situations Serres addresses, whilst also examining the particular manner in which he responds to and converses with these situations.

Download or read book Signs and Designs written by Jean H. Duffy and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 2003-01-01 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the course of a writing career spanning half a century, Michel Butor has produced a remarkable range and volume of publications, including fiction, travel works, poetry, critical essays and various types of mixed-genre works which resist ready categorization. Much of this very diverse oeuvre is marked by his life-long passion for the visual arts. This study is the first full-length analysis of the role played by the references to the visual, plastic and architectural arts in Butor’s work. It addresses a wide range of issues including the role of the artwork, building or monument as narrative generator; the reflexive functions of the visual and architectural references; the interaction between visual/architectural references and intertextual citation; the role of collaboration in Butor’s oeuvre; the relationship between cultural baggage and the workings of the unconscious; the tension between Butor’s fascination for non-European artistic traditions and his continuing dialogue with the Western tradition.
Download or read book Negotiating the Livelihoods of Children and Youth in Africa s Urban Spaces written by Michael Bourdillon and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2012-09-28 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book deals with problems facing children and youth in African cities today. African populations have high growth rates and, consequently, relatively high proportions of young people. Population growth in rural areas has stretched resources leading to urban migration and a rapid growth of cities. Economies have not grown apace with the population; and in some countries, economies have even shrunk. The result is a severe lack of resources in cities to meet the needs of the growing populations, shown in high unemployment, inadequate housing, poor services, and often extreme poverty. All the essays in this book draw attention to such urban environments, in which children and youth have to live and survive. The title of this book speaks of negotiating livelihoods. The concept of ‘livelihood’ has been adopted to incorporate the social and physical environment together with people’s responses to it. It considers not only material, but also human and social resources, including local knowledge and understanding. It, thus, considers the material means for living in a broader context of social and cultural interpretation. It, therefore, does not deal only with material and economic existence, but also with leisure activities, entertainments and other social forms of life developed by young people in response to the dictates of the environment. The book contains country-specific case studies of the problems faced by youths in many African cities, how they develop means to solve them, and the various creative ways through which they improve their status, both economically and socially, in the different urban spaces. It recognizes the potentials of young people in taking control of their lives within the constraints imposed upon them by the society. This book is a valuable contribution to the field of child and youth development, and a useful tool for parents, teachers, academics, researchers as well as government and non-government development agencies.

Download or read book valuations nationales des acquis scolaires Volume 3 written by Vincent Greaney and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2015-07-02 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La mise en oeuvre réussie d'une évaluation nationale des acquis scolaires est une tâche complexe requérant des connaissances, des compétences, et des ressources considérables. Les retombées des évaluations nationales correctement réalisées peuvent être substantielles en termes de qualité de l'information fournie sur les niveaux de performance des élèves ainsi que sur les facteurs, scolaires ou non, susceptibles de contribuer à les améliorer. Inversement, le « coût » d'une évaluation nationale mal réalisée peut être une information inexacte sur les niveaux de performance des élèves et les facteurs associés. Une mise en œuvre de qualité peut accroître la confiance des responsables des politiques et des autres parties prenantes dans la validité des constatations de l'évaluation. Elle peut également augmenter la probabilité d'utilisation des résultats de l'évaluation nationale pour mettre au point de solides plans et programmes en vue d'améliorer la qualité de l'enseignement et le rendement de l'apprentissage des élèves. Troisième volume d'une série de cinq, Mettre en œuvre une évaluation nationale des acquis scolaires, se concentre sur les tâches pratiques requises par la mise en oeuvre d'une évaluation nationale à grande échelle. Ce manuel fournit des instructions détaillées étape par étape sur la logistique, l'échantillonnage, la préparation et la gestion des données, ainsi que l'analyse. Les lecteurs sont guidés à travers les différentes étapes de l'échantillonnage en travaillant sur un ensemble de tâches concrètes présentées dans le texte et en utilisant les fichiers de données fournis dans le CD d'accompagnement. Ce volume est principalement destiné aux équipes chargées de conduire une évaluation nationale dans des pays en développement et émergents.

Download or read book Paul L vy and Maurice Fr chet written by Marc Barbut and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-29 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fascinating correspondence between Paul Lévy and Maurice Fréchet spans an extremely active period in French mathematics during the twentieth century. The letters of these two Frenchmen show their vicissitudes of research and passionate enthusiasm for the emerging field of modern probability theory. The letters cover various topics of mathematical importance including academic careers and professional travels, issues concerning students and committees, and the difficulties both mathematicians met to be elected to the Paris Academy of Sciences. The technical questions that occupied Lévy and Fréchet on almost a daily basis are the primary focus of these letters, which are charged with elation, frustration and humour. Their mathematical victories and setbacks unfolded against the dramatic backdrop of the two World Wars and the occupation of France, during which Lévy was obliged to go into hiding. The clear and persistent desire of these mathematicians to continue their work whatever the circumstance testifies to the enlightened spirit of their discipline which was persistent against all odds. The book contains a detailed and comprehensive introduction to the central topics of the correspondence. The original text of the letters is also annotated by numerous footnotes for helpful guidance. Paul Lévy and Maurice Fréchet will be useful to anybody interested in the history of mathematics in the twentieth century and, in particular, the birth of modern probab ility theory.
