Abstract This article compares the philosophical concept of dialogical existence of Martin Buber with the sociological one from Pierpaolo Donati, which put its focus on the phenomena of social relationship. After a short introduction in the discussion of the concept of dialogue in different sciences, the first paragraph will deal with the concept of “social relationship” by Pierpaolo Donati. It gives a short overview of its main statements, characteristics and its placing in the contemporary sociological discussion. The second chapter will present the basic ideas of the concept of “dialogical existence” from Martin Buber, showing his differentiation of various types of dialogue as well as the characteristics of the two basic relationships “I-THOU” and “I-IT”. The common points and the differences of these two concepts are presented in a third part. The outdrawn similarities leads to the conclusion that, even if both concepts are not concurrent, the “dialogical existence” can be seen as one form of “social relationship. The dialogical method of the Focolare Movement is presented in a forth part. It is a concrete example of how the “dialogical existence” can forge in a “social relationship” with special features and gives a glance on how the two concepts could be connected with each other. Connecting theories from different fields of research and concrete examples, this article wants to give a contribution to a wider discussion of the concept of dialogue.

With the development of smart terminal and smart phones, it is more and more conveniently that obtains the peoples locations and movements trajectory. Even though humans daily movement is free and random, we also can find some regular pattern and periodic movements in daily life. These regular movements and locations make up the daily life pattern. The interactions between two daily life pattern cause person-to-person social relation and effect its changing. So we can describe persons life pattern with location data and we also can describe and infer the relations. In this paper, we propose a new method to quantify and predict social relationship affinity with absolute location and approximation location data.

AbstractTheatre and law are not so different. Generally, researchers work on the art of theatre, the rhetoric of the actors, or the dramaturgy built from law cases or from the questions that the law does not completely resolve. Trials, tragedies, even comedies are close: everybody can see the interpenetration of them on stage and in the courts. We know that, and we know that the dramas are made with/from/of law, we know that the art the actors are developing is not so far from the art of the lawyers, and conversely. In this paper, I would like to have a look at the action of the audience, at the session itself and at the way the spectators are here to evaluate and judge not only the dramatic action, not only the art of the actors, not only the text of the author, but also the other spectators, and themselves too. In particular, I will focus on the “common judgment” of the audience and on its judicial, aesthetic and social relationship. The spectators have been undisciplined, noisy, unruled, during such a long period that theatre still retains some prints of this behaviour, even if nowadays, the social and aesthetic rule is to be silent. But uncertainty, inattention, distraction, contradiction, heterogeneity are the notions which characterise the session, and the judgments of the spectators still depend on them. So, what was and what is the voice of the audience? And with what sort of voice do spectators give their judgments?

In this study some of the basic ideas needed for the application of the Wiener-Hopf Technique in solving problems occurring in applied probability theory are discussed; the paper aims to give a short introduction. The method is illustrated by applying it to two problems; one, although basic in probability theory, is rather simple to handle by this method. The second is much more intricate, but shows clearly the power of the method.

From similar titles (Gespräch im Gebirg by Celan, “Gespräch in den Bergen” by Buber) to the common concern with engaging in dialogue with a “Thou,” the poetry of Paul Celan reveals strong affinities with the writings of Martin Buber. This originates in part with the common tradition of Hasidic Judaism from which both drew. But beyond this, Celan also owes a debt to Buber. His quest for a Thou, the underlying dialogical impulse, and the tone of the language of his poetry echo much that is found in Buber's work. Structurally, seventy-five percent of his poems address themselves to a Thou and try to effect an encounter with this object of address. But whereas Buber finds his Thou in God, for Celan there is often no respondent. He seeks through poetic language to establish or create an ultimate poetic reality of words, though in contrast to Buber his desperate attempt often fails. The large number of objects addressed as “Thou” in the internal landscape of Celan's poems confirms that essential reality can be perceived only through creative poetic dialogue, however anguished and inadequate. In this sense, Celan defies a dogma that proclaims modern poetry to be essentially monological, since a dialogical impulse underlies his entire work.

The history of the cult of Mahakala in Buryat Buddhism is considered. A short introduction to the history of the deity is presented. It is noted that this is one of the main patrons of the Geluk school, whose views and traditions have spread among the Buryats. A review of works containing the earliest information on the veneration of a deity in Buryat temples is carried out. It is reported that the cult of Mahakala in Buryatia is represented by the predominant veneration of its three forms: Six-armed, Four-faced and White Six-armed. The important role of the cult of Mahakala, which replaced the most revered shaman spirits-ongons in the common Mongolian world, is shown. It is reported that during the spread of Buddhism among the Buryats, the Sakyas direction with its main patron Gurgon Mahakala dominated among the Mongols. It is noted that, despite the Mongolian traditions, another — the Six-armed form of the deity — was established in Buryat Buddhism. The author believes that this is connected with the name of the first Pandito Khambo Lama Damba-Darzha Zayayev, who introduced veneration of this deity to Buryat Buddhism directly from Tibet and appointed him the patron of the first Buryat Buddhist temple. The conclusion is made about the significance of the Mahakala cult, which not only acquired great importance within the framework of its original religion, but also entered the system of shamanistic beliefs.

Connected by their mutual—if differentiated—veneration of the One God proclaimed by Abraham, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam compose a family of related traditions. The Abrahamic Religions: A Very Short Introduction explores their intertwined histories and the ways in which encounters among their adherents have helped construct their own independent religious identities from antiquity to the present. Those identities have not been fixed and static, but have rather reflected particular historical contexts. The political arrangements in which the religions emerged and intermingled—notably, their changing relationships to state power—have figured importantly in their development. The common heritages of the Abrahamic religions have both brought them together and divided them.

Reification, a central theme in radical social/political theory from the 1920s onward, has started falling out of fashion since the 1970s, a period when a number of crucial alterations in the composition of capital and labour start taking place, for example, the tendential hegemony of immaterial/biopolitical labour. The main goal of this article is to discuss reification in light of contemporary changes in the shape of capitalism such as the above. After discussing the relation between reification, alienation and commodity fetishism, I highlight, largely following Hardt and Negri, how reification under the hegemony of immaterial/biopolitical production is, on the one hand, intensified and, on the other hand, (potentially) easier to diagnose, diminish or overcome, due to the increasing emergence of the common as a social relation antagonistic to capital. The article concludes with a note on Wittgenstein and the critique of reification of the symbolic (language) and the ‘inner’ (affects) as the new extended terrain of struggle.

Software-Defined Networking proposes to fundamentally change the current practice of network control. The two basic ideas are Centralized State Control and Uniform Device Abstraction, which support the Software-Defined promise. SDN has made significant progress. The opportunities of SDN in carrier access networks have been largely ignored by both industry and academia. In access networks, Quality-of-Service (QoS) oriented bandwidth management is more critical; the flexible QoS provisioning could be the most important opportunity for SDN. In this position paper, the authors show that the unique characteristics of access networks pose significant challenges to the two basic ideas. Contrary to the common agreement on “match-action” abstraction, the authors argue that the object-oriented abstraction might be a better choice for access networks to make a better software-defined implementation.

The article examines some probable lines of refraction of N. Fyodorov’s ideas in the work of Russian greatest Silver age poet O. Mandelstam (1891–1938). Rus­sian thought was a special subject of attention for the poet, his philosophical reading included mainly works by Russian authors such as P. Chaadaev, the Slavophiles, K. Leontiev, V. Rozanov, V. Solovyov, P. Florensky, V. Ivanov, M. Gershenzon and others. It is proposed to analyze O. Mandelstam’s poetic cy­cle Poem on the Unknown Soldier (1937) containing direct references to N. Fe­dorov’s The Philosophy of the Common Task. Taking into account the poet’s con­sistent interest in Russian philosophical thought this allows a possibility of his acquaintance with writings of “Moscow Socrates”. The explication of Mandel­stam’s philosophical views is complicated by the modernist specificity of his po­etic text, which is saturated with a variety of ideological and semantic plans, open to various, often contradictory interpretations, while the correlation with a specific philosophical concept requires a certain unambiguity. On the other hand, the same peculiarity of Mandelstam’s poetics allows us to catch in the se­ries of meanings generated by it Fedorov’s intonations that filled the ideological atmosphere of time, to the “noise” of which the poet was exceptionally sensitive. The field of philosophy of history, time and memory is the predominant area of ideological intersections in the philosopher’s and poet’s heritage. Among other things their views are brought together by their adherence to a specific time con­cept, which was crystallized on the basis of Silver Age religious and philosophi­cal mentality and defined in current research by such concepts as “teleological causality”, “reverse causality”, “enantiodromia”
