There is no end to the questions you can ask, and no end to the answers you can give. Where then, in this space of endless possibilities, can research begin; and how can researchers be expected to reach any consensus on what are useful question-answer-pairs? This present article recounts the story of Sigfried Giedion and Bruno Zevi. Space, Time and Architecture, a book printed at Harvard University ties the fates of the two Europeans. Giedion is the author, Zevi is a reader surrounded by a transatlantic group of followers. Initially a strong promoter of Giedion's book, Zevi later changed his mind and went on to propose his own, divergent theory of space and architecture. Zevi and Giedion's story of coming together and drifting apart is not unique. We all live in a world in which ideas spread and diversify as people search for questions and a myriad answers.

Time Continuum

In earlier articles an account has been given of some of the chief notions in the Organic Philosophy, namely Creativity, Actual Entities, Eternal Objects, God. In the present article the writer will endeavour to present Whitehead's doctrine concerning the space-time continuum and the nature of enduring objects implicated therein.

Multiple Integrals

In 1949 I published in the Acta Mathematica (vol. 81) a rather long paper: “L'intégrale de Riemann-Liouville et le problème de Cauchy.” This work will be quoted in the sequel as Acta paper. Only minor local references to this paper will be made here, and knowledge of it is not required for the reading of the present article. The notations used here are slightly different from those used in my former paper.In the Acta paper I introduce multiple integrals and of the Riemann- Liouville type depending on a parameter α and converging for sufficiently large values of α. I give the solution of the Cauchy problem for the wave equation in a unique formula, the same for space-time of odd or even dimensions, implying an analytic continuation with respect to the parameter α.

The Core

The present article aims at analysing the topic of children’s death in children’s books of the acknowledged authors: Astrid Lindgren’s The Brothers Lionheart and Vladislav Krapivin’s Alik the Striped Giraffe. The core of the research consists in the approach to the phenomenon of premature death as seen by both authors. The elements of the fictional universe, especially space, time and characters, in terms of constructing the particular approach to death and, by such, influencing the young reader are analysed. Moreover, the paper makes an attempt to interpret the plot as either taming the fear of the death or glorifying the life and objecting to the idea of death of children as a whole.

Plane Gravitational Waves

AbstractWe consider non-linear plane gravitational waves as propagating space-time defects, and construct the Burgers vector of the waves. In the context of classical continuum systems, the Burgers vector is a measure of the deformation of the medium, and at a microscopic (atomic) scale, it is a naturally quantized object. One purpose of the present article is ultimately to probe an alternative way on how to quantize plane gravitational waves.

As If

Abstract The starting point of the present article lies in a question posed by Raymond Federman in a well-known essay on Texts for Nothing: “What form can fiction take when it encounters everywhere nothing but verbal dust?” (Federman 2001: 161). Any critical description of this collection of Beckett’s short pieces points to the worn-out quality of the language, as if the process of negation had deeply affected style with the result of having a text in its final stages of decomposition, of being the remnants of a conscience in the process of dissolution. Apropos of a new translation into Spanish of Texts for Nothing / Textos para nada (2015), the author of the new version wants to reflect on the impossibility of translating words that seem to be so fragile and exhausted that the act of moving them to another language would necessarily entail the definitive shattering into pieces of an already thin fabric of words. The questions that will be addressed are related to the theoretical framework needed to handle this frail material: How can the translator negotiate the conflicting meaning of words without reinforcing its inconsistency even further? By which mechanisms can a translator of Texts for Nothing support his/her work considering, in the words of Hannelore Fahrenback and John Fletcher, “the ghostly dimension of space/time inhabited by this disembodied voice”? (Fahrenback and Fletcher 1976)
