Critical Understanding

Is Shakespeare universal? Is Hamlet a “strong” text that generates the same interpretation across cultural space and time, or is it a malleable text whose meaning is contingent upon variables in the encounter between text and reader and the contexts of reading? These were the kinds of questions that my students and I addressed in several courses I taught on Shakespeare over the past four years. As one might expect, our answers differed. Here, I develop and refine the argument I made and, sometimes, made incoherently: universality, whether in a writer, a text, or in criticism “is neither natural nor self-evident.” Because part of my reason for turning to Shakespeare was my dissatisfaction with contrapuntal reading as a pedagogical strategy for cultivating a “critical understanding of imperialism” in students, I conclude that we can only achieve that goal if we deploy contrapuntal reading across the literary curriculum.

This paper’s aim is the analysis of modern trends in design, and modern design influence on environment’s aesthetic space and art development. Trends in the fine art and design development at the example of traditional artworks have been considered in this paper. A design work is a thing of the wizard. All problems are due to real processes, which over the past decade literally alter the artwork’s essence and character. Invariably is the fact that the design carries a history and chronology of the ancient times’ art.

What remains of Yugoslavia? From the geopolitical space of Yugoslavia to the virtual space of the Web Yugosphere

This article works from the double hypothesis that: (1) a Yugoslav socio-cultural space still exists in spite of the dissolution of the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia; and (2) the communities ‘occupying’ this space can be considered, in some measure, ‘diasporic’, if the ‘Yugoslav diaspora’ is defined by not only the geographic displacement of people but also by the loosening of connections between members of an ex-nation who still consider themselves a national community. The ‘space’ mapped in the article is the so-called ‘virtual space’ of the Web, including all websites that reconnect to the ‘cultural languages’ of the ‘past-country’. The author observes how these ‘different Yugoslavias’ are ‘staged’ and linked together on the Web, and verifies how some far-flung communities rally around the ‘virtual re-foundation’ and ‘virtual representations’ of Yugoslavia. The corpus is constituted mainly of ‘yugonostalgic’ websites that are subjected to a content analysis. The 191 websites of the corpus and the hypertextual map of their edges are analysed using semantic features together with other tools of categorization.

Abstract The purpose of this paper is to survey the usefulness of cluster analysis in the special case of diagnoses. This complex topic is restricted, however, to the application on laboratory characteristics, separately or in connection with clinical data. The article is subdivided into three parts: (a) the fields of a possible use of cluster analysis, detection of diseases or subgroups of diseases, and data reduction by detection of structures; (b) a brief mathematical description of hierarchical and partitioning classification techniques (as a crucial point, the problems associated with these methods are discussed); (c) a critical review of 24 publications of the past 10 years concerning cluster analysis and diagnoses.

The Romantic Cave? The Scientific and Poetic Quests for Subterranean Spaces in Britain

The Sublime

In the ‘Golden Age’ of geology and Romanticism in Britain, the cave was constructed as a cultural space that served the young science as territory for new insights into prehistory and as icon of scientific enlightenment. However, British caves had a history in folklore that predated the onset of geological exploration, and some had long been inhabited by monsters or fairies. Moreover, antiquaries, fossil hunters, and even tourists shared the established geologists' interest in the underground. Conceiving of the cave as a many-layered political space, this article argues that several groups competed in the quest for this ‘new’ territory, among them those who strove for the power to read the past. The Romantic poets, building on literary, religious, and folkloristic traditions, turned the cave into a source for individual as well as societal change, exploring it as the realm of the ‘subconscious’. Questioning whether such an object as the Romantic cave existed, this article is interested in how different visitors experienced the underground—whether they shared the aesthetics of the sublime—and in how caves were constructed to serve alternative purposes.

AbstractIn the numerical approximation of fractional order derivatives, the crucial point is to balance the computing complexity and the computing accuracy. We proposed a piecewise memory principle for fractional derivatives, in which the past history is divided into several segments instead of discarded. The piecewise approximation is performed on each segment. Error estimation of piecewise memory principle is analyzed also. Numerical examples show that the contradiction of computing accuracy and complexity is effectively relaxed and the piecewise memory principle is superior to the existing short, variable and equal-weight memory principles. The impacts of the memory length, step size and segment size are also discussed.

Restoration Work

Rapid modernization has brought about massive changes in the urban and rural landscapes of China. While many old places and ancient buildings have been pulled down and replaced with more modern alternatives, others have been protected and restored. These include ancient ancestral temples, an important cultural space in China. Previous research has shown how different level governments and rural communities work together to restore ancient temples, but didn’t bring to light artistic and non-government financed and patronized cases of restoration projects. This article adopts a bottom-up perspective to examine a case in Guangzhou how an individual artist transforms an ancient ancestral temple into a new cultural space. Through an ethnographic-style exploration of the practice of restoration, we unfold the interconnections between an individual’s social memory of the past, their love of place, and their enthusiasm for restoration work. Differing from the government’s ‘standardized’ and functionalist restoration of ancestral temples, this case study shows an individual’s emotional and material devotion to transforming a neglected ancestral temple into an eclectic cultural space where the art works are a result of freedom of creative expression.

Need To Evaluate

Film and media practitioners and educators have been expanding the use of digital through new experiences with unusual and innovative technical and artistic “approaches.” Likewise, researchers and academics are questioning and analyzing these new practices that increasingly dominate global society, as seen in the past months with the advent of the worldwide pandemic. In 2013, we created the IFM-Interactive Film and Media Conference to provide an inclusive educational space within the digital theory and interactive studies where researchers and practitioners could discuss and present their research and work in film and media. With this purpose, the IFM has partnered with universities worldwide and established a space for a global integration between academia and the audiovisual production community that aims to forge a valuable exchange between researchers, faculty, students, practitioners, and the community. The goal is to generate a broad debate, emphasizing the need to evaluate the increasing use of digital screens in contemporary society and how people respond artistically, socially, and politically to the challenges of the digital cultural space. The work of professors, researchers, and practitioners (artists, filmmakers, and videomakers) from various areas and several countries, including Italy, Brazil, England, Spain, Canada, New Zealand, Portugal, Scotland, Germany, and the United States, constitutes this special issue with selected articles and audiovisuals from the #IFM2014. The aim is to launch IFM Journal first issues while archiving our preliminary works.
