By redefining the notion of fragmentarity and existing theoretical conceptions, from romantic fascination with ruins to the contemporary position of variability, the paper places incompleteness as the essential potentiality of form, imagination and contingency in a way that opens new spacetime categories. In the paper, fragmentation is understood as a model for interpreting reality and for examining the capacity of architectural incompleteness. Setting complexity as the context, change as the method and variability as the model for understanding the architectural contemporaries within its reality, spatial and temporal uncertainty become characteristics of the fragmentation and destabilization of relations - their reflection. This way of structuring order out of chaos, or destabilizing order for the purpose of new structures, is the complexity of a higher order. The uncaptured nature of all things, in distracting the new, transports its own limitations, thematized through places of change, separation and path - specific singularities, allowing flexibility through imperfection. The elusive nature of all things, in opening to the new, transcends its own limitations, thematizing itself through places of change, separation and cracking. These are specific singularities that allow flexibility through incompleteness, thus opening up towards new forms of reality, between uncertainty and indeterminacy - in the zone of their overlap, space and time become fragmented. This true spontaneity is the greatest complexity that carries within itself the power of change and essential potentiality - a meaning that is always just emerging. The question of the degree of incompleteness is in the core of the concept of openness, in which the alteration of form and geometry take place.

AbstractWe study the evolution of networks through ‘triplets’—three-node graphlets. We develop a method to compute a transition matrix to describe the evolution of triplets in temporal networks. To identify the importance of higher-order interactions in the evolution of networks, we compare both artificial and real-world data to a model based on pairwise interactions only. The significant differences between the computed matrix and the calculated matrix from the fitted parameters demonstrate that non-pairwise interactions exist for various real-world systems in space and time, such as our data sets. Furthermore, this also reveals that different patterns of higher-order interaction are involved in different real-world situations. To test our approach, we then use these transition matrices as the basis of a link prediction algorithm. We investigate our algorithm’s performance on four temporal networks, comparing our approach against ten other link prediction methods. Our results show that higher-order interactions in both space and time play a crucial role in the evolution of networks as we find our method, along with two other methods based on non-local interactions, give the best overall performance. The results also confirm the concept that the higher-order interaction patterns, i.e., triplet dynamics, can help us understand and predict the evolution of different real-world systems.

Changing contexts of literacy in the mobile Internet age demands that readers use higher-order strategies to identify, understand, and evaluate numerous web sources. Sophisticated use of these strategies is a hallmark of competent readers, who are able to make informed decisions about their own reading in the unknown, untested information space on the Internet. The focus of this chapter is on these new demands of reading in Internet settings. The chapter begins by describing changing views of texts and evolving understandings of reading in the digital world. It then describes the core reading strategies that contribute to successful reading in Internet settings, including text location, meaning construction, critical evaluation, and metacognitive monitoring. Conclusions are drawn regarding considerations for designing instruction that fosters students’ higher-order reading strategies in the mobile Internet age.

Opening Up

This chapter investigates how and why computer science in Malaysia is dominated by women. Drawing on recent critical interventions in gender and technology studies the paper aims at opening up for more culturally situated analyses of the gendering of technology or the technology of gendering with the Malaysian case exemplifying the core of the argument. The paper argues along four different strands of critical thought: (1) A critique of the ‘black-boxing’ of gender in gender and technology studies; (2) A critique of the Anglo-centric bias of gender and technology studies advocating more of context sensitivity and focus on the cultural embeddedness of gender and technology relations; (3) In line with that, also paying more attention to spatial practices and body politics in regard to race, class, and gender in gender and technology relations; 4. A critique of ‘western’ positional notions of gender configurations and opening up for more fluid constructions of gender identity including the many crossovers between relational and positional definitions of femininity and masculinity.

AbstractIn this paper, we combine a new higher-order layerwise formulation and collocation with radial basis functions for predicting the static deformations and free vibration behavior of three-layer composite plates. The skins are modeled via a first-order theory, while the core is modeled by a cubic expansion with the thickness coordinate. Through numerical experiments, the numerical accuracy of this strong-form technique for static and vibration problems is discussed.

The article focuses on a concept placed at the core of the A-Deduction, of which the B-Version provides a different but not necessarily better exposition. It is the concept of “transcendental affinity” [transcendentale Affinität] (A 144). This concept is not present in the whole B-Edition of the KrV, and even the term “Affinity” does not appear in the B-Deduction, but only four times in the Transcendental Dialectic, and twice in the Discipline of the Pure Reason. In the economy of the A-Deduction, the concept of “transcendental affinity” plays a central role. It represents indeed the “thoroughgoing connection according to necessary laws” of all the possible phenomena. This connection is presupposed by transcendental consciousness insofar as it has a representation of these phenomena and their relationships, since what all the possible phenomena share is their determination in space and time according to the synthetic unity of the apperception. The concept of transcendental affinity between all the possible phenomena is intimately linked to imagination, which makes this affinity arise by reproducing a phenomenon in space and time according to the a priori laws of understanding. The necessary link between transcendental affinity and imagination represents an important passage in this paper. One goal is to point out that the implications of transcendental affinity are not rejected but rather deepened in the B-Deduction. On these assumptions, we consider the role of the “I think” in the B-Deduction, in order to claim that it implicitly relies upon the concept of transcendental affinity too. The last part of the paper aims to point out that the transcendental affinity between the phenomena describedin the A-Deduction is particularly apt to understand the unity of the representation of nature. To shed light on this point, we will deal with some significant passages from the Opus postumum.

Theology Of Liberation

A TdL se contituiu, ao longo de sua história, como uma teologia sistemática que se insere no conjunto das outras teologias, possui um método de relação com outras ciências, desenvolve o genitivo dos pobres e assume um caráter universal, sedimentado a partir do lugar dos enfraquecidos da história. Seu desenvolvimento está marcado pelas influências das teologias européias, das primeiras obras da própria TdL e da abertura eclesial ao mundo, proporcionada pelo Vaticano II. Embora consolidada, esta teologia foi questionada pelo magistério eclesiástico devido à utilização do marxismo no interior de seu complexo teórico. Mas, sua consistência é a de ser uma teologia desenvolvida em função da irrupção do Reino de Deus na história, a partir da vida dos pobres deste mundo.Abstract: The Theology of Liberation (TL), as its history has unfolded, has made itself into a systematic Theology which places itself in the assemblage of other Theologies, having a method of relation to other Sciences, developing the genitive of the poor and assuming a universal character rooted in the place ofthe weak of history. Its development is marked by the influences of European Theologies, by the first works of TL itself and the ecclesial opening up to the world, given through Vatican II. Though Consolidated, th is Theology was questioned by the ecclesiastical magisterium due to its use of Marxism at the core of its theoretical complex. But its consistency is in its being a Theology developed in function of the outburst of the Kingdom of God in history, starting offfrom the life of the poor ofthis world.

As an umbrella term, the planetary has become a type of placeholder for many different ways of rethinking how the human and the non-human interact in relation to space and time (national time, colonial time, deep time). As well, when we engage with marginalized epistemologies associated with, for example, Indigenous and other nonEuropean cultures, what kind of planetarity is constructed then? And what types of affect does planetarity generate (for example, between the human and the in/non-human) in these contexts? Language and the necessity for multilingual translations of affective concepts are at the core of such questions. My paper will consider an uncomfortable cosmopolitan planetary affect in relation to the Inuit writer Tanya Tagaq’s Split Tooth, the Korean novelist Han Kang’s The Vegetarian and the Japanese German writer Yoko Tawada.
