The Arte Povera movement emerged as a reaction to the mainstreams in Europe in the second half of the 1960s. Poor art has created a new sense of time by focusing on what is here and now in the trilogy of past, present, future. In this perception there are roots of destructiveness. The main issue of poor art, which places the concept of time at the center, is the problem of temporality and permanence. It takes place within itself. The transformation of the artwork in the process has shaken the permanence of the work; therefore, the uniqueness of the work and the test of writing accordingly began to be questioned again. This research is focused on the ongoing arrangements of the leading representatives of Poor art, Jannis Kounellis and Pier Paolo Calzolari, who used an alive dog or horse as an art object. In this context, the state of the art work will be revealed through the changing print, temporality and permanence of the work. Semantic analysis of the works of these artists will be made through the context of human, animal and art. Keywords: Poor Art, Living Animal, Artwork, Temporality-permanence problem

This chapter presents the research questions and outline of the book, providing a brief review of the state of the art of legitimacy research in established democracies, and discusses the recurring theme of crisis throughout this literature since the 1960s. It includes a discussion of the conceptualization and measurement of legitimacy, seeking to relate legitimacy to political support, and reflecting on how to evaluate empirical indicators: what symptoms indicate crisis? This chapter further explains the structure of the three main parts of the book. Part I evaluates in a systematic fashion the empirical evidence for legitimacy decline in established democracies; Part II reappraises the validity of theories of legitimacy decline; and Part II investigates what (new) explanations can account for differences in legitimacy between established democracies. The chapter concludes with a short description of the chapters included in the volume.

This chapter provides the state-of-the-art around expletive negation (EN), by discussing: (i) the relationship between EN and negative concord; (ii) EN as a real negation; (iii) EN as a special formative linked to an additional evaluative/expressive layer in the semantics of language. Moreover, the chapter offers a potentially unifying analysis of EN in comparative, exclamative, and temporal clauses: EN as an operator of implicature denial. This approach derives the fact that EN is logically and compositionally independent from what is said from the fact that EN shifts the semantics of negation to the layer of implicated meaning. Some of the interpretive effects normally linked to the expressive/evaluative analysis of EN can be arguably derived as side-effects of this semantic analysis. The proposal advanced here has a number of implications regarding the relationship among morpho-syntax, pragmatic enrichment, and the non-incremental analysis of negation in theories of negation processing.

Chapter 4 explains the concept and process of annotation for historical corpora, from a theoretical, practical, and technical point of view, and discusses the challenges presented by historical texts. We introduce basic terminology for XML technologies and corpus metadata, and we describe the different levels of linguistic annotation, from spelling normalization to morphological, syntactic, and semantic analysis, and briefly present the state of the art for historical corpora and treebanks. We cover annotation schemes and standards and illustrate the main concepts in corpus annotation with an example from LatinISE, a large annotated Latin corpus.

The ‘Scottish Enlightenment’ has fostered a steadily growing academic industry since Duncan Forbes and Hugh Trevor-Roper put the subject on the map in the 1960s. David Hume and Adam Smith have from the start been widely considered as its leading thinkers, and their thoughts on politics have attracted an increasing amount of attention in recent years. Two new publications invite readers to reflect on the state of the art in Scottish Enlightenment studies in general, and especially Hume and Smith scholarship. Christopher Berry’s Essays on Hume, Smith and the Scottish Enlightenment collects many of Berry’s pathbreaking essays from a career spanning over 40 years . The Infidel and the Professor by Dennis Rasmussen is astonishingly the first book-length treatment of the private and philosophical friendship between Hume and Smith. Both publications reflect how much Scottish Enlightenment studies have expanded since the 1960s, and the sustained interest in Hume and Smith to boot. At the same time, they also raise questions about the future of the field and what remains to be done.

This chapter gives an overview over the state-of-the-art in natural language processing for ontology learning. It presents two main NLP techniques for knowledge extraction from text, namely shallow techniques and deep techniques, and explains their usefulness for each step of the ontology learning process. The chapter also advocates the interest of deeper semantic analysis methods for ontology learning. In fact, there have been very few attempts to create ontologies using deep NLP. After a brief introduction to the main semantic analysis approaches, the chapter focuses on lexico-syntactic patterns based on dependency grammars and explains how these patterns can be considered as a step towards deeper semantic analysis. Finally, the chapter addresses the “ontologization” task that is the ability to filter important concepts and relationships among the mass of extracted knowledge.

Partial hyperbolicity appeared in the 1960s as a natural generalization of hyperbolicity. In the last 20 years, there has been great activity in this area. Here we survey the state of the art in some related topics, focusing especially on partial hyperbolicity in dimension three. The reason for this is not only that it is the smallest dimension in which non-degenerate partial hyperbolicity can occur, but also that the topology of$3$-manifolds influences the dynamics in revealing ways.

Various authors have emphasized the spatial information resident in an electron micrograph taken with adequately coherent radiation. In view of the completion of at least one such instrument, this opportunity is taken to summarize the state of the art of processing such micrographs. We use the usual symbols for the aberration coefficients, and supplement these with £ and 6 for the transverse coherence length and the fractional energy spread respectively. He also assume a weak, biologically interesting sample, with principal interest lying in the molecular skeleton remaining after obvious hydrogen loss and other radiation damage has occurred.
