The essays in NEW MEDIA/NEW METHODS: THE ACADEMIC TURN FROM LITERACY TO ELECTRACY pose an invention-based approach to new media studies. Representing a specific school of theory emergent in graduates of the University of Florida and working from the concept of electracy, as opposed to literacy, contributors present various heuristics for elaborating new media rhetoric and theory. NEW MEDIA/NEW METHODS challenges literacy-based understandings of new media, which typically pose such work as hermeneutics or textual interpretation. Rather than grounding their work in hermeneutics, contributors rely on heuretics, or invention, to outline new modes of scholarly discourse reflective of and adapted to digital culture. Contributors include Ron Broglio, Elizabeth Coffman, Denise K. Cummings, Bradley Dilger, Michelle Glaros, Michael Jarrett, Barry Jason Mauer, Marcel O'Gorman, Robert Ray, Jeff Rice, Craig Saper, and Gregory L. Ulmer.

New Imaginaries Youthful Reinvention of Ukraine's Cultural Paradigm

Having been spared the constraints imposed on intellectual discourse by the totalitarian regime of the past, young Ukrainian scholars now engage with many Western ideological theories and practices in an atmosphere of intellectual freedom and uncensored scholarship. Displacing the Soviet legacy of prescribed thought and practices, this volume's female contributors have infused their work with Western elements, although vestiges of Soviet-style ideas, research methodology, and writing linger. The result is the articulation of a "New Imaginaries" ― neither Soviet nor Western ― that offers a unique approach to the study of gender by presenting a portrait of Ukrainian society as seen through the eyes of a new generation of feminist scholars.Review"Without doubt, this volume offers pioneering contributions and fills gaps on the subject of women in the Ukraine. It thus contributes to opening up a new era in the research on gender in the Ukraine. It is obvious that we can count on Rubchak to continue gathering publications on women in the Ukraine, and we look forward to reading the analyses of the cultural changes to come." * Genre & Histoire"[These are] excellent contributions to gender studies in Ukraine...It is hoped that Rubchak or other scholars studying women and gender in Ukraine will follow up this important work with contributions that assess the state of that field in post-Euromaidan Ukraine." * Slavic and East European Journal"...a complex and well‐researched volume that raises critical questions about the nature of contemporary cultural and political shifts in Ukraine and offers some worthy fresh ideas and views. The book might be of interest to different groups of readers, ranging from those from within Ukraine, who might want to look at themselves through the looking glass, to scholars and journalists who have a professional interest in the country or are just seeking a short but thorough summary of the local cultural and political landscapes." * Journal of Soviet & Post-Soviet Politics & Society"Instead of pointing out how 'different' Ukrainian feminism/gender studies/women's studies is from 'Western' (or other) feminisms, this volume has potential to contribute to our understanding of the exciting and complex ways that feminist thought travels as one of the most important 'ideascapes' (à la Appadurai) of our time." * Sarah D. Phillips, Indiana University"All the chapters comprise intelligent, well-researched discussions of inherently significant issues in Ukraine [and] relevant to a number of societies and cultures throughout the world." * Michael Naydan, Penn State University"... [the chapters] convincingly illustrate cultural shifts that occurred in Ukraine since independence and fit a paradigm of 'New Imaginaries,' as envisioned by the editor, namely bringing to light those qualities that are often associated with postcolonial societies and labeled as cultural hybridity." * Maria G. Rewakowicz, University of Washington

New Directions in Antimatter Chemistry and Physics
Free Download New Directions in Antimatter Chemistry and Physics by Clifford M. Surko (Professor of Physics), Franco A. Gianturco (Professor of Chemical Physics)
English | PDF | 2001 | 509 Pages | ISBN : 0792371526 | 29 MB
This volume is the outgrowth of a workshop held in October, 2000 at the Institute for Theoretical Atomic and Molecular Physics at the Harvard- Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, MA. The aim of this book (similar in theme to the workshop) is to present an overview of new directions in antimatter physics and chemistry research. The emphasis is on positron and positronium interactions both with themselves and with ordinary matter. The timeliness of this subject comes from several considerations. New concepts for intense positron sources and the development of positron accumulators and trap-based positron beams provide qualitatively new experimental capabilities. On the theoretical side, the ability to model complex systems and complex processes has increased dramatically in recent years, due in part to progress in computational physics. There are presently an intriguing variety of phenomena that await theoretical explanation. It is virtually assured that the new experimental capabilities in this area will lead to a rapid expansion of this list. This book is organized into four sections: The first section discusses potential new experimental capabilities and the uses and the progress that might be made with them. The second section discusses topics involving antihydrogen and many-body phenomena, including Bose condensation of positronium atoms and positron interactions with materials. The final two sections treat a range of topics involving positron and positronium interactions with atoms and molecules.

English | ISBN: 1032301856 | 2023 | 216 pages | PDF | 1117 KB
Those engaging in research to reduce youth inequality know that robust and resonant theories are needed alongside strong methods to study racialization, racism, and the consequences of racial categorization. This edited volume shares contributors' first-person narrations of some of the hard-fought learnings and challenges of breaking from the traditions of their disciplinary fields and finding new and reclaimed ways to think about race. Featuring contributors' narrations of how they came to engage with compelling theories of Blackness, Indigeneity, and/or racialization, and how such theories inform the social science research they do with young people, this timely and consequential text tells a multi-disciplinary story about the careful reading and co-theorizing that is required to refuse universal theories of Blackness, Indigeneity, and racialization.

Neurologic-Psychiatric Syndromes in Focus  Part I
Free Download Neurologic-Psychiatric Syndromes in Focus Part I By Julien Bogousslavsky
2018 | 135 Pages | ISBN: 3318058580 | PDF | 3 MB
The late 19th century and early 20th century witnessed neurology and psychiatry becomingtwo distinct fields in medicine. However, many overlaps between the twofields have been since then, leading to the reactivation of the clinical approach,thought to mainly bear a historical relevance. Neurologists have now become interestedin mood and behavior, because they observed that emotional behavioral changeswere often dramatically significant in patients with focal brain lesions or neurodegenerativedisorders. On the contrary, psychiatrists have developed a renewed interestin the brain and its interaction with the psychological state. It is striking that while"neuropsychiatry" progressively became obsolete during the second half of the 20thcentury, a new approach to the functional changes associated with brain lesions andto the cerebral correlates of psychological dysfunction may justify a modern redefinitionof the field.Many neurologic-psychiatric syndromes have remained poorly known, because ofa rarity in the literature which could often be explained by their position in the formerno-man's-land between classical neurology and psychiatry. The goal of the presentbook, which is divided into two parts (for Part II - From Psychiatry to Neurology, seeFrontiers of Neurology and Neuroscience, vol. 42), is to shed light on the so-called"uncommon syndromes," which may in fact be more frequent than what the literaturesuggests. Since several of these clinical syndromes were first reported over a centuryago, they are often known by an eponym (Ganser, Capgras, de Cérambault, Cotard,etc.) or a mythological or fictional figure (Diogenes, Othello, Alice in Wonderland,etc.). This also explains why the historical description and development of these neuropsychiatricsyndromes is of particular interest, and we have attempted to give detailson this perspective across time. We have also tried to focus on the most representativeclinical syndromes, excluding from our survey very common manifestations(anosognosia, confabulation) which have been the specific topic of recentreviews, or particular forms of delusions (delusional parasitosis) which do not bringspecific information as compared to other delusional syndromes covered here.
