The Cultural Politics of One-to-One Performance - Rachel Zerihan - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

The Cultural Politics of One-to-One Performance - Rachel Zerihan - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

This monograph is the first study to critically examine works of performance made for an audience of one. Despite being a prolific feature of the performance scene since the turn of the millennium, critical writing about this area of contemporary practice remains scarce. This book proposes a genealogy of the curious relationship between solo performer and lone spectator through lineages in the histories of live art, visual art and theatre practices. Drawing on one-to-one performances by artists including Marilyn Arsem, Oreet Ashery, Franko B, Rosana Cade, Jess Dobkin, Karen Finley, David Hoyle, Adrian Howells, Kira O''Reilly, Barbara T Smith and Julie Tolentino, Rachel Zerihan produces research that is both affective and critical. This performance analysis proposes four frameworks through which to examine the significance and challenge of this work: cathartic, social, explicit and economic. One-to-one performance is proposed as a rich portal for examining the cultural politics of contemporary society. The book will appeal to students and scholars from performance studies, theatre, visual art and cultural studies.

The One State Reality - - Bog - Cornell University Press - Plusbog.dk

The One State Reality - - Bog - Cornell University Press - Plusbog.dk

The One State Reality argues that a one state reality already predominates in the territories controlled by the state of Israel. The editors show that starting with the one state reality rather than hoping for a two state solution reshapes how we regard the conflict, what we consider acceptable and unacceptable solutions, and how we discuss difficult normative questions. The One State Reality forces a reconsideration of foundational concepts such as state, sovereignty, and nation; encourages different readings of history; shifts conversation about solutions from two states to alternatives that borrow from other political contexts; and provides context for confronting uncomfortable questions such as whether Israel/Palestine is an "apartheid state."

One World for One Earth - Paul Smith - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

One World for One Earth - Paul Smith - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

We have only one earth, and how we choose to live in it matters. This highly readable and challenging text sets out some important topical issues that tells us we are not making a very good job of it. From the tropical rainforests to the teeming cities of the developing world and the energy hungry nations of Europe and North America, One World for One Earth shows that many of today''s environmental problems can only be understood in terms of both the physical and the social processes involved. At present we are in a vicious circle. Uneven development creates problems of affluence in some areas and problems of poverty in others In both, the environment suffers. Independent local action has a crucial part to play, but to be really effective, sustainable development needs a new context which can only be put in place by international government co-operation.This book, by going beyond the conventional accounts of environmental problems, provides a basis for action. Originally published in 1991

Quantum Physics in One Dimension - Thierry Giamarchi - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

Quantum Physics in One Dimension - Thierry Giamarchi - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

This book presents in a pedagogical yet complete way correlated systems in one dimension. Recent progress in nanotechnology and material research have made one dimensional systems a crucial part of today''s physics. After an introduction to the basic concepts of correlated systems, the book gives a step by step description of the techniques needed to treat one dimension, and discusses the resulting physics. Then specific experimental realizations of one dimensional systems such as spin chains, quantum wires, nanotubes, organic superconductors etc. are examined. Given its progressive and pedagogical approach, this book should satisfy both graduate students who want to learn the tools of the trade and become professionals in the field as well as more advanced researchers who want to know more about the physics of a specific one dimensional system without unnecessary technicalities.

Saying What One Thinks - Lea Salje - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

Saying What One Thinks - Lea Salje - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

Saying what one thinks can be difficult; sometimes one knows that a thought is there, but it takes time and effort to find its proper articulation. This book is about articulatory self-knowledge, or the sort of knowledge about one''s own mind that results from successful attempts to articulate evasive thoughts of this kind. Rather than account for this phenomenon as mere verbal blockage or hermeneutical impoverishment, Lea Salje argues that the obstacle to articulation in these cases has to do with the representational metaphysics of the thought. When it first occurs, the thought has the wrong representational format to serve as the content of a sentence -- work must be done on it before it can be uttered aloud. What results is a picture of a little explored form of psychological self-knowledge that reveals hidden parts of one''s mind to oneself even as one goes about creating the thought in its new, articulated form. The final parts of the book explore the role of conversation in drawing out articulations of this kind, and the possible expression of thoughts in art. By the end of Saying What One Thinks, articulatory self-knowledge no longer looks like a mere quirk of our psychology, but emerges as a central feature of distinctively human cognition.

Accelerated Life Testing of One-shot Devices - Narayanaswamy Balakrishnan - Bog - John Wiley & Sons Inc - Plusbog.dk

Accelerated Life Testing of One-shot Devices - Narayanaswamy Balakrishnan - Bog - John Wiley & Sons Inc - Plusbog.dk

Provides authoritative guidance on statistical analysis techniques and inferential methods for one-shot device life-testing Estimating the reliability of one-shot devices—electro-expolsive devices, fire extinguishers, automobile airbags, and other units that perform their function only once—poses unique analytical challenges to conventional approaches. Due to how one-shot devices are censored, their precise failure times cannot be obtained from testing. The condition of a one-shot device can only be recorded at a specific inspection time, resulting in a lack of lifetime data collected in life-tests. Accelerated Life Testing of One-shot Devices: Data Collection and Analysis addresses the fundamental issues of statistical modeling based on data collected from accelerated life-tests of one-shot devices. The authors provide inferential methods and procedures for planning accelerated life-tests, and describe advanced statistical techniques to help reliability practitioners overcome estimation problems in the real world. Topics covered include likelihood inference, competing-risks models, one-shot devices with dependent components, model selection, and more. Enabling readers to apply the techniques to their own lifetime data and arrive at the most accurate inference possible, this practical resource: - - Provides expert guidance on comprehensive data analysis of one-shot devices under accelerated life-tests - - Discusses how to design experiments for data collection from efficient accelerated life-tests while conforming to budget constraints - - Helps readers develops optimal designs for constant-stress and step-stress accelerated life-tests, mainstream life-tests commonly used in reliability practice - - Includes R code in each chapter for readers to use in their own analyses of one-shot device testing data - - Features numerous case studies and practical examples throughout - - Highlights important issues, problems, and future research directions in reliability theory and practice - Accelerated Life Testing of One-shot Devices: Data Collection and Analysis is essential reading for graduate students, researchers, and engineers working on accelerated life testing data analysis.

One-Dimensional Man - Herbert Marcuse - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

One-Dimensional Man - Herbert Marcuse - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

One of the most important texts of modern times, Herbert Marcuse''s analysis and image of a one-dimensional man in a one-dimensional society has shaped many young radicals'' way of seeing and experiencing life. Published in 1964, it fast became an ideological bible for the emergent New Left. As Douglas Kellner notes in his introduction, Marcuse''s greatest work was a ''damning indictment of contemporary Western societies, capitalist and communist.'' Yet it also expressed the hopes of a radical philosopher that human freedom and happiness could be greatly expanded beyond the regimented thought and behaviour prevalent in established society. For those who held the reigns of power Marcuse''s call to arms threatened civilization to its very core. For many others however, it represented a freedom hitherto unimaginable.

The Seriality of the One - Nicola Masciandaro - Bog - Anthem Press - Plusbog.dk

The Seriality of the One - Nicola Masciandaro - Bog - Anthem Press - Plusbog.dk

Following the idea of the series as a fundamental feature of reality, The Seriality of the One investigates its metaphysical, ontological, and existential significance in dialogue with an open constellation of modern and premodern authors, giving special attention to the way seriality mediates and measures the relation between the individual and the universal, bridging by ellipsis the unbounded interpenetrating unities of the one and the One. Seen through the ongoing perspective of the series, beings, events, and facts are never discrete and definable identities that can ever be counted or discounted as having greater or lesser importance or status than others. Nothing is merely itself or a part of something else. In the infinity mirror of seriality, all are simultaneously equivalent to all or the totality itself.
