The Problem of Theatrical Autonomy Analysing Theatre as a Social Practice


Free Download Joshua Edelman, "The Problem of Theatrical Autonomy: Analysing Theatre as a Social Practice"
English | ISBN: 9462980799 | 2016 | 224 pages | PDF | 1400 KB
As any devoted theatregoer will attest, watching a performance is a unique experience, as the social setting, rules, and standards of theatre often combine to create a feeling of liberation from the everyday world. This book explores the phenomenon of theatre as simultaneously distinct from and yet connected to society as a whole. Combining theoretical reflections with materials from European case studies, the authors offer intriguing new methods for the sociological study of theatre while contributing equally to theatre and performance studies.

Recognition, Conflict and the Problem of Global Ethical Community


Free Download Shannon Brincat, "Recognition, Conflict and the Problem of Global Ethical Community"
English | 2015 | ISBN: 0415738520, 1138060410 | EPUB | pages: 152 | 0.3 mb
Recognition has become a central thematic in contemporary political, social, and international relations theory. Its fundamentality to social life is apparent in that how we recognise others and are recognized by them is essential to both the identity of individual subjects and the relations between self and other in ethical community. As such, recognition is properly basic to all social interactions; between individuals, groups, local communities and sovereign states. Without the foundational act of recognition, relations can become unequal and antagonistic, leading to social pathologies, denigration and even open conflict.

Hadron Spectroscopy and the Confinement Problem


Free Download Hadron Spectroscopy and the Confinement Problem By Martin Faessler (auth.), D. V. Bugg (eds.)
1996 | 389 Pages | ISBN: 1461380235 | PDF | 17 MB
This meeting on Hadron Spectroscopy and the Confinement Problem took place from June 27 to July 8, 1995. The first four days were at Queen Mary and Westfield College, London and the last six at the University College of Swansea, Wales. The reason for the split sites was a question of accomodating the 54 students and 12 lecturers. However, it was enjoyed by all concerned, providing the opportunity to sample the nightlife of London one week and enjoy the delightful coastal area around Swansea the following week. The meeting immediately preceded the Hadron ’95 conference in Manchester. The contents of this volume run roughly parallel to the order of the lectures. Martin Faessler’s brief and that of Madjid Boutemeur was to review experimental tech niques as well as physics results. We have tried to review all the areas which are currently active experimentally. This means mostly Light Meson Spectroscopy. However, Simon Capstick gave us a welcome review of Baryon Spectroscopy and the coming CEBAF program. This is an opportunity to thank NATO for their generous financial support, and also the two host institutions for excellent coordination and an enjoyable stay.

Dynamics and the Problem of Recognition in Biological Macromolecules


Free Download Dynamics and the Problem of Recognition in Biological Macromolecules By Yawen Bai, S. Walter Englander (auth.), Oleg Jardetzky, Jean-François Lefèvre (eds.)
1996 | 311 Pages | ISBN: 1461376777 | PDF | 22 MB
From within complex structures of organisms and cells down to the molecular level, biological processes all involve movement. Muscular fibers slide on each other to activate the muscle, as polymerases do along nucleic acids for replicating and transcribing the genetic material. Cells move and organize themselves into organs by recognizing each other through macromolecular surface-specific interactions. These recognition processes involve the mu tual adaptation of structures that rely on their flexibility. All sorts of conformational changes occur in proteins involved in through-membrane signal transmission, showing another aspect of the flexibility of these macromolecules. The movement and flexibility are inscribed in the polymeric nature of essential biological macromolecules such as proteins and nucleic acids. For instance, the well-defined structures formed by the long protein chain are held together by weak noncovalent interac tions that design a complex potential well in which the protein floats, permanently fluctuating between several micro- or macroconformations in a wide range of frequencies and ampli tudes. The inherent mobility of biomolecular edifices may be crucial to the adaptation of their structures to particular functions. Progress in methods for investigating macromolecular structures and dynamics make this hypothesis not only attractive but more and more testable.

The Problem of Punishment


Free Download David Boonin, "The Problem of Punishment"
English | 2008 | pages: 311 | ISBN: 0521883164, 052170961X | PDF | 1,1 mb
In this book, David Boonin examines the problem of punishment, and particularly the problem of explaining why it is morally permissible for the state to treat those who break the law in ways that would be wrong to treat those who do not. Boonin argues that there is no satisfactory solution to this problem and that the practice of legal punishment should therefore be abolished. Providing a detailed account of the nature of punishment and the problems that it generates, he offers a comprehensive and critical survey of the various solutions that have been offered to the problem and concludes by considering victim restitution as an alternative to punishment. Written in a clear and accessible style, The Problem of Punishment will be of interest to anyone looking for a critical introduction to the subject as well as to those already familiar with it.

Problem-Solving and Selected Topics in Euclidean Geometry In the Spirit of the Mathematical Olympiads


Free Download Problem-Solving and Selected Topics in Euclidean Geometry: In the Spirit of the Mathematical Olympiads By Sotirios E. Louridas, Michael Th. Rassias (auth.)
2013 | 235 Pages | ISBN: 1461472725 | PDF | 3 MB
"Problem-Solving and Selected Topics in Euclidean Geometry: in the Spirit of the Mathematical Olympiads" contains theorems which are of particular value for the solution of geometrical problems. Emphasis is given in the discussion of a variety of methods, which play a significant role for the solution of problems in Euclidean Geometry. Before the complete solution of every problem, a key idea is presented so that the reader will be able to provide the solution. Applications of the basic geometrical methods which include analysis, synthesis, construction and proof are given. Selected problems which have been given in mathematical olympiads or proposed in short lists in IMO’s are discussed. In addition, a number of problems proposed by leading mathematicians in the subject are included here. The book also contains new problems with their solutions. The scope of the publication of the present book is to teach mathematical thinking through Geometry and to provide inspiration for both students and teachers to formulate "positive" conjectures and provide solutions.
