A Critical History of Contemporary Chinese Fiction
by Cheng Guangwei
English | 2025 | ISBN: 1032916346 | 289 Pages | True PDF | 3.3 MB

This book studies the history of contemporary Chinese fiction criticism, highlighting the role of critics in shaping contemporary literary history.
The author divides the history of contemporary Chinese fiction criticism into three periods: 1949-1976, 1977-1991, and 1992-2015. The first period saw the emergence of the circle of critics who insisted on judging literary works by political standards. The second period brought the rise of the Beijing Critics' Circle and the Shanghai Critics' Circle. The former advocated "artistic standards" in judging works, while the latter introduced contemporary Western literary theories into literary criticism. The third period marked the emergence of "Scholarly Criticism," "Criticism of Women's Fiction," and "Post-1960s Fiction Criticism," reflecting critics' attitudes toward history and philosophy. Drawing on historical materials, this study illuminates contemporary literary trends and the contributions of key writers and critics. It also relates literary criticism to the social environment, underlining the simultaneous relationship between contemporary fiction criticism and social ideology.
This book will be invaluable to scholars and students of Chinese literature and literary criticism, especially those interested in the diverse landscape of contemporary Chinese culture.

A Moving Feast: The Bar and Bat Mitzvah across Jewish Cultures
by Hizky Shoham, Lenn J. Schramm
English | 2025 | ISBN: 3111369706 | 325 Pages | True ePUB | 1.86 MB

Winner of the Goldberg Family Foundation Award 2021
What is the meaning of the Jewish rites of initiation known as "bar and bat mitzvah" in the modern age, when the concept of "mitzvah" (religious precept or obligation) means so little to most Jewish adolescents?
Hizky Shoham offers a comprehensive anthropological history of the bar and bat mitzvah ceremonies that seeks to understand why not only have these ceremonies been preserved, but are in fact celebrated by more Jewish families and demand greater financial, psychological, and family resources than ever before. The book maps and analyzes the transformation of the rituals in the modern age and endeavors to understand their meanings for the celebrants and other participants in the diverse historical contexts in which the ceremony appeared. Is it indeed a rite of initiation?
The book breaks new ground by placing the rise of the bar and bat mitzvah in the context of the general rise during the modern industrial age of a new system of life-cycle rituals: rituals that mark the passing of time by latching on to its artificial, conventional milestones. The child's 12th or 13th birthday functions as a temporal landmark in a personal biography that would otherwise move through homogeneous time.

Ingrid Gilcher-Holtey, "A Revolution of Perception?: Consequences and Echoes of 1968 "
English | ISBN: 1782383794 | 2014 | 216 pages | PDF | 2 MB
The year "1968" marked the climax of protests that simultaneously captured most industrialized Western countries. The protesters challenged the institutions of Western democracies, confronting powerful, established parties and groups with an opposing force and public presence that negated traditional structures of institutional authority and criticized the basic assumptions of the post-war order. Exploring the effects the protest movement of 1968 had on the political, social, and symbolic order of the societies they called into question, this volume focuses on the consequences and echoes of 1968 from different perspectives, including history, sociology, and linguistics.

Mikaela Sundberg, "A Sociology of the Total Organization: Atomistic Unity in the French Foreign Legion "
English | ISBN: 1138702072 | 2017 | 256 pages | EPUB | 453 KB
Examining the organization of everyday life inside the regiments of the French Foreign Legion, this book takes its theoretical point of departure in the notion of the voluntary total organization; that is to say, an institution that constitutes a geographically delimited place of residence and work in which inmates are voluntarily separated from the outside world, leading an enclosed, formally administered life. Informed by a modified version of Goffman's original concept of the total institution, A Sociology of the Total Organization untangles the Foreign Legion and the ways in which different kinds of social orders interplay there. With a focus on regimental life, the author characterizes the armed forces not only as a total organization, but also as a greedy one, seeking undivided loyalty and the incorporation of all social roles within its bounds. Against this understanding, the book draws on rich ethnographic work to develop the notion of atomistic unity, the ideal relational condition that exists in the military, in which individuals commit to a unit and articulate ties with individuals on an impersonal basis, grounded in the belief in a greater whole. A detailed and empirically grounded study of the mechanisms in which the Foreign Legion not only cuts members' ties to people outside the organization, but also restricts the creation and maintenance of ties among its members, this book shows how atomistic unity is not limited to greedy organizations such as the military, but applies to a variety of collectivist settings. As such, it will appeal to scholars of sociology and anthropology with interests in military life, social relations, social theory and the work of Goffman.

Ronan Hervouet, "A Taste for Oppression: A Political Ethnography of Everyday Life in Belarus "
English | ISBN: 180073025X | 2021 | 270 pages | PDF | 2 MB
Belarus has emerged from communism in a unique manner as an authoritarian regime. The author, who has lived in Belarus for several years, highlights several mechanisms of tyranny, beyond the regime's ability to control and repress, which should not be underestimated. The book immerses the reader in the depths of the Belarusian countryside, among the kolkhozes and rural communities at the heart of this authoritarian regime under Alexander Lukashenko, and offers vivid descriptions of the everyday life of Belarusians. It sheds light on the reasons why part of the population supports Lukashenko and takes a fresh look at the functioning of what has been called 'the last dictatorship in Europe'.

Adaptive On- and Off-Earth Environments (Springer Series in Adaptive Environments) by Angelo Cervone, Henriette Bier, Advenit Makaya
English | April 11, 2024 | ISBN: 3031500806 | 213 pages | MOBI | 22 Mb
This volume investigates the challenges and opportunities for designing, manufacturing and operating off-Earth infrastructures in order to establish adaptive human habitats. The adaptive aspects are considered with respect to the development of adequate infrastructures designed to support human activities. Given the limitations in bringing materials from Earth, utilisation of in-situ resources is crucial for establishing and maintaining these infrastructures.

Adaptive on-and off-Earth Environments focuses, among other aspects, on the design, production, and operation processes required to build and maintain such off-Earth infrastructures, while heavily relying on In-Situ Resource Utilisation (ISRU). Such design, production, and operation processes integrate cyber-physical approaches developed and tested on Earth. The challenge is to adapt on-Earth approaches to off-Earth applications aiming at technology advancement and ultimately transfer from on- to off-Earth research. Thischallenge is addressed with contributions from various disciplines ranging from power generation to architecture, construction, and materials engineering involving ISRU for manufacturing processes. All chapters, related to these disciplines, are structured with an emphasis on computing and adaptivity of on-Earth technology to off-Earth applications and vice versa to serve society at large.

Adhesives, Coatings and Consolidants, 3rd Edition
by Joyce H. Townsend
English | 2025 | ISBN: 1032484616 | 133 Pages | True PDF | 3.16 MB

This new edition titled Adhesives, Coatings and Consolidants discusses the chemical, physical, and optical properties that influence the selection of adhesives, coatings, and consolidants used in the conservation of cultural heritage objects made from a wide range of materials.
The structured text guides readers through the concepts that underpin the selection of the material to use for a given object, when making a join, applying a coating, or consolidating a fragile surface. Widely used conservation materials today are mentioned in the context of the desirable properties that account for their popularity, while examples of those used in the past and likely to be found on previously treated objects are also discussed. This volume is not a recipe book. It is a basic primer and an aid to the assimilation of concepts that will become embedded in decision-making by conservation professionals. Adhesives are discussed first and in the most detail, followed by coatings. The section on consolidants has been extended to reflect developments in treatment and ongoing research into more effective and more sustainable products, such as nanomaterials, that offer new possibilities for the treatment of challenging objects. A list of further reading and some practical exercises are included, along with a comprehensive index.
Thoroughly updated to reflect the most recent research, Adhesives, Coatings and Consolidants remains a crucial resource for those beginning a course of study in practical conservation and as a refresher for emerging and mid-career conservators.

Advanced Distributed Systems: 5th International School and Symposium, ISSADS 2005, Guadalajara, Mexico, January 24-28, 2005, Revised Selected Papers By Ali R. Hurson, Yu Jiao (auth.), Félix F. Ramos, Victor Larios Rosillo, Herwig Unger (eds.)
2005 | 564 Pages | ISBN: 3540280634 | PDF | 9 MB
It is our pleasure to present the papers accepted and presented at the 5th Int- national School and Symposium on Advanced Distributed Systems (ISSADS) in this LNCS volume. The symposium was held in the city of Guadalajara,Mexico from January 24 to 28, 2005. The organization team was composed of members of CINVESTAV Guadalajara, Rostock University in Germany, the CUCEI and CUCEA campuses of Guadalajara University, and Instituto Tecnol´ ogico y de Estudios Superiores de Occidente, ITESO. The symposium is already a we- established annual meeting, at which scientists and people from the industrial ?eld meet and discuss the progress of applications and the theory of distributed systems in a forum during the last week of January. This year, more than 250 people from 3 continents attended the conference. Most of them are scientists, teachers, students and engineers from the local industry. The papers presented in the sessions of the symposium cover not only the subjects of distributed systems from the system level and applications, but also contributions from the area of theory and arti?cial intelligence concepts. These papers were selected out of more than 100 submissions. There was a selection ?lter in which each paper was evaluated by at least three members of the - ternational Program Committee, who came from research institutions of good reputation all over the world.

Advanced Strategies for Biodegradation of Plastic Polymers by Ravindra Soni, Prasenjit Debbarma, Deep Chandra Suyal
English | April 11, 2024 | ISBN: 3031556607 | 426 pages | MOBI | 6.08 Mb
Synthetic plastic offers a wide range of utilities because of its physico-chemical properties, thus the demand for its commercial availability and generation of waste is inevitable. Although the scientists have proved over the years that plastics can be efficiently biodegraded by different potential microorganisms, this sustainable green technology is still in the cocoon phase and overlooked by the industry and government as well. Therefore, this book will showcase the cutting-edge microbial tools to mitigate the plastic waste sustainably in consideration of latest technologies and recent strategic advancements besides discussing the global plastic production and their impacts on environment. It will also provide the present status and future perspectives of the environmental clean-up technologies. Moreover, it is an effort to ascertain the potential areas for large-scale biodegradation or pilot scale or start-up ventures in the field of plastic remediation strategy.

Advances in Artificial Life: 8th European Conference, ECAL 2005, Canterbury, UK, September 5-9, 2005. Proceedings By à arūnas Raudys (auth.), Mathieu S. Capcarrère, Alex A. Freitas, Peter J. Bentley, Colin G. Johnson, Jon Timmis (eds.)
2005 | 949 Pages | ISBN: 3540288481 | PDF | 21 MB
TheArti?cialLifetermappearedmorethan20yearsagoinasmallcornerofNew Mexico, USA. Since then the area has developed dramatically, many researchers joining enthusiastically and research groups sprouting everywhere. This frenetic activity led to the emergence of several strands that are now established ?elds in themselves. We are now reaching a stage that one may describe as maturer: with more rigour, more benchmarks, more results, more stringent acceptance criteria, more applications, in brief, more sound science. This, which is the n- ural path of all new areas, comes at a price, however. A certain enthusiasm, a certain adventurousness from the early years is fading and may have been lost on the way. The ?eld has become more reasonable. To counterbalance this and to encourage lively discussions, a conceptual track, where papers were judged on criteria like importance and/or novelty of the concepts proposed rather than the experimental/theoretical results, has been introduced this year. A conference on a theme as broad as Arti?cial Life is bound to be very - verse,but a few tendencies emerged. First, ?elds like 'Robotics and Autonomous Agents' or 'Evolutionary Computation' are still extremely active and keep on bringing a wealth of results to the A-Life community. Even there, however, new tendencies appear, like collective robotics, and more speci?cally self-assembling robotics, which represent now a large subsection. Second, new areas appear.

On behalf of the ProgramCommittee, we are pleased to present the proceedings of the 2005 Asia-Paci?c Computer Systems Architecture Conference (ACSAC 2005) held in the beautiful and dynamic country of Singapore. This conference was the tenth in its series, one of the leading forums for sharing the emerging research ?ndings in this ?eld. In consultation with the ACSAC Steering Committee, we selected a - member Program Committee. This Program Committee represented a broad spectrum of research expertise to ensure a good balance of research areas, - stitutions and experience while maintaining the high quality of this conference series. This year's committee was of the same size as last year but had 19 new faces. We received a total of 173 submissions which is 14% more than last year. Each paper was assigned to at least three and in some cases four ProgramC- mittee members for review. Wherever necessary, the committee members called upon the expertise of their colleagues to ensure the highest possible quality in the reviewing process. As a result, we received 415 reviews from the Program Committee members and their 105 co-reviewers whose names are acknowledged inthe proceedings.Theconferencecommitteeadopteda systematicblind review process to provide a fair assessment of all submissions. In the end, we accepted 65 papers on a broad range of topics giving an acceptance rate of 37.5%. We are grateful to all the Program Committee members and the co-reviewers for their e?orts in completing the reviews within a tight schedule.
