    Milan-Beijing. Territories of Discomfort

    No full text
    The architecture and urban design workshop “Urban Life. Milan-Beijing Case Studies”, which involved some 25 pupils and six teachers from research doctorate courses at Milan Polytechnic and the Masters course at the Beijing University of Technology, was designed as an experiment – and a challenge. It was experimental in attempting to bring together two very different university traditions of design; so different, in fact, that working out a joint practical proposal for two such diverse situations as those of Beijing and Milan was a considerable tour de force. The challenge, on the other hand, was provided by an absolute constraint on the design proposal: that it should identify alternative practices and solutions, not those usually on offer either from the market or in the visions that currently have the sanction of public and mass media judgment. What we mean here by “university tradition” is not so much a method or an established model of practice which the one school or the other is supposed to have developed in the course of its history (short or long); rather, we use “tradition” in the sense of familiarity with the real situations we find ourselves facing every day in each of our schools, and that situation’s problems which we tackle against their own background. In this sense, then, “tradition” for the younger school (that of Beijing) amounts to its customary situation urgently needing to invent a form of modernity to cope with the present dizzying economic development1; whereas for the Milan school “tradition” consists of its familiarity with the issue of the complex relationships between the assumptions and discoveries which history brings up again and again in Italy and the invention of an original modernity capable of maintaining some continuity with that history. In both cases what is in some sense at stake is these cities’ very identity, in the face of the over-simplifications offered by globalization. The themes tackled in the workshop – an “urban village” in the case of Beijing, and in Milan’s case the historic San Vittore prison – are ones we tentatively describe as “territories of discomfort”. In spite of the enormous differences between them, they both offer common denominator: the absence, in current practice, of any original or tailor made approach

    이 글은 갑오경장(1894)과 경술 국치(1910) 사이에 간행된 산학(수학) 교재류의 목록을 확인하고, 각 텍스트의 출판과 관련된 사항, 소장처, 이본 등의 서지적 정보와 함께 이 시기 산학 교재류의 국어사 자료로서의 의의를 언어 사용 상의 측면에 초점을 두어 정리하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이는 현대 한국어 태동기의 분과 학문의 도입 양상에 대한 연구의 일환인 한편, 학술 용어의 번역과 정착을 중심으로 이 시기의 한국어의 어휘 확장 양상을 확인하는 데에 필요한 기초 자료를 정리하는 작업의 한 부분이다. 본 연구에 앞선 산학(수학) 교재류에 대한 연구로는 산학 교재류의 서지 사항에 대해 기술한 강윤호(1973:187-199), 김봉희(1992:247-253), 한길준(2009), 오채환 외(2010) 등이 있고, 한국 수학사를 기술하면서 교재류를 함께 다룬 것으로 김용운·김용국(1982)와 이상구(2013)이 있다.This paper aims to make a whole list of the mathematics textbooks in the era of the Great Han Empire and summerize bibliographical data and linguistic characteristics in view of Korean history. In chapter 1, the author reviewed former studies which deals with the mathematics textbooks in the era of the Great Han Empire. In chapter 2, the author summerized bibliographical data of 45 volumes of 32 kinds textbooks. In chapter 3, the author described linguistic characteristics of the textbooks, especially focusing on writing systems, the use of Arabic numerals, horizontal writing, and presence of index or glossary

    Also By The Same Author: AKTiveAuthor, a Citation Graph Approach to Name Disambiguation

    No full text
    The desire for definitive data and the semantic web drive for inference over heterogeneous data sources requires co-reference resolution to be performed on those data. In particular, name disambiguation is required to allow accurate publication lists, citation counts and impact measures to be determined. This paper describes a graph-based approach to author disambiguation on large-scale citation networks. Using self-citation, co-authorship and document source analyses, AKTiveAuthor clusters papers, achieving precision of 0.997 and recall of 0.818 over a test group of eight surname clusters
