Heather Passmore and Carrie Walker: Reflexive Animals
No full text"Carrie Walker and Heather Passmore make pictures that introduce animals into what was previously a non-zoological context. Their exhibition, Reflexive Animals, brings together two very different but related projects that explore new avenues of both intervention and appropriation. Passmore's Form Letters, twelve of which are on view, are 40 x 30 inch blow-ups of letters she has received from art institutions, onto which she has drawn and painted scenarios that often involve animals cavorting around the “form” of the missive. Walker's ongoing Found Drawings project, titled Adaptation for this exhibit, involves both shifts in scale and shifts in the context of the habitat depicted in 19th century drawings and paintings she purchases on eBay." -- Publisher's website
Women, gender and fascism in Europe, 1919-1945
No full textWhat attracts women to far-right movements that appear to denigrate their rights? This question has vexed feminist scholars for decades and has led to many lively debates in the academy. In this context, during the 1980s, the study of women, gender, and fascism in twentieth-century Europe took off, pioneered by historians such as Claudia Koonz and Victoria de Grazia. This volume makes an exciting contribution to the evolving body of work based upon these earlier studies, bringing emerging scholarship on Central and Eastern Europe alongside that of more established Western European historiography on the topic. Women, Gender and Fascism in Europe, 1919-45 features fourteen essays covering Serbia, Croatia, Yugoslavia, Romania, Hungary, Latvia, and Poland in addition to Germany, Italy, France, Spain, and Britain, and a conclusion that pulls together a European-wide perspective. As a whole, the volume provides a compelling comparative examination of this important topic through current research, literature reviews, and dialogue with existing debates. The essays cast new light on questions such as women's responsibility for the collapse of democracy in interwar Europe, the interaction between the women's movement and the extreme right, and the relationships between conceptions of national identity and gender. Kevin Passmore is a lecturer in history at Cardiff University and author of Fascism: A Very Short Introduction

A Vision of Collaborative Verification-Driven Engineering of Hybrid Systems
No full textHybrid systems with both discrete and continuous dynamics are an important model for real-world physical systems. The key challenge is how to ensure their correct functioning w.r.t. safety requirements. Promising techniques to ensure safety seem to be model-driven engineering to develop hybrid systems in a well-defined and traceable manner, and formal verification to prove their correctness. Their combination forms the vision of verification-driven engineering. Despite the remarkable progress in automating formal verification of hybrid systems, the construction of proofs of complex systems often requires significant human guidance, since hybrid systems verification tools solve undecidable problems. It is thus not uncommon for verification teams to consist of many players with diverse expertise. This paper introduces a verification-driven engineering toolset that extends our previous work on hybrid and arithmetic verification with tools for (i) modeling hybrid systems, (ii) exchanging and comparing models and proofs, and (iii) managing verification tasks. This toolset makes it easier to tackle large-scale verification tasks
