Confidente e burattinaio. Sydney Pollack attore e direttore di attori
No full textQuando esordisce alla regia, nel 1965, Sydney Pollack ha alle spalle una lunga carriera di attore e insegnante di recitazione. Inoltre, dal 1992, il cineasta torna a interpretare piccoli ruoli in selezionate opere di importanti registi. Questo particolare rapporto con il lavoro dell'attore ha consenguenze non indifferenti sullo sviluppo del suo approccio al cinema: il presente articolo si propone di indagare i rapporti di Pollack con le principali tendenze della recitazione cinematografica apparse nella seconda metà del '900, con particolare attenzione al "Method Acting" americano

A Computational Model of Symbiotic Composition in Evolutionary Transitions
No full textSeveral of the major transitions in evolutionary history, such as the symbiogenic origin of eukaryotes from prokaryotes, share the feature that existing entities became the components of composite entities at a higher level of organisation. This composition of pre-adapted extant entities into a new whole is a fundamentally different source of variation from the gradual accumulation of small random variations, and it has some interesting consequences for issues of evolvability. Intuitively, the pre-adaptation of sets of features in reproductively independent specialists suggests a form of ‘divide and conquer’ decomposition of the adaptive domain. Moreover, the compositions resulting from one level may become the components for compositions at the next level, thus scaling-up the variation mechanism. In this paper, we explore and develop these concepts using a simple abstract model of symbiotic composition to examine its impact on evolvability. To exemplify the adaptive capacity of the composition model, we employ a scale-invariant fitness landscape exhibiting significant ruggedness at all scales. Whilst innovation by mutation and by conventional evolutionary algorithms becomes increasingly more difficult as evolution continues in this landscape, innovation by composition is not impeded as it discovers and assembles component entities through successive hierarchical levels
Sei kontra pollack: Smaksundersøkelse gjort under Nor-Fishing 2000
No full textFiskeriforskning gjennomførte under messa NOR-FISHING i Trondheim år 2000 en undersøkelse for å se i hvilken grad sei og Alaska pollack ble oppfattet som like. Undersøkelsen viser at et flertall syntes sei smakte bedre enn pollack. Når deltagerne ble spurt om hvilken smaksprøve som kom fra sei og hvilken som kom fra pollack var fordelingen omtrent 50/50 riktig-galt blant de som sa de var usikre på om de hadde ”tippet” riktig, mens den var ca 75/25 blant de som sa de var sikre.Rapport/Report 14/2000 English summarySei kontra pollack: Smaksundersøkelse gjort under Nor-Fishing 2000publishedVersio

On the Fourier-Jacobi Expansion of Quaternionic Modular Forms on Spin(8)
No full textIn this dissertation, we study a class of non-holomorphic, cohomological automorphic functions on the split, simply connected, spin group G=Spin(4,4). Following ideas of Gross-Wallach, Gan-Gross-Savin, M. Weissman, and A. Pollack, we term these automorphic functions quaternionic modular forms on G, and analyze a theory of scalar-valued Fourier coefficients associated to them. Our results build parallels between the theory of quaternionic modular forms on G, and the arithmetically rich theory of genus two Siegel modular forms. The main result states that a level one quaternionic modular form on G is determined by its primitive Fourier coefficients. As an input to this result, we develop a theory of Fourier-Jacobi expansions for quaternionic modular forms, in which the non-degenerate coefficients are themselves genus two Siegel modular forms. Our primary application strengthens earlier joint work of the author with J. Johnson-Leung, I. Negrini, M. Roy, and A. Pollack. More precisely, in this dissertation we show that the level one quaternionic modular forms on SO(4,4) that arise as theta lifts from Sp(4) admit an elementary Fourier coefficient theoretic characterization, which is akin to a characterization of the classical Saito-Kurokawa subspace proven by D. Zagier
Embodied Evolution: Distributing an evolutionary algorithm in a population of robots
No full textWe introduce Embodied Evolution (EE) as a new methodology for evolutionary robotics (ER). EE uses a population of physical robots that autonomously reproduce with one another while situated in their task environment. This constitutes a fully distributed evolutionary algorithm embodied in physical robots. Several issues identified by researchers in the evolutionary robotics community as problematic for the development of ER are alleviated by the use of a large number of robots being evaluated in parallel. Particularly, EE avoids the pitfalls of the simulate-and-transfer method and allows the speed-up of evaluation time by utilizing parallelism. The more novel features of EE are that the evolutionary algorithm is entirely decentralized, which makes it inherently scalable to large numbers of robots, and that it uses many robots in a shared task environment, which makes it an interesting platform for future work in collective robotics and Artificial Life. We have built a population of eight robots and successfully implemented the first example of Embodied Evolution by designing a fully decentralized, asynchronous evolutionary algorithm. Controllers evolved by EE outperform a hand-designed controller in a simple application. We introduce our approach and its motivations, detail our implementation and initial results, and discuss the advantages and limitations of EE
Behold, Steve Bannon’s Hip-Hop Shakespeare Rewrite: \u27Coriolanus\u27
No full textIn this opinion piece originally published in the New York Times, Daniel Pollack-Pelzner examines The Thing I Am (a contemporary rewrite of Coriolanus, as envisioned by Steve Bannon and Julia Jones) in the context of Shakespeare\u27s original play. Pollack-Pelzner argues that Bannon\u27s political playbook is evident in the script for The Thing I Am — namely, a violent macho conflict to purge corrupt leaders and pave the way for a new strongman to emerge
A Red Plait. Martin Pollack: <i>Skażone krajobrazy</i>. Trans. Karolina Niedenthal. Wołowiec, Wydawnictwo Czarne, 2014, 112 pages
No full textA red plait. Martin Pollack: Skażone krajobrazy. Przeł. Karolina Niedenthal. Wołowiec, Wydawnictwo Czarne, 2014, ss. 112.
The present essay is devoted to a book by Martin Pollack entitled Skażone krajobrazy. In this volume the Austrian reporter and essayist creates a peculiar map of Central and EasternEurope. The former includes the sites of mass murders which were perpetrated in strict secrecy, and which until today have not been commemorated. Pollack argues that until this happens, the perpetrators who attempted at all costs to commit their crimes without any witnesses will prevail. A separate trait of Pollack’s essay has to do with a reflection about the “topography of terror”: the author presents with a poet’s devotion the landscapes in which acts of genocide were perpetrated. This enables the readers to examine the process of the Shoah from yet another perspective – a post‑anthropocentric perspective
