Genesis Breyer P-Orridge : Sacred Intent : Conversations with Carl Abrahamsson 1986–2019
No full text"Three decades of conversations with Genesis Breyer P-Orridge, provocateur, artist, gender revolutionary and leader of the bands Throbbing Gristle, Psychic TV and more
Published for legendary artist and musician Genesis Breyer P-Orridge’s 70th birthday in 2020, Sacred Intent gathers conversations between Breyer P-Orridge and his friend and collaborator, the Swedish author Carl Abrahamsson. From the first 1986 fanzine-based interview about current projects, philosophical insights, magical workings, international travels, art theory and gender revolutions, to 2019’s thoughts on life and death in the the shadow of battling leukaemia, Sacred Intent is a unique journey in which the art of conversation blooms to the highest degree." -- Distributor's website
The Genesis of Feynman Diagrams
No full textIn a detailed reconstruction of the genesis of Feynman diagrams the author reveals that their development was constantly driven by the attempt to resolve fundamental problems concerning the uninterpretable infinities that arose in quantum as well as classical theories of electrodynamic phenomena. Accordingly, as a comparison with the graphical representations that were in use before Feynman diagrams shows, the resulting theory of quantum electrodynamics, featuring Feynman diagrams, differed significantly from earlier versions of the theory in the way in which the relevant phenomena were conce
Genesis
No full textThe book of Genesis has been called “the most important book ever written.” As the first book of the Bible, it not only contains or anticipates all the biblical truths, it is also the book that, more than any other biblical book, has impacted the whole of Scripture, and theology at large. Without the book of Genesis, the Bible would be incomprehensible.
According to author Jacques Doukhan, DHL, ThD, “The book of Genesis is…the ideal place to start our study, not only because it will help us understand our origins and destination, but also because it teaches us how to engage with and reach out to others. In the process we will be surprised by a God of love and mercy, whose first revelation is reported in the book of Genesis.” (Publisher web site)https://digitalcommons.andrews.edu/books/1021/thumbnail.jp
A New Framework for the Citation Indexing Paradigm
No full textA new citation indexing paradigm is proposed: the cascading citation indexing framework (c2IF, for short). It improves the way research publications are assessed for their impact in promoting science and technology. Given a collection of articles and their citation graph, citations are considered at the (article, author) level. Each one article is uniquely identified by means of the Digital Object Identifier (DOI, http://www.doi.org). To identify each one author uniquely, a Universal Author Identifier (UAI) scheme is established. In addition to the citations directly made to a given (article, author) pair, citation paths that target each one citing article are also considered. The granularity of the paradigm is further increased by introducing the concept of the chord, whereby a citation path of length one co-exists with paths of length two or higher, involving the same source- and target- articles. The c2IF output emerges in the form
of a medal standings table, analogous to the one that ranks teams at athletic events: when two (article, author) pairs receive the same number of (direct) citations, the one that is cited by more popular articles (i.e. articles that comprise targets to a larger number of paths in the citation graph), is assigned a higher rank value
The intertextual reception of Genesis 1-3 in Irenaeus of Lyons
No full textThis thesis explores the intertextual nature of Irenaeus’ reading of Genesis 1-3. In this study, we assume a different mode of investigation than previous works on Irenaeus’ use of scripture. Drawing from contemporary discussions on intertextuality in Fishbane, Boyrin, Hays, and Young, we challenge a tradition of investigation into Irenaeus’ exegesis that has marginalized the significance of scriptural networking inherent to his hermeneutic. This perspective is evident in the previous works on Irenaeus’ reading of Genesis in Orbe, Jacobsen, Kannengiesser, Steenberg, and Holsinger-Friesen. This thesis, on the other hand, brings together an appreciation for Irenaeus’ hermeneutic with respect to his exegesis of Gen 1-3. We show that in every instance Irenaeus interprets Gen 1-3, not in isolation, but in correlation with other texts by means of a variety of intertextual reading strategies that shape his theological polemic. In chapter one we investigate the nature of Irenaeus’ hermeneutical orientation based upon studies of patristic exegesis and his own descriptions of the exegetical task. We show that Irenaeus purposes to interconnect texts in his refutation and exegesis and we formulate a methodology that appreciates his reading of Gen 1-3 within this theological networking of texts. In chapters 2-6, we provide a literary analysis of the echoes, allusions, and citations of Gen 1-3 in each book of Adversus Haereses. In each case we isolate the allusions to Gen 1-3 and the corresponding interrelated texts that form a hermeneutically symbiotic relationship with Gen 1-3. We show how these textual relationships yield a more comprehensive appreciation for the meaning and function of Gen 1-3 in Irenaeus. In chapter 7 we conclude with a summary and cumulative evaluation of the intertextual relationships fashioned with Gen 1-3 and the reading strategies that guide his intertextual use of Gen 1-3. In doing so, this thesis exposes the intricacies of Irenaeus’ theological and intertextual reading of Gen 1-3 and the various ways that Irenaeus harmonizes scripture

« Je suis un homme-plume » : instruments d’écriture, impressions d’auteurs
No full textCette contribution propose de décrire les propriétés praxéologiques de différents instruments d’écriture et d’interroger leur rôle dans la genèse d’une œuvre. Pour ce faire, l’auteur adopte une perspective d’analyse du discours autogénétique qui prend appui sur le témoignage d’un peu plus de quatre-vingts autrices et auteurs. La mise en perspective des imaginaires de scripteurs sur leurs outils permet ainsi de dégager une série de contraintes sensori-motrices et de déterminations matérielles affectant l’écriture. En conclusion, l’étude invite à distinguer deux types d’« impressions » laissées par les instruments sur les écrivains qui influencent, chacune à leur manière, la forme finale de l’œuvre : une résistance technique (non-coïncidence entre les capacités du corps écrivant et les spécificités technologiques de l’instrument) et une relation sensuelle (impressions sensorielles provoquées par les propriétés matérielles de l’instrument).This contribution attempts to describe the praxeological properties of different writing instruments and to question their role in the genesis of a literary work. To do this, the author adopts an analytical stance on autogenetic discourse based on the testimony of just over eighty female and male authors. Studying how writers think about their tools allows for the theorization of a series of co-occurring sensorial constraints and material factors affecting writing. In conclusion, the study distinguishes between two types of “impressions” left by the instruments on the writers that influence, each in their own way, the final form of the work: a technical resistance (the non-coincidence between the abilities of the writing body and the specific technologies of the instrument) and a sensual relation (sensorial impressions provoked by the material properties of the instrument).In diesem Beitrag werden die praxeologischen Eigenschaften verschiedener Schreibwerkzeuge beschrieben und ihre Rolle bei der Entstehung eines Werkes hinterfragt. Zu diesem Zweck nimmt der Autor eine Perspektive der autogenetischen Diskursanalyse ein, die sich auf die Aussagen von etwas mehr als achtzig Autorinnen und Autoren stützt. Die Vorstellungswelten der Schreiber über ihre Werkzeuge werden in eine Perspektive gesetzt, um eine Reihe von sensomotorischen Zwängen und materiellen Determinationen, die das Schreiben beeinflussen, herauszuarbeiten. Abschließend lädt die Studie dazu ein, zwei Arten von „Eindrücken“ zu unterscheiden, die die Schreibgeräte bei den Schriftstellern hinterlassen und die jeweils auf ihre Weise die endgültige Form des Werks beeinflussen: einen technischen Widerstand (Nichtübereinstimmung zwischen den Fähigkeiten des schreibenden Körpers und den technologischen Besonderheiten des Geräts) und eine sinnliche Beziehung (sensorische Eindrücke, die durch die materiellen Eigenschaften des Geräts hervorgerufen werden).Esta contribución propone describir las propiedades praxeológicas de los diferentes instrumentos de escritura y cuestionar su papel en la génesis de una obra. Para ello, se adopta una perspectiva de análisis del discurso autogenerado a partir del testimonio de algo más de ochenta autores. Al poner en perspectiva la imaginación de los escritores sobre sus herramientas, se puede identificar una serie de limitaciones sensoriomotrices y determinaciones materiales que afectan a la escritura. En conclusión, el estudio nos invita a distinguir dos tipos de “impresiones” que dejan los instrumentos en los escritores, cada una de las cuales influye, a su manera, en la forma final de la obra: una resistencia técnica (no-coincidencia entre las capacidades del cuerpo de escritura y las especificidades tecnológicas del instrumento) y una relación sensual (impresiones sensoriales provocadas por las propiedades materiales del instrumento).Esta contribuição propõe descrever as propriedades praxiológicas de diferentes instrumentos de escrita e questionar o seu papel na génese de uma obra. Para isso, o autor adopta uma perspectiva de análise do discurso autogenético baseada no testemunho de pouco mais de oitenta autoras e autores. Pôr em perspectiva os imaginários dos escritores sobre os seus utensílios permite, assim, identificar uma série de constrangimentos sensório-motores e de determinações materiais que afetam a escrita. Em conclusão, o estudo convida-nos a distinguir dois tipos de “impressões” deixadas pelos instrumentos nos escritores, os quais influenciam, cada um à sua maneira, a forma final da obra: uma resistência técnica (não coincidência entre as capacidades de quem escreve e as especificidades tecnológicas do instrumento) e uma relação sensual (impressões sensoriais provocadas pelas propriedades materiais do instrumento).L’articolo si propone di descrivere le proprietà prasseologiche di diversi strumenti di scrittura e di mettere in discussione il loro ruolo nella genesi di un’opera. L’autore adotta una prospettiva di analisi autogenetica del discorso, basata sulla testimonianza di più di ottanta autori. Mettere in prospettiva l’immaginazione degli scrittori sui loro strumenti rende così possibile l’identificazione di una serie di vincoli sensorio-motori e di determinazioni materiali che condizionano la scrittura. Lo studio invita, in conclusione, a distinguere due tipi di “impressioni” che gli strumenti di scrittura impongono al corpo degli scrittori e che influenzano, ciascuno a modo suo, la forma finale dell’opera letteraria: una resistenza tecnica (non coincidenza tra le capacità fisiche dello scrittore e le specificità tecnologiche dello strumento) e una relazione sensuale (impressioni sensoriali causate dalle proprietà materiali dello strumento)
The Coastal Genesis 2 research programme: Outputs, Outcomes and Impact
No full textThe long-term sediment demand of the Dutch coast is integral to the current Dutch Coastal Flood and Erosion Risk Management policy. The Coastal Genesis 2 research programme was initiated to address the sustainability of this policy under sea level rise by focusing on key uncertainties in the conceptual model of the sediment demand of the Dutch coast. The substantive scientific contributions of the Coastal Genesis 2 research programme are analysed in this paper by applying an output-outcome-impact framework. The direct outputs of the programme are categorised in terms of the knowledge types of a 5-element framework, namely measurement data, simulation models, system understanding, conceptual models, and policy and practice. The research outcomes arise from the interactions of these knowledge types. Our analysis of these outcomes highlights that synthesising new scientific insights into shared conceptual models is critical to achieving impact in policy and practice. In the Dutch situation, a new shared conceptual model of the long-term sediment demand enabled the development of four potential nourishment strategies aiming to meet the strategic goals of the Coastal Flood and Erosion Risk Management policy on a timescale up to 20 years. In 2021, the Minister of Infrastructure and Water Management officially articulated her intention to adopt the advised nourishment strategy from 2024 onwards. This represents a lasting impact of the Coastal Genesis 2 research programme in policy and practice. Further, the insight regarding the pivotal role of shared conceptual models as intermediary between science, policy and practice may prove useful in the design of future research programmes aiming to influence policy.Policy AnalysisCoastal Engineerin
