The construction of Karen Karnak: The multi-author-function
No full textThis thesis is situated within the comparatively recent developments of Web 2.0 and the emergence of interactive WikiMedia, and explores the mode of authorship within a Read/Write culture compared to that of a Read/Only tradition. The hypothesis of this study is that the role of the audience has become merged with the author, and as such, represents new functions and attributes, distinct from a more conventional concept of authorship, in which the roles of audience and author are more separate. Read/Write and participatory culture, as defined by this study, is focused on collaboration, and includes the influences of D.I.Y. culture, Open-Source practices and the production of text by multiple authors. Multi-authorship presents a re-thinking of several concepts which support the notion of the individual author, since the focus of multi-authorship is not on attribution and ownership of a finished text, but on the continued malleability of a text. Modes of multi-authorship, demonstrated in the use of the pseudonyms Alan Smithee and Karen Eliot, represent declarative authors whose names signify multiple origins, whilst concurrently indicating a distinct body of work. The function of these names form an important context to this study, since primary research involves the construction of an experimental mode of multi-authorship utilising WikiMedia technology and the interaction of thirty nine participants, who are invited to create a body of work under the collective pseudonym Karen Karnak. The data generated by this experiment is analysed using aspects of Michel Foucault's author-function to identify and determine power structures inherent in the WikiMedia context. The interplay of power structures, including concepts such as identity, ownership and the body of work, affect the resulting mode of authorship and contribute to the construction of Karen Karnak, suggesting further areas of research into the emerging multi-author

Technology and culture and possibly vigilance too
No full textMany have bowed before the recently acquired powers of ‘new technologies’. However, in the shift from tekhne to tekhnologia, it seems we have lost human values. These values are communicative in nature as technological progress has placed barriers like distance, web pages and ‘miscellaneous extras’ between individuals. Certain values, like the interpersonal pleasures of rendering service, have been lost as their domain of predilection has for many become fully commercially oriented, dominated by the cadence of profitability. Though the popular cultures of the artificial have surged forth to deliver us from the twentieth century, they have enabled some very superfluous dreaming—Man has succumbed to the Godly role of simulating himself and creating other beings. Communication is replaced by machines, services are rendered via many automated devices, procreation has entered the public sphere, robots and entertainment agents educate our youth and mesmerising screen-integrating ‘forms of intelligence’ even think for us. As such, this so-called culture threatens the very values Man constructed in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries to guide himself into the future. But what if the phenomena mentioned just reflect our new values? The author presents an investigation into this cultural shift, its impact on human practices with regards the mind and the body and evokes some pros and cons of generally accepting the ‘Culture of the Artificial’
Language Change and SA-OT: The case of sentential negation
No full textSimulated Annealing for Optimality Theory (SA-OT) updates Optimality Theory by adding a model of performance to a theory of linguistic competence. Our aim is to show that SA-OT can contribute to language change simulations. Performance "errors" are considered to be one of the causes of variation and change. We have chosen to model the evolution of sentential negation (SN). The descriptive background adopts Jespersen's Cycle, according to which the evolution of sentential negation follows three main stages (1. pre-verbal, 2. discontinuous, and 3. post-verbal). Therefore, we advance a novel model for SN, based on SA-OT. It reproduces the three pure and the two observed mixed stages, whereas it correctly predicts the lack of an intermediate stage between 3 and 1. The success of the approach corroborates the computational, performance-based approach to the data. Finally, we employ the iterated learning paradigm to reproduce historical changes in a "simulated corpus study". This enterprise turns out to be more difficult than one would naively believe.Appeared open access as: Computational Linguistics in the Netherlands Journal (CLIN), vol. 1 (2011), pp. 21-40, and is available at http://www.clinjournal.org/sites/default/files/Lopopolo.pdfA.

„Arno Schmidt ist ein Sonderfall“. Monitum einer Kritik Marcel Reich-Ranickis
No full textIn einigen Aspekten waren sich Marcel Reich-Ranicki und Arno Schmidt einander recht ähn-lich. Denn obwohl beide zur gleichen Zeit im Literaturbetrieb der Bundesrepublik Deutschland aktiv waren, hat sich ihr Schaffen gegenseitig nicht berührt. Abgesehen von gelegentlichen Erwähnungen hat sich der Kritiker nur einmal ausführlich über den Autor geäußert. In seinem Schmidt-Essay geht Reich-Ranicki streng mit dem Autor ins Gericht. Daran lässt sich einerseits das Schmidt-Bild Reich-Ranickis ablesen, andererseits werden aber auch allgemeinere Maßstäbe und Methoden seiner literaturkritischen Arbeit sichtbar. In diesem Fall gestattet die geringe Menge des vorhandenen Materials einen genauen Blick auf seine Arbeitsweise.Par quelques aspects, Marcel Reich-Ranicki et Arno Schmidt se ressemblaient beaucoup. Car bien qu’actifs en même temps dans le monde littéraire de la République fédérale, ils se sont ignorés tous les deux. Mises à part quelques évocations occasionnelles, le critique ne s’est exprimé qu’une seule fois de manière détaillée sur l’auteur. Dans l’essai qu’il consacre à Arno Schmidt, Reich-Ranicki fait le procès de l’écrivain. Dans cette critique se lit d’une part l’image que Reich-Ranicki se fait de Schmidt, d’autre part apparaissent aussi les méthodes et critères plus généraux de son travail de critique littéraire. La faible quantité de matériau présent permet ici un regard précis sur sa méthode de travail.In some aspects, Marcel Reich-Ranicki and Arno Schmidt were quite similar. For although both were active at the same time in the literature business of the Federal Republic of Germany, their work has not affected each other. Apart from occasional mentions, the critic has commented only once in detail about the author. In his Schmidt essay, Reich-Ranicki severely deals with the author. On the one hand, the Schmidt image of Reich-Ranicki can be read off, on the other hand, more general criteria and methods of his literary critical work become visible. In this case, the small amount of material present allows a close look at its operation

Assessment of land cover changes on Subi Reef in Truong Sa Islands, Vietnam using multi-temporal Landsat images
No full textIn this article, the author proposes that Landsat images should be pre-processed using the DOS method for atmospheric correction and the Gram-Schmidt method for image enhancement. According to the results, the overall classification accuracy of multi-temporal images achieved over 85%, and Landsat images are suitable for classifying land cover on small islands in Truong Sa Islands, such as Subi Reef
