Leading media scholars consider the social and cultural changes that come with the contemporary development of ubiquitous computing. Ubiquitous computing and our cultural life promise to become completely interwoven: technical currents feed into our screen culture of digital television, video, home computers, movies, and high-resolution advertising displays. Technology has become at once larger and smaller, mobile and ambient. In Throughout , leading writers on new media -- including Jay David Bolter, Mark Hansen, N. Katherine Hayles, and Lev Manovich -- take on the crucial challenges that ubiquitous and pervasive computing pose for cultural theory and criticism. The thirty-four contributing researchers consider the visual sense and sensations of living with a ubicomp culture; electronic sounds from the uncanny to the unremarkable; the effects of ubicomp on communication, including mobility, transmateriality, and infinite availability; general trends and concrete specificities of interaction designs; the affectivity in ubicomp experiences, including performances; context awareness; and claims on the real in the use of such terms as augmented reality and mixed reality.

This study analyzes the cultural imagery of the Manggaraian SpeechCommunities (MSC) in "Nominal Marking System (NMS) of Bahasa Manggaraiand Its Interrelation with Naming Systems of Entity (NSE): A CulturalLinguistic Study". The result of the analysis is useful for both the academic worldand the life of the society, especially the MSC.The study conducted in Manggarai Regency, Flores, East Nusa TenggaraProvince, is qualitative. The data were obtained through observation, elicitation,interview, documentation study, listening, and note taking. For this reason, a numberof questions were prepared in a written form. The data obtained were analyzedthrough steps of selection, listing, translation, and interpretation of the formallinguistic meaning and cultural imagery of the MSC. The result of the data analysisis informally reported and verbally described.To analyze the data, the Cultural Linguistic Theory was applied andsupported by the structural and the dynamic theories. To know the chance and toinspire the study, a number of previous studies were reviewed. To easily understand,direct, and limit the discussion of the study, a number of basic concepts weredefined.Syntactically and semantically, there are four kinds of nominal markers(NMs) of BM. NMs in the forms of personal pronouns (PP): hau 'you SG', hia/hi'he/she', meu 'you-PLUR', and ise 'they' mark proper nouns (PN) as theSubject/Agent or Object/Patient in a clause bearing the meaning of subject or objectposition of a clause and not common nouns (CN). NMs in the forms of de/ di/ disemark the noun (CN/pronoun or PN) as the possessor of the possessed noun in aclause bearing the meaning of possession. NMs in the forms of le/ li/ lise mark thenoun (CN/pronoun or PN) as the agent diathesis of an action targeted to a noun asthe patient diathesis in a clause bearing the meaning of addition or the target/localityof an action. And NMs in the forms of ge/ gi/ gise mark the noun (CN/pronoun orPN) added to another noun or become the target/locality of an action taking place ina clause bearing the meaning of addition or the target/locality of an action.Beside the four meanings above, NMS of BM also bears a number of themeanings, as stated in the following. The meaning of kinship intimacy is marked bythe PN marking the kinship names. The meanings of individual and grouprepresentations are revealed by the singular PN itself simultaneously by the plural PN. The meaning of priority to a majority group is revealed by the morpheme of theSubject Pronominal Copy fused in one of clause functions (Predicator, Object, andAdverb). The meaning of group of representation is revealed by plural markers onthe singular PN representing other PN that is physically absent from a clause.The NMS of BM has its own phonological and graphological characteristics.Phonology deals with the pronunciation and graphology with the writing of the NMand the noun marked in a clause.The four NMs are grouped into two on the basis of the noun marked, i.e.Common Nominal Markers (CNM), covering de, le, and ge and Proper NominalMarkers (PNM), covering NM in the forms of PP, PNM of possessive di/ dise, PNMof agent diathesis li/ lise, and PNM of combined/targeted gi/ gise. The four PNMsare also grouped into two based on the number of the proper noun (PN) marked, i.ethe singular PNM: hau, hia/ hi, di, li, gi, and the plural PNM: meu, ise, dise, lise,gise.Other linguistic facts in BM seem to appear, such as the common syntacticpattern of BM: Predicator (V) – Object/Patient (N) – Subject/Agent (N), SubjectPronominal Copy, Possessive Pronominal Copy, and nominal repetitions meaningplural in BM are not found.The NSE is given to entities humans, domestic animals: dogs and horses,static objects made by human: cleave and whip, and objects of natural environment:rocks, trees, water sources, and wild animals. The MSC has four kinds of names, i.e.Manggaraian Names (MN), Catholic/Christian Names, Kinship Term Names, andPseudonyms. The interrelation between the NMS and the NSE bears a number ofcultural imageries: differentiation, animacy, honorific, solidarity, identity, prestige,democracy, and work. Initial consonant, especially in proper names, is consideredimpolite, cruel, strong, energetic, while initial vowels polite or gentle.The NMS of BM has undergone significant changed. The change has onlyoccurred on the lexicons, such as changing from BM to BI, even English. The NSEof the MSC has changed significantly. The MN has changed its phonologicalcharacteristics, the number of unit names, the tendency of the children's namesfollowing their fathers' names, the decrease in assonance practice in proper namesand some pseudonyms, naming of dogs is not only based on the colour of their fur,the declination of the practice of naming a cleave and a whip, and the PN of theobjects of the natural environment.

Ibn Khaldun is one of the important thinkers of Islamic philosophy because of his original ideas. This importance is not only a critical point of view, but also because it offers solution suggestions and new intellectual approaches. The approaches that he put forward in relation to his education activities also contain determinations that remain valid for today. The purpose of the society is to transfer their culture to the next generation. According to Ibn Khaldun, this is provided with the concept of asabiyyah. But at this point the relationship between civilization and asabiyyah is remarkable. As education increases, increases culture and civilization, however, asabiyyah is reduced. At this point, we will examine the role of asabiyyah in education. In this context, we will investigate the transfer of value to future generations. In the same way, we will also discuss discontinuities in the values area. Cultural transmission is necessary for continuation of presence of community. At this point a civilized life is important. In this context, particularly on the basis of Ibn Khaldun's philosophy, we will investigate the role of education in values transfer and cultural continuity. In this context, the study will focus on the role and importance of education and training in the formation of individual and social field. Ibn Khaldun's understanding of science and the importance of the classification of sciences will be discussed in the study. From all of these, how a healthy individual will be shaped as a result of education and training activities will be examined. The stages in which the individual will know himself, become a member of the society and contribute to it will be discussed. ; İbn Haldun, özgün fikirleri sebebiyle İslam felsefe geleneğinin önemli düşünürlerden biridir. Bu önem, onun ortaya koyduğu düşünüş biçiminin sadece eleştirel bir bakış açısı olmayıp, çözüm önerileri ve yeni fikri yaklaşımlar ortaya koyması sebebiyledir. Onun eğitim faaliyetleri konusunda ortaya koyduğu yaklaşımlar bugün için de geçerliliğini koruyan tespitler barındırmaktadır. Toplumların amacı, sahip olduğu kültürel değerleri gelecek nesillere aktarmaktır. İbn Haldun'a göre bu, asabiyye kavramı ile sağlanır. Fakat bu noktada medeniyetle asabiyyet arasındaki ilişki dikkatli incelenmesi gereken bir husustur. İbn Haldun'a göre eğitim arttıkça, kültür ve uygarlık artarken, asabiyye duygusu azalır. Biz de çalışmamızda buradan hareketle eğitimde asabiyenin rolünü inceleyeceğiz. Bu bağlamda, değerlerin gelecek nesillere aktarılmasında asabiyyenin rolünü ve değerler alanındaki kopuklukların sebeplerini tartışacağız. Toplumun varlığının devam etmesi için kültürel aktarım zorunludur. Bu da medeni bir yaşamda gerçekleşir. Tüm bunlardan hareketle çalışmamızda eğitimin değerler aktarımı ve kültürel süreklilik üzerindeki rolünü İbn Haldun merkezli araştıracağız. Bu bağlamda çalışma, bireysel ve toplumsal sahanın şekillenişinde eğitim ve öğretimin rolü ve önemi üzerinde yoğunlaşacaktır. İbn Haldun'un ilim anlayışı ve ilimler tasnifinin eğitim öğretim hayatı açısından önemi de çalışmada müzakere edilecektir. Tüm bunlardan eğitim ve öğretim faaliyetlerinin neticesinde sağlıklı bir bireyin nasıl şekilleneceği incelenecektir. Bireyin kendini bilmesi, toplumun bir ferdi olması ve ona katkı sağlamasının hangi aşamalardan geçtiği müzakere edilecektir.

Wie vergleichen wir, wenn wir lesen? Und wie lesen wir, wenn wir vergleichen? Die hier versammelten Beiträge widmen sich Verknüpfungen und Interferenzen zwischen Praktiken des Vergleichens und Praktiken des Lesens. Zentral für ihre Analysen sind drei Diskursfelder, in denen Literatur vergleichend gelesen wird: die Literaturwissenschaft, die Literaturkritik und die Literatur selbst. Im Fokus steht dabei, wie Praktiken des Vergleichens zwischen diesen Feldern zirkulieren und sich auf die Lektüre von Literatur auswirken - und wie vergleichendes Lesen in diesem Prozess Literatur als epistemisches, ästhetisches oder soziales Objekt hervorbringt.

How can performing be transformed into cognition? Knowing in Performing describes dynamic processes of artistic knowledge production in music and the performing arts. Knowing refers to how processual, embodied, and tacit knowledge can be developed from performative practices in music, dance, theatre, and film. By exploring the field of artistic research as a constantly transforming space for participatory and experimental artistic practices, this anthology points the way forward for researchers, artists, and decision-makers inside and outside universities of the arts.

"Ecologies of Gender: Contemporary Nature Relations and the Nonhuman Turn examines the role of gender in recent debates about the nonhuman turn in the humanities, and critically explores the implications for a contemporary theory of gender and nature relations. The interdisciplinary contributions in this volume each provide theoretical reflections based on an analysis of specific naturecultural processes. They reveal how "ecologies of gender" are constructed through aesthetic, epistemological, political, technological and economic practices that shape multispecies and material interrelations as well as spatial and temporal orderings. The volume includes contributions from cultural anthropology, cultural studies, film studies, literary studies, media studies, philosophy, and theatre studies. The essays are organized around four key dimensions of an "ecological" understanding of gender as described above: "creatures", "materials", "spaces" and "temporalities". The overall aim of the volume Ecologies of Gender: Nature Relations and the Nonhuman Turn is to explore the potentialities and limitations of the nonhuman turn for a critical analysis and theory of ecologies of gender, and thereby make an original contribution to both the environmental humanities and gender studies. This book will be of great interest to scholars and students from the interdisciplinary field of the environmental humanities and environmental studies more broadly, as well as from gender studies and cultural theory"--

The author of this article continues the discussion that unfolded on the pages of the journal "State and Law" about the monographic study of Professor S.N. Baburin "The Moral State: A Russian perspective on the values of constitutionalism". The article deals with aspects related to the moral and national-cultural values of constitutionalism. The study is conducted in a historical retrospective, affecting the ideas of the formation of constitutionalism, the formation of constitutional legal consciousness, the formation of constitutional institutions. The article raises a number of modern issues related to the constitutional reform of 2020, the formation of a new constitutional model that reflects the state-national identity, the formation of a digital society.

Understanding how globalization affects consumers is a key concern of international marketing research. Consumer culture theory (CCT) studies contribute to this stream of research by critically examining how globalization affects consumers under different cultural conditions. We offer a systematic narrative synthesis of 30 years of CCT globalization research to gain perspective on this important stream of research. We identify three theoretical perspectives – that is, homogenization, glocalization and deterritorialization – that have shaped the ways in which CCT scholars have approached globalization phenomena. We discuss each perspective with regard to its underlying notion of culture, its assumptions of power relations between countries and the role that it ascribes to individuals in globalization processes. We problematize these perspectives and show how CCT research has challenged and extended each perspective, focusing specifically on consumer empowerment, consumer identity and the symbolic meaning of global brands as substantial domains. Lastly, we discuss avenues for future consumer cultural globalization research.

This book is the first monograph on the theme of "new materialism," an emerging trend in 21st century thought that has already left its mark in such fields as philosophy, cultural theory, feminism, science studies, and the arts. The first part of the book contains elaborate interviews with some of the most prominent new materialist scholars of today: Rosi Braidotti, Manuel DeLanda, Karen Barad, and Quentin Meillassoux. The second part situates the new materialist tradition in contemporary thought by singling out its transversal methodology, its position on sexual differing, and by developing the ethical and political consequences of new materialism.
