Space And Place As Human Coordinates written by Arianna Maiorani and has been published by this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2023-04-22 with categories.

This truly multidisciplinary book explores how culture-founding terms like 'space' and 'place' have been reconsidered, re-elaborated and how they have acquired new meanings through academic research that crosses the traditional borderline between the humanities and social sciences. All chapters explore from different perspectives how the notions of space and place are still modelling our sense of reality by investigating social and cultural phenomena of various types that evolved between the 20th and 21st centuries. The essays collected here provide evidence of the growing necessity of building bridges across disciplines to allow knowledge, in general, and academic work, in particular, to work towards new forms of epistemology. The book will be of particular interest to scholars and students in the areas of cultural studies, discourse analysis, multimodality, communication and media, linguistics, literary and film studies, anthropology and ethnography.

Smart Spaces And Places written by Ling Bian and has been published by Routledge this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2021-06-21 with Science categories.

Smart technologies have advanced rapidly throughout our society (e.g. smart energy, smart health, smart living, smart cities, smart environment, and smart society) and across geographic spaces and places. Behind these "smart" developments are a number of seminal drivers, such as social media (e.g. Twitter), sensors (drones, wearables), smartphone apps, and computing infrastructure (e.g. cloud computing). These developments have captured the enthusiasm of the public, while inevitably present unprecedented challenges and opportunities for the geographic research community. When meeting the smart challenges, are there emerging theories, methods, and observations that reveal new spatial phenomena, produce new knowledge, and foster new policies? Smart Spaces and Places addresses questions such as how to make spaces and places "smart", how the "smartness" affects the way we think spaces and places, and what role geographies play in knowledge production and decision-making in a "smart" era. The collection of 21 chapters offers stimulating discussion over the meaning of spaces, places, and smartness; scientific insights into smartness; social-political views of smartness; and policy implications of smartness. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Annals of the American Association of Geographers.

Awesome Creations And Evolution written by Kamran Pirnahad and has been published by iUniverse this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2010-03-10 with Religion categories.

Pirnahad has initially gathered the material of this book in the format of different articles as relating to crucial concepts that have affected the history, and evolution of mankind. Afterwards, He decided to transform these inspirational writings into a comprehensive book of revelations. He has received the necessary information not only through endless, sincere and honest research, continuous education, but also through faith in God, intuition, insight, vision, meditation and dreams. All contents and basic materials of this book have been thought and initially constructed and defined in the English (American) language, within its socio-cultural, historic and religious course of development. Moreover, all basic concepts have been developed on the basis of a universal conscience, and therefore, most views could be also understood and adapted by other languages, within their specific cultural environment. This book has been mostly the result of the insight and many visions the author has been receiving through the capacity of his soul, mind and spirit and within a multi-dimensional platform, therefore, there are only few references to outside sources. His book has been nevertheles based on a comprehensive library of multi faceted references in different fiels as related to the subject of his book. Pirnahad's effort to prepare and write this book is solely based on the principle that those who possess special spiritual, intellectual and creative talents, should reveal and share their thoughts, works and ideasfor the benefit of mankind. The author has reserved high hopes that at this crucial time in human evolution and history, this effort could help everyone gain a better insight into major concepts concerning faith, humanity, history, culture, languages and evolution, and develop a more meaningful and profound way of life. This book was originally edited and published on 7/22/2005 and revised and reedited on 1/20/2010

Art The Sublime And Movement written by Amanda du Preez and has been published by Routledge this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2022-01-31 with Art categories.

This book is a critical interdisciplinary approach to the study of contemporary visual culture and image studies, exploring ideas about space and place and ultimately contributing to the debates about being human in the digital age. The upward and downward pull seem in a constant contest for humanity’s attention. Both forces are powerful in the effects and affects they invoke. When tracing this iconological history, Amanda du Preez starts in the early nineteenth century, moving into the twentieth century and then spanning the whole century up to contemporary twenty-first century screen culture and space travels. Du Preez parses the intersecting pathways between Heaven and Earth, up and down, flying and falling through the concept of being “spaced out”. The idea of being “spaced out” is applied as a metaphor to trace the visual history of sublime encounters that displace Earth, gravity, locality, belonging, home, real life, and embodiment. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, visual culture, media and cultural studies, phenomenology, digital culture, mobility studies, and urban studies.

The relationship between geography and philosophy is still largely in need of being explored. Geographers and philosophers share the responsibility for that. On the one hand, geographers have considered as a dangerous deviation any attempt to elaborate an image of the Earth which was not a mere replica of a cartographic representation. On the other hand, philosophers have generally been uninterested in a discipline offering little chance for critical reflection. In light of these considerations, the purpose of this book is to identify some fundamental philosophical issues involved in the reflection of geography by adopting a perspective which looks at the discipline with a specific focus on its fundamental concepts and distinctions.

The integration of ubiquitous mobile computing resources into physical spaces can potentially affect the development, maintenance, and transformation of communities and social interactions and relations within a particular context or location. Ubiquitous mobile computing allows users to engage in activities in diverse physical locations, to access resources specific to the location, and to communicate directly or indirectly with others. Mobile technologies can potentially enhance social interactions and users' experiences, extend both social and informational resources available in context, and greatly alter the nature and quality of our interactions. Activities using mobile devices in context generate complex systems of interactions, and the benefits of ubiquity and mobility can be easily lost if that complexity is not appreciated and understood. This monograph attempts to address issues of using and designing location-based computing systems and the use of these tools to enhance social awareness, navigate in spaces, extend interactions, and influence others. Table of Contents: Introduction / Space, Place, and Context / Creating a Sense of Presence and Awareness with Mobile Tools / Mobile Computing: A Tool for Social Influence to Change Behavior / Ethical Issues and Final Thoughts
