Sommario/riassunto

Dieses Buch vermittelt Geschichte durch Theorie und Theorie durch Geschichte. Es begreift die überwältigende Vielfalt der Architektur der Welt von den Anfängen bis heute als integralen Bestandteil der menschlichen Zivilisation und fragt unter anderem nach der Bedeutung von Konzept und Form, nach dem Unterschied zwischen Architektur und Spektakel oder nach der Gültigkeit des Dogmas „less is more“. Die unverbrauchte Perspektive macht den Band zur inspirierenden Lektüre – nicht nur für Studienanfänger der Architektur, sondern für alle, die wissen möchten, um was es in der Architektur eigentlich geht – und



ging.

This history-by-theory and theory-by-history book helps its reader make sense of the chaotic multitude of world architecture through time. In contrast to other history books this book is brief but to the point, perceiving architecture as part of human civilisation. Its’ focus on issues such as: “is concept and form or matter the most important ‘component’ of architecture?”, “how close is architecture to spectacle?”, “is less really more?” makes it a good reading for both freshmen students of architecture and the reader who wants to get a grasp of what architecture is–and has been–really about.

Sommario/riassunto

Le succès d'un service comme Netflix qui propose un flux continu de films et de séries télévisées sur Internet montre un engouement de plus en plus important pour les œuvres en séries. La question de savoir pourquoi notre esprit réagit si bien à une suite de films, une série télévisée ou à des romans en plusieurs volumes se pose alors. Qu'est-ce qui rend ces récits fragmentés si attractifs ? Pourquoi la division d'une histoire en épisodes fascine tant ?  L'objectif de ce livre est dès lors simple et offre quelques réponses à ces questions en tentant de comprendre l'impact de la sérialité sur l'imaginaire. L'ouvrage Imaginaire sériel propose donc de revenir sur les mécanismes de réception d'une œuvre sérielle, sur l'importance de leur matérialité mais aussi sur le rôle de la répétition et de la temporalité.  Quel que soit votre médium de consommation préféré, ce livre vous accompagnera sur le chemin de la sérialité en suivant les pas de Charles Dickens, Michel Butor et de nombreux autres artistes œuvrant aussi bien dans le monde de la bande dessinée que du dessin animé, de la danse, de la peinture ou de la télévision.

Sommario/riassunto

This monograph poses a series of key problems of evidential reasoning and argumentation. It then offers solutions achieved by applying recently developed computational models of argumentation made available in artificial intelligence. Each problem is posed in such a way that the solution is easily understood. The book progresses from confronting these problems and offering solutions to them, building a useful general method for evaluating arguments along the way. It provides a hands-on survey explaining to the reader how to use current argumentation methods and concepts that are increasingly being implemented in more precise ways for the application of software tools in computational argumentation systems. It shows how the use of these tools and methods requires a new approach to the concepts of knowledge and explanation suitable for diverse settings, such as issues of public safety and health, debate, legal argumentation, forensic evidence, science education, and the use of expert opinion evidence in personal and public deliberations.
