Positing the monster as that which defies classification, the essays in this collection are an ongoing engagement with that which lies outside of established boundaries. With chapters ranging from the monstrous mother or the deformed child to subjectivity in transition, this volume is not only of interest to film and gender scholars and literary and cultural theorists but also students of popular culture or horror. Its wide appeal stems from its invitation both to entertain the monster and to widen the call to and the listening for the monsters that have not yet, and perhaps must not yet, come calling back. This sense of hospitality and non-hostility is one guiding principle of this collection, suggesting that the ability to survey and research the otherwise may reveal more about the subjectivity of the self through the wisdom of the other, however monstrous the manifestation.At the interface/probing the boundaries ;v. 52.Monsters in mass mediaPopular cultureElectronic books.Monsters in mass media.Popular culture.809.93375Baumgartner Holly Lynn940841Davis Roger1971-940842MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910454258103321Hosting the monster2121608UNINA01818nam 2200577 a 450 991045006100332120200520144314.01-282-15648-9978661215648990-272-9419-4(CKB)1000000000033721(OCoLC)191951527(CaPaEBR)ebrary10088417(SSID)ssj0000140168(PQKBManifestationID)11148332(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000140168(PQKBWorkID)10029375(PQKB)11597240(MiAaPQ)EBC622488(Au-PeEL)EBL622488(CaPaEBR)ebr10088417(CaONFJC)MIL215648(EXLCZ)99100000000003372120050623d2005 uy 0engurcn|||||||||txtccrThe distribution of pronoun case forms in English[electronic resource] /Heidi QuinnAmsterdam ;Philadelphia John Benjamins Pub.c20051 online resource (423 p.)

It studies the hypoelliptic operators, which are written in Hörmander's form, by using the connection between stochastic flows and partial differential equations. The book stresses the author's view that the local geometry of any stochastic flow is determined very precisely and explicitly by a universal formula referred to as the Chen-Strichartz formula. The natural geometry associated with the Chen-Strichartz formula is the sub-Riemannian geometry, and its main tools are introduced throughouStochastic geometryFlows (Differentiable dynamical systems)Stochastic differential equationsStochastic geometry.Flows (Differentiable dynamical systems)Stochastic differential equations.519.2519.23Baudoin Fabrice1117293MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910784015503321An introduction to the geometry of stochastic flows3797125UNINA
