The core of the book is formed by an extended interview of Lulaj by Italian artist and writer Marco Mazzi. This inquiry starts in the year 1997, a year of social and political upheaval in Albania, of anarchy, controversies and emigration, of toxic seeds of neoliberalism sprouting in an already wounded country, and continues to the present day, where politics, hidden behind art forms, has practically destroyed (again) every different and possible future of the country. This book also sketches out a connection between the recent Albanian political context and contemporary art by considering the realities of Albania as essential for an understanding of the dynamics of international power in contemporary art and architecture, and the role of politics therein. Broken Narrative comes in a bilingual English-Japanese edition, in part as homage to the subtle esthetics of Japanese poetry, which has inspired many of the Lulaj's works, while equally evoking the subversive films of the Red Army, active in Japan at the turn of the 1960s and '70s. Broken Narrative contains a double preface in English by Albanian scholar Jonida Gashi and in Japanese by photographer Osamu Kanemura.Broken NarrativeArtThemes, motivesArtThemes, motives.704.9Lulaj Armando1351497Mazzi MarcoNjHacINjHaclBOOK9910580299903321Broken Narrative3111347UNINA02627nam 2200409 450 991058333380332120230120002749.00-12-814598-6(CKB)4100000005879492(MiAaPQ)EBC5494765(EXLCZ)99410000000587949220180911d2018 uy 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierAdvanced rehabilitative technology neural interfaces and devices /Qingsong Ai [and three others]London, United Kingdom :Academic Press, an imprint of Elsevier,[2018]©20181 online resource (278 pages) illustrations0-12-814597-8 Introduction -- State-of-the-art -- Neuromuscular signal acquisition and processing -- sEMG-based motion recognition -- Brain signal acquisition and preprocessing -- EEG-based brain intention recognition -- Neuromuscular modeling -- Neural interface -- Conclusion and future prospects.Advanced Rehabilitative Technology: Neural Interfaces and Devices teaches readers how to acquire and process bio-signals using biosensors and acquisition devices, how to identify the human movement intention and decode the brain signal, how to design physiological and musculoskeletal models and establish the neural interfaces, and how to develop neural devices and control them efficiently using biological signals. The book takes a multidisciplinary theme between the engineering and medical field, including sections on neuromuscular/brain signal processing, human motion and intention recognition, biomechanics modelling and interfaces, and neural devices and control for rehabilitation. Each chapter goes through a detailed description of the bio-mechatronic systems used and then presents implementation and testing tactics. In addition, it details new neural interfaces and devices, some of which have never been published before in any journals or conferences. With this book, readers will quickly get up-to-speed on the most recent and future advancements in bio-mechatronics engineering for applications in rehabilitation.Rehabilitation technologyMedical rehabilitationRehabilitation technology.Medical rehabilitation.617.03Ai Qingsong963231MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910583333803321Advanced rehabilitative technology2183986UNINA
