Today the Topkapi Palace in Istanbul seems a haphazard aggregate of modest buildings no longer capable of conveying imperial power. Yet it is at once the most celebrated of all Islamic palaces and the least understood. Glru Necipoglu brings together largely unpublished sources, both written and visual, along with information derived from the architectural remains to uncover the processes through which the meaning of the palace was once produced, before it came to represent a stereotyped microcosm of oriental despotism imbued with the exotic otherness of the East. She relocates the Topkapi in its historical context, a context that included not only the circumstances of its patronage, but the complex interaction of cultural practices, ideologies, and social codes of recognition. Necipoglu focuses on the imperial iconograpy of palatial forms that lack monumentality, axiality, and rational-geometric planning principles to decipher codes of grandeur that are no longer obvious to the modern observer. She reconstructs the architectural and ceremonial impact of the palace through a step-by-step tour of its buildings, demonstrating how the palace was experienced as a processional sequence of separate courts and seemingly disjointed architectural elements that were nevertheless integrated into a coherent whole by passage through time and space. Far more than an analysis of the architectural program of the palace, Architecture, Ceremonial, and Power raises questions and provides answers to fundamental concerns about the ideology of absolute sovereignty, the interplay between architecture and ritual, and the changing perceptions of a building through the centuries, a building that drew upon a wide range of Palatine traditions, mythical, Islamic, Turco-Mongol, Romano-Byzantine, and Italian Renaissance.Architecture, OttomanTurkeyIstanbulIstanbul (Turkey)Buildings, structures, etcTurkeyCourt and courtiersSocial life and customsPalacesTurkeyARCHITECTURE/Architectural History/GeneralArchitecture, Ottoman725/.17/0949618Necipoğlu Gülru865282OCoLC-POCoLC-PBOOK9910901896703321Architecture, ceremonial, and power4273472UNINA04781nam 22006855 450 991029848900332120200919195156.03-319-13224-510.1007/978-3-319-13224-2(CKB)3710000000356816(EBL)1974104(SSID)ssj0001451886(PQKBManifestationID)11789697(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001451886(PQKBWorkID)11479332(PQKB)11599640(DE-He213)978-3-319-13224-2(MiAaPQ)EBC1974104(PPN)184497957(EXLCZ)99371000000035681620150212d2015 u| 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrIncome Modeling and Balancing A Rigorous Treatment of Distribution Patterns /by Thomas Kämpke, Franz Josef Radermacher1st ed. 2015.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Springer,2015.1 online resource (193 p.)Lecture Notes in Economics and Mathematical Systems,0075-8442 ;679Description based upon print version of record.3-319-13223-7 Includes bibliographical references and index.Lorenz curves, orders and redistribution: Introduction -- The Generalized Inverse of Distribution Functions -- Lorenz Densities and Lorenz Curves -- Lorenz Curves and Partial Orders -- Transfer and Distribution Approximation -- Societal Utility and the Atkinson Theorem -- Lorenz Curves and Models: Pareto Distribution, Self-Similarity and Empirics -- Proportionality-induced Distribution Laws -- Preferences and Coalitions.This book presents a rigorous treatment of the mathematical instruments available for dealing with income distributions, in particular Lorenz curves and related methods. The methods examined allow us to analyze, compare and modify such distributions from an economic and social perspective. Though balanced income distributions are key to peaceful coexistence within and between nations, it is often difficult to identify the right kind of balance needed, because there is an interesting interaction with innovation and economic growth. The issue of justice, as discussed in Thomas Piketty’s bestseller “Capital in the Twenty-First Century” or in the important book “The Price of Inequality” by Nobel laureate Joseph Stiglitz, is also touched on. Further, there is a close connection to the issue of democracy in the context of globalization. One highlight of the book is its rigorous treatment of the so-called Atkinson theorem and some extensions, which help to explain under which type of societal utility functions nations tend to operate either in the direction of more balance or less balance. Finally, there are some completely new insights into changing the balance pattern of societies and the kind of coalitions between richer and poorer parts of society to organize political support in democracies in either case. Oxford University's Sir Tony Atkinson, well known for his so-called Atkinson theorem, writes in his foreword to the book: “[The authors] contribute directly to the recent debates that are going on in politics. […] with this book the foundation of arguments concerning a proper balance in income distribution in the sense of identifying an ‘efficient inequality range’ has got an additional push from mathematics, which I appreciate very much.”.Lecture Notes in Economics and Mathematical Systems,0075-8442 ;679EconomicsEconomic policyGame theoryEconomic Theory/Quantitative Economics/Mathematical Methodshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W29000Economic Policyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W34010Game Theory, Economics, Social and Behav.
