Lost Between the Extensivity / Intensivity Exchange

Jewish Culture between Canon and Heresy
This career-spanning anthology from prominent Jewish historian David Biale brings over a dozen of his key essays together for the first time.These pieces, written between 1974 and 2016, are all representative of a method Biale calls "counter-history": "the discovery of vital forces precisely in what others considered marginal, disreputable and irrational." The themes that have preoccupied Biale throughout the course of his distinguished career—in particular power, sexuality, blood, and secular Jewish thought—span the periods of the Bible, late antiquity, and the Middle Ages to the twentieth century.Exemplary essays in this volume argue for the dialectical relationship between modernity and its precursors in the older tradition, working together to "brush history against the grain" in order to provide a sweeping look at the history of the Jewish people.This volume of work by one of the boldest and most intellectually omnivorous Jewish thinkers of our time will be essential reading for scholars and students of Jewish studies.

Intellectual and Cultural Property : Between Market and Community
This book focuses on the fraught relationship between cultural heritage and intellectual property, in their common concern with the creative arts.The competing discourses in international legal instruments around copyright and intangible cultural heritage are the most obvious manifestation of this troubled encounter.However, this characterization of the relationship between intellectual and cultural property is in itself problematic, not least because it reflects a fossilized concept of heritage, divided between things that are fixed and moveable, tangible and intangible.Instead the book maintains that heritage should be conceived as part of a dynamic and mutually constitutive process of community formation.It argues, therefore, for a critically important distinction between the fundamentally different concepts of not only intellectual and cultural heritage/property, but also of the market and the community.For while copyright as a private property right locates all relationships in the context of the market, the context of cultural heritage relationships is the community, of which the market forms a part but does not – and, indeed, should not – control the whole.The concept of cultural property/heritage, then, is a way of resisting the reduction of everything to its value in the market, a way of resisting the commodification, and creeping propertization, of everything. And, as such, the book proposes an alternative basis for expressing and controlling value according to the norms and identity of a community, and not according to the market value of private property rights.An important and original intervention, this book will appeal to academics and practitioners in both intellectual property and the arts, as well as legal and cultural theorists with interests in this area.

What is the difference between historical culture and memory culture?
Historical culture refers to the collective understanding and interpretation of historical events, traditions, and customs within a society. It encompasses the tangible and intangible aspects of a society's past, including artifacts, monuments, and rituals. Memory culture, on the other hand, focuses on the ways in which a society actively engages with and remembers its history. It involves the processes of commemoration, memorialization, and the transmission of historical knowledge through storytelling, education, and public discourse. While historical culture is the broader framework of a society's historical identity, memory culture is the active, dynamic practice of remembering and interpreting that history.

What is the difference between low culture and high culture in history?
Low culture refers to the cultural activities and products that are considered to be more common, popular, and easily accessible to the general public. This can include things like popular music, television shows, and mass-produced literature. On the other hand, high culture refers to the cultural activities and products that are considered to be more refined, sophisticated, and often associated with the elite or educated classes. This can include things like classical music, fine art, and literature that is considered to be more intellectually challenging. The distinction between low and high culture has been a source of debate and has evolved over time, but it generally reflects the social and class divisions within a society.

Exploring New Temporal Horizons : A Conversation between Memories and Futures
In this book, leading sociologists explore how, in our digital age of connectivity, temporal acceleration and real-time simultaneity impact personal experience, relations between generations and institutional processes. The authors analyse the entanglement between past and future and explain how our ability to conceive the future is based not only upon the memory of the past, but also on forecasts about environmental crisis.Bringing memory and future studies into a unique dialogue, they highlight the crucial role of the past elaboration processes in freeing the future from the weight of trauma and renewing the ability to hope. Offering a sophisticated and innovative social theory in a burgeoning field, this is a much-needed intervention to the current ‘temporal crisis’ of social life and sociological debates.

Exploring Social Rights : Between Theory and Practice
Exploring Social Rights looks into the theoretical and practical implications of social rights.The book is organised in five parts. Part I considers theoretical aspects of social rights, and looks into their place within political and legal theory and within the human rights tradition; Part II looks at the status of social rights in international law, with reference to the challenge of globalisation and to the significance of specific regional regulation (such as the European System); Part III includes discussions of various legal systems which are of special interest in this area (Canada, South Africa, India and Israel); Part IV looks at the content of a few central social rights (such as the right to education and the right to health); and Part V discusses the relevance of social rights to distinct social groups (women and people with disabilities).The articles in the book, while using the category of social rights, also challenge the separation of rights into distinct categories and question the division of rights to 'civil' vs 'social' rights, from a perspective which considers all rights as 'social'. This book will be of interest to anyone concerned with human rights, the legal protection of social rights and social policy. 'Social rights are the stepchildren of the human rights family.Are they really 'rights'? Can courts enforce them? And does it make any difference when they try? This remarkable collection of essays by distinguished scholars offers important new responses to all the basic questions.Ranging across disciplinary and national boundaries and brimming with both theoretical and practical insights, the book is especially welcome in this moment of mounting inequalities and growing interest in the possibilities and perils of social rights.'William E Forbath, Lloyd M Bentsen Chair in Law and Professor of History, University of Texas at Austin 'At the auspicious moment of the sixtieth anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and more than half a century since the beginning of the Human Rights Revolution-a time characterized by the end of the cold war, globalization and privatization, comes this important compilation which critically revisits the international commitment to social rights, and reconceives its core distinguishing principles-from crosscutting comparative, theoretical and practical perspectives-illuminating our commitment to human security.'

Participatory Culture, Community, and Play : Learning from Reddit
What does online community look like in the age of social networking?How do participatory culture platforms reflect both their designers’ intentions and the desires of their users?In this incisive and timely work, Adrienne L. Massanari discusses how culture is created and challenged on Reddit.com, the self-proclaimed «front page of the internet».Reddit enables the sharing of original and reposted content from around the web, and provides a platform for like-minded individuals to commune around topics of interest – everything from the joys of drinking beer in a shower (/r/showerbeer) to celebrating the pleasures of tidy penmanship (/r/penmanshipporn).Massanari’s ethnographic work provides a detailed examination of the contradictions that shape Reddit’s culture and how they reflect its role as an epicenter of geek culture.The book explores the ways in which community on Reddit is formed and solidified through play and humor, and the complex ways in which Redditors come together, which demonstrate a deep capacity for altruism and charitable giving, but can easily lapse into mob action.It also explores the community’s troubling gender and racial politics and how some Redditors are carving out their own space on the site to fight back.

What is the difference between Deep Learning and Machine Learning?
Deep learning is a subset of machine learning that uses artificial neural networks to learn from data. It involves training these neural networks with large amounts of labeled data to make predictions or decisions. Machine learning, on the other hand, is a broader field that encompasses various techniques and algorithms for computers to learn from data and make predictions without being explicitly programmed. While machine learning can involve simpler algorithms like decision trees or support vector machines, deep learning typically involves more complex neural network architectures and requires a large amount of data for training.
