The debasement of certain facets of mathematical work devoted to numbers and computation has played a key role in perpetuating these theses. Such a devaluation applies notably to decimal place-value numeration systems, which Reviel perceives as representing no “significant contribution to mathematical science.” I counter this view by showing the continued theoretical impact that numeration systems of this type have had. I also discuss two historiographic operations that I identify in Reviel's argument and whose use requires revision: selecting and purifying. My conclusion emphasizes how in the post World War II period historians such as Lucien Febvre invited their colleagues to focus, in contrast, on the hybrid character of cultural artefacts.","PeriodicalId":50352,"journal":{"name":"Interdisciplinary Science Reviews","volume":"47 1","pages":"331 - 350"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42561983","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

First, I introduce Netz’s main themes concerned with the achievements of two generations of Greek mathematicians in their context, including some comparisons with contemporary non-Greek mathematical cultures. My paper, then, points out the necessary conditions for the historical transmission of Archimedes’ legacy on the one hand, and more generally for the mobility of bodies of knowledge on the other hand. In particular, I elaborate my perception of such transformations while focusing on four parameters for their analysis: (a) Transformations of the objects of knowledge through the gaze, the touch, as well as through linguistic or manual representations; (b) Transformations following a change in the boundaries between domains of knowledge; (c) Transformations related to the authority of particular carriers of knowledge and (d), Tansformations related to the place of knowledge.","PeriodicalId":50352,"journal":{"name":"Interdisciplinary Science Reviews","volume":"47 1","pages":"360 - 375"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41805909","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The interview analysis yields six areas in which literature plays a role in the field of AI: research focus, career choice, community formation, science communication, ethical thinking, and modelling of sociotechnical futures. These categories are proposed as the basis of a systematic taxonomy of the role of literature in AI research, evidencing literature’s significance in AI laboratory and professional cultures. The paper presents the results of this preliminary investigation in combination with a synthesis of existing evidence in each category of influence. The aim of this hybrid approach is to cohere research and evidence in this relatively new area of study, and to present new findings contextually, in order to provide the foundations for further qualitative and quantitative research.","PeriodicalId":50352,"journal":{"name":"Interdisciplinary Science Reviews","volume":"48 1","pages":"15 - 42"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49607786","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

He was led to this approach in the context of the American avant-garde of the 1970s, in which many artists tried to set artistic creation in the field of the impersonal. In using mathematics, Tom Johnson is in search for something that might allow the music to compose itself automatically. He establishes sequences of numbers and translates them literally into melodies, harmonies or rhythms. In doing so, he manages to make the mathematical background clearly appear. He seems to think of his music as a way of reflecting mathematics in the form of audible phenomena, and ultimately, he attaches some kind of mystical dimension to this experience. Mathematical truths, as he calls them, are unquestionable. Their laws do not depend on human will, they are deeply inscribed in nature, and a composition strictly based on them is necessarily linked to the absolute.","PeriodicalId":50352,"journal":{"name":"Interdisciplinary Science Reviews","volume":"47 1","pages":"167 - 184"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43310939","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing on foundational and more recent psychological research on music and emotion, Cavett explores representative examples from Skempton’s approximately 140 piano miniatures, written from his student days in the 1960s until this year. She proposes that Skempton’s music creates a sense of expectation and thus desire through the creation of pattern repetition that is disrupted, only to be later re-engaged with, creating gratification and a sense of being ‘in the moment’. Skempton then responds to Cavett’s interpretation of his music from his unique perspective as the creator of the repertoire under consideration looking back across the trajectory of his creative career.","PeriodicalId":50352,"journal":{"name":"Interdisciplinary Science Reviews","volume":"47 1","pages":"147 - 166"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"59923523","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The focus is on Grange's Cloud Atlas (2009) for symphonic wind band, and how an adaption of the structure of David Mitchell's eponymous novel of 2004 is combined with a large-scale realisation of Birtwistle's statement to create a work employing structural eclipsing and narrative substitution that enables the 26 minutes of Grange's composition to suggest a duration twice as long. It forms the basis of a discussion involving Hertz's intertexturality to address the possible motivation for employing sources from other domains, while Jakobson's intersemiotic transmutation aids understanding of the processes involved. Finally, the desire to reveal non-musical sources is discussed using Eco's concept of ‘resonances and echoes’.","PeriodicalId":50352,"journal":{"name":"Interdisciplinary Science Reviews","volume":"47 1","pages":"199 - 214"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44396313","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This design is the most visible of several changes that have been made recently better to communicate the raison d’être of this journal. Apart from the cover image, these include a new brief statement, a longer one beneath it on ISR’s leading web page and improvements in how unsolicited submissions are processed. The image, ‘Two men discussing coming hunt’ (1961), by Inuit artist Qabaroak Qaisiya of Kinngait (formerly Cape Dorset), Nunavut, Canada, was already an altogether too indistinct and incomplete part of ISR’s cover. With communication of the journal’s fundamental purpose in mind, I wanted to foreground Qaisiya’s powerful image so that it would act emphatically on the word ‘science’, by implication enlarging its semantics beyond the natural sciences, back to the larger dimensions of scientia, as is the journal’s actual scope. This is not to exclude, push away or ‘soften’ the scientific but to stretch its meaning (Lloyd 2021). I also wanted by means of the image to suggest ISR’s communal purpose. Students of conversation and of social intelligence more broadly will, I trust, appreciate Qaisiya’s conjuring of the two hunters’ shared mind. To paraphrase cognitive scientist Andy Clark, we are nudged to attend to how, in the betweenness of their relation, they create a common understanding, hence to see that much of what matters about our intelligence is hidden not in the brain, nor invested in any technology, but brought about through the complex and integrated interactions and collaborations between ourselves, each other and the world (Clark 2001, 153–4). Thanks are due to Dorset Fine Arts, Toronto, Canada, for permission to reproduce ‘Two men discussing coming hunt’ and to the staff of Taylor & Francis for patiently translating into an effective design my notions of what would look right. I would also like to welcome to the Editorial Board, Dr Ksenia Tatarchenko (Singapore Management University). In addition I am happy to announce the appointment of our new Communications Editor, Gee Abraham.","PeriodicalId":50352,"journal":{"name":"Interdisciplinary Science Reviews","volume":"47 1","pages":"117 - 117"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47514101","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
