Beyond First Order Model Theory Volume I and II

Beyond First Order Model Theory Volume I and II

Model theory is the meta-mathematical study of the concept of mathematical truth. After Afred Tarski coined the term Theory of Models in the early 1950’s it rapidly became one of the central most active branches of mathematical logic. In the last few decades ideas that originated within model theory have provided powerful tools to solve problems in a variety of areas of classical mathematics including algebra combinatorics geometry number theory and Banach space theory and operator theory. The two volumes of Beyond First Order Model Theory present the reader with a fairly comprehensive vista rich in width and depth of some of the most active areas of contemporary research in model theory beyond the realm of the classical first-order viewpoint. Each chapter is intended to serve both as an introduction to a current direction in model theory and as a presentation of results that are not available elsewhere. All the articles are written so that they can be studied independently of one another. The first volume is an introduction to current trends in model theory and contains a collection of articles authored by top researchers in the field. It is intended as a reference for students as well as senior researchers. This second volume contains introductions to real-valued logic and applications abstract elementary classes and applications interconnections between model theory and function spaces nonstucture theory and model theory of second-order logic. Features A coherent introduction to current trends in model theory. Contains articles by some of the most influential logicians of the last hundred years. No other publication brings these distinguished authors together. Suitable as a reference for advanced undergraduate postgraduates and researchers. Material presented in the book (e. g abstract elementary classes first-order logics with dependent sorts and applications of infinitary logics in set theory) is not easily accessible in the current literature. The various chapters in the book can be studied independently. | Beyond First Order Model Theory Volume I and II

The Tokugawa World

The Tokugawa World

With over 60 contributions The Tokugawa World presents the latest scholarship on early modern Japan from an international team of specialists in a volume that is unmatched in its breadth and scope. In its early modern period under the Tokugawa shoguns Japan was a world apart. For over two centuries the shogun’s subjects were forbidden to travel abroad and few outsiders were admitted. Yet in this period Japan evolved as a nascent capitalist society that could rapidly adjust to its incorporation into the world system after its forced opening in the 1850s. The Tokugawa World demonstrates how Japan’s early modern society took shape and evolved: a world of low and high cultures comic books and Confucian academies soba restaurants and imperial music recitals rigid enforcement of social hierarchy yet also ongoing resistance to class oppression. A world of outcasts puppeteers herbal doctors samurai officials businesswomen scientists scholars blind lutenists peasant rebels tea-masters sumo wrestlers and wage workers. Covering a variety of features of the Tokugawa world including the physical landscape economy art and literature religion and thought and education and science this volume is essential reading for all students and scholars of early modern Japan.

The Routledge Handbook of Architecture Urban Space and Politics Volume I Violence Spectacle and Data

The Routledge Handbook of Architecture Urban Space and Politics Volume I Violence Spectacle and Data

For architecture and urban space to have relevance in the 21st Century we cannot merely reignite the approaches of thought and design that were operative in the last century. This is despite or because of the nexus between politics and space often being theorized as a representation or by-product of politics. As a symbol or an effect the spatial dimension is depoliticized. Consequently architecture and the urban are halted from fostering any systematic change as they are secondary to the event and therefore incapable of performing any political role. This handbook explores how architecture and urban space can unsettle the unquestioned construct of the spatial politics of governing. Considering both ongoing and unprecedented global problems – from violence and urban warfare the refugee crisis borderization detention camps terrorist attacks to capitalist urbanization inequity social unrest and climate change – this handbook provides a comprehensive and multidisciplinary research focused on the complex nexus of politics architecture and urban space. Volume I starts by pointing out the need to explore the politics of spatialization to make sense of the operational nature of spatial oppression in contemporary times. The operative and active political reading of space is disseminated through five thematics: Violence and War Machines; Security and Borders; Race Identity and Ideology; Spectacle and the Screen; and Mapping Landscapes and Big Data. This first volume of the handbook frames cutting-edge contemporary debates and presents studies of actual theories and projects that address spatial politics. This Handbook will be of interest to anyone seeking to meaningfully disrupt the reduction of space to an oppressive or neutral backdrop of political realities. | The Routledge Handbook of Architecture Urban Space and Politics Volume I Violence Spectacle and Data

Routledge International Handbook of Police Ethnography

Routledge International Handbook of Police Ethnography

Ethnography has a long history in the humanities and social sciences and has provided the base line in the field of police studies for over 60 years. We have recently witnessed a resurgence in ethnographic practice among police scholars and this Handbook is a response to that revival. Students and academics are returning to the ethnography arena and the study of police in situ to explain the evocative worlds of the police. The list of ethnographic sites is vast and all have fed the rejuvenation of ethnographic endeavour. Together they suggest innovation theoretical depth broad geographical boundaries multi-site experiments and multi-disciplinarity all of which are central to the exploration of police and policing in the twenty-first century. This Handbook encapsulates the revival of police ethnography by exploring its multidisciplinary field and cataloguing the ongoing ethnographic work. It offers an original and international contribution to the field of police studies and research methods providing a comprehensive and overarching guide to police ethnography. We see the previous classics in every page and still note the influence of the early ethnographers. At the same time we see the innovative breadth and diversity of these narratives. The aim of this Handbook is to highlight the mosaic that is police ethnography at a point in time and note with pleasure its contribution to the field once more. Ethnography may be messy difficult and at times uncooperative but its results offer a unique insight into the perspectives of people and organisations that can hide in plain sight. An accessible and compelling read this Handbook will provide a sound and essential reference source for academics researchers students and practitioners engaged in police and criminal justice studies. | Routledge International Handbook of Police Ethnography
