  • The Czech Avant-Garde Literary Movement Between the World Wars

    Thomas Gustav Winner, Ondřej Sládek et al.BOOKThe Czech avant-garde literary…2015

    The Czech Avant-Garde Literary Movement Between the Two World Wars tells the little-known story of the renaissance of Czech literary arts in the period between the two world wars. The avant-garde writers during this period broke down the barrier between the elite literary language and the vernacular and turned to spoken language, substandard forms, everyday sources such as newspapers and detective stories, and forms of popular entertainment such …

    L'écriture constitue-t-elle le trait d'union entre technique et culture, et par là entre science et culture ? Cet ouvrage donne des éléments de réponse à cette double question, à l'acuité renouvelée par le numérique. il fait donc appel aux anthropologues et philosophes (Jack Goody, Jens Brockmeier, David Olson...), aux spécialistes des pratiques lettrées de l'antiquité (Christophe Batsch, Flavia Carraro), de l'internet (Paul Mathias, Henri Desboi…

  • Sensitivity to long-term climate change of subpermafrost groundwater systems in Svalbard

    Open AccessSylvi Haldorsen, Michael Heim et al.ARTICLEQuaternary Research2010

    Deep subpermafrost aquifers are highly climate-dependent, with the permafrost as an aquitard preventing groundwater recharge and discharge. A study from the high-arctic island of Spitsbergen, Svalbard, shows that during a glacial to interglacial phase, both the permafrost and the glacier regime will respond to climatic changes, and a glacier-fed groundwater flow system will vary accordingly. A full glaciation results in the melting of permafrost,…

  • Virtual Realism

    Michael HeimBOOKVirtual realism1998

    Virtual reality has introduced what is literally a new dimension of reality to daily life. But it is not without controversy. Indeed, some say that a collision is inevitable between those passionately involved in the computer industry and those increasingly alienated from (and often replaced by) its applications. Opinions range from the cyberpunk attitude of Wired magazine and Bill Gates's commercial optimism to the violent opposition of the Unab…

  • The Design of Virtual Reality

    Open AccessMichael HeimARTICLEBody & Society1995Cited by: 3

    The label Virtual Reality stuck to the new technology and just wouldn't let go. Since Jaron Lanier coined the phrase in 1986, it held the field through all opposition. Researchers at MIT shunned the phrase in the early 1990s. Instead of virtual reality, they spoke of virtual environments. The word in glowed with an aura similar to artificial intelligence, and computer scientists had already been burned once before by boldly promising to deliver m…
