Abstract:
Classification and topic modeling are popular techniques in machine learning that extract information from large-scale datasets. By incorporating a priori information such as labels or important features, methods have been developed to perform classification and topic modeling tasks; however, most methods that can perform both do not allow for guidance of the topics or features. In this paper, we propose a novel method, namely Guided Semi-Supervised Non-negative Matrix Factorization (GSSNMF), that performs both classification and topic modeling by incorporating supervision from both pre-assigned document class labels and user-designed seed words. We test the performance of this method on legal documents provided by the California Innocence Project and the 20 Newsgroups dataset. Our results show that the proposed method improves both classification accuracy and topic coherence in comparison to past methods such as Semi-Supervised Non-negative Matrix Factorization (SSNMF), Guided Non-negative Matrix Factorization (Guided NMF), and Topic Supervised NMF.

Abstract:
In November 1996, California voters passed the controversial California Civil Rights Initiative (Proposition 209) to abolish race- and gender-preference programs by amending the state constitution. Although the constitutionality of this initiative is being debated in court and the final outcome is still to be decided, the potential impact of such legislation is widespread within the public works agency administration. Historically, public works agencies have developed and defined their workplace protection policies by referencing laws or regulations that were designed to protect employees. However, in the face of initiatives such as Proposition 209, this type of referencing may facilitate gender and/or racial discrimination. This article examines the implications of “incorporation by reference” and alternative methods of effective policy development.

Abstract:
Most translation theorists agree that source text fidelity results in a translation that aptly transmits the foreign cultural values and meaning embedded within the source language to a target culture. While the preservation of foreignness might be beneficial for the propagation of international artistic diversity, when translating works of popular fiction, domestication is key to a novel’s successful incorporation into the target literary system. In popular fiction translation, the goal is accessibility rather than artistic influence or cultural exchange, yet the necessary domestication can be problematic. This article examines the reception of the English-to-French translation of an epic fantasy novel by Clive Barker. Online reviews written by the French-speaking readership describe the translated text as aberrant of Barker’s oeuvre and incomprehensible. While it may be easy to dismiss this translation as yet another example of poor translation practices, knowing that the translator, Jean-Daniel Brèque, is an award-winning translator and that he has translated many works by other popular artists such as Stephen King and Dan Simmons points the blame elsewhere. An analysis of Jean-Daniel Brèque’s translation of Weaveworld reveals the detrimental effect that strict adherence to the source text can have on the reception of popular literature in translation and affirms that domestication is necessary to transform the source text into a version digestible and understandable by the target audience.

Abstract:
This article examines the ara coeli legend, a tale in which the Tiburtine Sibyl showed Emperor Augustus a vision of a virgin holding a child proclaiming the child’s greatness. Based on both texts and art works, mainly from the Holy Roman Empire, it argues that the legend owed its widespread popularity to the way in which it was grafted onto the fifteenth-century Marian cult. While flourishing in coexistence with the humanist reconsideration of the Sibylline heritage, this incorporation into popular belief ultimately led to the legend’s decline during the Reformation, as reformers and later Catholic theologians revised Mary’s role in the unfolding of Christian salvation. In the face of Protestant and post-Tridentine theology, the ara coeli legend thus subsided into religious irrelevance, giving way to political, mythological, and gendered interests in the Sibyls.

Abstract:
The article depicts the connectivity of popular culture studies in the field of cultural studies with issues of postcolonial studies. The aim of the work is to answer the question about a possibility to transplant Western cultural studies research to postcolonial popular culture analysis and interpretation. The study begins with a brief reconstruction of the history of pop culture research in the scope of postcolonial methodology — the most important works, conferences, and thematic issues initiating an interest in a research field new to postcolonialism around the 1990s and at the beginning of the following millennium. In the next part of the article, the author points out two main definitions of popular culture (“the popular”) in the scope of indicated optics — by Stuart Hall and John Fiske; the author also considers terminological issues with “the popular” and its non-existent equivalent in Polish. An ambiguous movement written in popular culture was considered as its most important feature (as Hall and Fiske claimed) — at the same time, a dominant system is contained (incorporation) and meets with resistance of people who revolt by the means of the system itself (exportation). Nonetheless, the author shows why believing in the possibility of resistance can be an illusion. Next, the author comments on the stand of Kwame Anthony Appiah, who problematized the relation of postcolonialism and pop culture. The analysis of connections between these two phenomena is followed by a few examples of intertextuality in Alain Mabanckou’s novels.

Abstract:
Kees Mandemakers has been a leader in the study of linked population data, but not every society has the sources or resources to create linked data. This essay is about one approach that derives from a source that does not offer all that is possible with linked longitudinal data, but that nonetheless has significant value. Migration to California is one of the persistent refrains encountered in both popular and academic works about the history of the 1930s. The reason for this is simple. In literature and the arts, images of that migration are well known, but while those themes are accurate, they have not been sufficiently studied. My approach is to study migration using census data that ask a retrospective question about where each respondent lived five years earlier, in this case tracking migration from 1935 to 1940. Focusing on migrants to California and the paths that they took, I show that there was migration from much of the U.S. especially metropolitan areas across the country, from states near to California, and from places subject to the severe environmental shocks of the 1930s. I also show that while much of the general view of migration to California focuses on agricultural workers who left their homes in search of farm work further west, the large majority of migrants to California went to metropolitan destinations and worked as much in industry and commerce as in agriculture.

Abstract:
Steelmaking industry generates a large volume of by-products that not always can be reintroduced into production processes, such as the steelmaking process itself or the production of cement. This is the case of ladle furnace slag (LFS), whose potential use is limited and usually ends up in landfill. This work investigates the feasibility of using LFS as binder for clayey soils stabilization in substitution of lime. The main parameters evaluated are plasticity index, California Bearing Ratio (CBR) and Unconfined Compressive Strength (UCS). The results show that the strength behavior of the mixtures is remarkable, obtaining increases in the CBR index between 8-14 times above unmodified clays. The mechanical performance base on UCS results show improvements of 85 % relative to natural soils three days after mixing. Moreover, if the curing time is up to 90 days, the UCS doubles or triples its value. Depending on the chemical composition of the soils, the performances of the mixtures are different, but in all cases the results are positive and encourage further research for the incorporation of ladle furnace slag as stabilizing agent.

Abstract:
AbstractThe campaign against thuggee in 1830s India produced a set of widely-circulated accounts of the origins and practices of thugs. In these works (both popular and scholarly), a very small amount of primary information was continually recycled throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The changes visible in the manner of deployment of this information are indicative of progressive re-formulations of the narrative of the history of thuggee, and the larger history of British India. This process is examined through a study of the incorporation of an extract from The Travels of M de Thévenot into the Levant into the historical archive, which concludes that any re-appraisal of history must incorporate a consideration of the narrative underlying the production of the records, as well as the records themselves.

Full text
Abstract:
This article delves into the phenomenon of intertextuality in the Kabyle novel, focusing on its genesis as a literary genre and the dialogic strategies employed by Kabyle authors. The 20th century witnessed a decline in Kabyle literature due to societal changes. However, a resurgence with the emergence of Kabyle novelists who skillfully incorporated oral cultural heritage into their literary works. Notably, the first written works in prose, exemplified by Belaid At-Ali's Lwali n Udrar, signified a poetic rejuvenation in Kabyle literature. Subsequently, the 1970s witnessed the rise of the Kabyle novel, influenced by the establishment of publishing houses and the imperative to express Amazigh identity. Distinguished by its unique themes, forms, geographical specificity, and cultural roots, the Kabyle novel ingeniously incorporates oral traditions, such as proverbs and popular tales, through the art of intertextuality. The integration of oral traditions serves multiple purposes, including the preservation of Kabyle society's values, the promotion of the aesthetic significance of the Kabyle language, and the expression of personal viewpoints. Kabyle novelists employ diverse approaches to incorporate proverbs, either seamlessly blending them into the narrative fabric or demarcating them with quotation marks. Likewise, popular tales are artfully interwoven into the novels, with each author offering their distinctive interpretation. The interaction with oral tradition manifests itself through the use of narrative anachronism, references to legendary figures, and the incorporation of traditional symbolism. These elements contribute significantly to the cultural and aesthetic dimensions of Kabyle novels.

Abstract:
The most widespread implementation of the autonomous sovereignty of the popular sectors in the socialist policies of Chávez’s Venezuela, known as poder popular (popular power), is the consejo comunal (communal council), a neighborhood assembly that has received sizable state funding to implement self-managed projects ranging from house renovation to local public works and from social events to small-scale productive activities. Examination of the establishment and operation of these councils in Cumaná (Estado Sucre)—their successes and failures, popular involvement and personal corruption—reveals the ambiguous role within them of political brokers employed by local administrations and heading the party’s smallest organizational units and shows how incorporation of forms of direct democracy into larger institutions (the government and the party) hinders the exercise of autonomy. La implementación más extensa de la soberanía autónoma de los sectores populares en las políticas socialistas de la Venezuela de Chávez, mejor conocida como poder popular, yace en el consejo comunal, un tipo de asamblea vecinal que ha recibido considerables fondos estatales para implementar proyectos autogestionados: desde la renovación de casas hasta obras públicas locales, desde eventos sociales hasta actividades productivas a pequeña escala. Un análisis en torno al establecimiento y funcionamiento de estos consejos en Cumaná, Estado Sucre (sus éxitos y fracasos, participación popular y problemas de corrupción personal) revela el ambiguo rol que dentro de ellos jugaban los agentes políticos empleados por las administraciones locales para encabezar las unidades organizativas más pequeñas del partido. También muestra cómo la incorporación de formas de democracia directa a instituciones más grandes (el gobierno y el partido) obstaculizan el ejercicio de la autonomía.

Abstract:
This chapter examines popular sexology in Japan during the period 1945–1970 by focusing on the career of Takahashi Tetsu, one of the country's most prominent sexual scientists in the post-World War II era. Takahashi promulgated a liberal version of Freudianism, particularly his acceptance of the ubiquity of “sexual perversity,” and collected, published, and thereby helped popularize a wide variety of information about sexuality. After providing an overview of Takahashi's prewar influences and activities, the chapter considers the spread of sexological knowledge during the time of Occupation (1945–1952). It then shows how Takahashi mobilized the works of Alfred C. Kinsey and other Western sexual scientists in the early 1950s and attempted to synthesize them with what he saw as an indigenous Japanese approach. It concludes with a discussion of Takahashi's legacy in the field of sexual science.

Full text
Abstract:
The works of French sociologist Robert Hertz (1881–1915) are now staple readings in general anthropology. This study of the cult of a saint in the Italian Alps is lesser known than Hertz’s celebrated essay on the symbolism of death and sin, “Death and the Right Hand” (1907), yet it remains a model of classic ethnography. Hertz was raised in a devout Parisian Jewish family, studied at the École Normale Supérieure under Émile Durkheim and Marcel Mauss, and later became a critical member of the famous Année Sociologique group. The influence of the Année—its concern with theoretically driven, detailed, holistic, and integrative analyses of social phenomena—can be seen in his essay “Saint Besse: Étude d’un culte alpestre” (first published in 1913 in the French Revue de l’Histoire des Religions and translated into English in 1988).1 The essay is a painstaking, eloquent ethnohistory, locating Saint Besse intimately in divergent paths of regional history and local tradition, where Saint Besse’s shrine in a rocky Alpine overhang is, quite literally, embedded in the landscape. The essay portrays beautifully the independent spirit of popular Catholicism, especially in the flexibility of the hagiography of Saint Besse, which allows each community—whether mountain peasants or village dwellers, even church authorities—to lay claim to the saint through the qualities he is seen to manifest: the courage of a soldier, the moral stature of a bishop, and the devotion of a pious shepherd. The work is methodologically unorthodox for a Durkheimian, for Hertz not only draws on oral and archival sources, popular, local, and ecclesiastical traditions, but also has left his Parisian armchair for direct, “participant observation” in the field. In the Italian Alps, as elsewhere, a vibrant popular Catholicism evolves from pagan, telluric sources, sometimes articulating with official Catholicism, sometimes not. In typically Durkheimian fashion, Hertz describes the tremendous power of Saint Besse to knit together diverse communities of people morally and physically through collective religious devotion. In Hertz’s focus on Saint Besse as a material source and mediator of social identity we can read this work as a precursor to many other great ethnographies on Catholic saints (popular and more official), whether in Europe, Latin America, or elsewhere. But we can also read in the essay the political and moral vision of a socialist, activist—and Jewish—scholar who saw in a popular rural Catholic saint cult the vitality of community life that he might have seen as missing in his own social milieu of pre–World War I France.

Abstract:
This chapter delves into the construction of a symbolic opposition between Buenos Aires and its suburbs. Like the city's outskirts themselves, the contrast was born of large-scale demographic and urban changes that were reinforced by a diverse body of documents—expert analysis, fictional narratives, mass media articles, and classified reports. Within this corpus, the analysis focuses on one strand of meaning: that which organized the symbolic location of legality and illegality, safety and danger, order and disorder. Unlike other works on the urban imaginary, here technical, artistic, and literary writings will take a backseat to more widely disseminated discourses: police press releases about security in Buenos Aires, and the stories and images that circulated in both the popular and the “serious” press.

Full text
Abstract:
In various forms of Catholicism sacrifice holds a central position. The centrality of the divine sacrifice literally embodied in the sacrament of the Eucharist works in a wider sense as a model for action and thought outside the Church as a place for worship. Sacrifice here places the individual in various positions of moral debt that one can more-or-less willingly work towards suspending. In Damascus, Syria, a popular Catholic ethic of simplicity often collides with clergy who appear to collect money for this-worldly purposes or for the sake of what is perceived as their own benefit. Lamentation over such perceived opulence attests to a tension between grace, gift, and debt. This chapter explores such tension in attending to how moral personhood is fashioned through various engagements with prayer, surrender, and debt. Where David Morgan has argued for a particular Catholic sacrificial economy (2009), wherein individuals are placed in charged relationships, this chapter examines the inherent tension between simplicity and opulence. Catholicism, it argues, may very well work by asserting a particular emphasis on the holy office that appear opulent, which necessitates a counter-movement in the form of purification and work towards greater simplicity.

The interview is fragmentary due to tape failure, but it is also light-hearted. Lentz and Childs light-heartedly discuss Lentz’s biography and education; his works as performed in Europe and differences in reception; electronic and tape music. They explore style and value; masterpiece culture and Perspectives of New Music; historical differences between American and European music; performers and self-performance; juvenilia and legacy, and notation. Lentz mentions Tanglewood and study with Roger Sessions; serial music; jazz; popular music; the impact of listening; “problems” in composition; comparison between poetry and composition; analogies with winemaking; the Vietnam War and politics; and the English wit and compositional games.

Full text
Abstract:
Critical assumptions about the alleged ‘marginality’ of the Gothic in eighteenth- and early-nineteenth-century Italian culture rely on an optical illusion. The semantic sphere encompassed by the term ‘Gothic’ is expressed by Italian writers through a set of definitions related to incorrect thinking, archaicity, and excess. Seen from this perspective, the ‘Gothic’ appears the Northern, monstrous Other to which Italian culture is supposed to resist. This chapter provides the historical framework for contextualising Italy’s relationship with the Gothic as a field of tensions, arguing that refusal and resistance, rather than being viewed as symptoms of a constitutive incompatibility should be seen as the consequences of specific cultural-historical processes, which had determined complex and oblique forms of incorporation, adaptation and metamorphosis. Italian culture was by no means marginal in the circulation of Gothic themes and motifs, as exemplified by popular novels and the works of, among others, Berchet, Polidori, Manzoni, and Leopardi.

Full text
Abstract:
Cinema’s 1990s centenary brought declarations of its demise amid the internet and digital filmmaking and viewing. Throughout this period Douglas Gordon embarked on a reconsideration—part autopsy, part archaeological dig—of film as a medium and social practice. Projecting images appropriated from amateur films and Hollywood classics, Gordon created exhibition environments that emphasized the screen as an active component by positioning it as a sometimes fragile, sometimes monumental object of presentation. This chapter considers multiple works by Gordon, culminating with close examination of 5 Year Drive-By, an installation situated like an abandoned drive-in in the California desert in 2001. By revisiting the drive-in as commercial cinema’s attempt to bring film and car culture together with political and historical narratives of landscape and conquest, the chapter argues that 5 Year Drive-By can function as both geological medium and archaeological ruin. As such, it aligns popular modes of cinema with discussions of the twentieth-first-century legacy of modernity.
