Springer International Publishing AG Proximity and Epidata: Attributes and Meaning
Book SynopsisThis book provides a new model to explore discoverability and enhance the meaning of information. The authors have coined the term epidata, which includes items and circumstances that impact the expression of the data in a document, but are not part of the ordinary process of retrieval systems. Epidata affords pathways and points to details that cast light on proximities that might otherwise go unknown. In addition, epidata are clues to mis-and dis-information discernment. There are many ways to find needed information; however, finding the most useable information is not an easy task. The book explores the uses of proximity and the concept of epidata that increases the probability of finding functional information. The authors sketch a constellation of proximities, present examples of attempts to accomplish proximity, and provoke a discussion of the role of proximity in the field. In addition, the authors suggest that proximity is a thread between retrieval constructs based on known topics, predictable relations, and types of information seeking that lie outside constructs such as browsing, stumbling, encountering, detective work, art making, and translation.Table of ContentsProximity and Clues.- More than Meets the Eye.- Epidata, Clues, Threads, and Webs.- Provocations and Invitations.

The Chinese University Press Books in Numbers
Book SynopsisThis collection of papers is a result of an academic conference entitled ""Books in Numbers"" held in celebration of the seventy-fifth anniversary of the Harvard-Yenching Library. The aim of this conference was to celebrate the book culture of East Asia by comparing and contrasting the development of manuscript and print culture in each of the separate cultural areas of the region: China, Korea, Japan, Vietnam and Central Asia.The papers in this volume do not in any way attempt to offer a ""complete"" picture of the history of writing and the book in East Asia, but rather they hope to make a modest contribution by highlighting the differential developments in each of the cultural regions, as they were influenced by political, economic, social, and cultural factors.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Murals and Tourism Heritage Politics and Identity
Book SynopsisAround the world, tourists are drawn to visit murals painted on walls. Whether heritage asset, legacy leftover, or contested art space, the mural is more than a simple tourist attraction or accidental aspect of tourism material culture. They express something about the politics, heritage and identity of the locations being visited, whether a medieval fresco in an Italian church, or modern political art found in Belfast or Tehran.This interdisciplinary and highly international book explores tourism around murals that are either evolving or have transitioned as instruments of politics, heritage and identity. It explores the diverse messaging of these murals: their production, interpretation, marketing and in some cases destruction. It argues that the mural is more than a simple tourist attraction or accidental aspect of tourism material culture. Murals and Tourism will be valuable reading for those interested in cultural geography, tourism, heritage studiTable of ContentsPart I: Introduction1. ‘Wall-to-wall coverage': an introduction to murals tourismJonathan Skinner and Lee JolliffePart II: Heritage2.

To clarify and elaborate this connection, this volume provides a rigorous account of the engagement of archives and recordsand their keepersin struggles for social justice. Drawing upon multidisciplinary praxis and scholarship, contributors to the volume examine social justice from historical and contemporary perspectives and promote impact methodologies that align with culturally responsive, democrTable of ContentsSection 1Chapter 1: Introduction to Archives, Recordkeeping and Social JusticeChapter 2: Defining the Relationship between Archives and Social JusticeChapter 3: Methodologies Archival Impact StudiesSection 2Preface to Section Two: Categorisations and Patterns in the Case StudiesChapter 4: Archives, Records, and Land Restitution in South AfricaChapter 5: "Hang Onto These Words:" Aboriginal Title and the Social Meanings of Archival CustodyChapter 6: "All I Want To Know Is Who I Am": Archival Justice for Australian Care Leavers Chapter 7: Justice for the 96!: The Impact of Archives in the Fight for Justice for the 96 Victims of the Hillsborough DisasterChapter 8: Social Justice and Historical Accountability in Latin America: Access to the Records of the Truth Commissions in ChileChapter 9: Documenting the Fight for the City: The Impact of Activist Archives on Anti-Gentrification CampaignsChapter 10: Social Justice Struggles for Rights, Equality and Identity: The Role of Lesbian and Gay ArchivesChapter 11: Social Justice and Hearing Voices: Co-Constructing an Archive of Mental Health RecoveryChapter 12: Archives "Act Back": Re-configuring Palestinian Archival Constellations and Visions of Social JusticeChapter 13: Conclusion
