Entropy Application for Forecasting

CC BY

This book shows the potential of entropy and information theory in forecasting, including both theoretical developments and empirical applications. The contents cover a great diversity of topics, such as the aggregation and combination of individual forecasts, the comparison of forecasting performance, and the debate concerning the tradeoff between complexity and accuracy. Analyses of forecasting uncertainty, robustness, and inconsistency are also included, as are proposals for new forecasting approaches. The proposed methods encompass a variety of time series techniques (e.g., ARIMA, VAR, state space models) as well as econometric methods and machine learning algorithms. The empirical contents include both simulated experiments and real-world applications focusing on GDP, M4-Competition series, confidence and industrial trend surveys, and stock exchange composite indices, among others. In summary, this collection provides an engaging insight into entropy applications for forecasting, offering an interesting overview of the current situation and suggesting possibilities for further research in this field.

"Me Write Myself"

CC BY-NC-ND

Exiles, lost souls, remnants of a dying race ... The fate of the First Nations peoples of Van Diemens Land is one of the most infamous chapters in Australian history. The men, women and children exiled to Flinders Island in the 1830s and 40s have often been written about, but never allowed to speak for themselves. This book aims to change that. Documents penned by the exiles during their 15 years at the settlement Wybalenna offer a compelling counter-narrative to traditional representations of a hopeless, dispossessed, illiterate people's final days. The exiles did not see themselves as prisoners, but as a Free People. Seen through their own writing, the community at Wybalenna was vibrant, complex and evolving. Rather than a depressed people simply waiting for death, their own words reveal a politically astute community engaged in a 15 year campaign for their own freedom. This book tells a compelling story that will profoundly affect understandings of Tasmanian and Australian history.This book is made open access as part of the Knowledge Unlatched KU Select 2018: HSS Backlist Books

Australia

CC BY-NC-ND

Australia: A Cultural History, first published in 1988, is still the only short history of Australia from a cultural perspective. It has acquired a unique reputation as an introduction to the development of Australian society and was listed by the historian and public intellectual John Hirst in his ‘First XI: The best Australian history books’. The book focuses on the transmission of values, beliefs and customs amongst the diverse mix of peoples who are today’s Australians. The story begins with the 60,000 years of the Aboriginal presence and their continuing material and spiritual relationship with the land, and takes readers through the turbulent years of British colonisation and the emergence, through prosperity, war and depression, of the cultural accommodations which have been distinctively Australian. This 3rd Edition concludes with a critical review of the challenges facing contemporary Australia and warns that ‘we may get the future we deserve’. [Some images unavailable for OA]

Building Green

CC BY-NC-ND

Building Green explores the experience of environmental architects in Mumbai, one of the world’s most populous and population-dense urban areas and a city iconic for its massive informal settlements, extreme wealth asymmetries, and ecological stresses. Under these conditions, what does it mean to learn, and try to practice, so-called green design? By tracing the training and professional experiences of environmental architects in India’s first graduate degree program in Environmental Architecture, Rademacher shows how environmental architects forged sustainability concepts and practices and sought to make them meaningful through engaged architectural practice. The book’s focus on practitioners offers insights into the many roles that converge to produce this emergent, critically important form of urban expertise. At once activists, scientists, and designers, the environmental architects profiled in Building Green act as key agents of urban change whose efforts in practice are shaped by a complex urban development economy, layered political power relations, and a calculus of when, and how, their expert skills might be operationalized in service of a global urban future. “Highly germane to our times, Building Green examines the role of urban ecology in envisioning new kinds of sustainable cities.” CHRISTINA SCHWENKEL, University of California, Riverside “A lucid and rich ethnography of environmental architects in Mumbai.” NIKHIL ANAND, author of Hydraulic City: Water and the Infrastructures of Citizenship in Mumbai ANNE RADEMACHER is Associate Professor of Environmental Studies and Anthropology at New York University. Her books include Reigning the River: Urban Ecologies and Political Transformation in Kathmandu, Ecologies of Urbanism in India: Metropolitan Civility and Sustainability, and the edited volume Places of Nature in Ecologies of Urbanism.

Les théâtres de société au XVIIIe siècle

CC BY-NC-ND

Aspect essentiel de « la vie théâtrale au XVIIIe siècle », le théâtre de société constitue un objet d'étude privilégié pour les historiens des mentalités, du théâtre, de la littérature, de la musique, de l'architecture et des arts du spectacle en général. Les textes ici rassemblés, dans cette perspective interdisciplinaire, privilégient un ordre chronologique qui part de la cour de Sceaux pour arriver à la période révolutionnaire, dont on doit se demander si elle sonne la fin de ces manifestations considérées comme caractéristiques de l'Ancien Régime. Trois grands axes de réflexion se dessinent au sein de ce cadre : les lieux et les répertoires qui ont pour objet de situer précisément cette activité parmi d'autres ; les rapports de ces corpus avec la société du triple point de vue esthétique, moral et politique ; les échos que le théâtre de société a laissés dans les écrits du temps. L'étude de sources jusque-là inexplorées permet d’en savoir plus sur la genèse des pièces et des spectacles, de montrer comment, pourquoi, à quel moment de leur vie ou de leur carrière littéraire des auteurs amateurs ou professionnels, comme Marivaux, Voltaire ou Beaumarchais, se sont tournés vers les scènes privées, et quelles y sont les conditions de représentation : bâtiments, des plus simples aux plus luxueux ; composition des troupes, mêlant souvent professionnels et amateurs, qu'il s'agisse des comédiens ou des musiciens, dont le rôle essentiel et parfois novateur est ici souligné. La diversité des théâtres étudiés met en lumière l’importance de la province, tant dans les villes que dans les résidences de campagne. À Paris, l'activité théâtrale publique se trouve même démultipliée par celle des scènes privées. Si le théâtre de société se caractérise par la notion d'espace privé, qui le définit pour l’essentiel et le distingue des scènes privilégiées, officielles et non, il joue également un rôle de théâtre expérimental pour certaines pièces. Il permet en effet à certains auteurs de fourbir leurs premières armes à l'ombre d'un commanditaire s'apparentant plus ou moins à un mécène, dans un cadre où la notion de « société » ou de « spectateurs » se substitue à celle de « public ». Là, il imite, détourne ou invente de nouveaux genres, susceptibles de s'épanouir sur les scènes publiques, en France et, plus largement, dans une Europe tournée vers le modèle français. Lieu de transfert culturel, donc, des textes, des auteurs, des acteurs et des esthétiques, le théâtre de société du XVIIIe siècle est bien aux origines du théâtre amateur qui se développe aux siècles suivants.
