Abstract

"Divided into three sections, Error brings together established critics and emerging voices to offer a significant contribution to the field of new media studies. In the first section, "Hack," contributors explore the ways in which errors, glitches, and failure provide opportunities for critical and aesthetic intervention within new media practices. In the second section, "Game," they examine how errors allow for intentional and accidental co-opting of rules and protocols toward unintended ends. The final section, "Jam," considers the role of error as both an inherent "counterstrategy" and a mode of tactical resistance within a network society. By offering a timely and novel exploration into the ways in which error and noise "slip through" in systems dominated by principles of efficiency and control, this collection provides a unique take on the ways in which information theory and new media technologies inform cultural practice."--Bloomsbury Publishing.

Abstract

Everyone has mistaken one thing for another, such as a stranger for an acquaintance. A person who has mistaken two things, Joseph Camp argues, even on a massive scale, is still capable of logical thought.

Abstract

Throughout the Middle Ages, enormously popular bestiaries presented people with descriptions of rare and unusual animals, typically paired with a moral or religious lesson. In The Earwig's Tail, entomologist May Berenbaum and illustrator Jay Hosler draw on the powerful cultural symbols of these antiquated books to create a beautiful and witty bestiary of the insect world.

Abstract

Lawyers often work pro bono to liberate death-row inmates from flawed legal verdicts that otherwise would kill them. This is the first book on practical philosophy of science, how to practically evaluate scientific findings with life-and-death consequences. Showing how to uncover scores of scientific flaws - typically used by special interests who try to justify their pollution - this book aims to liberate many potential victims of environmentally induced disease and death.

Abstract

A falling apple inspired the law of gravity-or so the story goes. Is it true? Perhaps not. But why do such stories endure as explanations of how science happens? Newton's Apple and Other Myths about Science brushes away popular misconceptions to provide a clearer picture of scientific breakthroughs from ancient times to the present.

Abstract

Entrepreneurship concern all economies, in Belgium or abroad, without exception. In the context of mondialization and strong competition we face at this moment, the support of entrepreneurs is fundamental to stay competitive. Indeed, the entrepreneurial activity is so important because it allows to create wealth and employment. &#13;The second chance of the entrepreneur concern people who have made a bankruptcy involuntarily. In our culture, in most of the cases, failure is considered negatively by the various economic players: providers, financial institutions, etc. However, the phenomenon of disappearance is an integral part of the economic development process. &#13;The government attempts to implement procedures or make awareness conferences to change the mentality about the failure and to support the bankrupt. Yet from a legal point of view, the results are favorable but from a commercial and relational point of view, the changes are very low. Indeed, the bankruptcy is legally accepted but not societally. The result is that entrepreneurs are eager to start a new project but do not do it through the fear of failure.&#13;No one have the infused sciences to know if the activity will be a success or a failure. This is the reason why mistakes are an integral part of the business. The bankrupt has a positive effect and will be considered as learning and not just a miss. In most of the cases, the bankrupt is considered as the way to success. In most of the cases, we can talk about “constructive failure”.&#13;This research-thesis has the intention to demonstrate the potential who is hiding behind the second chance of the entrepreneurs and the existing obstacles. That it’s a niche to which one government must be interested in because it presents good prospects for the future.
