RIZHOME AND BAROCCO AS CULTURAL-ONTOLOGICAL FOUNDATION OF PHENOMENON OF INNOVATION by Serhei A. Ostrenko

“…In the second case we have a deal with the principles which can carry out innovative activity: a) connection (unavoidable of freedom of researcher, and it correlates with the principle of epistemological anarchism ‘Anything goes’); b) inhomogeneity (maintenance of multiplicity of innovative decisions that correlates with postpositivistic principle of proliferation); c) multiplicity (attitude on principle refuse from tradition in innovative activity); d) a-signed break (non-line character of innovative processes); e) cartography (constructive character of innovations with possibility of variety of different senses); f) re-tracing (critical attitude to the past and probable results in the future). …”

Signals of propaganda-Detecting and estimating political influences in information spread in social networks. by Alon Sela, Omer Neter, Václav Lohr, Petr Cihelka, Fan Wang, Moti Zwilling, John Phillip Sabou, Miloš Ulman

“…Together, they enable us to distinguish (p - value = 0.0001) between the two different classes of information cascades. In addition to constructing a bipartite graph connecting words and tweets to each cascade, we develop a quantitative measure and show how it can be used to distinguish between political and non-political discussions. …”

“The Key to it All”: Why Are We Obsessed with Ishmael, and Are Likely to Continue to Be Obsessed with Him? by Giorgio Mariani

“…In particular, the concurrent rediscovery of Henry James’s aesthetics of the novel explains why critical attention shifted to the narrator’s perspective, ideologically constructed as a space of “freedom.” But while, for the most part, I employ the term ‘obsession’ in its commonsensical meaning of being intensely preoccupied with someone or something, in the last part of my essay the etymology of the term also comes into play. …”
