Saber local e saber pretensamente universal, no contexto da globalização by José Marín

“…As globalization does not respect neither biodiversity nor cultural diversity, it distorts the real and symbolic references of local contexts. Thus the present challenge to be taken up by education vis-à-vis such a context is to build, on the basis of an intercultural reflection, a kind of education that values and respects biodiversity and cultural diversity with a view to envisioning a project of a viable society. …”

L’odeur de l’axé by Arnaud Halloy

“…I suggest three theoretical claims: the hypothesis of the metonymic function of smells (Howes 1987), i.e. that the very nature of smell—their liminal, intangible and evolutive character, as well as their privileged link to emotions—redouble at the experiential level the rituals’ symbolic function of transformation; the hypothesis of an “olfactive evaluative conditioning” (Zucco 2013) at the heart of the metonymic function of smells; the existence of olfactive practices and “styles,” which are constitutive elements of collective identities in Afro-Brazilian religions.…”

Le rôle de l’espace public dans la révolution de Jasmin à Tunis by Emna Khemiri

“…In this action, the space works not only as the theatre of the revolution, and gives it the opportunity to become concrete in highly symbolical places – such as the Habib-Bourguiba avenue or the Casbah –, but it is also what is at stake in a struggle: the re-appropriation of an official space such as the Casbah, on the occasion of the various “sit-ins”, provoked a toughening of the revolutionary process.…”

The Olympic “Revolt” of 1968 and its Lessons for Contemporary African American Athletic Activism by Douglas Hartmann

“…However, athletic activism remains as polarizing as ever and the most significant impacts of athletic activism still appear to be primarily symbolic or cultural. The final section of the paper highlights the cultural dimensions of sport—its “serious play” status, normative prohibitions against politics, and its individualistic, colorblind visions of race and social justice—that make athletically-based activism of all sorts challenging.…”

GAN-based channel estimation for massive MIMO system by Yuxiu HUA, Rongpeng LI, Zhifeng ZHAO, Jianjun WU, Honggang ZHANG

“…As a key technology of 5G, massive MIMO system can significantly improve spectrum efficiency and energy efficiency by equipping a large number of antennas in base stations.However, in massive MIMO system, accurate channel estimation faces severe challenges.In order to estimate the channel accurately when the pilot sequence length is smaller than the number of transmitting antennas and the channel noise is strong, the estimation method N2N-GAN was proposed.N2N-GAN firstly denoised the pilot channel at the receiving end, and then used the conditional generative adversarial network to estimate the channel matrix according to the denoised pilot signal.Simulation experiments show that N2N-GAN achieves better robustness against noise compared with traditional channel estimation algorithms and deep learning-based methods.Meanwhile, it can adapt to scenarios with fewer pilot symbols and more antennas.…”
