Aristotle's definition of time as 'a number of motion with respect to the before and after' has been branded as patently circular by commentators ranging from Simplicius to W. D. Ross. In this book ...Tony Roark presents an interpretation of the definition that renders it not only non-circular, but also worthy of serious philosophical scrutiny. He shows how Aristotle developed an account of the nature of time that is inspired by Plato while also thoroughly bound up with Aristotle's sophisticated analyses of motion and perception. When Aristotle's view is properly understood, Roark argues, it is immune to devastating objections against the possibility of temporal passage articulated by McTaggart and other 20th-century philosophers. Roark's novel and fascinating interpretation of Aristotle's temporal theory will appeal to those interested in Aristotle, ancient philosophy and the philosophy of time.
Prispevek izhaja iz misli Patricea Pavisa, da so dramska besedila vedno samo sled določene uprizoritvene prakse, prav zato jih je potrebno brati tako, da si predstavljamo, kako so jih med nastajanjem ...oblikovale omejitve igre in uprizoritve. V zgodovini drame je imelo pomembno mesto pravilo o enotnosti kraja, časa in dejanja, ki je upoštevalo tako sprejemnikove zmožnosti kot nemožnost hitrih menjav prizorišč in časovnih preskokov. Danes medijska tehnologija omogoča vnosom mediatiziranega, posredovanega v živo uprizoritev gledališča, kar je močno razširilo razumevanje prostora in časa ter vplivalo tudi na pisanje dramskih besedil. Navedene procese bomo prikazali na primerih iz sodobne slovenske dramatike in gledališča (Dušan Jovanović: Razodetja, Simona Semenič: tisočdevetstoenainosemdeset, Neda R. Bric: Eda: Zgodba bratov Rusjan, Andrej E. Skubic: Pavla nad prepadom).

This volume examines the relationship between privacy, surveillance and security, and the alleged privacy–security trade-off, focusing on the citizen’s perspective.
Recent revelations of mass ...surveillance programmes clearly demonstrate the ever-increasing capabilities of surveillance technologies. The lack of serious reactions to these activities shows that the political will to implement them appears to be an unbroken trend. The resulting move into a surveillance society is, however, contested for many reasons. Are the resulting infringements of privacy and other human rights compatible with democratic societies? Is security necessarily depending on surveillance? Are there alternative ways to frame security? Is it possible to gain in security by giving up civil liberties, or is it even necessary to do so, and do citizens adopt this trade-off? This volume contributes to a better and deeper understanding of the relation between privacy, surveillance and security, comprising in-depth investigations and studies of the common narrative that more security can only come at the expense of sacrifice of privacy. The book combines theoretical research with a wide range of empirical studies focusing on the citizen’s perspective. It presents empirical research exploring factors and criteria relevant for the assessment of surveillance technologies. The book also deals with the governance of surveillance technologies. New approaches and instruments for the regulation of security technologies and measures are presented, and recommendations for security policies in line with ethics and fundamental rights are discussed.
This book will be of much interest to students of surveillance studies, critical security studies, intelligence studies, EU politics and IR in general.
