Le Great Limpopo Transfrontier Park by Nadia Belaidi

Communication and ‘revolt’ by Bert Olivier

Climate Science as Counterculture by Daniel Cunha

“…This article investigates climate science as a cultural object. By pursuing the “logic of its aporias”, it is shown that climate science emerged at the confluence of the objective development of the means of production (constituting a “planetary general intellect”) and the countercultural movement of the 60s, which put ecology at its center, but was broader than mere “environmentalism”. …”

Sense and Sensibility à l’écran : l’adaptation entre explication et consolation by Laurent Mellet

“…Starting from the assumption that three of the main logics informing the plot and the narrative of the book (Empiricism, the obsession for explanation and the necessity of consolation) can be found at the heart of the aesthetics of these adaptations, we show that the series and the film may complete or contradict one another, but always with a view to setting up some dynamics that help us avoid the logic of comparison and the issue of fidelity. …”

Robust Adaptive Fuzzy Control via State-Dependent Function for Nonlinear Stochastic Large-Scale Systems Subject to Dead Zones by Chang-Qi Zhu, Lei Liu

“…By introducing the state-dependent function, the constrained closed-loop system is transformed into a brand-new system without constraints, which can realize the same control objective. Then, fuzzy logic systems (FLSs) are used to identify the unknown nonlinear functions, the dead zone inverse technique is utilized to compensate for the dead zone effect, and a robust adaptive fuzzy control scheme is developed under the backstepping frame. …”
