OPERATIONAL ART AND MILITARY OPERATIONS ON URBANIZED TERRAIN by Major Steven P. Goligowski, USA, 61 pages. 1995 This monograph examines the contemporary environment of military operations on urbanized terrain (MOUT) and explores key issues that the US Army must resolve to improve its ability to conduct major operations in urban environments. From the analysis and discussion of these issues, the monograph draws conclusions about the sources of these issues and makes recommendations for implementing

Military operations in urban areas

2022/10/27

"Military operations in urban areas" by Alexandre Vautravers International Review of the Red Cross, Volume 92 Number 878 June 2010 Armies have traditionally avoided cities and siege operations. Fighting for and in cities is costly, slow, and often inconclusive. But sometimes they are unavoidable, either because they are located on main road or rail junctions or because of their value as political and/or economic prizes. Urban expansion in both north and south has made cities today the main theatres

"Why Militaries Must Destroy Cities to Save Them"

2022/10/25

Why Militaries Must Destroy Cities to Save Them by John Spencer "When I attend conferences on urban combat I am frequently asked questions about protecting civilians in urban warfare and why urban combat is so uniquely destructive. I have also been asked why the military’s specific weapons are employed in certain tactical scenarios (e.g., “Did it really take a hellfire missile to eliminate one sniper?”). But, in all these events, I have never been asked the more straightforward question: Why must

Francesca Artioli (2013): The Navy and the city: conflict, cooperation and political competition in the urban governance of Toulon, Urban Research & Practice, 6:1, 75-94 Abstract This article contributes to the debate about urban governance in specialized European cities, by focusing on the interplay between changes in national defence policies and local initiatives. It is based upon qualitative research carried out in Toulon, a mid-sized French city and the biggest military port on the

The Dadcasts ·

2022/10/11

Abstract When conceptualizing the power and politics of algorithms it is important to blend an understanding of their material substrates with an understanding of the multiple ways of perceiving, feeling, acting, and knowing which congeal around algorithms as an object of social concern. The concluding chapter revisits some of the key questions of the book and looks at how algorithmic power and politics can be understood if power and politics are not necessarily about imposing force from above.

Abstract Algorithmic power and politics stems in part from how algorithms acquire the capacity to disturb and to compose new sensibilities as part of situated practices, particularly in terms of how they become invested with certain political and moral capacities. Looking at how algorithms materialize in the institutional setting of the news media, the chapter considers how algorithms are made to matter. Based on eld observations and 20 interviews with digital editors and managers at leading

Abstract Given the centrality of algorithms in the media landscape, how do they aect people’s everyday lives? Drawing on 35 interviews with social media users about their encounters with algorithms online, the chapter considers the barely perceived transitions in power that occur when algorithms and people meet. When do people encounter algorithms, and what responses and imaginations do these encounters generate? Analyzing specic situations in which users notice algorithmic mechanisms at work and

Abstract Algorithms play a fundamental role in governing the conditions of the intelligible and the sensible online. If users provide the data, the techniques, and procedures to make sense of it, to navigate, assemble, and make meaningful connections among individual pieces of data is increasingly being delegated to various forms of algorithms. In the case of the world’s biggest and most used social media platform, Facebook, algorithmic mechanisms shape the concerted distribution of people,

2022/10/04

Abstract If algorithms are multiple and variable in nature, how can they be known? The chapter draws on the concept of the black box as a heuristic device to discuss the nature of algorithms in contemporary media platforms, and how we might attend to and study algorithms, despite, or even because of, their seemingly inaccessible or secretive nature. Framing algorithms as eventful, understood as constituents that co-become, the author suggests, somewhat paradoxically, that algorithms are not always

Algorithms exist and operate on multiple levels. They are technical as much as they are social, cultural as much as they are functional. The chapter examines the multiplicity of algorithms, arguing for an expanded view on algorithms that takes it variable ontology into account. Providing the conceptual groundwork by merging perspectives from computer science, social sciences, and the humanities, the chapter explains the dierent meanings of algorithms as technical entities, and phenomena of social

Algorithms and software are starting to catch the interest of social scientists and humanities scholars, having become somewhat of a buzzword in media and communication studies during the past years. Yet we are only at the beginning of understanding how algorithms and computation more broadly are aecting social life and the production and dissemination of knowledge as we know it. The introductory chapter sketches the contours of an algorithmic media landscape as it is currently unfolding by focusing

Peter Nabakov and Robert Eastman Native American Architecture. Chapter 1 "Wigwam and Longhouse: Northeast and Great Lakes". As this text is from 1989/1990, some fo the language used is dated and does not reflect our contemporary understanding of Indigenous culture and language; as a result, it may detract from parts of the text. Overall, however, the description of the architectural practices is clear. In addition to the main text, there are a number of important drawings and photographs
