This paper draws upon the case study of Novi Zagreb to examine the extent to which architecture can resist political authority. Although the circumstances of its conception are still obscure, I argue that it came into existence as an outcome of the resistance of architecture to political forces. In contrast to the existing studies claiming that the first urban complexes of the Naval Institute a...

Event-related potentials (ERPs) to task-relevant target and task-irrelevant novel stimuli were recorded in a somatosensory discrimination task. Subjects pressed a button to mechanical taps of the fifth finger (targets, P = 0.12), randomly interposed in sequences of taps to the second finger (standards, P = 0.76). Two types of infrequent novel stimuli were delivered; one was a mechanical tap to ...

In this study, the notions of homelessness and unhomeliness are studied in 2 novels by Naipaul: Half a Life (2001) and Magic Seeds (2004). Naipaul has been viewed by many postcolonial critics as an imperially complicit writer, for his controversial views of places and societies, particularly his disdain for non-Western societies.

Whil...

To date, document clustering by genres or authors has been performed mostly by means of stylometric and content features. With the premise that novels are societies in miniature, we build social networks from novels as a strategy to quantify their plot and structure. From each social network, we extract a vector of features which characterizes the novel. We perform clustering over the vectors o...

Speaker identification is the task of attributing utterances to characters in a literary narrative. It is challenging to automate because the speakers of the majority of utterances are not explicitly identified in novels. In this paper, we present a supervised machine learning approach for the task that incorporates several novel features. The experimental results show that our method is more a...
