“…And meta-human gifting lies in the fact that minerals from former stars serve as the material basis for human eyes-which eyes gaze on the final moments of other stars' lives, light years away. 63 To paraphrase these insights at the level of the family of astronomical dance in general, according to Figuration, the grace of astronomical dance consists in the apparent triviality, relative to human perception, of cosmically significant phenomena-phenomena that ironically point to the cosmos as a site of independent meaning that, in turn, makes the human observation of the cosmos possible in the first place.…”

Part of a larger project of constructing a new, historically informed philosophy of dance, built on four phenomenological constructs that I call "Moves," this essay concerns the third Move, "grace." The etymology of the word "grace" reveals the entwined meanings of pleasing quality and authoritative power, which may be combined as "beautiful force." I examine the treatments of grace in German philosopher Friedrich Schiller, who understands it as playful, na€ ıve transformation of matter; and in American philosopher John Dewey, for whom it represents rhythmic organism/environment reversal. I conclude by showing how "grace" can be used in analyzing various types of dance, which in turn suggests transformational potential for philosophy, dance, and society as a whole.

“…Derrida agreed that the state of language was dissemination, a state of unfulfilled meanings within the absence of all signified (qtd. in Scott, 2002). The creation of multiple meanings depends on the reader's interpretations.…”

Abstract-Advanced information technologies have triggered a return to materialism with a focus on rapid re/production of cultural resources in multimedia applications. Machine-enabled translation has emerged as one possible solution to achieving the goal of massive re/production and transmission of cultural materials in diverse languages for international cross-cultural communication on the web. In light of the need of improving machine translation (MT) performance, controlled cultural writing (CCW) is here proposed as an alternative to general language writing. CCW refigures the format and re-presents the utterances of cultural texts emphasizing material presence of factual information for easy machine rendition. In addition to its materialistic feature, CCW undergoes a dramatic modification through paraphrase so that its meaning or thematic message is far from matching the original one. This dynamic feature is justified by the Derridean concepts of dissemination and difference. One more feature of CCW is its function of new economics resulting from its economical way of reproducing cultural information through multilingual MT application. Drawing on the controlled writings of Chinese folk texts as a case study, this paper explores the three attributes of CCW by using Derridean deconstruction concepts as the theoretical framework.

“…En 2000, les recettes brutes des films en salles aux Etats-Unis étaient de 7,66 milliards de dollars, en augmentation de 28,3 % par rapport à 1986. Par contre, la hausse était de 426 % dans le même laps de temps en ce qui concerne les recettes distributeurs engrangées grâce aux exportations de films et de vidéo 5 . Dès les années 1920, Hollywood a créé ses propres filiales de distribution sur les marchés étrangers, mêlant habilement pour la promotion de ses films les techniques de marketing élaborées aux Etats-Unis avec une connaissance fine des opinions et goûts locaux.…”

LA POLITIQUE MARKETING DU CINÉMA HOLLYWOODIENDepuis ses origines, le cinéma hollywoodien a su manier de front la fabrication de films, dont certains sont devenus des classiques du septième art, avec un sens aigu de la promotion. Pour établir son hégémonie sur la planète cinéma, Hollywood a élaboré des techniques de vente de ses films, a travaillé à promouvoir son image et s'ouvrir aux marchés étrangers. Ainsi, le cinéma hollywoodien s'est taillé un avantage stratégique par rapport aux autres industries cinématographiques.
