THE USE OF RELATIONAL DATABASES IN EPIGRAPHY: A CASE STUDY

Author(s): Silvia Gazzoli / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2018

The study of an abundant number of inscriptions leads to the conception of schemas and forms that can be organized into databases. This procedure allows us to arrange information with precision and to draw data and create connections between them in quickly and easily. For this reason, the relational database model has proved to be a valid support, as it makes possible to arrange data and information logically according to pre-established constraints and relationships, reducing errors and repetitions. The aim of this paper is to present an example of the use of a relational database created to catalogue inscriptions and highlight the positive aspects and difficulties found out during the process. The complexity of this method is mostly related to making choices about entities and identifying relationships between them; another obstacle is connected to the complexity of inscriptions as group of words and formulae. Nevertheless, the relational database allows the researcher to mix up data and information and create new relationships between them using SQL operators. The software used for the case study that will be presented in this paper is an open source administration and development platform pgAdmin (for PostgreSQL).

Author(s): Vlad Popovici,Rada Varga / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2018

Digital tools have enhanced the possibilities of historical prosopographic researches, bringing to light facts and connections unnoticed before. Showcasing two very different databases – in structure, timeframe and employed sources – we will try to highlight how structured data can prove useful and revealing for the prosopography of the people living in all historical periods and areas. In order to make our point, we will first present the two databases from architectural and technical points of view, then we will focus on case studies extracted from each of them. The aim is to highlight the gain in historical knowledge brought forth by the employment of digital tools and technologies and how these means actually increase our insightfulness when facing the sources.

Съвременни технонаучни инфраструктури – същност, перспективи и политики

Author(s): Ludmila Ivancheva / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2019

Some basic ideas in the contemporary concept of technoscience are pointed out. Technoscience is considered as a new phenomenon based on the convergence of science and technology and their gradual hybridization, leading to the creation of an inseparable symbiotic link between them. It involves the emergence of a common target orientation, a strong convergence of scientific research and technological innovation, existence of similar objects of study and treatment, and the achievement of similar results and products. Another important feature of technoscience is the growing role of the social factor for its development. Some modern technological and organizational innovation infrastructures such as clusters, techno-parks, “smart cities”, “living labs”, etc., are presented, considering them as an essential prerequisite for the sustainable development of technoscience. Key policy initiatives and measures to support them are presented at both European and national level.

Où est La femme dans les films de Kiarostami ?

Author(s): Radu-Cristian Andreescu / Language(s): French Issue: 1/2019

The aim of this paper is to analyse femininity as a cinematic depiction of uniqueness in three of Abbas Kiarostami’s films, Certified Copy, Like Someone in Love and a short film included in the anthology film Tickets, investigating the problem of universality and individuality in close connection with Jacques Lacan’s formula “The Woman does not exist”. Following the psychoanalytical approach that leads us to the problem of feminine jouissance and the way women escape from the phallocentric generalisation, we will emphasize the philosophical relevance of three recurring themes in Kiarostami’s films: woman’s identity, past-present continuity and artwork originality. This approach will allow us to grasp the problem of time, uniqueness, continuity and perception in Husserlian phenomenology and Gadamer’s philosophy of art, alongside the critique of truth in Heidegger’s ontology as well as in Austin&Searle’s “speech act theory”. The nodal point of these theories will be a concept of reality involving the consciousness and the interpretive acts of a subject and the woman’s role in expressing originality
