This book includes discussions on the nature of change and time in
the archaeological record, the relation between the present and
past, the connection between time and the goals of archaeology and
the relevance of the Anthropocene to disciplinary practice.
Situated in how the authors own views on the topic of time have
developed over their careers, the conversation offers an intimate
and personal insight into how two leading scholars think and debate
a topic of central importance to the discipline. All archaeologists
with an interest in contemporary theory and the topic of time will
find this book of relevance, but also the student who wants to a
front row seat onto a live debate on this topic will find it an
invaluable complement to the more traditional textbook.

The field of archaeology continues to face a major crisis of
interpretation. The traditional view is that the basic business of
archaeology is to reconstruct the history of cultures and
civilizations through their material productions. Olivier
challenges this view with a new approach to archaeological remains
based on the works of French theorists such as Foucault, de
Certeaux, and Derrida, with insight from Darwin and Freud. His
thesis is that archaeology does not study the past itself but
rather what materially remains of the past in our present. Olivier
also develops an interpretation of material culture based on Aby
Warburg's and Walter Benjamin's work in the anthropology of art.
With wider implications for history and all social sciences, The
Dark Abyss of Time is a major contribution to the theory of time,
memory, heritage, and archaeology. This flawless translation makes
Olivier's elegantly written work available in English for the first
time.

These three volumes (CCIS 442, 443, 444) constitute the proceedings
of the 15th International Conference on Information Processing and
Management of Uncertainty in Knowledge-Based Systems, IPMU 2014,
held in Montpellier, France, July 15-19, 2014. The 180 revised full
papers presented together with five invited talks were carefully
reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. The papers are
organized in topical sections on uncertainty and imprecision on the
web of data; decision support and uncertainty management in
agri-environment; fuzzy implications; clustering; fuzzy measures
and integrals; non-classical logics; data analysis; real-world
applications; aggregation; probabilistic networks; recommendation
systems and social networks; fuzzy systems; fuzzy logic in boolean
framework; management of uncertainty in social networks; from
different to same, from imitation to analogy; soft computing and
sensory analysis; database systems; fuzzy set theory; measurement
and sensory information; aggregation; formal methods for vagueness
and uncertainty in a many-valued realm; graduality; preferences;
uncertainty management in machine learning; philosophy and history
of soft computing; soft computing and sensory analysis; similarity
analysis; fuzzy logic, formal concept analysis and rough set;
intelligent databases and information systems; theory of evidence;
aggregation functions; big data - the role of fuzzy methods;
imprecise probabilities: from foundations to applications;
multinomial logistic regression on Markov chains for crop rotation
modelling; intelligent measurement and control for nonlinear
systems.

Is time out of joint? For the past two centuries, the dominant
Western time regime has been future-oriented and based on the
linear, progressive and homogeneous concept of time. Over the last
few decades, there has been a shift towards a new, present-oriented
regime or 'presentism', made up of multiple and percolating
temporalities. Rethinking Historical Time engages with this change
of paradigm, providing a timely overview of cutting-edge
interdisciplinary approaches to this new temporal condition. Marek
Tamm and Laurent Olivier have brought together an international
team of scholars working in history, anthropology, archaeology,
geography, philosophy, literature and visual studies to rethink the
epistemological consequences of presentism for the study of past
and to discuss critically the traditional assumptions that underpin
research on historical time. Beginning with an analysis of
presentism, the contributors move on to explore in historical and
critical terms the idea of multiple temporalities, before
presenting a series of case studies on the variability of different
forms of time in contemporary material culture.
