This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings
of the Visual Information Expert Workshop, VIEW 2006, held in
Paris, France, in April 2006.
The 23 revised full papers were carefully selected from numerous
submissions during two rounds of reviewing and improvement. The
book is categorized in three main parts: pixelization theory,
pixelization applications, pixelization and cognition. The papers
are organized in topical sections on pixelization, pixelization and
multidimensional data, spatial pixelization, temporal pixelization,
qualitative pixelization, as well as pixelization and
cognition.
In this provocative study, Michael Soto examines African American
cultural forms through the lens of census history to tell the story
of how U.S. officialdom - in particular the Census Bureau - placed
persons of African descent within a shifting taxonomy of racial
difference, and how African American writers and intellectuals
described a far more complex situation of interracial social
contact and intra-racial diversity. What we now call African
American identity and the literature that gives it voice emerged
out of social, cultural, and intellectual forces that fused in
Harlem roughly one century ago.Measuring the Harlem Renaissance
sifts through a wide range of authors and ideas -- from W. E. B. Du
Bois, Rudolph Fisher, and Nella Larsen to Zora Neale Hurston,
Langston Hughes, and Wallace Thurman, and from census history to
the Great Migration - to provide a fresh take on late nineteenth -
and twentieth - century literature and social thought. Soto reveals
how Harlem came to be known as the ""cultural capital of black
America,"" and how these ideas left us with unforgettable fiction
and poetry.
