Geometrical Patterns in the Pre-classical Greek Area. Prospecting the Borderland between Decoration, Art, and Structural Inquiry

Jens Høyrup (2000)

Revue d'histoire des mathématiques

Similarity:

Many general histories of mathematics mention prehistoric “geometric” decorations along with counting and tally-sticks as the earliest beginnings of mathematics, insinuating thus (without making it too explicit) that a direct line of development links such decorations to mathematical geometry. The article confronts this persuasion with a particular historical case: the changing character of geometrical decorations in the later Greek area from the Middle Neolithic through the first millennium...

The sublexical structure of a sign language

Lucinda Ferreira Brito, Rémi Langevin (1994)

Mathématiques et Sciences Humaines

Similarity:

Analyzing and transcribing a sign language is a difficult task since the mode of expression - hand movements in a space located close to the body, complemented by attitudes and facial expressions - is a priori less sequential than speech. Our work aims to complete numerous previous attempts and uses in particular Stokoe’s system. Analysing the movement of a frame attached to the hand as the movement of a point in R 3 × S O ( 3 ) we manage to discretize in a natural way the most frequent gestures of...

A Programmatic Note: on two Types of Intertextuality

Reviel Netz (2005)

Revue d'histoire des mathématiques

Similarity:

The note addresses briefly some reactions to a previous article “”. In particular it looks at the question: if indeed any text must depend on previous texts, what makes the dependency of commentary and commentary-like text so special to justify my emphasis on this form of writing ? A suggestion is developed, trying to define Deuteronomic texts through their precise semiotics of intertextuality: in general, it is argued, intertextuality may be paradigmatic (= allusion) or syntagmatic...
