Mapping Bali : Island. Culture. People
Mapping Bali is the creation of artist Bruce Granquist to record his visual relationship to the island which has been his home for over 30 years. Originally conceived as a straightforward mapping project which produced a detailed large-format topographic of the island, the scope of the project soon dived deep into the essence of the Balinese island soul. This homage to Balinese people and culture encompasses the unique characteristics that makes the island so special; topography, architecture, heritage sites, unusual landscapes, cultural traditions and spirits. Through shared stories with the people he meets in villages throughout the island, this original and intriguing book describes through images and words a personal and deeply felt celebration of the Balinese people.Contents include: * Water and Fire * Rocks and Water * Villages * Mapping the Balinese Soul * Rituals of Identity * North Bali * Urban Bali * Mapping Today, Mapping Tomorrow

Mapping Diaspora : African American Roots Tourism in Brazil
Brazil, like several countries in Africa, has become a major destination for African American tourists seeking the cultural roots of the black Atlantic diaspora.Drawing on over a decade of ethnographic research as well as textual, visual, and archival sources, Patricia de Santana Pinho investigates African American roots tourism, a complex, poignant kind of travel that provides profound personal and collective meaning for those searching for black identity and heritage.It also provides, as Pinho's interviews with Brazilian tour guides, state officials, and Afro-Brazilian activists reveal, economic and political rewards that support a structured industry. Pinho traces the origins of roots tourism to the late 1970s, when groups of black intellectuals, artists, and activists found themselves drawn especially to Bahia, the state that in previous centuries had absorbed the largest number of enslaved Africans.African Americans have become frequent travelers across what Pinho calls the ""map of Africanness"" that connects diasporic communities and stimulates transnational solidarities while simultaneously exposing the unevenness of the black diaspora.Roots tourism, Pinho finds, is a fertile site to examine the tensions between racial and national identities as well as the gendered dimensions of travel, particularly when women are the major roots-seekers.

How does MIDI mapping work?
MIDI mapping allows users to assign specific MIDI messages to control parameters within a software or hardware device. This process involves selecting a parameter to be controlled, such as volume or effects, and then assigning a MIDI message, such as a note, controller, or program change, to that parameter. Once the mapping is set up, the MIDI message can then be sent from a MIDI controller, such as a keyboard or pad controller, to manipulate the assigned parameter in real-time. This allows for a more hands-on and customizable approach to controlling music software and hardware.
-
When is a mapping proportional?
A mapping is proportional when there is a constant ratio between the corresponding values of the two sets being mapped. In other words, if the ratio of the output values to the input values remains constant, then the mapping is considered proportional. This means that as one set of values increases or decreases, the other set of values changes in direct proportion.
-
Is the mapping left-unique?
Yes, the mapping is left-unique. This means that each input value in the domain is associated with only one output value in the range. In other words, no two different input values can map to the same output value. This ensures that the mapping is well-defined and unambiguous.
-
What is a linear mapping?
A linear mapping, also known as a linear transformation, is a function between two vector spaces that preserves the operations of vector addition and scalar multiplication. In other words, it maps a vector from one space to another in a way that maintains the structure of the vector space. Linear mappings are fundamental in linear algebra and are used to describe various mathematical concepts and relationships in a geometrically meaningful way. They play a crucial role in solving systems of linear equations, studying eigenvalues and eigenvectors, and understanding the properties of matrices.

Mapping Ideology
For a long time, the term 'ideology' was in disrepute, having become associated with such unfashionable notions as fundamental truth and the eternal verities.The tide has turned, and recent years have seen a revival of interest in the questions that ideology poses to social and cultural theory, and to political practice. Mapping Ideology is a comprehensive reader covering the most important contemporary writing on the subject.Including Slavoj Zizek's study of the development of the concept from Marx to the present, assessments of the contributions of Lukács and the Frankfurt School by Terry Eagleton, Peter Dews and Seyla Benhabib, and essays by Adorno, Lacan and Althusser, Mapping Ideology is an invaluable guide to the most dynamic field in cultural theory.

Mapping Malcolm
“For Harlem is where he worked and where he struggled and fought—his home of homes, where his heart was, and where his people are.” Nearly sixty years since the martyrdom of Malcolm X, these words from Ossie Davis’s eulogy remind us that Malcolm’s political and religious beliefs and conceptions of culture have profoundly shaped and been shaped by Harlem.Mapping Malcolm continues the project of reinscribing Malcolm X’s memory and legacy in the present by exploring his commitment to community building and his articulation of a global power analysis as it continues to manifest across New York City today.More specifically, the book explores the limits and possibilities of the archive, the political, material, and philosophical legacy of the Black radical tradition, the Black diaspora, and the state. Oriented toward sovereignty and liberation, Mapping Malcolm brings together artists, community organizers, and scholars to consider the politics of Black space-making in Harlem through a range of historical, cultural, and anti-imperialist worldviews designed to offer new, reparatory pedagogical possibilities.Together, they reconfigure how we understand, employ, and carry forward Malcolm X’s sociopolitical, cross-cultural analyses of justice and power as an everyday praxis in the built environment and beyond. With contributions from Maytha Alhassen, Joshua Bennett, Christopher Joshua Benton, Lisa Beyeler-Yvarra, Stephen Burks, Guy Davis, Ossie Davis, Ibrahem Hasan, Albert Hicks IV, Marc Lamont Hill, Ladi’Sasha Jones, Jerrell Gibbs, Nsenga Knight, Akemi Kochiyama, Denise Lim, Jaimee A.Swift, James A.

What is an identical mapping?
An identical mapping is a type of mapping where each element in one set is paired with a unique element in another set, such that the pairing preserves the identity of the elements. In other words, each element in the first set corresponds to only one element in the second set, and vice versa. This type of mapping is often used in mathematics and computer science to establish a one-to-one correspondence between elements of two sets.
-
What is a bijective mapping?
A bijective mapping is a function between two sets that is both injective and surjective. In other words, every element in the domain is paired with a unique element in the codomain, and every element in the codomain is paired with at least one element in the domain. This means that there is a one-to-one correspondence between the elements of the two sets. Bijective mappings are also known as one-to-one and onto functions.
-
Is the following mapping surjective/injective?
To determine if a mapping is surjective or injective, we need to look at the properties of the mapping. Please provide the specific mapping you would like me to analyze.
-
Is every mapping also a function?
Yes, every mapping is also a function. A mapping is a general term used to describe the relationship between elements of two sets, while a function is a specific type of mapping where each element in the domain is associated with exactly one element in the codomain. Therefore, every function is a mapping, but not every mapping is a function.
