Foodscapes – a Neopragmatic Redescription

Themed Content: Critical Foodscapes

The paper reports on a study of community gardening in Stockholm. We contribute to the body of knowledge about the sustainability of community gardens and this new form of citizen-led initiatives in Stockholm, with the ambition of creating a debate about the best way to sustain and develop these initiatives in Sweden. We argue that although community gardening may provide leverage for means of ...

Changing foodscapes 1980-2000, using the ASH30 Study.

There has been a dramatic change in the UK 'foodscape', accompanied by increasing rates of overweight and obesity. This study explores dietary change and change in BMI recorded longitudinally (1980-2000) against the change in food availability recorded retrospectively. Over 20 years the foodscape changed dramatically, with the total number of food outlets increasing by 79.4%. Analysis did not f...

A framework for redescription set construction

Redescription mining is a field of knowledge discovery that aims at finding different descriptions of similar subsets of instances in the data. These instances are characterized with descriptive attributes from one or more disjoint sets of attributes called views. By exploring different characterizations it is possible to find non trivial and interesting connections between different subsets of...

A representational redescription method using competitive learning

In a previous simulation a network learned labeling a small set of stimuli in three input conditions (visual features, label, label + visual features), classifying them according to colour, function, object name. Results suggested that in different input conditions the network internal representation reflects the explicit semantic structure of stimuli. Evidence on the mediating role of linguist...
