I segreti nascosti nei documenti della Geniza del Cairo
I documenti della Geniza del Cairo sono considerati uno dei documenti più importanti ritrovati in Egitto. La storia della scoperta dei documenti della Geniza del Cairo risale al 1865, nella sala della Geniza del tempio "Ibn ¿Izra" in Egitto. Purtroppo, la maggior parte dei documenti della Geniza fu portata fuori dall'Egitto nel 1896 d.C. e, nonostante i tentativi di alcuni ebrei che cercano di attribuire loro questi documenti, come li hanno chiamati in alcune loro ricerche: i documenti della Geniza ebraica, ma diventati famosi in tutto il mondo con il nome di documenti della Geniza del Cairo, essi appartengono e rimarranno all'Egitto; non solo, nel 1987 l'Autorità per le Antichità egiziana ha considerato i manoscritti della Geniza un patrimonio archeologico egiziano e le tombe della Geniza sono state considerate tra le antichità egiziane.

Les secrets cachés dans les documents de la Geniza du Caire
Les documents de la Geniza du Caire sont considérés comme l'un des documents les plus importants découverts en Égypte. Il s'agit de lettres écrites par des Juifs égyptiens, qui reflètent la vie réelle de l'Égypte médiévale et sont considérées comme un véritable miroir de l'époque. L'histoire de la découverte des documents de la Geniza du Caire remonte à l'année 1865, dans la salle de la Geniza du temple "Ibn ¿Izra" en Égypte. Malheureusement, la plupart des documents de la Geniza ont été sortis clandestinement d'Égypte en 1896, et malgré les tentatives de certains juifs qui essaient de leur attribuer ces documents comme ils les ont appelés dans certaines de leurs recherches : les documents juifs de la Geniza, mais qui sont devenus célèbres dans le monde entier sous le nom de documents de la Geniza du Caire, ils appartiennent à l'Égypte et resteront à l'Égypte, non seulement cela, en 1987, l'Autorité des antiquités égyptiennes a considéré les manuscrits de la Geniza comme un patrimoine archéologique égyptien, et les tombes de la Geniza ont été considérées parmi les antiquités égyptiennes.

Los secretos ocultos en los documentos de El Cairo Geniza
Los documentos de la Geniza de El Cairo se consideran uno de los documentos más importantes que se han encontrado en Egipto. Se trata de cartas escritas por judíos egipcios, y reflejan la vida real en el Egipto medieval, ya que se consideran un verdadero espejo de su época, la historia del descubrimiento de los documentos de la Geniza de El Cairo se remonta al año 1865, en la sala de la Geniza del templo de "Ibn ¿Izra" en Egipto. Desgraciadamente, la mayor parte de los documentos de la Geniza fueron sacados de Egipto de contrabando en 1896 d.C., y a pesar de los intentos de algunos judíos que tratan de atribuirles estos documentos como los llamaron en algunas de sus investigaciones: los documentos de la Geniza judía, pero que se hicieron famosos en todo el mundo bajo el nombre de los documentos de la Geniza de El Cairo, pertenecen a Egipto y seguirán perteneciendo a Egipto, no sólo eso, en 1987 la Autoridad de Antigüedades de Egipto consideró los manuscritos de la Geniza como patrimonio arqueológico egipcio, y las tumbas de la Geniza fueron consideradas entre las antigüedades egipcias.

The Secrets Hidden in The Cairo Geniza Documents
The Cairo Geniza documents are considered one of the most important documents that were found in Egypt. They were letters written by Egyptian Jews, and they reflect the real life in medieval Egypt, as they were considered a true mirror of its time, the history of the discovery of the Cairo Geniza documents goes back to the year 1865, in the Geniza room of the "Ibn ¿Izra" temple in Egypt. Unfortunately, most of the Geniza documents were smuggled out of Egypt in 1896 A.D., and despite the attempts of some Jews who are trying to attribute these documents to them as they called them in some of their research: the Jewish Geniza documents, but became famous throughout the world under the name of the Cairo Geniza documents, they belong to Egypt and will remain to Egypt, not only that, in 1987 the Egyptian Antiquities Authority considered the Geniza manuscripts an Egyptian archaeological heritage, and the Geniza tombs were considered among the Egyptian antiquities.

What's the Use?
In What's the Use? Sara Ahmed continues the work she began in The Promise of Happiness and Willful Subjects by taking up a single word--in this case, use--and following it around. She shows how use became associated with life and strength in nineteenth-century biological and social thought and considers how utilitarianism offered a set of educational techniques for shaping individuals by directing them toward useful ends. Ahmed also explores how spaces become restricted to some uses and users with specific reference to universities. She notes, however, the potential for queer use: how things can be used in ways that were not intended or by those for whom they were not intended. Ahmed posits queer use as a way of reanimating the project of diversity work as the ordinary and painstaking work of opening up institutions to those who have historically been excluded from them.

Composing Fisher Kernels from Deep Neural Models
This book shows machine learning enthusiasts and practitioners how to get the best of both worlds by deriving Fisher kernels from deep learning models. In addition, the book shares insight on how to store and retrieve large-dimensional Fisher vectors using feature selection and compression techniques. Feature selection and feature compression are two of the most popular off-the-shelf methods for reducing datäs high-dimensional memory footprint and thus making it suitable for large-scale visual retrieval and classification. Kernel methods long remained the de facto standard for solving large-scale object classification tasks using low-level features, until the revival of deep models in 2006. Later, they made a comeback with improved Fisher vectors in 2010. However, their supremacy was always challenged by various versions of deep models, now considered to be the state of the art for solving various machine learning and computer vision tasks. Although the two research paradigms differ significantly, the excellent performance of Fisher kernels on the Image Net large-scale object classification dataset has caught the attention of numerous kernel practitioners, and many have drawn parallels between the two frameworks for improving the empirical performance on benchmark classification tasks. Exploring concrete examples on different data sets, the book compares the computational and statistical aspects of different dimensionality reduction approaches and identifies metrics to show which approach is superior to the other for Fisher vector encodings. It also provides references to some of the most useful resources that could provide practitioners and machine learning enthusiasts a quick start for learning and implementing a variety of deep learning models and kernel functions.

Living a Feminist Life
In Living a Feminist Life Sara Ahmed shows how feminist theory is generated from everyday life and the ordinary experiences of being a feminist at home and at work. Building on legacies of feminist of color scholarship in particular, Ahmed offers a poetic and personal meditation on how feminists become estranged from worlds they critique-often by naming and calling attention to problems-and how feminists learn about worlds from their efforts to transform them. Ahmed also provides her most sustained commentary on the figure of the feminist killjoy introduced in her earlier work while showing how feminists create inventive solutions-such as forming support systems-to survive the shattering experiences of facing the walls of racism and sexism. The killjoy survival kit and killjoy manifesto, with which the book concludes, supply practical tools for how to live a feminist life, thereby strengthening the ties between the inventive creation of feminist theory and living a life that sustains it.

Willful Subjects
In Willful Subjects Sara Ahmed explores willfulness as a charge often made by some against others. One history of will is a history of attempts to eliminate willfulness from the will. Delving into philosophical and literary texts, Ahmed examines the relation between will and willfulness, ill will and good will, and the particular will and general will. Her reflections shed light on how will is embedded in a political and cultural landscape, how it is embodied, and how will and willfulness are socially mediated. Attentive to the wayward, the wandering, and the deviant, Ahmed considers how willfulness is taken up by those who have received its charge. Grounded in feminist, queer, and antiracist politics, her sui generis analysis of the willful subject, the figure who wills wrongly or wills too much, suggests that willfulness might be required to recover from the attempt at its elimination.

On Being Included
What does diversity do? What are we doing when we use the language of diversity? Sara Ahmed offers an account of the diversity world based on interviews with diversity practitioners in higher education, as well as her own experience of doing diversity work. Diversity is an ordinary, even unremarkable, feature of institutional life. Yet diversity practitioners often experience institutions as resistant to their work, as captured through their use of the metaphor of the "brick wall." On Being Included offers an explanation of this apparent paradox. It explores the gap between symbolic commitments to diversity and the experience of those who embody diversity. Commitments to diversity are understood as "non-performatives" that do not bring about what they name. The book provides an account of institutional whiteness and shows how racism can be obscured by the institutionalization of diversity. Diversity is used as evidence that institutions do not have a problem with racism. On Being Included offers a critique of what happens when diversity is offered as a solution. It also shows how diversity workers generate knowledge of institutions in attempting to transform them.
