Japanese Robot Culture
Japanese Robot Culture examines social robots in Japan, those in public, domestic, and artistic contexts. Unlike other studies, this book sees the robot in relation to Japanese popular culture, and argues that the Japanese ‘affinity’ for robots is the outcome of a complex loop of representation and social expectation in the context of Japan’s continuing struggle with modernity. Considering Japanese robot culture from the critical perspectives afforded by theatre and performance studies, this book is concerned with representations of robots and their inclusion in social and cultural contexts, which science and engineering studies do not address. The robot as a performing object generates meaning in staged events and situations that make sense for its Japanese observers and participants. This book examines how specific modes of encounter with robots in carefully constructed mises en scène can trigger reflexive, culturally specific, and often ideologically-inflected responses.
Digital Dining
From the earliest stone tools to the latest AI-driven innovations, our relationship with food has always been shaped by technology. In “Digital dining: New innovations in food and technology”, Charles Spence and Carlos Velasco explore how emerging digital tools and technologies, such as smartphones, 3D printing, artificial intelligence, robots, and extended reality, are transforming the way we prepare, consume, and experience food. Diving into the intersections of tradition and innovation, culture and science, this book offers a thought-provoking journey through the world of gastrophysics and multisensory experience design. Will digital technology enrich our culinary experiences or erode the human touch? With insights from leading experts, real-world applications, and a critical lens on the ethical and cultural implications, this book invites readers to explore the tantalising possibilities and challenges of a rapidly changing food landscape. Whether you are a researcher, food enthusiast, a tech innovator, or a curious thinker, this book will provide you with a new lens to see, taste, and experience the future of food.

When Academic Pressure Breeds Discrimination & Insecurity Private schools have contributed a lot to improving the quality of education in recent years. Many of them are, however, also implementing a concept that promotes discrimination instead of the stated objective, that of nurturing academic brilliance. Segregating students into different classes or sections on the basis of their academic performance is having a disturbing impact. We speak to parents, teachers, and psychologists who explain how the system is having a negative impact on many young minds.
