Lavitalamorte o la genesi dell'aporia
2021
The author finds the genesis of her concept of aporia in the Derrida Seminar of the 1970s on La vie la mort. The essay problematizes the co-belonging between life and death in Plato's Gorgias and starting from this datum compares Derrida's position with the dialectical-metaphysical one.
Colita en contexto: fotografía y feminismo durante la transición española.
2018
El trabajo que desarrolló la fotógrafa catalana Colita (Barcelona, 1940) durante la década de los setenta fue aliado del movimiento feminista que se recompuso en el Estado español tras la muerte de Franco. En este artculo estudiaremos sus práctcas fotográfcas al respecto, aquellas que visibilizaron las demandas más importantes del feminismo español del momento: su trabajo para la revista <em>Vindicación feminista</em> (1976- 1979 y el fotolibro <em>Antfémina</em> (Editora Nacional, 1977), que hizo en colaboración con María Aurèlia Capmany. En segundo lugar atenderemos a la fotografa erótca que también desarrolló Colita durante estos años, una producción más problemát…
Il X libro dell'Etica Nicomachea. Un nuovo/antico modo di abitare l'universo?
2022
This paper aims to show the primacy of theoretical sciences and virtues in the Aristotelian Corpus. As Aristotle says, definitions are more exhaustive and precise in the theoretical rather than in the practical writings. In order to show this, I compare the definition of theoretical and practical sciences in Metaph. E 1 and Eth. Nic. VI, 2 and the definition of ‘soul’ in De an. B 1 and Eth. Nic. A 13 and Z 2. I then consider the nature of theoretical pleasures in Eth. Nic. X, 7, and show, by comparison with Part. an I, 5, that these pleasures can be identified with those offered by the study of nature. Thus, one can live a satisfying life and be a good citizen of the polis without being a t…

Artificial Pleasure and Pain Antagonism Mechanism in a Social Robot
2017
The goal of the work is to build some Python modules that allow the Nao robot to emulate a somatosensorial system similar to the human one. Assuming it can perceive some feelings similar to the ones recognized by the human system, it will be possible to make it react appropriately to the external stimuli. The idea is to have a group of software sensors working simultaneously, providing some feedback to show how the robot is feeling at a particular time. It will be able to feel articular pain and stress, to perceive people in his surroundings (and in a future work to react according to the knowledge of them with face recognition), feel pleasure by recognizing caresses on his head and respond…
L’eros che non c’è. Meraviglie e contraddizioni dell’amore
2020
Nonostante sia fra le più logore e abusate, la parola ‘amore’ continua ad accendere il nostro entusiasmo, perché lascia intravedere una bellezza di cui non riusciamo a fare a meno e che, al tempo stesso, sembra sfuggirci continuamente. Cosa c’è dietro le promesse, spesso non mantenute, di questo formidabile sentimento? Perché l’amore resiste a ogni delusione, e siamo sempre tutti pronti a investire ancora sulle sue lusinghe? Si tratta di un intrattenimento ludico (Lucrezio), di una dipendenza patologica (Marco Aurelio), della più pericolosa delle illusioni umane (Schopenhauer) o della chiave segreta della vita (Platone)? Prendendo spunto dal vissuto quotidiano e spaziando dalla mitologia gr…

Cortical Patterns of Pleasurable Musical Chills Revealed by High-Density EEG
2020
Music has the capacity to elicit strong positive feelings in humans by activating the brain’s reward system. Because group emotional dynamics is a central concern of social neurosciences, the study of emotion in natural/ecological conditions is gaining interest. This study aimed to show that high-density EEG (HD-EEG) is able to reveal patterns of cerebral activities previously identified by fMRI or PET scans when the subject experiences pleasurable musical chills. We used HD-EEG to record participants (11 female, 7 male) while listening to their favorite pleasurable chill-inducing musical excerpts; they reported their subjective emotional state from low pleasure up to chills. HD-EEG results…
Influence of sexual sensation seeking, sexual compulsivity and sexual pleasure in condom use among Spanish youth: implications for HIV interventions
2016
Spain is one of the countries with the highest incidence of HIV within the European Union. Multiple and complex factors influence HIV infection in young people. This study aims to determine the influence of sexual sensation seeking, sexual compulsivity and perceived sexual pleasure variables in condom use. A total of 424 heterosexual youth were evaluated (M age = 20.62; SD = 2.62) distributed into a risk group (60.7%) and a no-risk group (39.3%). Sexual Sensation Seeking Scale, AIDS Prevention Questionnaire, Sexual Compulsivity Scale, and Sexual Pleasure Perceived Scale were administered. Results indicate statistically significant differences in sexual sensation seeking (p=.001), failure to…
Cognitive Dispositions in the Psychology of Peter John Olivi
2018
This chapter discusses Peter John Olivi’s (1248–1298) conception of the role of dispositions (habitus) in sensory cognition from metaphysical and psychological perspectives. It shows that Olivi makes a distinction between two general types of disposition. Some of them account for the ease, or difficulty, with which different persons use their cognitive powers, while others explain why people react differently to things that they perceive or think. This distinction is then applied to Olivi’s analysis of three different psychological operations, where the notion of disposition figures prominently; estimative perception, perceptual clarity, and the perception of pain and pleasure. The chapter …
