Schöne neue Welt der Prävention? Zu Voraussetzungen und Reichweite von Public Health Genetics
2007
Recent developments in molecular genetics and genomics have not only provided new insights into the biological foundation of life but have also brought about significant changes in the ways health and disease are understood. Nowadays, understanding how the human genome interacts with health-related behaviour and diverse environments is recognised to be the key for biomedical innovation. Even though advances in genetics and genomics have unveiled a whole new complexity of the genetic underpinnings of health and disease and clearly show the need for further investigation, studies of health-related genetic traits already give rise to novel approaches to prevention. As a relatively new field Pu…

2003
International audience; Le thème de la gestion des risques a été peu abordé en contrôle de gestion et le fonctionnement des outils traditionnels comme les budgets postulent une maîtrise des risques et des incertitudes.

Rationalitäten der Wissenproduktion: Über Transformationen von Gegenständen, Technologien und Information in Biomedizin und Lebenswissenschaften
2009
Rationalities of Knowledge Production: On Transformations of Objects, Technologies and Information in Biomedicine and the Life Sciences. Since decades, scientific change has been interpreted in the light of of paradigm shifts and scientific revolutions. The Kuhnian interpretation of scientific change however is now more and more confronted with non-disciplinary thinking in both, science and studies on science. This paper explores how research in biomedicine and the life sciences can be characterized by different rationalities, sometimes converging, sometimes contradictory, all present at the same time with varying ways of influence, impact, and visibility. In general, the rationality of obj…
Landscape of Exception as Spatial and Social Interaction Between High-Quality Agricultural Production and Immigrant Labour Exploitation
2021
This Chapter analyses the spatial and social interaction phenomena between high-quality agricultural production and immigrant labour exploita- tion that produce the landscape of exception, a particular declination of the Agambenian (2005) “state of exception” concept. The landscape of exception construction mechanism is generated within South-Eastern Sicily through the productive system of greenhouses, finalised to the vegetables production. Green- houses, in particular, represent an effective tool for spatial manipulation over the landscape and social control of migrant workers. In relation to these considerations, this work reflects on ethical challenges and dilemmas of planning, highligh…
States of Exception: Auto-immunity and the Body Politic in Shakespeare’s Coriolanus
2010
The essay starts by referring to a central moment in Shakespeare’s Coriolanus, when the Roman hero reacts to his banishment by banishing: “I banish you!" (3.3.123). These lines, the essay argues, provide, in a condensed form, a radical shift of perspective on the question of the boundaries of Rome: how far does Rome extend? Can Rome banish herself ? Does Rome move with Coriolanus as he moves “elsewhere” (3. 3. 135)? They also force the audience to reconsider the "nature" of the political decision that leads to the ban. Taking its cue from this line, the essay shows that the question of boundaries in Coriolanus is intimately connected with the uncanny logic of "auto-immunity" which affects R…
Invisible Ends Justify Secret Means: Homeland, Machiavelli, and the Least of All Possible Evils
2021
In the rhetoric informing Niccolò Machiavelli’s thought and the contemporary War on Terror, the dialectic between ethics and necessity within the framework of the process of secularization represents a cohesive thread. This very dialectic constitutes also the narrative principle presiding Homeland, one of most insightful TV shows having developed a critical reflection about the present time so far. Dealing with terrorist practices and counterterrorism tactics, the series provides an accurate depiction of the fears featuring nowadays Western societies and the means through which American institutions attempt to answer them . This essay proposes a survey of the conceptual core belonging to th…
Multilevel Power Relations and Planning Conflicts in a ‘Land of Exception’: The Case of the Sughereta di Niscemi Reserve in Sicily
2019
This article aims to investigate how the asymmetrical (political and economic) power relations can influence the effectiveness of planning systems at the local governance level, producing conflicting forms between land transformation and protection of natural interest sites. The article demonstrates how this condition can generate severe forms of environmental and social injustice through the case study of the M.U.O.S. of Niscemi (Mobile User Objective System). M.U.O.S. of Niscemi is a ground station for military communications satellite system, constructed by the United States Navy (Department of Defense) in Zone B of the natural reserve of "Sughereta di Niscemi" (the most relevant relict …

Il principio del non refoulement tra controllo dell'accesso al territorio dell'Unione europea e protezione dei diritti umani
2020
Nonostante il non-refoulement sia un principio cardine del diritto internazionale dei rifugiati, il suo preciso ambito di applicazione e l’esatta individuazione degli obblighi a carico degli Stati sono oggetto di incertezza per la tensione costante tra due opposte tendenze. In quanto espressione di un valore umanitario fondamentale, sono fiorite interpretazioni estensive, ma, in quanto limite al potere sovrano dello Stato di regolare l’accesso al territorio, sono emerse tendenze di segno restrittivo. L’articolo presenta la politica comune di asilo come sottoposta alla stessa tensione e ne descrive per grandi linee gli aspetti che costituiscono un ampliamento della protezione offerta dal dir…
