Science and art from a transevolutionary perspective

2018

From its origins, the human species has manipulated not only the real world but also the figurative one. While that manipulative action of the human species over both worlds was critical for the survival of the species in the beginning of its evolution -now transevolution-, it is also true that in the subsequent culture those worlds have been approached by two trades with highly different conceptual bases, science and art. In this paper I hold the thesis that both trades are necessary to know how to be in the world as well as how to transform it in an appropriate way.

Le vin et l’éveil des sens. L’expérience du goût en partage

2016

International audience; Entre tous les éléments de la scène alimentaire, le vin offre sans conteste le plus large espace de représentation, de figuration. Tout fait sens en lui, prend valeur de signe, de figure : la terre et le terroir, le climat et la vigne, le travail en cave, la bouteille et l'étiquette, la table et les relations commensales, conviviales. Tout ce monde de signes, ce peuple de figures, donne saveur et valeur à nos émotions gustatives. Elles relèvent déjà d'un ordre sensoriel, du domaine de l'expertise mais avec des grilles et des normes de qualification, de catégorisation désormais entrées dans l'appréciation courante du vin lorsqu'on s'attarde sur sa dégustation. Au-delà…

Sobre una ?poesía que se piensa en el lenguaje?. ¿Hacia una nueva vanguardia en la poesía española?

2018

En la última década puede observarse una renovación de las poéticas en España, tras un largo periodo de hegemonía de la lírica realista o figurativa. Aunque aún lejos de cuestionar el predominio a nivel editorial de la conocida como “poesía de la experiencia”, sí es evidente que el descrédito de la vanguardia va siendo superado y que, en formas múltiples y personales, alejadas de ningún movimiento grupal, muchos de los poetas jóvenes vuelven a poner en cuestión el lenguaje, cuestionamiento que suele relacionarse con un intenso tratamiento de lo corporal. Todo ello relacionado con una mayor lectura de la poesía latinoamericana y de otras tradiciones. En este artículo se pretende acercar al l…

Challenging the Victorian Nuclear Family Myth: The Incest Trope in Guillermo del Toro’s Crimson Peak

2020

espanolLa literatura (neo)victoriana ofrece conceptualizaciones contradictorias de la familia nuclear, ya que generalmente gira en torno a hogares tradicionales heteroparentales pero los presenta como fragmentados y profundamente disfuncionales. La pelicula Crimson Peak (2015) del director Guillermo del Toro se basa en tres motivos recurrentes en la ficcion gotica (neo) victoriana, los traumas domesticos, la familia disfuncional y lo sobrenatural. Mi objetivo principal es explorar como Del Toro utiliza la trama del incesto para subvertir las visiones preconcebidas e idealizadas sobre la familia victoriana. En primer lugar, analizo la casa ancestral y la figura materna como origen de los tra…

Miradas oblicuas : infancias, paisajes y comunidades interrumpidas en el cine de Dominga Sotomayor

2020

Dominga Sotomayor propone, en De jueves a domingo (2012), Mar (2014) y Tarde para morir joven (2018), exploraciones de la intimidad de una familia, una pareja y una comunidad. En estos acercamientos, la intimidad se configura en grados variables de tensión con el afuera y lo público. En estas oscilaciones se pone en evidencia una de las características más recurrentes y estudiadas del cine chileno contemporáneo: la conversión de la intimidad en el locus sobre el que se proyectan, de manera indirecta, los conflictos del pasado y el presente. Este artículo considera la forma en que el cine de Sotomayor se inscribe en el panorama actual del cine chileno y, a través de él, en su escenario socio…

Proposal of Up-to-Date Standards on Methods of Measuring Noise Parameters of Microwave Transistors

1994

One of the most interesting topics for microrwave community is the characterization of low-noise transistors. After so many years, the Standards suggested by IEEE in 1960 are considered obsolete by the experimenters. A new methodology is here proposed as a standard. To support this proposal, an original measuring system for the complete characterization of microwave transistors in terms of noise, gain and scattering parameters from noise figure measurements only is presented.

Comparison between complete and simplified methods for determining the microwave noise parameters of HEMTs

1994

Modem automatic noise parameter measuring systems are based on measurements of some values of F(rs ) for different values of IГs (more than four, for redundancy) realized by adjusting an admittance transformer (tuner) inserted between the noise source and the TUT mput . Such values are then manipulated by means of proper data processing techniques using eqn.( 1) [ 11. This measuring procedure is hereafter referred to as standard to point out that the old `Standards on methods of measuring noise in linear twoports´ published by the IRE Subcommittee on noise in 1960 is considered obsolete by all the experimenters.

Thermal conductivity of half-Heusler superlattices

2014

Thin films and superlattices (SLs) of TiNiSn and ZrHfNiSn layers have been grown by dc magnetron sputtering on MgO (100) substrates to reduce the thermal conductivity, aiming for improvement of the thermoelectric figure of merit ZT. The thermal conductivity of 1 Wm−1K−1 was measured by the differential 3ω method for an SL with a periodicity of 8.8 nm. In addition to x-ray diffraction analysis of the SL crystal structure, smooth interfaces were confirmed by scanning/transmission electron microscopy.

Recensione a Annalisa Carbone, Dipingere e scrivere per me sono la stessa cosa. Dino Buzzati tra parola e immagine, Soveria Mannelli, Rubettino, 2016.

2018

La sfida proposta dal volume di Carbone è ambiziosa perché intende analizzare all’interno dell’opera buzzatiana quattro macro-questioni che intrecciano scritture e immagini, dedicando a ciascuna di esse un preciso capitolo: Buzzati critico d’arte, Buzzati e le forme estetiche di massa, L’immaginario dipinto di Dino Buzzati, Buzzati disegnatore.
