Incertezza, precarietà, capacità di immaginazione del futuro e modernità: un confronto tra Appadurai e De Martino
2017
Though apparently distanced for their temporal and historical moment, their conceptual terminology, their interlocutors and the fields of their empirical research, it is possible to get some notable parallelisms of theoretical vision between the anthropological work of De Martino and that of Appadurai. In both cases, their starting point is in fact the uncertainty of human condition and social orders, and at the heart of their theory, there stands the issue of identifying the different kinds of ethos and cultural activity which permit people to historically and existentially confront this uncertainty through establishing their belonging to a “cultural homeland” (De Martino) or forms of soci…
Mangas un anime post-kinematogrāfiskā iztēle Kventina Tarantīno filmās
2018
Mūsdienu kino ir piedzīvojis būtiskas izmaņas. Tas ir kļuvusi par vienu no izteiksmes veidiem, kas spēj sniegt tos mākslinieciskos un iztēles līdzekļus, kas var atspoguļot šo pieredzi ar pazīmēm, kuras definētas kā post-kinematografiskā iztēle. Post-kino ir reakcija uz izmaiņām, un tas atspoguļo pārmaiņas kino kultūrā. Post-kinematogrāfiskā iztēle apraksta māksliniecisko procesu estētiskās un iztēles tehnikas. Tā nesen turpināja savu izaugsmi saistībā ar Japāņu anime un manga, kas ir piesaistījuši lielāku akadēmisko uzmanību. Šī pētījuma mērķis ir vizuāli analizēt vairākas Kventina Tarantīno filmas un izmantotās tehnikas, un apspriest mangas un anime post-kinematogrāfiskās iztēles izmantoša…
Utopianism in the Age of Capitalocene
2021
This article explores the social and political imagination of ‘the Anthropocene’ and the utopian counter images that can be derived from it. From the utopian studies perspective, I argue that the Anthropocene cannot provide sufficient societal alternatives for the current ecological predicament. This is due to the fact that the concept of Anthropocene relies too heavily on the image of abstract humanity to be able to offer real societal alternatives. It cannot name the social system we live in and, therefore, it cannot fundamentally challenge existing social arrangements. Based on utopian social theory, I conceptualize utopia as a counter image of the present motivated by a desire for bette…

Jaymin Upadhyay,1 Julia Granitzka,1 Thomas Bauermann,2 Ulf Baumgärtner,3 Markus Breimhorst,1 Rolf-Detlef Treede,3 Frank Birklein1 1Department of Neurology, 2Department of Neuroradiology, University Medical Centre, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, Mainz, 3Department of Neurophysiology, Center for Biomedicine and Medical Technology Mannheim (CBTM), Heidelberg University, Mannheim, Germany Abstract: Being able to remember physically and emotionally painful events in one’s own past may shape behavior, and can create an aversion to a variety of situations. Pain imagination is a related process that may include recall of past experiences, in addition to production of sensor…
Geographic imagination and urban-rural binary in online discourses related to the capital region of Finland : A corpus onomastic study of Helsinki, V…
2023
The article focuses on digital discourses related to Helsinki, Espoo and Vantaa, the three biggest municipalities in Finland’s capital region. The data consist of texts from the discussion forum of Suomi24 that was analysed to find out how forum users produce socio-spatial distinctions by categorizing some groups as ‘others’ thus differentiating in-groups and out-groups. The analysis used methods of comprised corpus assisted discourse studies (CADS), including collocation analysis. The results show that discourses related both to native and non-native Helsinkians and to those living in the capital region in contrast to those living elsewhere in Finland are common and the juxtapositions betw…
Immaginare la ‘ricostruzione’. Un piccolo manuale sulla casa popolare
2020
This study, starting from the unpublished graphic transcriptions of Giuseppe Vaccaro, subsequently published by Francesco Moschini in the volume “La casa di serie. Appunti sull’abitazione 1940-1942”, intends to trace the elements of a part of the design thin- king that pervades rationalism and finds its strong expression in the form of the ‘scheme’.The short manuscript of the Bolognese architect is a real manual on the mass production houses written between 1940 and 1942 when he was called to participate in military actions during the second World War.The text, the schemes and the drawings elaborated by the Bolognese architect on the one hand not only seem to anticipate the housing crisis t…
Wyobraźnia teoriopolityczna: kilka uwag na marginesie książki "Rebelia i reakcja. Rewolucja 1905 roku i plebejskie doświadczenie polityczne" Wiktora …
2017
Nauki spoeczne, rozumiane jako krytyczne i nieneutralne ze swej natury, winny być wyposażone w określone kompetencje i wrażliwości. C. W. Mills jako taką kompetencję określił wyobraźnię socjologiczną - będącą badaniem nakierowanym na związek historii i biografii, a którą w późniejszym czasie Anthony Giddens zinterpretował jako trzy podstawowe wrażliwości: historyczna, antropologiczna, krytyczna. Przełożeniem na nauki polityczne byłaby wyobraźnia teriopolityczna, na którą składałyby się takie parametry m.in. jak historyczność zjawisk politycznych, antysubstancjalizm, samoświadomość badawcza. Dookreślenie wyobraźni teoriopolitycznej proponuję w kontekście pracy Wiktora Marca "Rebelia i reakcj…
Creativity by copying: imitating life as a work of imagination
2021
Engineering biological systems is easily interpretable as a process of mere and cold replication, or even distortion, of the natural domain, since it is often linked to industry and built on the Cartesian assumption of human rationality’s control over asubmissive nature. In this article, I approach living systems design from an alternative perspective, supporting its similarities with activities which are traditionally associated with creativity, like arts. I show that different kinds of creativity are deeply involved in copying, composing, and modifying life, focusing on two different levels: that of scientific modelling, recognisable by looking at biological circuits design, and that of a…
POLITICAL THEORY'S IMAGINATION. A FEW REMARKS ON WIKTOR MARZEC BOOK
2017
Social sciences, understood as critical and not neutral by nature, they should be equipped with specific competencies and sensivity. C. W. Mills these comptence define as sociological imagination – which is study of the relationship of history and biography, Giddens interpreted it as three basic senses: historical, anthropological, critical. The translation into political science would be a political theories imagination, it consist,, among over things like a: historicity of political phenomena, antisubstansialism, research self-awareness. Definition of political theories imagination I propose in the context of Wiktor Marzec’s paper Rebelion and Reaction, which is a study from field of his…
Social Media as Platform for Stimulating Urban Changes
2016
Images have always been an important part of city planning – current images of place, images with planned improvements, maps and sketches. Some time ago all that was a private property of stakeholders like planner and client. But nowadays this confidentiality rather much has vanished – no copyrights or competition is noteworthy. Plans do not have their privacy anymore. They are exposed even before they got implemented. This article will display why city planners share the images of their ideas, of their dreams in public (mostly in blogs and social networks) – why it is important for them and what kind of feedback they are waiting for. This article is based on case study where 12 respondents…
