Motion in Experience. Philosophical and Psychological Perspectives

2020

Under the title Motion in Experience, the phenomenon of movement is discussed as a trait of experience in a wide range of interpretations. Moving and being moved come into play not only as physical phenomena, but also as inner developmental movements. The aim of this issue is to foster a common and interdisciplinary reflection on the phenomenon of movement as a decisive moment of experience.

Spectres of the Common: The 'Italian Theatre Spring' in the Context of Global Social Movements

Teatro Valle Occupato, MACAO Milan, ASILO Naples – since 2011 Italy has been overwhelmed by a wave of protests in which creatives, art workers and political activists have occupied theatre houses and other public buildings to fight social and economic precarisation of cultural labour and to struggle for a deeper institutional and social-political change. Through their simple physical presence, numerous artistic, social and institutional interventions as well as a well-thought-out and virally spread discourse, the “Italian Theatre Spring” has developed a critique of the contemporary amalgam of neoliberalism and representative democracy from the viewpoint of theatre. Enhancing the experimenta…

L'idealismo critico di Sartre

2020

Jean-Paul Sartre è un autore di ampio profilo, tale da caratterizzare la cultura francese ed internazionale del secolo XX nei diversi ambiti, oltre che della filosofia, delle opere teatrali e letterarie. Sul piano specifico della storia del pensiero, non possiamo trascurare gli scritti del periodo giovanile dedicati alla fenomenologia trascendentale di Husserl. In questo ambito, è da ricordare la conferenza su "Conscience de soi e connaisance de soi", tenuta il 2 giugno del 1947 nella sede della Société Française de Philosophie. Il testo della conferenza viene proposto in versione italiana, con un saggio introduttivo di Maria Antonia Rancadore.

Toward a Phenomenology-oriented Transformative Education in Adult Life

2021

The paper highlights Husserlian phenomenology as a fruitful pedagogical paradigm for adult education philosophy. Actually, through a comparison with the Transformative Learning approach as developed by Jack Mezirow, phenomenology is presented as providing a peculiar account on learning from experience as well as on reflection. More precisely, a stress on the value of reflection in adulthood is detected both in the Deweyan line of thought, as expressed by Mezirow, and in the Husserlian one, as developed also in Martin Heidegger, Hannah Arendt, and Paul Ricoeur. My aim is to show that, even though the reflective approach has certainly affected contemporary education, chiefly the phenomenologi…

La natura della percezione. La fenomenologia di Husserl e la psicologia della percezione

2012

The Nature of Perception. The Phenomenology of Edmund Husserl and the Psychology of Perception - This paper deals with the relation between phenomenology and the psychology of perception. In the first part of the paper I will present some basic assumptions qualifying the investigation of perception in the fields of theoretical (pure) phenomenology and so-called experimental phenomenology. Next, I will deepen the analysis taking into account the specific concept of perception proper to Edmund Husserl’s phenomenology and a deflationary concept of perception compatible with a psychological perspective in order to shine light on the possibility of an integrative approach to perception which aim…

Experimental Phenomenology in Contemporary pPerception Sciences

2008

A formal role is deemed for experimental phenomenology to be played for a common interdisciplinary framework in perception science to obtain. An systematic account of experimental results on the phenomenology of visual perception and their formalisation in terms of manifold relations is provided. A model for interdisciplinary reserach is suggested with phenomenological explanationa self-closedness traded off against inter-domain research.

The Mach cone signal and energy deposition scenarios in linearized hydrodynamics

2010

Particle correlation measurements associated with a hard or semi-hard trigger in heavy-ion collisions may reflect Mach cone shockwaves excited in the bulk medium by partonic energy loss. This is of great interest because, when compared with theory, such measurements can provide information on the transport properties of the medium. Specifically, the formation of Mach cone shockwaves is sensitive to the viscosity and speed of sound, as well as the detailed nature of the jet medium interaction. However, modeling the physics of shockwave excitation to obtain a meaningful comparison with the measured correlations is very challenging since the correlations arise from an interplay of perturbative…

Gravitational Lensing of Supernova Neutrinos

2006

The black hole at the center of the galaxy is a powerful lens for supernova neutrinos. In the very special circumstance of a supernova near the extended line of sight from Earth to the galactic center, lensing could dramatically enhance the neutrino flux at Earth and stretch the neutrino pulse.

Resonant origin for density fluctuations deep within the Sun: helioseismology and magneto-gravity waves

2003

We analyze helioseismic waves near the solar equator in the presence of magnetic fields deep within the solar radiative zone. We find that reasonable magnetic fields can significantly alter the shapes of the wave profiles for helioseismic g-modes. They can do so because the existence of density gradients allows g-modes to resonantly excite Alfven waves, causing mode energy to be funnelled along magnetic field lines, away from the solar equatorial plane. The resulting wave forms show comparatively sharp spikes in the density profile at radii where these resonances take place. We estimate how big these waves might be in the Sun, and perform a first search for observable consequences. We find …

The anomalous magnetic moment of the muon in the Standard Model

2020

We are very grateful to the Fermilab Directorate and the Fermilab Theoretical Physics Department for their financial and logistical support of the first workshop of the Muon g -2 Theory Initiative (held near Fermilab in June 2017) [123], which was crucial for its success, and indeed for the successful start of the Initiative. Financial support for this workshop was also provided by the Fermilab Distinguished Scholars program, the Universities Research Association through a URA Visiting Scholar award, the Riken Brookhaven Research Center, and the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science under Grant No. KAKEHNHI-17H02906. We thank Shoji Hashimoto, Toru Iijima, Takashi Kaneko, and Shohei Nis…
