Counter-Clock World: How Planning Backwards Helps in Moving Forward in Collapsing Environments
2021
Research on corporate decline and turnarounds as well as the strategic use of history have so far remained two separate research fields. We integrate these two fields with a thought experiment, proposing ways in which strategists can work with, and through time in managing and turning around declines. Our thought experiment involves two very different types of analogies: a textual one from Philip K. Dick’s science fiction novels, on the one hand, and a visual one from Einsteinian relativity science, on the other hand. Inspired and informed by these different conceptualizations of the past and time, we develop four forms of backward strategizing to successfully manage a struggling corporatio…
«L’antico come principio di nuova architettura». Il tempo perenne delle opere e dei progetti
2022
Nonostante la raccolta degli scritti e dei progetti di Angelo Torricelli copra un arco temporale di oltre trent’anni (dal 1990 al 2021) essa costituisce una straordinaria narrazione coerente e coesa nella quale si ha chiara la sensazione di come l’oggetto della riflessione sia la connaturata dimensione sincronica dell’architettura tesa a essere, inevitabilmente, espressione di valori atemporali. Non a caso i titoli dei testi di Torricelli, ad iniziare da ciò che ne costituisce la sintesi suprema, l’espressione metonimica per eccellenza — "Il momento presente del passato" — tendono ad essere quasi dei voluti emblematici ossimori. Nella lettura interpretativa dell’antico in architettura propo…

Anthropocène, Sémiotique et Droit de l’Environnement. La remise en cause juridique des non-humains
2023
The Anthropocene is not a time of a crisis of nature, but a time of an epistemic one. That stimulates the semiotics of culture to take up the project of an archaeology of knowledge. In this article, we give some indications of how to deal with this in the discourse of environmental law. We will focus on the turning point of the 1960s and 1970s, which is very significant for environmental law. Based on a corpus including French national law, international law and European regulations, we will start by proposing a semiotic genealogy of natural spaces ; then, we will show how it leads to the reformulation of legal temporalities ; finally, we will end by evoking its repercussions on the actoria…
PATRIMONIO ARCHITETTONICO E TIMELESS TIME : PER UNA PERMANENZA TEMPORANEA
2018
Com’è avvenuto per le precedenti rivoluzioni industriali, la digitalizzazione non ha sortito effetti soltanto nei processi e nei prodotti tecnologici. Tra le sue dirompenti conseguenze sulla società e sugli individui, l’emergere di una diversa concezione del Tempo sta già condizionando il campo operativo e soprattutto teoretico dell’ambiente costruito connotato da significati culturali. Inusitate forme di memoria mettono in crisi la visione tradizionale di patrimonio, fondata su una visione lineare del tempo che separa nettamente il Passato dal Futuro, lasciando al Presente un mero ruolo da passatore. Superata la presunta immutabilità, ambizione di ormai obsoleti obiettivi conservativi rigi…
Architettura e paesaggio tra forma e tempo
2017
Tra formazione e professione vi è la necessità di instaurare un rapporto continuo senza costringere la didattica ad un adeguamento acritico. Pensando, cioè, che quest’ultima, come un sismografo, debba seguire qualunque oscillazione proveniente dal mondo del lavoro. Nel verificare delle esigenze e nell‘apportare delle modifiche ai contenuti della formazione vi è un comprensibile attrito, perché in architettura vi sono dei principi immutabili. Per questi “enunciati base”, così definiti da Aldo Rossi, si immaginano degli urti o, se si preferisce, degli strappi, provenienti dall’esterno, e quasi mai dalla stessa università. In negativo, invece, si nota di primo acchito come la divisione in sett…
Composition et cognition musicales : création, perception, appréciation
2005
Ce texte est un rapport de fin de recherche issu de l'ACI cognitique.; Ce projet avait pour objet d'apporter des éléments objectifs de réflexion sur les possibilités et limites de la perception et de la compréhension des matériaux et des structures d'une oeuvre de musique contemporaine. Les buts spécifiques comprenaient l'étude : 1) des processus d'invention et de résolution de problèmes dans la composition musicale, 2) des processus de traitement perceptif et de mémorisation des matériaux musicaux, 3) du traitement perceptif et mnésique des variations ou transformations opérées sur ces matériaux et de l'intégration des matériaux et de leurs transformations dans une forme d'ensemble, 4) du …
Exploiting deep learning algorithms and satellite image time series for deforestation prediction
2022
In recent years, we have witnessed the emergence of Deep Learning (DL) methods, which have led to enormous progress in various fields such as automotive driving, computer vision, medicine, finances, and remote sensing data analysis. The success of these machine learning methods is due to the ever-increasing availability of large amounts of information and the computational power of computers. In the field of remote sensing, we now have considerable volumes of satellite images thanks to the large number of Earth Observation (EO) satellites orbiting the planet. With the revisit time of satellites over an area becoming shorter and shorter, it will probably soon be possible to obtain daily imag…
The impact of a concurrent motor task on auditory and visual temporal discrimination tasks
2016
Previous studies have shown the presence of an interference effect on temporal perception when participants are required to simultaneously execute a nontemporal task. Such interference likely has an attentional source. In the present work, a temporal discrimination task was performed alone or together with a self-paced finger-tapping task used as concurrent, nontemporal task. Temporal durations were presented in either the visual or the auditory modality, and two standard durations (500 and 1, 500 ms) were used. For each experimental condition, the participant’s threshold was estimated and analyzed. The mean Weber fraction was higher in the visual than in the auditory modality, but only for…
Mitochondrial DNA Regionalism and Historical Demography in the Extant Populations of Chirocephalus kerkyrensis (Branchiopoda: Anostraca)
2012
BackgroundMediterranean temporary water bodies are important reservoirs of biodiversity and host a unique assemblage of diapausing aquatic invertebrates. These environments are currently vanishing because of increasing human pressure. Chirocephalus kerkyrensis is a fairy shrimp typical of temporary water bodies in Mediterranean plain forests and has undergone a substantial decline in number of populations in recent years due to habitat loss. We assessed patterns of genetic connectivity and phylogeographic history in the seven extant populations of the species from Albania, Corfu Is. (Greece), Southern and Central Italy.Methodology/principal findingsWe analyzed sequence variation at two mito…
