El 'Journal du voleur' de Jean Genet. Una experiencia literaria sin voluntad de recepción
2017
La experiencia literaria de Jean Genet está marcada por el aislamiento y la soledad de la cárcel. La experiencia del mal a través del crimen y la búsqueda de la virtud están presentes en el Journal du voleur. En el presente artículo estudiamos algunos de los aspectos estéticos que se observan en una escritura que es practicada como ascesis y que se manifiesta en una obra que no presenta voluntad de recepción alguna, pero que la encuentra paradójicamente a través de una canonización involuntaria. Jean Genet’s literary experience is marked by the isolation and loneliness of jail. The experience of evil through crime and the pursuit of virtue are both present everywhere in the Journal du voleu…
Tecniche costruttive antisismiche in Calabria tra la fine dell'Ottocento e l'inizio del Novecento,
2016
La presente memoria intende indagare lo sviluppo delle costruzioni antisismiche in Calabria in un periodo compreso tra gli anni Ottanta dell'Ottocento e i primi anni del Novecento. Lo studio è incentrato sulle tecniche costruttive adottate nelle ricostruzioni post-terremoto realizzate in un periodo immediatamente antecedente il sisma che colpì Messina e Reggio Calabria nel 1908, dopo il quale si registra un progressiva affermazione della tecnologia del cemento armato. In questo arco cronologico si assiste a un notevole sviluppo degli studi nel campo della costruzione antisismica, con una prevalente riproposizione di sistemi costruttivi tradizionali e con le prime sperimentazioni sul cemento…
Teaching Language and Literature: A Question of Balance?
2015
Abstract Regarding the teaching of Catalan, four textbooks were created in the 1970s and 80s, which included a complete work of literature, with numerous grammar and lexical commentaries, and exercises about the literary text. The author who is the link between these books is the grammarian Albert Jane i Riera, a writer and linguist who has been a leading figure in Catalan culture as the editor of the children's magazine Cavall Fort . Our aim with this synchronic and diachronic study is to vindicate the importance of the educational proposals we have analysed, as well as the appropriateness and the need of teaching language and literature to regain and consolidate their mutually enriching r…

Molecular biology, China and the West
2000
More than 15 years ago, in November 1985, I travelled to China for the first time. I joined a symposium on developmental biology in the Shanghai Institute of Cell Biology (CBI), organised by the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Max‐Planck‐Gesellschaft in Germany. The symposium was meant to provide perspectives for the future of the Max Planck Guest Laboratory, just founded in the CBI. When I attended, I did not anticipate that my visit to Shanghai would initiate a long‐term commitment to China. I did not even expect to return to China in the near future. But early in 1987, my colleague Uli Schwarz from the Max Planck Institute of Developmental Biology in Tubingen, who was and still is in…
Obraz Hrista v romane Čingiza Ajtmatova "Plaha"
2011
Aitmatov introduced a biblical motif into his novel – he chose Christ examination by Pilate. The writer extended the meaning of the scene, he altered its essence and “genre,” changing it into philosophical disputation. He also invented the story of Christ sailing with his mother on the Nile and their miraculous rescue by a crocodile. These scenes are presented in such a way that they remind the myth of the birth and death of Christ which allows rating Aitmatov's figure of Christ to the fifth category of literary embodiment of Christ proposed by T. Ziołkowski and called CHRIST AS A MYTH. A figure of Christ in the novel is a symbol of the highest perfection of humanity.
La filosofía y sus lógicas
2003
It is common use at the end of the century to make retrospectives in all domains: politics, sciences, military, arts... This has also been made in philosophy, and it tries to explain the world from fightings between one another, lists of great men names, the death of the field itself, rhapsodies of schools and philosophers, conceptual exhibitions of external problems (biographic, politic or colonial ones) and so on. In this paper, it is intended to give a criterium internal to the philosophy itself, in order to classify the philosophical thought all along the 20th century. This criterium has to be built as a philosophical idea in which are situated the methods, the ontologies and the ethics…
Artificial organisms as tools for the development of psychological theory: Tolman's lesson
2007
In the 1930s and 1940s, Edward Tolman developed a psychological theory of spatial orientation in rats and humans. He expressed his theory as an automaton (the ‘‘schematic sowbug’’) or what today we would call an ‘‘artificial organism.’’ With the technology of the day, he could not implement his model. Nonetheless, he used it to develop empirical predictions which tested with animals in the laboratory. This way of proceeding was in line with scientific practice dating back to Galileo. The way psychologists use artificial organisms in their work today breaks with this tradition. Modern ‘‘artificial organisms’’ are constructed a posteriori, working from experimental or ethological observations…
