El alma nunca piensa sin fantasmas. Sobre el concepto de psique en Castoriadis
2012
La antropología filosófica de Castoriadis postula la imaginación como facultad productora de sentido, más radical que la propia racionalidad, y considera indisociables lo psíquico y lo social-histórico. Se trata de una filosofía de la praxis, que aspira al desarrollo de una subjetividad reflexiva y deliberante. Combina para ello aportaciones del psicoanálisis con la reflexión filosófica en torno al problema del sentido y el proyecto de autonomía. Sin embargo, la tradición filosófica no ha considerado la importancia de la imaginación tanto en la constitución autónoma del sujeto como de las sociedades. La autonomía (psicológica y social) debe estar vinculada a las posibilidades de ruptura de …
Pyrolysis of vegetable oil soaps—Palm, olive, rapeseed and castor oils
2011
Abstract Saponified, palm, olive, rapeseed and castor oils were pyrolysed (at 750 °C for 20 s) by pyrolysis gas chromatography with mass selective and flame ionisation detection (Py-GC/MSD and FID) to clarify their thermochemical behaviours. The liquefiable compounds recovered from palm, olive and rapeseed oils mainly contained linear alkenes (up to C 19 ) and alkanes (up to C 17 ), both similar to those found in gasoline (C 4 –C 10 ) and diesel fuel (C 11 –C 22 ) boiling range fractions of petroleum, whereas in the case of castor oil a significant amount of undesired oxygen-containing products (e.g., ketones and phenols) were formed. The obtained data on reaction mechanisms can also be uti…
« Autonomy in the Dock: Oscar Wilde’s first trial »
2014
Les procès d’Oscar Wilde de 1895 ont donné lieu à de multiples interprétations qui soulignent en particulier comment ils ont permis la cristallisation d’une identité gaie. Ils méritent également d’être mis en relation avec le texte de Wilde « The Soul of Man under Socialism » (1891) qui propose une subjectivité fondée sur l’individualisme et l’autonomie personnelle. Ce projet qui a fort inquiété les juges et l’Establishment anglais n’est pas sans rapport avec les thèses de Cornélius Castoriadis sur l’autonomie dans la Grèce antique, référence que les deux auteurs partagent. The 1895 Wilde trials are usually seen as either the trial of non-normative sexualities or as enabling a definition of…
Between Atoms and Humours. Lucretius' Didactic Poetry as a Model of Integrated and Bifocal Physiology
2012
Lucretius has often been regarded as one of the fathers of modern science, and also in recent years several studies have explored his influence far beyond a merely literary perspective. In this paper I analyse specifically the importance of the poet's 'eclectic' attitude in physiology from the point of view of his 'Fortleben' in early modern thought. I suggest that the typical eclectic combination of physics and biology, atomism and macroscopy, which the 'De rerum natura' shows in its didactic structure both through its images and even more through its conscious scientific reflection, built an attractive basis for attempts in the modern period at harmonising corpuscularian theories and qual…
Updated checklist and distribution of the inland-water calanoid copepods (Copepoda: Calanoida) of Romania
2009
No recent studies on the distribution of calanoid copepods in Romanian inlandwaters are available. During a long-term survey aimed at large branchiopods, we collected two diaptomid species that are new for the fauna of the country, and supplemented the available data on the distribution of other calanoid species with new records. As already observed in the case of large branchiopods, the habitats of the mountain basins of the Eastern Carpathians seem to be characterized by a quite distinct species assemblage. The high calanoid species richness of Romanian inland-waters, and the need for further, more comprehensive surveys aimed at mapping the actual diversity of this order in Romania are st…

Undecylenic acid: A tunable bio-based synthon for materials applications
2016
International audience; An undecylenic acid-based monoglyceride prepared from glycidol and undecylenic acid is used as suitable and tunable synthon for polymerization applications. Epoxidation and acrylation reactions lead to photopolymerizable monomers while transesterification with dimethyl carbonate, metathesis and aminolysis reactions provide access to polyhydroxyurethane-based materials. The successive intermediates were synthesized according to a green chemistry approach implicating solvent-less and catalyzed reactions, and were at each step fully characterized by infrared, 1H and 13C{1H} NMR spectroscopy, elemental analysis and mass spectrometry. Analyses of the resulting polymer mat…
Zaczarowane ciało
2020
Aspects of the body are important in Thomas Mann’s The Magic Mountain. Corporality, sensuality and biology are directly related to the motif of death in the novel. The physical aspect of death connects the triviality balancing on the edge of comedy with an unsettling aura of a fairy tale. In the isolated conditions of Berghof, Hans Castorp followed his instincts. In Davos, the reserved member of the bourgeoisie collided with an irrational and yet strictly material side of existence. The coalescence of life and death, the gradual revealing of all aspects of corporality goaded Hans Castorp into deepening his knowledge of the structure of the body, accepting obscene behaviour and advancing a p…
Traditional fermented sausage ‘Nem chua’ as a source of yeast biocatalysts efficient for the production of the aroma compound γ-decalactone
2013
International audience; The yeast ecosystem of Nem chua, a Vietnamese traditional fermented sausage naturally rich in medium‐chain‐length lipid‐derived flavouring compounds, was investigated to select biocatalysts able to produce the C10‐fatty acid‐derived aroma compound γ‐decalactone. The total number of yeast was about 5 × 104 to 4 × 105 CFU g−1, and eighty four different species were identified from morphological, physiological and 26S rDNA characteristics, with Candida sake and Candida haemulonii being found in all samples. Six strains able to produce γ‐decalactone from castor oil were selected, of which three Yarrowia lipolytica strains were able to produce between 1 and 2 g L−1 in our…
Institutions, Symbolic Networks and Transindividual.
2017
The paper introduces a fundamental topic of actual debate in philosophy of institutions: the linguistic dimension of political praxis. In order to analyze such topic, we mention some theoretical points of this debate: a) the actual status of the concept of institution; b) the notion of social imaginary; 3) the notion of semogenesis.
