Foucault, pastoral power, and optics

2015

The article shows that in Foucault’s late 1970s and early 1980s analyses of pastoral, conductive power—most essentially in early and medieval Christianity—the issue of sight and visual perception recurs and occupies a crucial status. In Foucault’s discussion, these Christian relations of power, knowledge, and truth are attached with a surveying gaze that is both totalizing as well as individualizing, one that is mobilized by the thrust towards perfect visibility, transparency, and illumination of the subject turned into an object. The intention is also to develop Foucault’s analysis further, by demonstrating how Christian, providential government can be and actually has been detached from …

La dimensione ecumenica del rito della fondazione di una Chiesa nella tradizione bizantina greca e latina

2013

The dedication of a Church is not the only rite that is used for the initiation of a new place of Christian worship. At the beginning of the construction of a building, liturgical sources provide for the Rite of Foundation of a Church in which blessings are asked on both the workers and also on the future edifice. This paper gives a comparative analysis of prayers used in the rites of the Byzantine-Greek and Latin traditions. Although both traditions have different theological emphasis they also have similarities too. This study bears fruit in allowing us to create a common ecumenical definition of the church-building arising from these analysed texts – it is the future place of Christian w…

Futuro e presente in conflitto

2020

Il film di Christopher Nolan "Tenet" permette di elaborare riflessioni sul presente stato del rapporto tra presente e futuro. L'articolo procede all'analisi della sua struttura narrativa, sulla base di osservazioni tanto formali quanto semantiche.

Electronic and magnetic properties of VOCl/FeOCl antiferromagnetic heterobilayers

2021

We study the electronic properties of the heterobilayer of vanadium and iron oxychlorides, VOCl and FeOCl, two layered air stable van der Waals insulating oxides with different types of antiferromagnetic order in bulk: VOCl monolayers are ferromagnetic (FM) whereas the FeOCl monolayers are antiferromagnetic (AF). We use density functional theory (DFT) calculations, with Hubbard correction that is found to be needed to describe correctly the insulating nature of these compounds. We compute the magnetic anisotropy and propose a spin model Hamiltonian. Our calculations show that interlayer coupling in weak and ferromagnetic so that magnetic order of the monolayers is preserved in the heterobil…

Effect of Substituents at Imide Positions on the Laser Performance of 1,7-Bay-Substituted Perylenediimide Dyes

2021

Perylenediimide (PDI) compounds with no substituents in their core are widely used as the active units of thin-film organic lasers. Recently, bay-substituted PDIs (b-PDIs) bearing two sterically hindering diphenylphenoxy groups at the 1,7-bay positions have received great attention because they show red-shifted emission with respect to bay-unsubstituted PDIs, while maintaining high photoluminescence (PL) quantum yields and low amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) thresholds even at high doping rates. However, their ASE photostability is relatively low compared to that of state-of-the-art PDIs. Thus, the design of b-PDIs with improved ASE photostability remains a challenge. Here, the synthes…

The ALHAMBRA survey: reliable morphological catalogue of 22 051 early- and late-type galaxies

2013

Advanced Large Homogeneous Area Medium Band Redshift Astronomical (ALHAMBRA) is photometric survey designed to trace the cosmic evolution and cosmic variance. It covers a large area of ~4 deg2 in eight fields, where seven fields overlap with other surveys, allowing us to have complementary data in other wavelengths. All observations were carried out in 20 continuous, medium band (30 nm width) optical and 3 near-infrared (JHK) bands, providing the precise measurements of photometric redshifts. In addition, morphological classification of galaxies is crucial for any kind of galaxy formation and cosmic evolution studies, providing the information about star formation histories, their environme…
