“Fare arte” per fare comunità. Strategie culturali per un nuovo umanesimo
2020
Il ripensamento della società contemporanea passa attraverso un nuovo umanesimo in cui “facendo arte” insieme gli individui si riconoscono come comunità sulla base di principi e valori condivisi. Mettendo a fuoco un concetto di arte inteso come esperienza (J. Dewey) e come cura, in linea con le teorie dell’Everyday Aesthetics e con la teoria dell’“artification” dell’etologa Ellen Dissanayake, il lavoro si propone di tracciare alcune linee interpretative che, a partire dalle criticità emerse con l’emergenza sanitaria del coronavirus, valorizzino l’arte come strategia per fare comunità.
Dewey, Hippie Communes, and Education
2021
Este artículo establece una conexión relevante entre la filosofía de la educación de John Dewey y las comunas hippies de los Estados Unidos durante los años sesenta y setenta. Después de analizar la filosofía de Dewey en el contexto de la contracultura de los años sesenta, el artículo resume y organiza la filosofía de Dewey en torno a los conceptos de crecimiento, experiencia, educación, democracia y ocupaciones. A continuación, el artículo recurre a siete textos autobiográficos que describen la vida en cinco comunas hippies diferentes, y los utiliza para ilustrar los fundamentos de la filosofía educativa de Dewey y de su significado contemporáneo.

Glacier drainage and sandur formation at Kötlujökull, South Iceland
1985
Abstract Over a number of years research on a stretch of the southeastern glacier margin of Kotlujokull in South Iceland, 8 km in length, has focused on correlating the manner of glacier drainage with the genesis of sandar, exemplified by the recent evolution of the glacier foreland. The research has yielded the following results. During an initial period, beginning prior to 1945 and ending between 1966 and 1975, a belt of moraines about 1 km wide was destroyed in stages, except for a few remnants, by 11 outbreaks of subglacial meltwater at different times and locations along the glacier front. These outbursts were associated with the genesis of “ordinary”; sandar, which are referred to her…
Termini of calving glaciers as self-organized critical systems
2014
Calving margins are highly sensitive to changes in climate and glacier terminus geometry. Numerical modelling suggests that calving glacier termini are self-organized critical systems that are fluctuating between states of advance and retreat. Over the next century, one of the largest contributions to sea level rise will come from ice sheets and glaciers calving ice into the ocean1. Factors controlling the rapid and nonlinear variations in calving fluxes are poorly understood, and therefore difficult to include in prognostic climate-forced land-ice models. Here we analyse globally distributed calving data sets from Svalbard, Alaska (USA), Greenland and Antarctica in combination with simulat…

Search for anisotropic gravitational-wave backgrounds using data from Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo's first three observing runs
2021
We report results from searches for anisotropic stochastic gravitational-wave backgrounds using data from the first three observing runs of the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo detectors. For the first time, we include Virgo data in our analysis and run our search with a new efficient pipeline called {\tt PyStoch} on data folded over one sidereal day. We use gravitational-wave radiometry (broadband and narrow band) to produce sky maps of stochastic gravitational-wave backgrounds and to search for gravitational waves from point sources. A spherical harmonic decomposition method is employed to look for gravitational-wave emission from spatially-extended sources. Neither technique found eviden…
Menneisyyttä ei aina ehdi pukea : taide on tehokkain kommunikaatiomuoto John Deweyn filosofian näkökulmasta
2015
Tämä pro gradu tarkastelee nykykuvataiteen läsnäolon ja kantaaottavuuden muotoja John Deweyn tietoteorian ja taidekäsityksen pohjalta. Tutkimuksen lähtökohtana on yhteisökeskeisyyttä korostava pragmaattinen instrumentalismi, jossa käsitteillä ja teorioilla on välineellinen arvo, joka mitataan siinä miten ne toimivat yhteisössä käytännössä. Tutkimuksen kehyskertomuksen muodostaa yhden kuvataiteilijayhdistyksen rakennekehityksen kymmenvuotisjakso, josta erityisesti kaksi viimeisintä vuotta on liittynyt tämän tutkimuksen valmistumiseen. Fokusryhmänä toiminut kuvataiteilijaryhmä toteutti toimintakokeiluita, jotka johdattivat tutkimaan sosiaalisesti sitoutunutta taidetoimintaa ja siihen soveltuv…
A physical model for the interaction between unsaturated soils and retaining structures
2020
Temporary and permanent retaining structures interact with soils that are usually in unsaturated conditions. In this work, a 1g-scale physical model is presented to investigate the interactions between retaining walls and unsaturated soils. The physical model is equipped with a water-filled hydraulic cylinder connected to a pressure-volume controller to measure the horizontal component of the later earth thrust and high capacity tensiometers to measure soil matric suction. A system of low-friction linear guideways has been installed at the base of the wall-model. The failure surface is observed through a 3 cm thick glass wall on one side of the container. A series of images are acquired dur…
