Indeterminacy relations in random dynamics
2007
We analyze various uncertainty measures for spatial diffusion processes. In this manifestly non-quantum setting, we focus on the existence issue of complementary pairs whose joint dispersion measure has strictly positive lower bound.
La notion de croissance chez Dewey et Rorty
2010
National audience; La notion de croissance revêt deux types d'aspects : quantitatif et qualitatif. Le premier évoque l'accroissement, l'augmentation ou le changement physiologique. Le deuxième concerne l'enrichissement, l'accomplissement de la personne ; il est lié à la tâche éducative. Les philosophes américains John Dewey et Richard Rorty s'accordent à souligner la "nécessaire indétermination" du terme "croissance", afin de laisser ouvertes les perspectives d'évolution. Cependant, leurs points de vue divergent quant à la valorisation des périodes de l'enfance. L'un souligne la créativité et la singularité de l'adolescence, tandis que l'autre se refuse à établir une telle distinction. L'an…
Landscape Architecture and the Green Deal Dare: Five Successful Experiences in Urban Open Spaces
2022
The present work focuses on European cities’ environments and open spaces, aiming to demonstrate how, through landscape architecture, it is possible to respond effectively to many of the ecological and social hardships that the Green Deal aspires to alleviate. It was signed in 2019 by all of the member countries of the Union, seeks to reverse the climate change trend by establishing a series of goals for improving environmental and economic quality for 2030 and 2050 and also aims to enact social justice in rural areas and in the urban environment. Landscape architecture, which is the art of combining the physical and immaterial elements in cities’ open spaces, is taken in this w…

Lo stato costituzionale di fronte all’emergenza pandemica
2022
La costituzionalizzazione degli ordinamenti giuridici accresce la flessibilità del diritto a detrimento della certezza e impone a tutti – legislatori, giudici e individui soggetti al diritto – di assumersi le proprie responsabilità e i rischi che ne conseguono. Il modo in cui il legislatore, a diversi livelli, fronteggia l’attuale pandemia da Covid-19 costituisce un interessante angolo visuale per riflettere sugli effetti – alcuni positivi, altri negativi – prodotti dall’indeterminatezza del diritto contemporaneo. Legal systems’ constitutionalization increases legal flexibility at the expense of legal certainty; it imposes to legislators, judges and individuals the responsibility and the as…
‘Disorderly conduct’: on the unruly rules of public communication in social network sites
2013
In this article, we examine typical styles and practices of public communication on social network sites (SNSs) in order to confront the traditional concept of publics as machines for creating order. Through an ethnographic case study of the SNS Facebook, we show how indeterminacy, ambiguity and constant irritation, rather than arguments or reason, produce the communicative order. A decidedly disorderly style of communication and connectivity emerges. Indeterminacy, from our point of view, is a solution to the problem of speaking privately in public and to an indefinite audience. We use these findings to problematize the insights of network theory and Niklas Luhmann's systems theory that on…
The Indeterminacy of Precedent : Negotiating the Admissibility of Victim Participant Testimony before the International Criminal Court
2021
Abstract The icc represents a legal laboratory that is still consolidating itself, with multiple unclarities in evidence and procedural law requiring resolution through jurisprudence. Our paper draws on interaction analysis to unpack this process, focusing on the jurisprudential construction of ‘dual status’ victim participant testimony. To elucidate how this evidentiary/procedural element is locally negotiated, we examine an excerpt from the Ongwen hearing transcripts, in which the defense objects against the testimony by a dual status witness called by the victim participants’ legal representative. The analysis traces how the defense counsel’s objection is anchored in a trajectory of prio…
Rights, Balancing and Certainty
2022
L’indeterminatezza è una delle caratteristiche salienti del diritto negli stati costituzionali contemporanei. Tale caratteristica mette in crisi le concezioni “oggettualistiche” del diritto che riducono il diritto a un insieme di norme o a un insieme di fatti e corrobora quelle concezioni che considerano il diritto una pratica sociale interpretativa. La costituzionalizzazione degli ordinamenti giuridici accresce la flessibilità del diritto a detrimento della certezza e impone a tutti – legislatori, giudici e individui soggetti al diritto – di assumersi le proprie responsabilità e i rischi che ne conseguono. Il modo in cui il legislatore, a diversi livelli, fronteggia l’attuale pandemia da C…
L’eterno ritorno del problema del metodo
2022
Fabio Ciaramelli’s book L’ordine simbolico della legge e il problema del metodo proposes a convincing methodological perspective for legal knowledge in contemporary constitutional democracies. The central claim is that a middle path between strong objectivism and absolute discretion exists. Ciaramelli thinks that the key concept for legal methodology is that of “symbolic order”. In this paper I deal with this notion and try to emphasize some features of it from a perspective slightly different from Ciaramelli’s one.
