L'impossibile riserva del possibile. La soggettività utopica in Levinas

La ricezione del pensiero levinasiano nella critica contemporanea ha spesso posto il problema della coerenza teorica e della sostenibilità esistenziale dell’idea di soggettività progressivamente maturata dal filosofo francese, secondo tratti di ridondante e insostenibile tragicità. L’enfasi innegabile con cui in 'Autrement qu’être ou au-delà de l’essence' la soggettività viene declinata in termini di passività radicale, sembrerebbe comportare, agli occhi di certe letture, il depauperamento fino alla negazione di ogni esercizio di consistenza vigente nell’io. Come se si trattasse di celebrare l’impossibilità stessa del vivere soggettivo. Il presente lavoro si confronta senza riserve con tale…

Third-Person Perception of Television-Viewing Behavior

2000

Both conceptually and empirically, the third-person effect has been confined to the effects of mass communication (people tend to believe others are more susceptible to media influences than they are themselves, and people tend to act accordingly). This study investigated whether this phenomenon extends to the perception of other people's media use, and whether it can be explained by a general tendency to underrate the education of others. We interviewed a sample of 200 adults in south-western Germany, focusing on television-viewing behavior. As hypothesized, people tend to perceive others as more inclined toward undesirable viewing behaviors. We also hypothesized and found that third-perso…

Dissertation: “In the intersection of television and Twitter : Social television as a tool for interaction and participation in a media event”

2020

This dissertation presents the phenomenon of social television by focusing on the interplay between the traditional broadcast media and the newer social media in the context of the FIFA World Cup. The aim of the study is to shed light on interactional practices that are generated in the intersection of television and Twitter. Through the lens of digital discourse and conversation analysis the study examines how the participation in a media event is constructed in live tweeting practices. The dissertation shows that social media have offered new ways of participating and enjoying television content but have not replaced the role of traditional television as a central medium for experiencing …

Analysis and Design of Induction Liquid Metal Processes Using Advanced Numerical Modelling

2019

Comprehensive knowledge of the turbulent flows, heat and mass transfer processes in the melt of induction applications is required to realize efficient metallurgical processes. Therefore, the process oriented development, design and optimization of induction furnaces for melting and casting of metals require praxis oriented simulation and analysis of the complex in-stationary turbulent melt flows and temperature distributions as well as the heat and mass transfer processes in the liquid metal. The studies, presented in this paper, demonstrate the possibilities of using advanced three-dimensional transient numerical modelling for successful simulation of the melt flow as well as heat and mas…

Epistemologies of (Un)sustainability in Swedish Crime Series Jordskott

2017

ABSTRACTEnvironmental themes have invaded Nordic TV crime series over the past few years. In this paper, the epistemological starting points of a Swedish series, Jordskott, are examined. The paper argues that the series criticizes the traditional humanist paradigm on which realistic crime narratives are based. It does so through the introduction of fantastic non-human beings with the help of which the boundaries of ‘nature’ and ‘human being’ are set mobile. In the series, subjectivities are rendered volatile and the humanist epistemological paradigm is questioned as a sustainable ground for defining what counts as a subject. Theoretically, the paper draws on posthumanist theory and ecocriti…

Folktales and Other References in Toriyama's Dragon Ball

2014

The aim of this article is to show the relationship between Japanese folktales and Japanese anime as a genre, especially how the intertextuality with traditional tales and myth subvert its conventional use. To meet this goal, the author examines Toriyama’s successful Dragon Ball series, which has enjoyed continued popularity right from its first publication in the 1980s. The article analyses the parallelism between Dragon Ball and a classic Chinese novel, Journey to the West, its main source. However, there are many other references present in Dragon Ball that are connected to religion and folktales. The author illustrates this relationship with examples taken from the anime that correspond…

The Hays Office and the Two Updated Film Versions of Madeleine Smith’s Case: Letty Lynton (1932) and Dishonored Lady (1947)

2016

The celebrated case of Madeleine Smith, the Glasgow poisoner, who was tried for murder (and absolved) in 1857, has resulted in many novels, plays, films and television series. Hollywood, during its classical period, made two updated versions of the incident: Letty Lynton (Clarence Brown, 1932) and Dishonored Lady (Robert Stevenson, 1947). Even though the two films are separated by more than a decade, the self-censorship introduced by the studios themselves – MPPDA, commonly known as the Hays Office – exercised so much control over the two pictures that they can hardly be taken as equivalent. This article proposes a comparative analysis of the two films and how censorship acted as a constrai…

Mikrokokoistetut leviämisvastus- ja nelipisteanturimittaukset puolijohderakenteen varauksenkuljettajien syvyysjakaumien määrittämisessä

2013

Entistä pienemmät puolijohderakenteet vaativat analyysityökaluilta erittäin hyvää herkkyyttä, jonka on myös kehityttävä rakenteiden vaatimusten mukaisesti -- muussa tapauksessa kehitys voi hidastua hyvin paljon ilman kunnollista tietoa valmistusmenetelmien tuloksista. Yksi oleellinen osa rakenteiden analysoimisessa on tieto seostusatomien ja varauksenkuljettajien pitoisuuksista rakenteen syvyyssuunnassa, eli syvyysjakauma. Vuosikymmeniä syvyysjakauman mittaukseen on käytetty leviämisvastusmittausta (SRP, engl. Spreading Resistance Profiling), ja nelipisteanturimittausta (4PP, engl. Four Point Probe) on käytetty kuvaamaan koko syvyysjakauman vaikutusta sähköisessä kontaktissa. Molempien tekn…

"TV- uutiset yhä kruununjalokivi" : MTV:n televisiouutisten muutos vuosina 2007-2015

2016

Media on kokenut 2000-luvun aikana useita muutoksia ja murroskausia. Verkkosisältöjen ja mobiilijournalismin merkityksen kasvu on asettanut perinteiset mediatalot uuteen tilanteeseen. Erilaisten julkaisualustojen väliset rajaaidat ovat kaventuneet. Samaan aikaan toimittajan työhön liittyvät ammatilliset vaatimukset ovat kasvaneet. Tässä tutkielmassa pyritään selvittämään, miten median konvergenssi ja siihen kytkeytyvät ilmiöt ovat muuttaneet yhden uutistoimituksen, MTV:n uutistoimituksen, toimintamalleja. Tutkielmassa tarkastellaan, kuinka MTV:n television pääuutislähetykset ovat muuttuneet vuosina 2007–2015. Lisäksi tutkielmassa pyritään selvittämään, missä määrin median konvergenssi on va…
