A new method to measure the wavelength of single-mode pulsed lasers with a scanning Michelson interferometer
1994
We report on the possibility to measure the wave-lengths of pulsed single-mode lasers by means of a two-beam Michelson interferometer in motion [1,2]. The corner reflector moves with a nearly constant speed creating a path differenceL so thatL/C ≪ 1/Δν, Δν being the spectral width of the laser to be measured. The reference laser is a stabilized He-Ne (Spectra-Physics, model 117 A) to a precision of the order of two parts in 109. The fringe pattern of the two beams (reference beam and measured beam) is sampled simultaneously with a repetition rate of 40 ms. With this new method, the frequency doubled injection-seeded Nd: YAG laser wavelength has been measured with an accuracy of the order of…
Jean-Michel Maulpoix: un lirismo de la finitud
2010
Adentrarse en Pas sur la neige es hacerlo en un nudo donde se entrecruzan las líneas fundamentales de este universo poético. La nieve con su intenso poder evocador, ya sea mediante observaciones, recuerdos, reflexiones o derivas metafóricas, lo recorre en todas direcciones. Nieve blanca como un sudario,ligada por lo tanto a la muerte, que es el signo por excelencia de la finitud. Blanca también como el papel, algo propicio para una mutua metaforización con la escritura y la poética que la sustenta. Nieve de los recuerdos de infancia, donde el sujeto lírico adquiere su precaria consistencia. Nieve silenciosa, como silenciosa es la pluma que escribe o también la muerte. Los detalles de la nie…
Academics as Politicians and as Operators of Global Governance
2018
In this chapter, the author scrutinizes the links between politics and academe in global governance. He analyzes two cases, those of former president of the European Commission Jose Manuel Barroso and philosopher Michel Foucault, that exemplify different types of political engagement. Social scientists play a key but concealed part in the steering of global governance. Under and beyond global institutions, they partake in the development of influential transnational professional groups. By producing practical knowledge for everyday or ‘banal’ global governance, social scientists shape the politically imaginable at more institutional levels. Yet others provide at a higher level of abstractio…
Détour topologico. Materie, caratteri, relazioni, programma
2016
La riflessione sui criteri opportuni per un’unitaria formazione dei progettisti si posiziona in un quadro complessivo orientato a valutare il progetto come prodotto scientifico e di ricerca. Il Novecento ha creato la Modernità opponendo la Scienza alle altre forme di conoscenza, mirando a conquistarle per modificarle dall’interno. Ciò ha determinato un sistema culturale in cui si origina una lacerazione fra i prodotti di alcune discipline e le discipline stesse, implicando un richiamo all’ordine che si raggiungerà solo quando ogni elemento del sistema apparirà chiaramente frutto di un’unica logica. Contro il sapere tecnico-analitico e disgiuntivo dell’esperto, il saggio afferma la dimension…
Self-care and total care: the twofold return of care in twentieth-century thought
2020
The paper studies two fundamentally different forms in which the concept of care makes its comeback in twentieth-century thought. We make use of a distinction made by Peter Sloterdijk, who argues that the ancient and medieval ‘ascetic’ ideal of self-enhancement through practice has re-emerged in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, particularly in the form of a rehabilitation of the Hellenistic notion of self-care (epimeleia heautou) in Michel Foucault’s late ethics. Sloterdijk contrasts this return of self-care with Martin Heidegger’s concept of being-in-the-world as ‘total care’ (Sorge), an utterly ‘secularized’ understanding of the human being as irreducibly world-embedded that reject…

Kobiety a neoliberalna biopolityka. Przypadek polskich reality shows
2021
Celem artykułu jest pogłębiona analiza wizerunku kobiet w polskiej reality TV, przeprowadzona przy użyciu kategorii biopolityki Michela Foucaulta, uzupełnionej przez myśl Marksowską i marksistowską. Tekst składa się z trzech rozdziałów. Pierwszy dotyczy show Superniania, które pomogło zwrócić uwagę na kwestię biowładzy w sferze reprodukcji. Drugi rozdział omawia show randkowe, Hotel Paradise i Love Island. Wyspa Miłości, poruszając zagadnienia seksu i miłości. Ostatnia część skupia się na programie Damy i wieśniaczki, który pokazuje klasowy wymiar sprawowania biowładzy nad kobietami.
SARS and human rights in a postmodern context : a case study of Toronto
2008
This pro gradu-thesis studies the conflict between human rights and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). The thesis focuses on the events that took place in Toronto between February and June 2003. The theoretical focus is placed within postmodern tradition and the main contributors for the theoretical approach in this work are Michel Foucault and Georgio Agamben. Especially the concept of biopolitics and politics of the state of exception are closely analysed. The key aspect of this thesis is in the temporality of human rights and the events that lead to revoking those rights. A great emphasis is placed on describing the interdependence between human rights and citizenship. In addition…

Il quartiere Cappuccinelli a Trapani di Michele Valori, 1957-1963
2021
L'articolo illustra le vicende costruttive che hanno condotto, per lunghi anni, alla "ghettizzazione" del quartiere Cappuccinelli di Trapani, progettato da Michele Valori. Il quartiere Cappuccinelli, infatti, rappresenta un esempio emblematico delle condizioni a cui si può pervenire, purtroppo, quando per diverse ragioni -di cui si discute nell'articolo- viene a mancare il controllo nell’esecuzione delle opere e nella loro gestione, malgrado la prefigurazione di un progetto di qualità inusuale, se si pensa che — nel caso di Cappuccinelli- si tratta pur sempre del progetto di un quartiere di “edilizia economica e popolare”.
