Riflessioni critiche sulla potenza destituente nel pensiero di Giorgio Agamben
Il presente lavoro di ricerca intende offrire una rilettura del pensiero di Giorgio Agamben alla luce della pubblicazione di L’uso dei corpi, volume con cui si conclude il ventennale progetto “Homo sacer”. In particolare, si discuteranno alcune nozioni fondamentali della filosofia agambeniana – nuda vita, stato di eccezione, inoperosità, forma-di-vita – a partire dalla formulazione conclusiva, ma non definitiva, che il filosofo propone nel libro in questione, per poi focalizzare l’attenzione sulla categoria nella quale si condensa l’intero percorso filosofico di Agamben: la “potenza destituente”. Quest’ultima viene definita come una potenza in grado di disattivare e rendere inoperosa la mac…

"You, my friend, are a gaycist": gay representations and heteronormativity on the comedy series Happy Endings
2014
Viime vuosikymmenien aikana seksuaalivähemmistöjä koskevat puheenaiheet ovat olleet laajasti esillä länsimaisissa medialähteissä. Televisiossa, uutis- ja ajankohtaisohjelmien lisäksi seksuaalivähemmistöt ovat näkyneet myös fiktiivisissä televisio-ohjelmissa. Erityisesti amerikkalaisissa komediasarjoissa esiintyy paljon fiktiivisiä seksuaalivähemmistöjen edustajia. Vaikka kuvaukset vähemmistöhahmoista näissä sarjoissa ovat fiktiivisiä, vaikuttavat ne silti siihen mitä katsojat seksuaalivähemmistöistä ajattelevat. Fiktiivisten representaatioiden laatu on tärkeässä asemassa. Tämä tutkielma käsittelee homorepresentaatioita ja heteronormatiivisuutta amerikkalaisessa komediasarjassa Happy Endings…
A Lightweight, User-Controlled System for the Home
2006
This paper explores how we designed, with input from some elderly persons, a multi-agent user-controlled network for the home. The system was designed to support the elderly in living longer at home with minimal support. We describe how our work attempts to tackle issues such as privacy, control of personal space, and enjoyment within the home. As the number of elderly individuals’ increases, a certain amount of information gathering or support may be required to assist the elderly in their homes. However, we strongly believe that we should preserve people’s privacy in their homes and ensure that any artifact we propose is seen as enjoyable, aesthetically pleasing and, most importantly, not…
Margaret Atwood and Adaptation: The Handmaid’s Tale and Beyond
2021
Margaret Atwood has long been appreciated for her ardent defense of Canadian authors and her genre-bending fiction, essays and poetry. However, an aspect of her work that has perhaps been less thoroughly examined is her work both as adaptor and as source for adaptation in media as varied as opera, television, film, or comic books. Recent critically acclaimed television adaptations of the novels The Handmaid’s Tale (Hulu) and Alias Grace (Amazon) have rightfully focused attention on these works, but Atwood’s fiction has long been a source of inspiration for artists of various media, a seeming corollary to Atwood’s own tendency to explore the possibilities of media (graphic novels), genres (s…

Lo spazio dei libri. Costruzione del sé, rappresentazione immaginaria, forma architettonica, incontro con l’altro
2021
Cos’è lo spazio dei libri? Il volume, frutto di una ricerca interdisciplinare, mira a rispondere a questa domanda attraverso diverse chiavi interpretative. I libri costruiscono architetture di pensieri, sviluppano percorsi immaginari eformano le identità dei lettori. La biblioteca può essere uno spazio fisico che si relaziona alla città - un edificio volto a custodire il patrimonio librario e a favorire il confronto delle idee - o uno spazio immaginario, sfondo di narrazioni letterarie e cinematografiche, o ancora uno spazio simbolico costruito attraverso l’atto della lettura e il dialogo con gli autori; in ogni caso, lo spazio dei libri è sempre un luogo di incontro con i libri e tra i lib…
Television shows based on video games 1975-2019: Original data and preliminary analysis
2020
This dataset consists of data of different types of television shows based on video games from years mentioned in the title. The data has been used in articles and conference presentations before (e.g. Kerttula 2019; Kerttula 2020). The data is free to use in any future publications with proper references to the author and the original data.
