Cities and Skills for Integration: What Can Urban Planning do? Experiences and Reflections Between Public Spaces and Collective Interest for Urban an…

2018

Immigration and integration of foreign communities is a condition that strongly affects the form and the meaning of public space. In contexts that are new to the phenomenon, there may be an occasion to revise the protocols and models for the development of new spatial relationships, based on the presence of communities that are no longer homogeneous. The theme of urban regeneration due to the presence of migrant communities has been addressed in various ways and from different points of view, often focusing on the creation of urban spaces capable of improving livability, rarely with the creation of integration processes or the construction of new urban identities. However, a resilient point…

Resilience, security and the politics of processes

2014

The prominence of resilience thinking in contemporary governance and security policies has received increasing critical attention. By engaging in dialogue with some of these recent critiques, predominantly leaning on biopolitics or neoliberal governmentality, this article develops an Arendtian reading of resilience as a temporal regime of processuality. Originating from life sciences such as ecology and complexity thinking, the increasingly malleable resilience discourse privileges the functioning of societal life processes over political action and human artifice. The article argues that this ‘rule of nobody’ is in danger of suffocating the concept of public space, so crucial for politics …

Information and hierarchical structure in financial markets

1999

I investigate the information content present in the time series of stock prices of a portfolio of stocks traded in a financial market. By investigating the correlation coefficient between pairs of stocks I provide a working definition of a generalized distance between the stocks of the portfolio. This generalized distance is used to obtain an ultrametric distance matrix between the stocks. The ultrametric structure of the portfolio investigated has associated a taxonomy which is meaningful from an economic point of view.

Sobre la interiorización del espacio social

2009

The author explores the relationships between the exterior world and the inner world in the diverse types of messages and reproducing products of the mass media, analyzing the cultural roots, the ideological, political, and social features that these relationships show. The different reproducing cultural forms create passages and virtual spaces which mediates the space to link it with the inner life. Above all, the author finds that the meditating and informative processing of the public space has a direct link with the modern capitalism in its expansive and privatizing tendency, and it is essential to study today into depth the processes which connect the expansion pf cultural and informat…

Biopolitics and Hegemony in Contemporary Russian Cultural Policy

2018

Since 2011, Russian ‘licensing civil society’ 1 has predominated through censorship and the restrictive regulation of arts and cultural societies. The current conservative project has turned artistic space into public space, indicating moral abuse and a threat to the spiritual health of the Russian nation. Consequently, the symbolic borders of human creativity and individual freedom in arts and cultural societies have been reduced to patriotism, nationalism and moral deductive functions of the state-approved program. This paper will explore Russian state cultural policy and argue that biopolitics is its mainstream strategy. It examines how the ensemble of sovereign and disciplinary power de…

La recuperación del espacio público y la evolución del patrimonio común : prácticas colaborativas a través de la agencia cultural / Restoring the pub…

2017

Resumen: Este artículo revisa el uso de prácticas creativas promovidas por agentes culturales que compiten discursivamente con la racionalidad instrumental imperante en las sociedades modernas contemporáneas. Particularmente, los casos que aquí se exploran son acciones colaborativas llevadas a cabo por dos asociaciones de la ciudad mexicana de Guadalajara: el despacho de urbanismo CUADRA y Fundación CEDAT. Se analizan, por un lado, iniciativas de intervención artística a través del grafiti como forma de creación de identidad; y por el otro, la exposición y comunicación realizada a través del documental como herramientas de reactivación y socialización de espacios públicos.Palabras clave: ag…

Política de la supervivencia / Politics of Survival

2017

Resumen: Distintas intervenciones desde prácticas activistas y culturales en torno al VIH escenifican poéticas y políticas del resto corporal en las que se juegan, por un lado, una reorganización de los modos en que se dramatiza en umbral entre lo vivo y lo muerto en lo público –redefiniendo así el tejido mismo de lo que llamamos “comunidad”—; y por otro, indican los modos en que estos activismos impulsan una disputa sobre los “marcos de temporalización” desde los cuales lo viviente se vuelve reconocible políticamente y donde la noción de supervivencia adquiere una centralidad decisiva. Combinando materiales heterogéneos el artículo busca iluminar los modos en que los activismos y las cultu…

Subcellular localization of pentachlorophenol 4-monooxygenase in Sphingobium chlorophenolicum ATCC 39723.

2002

Abstract We have studied the subcellular localization of pentachlorophenol 4-monooxygenase (PCP4MO) in Sphingobium chlorophenolicum ATCC 39723 during induction by pentachlorophenol (PCP). Using a monoclonal antibody CL6 specific to the native and recombinant PCP4MO, the enzyme was primarily found soluble as determined by immunoblot and ELISA analyses of cellular fractions. However, the enzyme was observed both in the soluble and membrane-bound forms during induction for 2–4 h, suggesting its translocation out from the cytoplasm. Electron microscopy confirmed that PCP4MO was predominantly present in the cytoplasm at 1 h, whereas at 4 h significant amount was detected also in the membrane and…
