espanolEl objetivo de este trabajo consiste en aplicar la dialectica analogica desarrollada por Platon como una metodologia adecuada para comprender su pensamiento. En este sentido, abordare en primer lugar las aclaraciones terminologicas necesarias para delimitar el planteamiento de la cuestion y prestar una especial atencion a la nocion de symploke introducida por Platon y desarrollada posteriormente por Jesus G. Maestro como uno de los criterios hermeneuticos centrales que la Critica de la literatura debe tener en cuenta para evitar caer en el univocidad interpretativa o en la equivocidad propia de la postmodernidad. En segundo lugar, realizare una aproximacion metodologica a la lectura …

Dialectics and contradictions in public procurement of information systems

2014

Published version of a chapter from the book M. Janssen, H. Scholl, M. Wimmer & F. Bannister (Eds.), Electronic Government : Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2014. Also available on SpringerLink: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-662-44426-9_24 Public procurement of Information Systems is a highly complex process. Not surprisingly, systems often fail to meet the needs for which they were procured. One of the main causes of this is the contradictions between goals of different stakeholders. Identifying and understanding these conflicts and contradictions are essential to develop strategies to improve the procurement process. In this paper, we present a case study where we examined the procurement p…

Book Review: Dialectics in Social Thought

2014

Taking the Biographical approach seriously – what does it mean for the concept of biographicity?

2018

The article starts from the dialectic relationship between “the biographicity of the social” and “the sociality of the biographical” – a relationship especially underlined in the works of Bettina Dausien (e.g. 2006). Starting from here, we have not only to look at “what” is reconstructed here, but also “how” this reconstruction is presented . By this, the complex powerful social processes of “addressing” and “being addressed” come into the center of interest (Rose/Ricken, 2018:). Addressing and the way people let themselves “being addressed” (Althusser) – if and how they let themselves being addressed – this question opens up for processes of subjectivation, as has been conceptualized by Ju…

River Contracts for Innovation in Territorial Governance

2016

Emerged in France in 1980s as agreements oriented to the requalification of rivers and lakes, river contracts represent an important outcome of the decentralization process, developed in Europe in reply to the growing institutional fragmentation. In this scenario, rivers have become a dialectic arena in which the exploitation and management of water resources came to terms with environmental instances, and offered the breeding ground for concerted efforts between policy makers, stakeholders and communities. In this chapter, the analysis is focused on the river contract model and the related set of instruments capable of supporting concerted and participatory management processes both with r…

Italian Heroines: Literature, Gender, and the Construction of the Nation

2019

Scholarship on Italian nationhood has historically focused on heroes rather than on heroines, in line with the established gendered dialectical relationship between the female nation (who nurtures those who fight for her), and the male patriot, who both adores and possesses her. However, it is argued that Italian literary heroines prove at least as productive as heroes, if not more, when it comes to generating alternative views on the nation. This essay offers an introduction to a themed issue that aims to fill this scholarly gap in relation to ideas about the Italian nation and nationhood.

Paul Ricoeur's Surprising Take on Recognition

2011

This essay examines Paul Ricœur’s views on recognition in his book The Course of Recognition. It highlights those aspects that are in some sense surprising, in relation to his previous publications and the general debates on Hegelian Anerkennung and the politics of recognition. After an overview of Ricœur’s book, the paper examines the meaning of “recognition” in Ricœur’s own proposal, in the dictionaries Ricœur uses, and in the contemporary debates. Then it takes a closer look at the ideas of recognition as identification and as “taking as true.” Then it turns to recognition (attestation) of oneself, in light of the distinction between human constants (and the question “What am I?”), and h…

The dialectics of spatial performances: The interplay of tensions in activity-based organizing

2019

Navigating organizational workspace is often plagued with tensions that emerge from the interplay of intended designs with organizational activities and lived experiences. These tensions are evident in research findings, such as inconsistencies in the ways that employees react to new workplace designs. They call on scholars to rethink organizational space, not as a concrete, static, or ready-made ‘thing’, but as a set of ongoing performances that enact particular practices, clashes among opposites, and organizational tensions. Based on research in a Nordic company, this study reveals how tensions and responses to them in an activity-based office generate creative alternatives that enhance …

IL negativo in questione. Una lettura di Adorno

2017

Adorno’s critique of Hegel goes beyond the terms of a facile opposition between a positive and reconciled formula of dialectics and a negative version that insists on unresolved conflict. It should not be simplistically placed under the sign of reiteration of the negative. On the contrary, one could say that what is damaged by Adorno’s philosophical proposal is precisely the negative in a radical sense affecting the fate of dialectics tout court. his is because the deeper meaning of Adorno’s reference to the non-identical appears, precisely, as an instance of suppression of dialectical thinking as such. hat is to say, the non-identical can reveal its face only to a gaze that, paradoxically,…
