Erweiterung des Kantismus, Umgestaltung der Metaphysik. Il giovane Viktor von Weizsäcker lettore di Kant
2015
This paper aims to examine the relationships between the research of young Viktor von Weizsäcker and Kant’s critical thinking. Starting from the criticism of Driesch’s Neovitalism, here are considered some of the major contributions of Weizsacker in the years 1911-1926, in order to show its path between criticism of knowledge, metaphysics, construction of a biology and a medical anthropology.
Modelo Barcelona y política cultural: usos y abusos de la cultura por parte de un modelo emprendedor de desarrollo local
2015
El Modelo Barcelona de desarrollo local ha sido intensamente debatido· Desde su inicio en los años ochenta hasta la actualidad, diversos autores han analizado sus características como modelo, destacado sus éxitos y también sus puntos débiles. No obstante, menos atención ha recibido la relación que existe entre el modelo de desarrollo local y el modelo de política cultural, a pesar de que Barcelona también es internacionalmente conocida por su dinamismo cultural. De manera habitual, este modelo de política cultural ha sido interpretado como un instrumento en la agenda de desarrollo local. El presente artículo mostrará, a partir de análisis de diversos casos ejemplares, que la política cultur…
Post memory and cinematic affect in The Midwife
2017
The Second World War has proved a rich source of inspiration for fiction films worldwide. The Finnish fiction film The Midwife (Kätilö, Antti J. Jokinen, 2015) is aimed at an international audience with a story that takes place in the context of the Lapland War in Finland in 1944. The film tells of a romantic relationship between a local woman and a member of the German army, in a highly affective manner. This article argues that the film downplays elements that might have interested the national, or local, audience, and that it privileges affect over knowledge. To bring out the film’s transnational character, the article begins by analysing it in the context of national, or local, and glob…
Showing and Saying. An Aesthetic Difference
2013
Wittgenstein’s distinction between saying and showing and the associated thesis, what can be shown cannot be said, were crucial to his first philosophy, persisted throughout the evolution of his whole thought and played a key role in his views on aesthetics. The objective of art is access to the mystical, forcing us to become aware of the uniqueness of our own experience and life. When art is good is a perfect expression and the work of art becomes like a tautology. An important consequence of this understanding of art is the irreducibility of the aesthetic to the scientific perspective.
An Italian Urban “Fashion” The Urban 1 Programme as a Catalyst for Institutional Planning Shift
2014
Since the 1990s Italy has been going through changes and experiments concerning modes and tools of urban government. New methods, based on publicprivate partnership, on a consensual basis, were progressively adopted, overcoming the traditional authoritative mechanisms and role of public actors. The contribution of Community policies such as initiatives on urban areas, has been crucial in creating new tools, influencing the existing ones and activating new approaches to planning. This paper builds some theoretical considerations on the contributions the implementation of European Programmes has given to the changes in the conception of urban interventions and thedebated shift in urban polic…
La costruzione del concetto di omologia e i vincoli materiali della forma
2016
Il concetto di omologia riveste un ruolo centrale nella biologia teoretica contemporanea perché attorno ad esso e per suo tramite trovano articolazione numerosi progetti di ricerca miranti a ripensare la centralità dell’organismo, i suoi percorsi evolutivi e il significato della sua interazione con la realtà ambientale. La rete di omologie che tesse l’organismo permette di strutturarne e canalizzarne le innovazioni morfologiche e funzionali. Appunto questa componente sistemica rende dunque l’omologia un concetto fondamentale per una considerazione dinamica della forma vivente, come quella cui mira un’estetica che non intenda limitarsi a indagare sull’atteggiamento estetico e sulle produzion…
«Evo-devo meets the Mind». La questione dell’esperienza estetica e l’evoluzionismo contemporaneo, dall’ipotesi degli adattamenti modulari all’interpr…
2013
Is it achievable to read aesthetic experience as a modular adaptation, and what would be its implication on the image of man, on aesthetics and on evolutionary theory itself? An alternative path is offered by evolutionary morphology, starting from the elaboration of a biologic concept of organism and from the notion of homology of function as a system of interconnections organized in a hierarchy. We deduce the possibility of thinking the peculiar innovation of aesthetic experience in an evolutionary way.
Neuroestetica e fenomenologia della percezione pittorica e musicale
2008
Neuroaesthetics aims at working out a neurobiological theory of aesthetic experience that accounts for neural invariants of perceptual properties fo artworks. In this paper, arguments are proposed that deal with the specification of the intended domain of application, its implications for neurobiological evidence that qualifies as explanans, the contribution that a rigorous phenomenological explanation of the perceptual variety in visual and musical arts can give to an evolutionary account of the cognitive skills underlying arts.
Fenomenologia teorica e sperimentale e scienza della visione
2015
In this theoretical paper, the claim is defended that phenomenology of perception can be integrated into vision science. Different versions of theoretical and experimental phenomenology are presented to specify a minimal set of commitments. It is claimed that the phenomenological research into perception, be it delivered in the form of conceptual analysis or of experimental research, satisfies the epistemological and methodological substantive features of these commitments. As an empirical case for the contribution that the integration of phenomenology into vision science could bring about, the paper presents a received view in the visual neurosciences and the objections against its element…
¿Metrópolis dispersas?
2010
La cuestión de la dispersión urbana constituye hoy un tema de investigación alrededor del cual se ha ido concentrando el interés disciplinar y político-institucional. Tal interés encuentra su respuesta en datos estadísticos (EEA, 2006) que confirman que: el 75% de la población europea vive en áreas urbanas; más de un cuarto del territorio europeo resulta urbanizado, y según las estimaciones en 2020 aproximadamente cerca del 80% de los europeos vivirá en áreas urbanas. Es un campo de la investigación todavía abierto y sobre el cual este trabajo de tesis ha querido reflexionar, siendo consciente que en urbanismo el conocimiento es una acción cognitiva y, al mismo tiempo, proyectual. Por lo ta…
