Per uno studio dei bozzetti della Fabrique neuve de Cortaillod (XVIII-XIX secolo)

2019

Partendo dall’analisi di un gruppo di bozzetti della Fabrique neuve de Cortaillod (XVIII-XIX secolo), l’autrice prende in esame il processo di interazione tra moda e sviluppo industriale nell’Europa del secondo Settecento, attraverso l’approfondimento dei processi di adattamento dei modelli orientali al gusto europeo e delle tecniche di stampa adottate in Europa Starting from the analysis of a group of sketches of the Fabrique neuve de Cortaillod (18th-19th century), the author examines the process of interaction between fashion and industrial development in Europe in the second half of the 18th century, through an in-depth study of the processes of adaptation of oriental models to European…

Radical conservatism and the Heideggerian right : Heidegger, de Benoist, Dugin

2022

The paper studies the significance of Martin Heidegger's philosophy of history for two key thinkers of contemporary radical conservatism and the Identitarian movement, Alain de Benoist and Aleksandr Dugin. Heidegger's often-overlooked affinities with the German “conservative revolution” of the Weimar period have in recent years been emphasized by an emerging radical-conservative “right-Heideggerian” orientation. I first discuss the later Heidegger's “being-historical” narrative of the culmination and end of the metaphysical foundations of Western modernity in the contemporary Nietzschean era of nihilism and of an emerging postmodern “other beginning” of Western thinking, focused on historic…

Enhancing Software Engineering Education in Africa through a Metaversity

2022

Software engineering education requires a new boost in African higher education, because of the high demand for professionals, caused by the fast increasing internet connections calling for meaningful applications and governmental initiatives like Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR), and the current situation where universities graduate software engineers that cannot serve in the job markets. Inspired by the Conceive, Design, Implement and Operate (CDIO) model for engineering education and the CATI model for curriculum reform focusing on contextually relevant education in the Global South, we introduce how a complementary model for a conventional university, i.e. metaversity, can enhance sof…

The goal of the article is to classify foliations of S3 by regular canal surfaces, that is envelopes of one-parameter families of spheres which are immersed surfaces. We will add some extra information when the leaves are “surfaces of revolution” in a conformal sense.

Trade And Environment: A Historical Perspective

2015

Abstract The relation between international trade and environmental and social issues has deep historical roots, having been manifest ever since the first industrial revolution. Ironically, the expansion of industrial activities marked, besides the exit from economic backwardness, the commencement of an inexorable war of men against nature. Concomitantly industrialization laid the groundwork for an explosive increase in international trade, which made the latter responsible for increasing environment degradation and social rights infringement. The removal of trade barriers in the first decades after the Second World War as well as the subsequent regulation induced by globalization rendered …

Constitution and Truth. The controversy between Rafael de Vélez and Joaquín Lorenzo Villanueva with regards to the Apología del Trono

2017

This paper examines anti-liberal reactionary discourse in the first few years of the Spanish (liberal) Revolution. It is centred on the controversy that liberal congressman Joaquín Lorenzo Villanueva and publicist and Capuchin Friar Rafael de Vélez courted between 1820 and 1825. The sources used refer directly to the writings of both protagonists taking Friar Vélez’s «Apología del Trono» as their starting point. Methodologically, the analysis’ perspective adopts part of the theoretical consideration that critique of Liberalism, in its diverse manifestations, was an inherent part of the revolutionary process rather than a marginal element of it. Analysis of said writings reveals the historic…

Secondly, bankruptcy is addressed as an indicator of economic dynamism and entrepreneurial spirit. Thirdly, attitudes to bankruptcy are approached from the perspective of legal and social forgiveness. The era of industrialization gave rise to ev…

Partycypacja na siłę i jej nieoczekiwane konsekwencje: państwowy socjalizm a nowoczesna klasa robotnicza

2016

W artykule omawiane są przemiany społeczne w Polsce, przyniesione przez państwowy socjalizm po drugiej wojnie światowej. Opierając się na założeniu o „prześnionej rewolucji” (Leder 2014), argumentuje, że metody, którymi ówczesne władze mobilizowały ludzi do działania, nosiły znamiona partycypacji społecznej, choć w wielu przypadkach była to partycypacja inspirowana, a nawet wymuszona. Jako element mobilizacji społecznej przyczyniła się do uprawomocnienia klas niższych – robotników i chłopów. Skutkiem tego procesu była zdolność tych klas do podjęcia dyskusji z decydentami, dzięki czemu początkowi „beneficjenci” socjalizmu nie tylko byli w stanie sprzeciwić się aparatowi partyjnemu i przyczyn…
