Beyond Democracy: The Attica Prison Uprising
Authors: Zuckerwise Lena
Published: January 2025

The Attica Prison Uprising of 1971 is an iconic event in US public memory. This four day-long protest against inhuman prison conditions ended in a poorly-executed bloodbath of state power. Despite the fact that Attica has inspired all forms of cultural production, from hip hop lyrics to feature films, it remains more or less overlooked by political theorists. This chapter offers a thorough account of the event and interprets it as an act of radical world-building in an Arendtian register. In addition, the Attica Prison Uprising invites readers to consider the limits of democratic theory. Via critiques of Wendy Brown, Jurgen Habermas, and Sheldon Wolin, the second section of the chapter explains why some of the most familiar constructs associated with democracy, such as the demos, public sphere, citizenship, and more cannot map onto Black captive resistance.
The Art or Poetics of Hospitality
Authors: Naas Michael
Published: January 2025

After having argued in the previous two chapters that Derrida’s thinking of hospitality calls for a constant negotiation or back-and-forth across the threshold between a conditional hospitality and an unconditional one, this chapter demonstrates Derrida’s desire to supplement this more formal relationship between two kinds of hospitality with what he calls an “art” or a “poetics” of hospitality, one that aims for a mean between excess and deficiency. This chapter underscores the very different linguistic and philosophical register introduced by this art or poetics of hospitality, an art or poetics that requires a sort of “discretion” or “politesse” as one tries to find in any given circumstance the “right” or “just” relationship between the one offering hospitality and the one being offered it.
Phantasms of Fatherlands and Mother Tongues
Authors: Naas Michael
Published: January 2025

This is the first of two chapters on the question of hospitality in relationship to fatherlands, mother tongues, and the phantasms to which they can both give rise. The chapter begins with what Derrida calls the two nostalgias or two longings of all exiled or displaced persons—the longing to return to the place of one’s buried ancestors (one will recall Antigone longing to see Oedipus’s place of burial in Athens) and the longing for a language, in particular, a mother tongue. Derrida goes on to suggest that this latter might be the most “unbreakable” of all phantasms because we have the impression that we take this mother tongue—as opposed to a fatherland—with us wherever we go, indeed, even into exile. It is, Derrida argues, this phantasm of a mother tongue that would be absolutely ours, inalienable, a sort of “second skin” that is, perhaps, at the basis of all phantasms of propriety and ownership.
Latinx Revolutionary Horizons
Authors: Hudson Renee
Published: January 2025

Latinx revolutionary horizons are a hemispheric project in which contemporary Latinx authors return to earlier moments of revolution to theorize a liberatory latinidad that is not yet here. Rather than viewing Latinx as solely a category of identification, Hudson argues for an expansive, historicized sense of the term that illuminates its political potential. Hudson claims the x in Latinx as marking the suspension and tension between how Latin American descended people identify and the future politics of latinidad that the x points us toward. Hudson contends that latinidad can signal a politics grounded in shared struggles and histories rather than merely a mode of identification. In this way, Latinx Revolutionary Horizons reads against current calls for cancelling latinidad based on its presumed anti-Black and anti-Indigenous framework. Instead, Hudson argues for a liberatory latinidad that is not yet here. To examine the not-yet-here of latinidad, she investigates the connection between the revolutionary history of the Americas and the creation of new genres in the hemisphere. By comparing colonialisms, she charts a revolutionary genealogy across a range of movements such as the Mexican Revolution, the Filipino People Power Revolution, resistance to Trujillo in the Dominican Republic, and the Cuban Revolution. In pairing nineteenth-century authors alongside contemporary Latinx ones, Hudson examines a longer genealogy of Latinx resistance. In imagining a truly transnational latinidad, Latinx Revolutionary Horizons thus rewrites our understanding of the nationalist formations that continue to characterize Latinx Studies.
Retconning Revolution
Authors: Hudson Renee
Published: January 2025

Chapter 4 examines how, in Monkey Hunting (2003), Cristina García breaks the mold of the bildungsroman immigrant novel by expanding notions of U.S. latinidad. She focuses on Cuba within a transnational framework that also considers China, the U.S., and Vietnam. This chapter also takes up the issue of revising national literary histories by examining how Monkey Hunting draws upon Miguel Barnet’s Biography of a Runaway Slave (1966). In reimagining Montejo’s narrative as Chen Pan’s, García reveals solidarity on the level of form, particularly as Monkey Hunting writes against the historiography of the Cuban Revolution (1953–1959). Hudson then reads Gertrudis Gómez de Avellaneda’s Sab (1841) alongside García’s work and analyzes how Avellaneda relies on testimonio, or first-person accounts, to argue for the rights of enslaved people and women. García extends Avellaneda’s tactics by using testimonio to contend with the Cuban Revolution’s failure to eradicate racism in Cuban culture, implying that contemporary novels are tasked with testifying to the controversial aspects of the past that current regimes prefer to ignore. In this way, García also demonstrates the shared experiences of oppressed peoples in the Americas and offers new imaginaries for liberation that succeed through retroactive continuity (retconning).
In-Between Comforts for Forever Wars
Authors: Kozol Wendy
Published: January 2025

This chapter examines the practice of care packaging and DIY instructional literature produced by and for military spouses. Heavily illustrated blogs by military spouses about care-packaging visualize aspirational goals whereby the stresses and hazards of deployment can be managed through consumer goods. Creators of both the care packages and the surrounding discourse rely upon a rationed indexicality to express their feelings and assert their subjectivities while navigating the strictures of militarized expectations. Considering the asymptotic pulls between presence and absence, and desire and fulfillment, this chapter argues that this visual culture is not simply an expression of the racialized heteronormativity endorsed by the military but is also an evocative record of tactics for surviving the war in-between.
Material Selection and Characterization Based on Shape, Size Enhance Thermal Stability for Energy Storage Applications
Authors: Y. Patil Bhushan , P. Salunke Nilesh , R. Diware Vijay
Published: January 2025

The study explores phase change materials enhanced with complex dispersants, primarily aimed at improving the efficiency of TES systems. The energy storage and chemical stability of transition particles are anticipated to be highly dependent on their shape and size. The samples are characterized based on melting and solidification phases evaluated. Commercial phase change materials (0.1 wt.%) such as Al2O3, C13H11NO, C6H14O6, C6H6O2, Fe2O3, KSCN, C7H6O3, and ZnO at different pH stability (2.4-7.035) having purity 99% were dispersed in H2O and Ethylene glycol. The effect of particles in phase change materials was analyzed using TGA, FTIR, XRD, zeta potential, particle size, and FESEM for Al₂O₃ and C₆H₆O₂. The TGA enhances thermal stability with melting point temperature range from 184°C to 189.90°C mixture of Al₂O₃ and C₆H₆O₂ under weight loss conditions. The performance of zeta potential and particle size was evaluated and significantly impact their pH stability of low to medium temperature. Zeta potential is measured using methods such as concentration-based volume fraction analysis and the electrophoretic migration technique. To enhance performance the synthesis and characterization of functional materials rely significantly on determining their isoelectric point. To define functional group base hydrophobic and hydrogen bonding as their primary driving forces. For PCMs, the XRD method is utilized to analyze the atomic spacing and crystal structure in order to identify every potential plane. The spherical structure of nanophase changes particles and the required form of a rod were potential improvements for high-energy storage stability applications.
Acute Pain Recognition using an Ensemble Learning Methods: Evaluation of Performance and Comparison
Authors: S. Patil Manisha , D. Patil Hitendra
Published: January 2025

Accurate assessment and classification of acute pain are critical for optimal therapy, particularly in healthcare environments in which early intervention might prevent chronic pain development. Conventional pain recognition approaches mostly depend on the self-reported information, which can be subjective by psychological factors and communication problems, especially in nonverbal organizations. Recent advancements in technology have provided new opportunities for pain recognition using facial images and biomedical signals such as electromyography (EMG). In this work, we proposed an ensemble learning-based model that combines both face images and EMG data for acute pain classification, and the CNN ShuffleNet V2 approach is used for feature extraction. Our objective for pain classification is to correct classification for pain intensity levels from T0 to T4 (no pain vs. pain). We proposed ensemble learning-based techniques like TabNet, LightGBM, Hidden Markov, and Gaussian Process for acute pain classification. We used many kinds of approaches to improve prediction performance, which created a comprehensive framework for pain classification and insights into the physiological and psychological responses to acute pain. Our analysis of results also indicates that the ensemble approach definitely surpasses previous approaches whereby TabNet model accuracy came to be 97.8%. Also, this model has great F1 score of 97.6%, as well as recall at 97.3%, while on kappa score, it goes up to 92.4%, indicating great dependability. These results present a good optimism that our ensemble learning technique could change the face of pain assessment procedures and therefore patient care in acute pain treatment.
The Influence of Sport Participation on Job Performance of University Lecturers in Rivers State
Authors: Ochor Daniel Chinonso
Published: January 2025

This study examines the influence of sport participation on the job performance of university lecturers in Rivers State, focusing on its effects on physical health, mental well-being, cognitive function, and overall job satisfaction. A mixed-method approach was employed, involving 200 lecturers who completed structured questionnaires and interviews. The findings revealed a statistically significant positive correlation between sports participation and physical health, with 67.5% of respondents strongly agreeing that regular sports improved their fitness (χ² = 24.083, df = 199, p < 0.05). Additionally, 62% reported experiencing fewer health issues, such as hypertension and diabetes, due to sports participation. The study also demonstrated that sports participation significantly reduces stress levels, with 54% strongly agreeing that it helps in managing stress and anxiety (χ² = 19.635, df = 199, p < 0.05). Cognitive function was notably enhanced, with 58.5% of lecturers agreeing that sports participation improved their concentration and mental clarity (χ² = 39.952, df = 199, p < 0.05). These improvements improved teaching effectiveness, increased research productivity, and enhanced administrative efficiency. Given these findings, the study rejects the null hypotheses and concludes that regular engagement in sports activities significantly enhances both physical and mental health, thereby improving job performance. The study recommends promoting sports programs, flexible scheduling, better access to facilities, and awareness campaigns to encourage regular participation among lecturers, which is essential for optimizing their professional effectiveness in the academic environment of Rivers State.
Ovid’s Amores 2.8: A Genuine Offence
Authors: Shayne Ryan
Published: January 2025

In this article, I provide a close examination of Ovid’s Amores 2.8 that focuses on how the poet-lover’s use of persuasory rhetoric enables him to bully and silence the subaltern Cypassis. My discussion challenges Patricia Watson’s claim (in “Ovid Amores 2.7 and 8: The Disingenuous Defence”) that this poem has comparably less forensic qualities and rhetorical elements than its counterpart (2.7). I argue that forensic and rhetorical elements permeate the text and become increasingly blatant as the poem proceeds. By employing declamatory and oratorical techniques, the poet-lover weaponises his rhetorical education, a privilege afforded to him by his status as an elite Roman male, in order to intimidate, manipulate, and ultimately blackmail Cypassis, the uneducated, defenceless, and mute subaltern. I suggest that it is a mischaracterisation to refer to this approach as a ‘seduction’; it is a calculated exertion of power that enacts gendered violence.
La retraite, une question de bon sens
Authors: Mercier Thibault
Published: January 2025

Suivant, dans un premier temps, la pensée de Bernard Friot, cet article montre que la question des retraites est bien plus qu’une question de répartition des revenus : à travers elle se joue une lutte pour la fixation du sens du travail, son bon sens. Mais en rester à ce conflit économico-sémantique serait méconnaître la portée déconstructrice d’une pensée qui prend la retraite au sérieux, la pose comme « première ». Dans un second temps, s’inscrivant dans les pas de Derrida, il s’agit d’accompagner le mouvement de la retraite dans la déconstruction du sens en tant que tel, du sens du sens ; c’est-à-dire à mettre en crise l’ontologie qui soutient toute pensée économique, aussi renversante soit-elle. C’est finalement l’ouverture de l’économie sur son dehors, la rupture du cercle de l’échange, le don tel qu’il est thématisé par Lévinas, qui apparaît comme l’angle le plus pertinent pour aborder la question de la retraite, dont l’enjeu est la justice avant la souveraineté.
Antigone messa a nudo dai suoi celibi ovvero pulsione di morte e politica della vita
Authors: Moroncini Bruno
Published: January 2025

The interpretation of Sophocles’ Antigone which can be found in Jacques Lacan’s Seminar on The Ethics of Psychoanalysis (1959-1960) clarifies the role of the death drive in Freudian metapsychology. Death drive is not the psychological counterpart of neither physical science (especially thermodynamics) or biological science. Rather, on the one hand Freudian Todestrieb reveals the historical dimension of human being, on the other hand it gives a new direction to human desire. This leads to important consequences concerning both ethics and politics.
L’Altra assoluta
Authors: Guglielmo Stefania
Published: January 2025

The aim of the text is to propose a reading of the Greek tragedy Medea starting from Jacques Derrida's thought. The stakes of this work are not limited to applying some key elements of deconstruction to the figure of Medea. Above all, the essay aims to show how the story of this barbarian woman from Colchis can embody and clarify some fundamental concepts proposed by Derrida to rethink the dimension of the political. Medea is a figure very close to what in Derrida's philosophy is called The Other and her story, narrated by Euripides, gives an idea of the extreme and provocative character that always belongs to absolute hospitality.
Ma gli schiavi cantano
Authors: Solla Gianluca
Published: January 2025

The history of theater testifies how a special power lurks in the choir: it can help those slaves who have lost it as a result of their condition of radical subjugation and the violence to which they have been subjected to find a new entry into the language. The essay tries to construct the hypothesis of this minor and so to speak karst connection between ancient Greek theater and the songs of the slaves, as they are inserted in a mainstream film based on a true story, 12 Years a Slave, by British director Steve McQueen.
On the representation of body and space in the eulogies for Rosa Parks
Authors: Arizzi Cristina
Published: January 2025

Debunking the stereotype of Rosa Parks as a simple seamstress who unwittingly unleashed the start to the Civil Rights movement, this paper explores some eulogies delivered at her funeral to see how the almost mythological narrative about her merges with the narrative of her as a real person embodying the oxymoron of physical smallness and iconic greatness. The negotiation for social recognition that Parks’ example sparked in 1955 is presented in terms of the representation of space in the eulogies.
Do the Right Movies
Authors: Gresleri Lapo
Published: January 2025

This essay examines how the films of Spike Lee dismantle certain stereotypes related to black people, demonstrating that an alternative thought and identity may represent an enrichment for the majority, and not just a source of fear or derision. I will consider Lee’s Girl 6 (1996), Bamboozled (2000) and BlaKkKlansman (2018). The aforementioned movies have been particularly effective in overturning the rhetorical mechanisms linked to the Savage, Coon and Victim models in American entertainment.
Casualità dei mondi, e della storia
Authors: Salza Luca
Published: January 2025

In De Rerum Natura, the great associations between atoms are unstable and cannot last.  As things move, meaninglessly and in an infinite vacuum, they violently collide with each other, causing everything to unravel. In this article, we ask whether Lucretius also offers us ways of 'practising' catastrophe.  The hypothesis we formulate here is that the choice of poetry constitutes a 'practice' of this worldview.
La poesia delle cose
Authors: Zanardi Maurizio
Published: January 2025

In De Rerum Natura, nature is embodied by events happening. Caused by the unpredictable, incalculable deviation (clinamen) of the atoms’ movement, events happen without reason, meaning and scope. Nature is chance. There is no archè from where things come from and which governs those things. Absolutely contingent, abandoned to the consequences of their encounters, those things go adrift. The sage seeks to develop the theoretical and practical implications of Lucrezio’s doctrine of things.
Éloge de la « production hasardeuse » : le De rerum natura de Lucrèce au miroir de l’Anti-nature de Clément Rosset
Authors: Ballestra-Puech Sylvie
Published: January 2025

This paper aims to show how Clément Rosset's thought of anti-nature has renewed the interpretation of De rerum natura. For Rosset meaning of the word natura as used by Lucretius is as far as possible from the Aristotelian meaning of nature that so deeply informs the occidental concept of nature. Natura means by Lucretius absolute rejection of any form of finalism. Everything that is born is the result of chance. This observation has the consequence of abolishing the border between natural production and artistic production. Such an abolition must be compared to the analogy between the combination of letters and that of atoms as developed by Lucretius in his poem. Target of the anti-Epicurean controversy which tries, in vain to turn it over into a finalist perspective, this analogy allows us to think of the production of matter and that of the text as a production under the sign of chance and insignificance. Rosset and Francis Ponge, another great reader of Lucretius, deploy the ethical consequences of this nsignificance to achieve an aesthetic of happiness.
Il pensiero e la natura delle cose Deleuze con Lucrezio e Proust
Authors: Angelucci Daniela
Published: January 2025

The naturalism of Lucretius, to which Deleuze in the sixties dedicates an essay later collected in Logic of sense, plays a significant role in the entire thought of the French philosopher, for at least two aspects. First of all, atomism and pluralism return with evidence in the construction of a philosophy of difference, especially in Difference and Repetition but also in other texts. Second, the description of the encounter with simulacra in perception resonates with the idea of the violent encounter with the signs of sensibility, the only mode of emergence of true thought according to Deleuze. In the article I would like to develop this idea by linking it to another book of those years, namely the volume on Proust.
Le Spectateur embarqué
Authors: Hervé Stéphane
Published: January 2025

The real according to Lucretius refuses the theater, it defies the powers of the theater and its apparatus: how can one give a theatrical account of the invisible vortex of atoms? How can one be a spectator of this vortex without being a god? How can one experience the shocks of the atoms, the unfounding Nature collectively? This article proposes to consider, through the analysis of Maguy Marin's performance Turba, the ways in which the theater can help us perceive the unfounding Nature and what political experiences can emerge from this sensory and philosophical experience.
Laborintus II de Luciano Berio pensé comme un laboratoire social
Authors: Marsan Simon
Published: January 2025

In this article, we’ll suggest some general ideas about nature and culture concepts. Those concepts will be to link with the music of Luciano Berio (1925-2003). This initiation hopes to bring out a Lucrecian approach in the Laborintus II (1965) of Berio. And also we’ll hope to bring out an implied social ecology dimension in this work.
Baleine blanche et carré blanc : puissances destituantes
Authors: Lacouture Fabien
Published: January 2025

This article considers Kazimir Malevich's Suprematist Composition: White on White, painted in 1918 (Moma, New-York), in relation to Herman Melville's novel Moby-Dick, and more specifically to the white whale that constitutes its focal point. The white square and the white whale are destituting entities, one of painting, the other of literature, by their whiteness and materiality. But the destitution that they generate is a first step to access a higher dimension.
Metamorfosi dello spazio e riduzione dell’umano: Kafka e l’animale
Authors: de Conciliis Eleonora
Published: January 2025

The purpose of this paper is re-reading some Kafka’s tales concerning the (un)relationship between man and animal, their problematic separation or mismatch. The object of the analysis is therefore the metamorphosis of animal into man and viceversa – and hence of their prospective exchange –, as well as the peculiar way of experience and deformation of the space.
Canetti e Kafka
Authors: Crivella Giuseppe
Published: January 2025

This text attempts to develop a comparison between the narrative universe of Kafka and the theses presented by Canetti in the essay Masse und Macht (1960). The purpose of this comparison is to highlight the elements of continuity between the two authors. This crossed reading aims to show how the relationship between mass and power - highlighted by Canetti - can become a hermeneutical tool for analyzing Kafka’s narrative.
Ninfa hollywoodiana. Il gesto di Marilyn
Authors: Solla Gianluca
Published: January 2025

In the essay Marilyn’s figure is thought through the reference to the Nymph in Italian Renaissance painting. In particular, my hypothesis is that Marilyn constitutes a posthumous survival of the Nymph. The connection between distant and apparently incommunicable worlds like Ghirlandaio’s and Botticelli’s works and the cinematography of Hollywood is made possible by Aby Warburg’s extraordinary intuition about the existence of a pathos that is a power that circulates between the ages and that, from time to time, finds in the symbols and pictures its different formalizations. Even when they belong to different moments of history, there is a secret but powerful communication among the images of a culture.
L’acteur de cinéma : une figure de la destitution
Authors: Pignarre Florence
Published: January 2025

This article aims to show that the actor is a figure of the dismissal. First, it highlights that the actor is dismissed from his sensitive being, his role as an interpreter, and his real personality. However, it insists that, at the same time, the actor has the power to dismiss the economical and mediatic system which makes him exist. The actress and star Marylin Monroe crystalizes that in her personal, professional, and public life.
Il doppio corpo di Marilyn
Authors: Cerenza Roberto
Published: January 2025

The main idea this essay elaborates upon, is that reality takes shape as a repetition-grounded virtuality of the image – as opposed to the image being simply the repetition of a real referent. Thus, Marilyn Monroe’s iconic figure becomes one of the possible symptoms enabling the possibility to retrace the abovementioned inversion of the relationship between reality and image. In this sense, the concept of a “double body” provides an understanding of how cinema turned out to be ultimately unaffected by Marilyn’s death.
Il tempo della lotta
Authors: Cavalletti Andrea
Published: January 2025

The aim of this paper is to bring to light some philosophical implications of Gustav Landauer's concept of Revolution. This concept is compared with Hermann's Cohen ethic ideal of “infinite task” and, on the other hand, with two brief critical sketches in which Walter Benjamin criticizes the Marburg school's approach. Landauer's ideas of “struggle” and “time” are also compared with Carl Schmitt's concept of “serious case (Erstfall)” and, lastly, with the paradigm of the perfect fight or “Macheus” theorized by Emanuel Lasker (the great chess player who also was a philosopher).
On autochthonous violence
Authors: Yenimazman Deniz
Published: January 2025

This essay analyses the relationship between violence and sacrifice in the context of political agency, starting from its Neolithic origins of religious sacrifice on to the relationship between violence and state power in the modern era. In the view of the author, the contemporary relationship between violence and politics cannot be precisely analysed without taking into account the relationship between computer and internet technology and the libidinal economy of radicalization.
L’iconografia dello schiavo: tra i corpi e le immagini
Authors: Ascari Pierpaolo , Sanò Giuliana
Published: January 2025

This contribution aims at investigating the relationship between the production of images on the slavery and the forms of exploitation of the migrant workforce employed into the agricultural sector. In particular, the authors analyse how the public representation basically oscillate between a depiction of the migrants into the role of the slave with a “broken back” and the one of slave who needs to “break the chains”. By bringing together cases coming from literature and ethnographic experiences, the contribution provides examples of migrants’ self representation.
Monsieur Verdoux e l’assoluta alterità della morte
Authors: Cerenza Roberto
Published: January 2025

While analysing Monsieur Verdoux by Charlie Chaplin, this essay argues that a limit is the actual link between Verdoux and Charlot. Both, in other words, share a limit beyond which the transcendence of death can be glimpsed. As their borders get blurred until they become one, their reciprocal differences becoming indifferent, both Verdoux and Charlot are swallowed in the abyss of the transcendence of death – the same abyss swallowing the very distinction between comedy and noir.
Jeux de l’amour et du hasard dans l’œuvre de Chaplin
Authors: Cavadenti Fabien
Published: January 2025

This article shows how romantic idyll and desertion resonate together to highlight the defective being of Charlot. From the saucy seducer of the beginnings, passing through the sentimentalism of the years 1915-1916, Chaplin experiments with the constant shaping of the character of the vagabond until he captures the singular expression of a being who creates his own love score within modern society.
“Constelada de lágrimas”
Authors: Salza Luca
Published: January 2025

Joan of Arc often cries. As Dreyer shows in his film, La Passion de Jeanne d’Arc, these tears are testimony to her suffering before some unjust judges, but they also allow her to unleash another time within her time. This contribution attempts to show how a status of powerlessness, expressed in weeping, can be transformed into a possibility for collective action.
Sentire la grazia, vedere la voce: note su Giovanna d’Arco
Authors: De Meo Rosa Alba
Published: January 2025

The contribution proposes to read the conceptual figure of Joan of Arc in the light of the absence of her face delivered to us by history. If her appearance was immediately inscribed in the prophetic order of the sign and, in the process that will condemn her to death, in the juridical order of discourse and in that of history, Bresson’s cinema will be able to consign her image to the void that crosses it. In the editing and automatic voice of the model, Jeanne appear as an infigurable grace that dislocates discourse, politics, history. Starting from the excess that her paradoxical sovereignty constitutes, it will be possible to deconstruct the idea of the people that on her icon, on the historical capture of her event, it has been possible to establish.
Jeanne e Sandrine: due figure “senza tetto né legge”
Authors: Rebecchi Marie
Published: January 2025

For his own, very personal reinterpretation of the figure of Joan of Arc in his feature film Jeanne la Pucelle (1994), Jacques Rivette chose the actress Sandrine Bonnaire. Such a choice was incontestably influenced by earlier roles performed by Bonnaire (such as Agnès Varda’s Sans toit ni loi, 1985), but also arguably motivated by some of her own personal biographical circumstances. Strength of mind, physical perseverance, alleged illiteracy and tendency toward mysticism are but a few features common to both the historical character of Jeanne and of Sandrine (Bonnaire).
Arte in fuga verso la rivoluzione
Authors: Perrelli Maria Rosaria
Published: January 2025

This essay aims to investigate the dynamics of the disappearance of the alienated, merchandisable and fetishsed art product, no longer necessary for a life that becomes art in the political activism shared by the Suprematist and Situationist circles, considering also the formal analogies, which, decades later, confirm the convergence between this disappearance bordering on iconoclasm and the revolutionary perspective.
Malevič, la catastrofe dello sguardo
Authors: Calefati Alessandro
Published: January 2025

This paper is an analysis of Malevič’s Suprematist works, interpreted as a dismissal of the symbolic order of vision within the image. In this regard, Malevič’s operation will be described as a politics of the gaze in the face of future catastrophe, guided by the question: how can we imagine future catastrophe if we only have images of the past? It will thus be seen how, by taking this paradigm of vision seriously, it will be possible to imagine a politics of the gaze in the face of catastrophe, through the icon.
Pour la définition d’une cosmo-politique destituante
Authors: Salza Luca
Published: January 2025

A new theorization of the power enables Bruno to think of the infinite: the infinite gives a changing open multiple character to the universe. Bruno brings forward an idea of nature as a continuous production, that makes each form becoming a different one in an everlasting rhythm, which he calls “vicissitude”. How to imagine the human world in this infinite universe, agitated on all sides and in continuous evolution? Thanks to a reform of imagination, Bruno thinks of some “civil” institutions able to take in consideration the temporary and metamorphic status of nature and man. According to us, these institutions appear as a “destituent power”.
La scène infinie de Giordano Bruno
Authors: Hervé Stéphane
Published: January 2025

In this paper, we propose to consider how Giordano Bruno's thought of infinity challenges the Renaissance or baroque concept of the theatrum mundi. The universe can not be a theatre. Yet, the theatre dispositive keeps coming back in the philosopher's work, but as a redefined theater, constantly problematizing its limits and the spectatorship. And then, in Il Candelaio, Bruno seems to us to define what would be a theatre of vicissitudes, in a kind of landscape theatre, which resonates with certain contemporary experiments.
Furore istituente
Authors: Pavan Michele
Published: January 2025

In this text Giordano Bruno's philosophy is compared with aristotelian tradition and Thomas Hobbes' thought in a metapolitical perspective. The final part investigates the possibility of defining Bruno's political conception on the basis of the Deleuzian paradigm of institution.
Il ruolo dell’immaginazione nel pensiero di Giordano Bruno e nelle teorie sulla recitazione
Authors: Gualandri Francesca
Published: January 2025

This paper analyzes the role of imagination in the theory of acting and rhetorical texts, comparing them with the writings of Giordano Bruno about memory, in which the imagination has a prime role in finding these theoretical and methodological elements to improve acting techniques.
Face à l’anthropocène : proposition d'un être-au-monde écologique
Authors: Perrin Climène
Published: January 2025

In this paper, I set out to link the concepts of infinite, potency, matter and universe, as defined by Giordano Bruno in his book On the Infinite, the Universe and the Worlds with the works of Guillaume Lambert, a contemporary playwright. I will try to situate the discussion within the context of the ecological changes going on in today's world, using the concept of Anthropocene. What type of ecological way-of-beings are proposed in Giordano Bruno’s philosophy and Guillaume Lambert's artistic proposals put together?
Pinocchio e la creazione del vincolo
Authors: Cerenza Roberto
Published: January 2025

The main idea on which this essay reflects is that Pinocchio’s inorganic materiality constitutes the metaphysical foundation of language. In this perspective, Pinocchio’s passage from puppet to man is to be understood not as a mutation of that foundation, which remains immutable, but as a movement of appearance that detaches itself from the foundation to access the historical dimension of finiteness. The focal point of the reflection is the relationship between Pinocchio and Geppetto.
Esilio, rivoluzione, solitudine
Authors: Amato Pierandrea
Published: January 2025

The contribution presents Nietzsche’s critique of Euripides and considers whether it can also be applied to the case of Medea. In particular, it tests whether a possible, paradoxical political charge of the priestess of Colchis, linked to the theme of exile, is not able to carry Euripides’ tragedy beyond the boundaries of the polis.
Optimizing Administrative Operations: A Conceptual Framework for Strategic Resource Management in Corporate Settings
Authors: Basiru Joseph Ozigi , Ejiofor Chinelo Linda , Onukwulu Ekene Cynthia , Attah Rita Uchenna
Published: January 2025

In today’s fast-paced corporate environment, the optimization of administrative operations is pivotal for achieving organizational efficiency and competitiveness. This study proposes a conceptual framework for strategic resource management, emphasizing the integration of technology and data-driven methodologies to streamline administrative processes.

Authors: Валінкевич Н. В. , Коценко М. С.
Published: January 2025

Глобалізація економічних процесів та розвиток торгівлі зумовлює пошук нових методів забезпечення конкурентоспроможності торгівельних підприємств. Одним із основних методів є формування та збереження конкурентних переваг, що забезпечить підприємству стійкі конкурентні позиції, вихід на нові ринки, захоплення більшої долі ринку та прихильності споживачів. Метою дослідження є визначення сутності конкурентоспроможності торгівельного підприємства, конкурентних переваг торговельного підприємства та пошук основних шляхів їх формування. Гіпотезою дослідження є твердження про те, що формування конкурентних переваг торгівельного підприємства здатне забезпечити конкурентоспроможність підприємства на вітчизняному та світовому ринках. Під час дослідження було використано загальнонаукові та спеціальні методи, зокрема монографічний, метод систематизації, узагальнень та ін. Було проаналізовано та узагальнено визначення понять «конкурентоспроможність торгівельного підприємства» та «конкурентні переваги». У ході дослідження виокремлено основні ознаки за яким здійснюється визначення конкурентної переваги, це характеристика, показник, сукупність та результат. Охарактеризовано основні властивості поняття конкурентоспроможності торгівельного підприємства, зокрема предметність, динамічність, системність, просторовість та об’єктивність. Здійснено характеристику джерел конкурентних переваг, таких як зовнішні та внутрішні. Також, встановлено, що відповідно до ступеня відтворюваності виділяють конкурентні переваги низького, високого та найвищого порядку. Запропоновано рекомендації щодо формування конкурентних переваг торговельних підприємстві. Не зважаючи на велику кількість праць, які присвячені питанню конкуренції, конкурентоспроможності та конкурентних переваг, не в повній мірі розкрито суть саме конкурентних переваг торговельного підприємства. З розвитком торгівлі в Україні та виходу вітчизняних торговельних виробників на міжнародний ринок питання конкурентоспроможності та її розвитку є актуальним. Зокрема, постає питання щодо виокремлення конкурентних переваг, як основного чинника забезпечення конкурентного статусу підприємства. Тому, отримані результати можуть слугувати базою для подальших досліджень питань конкурентоспроможності та конкурентних переваг торгівельного підприємства. Стаття є теоретичною.
Novel VLSI Architecture for Discrete Wavelet Packet Transform Using Arbitrary Tree Structures
Authors:   Dept of Electronics and Communication Engineering Institute of Aeronautical Engineering  Hyderabad, India, Sreevani, . M
Published: January 2025

The paper presents a novel pipelined VLSI architec- ture based on an arbitrary wavelet tree for the calculation of the discrete wavelet packet transform (DWPT) of any signal. There are phases of calculating the coefficients for different levels. For each level, there is a bypassed wavelet filter and a circuit for rearranging intermediate coefficients. The recommended lifting- based wavelet filter computes the high and low pass coefficients in series. It either calculates the coefficients or passes the samples such that there is an allowance of the arbitrary tree topology. A subband necessary for the higher-level computation is generated by rearranging the intermediate coefficients. The coefficients are computed progressively, and the circuit complexity diminishes with the reduction of intermediate coefficients other than memory components. A 50 percent decrease in memory components is needed with the pipelined design presented above. Also, data from hardware implementation clearly suggest that the space and power needs have gone reduced by 20% and 33%, respectively.

Index Terms—Arbitrary tree structure, bitreordering, discrete wavelet packet transform (DWPT), signal flowgraph (SFG).

Stabilization of Soil Sub-grade Using GSB Material for Construction of Pavement
Authors:   Department of Civil Engineering, KNIT, Sultanpur, Uttar Pradesh, India, Pandey Vikram
Published: January 2025

The construction of roads often necessitates soil stabilization in the sub-base and sub-grade regions when the soil exhibits poor strength due to softness, swelling, or low shear strength. While compaction can enhance many soils, it may not be sufficient for expansive soils, which necessitate the use of stabilizing agents, especially when dealing with weak or expansive soils. A crucial parameter in pavement design is the California Bearing Ratio (CBR), which measures soil strength. This study aimed to enhance CBR values by incorporating granular Sub-Base (GSB) material. Laboratory tests were conducted on various soil samples to determine their geotechnical properties, including Atterberg's limits, compaction characteristics, and CBR. The results indicated that increasing the percentage of GSB led to an increase in plasticity index and maximum dry density while decreasing optimum moisture content. Notably, CBR values significantly improved with higher GSB percentages. To achieve a CBR value exceeding 5, CL soils required 12-16% GSB, while CI soils needed 8-12%. This research provides valuable insights for optimizing GSB usage in pavement design, considering soil characteristics and traffic demands. Future research could explore the use of crushed demolition aggregates and fine marble powder, as well as evaluate permeability and consolidation characteristics for long-term performance and durability.
