Mind the Gap! Gap junctions in the uterus and the mystery of contraction
Authors: Means Shawn , Garrett Amy
Published: August 2024

Critical to the propagation of the human race, proper function of the uterus hinges on coordinated and spatially organised contractions – particularly at term. Unlike in cardiac or gastro-intestinal systems. no pacemaking mechanism is known to exist in the uterus and the manner of generating and controlling electrical signals key to contraction is poorly understood. It is known, however, that intercellular coupling via gap junctions dramatically increases at term. We present our two-track effort at characterising this uterine puzzle with theoretical and experimental studies focused on the potential for gap junctions to both generate and organise spatially coordinated contractions.
Green Medicine: Exploring the Role of Herbal Treatments in Disease Therapy
Authors: Dean Muhajirin
Published: August 2024

This study aims to investigate the perceptions, utilization, and integration of herbal treatments within contemporary healthcare systems. By adopting a qualitative research approach, this study primarily relies on an extensive literature review to gather and analyze data. The research seeks to provide a comprehensive understanding of how herbal medicine is perceived by patients and healthcare providers, how it is utilized across different cultural contexts, and the challenges associated with integrating herbal treatments into mainstream healthcare. The findings reveal that while herbal medicine is widely perceived as a natural and safer alternative to conventional pharmaceuticals, significant concerns remain regarding the standardization, quality control, and potential herb-drug interactions. The study also highlights the variability in the utilization of herbal treatments, with some regions relying heavily on traditional practices, while others use them as complementary therapies. The integration of herbal treatments into healthcare systems presents both opportunities and challenges, with a need for more robust clinical evidence and standardized protocols. The study concludes by emphasizing the importance of sustainable research that addresses these challenges and proposes future research directions, including community-based studies and the exploration of the environmental impact of herbal medicine. These findings contribute to the ongoing discourse on the role of herbal treatments in disease therapy and underscore the need for a multidisciplinary approach to advance the field.
Power Failure: Appearance and Change in Badiou’s Logics of Worlds
Authors: Dawson Joshua Avery
Published: August 2024

Where Being and Event was a book of meta-ontology, demonstrating how things be, Alain Badiou tells us that Logics of Worlds is an objective phenomenology demonstrating how (and what) things do. As such, it should also be considered a book about power: how objects function in their worlds, how change is possible, and what the event does to worlds and the objects in them. Attending to this, this article shows two conflicting forms of power emerge in Logics of Worlds, the power of appearance and the power of change. In this article, the author argues their incommensurability suggests an overall failure of a consistent account of power from Badiou.
Prometheus Underground: Probing the Scientist in Depth as the Carnal First Act of French Phenomenology with Arnaud Dandieu and Claude Chevalley
Authors: Roy Christian
Published: August 2024

Arnaud Dandieu (1897–1933), a Personalist transdisciplinary thinker, joined up with Claude Chevalley (1909–84), cofounder of the Bourbaki group of mathematicians, to conduct a phenomenological study of the scientist’s activity over several articles. It shows the current development of “carnal hermeneutics” already present among the earliest manifestations of French phenomenology, in a tactile approach to the sense of depth as key to the search for knowledge, from the sorcerer to the scientist, building on the phenomenological psychology of Eugène Minkowski (1885–1972). Dandieu and Chevalley’s “rational act of exclusion” takes the irrational concrete as the fulcrum of a heroic psychological breakthrough to purely logical abstraction, inseparable from its existential ground in embodied personhood. The present article will use their little-known articles to document the conscious emergence of a distinctly French school of phenomenology, eschewing from the start, twenty years before Merleau-Ponty, the neglect of multisensory experience in the flesh decried by critics of its German tradition.
The Terror of the Foundation in Santiago Castro-Gómez’s Political Philosophy: A Critique of Political Ontology
Authors: Acuña Julian Rios
Published: August 2024

This article problematizes Santiago Castro-Gómez’s rupture with genealogy in favor of normative political philosophy. This rupture is characterized by a turn toward a political ontology that transforms political concepts into ontological categories that allow Castro-Gómez to posit a category of “the marginalized” as the ultimate foundation of political normativity. Through a dialogue with Frank Wilderson and Frantz Fanon, this article argues that such an ontologization of political categories, Castro-Gómez’s political ontology, leads to the reinscription of a colonial foundationalist logic of the terror of exclusion and leads Castro-Gómez to erase the specificity of incommensurable struggles and to constrain political imagination.
Unlearning Pauline Messianism: Prophetic Study and Historical Injustice in Walter Benjamin and Hermann Cohen
Authors: Hay Natasha
Published: August 2024

This article argues against Giorgio Agamben’s use of Paul’s Epistles to align Walter Benjamin’s critique of violence with antinomian theology and anarcholibertarian politics. It focuses specifically on Benjamin’s critical inheritance of Hermann Cohen’s concepts of unintentional sin and atonement to show that he reactivates a prophetic register of education in Jewish religious ethics. The article contends that these normative and narrative elements of Talmud Torah refute a reductive view of Jewish legalism in confronting the cultural afterlives of historical violence. This argument not only uncouples the reception of Benjamin’s theopolitics from contemporary continental philosophy’s revivals of Pauline messianism, but also contributes to a plural field of political theology emerging beyond the scope of secularized concepts of governance derived from a spurious universalism. This article proposes that the nonidentity between human law and divine justice can orient necessary resistance to justifications for and acts of state violence committed in a community’s name.
Primitive Speculation: Marx on Precapitalism, Social Relations to Land, and Indigenous Dispossession
Authors: Wapeemukwa Wayne
Published: August 2024

Marx studied how capitalism changes relations to land before and after Capital—but wielded different methodologies and reached different conclusions. In Grundrisse, Marx investigates precapitalism from a speculative standpoint. In Capital, Marx provides a selective and historical description of dispossession but delimits his analysis to Western Europe. Post-Capital, Marx wields Henry Lewis Morgan’s anthropology and Justus von Liebig’s ecology as scientific bases upon which to critique capitalist property relations. Specifically, Marx believed that the capitalist mode of production installed a historically specific relation to land; and that this relation was abstract, accumulative, and proprietorial. This article shows that Marx began to develop a critical theory of dispossession that overspills the historical, metaphysical, and developmental sequencing usually attributed to him. This late Marx believes that Indigenous peoples have a concrete, metabolic, and communal relationship to the land that communism must recapitulate and rehabilitate; this thesis has been misunderstood by readers of Marx, who impose an overly historicized interpretation upon his work.
An approach to the porcine health and production research structure in Brazil, 2010–2018
Authors: NÚÑEZ-ESPINOZA Juan Felipe , MARTÍNEZ-CASTAÑEDA Francisco Ernesto , MONTOYA Nathaniel Alec Rogers
Published: August 2024

The research project described here sets out to identify and evaluate the topological features of the social structure underlying the porcine health and production system in Brazil between 2010 and 2018. To do this, a sample of the research carried out in the said system was delimited through a set of scientific documents written by several authors from different public and/or private Brazilian institutions. The unit examined was the co-authorship established in the said publications by the authors themselves. It used social network analysis to discover the dynamics that existed based on the cooperation occurring among the protagonists and the collaborative work done by the different research groups. It was observed that the main subjects of joint research were circovirus, porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome, bacterial infections, innocuousness, animal welfare, sanitary management, reproduction, and genetics. An analysis of the network research structure revealed respective decreases of 5.8% and 52.3% in the communicative and connective capacity of the research network. This could suggest diminished research capacities that are limited to particular technological narratives, which might be linked to some of the animal health contradictions identified in the aforementioned system.
New insights into thermal comfort sufficiency in dwellings
Authors: Van Moeseke Geoffrey , De Grave Denis , Anciaux Amélie , Sobczak Jean , Wallenborn Grégoire
Published: August 2024

Domestic heating is a major contributor to energy consumption and must be minimised to achieve climate targets. Building on the concept of addressing the distinct heating needs of individuals and buildings separately, the Slowheat project implemented a three-year transdisciplinary real-world laboratory focusing on adaptive heating practices. This initiative involved 23 households in Brussels, Belgium, in a collaborative exploration of the sufficiency of heating: minimising heating while meeting needs for comfort. Starting with a mean thermostat setting of 19°C, participants reduced their indoor temperature to a long-term mean close to 15°C thanks to adequate warming of individuals through personal comfort systems, clothing and physiological adaptation. It resulted in a 50% reduction in heat consumption, without an increase in electricity consumption. These results exceed those of similar published experiments. The qualitative analysis highlights the multiple dimensions of social practices related to heating and underscores the key influence of control and comfort in sustaining significant temperature reduction.
Policy relevance
This paper presents the findings of the Slowheat project, which engaged 23 households in the Brussels-Capital Region over three years around the idea of ‘heating people, not buildings’. The subgroup involved in the quantitative analysis achieved a reduction in heating consumption close to 50%, without an increase in electricity consumption and with normalised indoor temperatures around 15°C. The results indicate that the potential for reducing energy consumption through changes in domestic heating practices is greater than previously documented in the literature, at least among climate-conscious and educated individuals. A co-creation approach was used. Key factors are highlighted that facilitated or inhibited the adoption of a sufficient heating practice. In doing so, it provides a framework for scaling up the Slowheat project. Furthermore, this shows the need for individuals to gain greater control over their indoor environments. Four dimensions of control are emphasised, including the crucial aspect of social norms, for which policy instruments may play a role.

Published: August 2024

Role of Police Supporting Institutions in an Emergency in Indonesia. Regulations related to police duties and the condition of medical personnel are actually at the forefront of emergencies and pandemic disasters, but in Indonesia the police also called the front guard in efforts to prevent the emergency spread of Covid-19. It can be seen if there is gaps in the implementation of police duties during an emergency. This study aims to find out the existence of police as the institution that having mandate to manage and handle emergencies situation such as pandemic of COVID-19. This study used doctrinal legal research as one of the legal research methods. The findings show that management of health protection in Indonesia particularly in pandemic situation had not maximal. As can be seen there are several barriers to Indonesian Police in handling the emergency situations. Firstly, the internal problem in the institution, then it needs a revitalization. Secondly, the lack of adequate funding for the policeâ€™s performance. Thirdly, as well as the external cause is the lack of publick awareness or the culture of society to be able to cooperate with the police in preventing the spread of COVID-19 in Indonesia

Uniqueness, regularity, continuity, and stability of solutions of integral equations in irregular domains
Authors: Santos Rômulo Damasclin Chaves dos , Sales Jorge Henrique
Published: August 2024

This study explores the uniqueness, regularity, continuity, and stability of solutions to integral equations related to elliptical boundary value problems in irregular domains. Traditional methods usually consider soft boundaries, but this work extends these results to include domains with rough boundaries. By employing Sobolev spaces, especially fractional Sobolev spaces, we develop a comprehensive theoretical framework. Under appropriate conditions, the studied integral equation has a unique solution in fractional Sobolev spaces, maintaining the regularity properties of the input function. Two new theorems are introduced to strengthen the findings. The first theorem establishes that solutions are continuous with respect to perturbations in the input data. This means small changes in the input do not cause significant deviations in the solution, ensuring robustness in practical applications. The second theorem demonstrates the stability of the solutions when the domain geometry undergoes small changes. This stability is crucial for real-world scenarios where the exact shapes of domains may not be perfectly known or may vary slightly. These results significantly improve the mathematical understanding of boundary value problems in non-smooth domains. The proposed extended framework allows for more generalized applications, addressing challenges in various fields of physics and engineering. The ability to handle irregular domains with rough boundaries opens up new possibilities for modeling and solving complex problems where traditional soft boundary assumptions are not valid. This research provides a robust basis for future studies and applications, highlighting the importance of considering fractional Sobolev spaces in the analysis of integral equations.

Un’anima symphonialis per comprendere se stessi e il mondo. Ildegarda di Bingen tra suono e parola
Authors: Muller Paola
Published: August 2024

L’intera vita umana può essere interpretata in termini di armonia e sinfonia per Ildegarda di Bingen: mentre l’armonia significa la restaurazione della relazione tra uomo e Dio e la piena esperienza della redenzione, l’attuale esistenza umana con i suoi pericoli, contraddizioni e peccati, corrisponde a una sinfonia, all’interno della quale Dio fa ascoltare soprattutto la sua misericordia. Ildegarda offre una visione unitaria dell’uomo, divino per l’anima e terreno per il corpo, egli è un microcosmo, una molteplicità ricondotta all’unità. L'anima umana è symphonialis, caratteristica che esprime sia l'accordo fra anima e corpo, sia la partecipazione a ogni sinfonia del creato in virtù della relazione che l’uomo ha con ciò che lo circonda, sia il far musica.
Hildegard of Bingen interprets the whole of human life in terms of harmony and symphony: while harmony means the restoration of the relationship between humans and God and the entire redemption’s experience, the present human existence with its dangers, contradictions, and sins, corresponds to a symphony. Hildegard offers a unified vision of human beings, divine for the soul and earthly for the body. Every person is a microcosm, a multiplicity brought back to unity. The human soul is symphonialis, a characteristic expressing both the agreement between soul and body and the participation in every symphony of creation under the relationship that a person has with his or her surroundings, as well as making music.
La presunta controversia tra Pascasio e Ratramno in epoca carolingia: alle origini della razionalizzazione della dottrina eucaristica
Authors: Ventura Raffaele Alberto
Published: August 2024

L’articolo si concentra su uno snodo centrale nella lunga crisi che tocca la dottrina eucaristica nel Medioevo, ovvero sulla presunta controversia tra Pascasio Radberto e Ratramno di Corbie nel IX secolo a proposito della presenza di Cristo nel sacramento, in figura oppure in verità. Partendo dalla constatazione che le visioni dei due monaci non sono contrapposte, come si è creduto a partire dal X-XI secolo, intendiamo innanzitutto mostrare che i loro sono tentativi complementari di ritradurre entro categorie chiare e univoche una dottrina patristica caratterizzata dalla sua indeterminatezza. Per spiegare l’origine di questa esigenza di chiarificazione, mostreremo come il contesto corbiense sia stato permeato dall’influenza del primo rientro dell’aristotelismo (la logica vetus) sulla base di un più ampio programma carolingio di modernizzazione della società e di razionalizzazione della dottrina. La crisi eucaristica, di cui a Corbie si vedono le prime avvisaglie, appare quindi come una faticosa contrattazione sul significato della dottrina patristica al fine di conservare un equilibrio tra simbolismo e realismo, resasi necessaria come effetto di un cambio di paradigma logico-ontologico pur di preservare l’unità della fede e quindi della comunità cristiana. Questa crisi si chiuderà solo con la dottrina della transustanziazione, al termine di un lungo processo di razionalizzazione preso in carico da una classe di tecnici della teologia.
 
The paper focuses on a central juncture in the long crisis that touches Eucharistic doctrine in the Middle Ages, namely the alleged dispute between Paschasius Radbertus and Ratramnus of Corbie in the ninth century regarding the presence of Christ in the sacrament: in figure or in truth? Starting from the observation that the visions of the two monks are not opposed, as was believed from the 10th-11th centuries onward, we intend first to show that theirs are complementary attempts to translate within clear and unambiguous categories the vagueness of patristic doctrine. In order to explain the origin of this need for clarification, we show how the Corbian context was permeated by the influence of the first return of Aristotelianism (the logica vetus) on the basis of a broader Carolingian program of modernization of society and rationalization of doctrine. The Eucharistic crisis, the first signs of which can be seen in Corbie, thus appears as a bargaining over the meaning of patristic doctrine in order to preserve a balance between symbolism and realism, made necessary as the effect of a logical-ontological paradigm shift in order to preserve the unity of the faith and thus of the Christian community. This crisis will close only with the doctrine of transubstantiation, at the end of a long process of rationalization taken over by a class of experts of theology.
La testimonianza per sentito dire: percorso di una prova anomala fra credulitas, veritas e necessitas
Authors: Bassani Alessandra
Published: August 2024

La testimonianza per sentito dire, nonostante la sua evidente inadeguatezza a fornire conoscenze certe sui fatti avvenuti, viene utilizzata nei processi penali fin dall’Alto Medioevo. Il saggio ripercorre la riflessione della scienza giuridica medievale, in particolare di Bartolo da Sassoferrato, sulla formazione del convincimento del Giudice, per offrire un contributo alla comprensione dei motivi dell’utilizzo di questo anomalo strumento di prova anche nel processo penale contemporaneo.
 
Hearsay evidence, despite its evident inadequacy to provide certain knowledge about the events that occurred, has been used in criminal trials since the Early Middle Ages. The essay traces the reflection of medieval legal science, in particular by Bartolo da Sassoferrato, on the formation of the Judge's conviction, to offer a contribution to understanding the reasons for the use of this anomalous evidence also in contemporary criminal trials.
Senso mistico e senso letterale nel Commento a Giobbe di Nachmanide
Authors: Savino Daniele
Published: August 2024

Il Commento al Libro di Giobbe di Mosè Nachmanide rappresenta un ideale corollario antropologico ed escatologico al suo imponente Commento alla Torah. Esponente di spicco della comunità ebraica di Gerona e della locale scuola cabalistica, dove agli insegnamenti del provenzale Isacco il Cieco si associano elementi provenienti dalla tradizione talmudica, ellenistica e araba, Nachmanide propone una lettura esoterico-cabalistica di Giobbe volta a confutare l’apparente inconciliabilità ontologica tra l’esperienza del dolore individuale e l’ordine di un cosmo plasmato nella caligine demiurgica delle origini. Dopo aver spiegato, con linguaggio allusivo e in stile midrashico, la natura dell’anima e l’origine del male, Nachmanide mostra come la protesta di Giobbe, il giusto che apparentemente soffre ingiustamente, rappresenti una dissonanza destinata a risolversi nella superiore armonia del tutto: è questo il grande mistero dell’esistenza individuale, un mistero che riecheggia nel silenzio di Giobbe ammonito da Dio e che si svela unicamente a quegli iniziati che, come Elihu, critico di Giobbe e dei suoi tre amici, miopi consolatori, sono stati scelti quali depositari della più antica saggezza. 
Nahmanides’ Commentary on the Book of Job constitutes an ideal anthropological and eschatological corollary of his monumental Commentary on the Torah. A leading figure of the Girona’s Jewish community and of its kabbalistic school, where the teachings of the Provençal master Isaac the Blind were enriched with elements of the Talmudic, Hellenistic and Arabic traditions, Nahmanides outlines a kabbalistic esoteric interpretation of Job designed to reject the seeming ontological irreconcilability between the individual experience of suffering and the ordered system of a universe forged in the demiurgic night of the origins. After explaining, in allusive language and midrashic style, the nature of human soul and the origin of evil, Nahmanides proves that Job’s protest, the protest of a just man suffering unjustly, is nothing but a dissonance destined to resolve itself into the superior harmony of the creation. This is the great mystery of individual existence, a mystery that echoes in the silence of Job, warned by God, and that unveils itself only to those initiates who, like Elihu critic of Job and of his three friends, who are merely short-sighted consolers, have been chosen as depositaries of the most ancient wisdom.
L’ordine alchemico del mondo. Cause naturali e intervento divino nella Pretiosa Margarita Novella di Pietro Bono da Ferrara
Authors: Tomatis Jacopo
Published: August 2024

Fin dalle sue origini l’alchimia ha dovuto confrontarsi con il problema dell’ordine. La sua eccentricità rispetto agli altri saperi medievali poneva questioni sulla sua collocazione e sulla natura dell’oggetto che cercava, la pietra filosofale. L’articolo presenta il tentativo fatto dal medico Pietro Bono da Ferrara di riordinare la materia alchemica e di incasellarla nel sistema scientifico scolastico. Nella sua opera, la Pretiosa Margarita Novella, egli utilizza il sillogismo per ordinare la trattazione dell’alchimia, la subalternatio per definirla come una tra le scienze naturali e collocarla all’interno del sistema dei saperi e il concetto di forma specifica per descrivere la pietra filosofale e inserirla nel processo di generazione dei metalli. In questo modo Bono concepisce l’alchimia come una scienza che risponde a due ordini, quello naturale di generazione dei metalli, nel quale opera, e quello divino, al quale deve fare appello per trovare la pietra, che sono complementari tra loro, poiché hanno la loro origine in Dio.
 
Since its origins, alchemy has had to deal with the problem of order. His eccentricity compared to other medieval knowledge posed questions about his collocation and the nature of the object he was looking for, the philosopher’s stone. This article presents the attempt, made by the doctor Pietro Bono da Ferrara, to embed alchemy in the school scientific system. In his work, the Pretiosa Margarita Novella, he uses syllogism to order the treatment of alchemy, the subalternatio to place it within the system of sciences and the concept of forma specifica to describe the philosopher’s stone and insert it in metals’ generation process. In this way, Bono conceives alchemy as a science referring to two orders, the natural one of metal generation, in which it operates, and the divine one, to which he must appeal to find the philosopher’s stone, which are complementary to each other since they both have their origin in God.
La virtù della scelta ordinata in Agostino d’Ippona
Authors: Oddi Luigi
Published: August 2024

L’ordinamento cosmico rappresenta il punto di riferimento costante dell’agire morale della creatura, che deve misurare le sue scelte preferendo sempre gli esseri-beni oggettivamente superiori a quelli inferiori. La virtù della scelta ordinata non è altro che la giustizia, come trasversalmente affermato nelle opere di Agostino d’Ippona. Il presente contributo intende mostrare come, sul piano creaturale, la dinamica della scelta ordinata rimane invariata con la teologia della grazia indebita sviluppata a partire dall’Ad Simplicianum. In particolare, si intende evidenziare il passaggio da una visione che individua nella creatura stessa, aiutata da Dio, la causa prima della sua volontà morale, presente nelle opere precedenti il 397, a una decisamente più radicale, successiva a questa data, che invece individua tale causa nell’operare efficiente e predestinato di Dio. Quest’ultima posizione mostra il duplice vantaggio di risolvere alcuni paradossi impliciti nella riflessione precedente, senza smentire la forma (ordinata) della giustizia, sebbene non possa evitare di ridimensionare il ruolo della creatura in relazione ai suoi meriti. 
 
The cosmic order represents the focal point of reference for moral agents, who must evaluate their choices based on the degree of perfection rather than settling for inferiour objects or beings. According to Augustine of Hippo, justice is the virtue of ordered choice. The present contribution aims to show how, from the viewpoint of the creature, the structure of ordered choice does not change even when the theology of grace is developed in Ad Simplicianum. In particular, the essay focuses on the shift from an earlier view, developed before 397, that places the original cause of good will in the creature itself, along with God’s assistance, to a later and more radical perspective that sees God’s role as the exclusive source of good will through efficient and predestined intervention. The latter viewpoint has the dual advantage of unfolding some paradoxes of the previous perspective, while still maintaining the (ordered) form of justice, although it inevitably limits the role of creatures in relation to their merits.
La ΔΙΑΚΟΣΜΗΣΙΣ della città ideale nel Timeo di Platone: appunti sulla traduzione di Calcidio
Authors: Nardi Marianna
Published: August 2024

Nel Timeo, Platone sviluppa il racconto di Atlantide a partire dalla riflessione sulla città ideale che Socrate fornisce nella Repubblica. Il racconto di Atlantide è un discorso sul passato remoto dell’Atene eccellente, ambientato all’epoca della guerra contro l’isola di Atlantide. La dea Atena ha stabilito una διακόσμησις per l’ordinamento dell’antica Atene. Con la διακόσμησις emerge il contatto con la città ideale, perché l’ordine è basato sul discorso che Socrate produce nella Repubblica. Conferma del contatto giunge dalla traduzione latina del Timeo ad opera di Calcidio, che distingue sul piano della substantia il racconto di Atlantide e poi il discorso di Timeo sull’origine del mondo; la traduzione di Calcidio arriva alla Scuola di Chartres, dove Guglielmo di Conches definirà il racconto di Atlantide come un exemplum della città ideale. 
 
In the Timaeus, Plato develops the story of Atlantis relying on the ideal State that Socrates creates in the Republic. The Atlantis’ myth is a discourse about the remote past of the excellent Athens, set at the time of the war against the island of Atlantis. The goddess Athena established a διακόσμησις for the political ordering of ancient Athens. With the διακόσμησις emerges the contact with the ideal state, because the order is based on the discourse Socrates produces in the Republic. Confirmation of this link comes from the Latin translation of the Timaeus by Calcidius, who distinguishes on the level of the substantia the story of Atlantis and then Timaeus’ discourse on the origin of the world; Calcidius’ translation reaches the School of Chartres, where William of Conches will define the story of Atlantis as an exemplum of the ideal State.
La pace desiderabile, il fine naturale e l'impero: una nuova ipotesi sul viaggio di Dante a Parigi
Authors: Salanitri Cristina
Published: August 2024

Molti, tra i biografi di Dante, hanno considerato veritiero il racconto del viaggio a Parigi, riferito – tra gli altri – da Boccaccio. La questione assume rilevanza se si considerano le circostanze che potrebbero aver spinto il Poeta a partire per la Francia. Potrebbe essere stato indotto a partire da notizie avute in merito all’emergere di nuove idee politiche tra alcuni maestri parigini? Chi potrebbe aver sollecitato la curiosità di Dante e come, più tardi, il Poeta avrebbe provato a rivelare ai suoi lettori ciò di cui era venuto a conoscenza? Questo articolo proverà a fornire un’interpretazione del canto XVIII del ‘Paradiso’, concentrandosi su alcuni oscuri versi legati alla bella image dell’aquila che, nei successivi canti, pronuncerà due diversi discorsi, dicendo ‘io e mio’,/quand’era nel concetto e ‘noi e nostro’. 
Most of Dante’s biographers accepted as possible the account of the journey to Paris, as narrated – among others – by Boccaccio. The issue seems relevant considering the circumstances that may have prompted the Poet to travel to France. Could he have been determined by stories heard about the emergence of new political ideas among some of the Parisian masters? Who could have aroused Dante’s curiosity and how would the Poet then attempt to reveal to his readers what he had learned?  This article intends to provide an interpretation of ‘Paradiso’ XVIII, focusing on a few obscure verses related to the bella image of the Eagle that, in the following cantos, will pronounce two speeches, saying ‘io e mio’,/ quand’era nel concetto e ‘noi e nostro’.
Preludio. Elogio del disordine: Robin Hood
Authors: Parodi Massimo
Published: August 2024

La letteratura cerca di dare un ordine al disordine della vita e della storia. Per questo succede che un personaggio immaginario come Robin Hood risulti troppo amante della libertà e del disordine per essere solamente letterario, e così generazioni di studiosi ne hanno cercato tracce nelle vicende reali della storia inglese. La tradizione delle ballate popolari ha invaso il teatro e la letteratura donando all'immaginario collettivo di tutta Europa l'illusione di poter progettare il disordine.
 
Literature tries to give order to the disorder of life and history. This is why it happens that a fictional character like Robin Hood is too lover of freedom and disorder to be merely literary, and so generations of scholars have sought traces of him in the real events of English history. The tradition of folk ballads has invaded theatre and literature, giving the collective imagination throughout Europe the illusion that disorder can be planned.
Introduzione. Frammenti di ordine e disordine nel Medioevo
Authors: Rossini Marco , Salvestrini Amalia
Published: August 2024

Questo numero di “Doctor Virtualis” si interroga sul concetto di ordine e sulla sua valenza all’interno della riflessione medievale: siamo di fronte a uno strumento conoscitivo con cui intellettuali di varia formazione e operanti in ambiti diversi cercano di affrontare la complessità del proprio mondo, oppure, come forse è lecito a prima vista attendersi da un’epoca come quella medievale, a una struttura metafisica già data, di tipo oggettivo, che rappresenta una garanzia rispetto alla disarmonia del mondo e delle relazioni fra gli uomini? L’ipotesi di ricerca da cui trae origine questo numero è che an­che in epoca medievale l’ordine si presenti come esigenza e dunque come risultato di una costruzione che, attraverso i più svariati stru­menti conoscitivi, punti a rendere conto del disordine, cercando di sciogliere e dipanare l’intreccio di cause ed effetti che caratterizza i vari spazi del mondo abitati dagli uomini. Per questa ragione abbiamo deciso di intitolare il fascicolo Frammenti di ordine e disordine nel Medioevo.
 
This issue of "Doctor Virtualis" questions the concept of order and its value within medieval reflection: are we dealing with a cognitive instrument with which intellectuals of various training and operating in different fields try to deal with the complexity of their world, or, as one might at first sight expect from an era such as the Middle Ages, with a metaphysical structure already given, of an objective type, which represents a guarantee against the disharmony of the world and relations between men? The research hypothesis from which this issue originates is that even in the Middle Ages order presents itself as a need and therefore as the result of a construction that, through the most varied cognitive instruments, aims to account for disorder, attempting to unravel and disentangle the interweaving of causes and effects that characterises the various spaces of the world inhabited by men. For this reason, we have decided to title the issue  Fragments of Order and Disorder in the Middle Ages.
Lasciar spazio ai margini dell’abitare: friche, progettualità ed enjambement
Authors: Trimarchi Rosario
Published: August 2024

This article discusses the concept of the “Third Landscape” proposed by Gilles Clément, examining its relationship to architectural design and the conception of time and the subject. By analyzing the philosophical implications of the notion of friche, it aims to reconsider our anthropocentric worldview in order to embrace an approach that recognizes and values the richness of life in the residual. The text explores the complexity of relationships between humans, nature and architectural space, questioning traditional concepts such as the Promethean idea of the subject and time as a linear progression. Thus, a new model of designing subjectivity based on the Merleaupontyan institution is suggested, one that recognizes contingency and anonymity as essential elements of creation, thus emphasizing the need to reconsider as an authentic ethical and political value the letting-space.
Tecnogenesi della Terra. Simondon e il neo-magico
Authors: Tenti Gregorio
Published: August 2024

Gilbert Simondon was among the first to observe the rise of planetary technologies and to integrate this phenomenon into his philosophy. Already since On the Mode of Existence of Technical Objects, Simondon claimed that technology is endowed with an intrinsic ecumenic tendency and that this tendency is manifesting through the technical ensembles of the informational era: technics is constructing the Earth as a new «techno-geographic environment». This paper aims at analyzing Simondon’s view on planetary technology and infrastructural networks, also in the light of the structural instability characterizing today’s social and natural systems. In the conclusions, an alternative way towards cultural progress is suggested, the one that Simondon discarded: the way of “aesthetics after aesthetics”. Aesthetics might in fact offer a different model to situate the human groups in the techno-planetary environment and overcome extractivist authoritarianism, as long as it finds effective realization into a neo-magic paradigm.
Un’urbanistica relazionale
Authors: Cerruti But Michele
Published: August 2024

The failure of contemporary Urbanism to cope with Climate Collapse has to do with its own approach to reality, which moves between imagination and the materialisation of human landscapes. As an answer to this weakness, two major Urbanism trends are, on the one hand, the exasperation of a hyper-technological and geo-engineering attitude and, on the other, the reframing of the nature and city relation. A paradigm shift that confronts climate emergency on a both planetary and territorial level.
The traces of nature-city paradigm shift are at least three, recounted in the essay through some cases and research: the end of production and the emergence of a pluriversal “industrial nature”; the ecological turn and the urgency of “greening” strategies for cities; the failure of the traditional idea of “nature” and the need to reformulate the territorial project.
What emerges is the possibility of a Relational Urbanism, in which the focus is mainly on the ways in which human and non-human actors interact, and not only on the ancestral debate on human rights and social control. Far from being a green utopia, the relational dimension of the project imposes itself as a collective intellectual risk and a necessary ethical commitment.
Inter fragmenta nare: Leon Battista Alberti and the Wreck of Memory
Authors: Bacchi Elisa
Published: August 2024

As it is well known, rhetoric serves as a theoretical framework for the foundation of artistic practices in the works of Leon Battista Alberti. The structural significance of rhetoric also concerns the conceptualization of the relationship between time, space, and memory. In Alberti's perspective, ruins and fragments from the past are material incarnations of rhetorical-mnemonic imagines agentes: their power to affect the mind depends on the ability of the observer to put them in the right places (loci).
Against this background, Alberti partially overturns the classical model of the ars memoriae: the a priori architectural order of loci becomes the result of an activity of composition and combination, in which the imagines/ruins disrupt the flow of time and the continuum of space by displaying their specific nature as memory traces.
Metafora e memoria in Proust
Authors: Contini Annamaria
Published: August 2024

Proust gave metaphor both stylistic and theoretical centrality. In his view, metaphor is not a mere substitute for literal expression but performs a cognitive function, bringing to light relations and aspects of reality that would otherwise remain unexplored. The article intends to show that the reminiscences of involuntary memory also possess a metaphorical structure.
Just as a pars destruens and a pars construens coexist in metaphor, in authentic reminiscence the deconstruction of a linear and abstract temporality is the indispensable premise of reconfiguring the past that makes its meaning flash forth in unprecedented possibilities.Like metaphor, involuntary memory must enact categorical transgression. It must suspend previous categories and classifications to bring out the rich web of relationships that permeates every fragment of our existence.
Finally, just as metaphor redescribes reality under the banner of metamorphosis, so involuntary memory transforms the usual relationships between past and present. The artwork born from the epiphanies of involuntary memory will adopt an expressive practice capable of interweaving reality and imagination, perception and memory, objectivity, and subjectivity.
«Le Matériel verbal comme mémoire seconde» Memory in Paul Valéry’s Cours de Poétique
Authors: Cinerari Rachele
Published: August 2024

The aim of this article is to show the interrelationship between, memory, language and artistic production in the reflections of Paul Valéry. If some of Valéry’s essays in this sense were already accessible to readers, the recent publication of the almost entirely unpublished materials of the Cours de Poétique – held at the College de France from 1937 to 1941 – reveals a fruitful theoretical laboratory that can provide numerous insights into Valéry’s reflections on poetic production and the aesthetic importance of observing memory and its role in the creation of artistic forms.
Giudizio estetico, morale e cancel culture a partire dall'opera di Alessandro Ferrara
Authors: Di Prospero Alfonso
Published: August 2024

Alessandro Ferrara's moral philosophy is centered on the concept of “exemplarity”, that is conceived of as an aesthetic notion. I aim to use this kind of approach, that I interpret relying on the reference to the inductive inference, in order to deal with the issues of the “cancel culture”.
