description: We present two case studies of FAST electrostatic analyzer measurements of both highly nonthermal ($κ\lesssim$~2.5) and weakly nonthermal/thermal monoenergetic electron precipitation at $\sim$4000~km, from which we infer the properties of the magnetospheric source distributions via comparison of experimentally determined number density--, current density--, and energy flux--voltage relationships with corresponding theoretical relationships. We also discuss the properties of the two new theoretical number density--voltage relationships that we employ. Moment uncertainties, which are calculated analytically via application of the \citet{Gershman2015} moment uncertainty framework, are used in Monte Carlo simulations to infer ranges of magnetospheric source population densities, temperatures, $κ$ values, and altitudes. We identify the most likely ranges of source parameters by requiring that the range of $κ$ values inferred from fitting experimental moment-voltage relationships correspond to the range of $κ$ values inferred from directly fitting observed electron distributions with two-dimensional kappa distribution functions. Observations in the first case study, which are made over $\sim$78--79$^\circ$ invariant latitude (ILAT) in the Northern Hemisphere and 4.5--5.5 magnetic local time (MLT), are consistent with a magnetospheric source population density $n_m =$~0.7--0.8~cm$^{-3}$, source temperature $T_m \approx$~70~eV, source altitude $h =$~6.4--7.7~$R_E$, and $κ=$~2.2--2.8. Observations in the second case study, which are made over 76--79$^\circ$~ILAT in the Southern Hemisphere and $\sim$21~MLT, are consistent with a magnetospheric source population density $n_m =$~0.07--0.09~cm$^{-3}$, source temperature $T_m \approx$~95~eV, source altitude $h \gtrsim$~6~$R_E$, and $κ=$~2--6.

description: New photometric and spectroscopic observations of galaxies in the directions of three distant clusters are presented as part of our on-going high-redshift cluster survey. The clusters are CL1324+3011 at z = 0.76, CL1604+4304 at z = 0.90, and CL1604+4321 at z = 0.92. The observed x-ray luminosities in these clusters are at least a factor of 3 smaller than those observed in clusters with similar velocity dispersions at z <= 0.4. These clusters contain a significant population of elliptical-like galaxies, although these galaxies are not nearly as dominant as in massive clusters at z <= 0.5. We also find a large population of blue cluster members. Defining an active galaxy as one in which the rest equivalent width of [OII] is greater than 15 Angstroms, the fraction of active cluster galaxies, within the central 1.0 Mpc, is 45%. In the field population, we find that 65% of the galaxies with redshifts between z = 0.40 and z = 0.85 are active, while the fraction is 79% for field galaxies at z > 0.85. The star formation rate normalized by the rest AB B-band magnitude, SFRN, increases as the redshift increases at a given evolving luminosity. At a given redshift, however, SFRN decreases linearly with increasing luminosity indicating a remarkable insensitivity of the star formation rate to the intrinsic luminosity of the galaxy over the range -18 >= ABB >= -22. Cluster galaxies in the central 1 Mpc regions exhibit depressed star formation rates. We are able to measure significant evolution in the B-band luminosity function over the range 0.1 <= z <= 1. The characteristic luminosity increases by a factor of 3 with increasing redshift over this range.

description: Family farms are faced with an ever-rising competitiveness on the market. In order to meet the requirements on the market family farms are obliged to use current resources, raise labor productivity and adapt the production program to the needs of the consumers. Small farms are unlikely to succeed on the market considering the lack of both human and material resources. Their only chance is production intensification, competitive crop production and establishment of associations. The aim of the study was to develop models for different family farm types taking into account the constraints in order to enable an income which would meet the needs of household members. A comparison of the models would enable the determination of competitiveness of some production lines and of the farms involved. This is of principal interest to regions where there are numerous producers disposing of small agricultural land areas and focused on the production of one or two products (raspberry or any other berry fruit, plums and tobacco).

description: Super-massive black holes (SMBHs) observed to have masses of $M_\bullet \sim 10^9 \, \mathrm{M_\odot}$ at $z\gtrsim6$, $<1$ Gyr after the Big Bang, are thought to have been seeded by massive black holes which formed before growing concurrently with the formation of their host galaxies. We model analytically the idealised growth of seed black holes, fed through gas inflow from growing proto-galaxy discs. The inflow depends on the disc gravitational stability and thus varies with black hole and disc mass. We find that for a typical host halo, the efficiency of angular momentum transport, as parametrised by the disc viscosity, is the limiting factor in determining the inflow rate and the black hole accretion rate. For our fiducial case we find an upper black hole mass estimate of $M_\bullet \sim 1.8 \times 10^7 \, \mathrm{M_{\odot}}$ at $z=6$. Only in the extreme case of $\sim 10^{16}$ M$_{\odot}$ haloes at $z=6$ produces SMBH masses of $\sim 10^9$ M$_{\odot}$. However, the number density of such haloes is many orders of magnitude below the estimated 1 Gpc$^{-3}$ of SMBHs at $z=6$, indicating that viscosity driven accretion is too inefficient to feed the growth of seeds into $M_\bullet \sim 10^9 \, \mathrm{M_\odot}$ SMBHs by $z \sim 6$. We demonstrate that major mergers are capable of resolving the apparent discrepancy in black hole mass at $z=6$, with some dependence on the exact choice of orbital parameters of the merger.

Dynamics and Structure of Three-Dimensional Trans-Alfvenic Jets. II. The Effect of Density and Winds

Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: Two three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamical simulations of strongly magnetized conical jets, one with a poloidal and one with a helical magnetic field, have been performed. In the poloidal simulation a significant sheath (wind) of magnetized moving material developed and partially stabilized the jet to helical twisting. The fundamental pinch mode was not similarly affected and emission knots developed in the poloidal simulation. Thus, astrophysical jets surrounded by outflowing winds could develop knotty structures along a straight jet triggered by pinching. Where helical twisting dominated the dynamics, magnetic field orientation along the line-of-sight could be organized by the toroidal flow field accompanying helical twisting. On astrophysical jets such structure could lead to a reversal of the direction of Faraday rotation in adjacent zones along a jet. Theoretical analysis showed that the different dynamical behavior of the two simulations could be entirely understood as a result of dependence on the velocity shear between jet and wind which must exceed a surface Alfven speed before the jet becomes unstable to helical and higher order modes of jet distortion.

description: The concept of eco-tourism had its peak towards the end of the twentieth century. General tendency is to search for new directions of tourism development in tourism that meets special needs. Problems of polluted environment, ever growing alienation from nature, standardization and uniformity of the modern living, are all the reasons why recently more and more people are interested in return to nature and healthy way of life. Great diversity in rural areas that Serbia has is the foundation upon which its future tourist development can be based. Vast number of various natural and geographical areas and the preserved eco-system in them, along with multiethnic communities, old trades, etc. can be offered as extra services in these areas. Tourism itself and its multiplied effect will have positive influence on the economy in these areas. The concept of sustainable development must play an important role in that process, and it should also be the pre-condition for all future plans and activities. The aim of this paper is to show the directions and possibilities for future sustainable tourist development in rural areas in Serbia based on eco-tourism, keeping in mind, above all, its highly preserved and respectable resources.

description: A new integral with respect to an integer-valued random measure is introduced. In contrast to the finite variation integral ubiquitous in semimartingale theory (Jacod and Shiryaev, 2003, II.1.5), the new integral is closed under stochastic integration, composition, and smooth transformations. The new integral gives rise to a previously unstudied class of pure-jump processes: the sigma-locally finite variation pure-jump processes. As an application, it is shown that every semimartingale $X$ has a unique decomposition $$X = X_0 + X^{\mathrm{qc}}+X^{\mathrm{dp}},$$ where $X^{\mathrm{qc}}$ is quasi-left-continuous and $X^{\mathrm{dp}}$ is a sigma-locally finite variation pure-jump process that jumps only at predictable times, both starting at zero. The decomposition mirrors the classical result for local martingales (Yoeurp, 1976, Theoreme~1.4) and gives a rigorous meaning to the notions of continuous-time and discrete-time components of a semimartingale. Against this backdrop, the paper investigates a wider class of processes that are equal to the sum of their jumps in the semimartingale topology and constructs a taxonomic hierarchy of pure-jump semimartingales.

description: We present a new technique for determining an upper limit for the mass of the black hole in active galactic nuclei showing warm absorption features. The method relies on the balance of radiative and gravitational forces acting on outflowing warm absorber clouds. It has been applied to 6 objects: five Seyfert 1 galaxies: IC 4329a, MCG-6-30-15, NGC 3516, NGC 4051 and NGC 5548; and one radio-quiet quasar: MR 2251-178. We discuss our result in comparison with other methods. The procedure could also be applied to any other radiatively driven optically thin outflow in which the spectral band covering the major absorption is directly observed.

description: We calculate certain features of Bose-Einstein condensation in the ideal gas by using recurrence relations for the partition function. The grand canonical ensemble gives inaccurate results for certain properties of the condensate that are accurately provided by the canonical ensemble. Calculations in the latter can be made tractable for finite systems by means of the recurrence relations. The ideal one-dimensional harmonic Bose gas provides a particularly simple and pedagogically useful model for which detailed results are easily derived. An analysis of the Bose system via permutation cycles yields insight into the physical meaning of the recurrence relations.

description: Mit der philosophischen Hermeneutik formuliert Gadamer in seinem Hauptwerk Wahrheit und Methode eine ontologische Wende: Sein, das verstanden werden kann, ist Sprache. Wenn das Verstehen von Texten oder Traditionen gelingt, spricht er von einer Horizontverschmelzung. Im ersten Teil untersucht dieser Artikel Gadamers Konzept des Verstehens mittels eines Vergleichs zu Derridas Dekonstruktion: Wie können wir sicher sein, dass wir wirklich einander und nicht bloß uns selbst verstehen? Der zweite Teil geht mit Gadamer über ihn hinaus und weist Momente des sozialen Lebens auf, in denen Verstehen scheinbar unmittelbar gelingt. Das Beispiel des Lachens zeigt, dass unsere Sprache nicht an Worten ihre Grenze findet und es Momente gibt, in denen wir einander unmittelbar verstehen. Diese Momente erweitern die Möglichkeiten unserer Sprache: Indem wir ihnen Raum lassen, erhöhen wir die Chance für ein gelingendes Verstehen – sowohl im wissenschaftlichen Kontext der Psychoanalyse und Philosophie als auch in alltäglicher Kommunikation.

description: We present near-infrared spectra with resolutions of lambda/dlambda~1200 in the emission lines of Pa-beta, [FeII] (1.2567um), Br-gamma, and H2 v=1-0S(1) of the nuclei and circumnuclear regions of the four Seyfert 2 galaxies Mk 1066, NGC 2110, NGC 4388, and Mk 3. All of these galaxies show strong near-infrared line emission that is detected at radii several times the spatial resolution, corresponding to projected physical scales of 0.07 to 0.7 kpc. Velocity gradients are detected in these nuclei, as are spatial variations in line profiles and flux ratios. We compare the spatial and velocity distribution of the line emission to previously observed optical line and radio emission. The evidence indicates that the [FeII] emission is associated with the Seyfert activity in the galaxies. Our data are consistent with X-ray heating being responsible for most of the [FeII] emission, although differences in [FeII] and Pa-beta line profiles associated with radio emission suggests that the [FeII] emission is enhanced by fast shocks associated with radio outflows. The H2 emission is not as strongly associated with outflows or ionization cones as is the emission in other lines, but rather appears to be primarily associated with the disk of the galaxy.

description: We analyse the generalized, dynamic Nelson-Siegel approach including five factors to ensures the absence of arbitrage. In contrast to previous empirical analyses we define our risk factors so that they are observable and determine their significance using a series of cross sectional regressions. We then decompose the risk factors and test whether they are significant on each time scale. The results allow us to distinguish expected and unexpected components which are used in out of sample forecasts. We find good forecasting abilities of this approach; the one month forecast remains high even during times of financial market distress.
The Significance of Paul Ricoeur’s Narrative Theory and Hermeneutics for Understanding Carl Jung’s Red Book

description: Hermeneutics is a significant dimension of C.G. Jung’s analytical psychology, although Jung did not develop a consistent hermeneutic method, and this aspect of his work has not yet been sufficiently explored. This paper examines the relevance of Paul Ricoeur’s hermeneutics and narrative theory for the interpretation of Carl Jung’s Red Book, which can be perceived as a narrative experiment. Ricoeur focuses on the narrative character of human experience. Paul Ricoeur’s ideas of narrative and plot are significant for exploring Jung’s inner experience described in his Red Book as well as the narrative structure of The Red Book.

description: Femtosecond laser pulses interacting with LiNbO3 has been widely applied in intense terahertz generation, excitation and imaging of phonon polaritons and modulating light. It is of great importance to study the nonlinearities induced by femtosecond laser pulses in LiNbO3. Here, we demonstrate that both Kerr nonlinearity and Kerr-like nonlinearity induced by terahertz wave occur under the interaction between laser pulses and LiNbO3 using optical pump-probe techniques. We show that the contribution of Kerr-like nonlinearity to pump-probe spectra varies with the interaction length because of the phase mismatching between terahertz wave and laser pulse. We also observed the excitation of the low frequency phonon polaritons. Experimental results are in consistent with theoretical calculation.

description: Fertilizer subsidy program is one of the most well-known and politically sensitive policies in Sub-Saharan countries. Countries such as Malawi, Nigeria, Ghana and Ethiopia are characterized by large funded fertilizer subsidy programs in recent years. Malawi, Ghana and Nigeria administer a targeted input subsidy program (e.g. fertiliser voucher program), while Ethiopia uses a universal subsidy program where the government imports fertilizer and distributes it among farmers at below-market price through the network of cooperative unions. These two programs, highly discussed in the literature, often raise a debate. This paper aims at contributing to this discussion by assessing the likely impacts of these two fertilizer subsidy programs (flexible and targeted programs) on the productivity and food security of Ethiopian smallholder farmers. A novel farm-household model, FSSIM-Dev (Farm System Simulator for Developing Countries), is used to test both programs as well as to assess their production, consumption and welfare effects on a nationally representative sample of farm households in Ethiopia.

  Type species. –  Bulimus macleayi Brazier, 1876; by original designation Solem, 1964a: 118.
  Remarks. –  Amimopina possesses an ovate conical, small, thin and translucent shell; uniformly corneous or light brownish with thin growth lines on the surface; aperture ovate with a simple peristome (Solem, 1964a; Schileyko, 1998). Radula teeth are monocuspid and spatulate. The genitalia are typical of cerastids with a short gametolytic sac (Solem, 1964a; 1973).
 Negligible information is available on Amimopina systematics and distribution; the evidence for Schileyko’s (1998) assertion that Amimopina includes two or three species is not clear. Solem (1964a, b; 1973) provided reliable reports of Amimopina from Australia and New Guinea but, primarily owing to the low abundance of these fragile shells and their exhibiting very few taxonomically informative characters, species limits have not been established. Our results and those of Solem (1959a) suggest a close relationship between Rhachistia and Amimopina. The genera are very similar in possessing a conical shell, a simple peristome and spatulate radula, as well as exhibiting a blackish pigment lining in the vagina and bud-shaped gametolytic sac. Only small differences in the thickness and translucence of the shell, in the very fine growth lines and the monochrome corneous to light brown colour separate them.

description: The Very Small Array (VSA) is a synthesis telescope designed to image faint structures in the cosmic microwave background on degree and sub-degree angular scales. The VSA has key differences from other CMB interferometers with the result that different systematic errors are expected. We have tested the operation of the VSA with a variety of blank-field and calibrator observations and cross-checked its calibration scale against independent measurements. We find that systematic effects can be suppressed below the thermal noise level in long observations; the overall calibration accuracy of the flux density scale is 3.5 percent and is limited by the external absolute calibration scale.

description: In the first phase of the CCAFS Program (Climate Change, Agriculture and Food security), climate-smart agriculture practices (CSAP) were identified and needed to be tested. In the semi-arid maize-growing areas of Kenya, dry-tolerant varieties and maize-legume intercropping appeared as the most appropriate CSAP, and this paper presents farmer’s evaluation of these farming systems. During on-station and on-farm trials in Makueni County, participatory evaluation of intercropping systems of five maize varieties and four beans varieties was conducted. In total, 150 farmers participated; they scored each variety on the basis of several phenotypic criteria and provided an overall score for the variety. Results emphasized the complexity of their varieties’ perception. In order to explain the overall score by different agronomic and socio-economic factors, a cumulative mixed model effect was estimated, including random effects for each farmer. Dry-tolerant varieties had a significant lower score, as GLP92 for beans and TEGO for maize. Socio-economic factors including age and gender of the participants influenced the overall score of varieties. We demonstrated that farmers who already purchased improved seed tended to give lower score. Finally, an OLS regression allowed exploring the weight of each phenotypic criterion in the overall score of a maize or bean varieties. This analysis revealed that farmer’s perception of a good variety is complex and rely on multiple criteria unlike most of the breeding program mainly based on yield oriented indicators
“The shimmer is inside really”. D. H. Lawrence’s Resurrection Myth and Wilfred’s Bion’s Transformations in “O”
Creators: name: Griffiths, Emily

description: I analyse D. H. Lawrence’s hostility to the application of Freudian theory to literature in his critical writings alongside the aesthetic theories he develops in his novels Sons and Lovers, Lady Chatterley’s Lover and The Man Who Died which are centred around the Christian mystery of the resurrection. Lawrence develops a life-affirming, reader-response theory of art with parallels to psychoanalysis and Christian theology. Employing the psychoanalytic theories of Melanie Klein and Wilfred Bion, specifically Klein’s writings on projective identification, the paranoid-schizoid and reparative positionalities and Bion’s epistemophilic concept of a transcendent position, “O”, I review second-wave feminist criticisms of Lawrence to posit that Lawrence develops gender epistemologically as a reparative model of communication. In response to Paul Ricœur’s notion of the hermeneutics of suspicion, I consider Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick’s Kleinian article on ‘paranoid reading’ to conclude that Lawrence aimed to represent a reparative relationship between art and criticism, reader and text. Freudian and feminist criticism often performs a “paranoid reading” of his works, an “error” Lawrence was sensitive to. Kleinian-Bionian psychoanalytic methodology aids in restoring Lawrence’s oeuvre to the spirit in which he intended it to be read whilst exposing the psychopathological foundations of his enterprise.

description: We present the first coherent dynamical study of the cloud fragmentation-phase, collapse and early stellar evolution of a solar mass star. We determine young star properties as the consequence of the parent cloud evolution. Mass, luminosity and effective temperature in the first million years of the proto-Sun result from gravitational fragmentation of a molecular cloud region that produces a cluster of prestellar clumps. We calculate the global dynamical behavior of the cloud using isothermal 3D hydrodynamics and follow the evolution of individual protostars in detail using a 1D radiation-fluid-dynamic system of equations that comprises a correct standard solar model solution, as a limiting case. We calculate the pre-main sequence (PMS) evolutionary tracks of a solar mass star in a dense stellar cluster environment and compare it to one that forms in isolation. Up to an age of 950.000 years differences in the accretion history lead to significantly different temperature and luminosity evolution. As accretion fades and the stars approach their final masses the two dynamic PMS tracks converge. After that the contraction of the quasi-hydrostatic stellar interiors dominate the overall stellar properties and proceed in very similar ways. Hence the position of a star in the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram becomes a function of age and mass only. However, our quantitative description of cloud fragmentation, star formation and early stellar evolution predicts substantial corrections to the classical, i.e. hydrostatic and initially fully convective models: At an age of 1 million years the proto-Sun is twice as bright and 500 Kelvin hotter than according to calculations that neglect the star formation process.

description: Seasonal influenza vaccine coverage remains low in China due to possible influenza vaccine hesitancy (IVH) and practical issues. We sought to investigate IVH and its determinants among children’s guardians and the elderly for a better understanding of the situation and for future intervention. We performed two cross-sectional studies to identify the profiles and determinants of IVH using stratified cluster random sampling in an eastern China province in 2019. Of the 1564 guardians and 522 elders, 43.2% (95%CI: 40.4–46.0%) of guardians and 33.5% of elders (95%CI: 29.5–37.6%) had IVH. ‘From rural area’ (odds ratio: 1.36), ‘don’t know government recommendation for flu vaccination’ (1.39), ‘don’t know flu vaccine is vaccinated annually’ (1.93), and ‘family members (0.22), friends and neighbors had positive attitude toward flu vaccine’ (0.58) were related factors of the guardians’ IVH. ‘Aged 70–79 years’ (0.46), ‘had flu before’ (0.35) and ‘once had been vaccinated’ (0.42) were related to the elderly’s IVH. Poor awareness of influenza and vaccination, relatives’ negative/positive attitude, lack of government recommendations, anxiety about vaccine quality, and practical issues such as short supply are related to IVH in China. Precision education aimed at hesitancy in wider groups is anticipated to increase vaccine confidence and coverage in influenza-vulnerable groups.

description: Il tessuto simbolico-narrativo cinematografico costituisce uno dei territori più interessanti di ricerca sul significativo intreccio tra psicanalisi ed ermeneutica: l’analisi di due opere, Shutter Island (2010, Martin Scorsese) e Inception (2010, Christopher Nolan) attesterà ancora una volta la densità di senso e la validità euristica del concetto ricoeuriano di «identità narrativa» e, al contempo, aprirà la riflessione ad un inquietante quesito: «solo la Verità ci può salvare?». I protagonisti riusciranno a creare il filo d’Arianna in grado di salvarli dall’oscuro labirinto della loro interiorità? Con esiti differenti, il conflitto delle interpretazioni del cinema costringerà la filosofia allo scontro frontale con il trauma rimosso (Traum, ferita e sogno) della verità: essa può salvare (e non solo essere terapeutica) solo se non distrugge la fragilità dell’individuo, ma gli dona una nuova nascita, la possibilità di «vivere nonostante tutto» abitando simbolicamente la ferita che lo costituisce.

description: Near-field radiative heat transfer between bodies at the nanoscale can surpass blackbody limits on thermal radiation by orders of magnitude due to contributions from evanescent electromagnetic fields, which carry no energy to the far-field. Thus far, principles guiding explorations of larger heat transfer beyond planar structures have assumed utility in surface nanostructuring, which can enhance the density of states, and further assumed that such design paradigms can approach Landauer limits, in analogy to conduction. We derive fundamental shape-independent limits to radiative heat transfer, applicable in near- through far-field regimes, that incorporate material and geometric constraints such as intrinsic dissipation and finite object sizes, and show that these preclude reaching the Landauer limits in all but a few restrictive scenarios. Additionally, we show that the interplay of material response and electromagnetic scattering among proximate bodies means that bodies which maximize radiative heat transfer actually maximize scattering rather than absorption. Finally, we compare our new bounds to existing Landauer limits, as well as limits involving bodies maximizing far-field absorption, and show that these lead to overly optimistic predictions. Our results have ramifications for the ultimate performance of thermophotovoltaics and nanoscale cooling, as well as related incandescent and luminescent devices.

description: Small irrigation schemes have become very popular in many African countries as a policy measure to boost agriculture and farm income given their relatively low capital investment compared with to large irrigation infrastructures and the shorter time required for the project design and implementation. This paper attempts to explore the likely impacts of a program of small irrigation development in Niger on land allocation, agricultural production, food security and poverty reduction on a nationally representative sample of farm households. A farm-household model, named FSSIM-Dev (Farm System Simulator for Developing Countries), is used to achieve this objective. This static positive programming model was applied to every individual farm household included in the 2011-2012 LSMS-ISA survey sample – around 2300 farm households – in order to guarantee the highest representativeness of the farming systems and to capture the full heterogeneity across farm households. Results show that irrigation has a large impact on agriculture production and income of smallholder farmers, mainly during the dry season and in the regions with high potential irrigable land. Farm income would increase by around 7 % at country level if small irrigation was made available to all farmers. At the regional and individual farm levels the impact is more pronounced (reaching more than 80 % in one region). Additionally, the income impacts are larger for those households with the lowest agricultural income in the baseline, showing the large potential impacts of small irrigation in terms of poverty and inequality reduction.

description: We present the power spectrum of the fluctuations in the cosmic microwave background detected by the Very Small Array (VSA) in its first season of observations in its compact configuration. We find clear detections of first and second acoustic peaks at l~200 and l~550, plus detection of power on scales up to l=800. The VSA power spectrum is in very good agreement with the results of the Boomerang, Dasi and Maxima telescopes despite the differing potential systematic errors.

Symbol and Interpretation in the Work of Reparation
Creators: name: Bettineschi, Paolo
Publisher: name: Critical Hermeneutics
Year: 2021

description: L’istituzione di relazioni di parificazione simbolica dipende dalla nostra volontà interpretante, e cioè dal nostro desiderio di interpretare in termini simbolici alcune delle cose con le quali abbiamo a che fare. L’interpretazione oltrepassa l’immediatezza fenomenologica e si concentra su contenuti che, nonostante la loro differenza, mostrano di stare in pari in quanto sono voluti come contenuti di pari valore. Se il simbolo riesce a costituirsi, per noi diventa possibile riparare anche in termini simbolici e non rimanere fermi all’accadimento della distruzione. Passando attraverso la mediazione offerta dal simbolo la pratica riparativa si fa anzi più ampia e più concreta. La nostra salvezza dall’angoscia e dalla disperazione, perciò, si rende possibile solo se siamo sostenuti da un desiderio capace di inventare nuovi simbolismi affettivi: un desiderio capace di interpretare le cose di cui il mondo oggettuale si compone secondo rapporti di parificazione amorosa che si rinnovano e si diffondono progressivamente.
