description: Cultural heritage institutions are increasingly interested in data practices, machine learning (ML), and artificial intelligence (AI) but are far from being able to use these practices ethically, efficiently, and cost-effectively. Without informational professionals trained in ethical data work, libraries and archives run the risk of replicating bias with new data-oriented practices. While graduate students in schools of information and library science are trained in the importance of digital cultural heritage and critical data studies and graduate students in the humanities are trained in the ethics of archival research, neither groups are given first-hand experience providing access to collections and engaging directly with data projects. It is imperative that we train a workforce of information professionals who will, in their future careers, be prepared to make ethical decisions about the data practices that shape our world. The “Humanist-in-the-Loop” project, funded by the Good Systems grand challenge at UT Austin is a first-step attempt to create a workforce development program called “Ethical Data in Practice” for future library and archives professionals that teaches them to engage in the work of “responsible data operations” (Thomas. 2019). A program of this type is an attempt to immerse Masters of Science in Information Science (MSIS) students in cultural heritage work—training them to teach with cultural heritage collections, communicate to non-specialist audiences about collections as data, and to work on data-oriented projects. This white paper details the work the Humanist-in-the-Loop team engaged to prepare this proposed curriculum as well as the pitfalls we encountered in its pursuit.

Filumena Marturano: Language and Culture in Standard Arabic and Egyptian Vernacular Translations
Creators: name: Avallone, Lucia
Publisher: name: Kervan. International Journal of Afro-Asiatic Studies
Year: 2020

description: The translation of theatrical works in which dialects are present is a delicate process of mediation requiring a careful valuation of formal and communicative textual aspects. For mediating between two different universes the translator must firstly choose whether to transmit the original text language variation – through the strategies available in the target language – or whether to ignore it, transferring the script into the standard target language. Accordingly, both the source oriented and the target-oriented translations are possible and produce results worthy of being examined, from the perspective of a wide interdisciplinary area including linguistic and cultural studies. Arabic versions of Italian theatrical and narrative works, originally characterized by the use of dialects, show a variety of solutions to the problems arising while translating, which are interesting for reflecting on the general decision-making process of translation and on the language choices adopted in a given target culture. My contribution aims to present the outcomes of a comparison between the original text of Filumena Marturano (1946), one of the comedies written by the Italian dramatist Eduardo De Filippo, and both the standard Arabic translation (2006) and the Egyptian vernacular script of its stage representation (1998). In the source text there are many Neapolitan vernacular expressions, as dialect is a major feature in typifying characters and environment, but the translations resort to a general neutralization of the foreign culture, through standardization or homogenization with the Egyptian culture.

Elements of the Future in Gadamer's Conception of Understanding
Creators: name: Rotundo, Alessio
Publisher: name: Trópos
Year: 2020

description: In this essay, I offer an exegetical analysis of futural elements in Gadamer’s concept of understanding from Truth and Method. Gadamer’s opus magnum is largely known for his focus on the finite historical features of human existence through notions such as history of effects, prejudice, tradition, authority, etc. My thesis is that Gadamer’s ideas of history and historical understanding remain inadequately grasped if too much weight is placed on the temporal dimension of the past. By a close reading of some salient concepts articulating Gadamer’s theory of hermeneutical understanding, my aim is to shed light upon the dimension of the future that these concepts entail. As a result, my contribution provides an interpretive schema that detects a theory of the future running through Gadamer’s investigation of the hermeneutic phenomenon.

description: The cultural values of any group of people correlates with the practice of medicine either in traditional or advanced societies. Using a qualitative research approach, the study accounts for the changes in culture and how it has influenced the medical practice of the Kwahu people of Ghana in particular. Cultural values in the Kwahu vicinity and the world at large has gone through changes over time. In this vein, the practice of medicine which is embedded cultural constructs have experienced some changes since the cultural values of the people have gone through enormous metamorphosis. Although the values of culture -on their own- changes overtime, this paper associate most of the changes with the community’s encounter with the Europeans dominance on the African continent. Factors such as Christianity, formal education, individualism, urbanization and others as discussed in this empirical research, have served as the major drivers of social change; the combination of these social forces have impacted the nature of medical practice among the people of Kwahu. The current study has built on studies like that of Twumasi (1975), Adu Gyamfi (2010; 2015; 2016) and other scholars. The current contribution concludes among other things that the youth are the major exhibitors of social change. Practitioners have therefore seen the need to use up to date technology and skills to meet the changing needs of the changing times and that of the increasing youthful population.

Publisher: name: Trópos
Year: 2020

description: Thinking at the Edge of Collapse: Temporality and Philosophy in Nick Land. This article aims to explore the nature of Nick Land’s “anomalous theory of time”, of which we can single out two fundamental features. Namely, (1) that the future is no less ontologically given than the past, and (2) that it can interfere with the present condition. In order to deepen their meaning, I map out a genealogy of Land’s theory, by drawing from his entanglement with multiple conceptual domains. Firstly, I deal with the notion of hyperstition, which is taken as an entry–point into Land’s understanding of time, and through which we can shift our attention from the future in itself to its virtual dimension, thereby clarifying the nature of its interactive dynamics with the present and actual sphere. Secondly, I address Land’s cybernetic approach to the structure of time, bringing into account some scientific issues that, according to the philosopher, point toward a re–evaluation of temporality. Eventually, by accounting for Land’s own hyperstition, which exposes philosophy to a reconfiguration of its functions — i.e., that of shedding light on, and effectuating alike, the (virtual) future to come — I resonate around the destiny of the philosophical thought therein.

Virtuality of Myth and Ontology of the Future
Creators: name: Šatkauskas, Ignas
Publisher: name: Trópos
Year: 2020

description: Speculative realism seems to be concerned with the future: Meillassoux’s and Brassier’s thought points its ontological direction to the world without humans either prior to the existence of life, or after the extinction of humanity — a kind of imaginary future that could be thought in terms of virtuality due to its observable effect on the present thought. Precisely this point is targeted by Deborah Danowski and Eduardo Viveiros de Castro (2017): their philosophy is actually an expression of the angst of future ecological catastrophe. Graham Harman (2020) reacts to this point by separating his position on the ontology of the future from Meillassoux and Brassier. He approaches the thematic of the future not by positing the world without–us, but by tracing the Only Exit from Modern Philosophy and actualizing the problematic of the thing–in–itself. The ontology of the future has to do away with the modern onto–taxonomy, based on the separation of thought and world, a theme which is originally reconceived, criticized and applied in Amerindian perspectivism as well, leading to resembling considerations on non–human sentience. This paper traces Harman’s reply to Danowski and Viveiros de Castro by juxtaposing his speculative position and the notion of virtuality of the Amerindian perspectivism.

Between Humans
Creators: name: Raimondo, Daniela
Publisher: name: Trópos

description: The coexistence of humans with new forms of intelligences, which may soon be called ‘new form of life’, urges the question about the specificity of being human. What makes a human, human? What are the fundamental characteristics defining humankind? In this future that we already experience, are machines helping or threatening humanity? Reflecting on the course of progress of science in area such as eugenics, a doubt insinuates itself whether the scientific/technological improvement would be a benefit for humanity or a risk; it may be conducive to lose part of the complexity that is a trait of ours as human being, aiming at being more functional, to ‘fit’ better within the future. Considering the soul as the feature that establishes the difference between a human and a machine, in a dialogue between Aristotle’s design and the narration that philosophers and writers have elaborated about it, we draw a portrait of humanity as a mosaic of biology, sensitivity, intellect and more, sense of existence and doubt of being, passions, sufferance and call for freedom; this ‘complexity’ that builds the human may need to be preserved and could already be partially missed.

description: The KATRIN experiment is going to search for the average mass of the electron antineutrino with a sensitivity of 0.2 eV/c2. It uses a retardation spectrometer of MAC-E filter type to accurately measure the shape of the electron spectrum at the endpoint of tritium beta decay. In order to achieve the planned sensitivity the transmission properties of the spectrometer have to be understood with high precision for all initial conditions. For this purpose an electron source has been developed that emits single electrons at adjustable total energy and adjustable emission angle. The emission is pointlike and can be moved across the full flux tube that is imaged onto the detector. Here, we demonstrate that this novel type of electron source can be used to investigate the transmission properties of a MAC-E filter in detail.

Sperare o aspirare?

Year: 2020

description: The article addresses the different conceptions about “the future” shared by Christian theology and futures studies. Where the latter are based on the idea of a plurality of possible futures, theology asserts the existence of a predetermined future whose conclusion coincides with the Parousia. The article shows how the comparison between these two different conceptions, since the 1970s, favored a gradual convergence, as the traditional notion of “prediction” of the future was gradually dismissed, replaced by the new notion of anticipation, which incorporates the issues of hope (though Jürgen Moltmann’s theology of hope) and the aspirations shared by different social groups. The future as an extrapolation of the present (futurum, i.e. the future that “will be”) is replaced by the future as a horizon of expectation able of generating change in the present (adventus, i.e. the coming future).

description: We have studied the dissociation of quarkonia states in a deconfined medium of quarks and gluons at the large baryon chemical potential and small temperature region. The aim of this study is to probe the dense baryonic medium expected to be produced at the Facility for Anti-proton and Ion Research(FAIR), GSI Darmstadt. This is done by correcting both the short- and long-distance terms of the Cornell potential by a dielectric function, embodying the effects of deconfined quarks and gluons, at finite baryon chemical potential and temperature. It is found that $J/ψ$ is dissociated approximately at 1.4$μ_c$ in the temperature range 20-50 $MeV$, which can indirectly help to locate the point on the QCD phase diagram at the large chemical potential and low-temperature zone.

description: In many cultural texts, disability and futurity take different paths. We will analyse several narratives which work as a background for this assumption, proposing in every section some counter–narrations. Firstly, disability is often understood as a tragedy. Secondly, it is often presumed that disabled people are nostalgic of their ‘former’ selves, which freeze them in a suspended time. Then, we will examine how our incapacity to imagine a flourishing future with disability affects our removal of disabled people from our collective future. Lastly, we will propose an imagined world which already, sometimes, presents this erasure: science fiction — and especially some utopian and feminist texts.

description: Background: The association between a lifetime history of sexual victimization and the well-being of women during the perinatal period has received increasing attention. However, research investigating this relationship has yet to be systematically reviewed or quantitatively synthesized. Aim: This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to calculate the pooled effect size estimate of the statistical association between a lifetime history of sexual victimization and perinatal depression (PND). Method: Four bibliographic databases were systematically searched, and reference harvesting was conducted to identify peer-reviewed articles that empirically examined associations between a lifetime history of sexual victimization and PND. A random effects model was used to ascertain an overall pooled effect size estimate in the form of an odds ratio and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Subgroup analyses were also conducted to assess whether particular study features and sample characteristic (e.g., race and ethnicity) influenced the magnitude of effect size estimates. Results: This review included 36 studies, with 45 effect size estimates available for meta-analysis. Women with a lifetime history of sexual victimization had 51% greater odds of experiencing PND relative to women with no history of sexual victimization (OR = 1.51, 95% CI [1.35, 1.67]). Effect size estimates varied considerably according to the PND instrument used in each study and the racial/ethnic composition of each sample. Conclusion: Findings provide compelling evidence for an association between a lifetime history of sexual victimization and PND. Future research should focus on screening practices and interventions that identify and support survivors of sexual victimization perinatally.

description: Adolescent bullying continues to be a major focus of scholarship across the globe. This article reviews research from 2010 to 2021 with a particular focus on longitudinal studies of the bully–sexual violence pathway (BSVP), where bullying serves as a precursor for sexual violence (SV) (e.g., sexual harassment, sexual coercion, and sexual assault) and teen dating violence via individual and socio-contextual mediators. Articles reviewed consisted of a total of 505, which included 17 meta-analyses and systematic reviews. Databases used for the search were Academic Search Complete, Education Full Text (H. W. Wilson), ERIC, National Criminal Justice Reference Service Abstracts, PsycINFO, PubMed (Medline), and Social Sciences Abstracts (H. W. Wilson). In total, 107 peer-reviewed articles were included in this review. Potential mechanisms underlying the BSVP include social dominance orientation, exposure to sexual education, and alcohol use. Several school-based intervention approaches have evidenced marginal success in reducing rates of bullying and SV by targeting factors undergirding both behaviors. The efficacy of international prevention approaches is summarized. Gaps in the literature are identified and future research is proposed.

description: Nanostore retailing is a ubiquitous term throughout company and university websites or in scientific journals. One objective of nanostores is to achieve a process of convenience by reducing waiting time to respond to demand, improving logistics in the sales process to end customers. Although the understanding of nanostore concepts has been sharpened in the last years, it is still challenging for academics, practitioners, supply chain manufacturers, and nanostore owners to establish a concrete roadmap within the jungle of different terminologies, ideas, and concepts. The theoretical and empirical study of the formal adoption of the nanostore in supply chain management (SCM) is a new and critical topic that requires further investigation. Since some studies begin to review the work on nanostores, our goal is to map the evidence available about the requirements practices adopted, and challenges faced by SCMs to understand how requirements issues are resolved using technological and managerial practices. Our study identifies three dimensions from six categories of paper content, discussing current shortcomings, challenges, and future research directions. Research in this developing field, with heterogeneous studies, benefits significantly from this first review, aimed at understanding and reorganizing available knowledge, as well as an important methodological contribution by applying elements of systematic literature review (SLR), originally from health sciences, to SCM and nanostores studies, where there is no SLR and the concepts are often poorly operationalized, thus not providing sufficient assistance to organizations in their efforts to implement SCM practices in nanostores.

description: A major consequence of special relativity, expressed in the relation $E_0 = m c^2$, is that the total energy content of an object at rest, including its thermal motion and binding energy among its constituents, is a measure of its inertia, i.e. its mass. This relation was first stated by Einstein. He showed that, in order to be consistent with the principles of special relativity, there must be a loss of inertia in a block that emits two pulses of electromagnetic radiation. A pedagogical difficulty with this example is that radiation is a purely relativistic phenomenon, and so the connection with the examples one learns in introductory Mechanics courses is not simple. Here we use a more familiar example of masses and springs, where the non-relativistic limit can be easily found and where the potential energy is clearly shown to be part of the mass of the bound system.

De/syn/chrono/biopolitics

Publisher: name: Trópos
Year: 2020

description: This essay argues that current neoliberal regime is primarily characterized by synchronicity as its main mode of temporality. My claim is that despite the apparent impression that the imperative of synchronicity enhances the subject’s capacity to act in time and therefore shape her future, it instead hinders it. This observation leads to a critical re–examination of the dominant mode of temporality and necessitates the development of a new conceptual apparatus that accounts for both synchronical production of subjectivity and intrinsic to it (bio)political implications. I offer the synthetic notion of synchronobiopolitics as a means to look closely at how contemporary biopower synchronizes with subject’s productive affects and, vice versa, makes her synchronize with it. The essay starts with the analysis of precarious socioeconomic conditions of production and then moves to the exploration of epistemontological premises of synchronobiopolitics, so as to provide a detailed account of the affective mechanics of the latter. Particular attention is paid to the problem of the future, its construction under synchrobiopolitical conditions, and possible ways to resist synchronization and thus participate in the production of alternative future(s).

description: An important aspect of improving perturbative predictions in high energy physics is efficiently reducing dimensionally regularised Feynman integrals through integration by parts (IBP) relations. The well-known triangle rule has been used to achieve simple reduction schemes. In this work we introduce an extensible, multi-loop version of the triangle rule, which we refer to as the diamond rule. Such a structure appears frequently in higher-loop calculations. We derive an explicit solution for the recursion, which prevents spurious poles in intermediate steps of the computations. Applications for massless propagator type diagrams at three, four, and five loops are discussed.
François Fénelon: Modern philosopher or conservative theologian?
Creators: name: Oprea, Alexandra
Publisher: name: SAGE Publications Ltd
Year: 2021

description: Ryan Patrick Hanley makes two original claims about François Fénelon: (1) that he is best regarded as a political philosopher, and (2) that his political philosophy is best understood as “moderate and modern.” In what follows, I raise two concerns about Hanley’s revisionist turn. First, I argue that the role of philosophy in Fénelon’s account is rather as a handmaiden of theology than as an autonomous area of inquiry—with implications for both the theory and practice of politics. Second, I use Fénelon’s writings on the education of women as an illustration of the more radical and reactionary aspects of his thought. Despite these limits, the book makes a compelling case for recovering Fénelon and opens up new conversations about education, religion, political economy, and international relations in early modern political thought.

description: Digital information and communication technologies (ICTs) have profoundly changed the structure of human societies. In this survey we have analyzed some of these transformations in order to highlight the challenge posed by these technologies to current and future human generations. More precisely, given that ICTs have become a crucial factor in economic growth, and that — due to their energy consumption, the use of material resources and waste generation — they risk accentuating the environmental problems emerged with the industrial era, their usage must be examined taking into consideration their advantages and dangers. However, an already uncertain evaluation is all the more complicated by a third element that interacts with the previous ones: by reshaping traditional production and consumption models, ICTs are able to contribute significantly to the reduction of polluting emissions from human activities. The survey aims to address the risks associated with the use of ICT and to underscore some problematic aspects of current management strategies.

description: The goal of this qualitative study was to assess physicians’ perceptions around features of key screens within a prominent commercial EHR, and to solicit end-user recommendations for improved retrieval of high-priority clinical information. We conducted a qualitative, descriptive study of 25 physicians in a medical ICU setting. at a tertiary academic medical center. An in-depth, semi-structured interview guide was developed to elicit physician perceptions on information retrieval as well as favorable and unfavorable features of specific EHR screens. Transcripts were independently coded in a qualitative software management tool by at least two trained coders using a common code book. We successfully obtained vendor permission to map physicians perception’s on full Epic© screenshots. Among the 25 physician participants (13 female; 5 attending physicians, 9 fellows, 11 residents), the majority of participants reported experiencing challenges finding clinical information in the EHR. We present the most favorable and unfavorable screen-level features for four central EHR screens: Flowsheet, Notes/Chart Review, Results Review, and Vital Signs. We also compiled participants’ recommendations for a comprehensive EHR dashboard screen to better support clinical workflow and information retrieval in the medical ICU through User-Centered Design. ICU physicians demonstrated a mix of positive and negative attitudes toward specific screen-level features in a major vendor-based EHR system. Physician perceptions of information overload emerged as a theme across multiple EHR screens. Our findings underscore the importance of qualitative research and end-user feedback in EHR software design and interface optimization at both the vendor and institutional level.

description: The Spherical gaseous detector (or Spherical Proportional Counter, SPC) is a novel type of par- ticle detector, with a broad range of applications. Its main features include a very low energy threshold independent of the volume (due to its very low capacitance), a good energy resolution, robustness and a single detection readout channel, in its simplest version. Applications range from radon emanation gas monitoring, neutron flux and gamma counting and spectroscopy to dark matter searches, in particular low mass WIMPs and coherent neutrino scattering measure- ment. Laboratories interested in these various applications share expertise within the NEWS (New Experiments With Sphere) network. SEDINE, a low background prototype installed at underground site of Laboratoire Souterrain de Modane is currently being operated and aims at measuring events at very low energy threshold, around 100 eV. We will present the energy cali- bration with 37Ar, the surface background reduction, the measurement of detector background at sub-keV energies, and show anticipated sensitivities for light dark matter search.

Tempi tecnici
Creators: name: De Cesaris, Alessandro
Publisher: name: Trópos
Year: 2020

description: The essay offers an analysis of the relationship between technology and time, and it aims at showing that our individual and social experience of time is technologically shaped. The text features three sections. The first part highlights some fundamental aspects of the relationship between technology and time in Greek thought, in particular through a reading of Plato’s Protagoras. The analysis follows the development of the notion of techne in Greek philosophy, in particular through the relation with the notion of dynamis and the recognition of different levels of technicity. The second part of the essay focuses on some temporal aspects of Aristotle’s theory of techne, in particular on the relationship between techne and episteme and on the importance of the notion of telos. The third and final part highlights the historical character of the relationship between technics and time, and thus the historical nature of our experience of time. The recognition of this historicity is particularly important in order not to conflate different technological environments, as some scholars inadvertently do in their analyses of the history of ideas.

Le tecnologie digitali e i futuri perduti
Creators: name: Sisto, Davide
Publisher: name: Trópos
Year: 2020

description: My paper aims at underlining how the current use of digital technologies is generating an important transformation in the relationship between the past and the future. More specifically, the registration for eternity of our data, which we share on the social networks, determines the continue overlapping of the past on the present. In this way, it is impossible to tell apart the present from the past and this implies the slow cancellation of the future. Firstly, my paper, through the studies by Douglas Rushkoff and Mark Fisher, aims at describing the exorbitant amount of data and information which we accumulate on the social networks. Secondly, it aims at showing that the social networks have become the digital archives that shape in a new way the relationship between memories and oblivion. This digital relationship produces the social and the cultural conditions from which the users of the internet live now in the past and forget the future.

Rethinking Human: Transcendental Idealism Technologized
Creators: name: Habdankaite, Daina
Publisher: name: Trópos
Year: 2020

description: In this paper the relationship between human and machine is conceptualized by reading Quentin Meillassoux, Bernard Stiegler and Catherine Malabou. The paper traces their debt to Kantian transcendentalism and exposes their differences in treating the relationship between subject and its surroundings. While Meillassoux’s non–correlational subject is showcased to be problematic due to his unclear concept of mathematical mediation, Stiegler and Malabou’s takes on epigenesis are proved to be more fruitful, yet different in relation to the idea of materiality, approaches in conceptualizing the human–machine relationship and its future creative potential.

description: Our purpose in this descriptive cross-sectional study was to examine the prevalence of mobile health (mHealth) apps use, factors associated with downloading mHealth apps, and to describe characteristics of mHealth apps use among Jordanian patients in government-sponsored outpatient clinics. A total of 182 (41.6%) of the 438 outpatients who completed questionnaires downloaded mHealth apps. Common reasons for downloading mHealth apps included tracking physical activity, losing weight, learning exercises, as well as monitoring, and controlling diet. More than two thirds of the users (70%) stopped using the apps they downloaded due to loss of interest, lack of anticipated support, too time consuming, or better apps available. The most common personal reasons for never downloading mHealth apps were lack of interest, in good health, and the most common technical reasons included a limited data plan, lack of trust, cost, and complexity of the apps. We also found that gender, age, weight, and educational level influenced the decision whether to download mHealth apps or not. We have shown the potential in mHealth apps use among Jordanian patients is promising, and health care systems must adopt this technology as well as work through population needs and preferences to supply it.
Search for dark energy potentials in quintessence theory

description: The time evolution of the equation of state $w$ for quintessence models with a scalar field as dark energy is studied up to the third derivative ($d^3w/da^3$) with respect to the scale factor $a$, in order to predict the future observations and specify the scalar potential parameters with the observables. The third derivative of $w$ for general potential $V$ is derived and applied to several types of potentials. They are the inverse power-law ($V=M^{4+α}/Q^α$), the exponential ($V=M^4\exp{(βM/Q)}$), the mixed ( $V=M^{4+γ}\exp{(βM/Q)}/Q^γ$), the cosine ($V=M^4(\cos (Q/f)+1)$) and the Gaussian types ($V=M^4\exp(-Q^2/σ^2)$), which are prototypical potentials for the freezing and thawing models. If the parameter number for a potential form is $ n$, it is necessary to find at least for $n+2$ independent observations to identify the potential form and the evolution of the scalar field ($Q$ and $ \dot{Q} $). Such observations would be the values of $ Ω_Q, w, dw/da. \cdots $, and $ dw^n/da^n$. From these specific potentials, we can predict the $ n+1 $ and higher derivative of $w$ ; $ dw^{n+1}/da^{n+1}, \cdots$. Since four of the above mentioned potentials have two parameters, it is necessary to calculate the third derivative of $w$ for them to estimate the predict values. If they are tested observationally, it will be understood whether the dark energy could be described by the scalar field with this potential. At least it will satisfy the necessary conditions. Numerical analysis for $d^3w/da^3$ are made under some specified parameters in the investigated potentials, except the mixed one. It becomes possible to distinguish the potentials by the accurate observing $dw/da$ and $d^2w/da^2$ in some parameters.

Beyond One Image of Future
Creators: name: Sabolius, Kristupas
Publisher: name: Trópos
Year: 2020

description: What kind of imagination do we need ‘to see the future’? Stemming from Heidegger’s interpretation of the transcendental power of imagination as ‘original time’ in his Kant–Buch, this article focuses on a few significant points that follow this assumption: the tendency to conceive time in terms of wholeness and, consequentially, to condition the freedom of imagination. I claim that, since imagination is not able to establish arbitrary relations to time, it always fights with time for its freedom. This is why, in its primary function, transcendental imagination of future expresses its kinship with utopias which acquire a spatial topography of an island. As an alternative, I discuss several threads of thinking that emancipate the future from the paradigm of “one image.” In this respect I present two philosophical conceptions — futurability (by Berardi), futurity (Derrida) and voir venir (by Malabou) — which attempt to establish relations to the future time through its dimension of multiplicity and does not spark the utopian fantasy yet proffers the commitment to relations that would not be subordinated to human determination.

The Ontological Problem of Futurity
Creators: name: Krejberg Knudsen, Nicolai
Publisher: name: Trópos
Year: 2020

description: This article discusses what I call the ontological problem of futurity. On the one hand, the future escapes any attempt to reduce it to a phenomenologically given set of possibilities, while it, on the other hand, must be somehow experientially given in order to have any bearing on life as we know it. In the article, I first discuss how the ontological problem of futurity appears in the post–phenomenological conceptions of temporality and possibility found in both Derridian and Levinasian messianism as well as Meillassoux’s hyper–Chaos, which each in their own way conceptualize the future as something opposed to the structure of intentionality. I then proceed to propose a more traditional phenomenological — or rather Heideggerian — solution to the problem. In short, I show that Heidegger’s understanding of world–entry offers a distinction between innerworldly possibilities and possibilities of the world and argue that this twofold concept of potentiality, as well as the two corresponding attitudes towards the future, are sufficient to give the future its due (as that which exceeds the horizon of expectability) while still retaining an intimate relation to the structure of intentionality and the phenomenological horizon.
