On Never Letting Go
Creators: name: Howie, Cary
Publisher: name: punctum books
Year: 2014

description: There are a lot of things to be said for letting go. Our at-tachments can limit us in bad ways as well as good ones; more  than  once,  when  saying  goodbye  to  a  particular place  or  person  whose  future  just  cannot  be  mine  any longer,  I  have  thought  of  Alison  Krauss  affirming, with her usual  bittersweetness,  “And  I’m  no  longer  bound  /  I can  let  go  now.”1  It  is  often  difficult  to  cop  to  the  things that  bind  us;  difficult  to  assess  what  kind  of  binding makes us live more intensely and what kind of binding, in contrast,  merely  constrains  us,  keeps  us  from  that  fuller life. Letting go makes room for something, and the whole point  is  that  it’s  a  gamble:  you  don’t  know  what  you’re making  room  for.  That  determinacy  is,  among  other things,  what  you’re  giving  up.  Similarly,  in  a  different idiom, the classic definition of melancholia is built around a refusal to let go: a refusal to acknowledge what is gone as  gone.  But  in  the  background  of  every  question  about letting  go,  another  question  lurks:  how  do  we  know  that something  is  gone?  And  how,  by  the  same  token,  do  we come to terms with the very real presences that continue to  surround  and  define  us?  That  is  to  say,  if  melancholia misses its mark because it will not surrender what it aims at,  even  when  what  it  aims  at  is  gone,  there  is  a  kind  of complementary  malaise  that  is  too  cavalier  about  its terms  of  surrender,  that  wants  to  aim  at  nothing  at  all, that  wants  to  give  it  all  up,  even  those  things  without which  life  is,  strictly  speaking,  unimaginable.  In  these pages I’d like to ask this question, among others: is there a  way  to  honor  the  risk,  the  gamble,  implicit  in  our  ges-tures  of  relinquishment  while  also  affirming  the  ties  that continue to bind us—for the best—to the world? Or, to put it  slightly  differently,  can  we  let  go  of  certain  things—certain  professional  outcomes,  erotic  futures,  grudges, habits—while holding on to others, without this diminish-ing our relinquishment?

description: Gemeinhin wird Datenqualität definiert als die Eignung von Daten für einen bestimmten Anwendungszweck (fitness for use). Diese allgemeine Definition wird üblicherweise in eine Menge an Datenqualitätsdimensionen oder -kriterien aufgetrennt. Diese Dimensionen sind teils subjektiv, teils objektiv. Teils können sie automatisch gemessen werden, teils sind sie überprüfbar und teils können sie nur durch Expert*innen bewertet werden. Das Glossar zur Datenqualität listet alle relevanten Datenqualitätsdimensionen mit einer knappen allgemeinen Definition. Der Fokus liegt auf der Nutzung von Daten für Anwendungen der Künstliche Intelligenz. Die Dimensionen sind nicht orthogonal – ihre Bewertungen können voneinander abhängen; dennoch wirft jede Dimension einen etwas anderen Blick auf die Qualität von Daten. Sofern die Dimensionen oder wortgleiche Begriffe bereits in Gesetzen aufgegriffen wurden, enthält das Glossar einen entsprechenden Hinweis.* Einige klassische Dimensionen aus der Datenqualitätsliteratur (bspw. Objektivität, Compliance) werden hier näher ausdifferenziert oder in mehrere Elemente aufgespalten. In künftigen Ausgaben des Glossars planen wir, systematisch Beispiele hinzuzufügen sowie passende Literatur zu verknüpfen.

Statistical Theory for Adversarial Robustness in Machine Learning
Creators: name: Xing, Yue
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2022
Subjects: Statistical theory

description: Deep learning plays an important role in various disciplines, such as auto-driving, information technology, manufacturing, medical studies, and financial studies. In the past decade, there have been fruitful studies on deep learning in which training and testing data are assumed to follow the same distribution to humans. Recent studies reveal that these dedicated models are vulnerable to adversarial attack, i.e., the predicting label may be changed even if the testing input has an unaware perturbation. However, most existing studies aim to develop computationally efficient adversarial learning algorithms without a thorough understanding of the statistical properties of these algorithms. This dissertation aims to provide theoretical understandings of adversarial training to figure out potential improvements in this area of research.
 The first part of this dissertation focuses on the algorithmic stability of adversarial training. We reveal that the algorithmic stability of the vanilla adversarial training method is sub-optimal, and we study the effectiveness of a simple noise injection method. While noise injection improves stability, it also does not deteriorate the consistency of adversarial training.
 The second part of this dissertation reveals a phase transition phenomenon in adversarial training. When the attack strength increases, the training trajectory of adversarial training will deviate from its natural counterpart. Consequently, various properties of adversarial training are different from clean training. It is essential to have adaptations in the training configuration and the neural network structure to improve adversarial training.
 The last part of this dissertation focuses on how artificially generated data improves adversarial training. It is observed that utilizing synthetic data improves adversarial robustness, even if the data are generated using the original training data, i.e., no extra information is introduced. We use a theory to explain the reason behind this observation and propose further adaptations to utilize the generated data better.
Medievalism/ Surrealism
Creators: name: Mical, Thomas
Publisher: name: punctum books
Year: 2014

description: This is a question concerning architecture. An immersion into  the imaginary worlds,  specifically  the  fusion  of  an imaginary  world  into  the  everyday  real,  was  the  great project  of surrealism.  The  surrealist  avant-garde  sought to open up a supra-sensory milieu of impossible relations, including   monstrous   bodies,   irrational   hybrids, genre mutations, forbidden landscapes   and gardens,   and   a whole  range  of  partial  co-located  figures  and  gestures, half  real  and  half  other. Surrealism  was  the  promise  of  a world of alterity and delight, capable of emerging or eru-pting  at  the  slightest  provocation,  in  the  subtlest  periph-eral  glimpse  of  a  disfiguration,  and  in  the  recall  of  the sense  and  feel  of  a  new  space (déjà  vu, already  sensed). Surrealism  is  the  obverse  of  modern  rationalism,  both intersecting  but  incomplete  projects.  It  is  from  this  call that unrecognized  medieval alterity  can  diversify  medie-val  architectural  history  beyond  the  monumental  history of differentiated cathedrals (and walled cities).

2nd Program of the Ornamentalists
Creators: name: Remein, Daniel C.
Publisher: name: punctum books
Year: 2014

description: We,  the  Ornamentalists,  anarcho-eco-pacificist  amateurs, advocate an   aesthetics   of   historical   cosmicity   as   the ground of  an  ethics  of medieval  studies,  an  avant-garde poetics, and a revolutionary politics of elaborating a var-ied cosmos as Public Park. In the face of the current plan-etary ecological disaster and its goads—the State and Cap-italism—a  radical  reorientation of  our  interface  with  the Cosmos  is  necessary. For  medieval  studies  to  begin to adequately respond, it must move aside from the impulse to thematizethe cultural and the ecological or to describe their mutual transversal as thematized by medieval litera-ture.  Instead, we  mustMAKE  (as  inPOETICS).  We  mustelaborate non- and de-instrumentalized ethics and proce-dures that allow interface with the non-Human Cosmos.
Homo Narrans
Creators: name: Von Contzen, Eva
Publisher: name: punctum books
Year: 2014

description: My title is borrowed from a book by John D. Niles on the pervasiveness of storytelling among human beings.1 Niles investigates  oral  literature  from  both  an  anthropological and a  cultural  perspective  and  demonstrates  its  socio-cultural  grounding  and  significance.  We  think  in  stories and  narrativize  our  experiences  in  the  world.  We  trans-form objects, natural processes, and unrelated occurrenc-es  into  narratives  by  establishing  links  of  coherence  and causality,  by adding  personification  and  anthropomor-phism,  and  by  projecting  feelings  onto  that  which  sur-rounds  us.  We  tell  stories  to  soothe,  to  debate,  to  invite response, to strengthen friendship, to remember, to argue, to  bond,  and  to  define  our  identity―the  list  could  be extended  endlessly,  so  manifold  are  the  reasons  and  mo-tivations behind the storytelling impulse.
Historicism and its Discontents
Creators: name: Wade, Erik
Publisher: name: punctum books
Year: 2014

description: A text is being historicized. As with Freud's famous essay on  the  fantasy  “a  child  is  being  beaten,”  what  matters most is the fantasy that the vague statement covers over.1What is the fantasy that historicism supports? Numerous arguments have been raised against historicism. However,  my  interest  here  lies  less  in  those  arguments  than  in exploring the fantasy that undergirds both historicism as well  as  its  renunciation.  What  might  it  mean  to  give  up historicism? Moreover, what might it mean to abandon a practice, as opposed to abandoning an object? This essay troubles  the  idea  of  letting  go  of  historicism  by  suggest-ing  that  historicism  is  itself  a  kind  of  letting  go,  a  relin-quishing of the historical object to a distant past. So, to let go  of  historicism  is  to  refuse  to  let  go  of  the  historical object.   This   refusal,   however,   remains   obscured   and unacknowledged beneath a fantasy of historicism’s historicity.
Tau functions and the limit of block Toeplitz determinants

description: A classical way to introduce tau functions for integrable hierarchies of solitonic equations is by means of the Sato-Segal-Wilson infinite-dimensional Grassmannian. Every point in the Grassmannian is naturally related to a Riemann-Hilbert problem on the unit circle, for which Bertola proposed a tau function that generalizes the Jimbo-Miwa-Ueno tau function for isomonodromic deformation problems. In this paper, we prove that the Sato-Segal-Wilson tau function and the (generalized) Jimbo-Miwa-Ueno isomonodromy tau function coincide under a very general setting, by identifying each of them to the large-size limit of a block Toeplitz determinant. As an application, we give a new definition of tau function for Drinfeld-Sokolov hierarchies (and their generalizations) by means of infinite-dimensional Grassmannians, and clarify their relation with other tau functions given in the literature.

description: For the past eight months I have been involved in an art pro-ject  in  which  I  take  a  photograph  of  a  moment  that  typifies the  general  feeling  of  my  day.  I  envisioned  this  project  as  a way  to  take  this  ongoing  and  often  ineffable  process  of  typ-ifaction and make it slightly more observable. What this has amounted  to  is  a  very  loose  and  necessarily  imprecise  record of  the  emotional  tone  of  my  life  for  the  past  two  hundred days  or  so.  My  plan  is  to  continue  with  this  project  for  the next two years. An even 730 days. What I hope to achieve is a productive coupling of practical obsession and virtual resig-nation.
Alterity and Life in the Thought of Lingis
Creators: name: Protevi, John
Publisher: name: punctum books
Year: 2014

description: This paper pays homage to Al Lingis’s mastery of key figures in the transcendental, existential, and phenomenological tra-ditions of philosophy. In the works of the 1980s, Phenomeno-logical Explanations and Deathbound Subjectivity among them, Lingis  displayed  a  supreme  control  in  explicating  the  tradi-tion,  preparing  for  the  breakthroughs  that  characterize  the great works written in his own idiom. In particular, we will trace two reductions, enabling us to see  how  Lingis  identifies  three  levels  of  subjectivity.  Begin-ning  with  the  sensibility  inherent  to  intentional  conscious-ness, Lingis performs a “reduction  to  sensuality,”  identifying auto-affective  consciousness.  He  then  performs  a “reduction to   substantiality,”   identifying   the   condition   for   hetero-affective  or  commanded  consciousness.  So,  from  sensibility to  sensuality,  and  from  there  to  commanded  subjection.  Of course  this  is  only  the  order  of  reasons,  if  we  can  put  it  like that,  not  the order  of  being,  in  which  the  imperative  is  pri-mary.
title: Restoring the theocentrism of Descartes' meditations
Creators: name: Mancino, Christina
Publisher: name: Memorial University of Newfoundland
Year: 2024

description: This thesis aims to establish the theocentrism of René Descartes’ Meditations on First Philosophy. The common interpretation of contemporary scholars understands the Meditations as a primarily epistemological text, in which the focus is on the self – or ego. This has perpetuated an image of Cartesian thought as egocentric or individualistic; most significantly, this interpretation has secularized Cartesian thought. This idea of a secular egocentrism has been so widely accepted that even Pope John Paul II, a prominent voice within the Catholic Church – the Church to which Descartes belonged – has criticized Descartes as responsible for inaugurating ‘the great anthropocentric shift’ in Western thought. In this thesis, I will defend Descartes against the misguided claims made by Pope John Paul II and other commentators by returning to the text of the Meditations itself. Through this analysis, it will become evident that the secular egocentric view of the text is unsubstantiated. Furthermore, the metaphysical focus and primacy of God will be brought into focus. Thus, establishing the fundamental theocentrism of the Meditations.
What is an Imperative?

Publisher: name: punctum books

description: Each  morning  we  wake  up  to  an  ongoing  miracle.  Light  is there  for  us  and  it  forms  a  level.  Along  this  level  I  see  the color-contrasts  of  the  Western  mountain  range’s  phospho-resce. Sounds awaken too. They awaken out of the level that is  the  murmur  of  nature  from  which  the  cry  of  hawks,  the whining  of  coyotes  fill  the  air.  And  close  by,  the  harsh  col-ored billboards stick up in the level of the light as the the cars and trucks roll by, hurried and noisy, emerging from the level that  is  sound,  the  sound  of  the  strong  winds  blowing  up  a storm  heading  east  to  the  plains  where  they  meet  the  Gulf moisture, twisting it into tornadoes. These levels, as Alphon-so  Lingis  calls  them, “form  in  a  medium without dimensions or  directions:  the  luminosity  more  vast  than any  panorama that  the  light  outlines  in  it,  the  vibrancy  that  prolongs  itself outside the city and beyond the murmur of nature, the dark-ness more abysmal than the night from which the day dawns and into which it entrusts itself.”
Continental Realism and Computation: Turing's Propaganda
Creators: name: Jackson, Robert
Publisher: name: punctum books
Year: 2014

description: FIRST  off,  I  would  like  the  reader  to  examine  this  computer  function.  This is a rule called Rule 30, discovered and coined by Stephen Wolfram [1].  This  is  a  determined  simple  cellular  automaton  rule,  easily  describ-able (basically, if the top set of pixels, are present, it computes the pixel below line by line and so on). It can be manipulated on a set of black and white tiles by hand without an ordinary computing machine for instance. I’ll return to this later.Although   academic   scholars   are   trained   not   to   generalise,   para-academics  might  afford  themselves  some  informal  naivety.  So  it  is  that  continental  philosophy  –  a  term  originally  coined  by  Analytic  Philosophers to describe a bunch of people who ‘don’t do what they do’ – has had extremely little to say about computer science and the possible reality of computation.
A Seductive Union: Speculative Realism and Contemporary Art
Creators: name: O'Dwyer, Rebecca
Publisher: name: punctum books
Year: 2014

description: AS  someone  who  engages  and  writes  about  art  on  a  consistent  basis,  the  challenge  to  approach  research,  or  even  a  text,  in  the  absence  of  an  object  is  always  a  challenge:  there  is  nothing  to  fall  back  upon  or  anchor  the  work  around.  And  yet,  there  is  often,  too,  an  over-reliance  on the object, as though description alone can redeem the translation of aesthetic experience into language. When writing an account of a work or body of works, whether that be in a review, an artists’ text or academic treatment, the sure sign of ‘bad’ work is to be able only to describe it: the text stops short at an engagement with form. So too the one that relies overly on description, whether by laziness or disinterest: it can never be a good text, or speak to the heart of what it describes. Thus, any effective text must diverge from the object it describes – creating a new object – and at the same time avoid engagement with works that appear to invite only  description.  A  two-fold  negotiation  of  the  object,  then,  is  what  is  needed: objects as not only things to get at, but also things to emphati-cally restrain oneself from. For me this is the whole problem of writing about art: to adhere but also to rebel from the object of study.

This  project  attempted  to  articulate  the  common  or  collaborative  identity  of  community  not  simply  as  a  nominated  socio-political entity but as an affetive moment of unity established through a recognition of difference

Speculative Medievalism: A Précis
Creators: name: Collective, The Petropunk
Publisher: name: punctum books
Year: 2013

description: Speculative  Medievalisms  is  a  collaborative  and  interdiscipli-nary   research   project   focusing   on   the   theorization   and practical development of the speculative dimensions of medi-eval  studies.  The  term “speculative” is  intended  to  resonate with  the  full  range  of  its  medieval  and  modern  meanings. First, speculativeechoes the broad array of specifically medie-val   senses   of speculatio   as   the   essentially   reflective   and imaginative operations of the intellect. According to this conception,  the  world,  books,  and  mind  itself  were  all  conceived as specula  (mirrors)  through  which  the  hermeneutic  gaze could   gain   access   to   what   lies   beyond   them.   As   Giorgio Agamben  explains, “To  know  is  to  bend  over  a  mirror  where the  world  is  reflected,  to  descry  images  reflected  from  sphere to sphere: the medieval man was always before a mirror, both when  he  looked  around  himself  and  when  he  surrendered  to his  own  imagination.”2  This  sense  of  speculative,  which  also gestures  toward  the  humanistic  principle  of  identity  between world-knowledge and self-knowledge, becomes crucial for the development  and  institution  of  medieval  studies  as  a  disci-pline  oriented  to  the  past  as  both  mirror  and  inscrutable  site of  origin.  Like  Narcissus,  who  at  the  fount  falls  in  love  with himself as another, modern Western culture gazes at the Mid-dle  Ages  as  a  self-image  that  impossibly  blurs  the  distinction between  identity  and  alterity.  The  speculative  principle  is  ac-cordingly written into the title of the medieval studies journal, Speculum,  published  by  the  Medieval  Academy  since  1926. Speculum’s  first  editor  E.  K.  Rand  explained  the  aim  of  the journal via this principle in the inaugural issue as follows:
title: The role of dietary vitamin A in mechanisms of cataract development in the teleost lumpfish
Creators: name: Deering, Margret
Publisher: name: Memorial University of Newfoundland
Year: 2025

description: Lumpfish are highly prone to cataract development in the wild and in culture. There is evidence that cataract in farmed fish is related to nutrition. However, both the nutrients and the mechanisms involved in cataract development in lumpfish are not clear. Here, I investigated the mechanisms involved and the role of dietary vitamin A in cataract development in a cultured lumpfish population. Cultured lumpfish were fed three diets differing only in vitamin A supplementation level (5,000, 15,000 and 120,000 IU/kg) over an 18-month period, and fish growth, cataract rates and severities were determined. Western blotting and immunohistochemistry were performed on lens tissue to measure levels of 4-HNE, a marker of oxidative stress, and cleaved caspase-3, a marker of apoptosis. The diet with the lowest concentration of vitamin A reduced cataract rates and severity, and increased weight gain in males. 4- HNE levels in the lens were positively correlated with vitamin A intake. Cleaved caspase-3 was detected at high levels in lenses with severe cataract. 4-HNE and cleaved caspase-3 levels were highest in regions of the lens with severe, advanced cataract pathology when compared to regions with no visible pathology. Results suggest that higher vitamin A intake contributes cataract development through an oxidative stress pathway, and both oxidative stress and apoptosis are involved in advanced stages of cataract in lumpfish.

Atmospheric Research
3rd release

description: This document reports on the 3rd and latest release of the Atmospheric Thematic services and the software underlying each service. This report, NEANIAS deliverable 3.8, comes out right after the third thematic space services release, deliverable D3.7.
 The A1 Service, named “ATMO-FLUD”, (for flux densities) provides a set of algorithms for the calculation of flux densities of Sensible Heat, Latent Heat, Turbulent Kinetic Energy and other scalars like GHGs. The input data to the service is user provided although validation data are available for trial runs. Real data should be experimentally obtained by the user bearing in mind that the fundamental method employed in this service is the “Eddy Covariance”.
 The A2 Service comprises two services: one named “ATMO-STRESS” calculates the trajectories of tectonic stress based on a series of local data of stress and presents them as a map (stress field). The second service, named “ATMO-SEISM”, compares a series of parameters regarding the seismicity of a region and the variation of gas emission in the atmosphere, in order to find possible correlations.
 The A3 Service, named “ATMO-4CAST”, is responsible for Air quality estimation, monitoring and forecasting, providing users with the ability to obtain and visualize meteorological and air quality forecasts based on their own datasets through a central server. This is done by processing the incoming data, passing it through popular models such as WRF-ARW, QTraffic and AUSTAL2000, and processing and creating visualizations based on their outputs.
 For each released service a point-of-access is provided, as well as an interface through which it may interact with other services and a documentation explaining how to use it. Documentation of all NEANIAS space services is organized under NEANIAS docs service.
 Services reported here have gone through the third release round. Almost all services have been integrated to NEANIAS authentication system service, NEANIAS logging, accounting and monitoring systems, documentation workflow, and are provided through the GARR infrastructure and MEEO cloud services. As expected, this third services milestone has the services integrated to NEANIAS core services, have achieved stability in cloud environments and are currently scaling for growing user demands, datasets increment, and output products publication.
Speculative Realism: Interim with Just a Few Caveats
Creators: name: Norris, Christopher
Publisher: name: punctum books
Year: 2013

description: Like a good many others I was greatly impressed when I first read Quentin Meillassoux’s After Fin-itude—at any rate its opening section—and even more so to witness its extraordinary impact among the livelier sections of the continental philosophy community over the next few years.1 What the book clearly marked was a full-scale retreat (for which, read “advance”) from the kinds of far-out anti-re-alist, constructivist, or socio-linguistic-relativist position that had captured the high ground across large swathes of the post-1970 continentally influ-enced humanities, philosophy included. In its place there now emerged a hard-line objectivist realism which defined itself squarely against that whole theoretical-cultural mindset. Moreover it did so with primary reference to just those disputed zones, like epistemology and philosophy of science, where anti-realism had pressed its case with maximum vehemence and rhetorical if not argumentative force.

description: The electronic and magnetic properties of Fe atoms in the ferromagnetic semiconductor (In,Fe)As codoped with Be have been studied by x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) at the Fe $L_{2,3}$ edge. The XAS and XMCD spectra showed simple spectral line shapes similar to Fe metal, but the ratio of the orbital and spin magnetic moments ($M_\mathrm{orb}$/$M_\mathrm{spin}$) estimated using the XMCD sum rules was significantly larger than that of Fe metal, indicating a significant orbital moment of Fe $3d$ electrons in (In,Fe)As:Be. The positive value of $M_\mathrm{orb}$/$M_\mathrm{spin}$ implies that the Fe $3d$ shell is more than half-filled, which arises from the hybridization of the Fe$^{3+}$ ($d^5$) state with the charge-transfer $d^6\underline{L}$ states, where $\underline{L}$ is a ligand hole in the host valence band. The XMCD intensity as a function of magnetic field indicated hysteretic behavior of the superparamagnetic-like component due to discrete ferromagnetic domains.

The Future of an Illusion

description: “Frank Auerbach’s career says little about the ‘art world,’ except that it may not matter much to a real artist’s growth.” So begins what is likely Robert Hughes’ best book on the work of a single artist, with the possible exception of the brilliant if patchy Goya. The sentiment, it seems to me, is equally applicable to the Frankenstein’s monster called speculative realism. Insofar as the various acts of this genre are philosophical, they remain within Plato’s ambit, and must be considered on the same grounds. This means, first (a first patently obvious claim), that whatever the novel new content of philosophy, its form is what it has always been. In other words, to paraphrase a famous sentiment about music, there are still only two types of philosophy: good and bad. That someone nominates themselves as a Platonist, an empiricist, or as engaged in object oriented phi-losophy is of absolutely zero philosophical import. What matters is the philosophical work that they engage in, what they manage to construct and support in this effort. Philosophy is not a game of proper names, despite the profoundly boring role played in the contemporary culture of thought. Patronymy is to philosophy a facsimile of Zarathustra’s ape. Here is one of the key differences between philosophy and psychoanalysis: in the former, the proper name, despite its ubiquity, has no essential significance. Or, to be more precise, the proper name does not function patronymically, but rather to index a problem or problematic conceptual nexus. That beautiful figment in the Foucauldian imaginarium, the “year without a name,”1 is—or at least, should be—the rule for philosophy, an irreducible com-ponent of the philosophical gambit. Philosophy is anonymous a priori, and the proper name operates within it as a mask.
The Meaning of "Existence" and the Contingency of Sense

description: In Western philosophy, the last century was dom-inated by the view that metaphysics and ontology were hopelessly doomed to failure. Many reasons have been given for different versions of this claim, most of them inspired by broadly Kantian epistemo-logical considerations. Kant famously claimed, “the proud name of ontology, which presumes to offer synthetic a priori cognitions of things in general [...] must give way to the more modest title of a transcendental analytic.”2 However, in my view his criticism is only directed against a particular form of ontology and not against ontology as such. What he attacks is the idea of ontology as a synthetic a priori insight into how things generally are, that is, in all possible ways of accessing them. According to his analysis, the range of our judgments is always limited according to certain contingent forms of understanding and sensibility and this finitude cannot be transcended.

Post-Deconstructive Realism: It's About Time
Creators: name: Gratton, Peter
Publisher: name: punctum books
Year: 2013

description: Speculative realism began in part as a reaction for-mation against structuralist and post-structuralist approaches in Continental philosophy. Foucaultian archaeologies, Derridean deconstruction, and Iri-garay’s decentering of patriarchal discourses, for example, are said to focus so thoroughly on texts as to have given up on the real altogether. As Gra-ham Harman puts it, “Derrida and Foucault would rather die than call themselves realists.”1 Locked in the prison house of language, Derrida’s work in particular—Foucault and Irigaray at least could be said to investigate very real regimes of power—was said to be a “textual idealism” that could see nothing beyond any given text. Thus, Harman and Quentin Meillassoux seek means of driving straight past the “linguistic turn” that had side-tracked, they believe, a previous era of philosophers.2 As such, for them, to discuss a “deconstructive” or a “post-deconstruc-tive realism” would be, for them, an oxymoron, or worse, a rear-guard action defending Derrida et al. as realists avant la lettre.3 But my argument is that this is a dodge: at the heart of this speculative work is a pre-modern (not even just pre-Critical) consid-eration of time, where time is epiphenomenal when thought against the eternal (for Meillassoux, the mathematics of set theory; for Harman the objects in themselves “forever in the present”). And until a certain realism of time opens onto their thought, their interventions will be anything but timely.

description: Motivated by the fundamental model of a collisionless plasma, the Vlasov-Maxwell (VM) system, we consider a related, nonlinear system of partial differential equations in one space and one momentum dimension. As little is known regarding the regularity properties of solutions to the non-relativistic version of the (VM) equations, we study a simplified system which also lacks relativistic velocity corrections and prove local-in-time existence and uniqueness of classical solutions to the Cauchy problem. For special choices of initial data, global-in-time existence of these solutions is also shown. Finally, we provide an estimate which, independent of the initial data, yields additional global-in-time regularity of the associated field.

How to Behave Like a Non-Philosopher: Or, Speculative Versus Revisionary Metaphysics
Creators: name: Mullarkey, John
Publisher: name: punctum books
Year: 2013

description: François Laruelle’s message for philosophy is, prima facie, simple: not everything is “philosophisable.”3As soon as we gloss this message a little further, however, things become somewhat more com-plicated: not everything is reducible to “standardphilosophy.” Or, even further, what counts as phi-losophy must mutate in order for some things to be philosophisable at all. The mutation, here, is of both the so-called subject (standard philosophy) and its object (purportedly non-philosophical materials), being both “object-oriented” and “subject-ori-ented” at once within a mutation that re-orients thought-as-an-orientation. As we will see, for Laruelle, this mutation is also a re-direction: thought that was directed from philosophy to the Real reversesto being directed from the Real to philosophy. This short essay will concern itself with the meaning of this re-direction, both in terms of its significance for speculative thought as well as its connection to a type of philosophical behavior (though without any consequent behaviourism—the philosophy that reduces behaviour to one or two over-determined variables, such as “conditioning” or “disposition”). To   précis our two opening epigraphs from Laruelle: in thought, there are only lines, vectors, and, perhaps, re-orientations.

"The Horror of Darkness": Toward an Unhuman Phenomenology
Creators: name: Trigg, Dylan
Publisher: name: punctum books
Year: 2013

description: “Life,” so Gaston Bachelard writes in The Poetics of Space on a note of steadfast optimism, “begins well, it begins enclosed, protected, all warm in the bosom of the house.”1 To the critic, Bachelard’s remarks might be seen as emblematic of a kind of failure in phenomenology to think outside an anthropomor-phised cosmos, in which the endless void of dark space is nothing less than the warm enclosure of the primal breast. To this end, the critic would have a point. After all, it is hard not to agree that much of phenomenology has indeed failed to move beyond the human realm and instead has emphasized the validity of lived experience as the guarantor of truth. We see this tendency of aligning “being” and “world” time and again in phenomenology. Indeed, the focus on the inescapability of the human rela-tion to the world is evident in the very formulation that phenomenology advances as its groundwork: being-in-the-world. With this innocuous phrase, inherited in large from Heidegger by way of Bren-tano, phenomenology commits itself to a view of the subject as being constituted by the world and the world being constituted by the subject. Neither idealism nor realism, phenomenology merges the two via the concept of perceptual intentionality, where we—living subjects—are at all times in a relationship with the world.
Linear-response calculation of the effective Coulomb interaction between closed-shell localized electrons: Cu, Zn, and ZnO

description: A linear-response method to calculate the effective Coulomb interaction ($U$) between closed-shell localized electrons is suggested and applied to the $3d$ closed-shell systems (Cu, Zn, and ZnO) based on plane-wave basis density-functional theory calculations. Since the closed-shell localized states are far below the Fermi level, large local perturbation potential ($α$) projected to the localized states is applied to induce purposeful density response ($Δn$). From the $α$, the perturbation potential cost for density response onset, by which the $Δn$ begins to be induced, is removed. The main screening channel for the effective Coulomb interaction is the itinerant electrons deoccupied from the perturbed localized states. The Cu, Zn, and ZnO $3d$ electron binding energies are calculated based on the local density approximation plus $U$ with the $U$ values calculated from the linear-response, which are found to be in good agreement with experiments.

description: Kur  Platoni  nis  të  mendojë  mundësinë  e  një  qytet-shteti  të  vetëm,  gjesti  i  tij  fillestar  është  emërtimi  i  një  praktike  që  rivalizon  filozofinë  dhe  ambicjen  e  saj:  teatri.  Më  pas,  ai  ndalon  vetë  ekzistencën  e  tij  brenda  republikës:  teatri  joekziston  në  qytetin  e  drejtë.  Tek  libri  i  tij  Elozha  e  teatrit  Alen  Badiu  e  identifikon  rivalitetin  me  teatrin  si  themelor për filozofinë. Që do të thotë se filozofia jo vetëm që pozicionohet në raport me teatrin por se ajo ndërgjegjësohet për identitetin e saj duke përjashtuar teatralen.1Ajo çka është në lojë në këtë rivalitet ka të bëjë pikërisht me aisthēsis – me paraqitjen [presentation] ose shfaqjen [appearing] – e vetë qytet-shtetit. Në përpjekjet e filozofisë për  të  vënë  rregull  midis  shfaqjeve  të  qytet-shtetit,  del  se  është  e  pamundur  të  bëhet  vend për praktikën e teatrit, pikërisht sepse teatri konsiston në një ndërhyrje në këto shfaqje.  Për  Platonin  teatri  është  një  formë  imitimi  i  degraduar.  Aktori  imiton  profe-sionet  e  qytetit,  ai  paraqet  vetëm  pamjen  [appearance]  e  savoir-faire  pa  qenë  në  fakt  i  ankoruar në ndonjë shkëmbim të dobishëm. Kësisoj, si aktori ashtu edhe dramaturgu nuk përfshihen në rregullin e madh të drejtësisë të Platonit: çdo person në vendin dhe detyrën e vet. Kjo është arsyeja pse autorët tragjik përjashtohen nga qyteti.
Një Thirrje Për Të Menduar (Shkatërrimin)

description: Kjo do të thotë të mendosh vetë të menduarit. Kështu pra, të menduarit që duhet men-duar këtu është t’i japim mendim të menduarit, ose më saktë, t’ia kthejmë mendimin të menduarit. Spese është pikërisht këtu, siç ishte gjetkë, në Muzeun Historik Kombëtar në Tiranë, që unë dua ta mendoj këtë gjetkë; një gjetkë deri në pafundësi. Sepse është pikërisht  këtu,  ku  gjithçka  duket  se  ka  arritur  një  tjetër  fund  (filozofia,  historia,  vetë  bota),  këtu,  ku  fundi,  me  sa  duket,  është  bërë  një  qëllim  në  vetvete,  që  nuk  i  gjendet  fundi as edhe universitetit – qoftë kjo “në rrënoja” (siç e quajti Bill Redings librin e tij2), qoftë “në krizë” ose thjesht “akoma duke ardhur.” Këtu, megjithatë, nuk dua të mbetem tek rrënojat e universitetit.3 I shpallur i vdekur prej kohësh, nuk dua të jap edhe një tjetër elozh, sepse është me dhe përems fundit të tij që universiteti rikthehet, dhunshëm, tek rrënjët e tij (= etimologjinë e tij) i të qënit i/një plotë/si “tërësi.” Universiteti, sot, edhe një  here,  bëhet  universal:  universiteti  bëhet,  universiteti  nuk  bën  më.  Këtu  unë  dua  ta thyej dhunshëm këtë rreth vicioz, si të ishte një rreth. Këtu, të paktën njëherë, dhe ndoshta  vetëm  njëherë,  unë  do  të  pretendoj  se  mund  të  dal  jashtë  –  vetëm  njëherë.  Këtu, të kthehemi aty ku u nisëm, unë do të përpiqem të dal jashtë këtyre rrathëve dhe të mendoj rreth të menduarit – sikur kjo të ishte e mundur. Këtu, nëse ma lejoni këtë faux pas metafizik, unë dua të bëj një hap mbrapa, jashtë këtyre të përtejshmeve, dhe të  rishikoj  pyetjen  e  Derridasë:  “Si  mund  të  mos  flasim,  sot,  për  universitetin?”4  Sot,  tridhjetë vjet më vonë, si mund të mos flasim për universitetin, por në vend të kësaj të rihapim thirrjen e Hajdegerit për të menduarit?5 Si mundemi ne, atëherë, sot, të mos flasim për universitetin, por të rimendojmë çështjen e të menduarit?
