description: Ever growing number of image documents available on the Internet continuously motivates research in better annotation models and more efficient retrieval methods. Formal knowledge representation of objects and events in pictures, their interaction as well as context complexity becomes no longer an option for a quality image repository, but a necessity. We present an ontology-based online image annotation tool WNtags and demonstrate its usefulness in several typical multimedia retrieval tasks using International Affective Picture System emotionally annotated image database. WNtags is built around WordNet lexical ontology but considers Suggested Upper Merged Ontology as the preferred labeling formalism. WNtags uses sets of weighted WordNet synsets as high-level image semantic descriptors and query matching is performed with word stemming and node distance metrics. We also elaborate our near future plans to expand image content description with induced affect as in stimuli for research of human emotion and attention.

description: Myosorex cafer (Sundevall, 1846). Ofv. Kongl. Svenska Vet.-Akad. Forhandl. Stockholm, 3:119. TYPE LOCALITY: South Africa, "E Caffraria interiore et Port-Natal". DISTRIBUTION: South Africa, eastern escarpment and north to the Transvaal; extreme W Mozambique and E Zimbabwe, in higher elevations above 1,000 m. SYNONYMS: swinnyi. COMMENTS: Meester (1958) described the geographic variation of the species. Heim de Balsac and Meester (1977) included affinis, sclateri, swinnyi, talpinus and tenuis in cafer, while Wolhuter (in Smithers, 1983:3) and Dippenaar et al. (1983) regarded sclateri and tenuis as distinct, partly based on new karyotype information. Although no additonal data have yet been published, this view is provisionally accepted here as it better reflects existing variation within the southern African representatives of the genus.

The Design and Validation of a Rhythm Span Task
Creators: name: Hofschulte Collins, Elizabeth
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2017

description: The purpose of this study was to design and validate a rhythm span task. Existing rhythm span tasks do not address important elements of rhythm and music such as tempo (speed), length (duration in beats per minute), and complexity (level of syncopation). This rhythm span task includes every combination of these criteria. The rhythmic sequences were presented with a piano sound from computer audio speakers. To align with traditional simple span tasks, the rhythm span task required participants to reproduce the rhythmic sequence. Results from this study showed that length was a significant factor for difficulty. Short rhythms were found to be mostly easy to reproduce while medium and longer length rhythms were more difficult to reproduce. The results also showed that number of musical elements, or tones, in rhythms increased as difficulty increased. Using the results from this study, a complete rhythm span task has been sequenced according to difficulty.

description: Questo saggio non ha la pretesa di fornire una chiave di lettura esaustiva di un fenomeno complesso come l’epidemia da Covid-Sars 19, ma vuole contribuire ad una riflessione su come la convivenza con il virus abbia modificato il modo di percepire noi stessi e gli altri. Credere che gli esseri umani siano immuni ai cambiamenti di questi mesi è una stupidaggine, aggravata dal fatto che viviamo inseriti nel mito dell’individuo bastevole a se stesso. Più la malattia ed il dolore vengono rimossi dalla coscienza collettiva, meno le persone saranno in grado di affrontare situazioni in cui lo schema delle abitudini venga stravolto. La negazione della fragilità ci porta a sopravvalutare noi stessi, aprendo così la porta ad una perdita della capacità di resistere alle pressioni esterne. Per muoversi in questo labirinto di paure, stereotipi e speranze, si è deciso di utilizzare Massa e Potere di Elias Canetti, un’opera che procede per sottrazioni: dalla massa sino alla dissoluzione del potente, tutto è finalizzato a vivisezionare l’umano mettendone in luce le caratteristiche mimetiche ed il legame inscindibile con la natura. This essay does not pretend to provide an exhaustive interpretation of a complex phenomenon such as the Covid-Sars 19 epidemic, but it does want to contribute to a reflection on how living with the virus has changed the way we perceive ourselves and others. To believe that human beings are immune to the changes of these months is nonsense, compounded by the fact that we live in the myth of the self-sufficient individual. The more illness and pain are removed from the collective consciousness, the less people will be able to cope with situations in which the pattern of habits is disrupted. The denial of fragility leads us to overestimate ourselves, thus opening the door to a loss of the ability to resist external pressures. In order to move through this labyrinth of fears, stereotypes and hopes, it was decided to use Elias Canetti’s Mass and Power, a work that proceeds by subtraction: from the mass to the dissolution of the powerful, everything is aimed at vivisecting the human being, highlighting its mimetic characteristics and inseparable bond with nature.

description: We observed 5 gamma-ray loud blazars at redshift greater than 2 with the X-Ray Telescope (XRT) and the UltraViolet and Optical Telescope (UVOT) onboard the Swift satellite, and the Gamma-Ray burst Optical Near-Infrared Detector (GROND) instrument. These observations were quasi simultaneous, usually within a few hours. For 4 of these blazars the near-IR to UV data show the presence of an accretion disc, and we could reliably estimate its accretion rate and black hole mass. One of them, PKS 1348+007, was found in an extraordinarily high IR-optical state, almost two orders of magnitude brighter than at the epoch of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey observations. For all the 5 quasars the physical parameters of the jet emitting zone, derived by applying a one-zone emission model, are similar to that found for the bulk of other gamma-ray loud quasars. With our observations we have X-ray data for the full sample of blazars at z>2 present in the Fermi 2-yrs (2LAC) catalog. This allows to have a rather complete view of the spectral energy distribution of all high-redshift Fermi blazars, and to draw some conclusions about their properties, and especially about the relation between the accretion rate and the jet power.

description: Secondo Michel Foucault, la filosofia moderna si divide in due tradizioni critiche opposte: l’analitica della verità e l’ontologia del presente. Questo articolo vuole dimostrare che è possibile una convergenza tra queste diverse prospettive. Questa ipotesi sarà sviluppata esaminando l'ontologia dell'essere sociale di György Lukács e la semiotica dell'ideologia di Ferruccio Rossi-Landi. Partendo dall’analisi foucaultiana del rapporto tra “ontologia del presente” e “analitica della verità”, la parte finale dell’articolo si sofferma sulle operazioni semiotiche poste in essere dal discorso ideologico razzista nella narrazione dell’andamento della pandemia di COVID-19 in Africa. Una critica del presente pandemico può essere condotta solo da un approccio teorico che abbracci entrambe le tradizioni individuate da Foucault. According to Michel Foucault, the modern philosophy is divided in two opposite critical traditions: the analytic of truth and the ontology of the present. This paper aims to demonstrate that a convergence between these different philosophical perspectives is possible. This hypothesis will be developed by examining György Lukács’ ontology of social being and Ferruccio Rossi- Landi’s semiotics of ideology. Starting from the Foucauldian analysis of the relationship between “ontology of the present” and “analytics of truth”, the final part of the article analyse the semiotic operations structured by the racist ideological discourse in the narration of the COVID-19 pandemic in Africa A critique of the pandemic present can be given only by a theoretical approach which embraces both the traditions identified by Foucault.

description: La crisi pandemica, nella sua sconvolgente imprevedibilità, non ha solo modificato il ritmo della nostra vita e di gran parte delle attività umane, ma ha anche condizionato e sollecitato l’attività filosofica e quella, più specifica, di carattere estetico. È progressivamente cresciuta l’esigenza di riflettere filosoficamente sui vari aspetti della crisi, sulle sue implicazioni, ma anche sull’opportunità che essa può rappresentare. In quest’articolo concentrerò l’attenzione a) sul ruolo che la filosofia può avere nella contemporaneità, come strumento di lettura e d’analisi del reale, e b) sulla centralità della dimensione estetica nella prassi quotidiana, necessariamente condizionata dalle restrizioni legate al contenimento della pandemia. The coronavirus pandemic, in its shocking unpredictability, has not only changed the rhythm of our lives and affected most human activities, but has also conditioned and stimulated philosophical and, more specifically, aesthetic activity. There is a growing need to reflect philosophically on the various aspects of the crisis, its implications, but also the opportunity it may represent. In this paper, I will focus on a) the role that philosophy can play in the contemporary world, as a means of reading and analysing reality, and b) the centrality of the aesthetic dimension in everyday practice, necessarily conditioned by the restrictions tied to the control of the pandemic.

Attitudes, Attachment Styles, and Gender: Implications on Perceptions of Infidelity
Creators: name: Stewart, Christian M.
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2017

description: Understanding the impact infidelity has on individuals, couples, families, and societies has increasingly become a topic of interest over the last few decades. In recent years, scholars have sought to increase understanding of infidelity through investigating the relationship between infidelity and attachment theory. This research study examines the impact attitudes about infidelity, attachment styles, and gender have on the way in which individuals perceive infidelity. Data was gathered from 310 participants recruited from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas and social media. Participants were 18 years of age and older and were, at the time of the study, either in a committed romantic relationship or had previously been in one. Results from a multiple linear regression, using stepwise selection, indicate that permissive sexual attitudes significantly predict permissive perceptions of infidelity. Results also indicated that anxious attachment significantly predicted less permissive perceptions of infidelity. These results provide marriage and family therapists with insight into important factors to attend to when treating infidelity.

description: Glass transition where viscosity of liquids increases dramatically upon decrease of temperature without any major change in structural properties, remains one of the most challenging problems in condensed matter physics (Cavagna, 2009; Berthier and Biroli, 2011) in spite of tremendous research efforts in last decades. On the other hand disordered freezing of spins in a magnetic materials with decreasing temperature, the so-called spin glass transition, is relatively better understood (Mezard, Parisi and Virasoro, 1987; Castellani and Cavagna, 2005). Previously found similarity between some spin glass models with the structural glasses (Kirkpatrick and Thirumalai, 1987; Kirkpatrick and Wolynes, 1987; Kirkpatrick and Wolynes, 1987; Franz and Parisi, 1999; Moore and Drossel, 2002) inspired development of theories of structural glasses (Kirkpatrick, Thirumalai and Wolynes, 1989; Barrat, Franz and Parisi, 1997; Mézard and Parisi, 1999; Lubchenko and Wolynes, 2007; Biroli and Bouchaud, 2012) based on the scenario of spin glass transition. This scenario though looks very appealing is still far from being well established. One of the main differences between standard spin systems to molecular systems is the absence of quenched disorder and the presence of translational invariance: it often assumed that this difference is not relevant, but this conjecture is still far from being established. The quantities, which are well defined and characterized for spin models, are not easily calculable for molecular glasses due to the lack of quenched disorder which breaks the translational invariance in the system and the characterization of the similarity between the spin and the structural glass transition remained an elusive subject still now. In this study we introduced a model structural glass with built in quenched disorder which alleviates this main difference between the spin and molecular glasses thereby helping us to compare these two systems: the possibility of producing a good thermalization at rather low temperatures is one of the advantages of this model.

description: We study theoretically the recently proposed hole spin initialization scheme for $p$-doped quantum well or dot systems via coupling to trion states with sub-picosecond circularly polarized laser pulses. We analyze the efficiency of spin initialization an predict the intrinsic spin coherence loss due to the pulse excitation itself as well as the phonon-induced spin dephasing, both taking place on the timescale of the driving laser pulse. We show that the ratio of the degree of dephasing to the achieved orientation effect does not depend on the pulse area but is sensitive to the temperature and detuning. The optimal excitation parameters are identified.

Isolation and Characterization of Paenibacillus larvae Bacteriophages for Use as a Treatment of American Foulbrood Disease in Honeybees
Creators: name: Yost, Diane Gerda
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2014

description: American foulbrood disease is a destructive honeybee illness cause by the bacterial pathogen, Paenibacillus larvae. Current methods of treatment are either destructive or do not completely eradicate the infection, and as such, undertaking further research to determine the effectiveness of alternate treatment methods is of consequence.
The therapeutic use of bacteriophage that are capable of lysing host bacterial cells, or phage therapy, is one such potential treatment. Phage are viruses that infect bacteria, and are generally very host-specific. As such, targeting a pathogen would require obtaining phage specific for P. larvae. Therefore, obtaining P. larvae phage requires screening environmental samples likely to have phage capable of infecting P. larvae, enriching samples with P. larvae, isolating any phage present, and characterizing the phage. After host range characterization, the phage with the broadest host ranges of P. larvae strains but inability to target other species of bacteria would be selected for use in a multi-phage cocktail. This cocktail would be used in experimental treatments to determine the effectiveness of phage therapy in increasing survival of honeybee larvae infected with P. larvae and eradication of AFB in an infected honeybee hive.

Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (cs.CV)

description: A variety of new and powerful algorithms have been developed for image compression over the years. Among them the wavelet-based image compression schemes have gained much popularity due to their overlapping nature which reduces the blocking artifacts that are common phenomena in JPEG compression and multiresolution character which leads to superior energy compaction with high quality reconstructed images. This paper provides a detailed survey on some of the popular wavelet coding techniques such as the Embedded Zerotree Wavelet (EZW) coding, Set Partitioning in Hierarchical Tree (SPIHT) coding, the Set Partitioned Embedded Block (SPECK) Coder, and the Embedded Block Coding with Optimized Truncation (EBCOT) algorithm. Other wavelet-based coding techniques like the Wavelet Difference Reduction (WDR) and the Adaptive Scanned Wavelet Difference Reduction (ASWDR) algorithms, the Space Frequency Quantization (SFQ) algorithm, the Embedded Predictive Wavelet Image Coder (EPWIC), Compression with Reversible Embedded Wavelet (CREW), the Stack-Run (SR) coding and the recent Geometric Wavelet (GW) coding are also discussed. Based on the review, recommendations and discussions are presented for algorithm development and implementation.

The Role of Self-Concept in Consumer Behavior
Creators: name: Toth, Marisa
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2014

description: Understanding the influences underlying consumption has become an increasingly important goal for marketers. This study examined the role of self-concept in consumer behavior, specifically product evaluation. The influences of various dimensions of the self-concept are examined in regard to four product dimensions: public luxury, public necessity, private luxury, and private necessity. Differences due to variations in individual levels of self-monitoring are also measured. Overall, results showed that the more conspicuous a product is (higher on luxury/public dimensions) the greater the relationship between evaluation and ideal self-images (ideal self and ideal social self) for both high and low self-monitors.
VERITAS Observations of the Crab Pulsar

description: The Crab pulsar has been widely studied across the electromagnetic spectrum from radio to gamma-ray energies. The exact nature of the emission processes taking place in the pulsar is a matter of broad debate. Above a few GeV the energy spectrum turns over suddenly. The shape of this cutoff can provide unique insight in to the particle acceleration processes taking place in the pulsar magnetosphere. Here we discuss the detection of pulsed gamma-rays from the Crab Pulsar above 100 GeV with the VERITAS telescopes in the context of measurements made with the Fermi space telescope below 10 GeV. Limits on the level of flux enhancement of emission correlated with giant radio pulses and dispersion due to Lorentz invariance violation effects will also be presented.

description: Il presente lavoro si prefigge di rivisitare, dal punto di vista della semiotica, la categoria dello spazio nel contesto dell’attuale crisi sanitaria globale. La pandemia COVID-19 ha cambiato radicalmente il modo in cui l’umanità si relaziona allo spazio. L’organizzazione dell’ambiente materiale come mezzo di controllo sociale è evidente nelle misure di emergenza imposte da molti governi europei. Di conseguenza, gli spazi pubblici, sociali e privati sono stati rimodellati e hanno subito trasformazioni senza precedenti. Come conseguenza dell’impatto della pandemia sull’uso dello spazio sta emergendo una nuova comprensione del significato sociale dello spazio, che chiameremo “neo-prossemica”. Mentre la prossemica sin dai suoi albori all’inizio negli anni 50 e 60 si è occupata del significato dello spazio e delle distanze tra gli esseri umani in diverse culture, la “neo-prossemica” ha bisogno di interpretare le trasformazioni nell'uso dello spazio durante l’attale periodo di crisi sanitaria durante il XXI secolo. This paper revisits, from the perspective of semiotics, the category of space in the context of the current global health crisis. The COVID-19 pandemic has radically altered the way in which humankind relates to space. The organization of the material environment as a means of social control is apparent in the emergency measures imposed by many European governments. As a consequence of this, public, social, and private spaces have been reshaped and have undergone unheard of transformations. This study argues for a new understanding of spacewhich I term as ‘neo-proxemics’that is resurfacing as a result of the impact of the pandemic on the social significance of space. Whilst ‘proxemics’ from its inception in the 1950s and 1960s dealt with the meaning of space and distances between men cross-culturally, ‘neoproxemics’ needs to attend to the transformations in the use of space in the current time of health crisis of the 21st century.

Stride Length-Speed Relationship During Body Weight Supported Running
Creators: name: Chona, Carmen
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2014

description: The purpose of this study was to determine if body weight support influences the stride length-speed relationship. Additionally, the purpose was to determine if impact characteristics of running are influenced by body weight support and speed. Subjects (n=10; 6 female, 4 male) volunteered to participate in this study. All subjects were injury free and were comfortable running on a treadmill for 30 minutes. Subjects ran on a lower body positive (LBPP, Alter-G, G-Trainer) treadmill for 4 conditions of body weight (100, 40, 30 and 20% of body weight) and 4 running speeds (100, 110, 120 and 130% of the preferred speed). Subjects ran at each trial for 1 minute. Leg acceleration and stride length were recorded using an accelerometer mounted on the distal anterior-medial aspect of the tibia. Dependent variables (stride length, leg impact acceleration) were compared using 4 (speed) × 4 (body weight) repeated measures ANOVAs. It was determined that stride length was influenced by speed (p0.05). Leg impact acceleration was influenced by the interaction of speed and body weight (p

description: La pandemia di COVID-19 sta influenzando le società contemporanee in modi complessi ed eterogenee. Questo lavoro si focalizza sull’economia, analizzando le trasformazioni causate dalla crisi pandemica nei discorsi degli esperti economici europei. Il contributo prende le mosse dalla teoria foucaultiana del dispositivo e distingue quattro livelli attraverso i quali il neoliberismo – sfruttando il sistema UE – ha influenzato le società europee negli ultimi decenni: mondo economico, istituzioni, policy network e discorsi . L’interazione tra i quattro livelli sarà analizzata e discussa a partire dall’analisi empirica del livello discorsivo. Prendendo come casi di studio i Country Report del Semestre Europeo 2020 e le Raccomandazioni UE sull’Italia, verranno individuate tre caratteristiche del discorso neoliberista dell’UE: temporalità discorsiva, autorità discorsiva ed ethos discorsivo. L’analisi discorsiva comparata di due documenti pubblicati tra i mesi di marzo e maggio 2020 mostrerà come lo shock esogeno causato dal Corona Virus abbia drasticamente cambiato il discorso degli esperti economici neoliberisti dell’UE. L’articolo prospetta la nascita di una “nuova normalità” nella sfera politica e politico-economica; un “nuova normalità” che potrebbe influenzare le prospettive future dei Paesi europei. The COVID-19 pandemic is influencing contemporary societies in complex and multiple ways. This paper focuses on the economy via an analysis of the transformations of European economic expert discourses brought about by the corona crisis in 2020. The contribution starts form Foucault’s theory of dispositif and distinguishes four levels on which neoliberalism was influencing European societies via the EU system in the last decades: the world economy, institutions, policy networks and discourses. While focussing empirically on the discursive level, the interplay of all four levels is discussed and investigated. Taking the example of the European Semester 2020 “Country Reports” and “EU Recommendations” on Italy as case study, three features of these documents characterising EU neoliberal discourse are elaborated: discursive temporality, discursive authority and discursive ethos. A comparative discourse analysis of two documents published between March 2020 and May 2020 shows that corona as external shock has changed EU neoliberal economic expert discourse dramatically. The paper argues that a post-neoliberal “new normality” in the realm of economic policy and politics is emerging that could influence the future outlook of European societies.

Immaginario politico e pandemia: tra comprensione e narrazione

description: Questo articolo si concentra sulla crisi pandemica da COVID-19 che ha investito il mondo, offrendo alcune riflessioni iniziali in prospettiva linguistica e di immaginario politico. Muovendo dall’uso ricorrente di metafore di guerra nei discorsi politici e nei media, la prima parte mette in dubbio l’efficacia politica di questa cornice simbolica militaresca per un virus, a partire dall’origine sessuata ed escludente di questo immaginario. Nella seconda parte, la riflessione sul linguaggio e l’immaginario pandemico si interroga sulla difficoltà di comprendere l’originalità di un fenomeno che non sembra avere precedenti immediati nel mondo contemporaneo, trascendendo l’urgenza statistica e l’analisi dei dati. Un terreno, quello della comprensione, che richiederà tempo e distanza, ma che può essere preparato ripensando il tessuto narrativo delle vite, soprattutto di quelle scomparse, attraverso il valore collettivo e simbolico dei riti e delle storie che esse tramandano. Questo valore è ancor più significativo in un’epoca in cui auto-ottimizzazione e accelerazione hanno rimosso molti dei limiti della vita. This paper focuses on the COVID-19 pandemic crisis that has affected the world, offering first reflections from the perspective of linguistics and the political imaginary. Starting from the frequent use of war metaphors in political speeches and the media, the first part of the questions raised concerns about the political effectiveness of this symbolic military framework regarding a virus, highlighting the sexuate and exclusive origin of this imaginary. In the second part, the reflection on pandemic language and imaginary questions the difficulty of understanding the originality of a phenomenon that has no immediate precedent in the contemporary world, transcending statistical urgency and data analysis. A ground for understanding will require time and distance, but it can be prepared by rethinking the narrative texture of lives, especially those that have disappeared, through the collective and symbolic value of the rites and stories they hand down. This value is even more significant in an era in which self-optimisation and acceleration have removed many limits on life.

Validation and Reliability of the Hexoskin and FitBit Flex Wearable BIO Collection Devices
Creators: name: Montes, Jeffrey
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2015

description: The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the Hexoskin shirt and the wrist worn Fitbit Flex activity monitor were both valid and reliable for the physiological functions they were designed to monitor. Heart rate (beats·min-1), respiratory rate (breaths·min-1), step count, and energy expenditure results were collected for the Hexoskin. Step count and energy expenditure were collected for the Fitbit Flex. 49 adolescent participants performed a walking treadmill protocol at 1.5 mph, 2.5 mph, and 3.5 mph for 3 minutes at each speed. 46 subjects returned to perform the same protocol a second time. 31 of the participants were used to determine reliability. Each trial required the participants to walk while wearing a Hexoskin shirt, a Fitbit Flex on their right wrist, a Polar T-31 heart rate monitor, and to be monitored by an Applied Electrochemistry Moxus Metabolic System.
Hexoskin heart rate correlation was inconsistent between the two protocols with some minutes/stages being highly related in one protocol and not in the other. A number of stages showed significant differences in the mean values. Interclass correlation was acceptable for half of the measurements compared
Hexoskin respiration rate values were highly correlated for the every minute of the first two stages (1.5 mph and 2.5 mph) but showed variations between protocols in the final (3.5 mph). All but one minute's heart rate value was significantly underestimated. All stages exhibited high interclass correlation scores.
Hexoskin energy expenditure had no stages that were correlated. However, all stages showed no significant differences though the Hexoskin did slightly overestimated caloric count values. The interclass correlation was acceptable for all stages
Fitbit Flex energy expenditure was not acceptably correlated for any stage, the values were significantly higher than the MOUXS calculated values, and no stage could be considered acceptable for interclass correlation purposes.
Hexoskin step count was highly related only at the 3.5 mph stage. The 1.5 mph and 2.5 mph stages were not correlated and also significantly underestimated the steps taken. Only the 3.5 mph walk could be accepted as reliable.
Fitbit flex step count was not correlated for any stage, the values were significantly lower than the observed count, and no stage could be considered acceptable for interclass correlation.
Overall, the Hexoskin and Fitbit Flex do not appear to be acceptable tools for research purposes.

Lo spirito della democrazia. L’analisi di Jean-Luc Nancy a partire dalla crisi pandemica

description: Jean-Luc Nancy è intervenuto diverse volte nel dibattito innescato dalla crisi pandemica cercando di proporre una lettura produttiva di questo evento. Non si tratta di “capitalizzare” questa tragedia; al contrario, la chance che tale esperienza ci consente è proprio quella di smontare la logica del calcolo e dell’accumulo che, avendo implementato l’ideologia del progresso illimitato, ha saturato il mondo fino a renderlo invivibile. Avendo messo in panne la megamacchina tecno-economica, il virus ci consente di riappropriarci della nostra esistenza. Questa riappropriazione passa, però, per una eteronomia, ovvero per un rapporto a ciò che, in noi, resta inappropriabile, non commensurabile, estraneità radicale. Il saggio prova a mostrare i tratti salienti dell’ontologia nancyana in cui si radica questa lettura dell’emergenza. In particolare si mostrerà come, in questo pensiero, la democrazia compaia non come regime politico, ma come un atto di fede radicalmente laico. Jean-Luc Nancy has often contributed to the debate sparked by the pandemic crisis, trying to propose a productive interpretation of this event. It’s not about “capitalizing” on the tragedy; on the contrary, the chance that this experience opens before us is that of dismantling the logic of calculation and accumulation that, having implemented the ideology of unlimited progress, has saturated the world to the point of making it unlivable. Causing the breakdown of the techno-economic megamachine, the virus allows us to reclaim our own existence. This reclamation however goes through a heteronomy, that is a relation to what, inside of us, stays inappropriable, not commensurable, a radical extraneousness. The essay attempts to show the salient points of Nancy's ontology in which this interpretation of the emergency is radicated. Particularly, it will elaborate on how, in Nancy’s thought, democracy does not feature as a political regime, but as a radically secular act of faith.

description: This thesis explores the orientational power of language through a collection of poetry grounded in themes of place, landscape, and desire. Language organizes the raw material of existence into the humanizing possibilities of experience and connection. It interrogates, examines, exalts, orders and reorders continually. Much like a physical landscape, it is constantly shifting under various pressures, which operate at variable speeds. By working and reworking themes and images, these poems explore the twin processes of erosion and deposition.
The materials found in these poems are largely drawn from my own memory, perception, loss, and desire. I mean to use language to both represent experience, and dismantle and reconstitute it, which will necessarily occur in the process of representation. There is a tension, as in life, between past and present as one slips inexorably into the other and is then remade in memory.
The thesis is organized around the cardinal directions to indicate that the poems constitute both a world and a map to that world. They are grounded in the physical features and natural processes of the earth, the changing of the seasons, and the weather, all of which are indifferent to our perceptions and yet form some of the foundational metaphors of human experience.
