Journal of Badiou Studies 3: On Ethics
Journal of Badiou Studies (General Editors: Michael J. Kelly and Arthur James Rose) is a multilingual, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to the philosophy and thought of, and surrounding, the philosopher, playwright, novelist, and poet Alain Badiou. Badiou Studies is dedicated to original, critical and challenging arguments that directly engage with the conditions and circumstances of Badiou's thought. We aim to identify pertinent intellectual discourses, ideas, historiographies, and concepts, and seek articles that situate these theories within emerging events in politics, science, art and love. Badiou Studies is especially concerned with maintaining a fidelity to Badiou's thinking without co...
Epistemology and Political Philosophy in Gilbert Simondon
This combination of historiography and theory offers the growing Anglophone readership interested in the ideas of Gilbert Simondon a thorough and unprecedented survey of the French philosopher’s entire oeuvre. The publication, which breaks new ground in its thoroughness and breadth of analysis, systematically traces the interconnections between Simondon’s philosophy of science and technology on the one hand, and his political philosophy on the other. The author sets Simondon’s ideas in the context of the epistemology of the late 1950s and the 1960s in France, the milieu that shaped a generation of key French thinkers such as Deleuze, Foucault and Derrida. This volume explores Simondon...
La necessità dell’altro
L’usanza di onorare il lavoro e l’esempio di un maestro che, pur cessando la posizione di ruolo nel contesto universitario, prosegue il proprio itinerario di studio e di insegnamento in altre forme ha una lunga storia in ambito accademico e non necessiterebbe di frasi altisonanti per essere motivata e ritenuta pienamente giustificata. Al tempo stesso, il tipo di magistero che nel corso di quasi cinquant’anni è stato promosso e realizzato in concreto da Adone Brandalise, insieme al tipo di rapporto intellettuale, creativo ed emotivo prodottosi con allievi e colleghi, rende questa occasione molto più di un semplice omaggio. Stando entro il linguaggio, si tratta di andare oltre il linguaggio, di aprire a un’esperienza che non è soltanto linguistica: si tocca – anche se solo provvisoriamente – il fondo senza fondo del reale e si incontra un certo tipo di sapere, indefinibile e sfuggente, che non liquida il proprio oggetto riducendolo a un saputo, ma mostra e permette di toccare una quota di felicità autentica, una pienezza d’essere che permette di diventare davvero soggetti.
Ethics
Ethical questions dominate current political and academic agendas. While government think-tanks ponder the dilemmas of bio-ethics, medical ethics and professional ethics, respect for human rights and reverence for the Other have become matters of broad consensus. Alain Badiou, one of the most powerful voices in contemporary French philosophy, explodes the facile assumptions behind this recent ethical turn. He shows how our prevailing ethical principles serve ultimately to reinforce an ideology of the status quo, and fail to provide a framework for an effective understanding of the concept of evil. In contrast, Badiou summons up an "ethic of truths" which is designed both to sustain and inspire a disciplined, subjective adherence to a militant cause (be it political or scientific, artistic or romantic), and to discern a finely demarcated zone of application for the concept of evil. He defends an effectively super-human integrity over the respect for merely human rights, asserts a partisan universality over the negotiation of merely particular interests, and appeals to an "immortal" value beyond the protection of mortal privileges.
Metodi della singolarità
La massima goethiana in cui la teoria viene fatta coincidere con i fenomeni stessi rappresenta una delle migliori assunzioni di un’esperienza che si propone continuamente al lettore non totalmente consegnato a precostituiti protocolli interpretativi: quella in cui il gesto essenziale di una scrittura la solleva dalla condizione di oggetto per farla divenire evento che mette radicalmente in questione le categorie di chi la interroga. Scarto questo in cui invenzione poetica, esercizio critico e speculazione filosofica lasciano trasparire una fibra omogenea, pur declinata in vario modo, di cui è possibile cogliere la portata quando tra esse si sviluppa un’interazione vissuta come necessaria. L’ascolto dei testi letterari, il prolungarsi della loro voce nel discorso critico, le risposte del pensiero alle evidenze con le quali poesia e arte non cessano di provocarlo, possono combinarsi nell’allestire lo spazio di un lavoro affine per natura e destino ai freudiani “compiti impossibili”.
Remote Sensing in Applied Geophysics
The Special Issue is focused on recent and upcoming advances in the combined application of remote sensing and applied geophysics. Applied geophysics analyzes the distribution of physical properties in the subsurface for a wide range of geological, engineering, and environmental applications at different scales. Seismic, electrical, magnetic, and electromagnetic methods are among the most applied and well-established geophysical techniques. These methods share the advantages of being non-invasive and exploring wide areas of investigation with respect to conventional methods (e.g., drilling). Geophysical surveys are usually carried out deploying or moving the appropriate instrumentation direc...
Psicología trabajo e individuación
En esta investigación se sostiene que el trabajo es entorno de individuación psíquica y colectiva, en la medida en que permite, potencia y despliega la individuación psíquica, siempre en vínculo con otros (transindividuación). Se muestra la pertinencia de mantener vigente la teoría de la individuación en la psicología y en los estudios críticos de las organizaciones y del trabajo, en particular al ahondar en la dimensión transindividual, desde la cual se exploran implicaciones éticas y políticas del pensamiento de Gilbert Simondon (filósofo francés, 1924-1989), en un contexto local, actual.
Cinema
For Alain Badiou, films think, and it is the task of the philosopher to transcribe that thinking. What is the subject to which the film gives expressive form? This is the question that lies at the heart of Badiou’s account of cinema. He contends that cinema is an art form that bears witness to the Other and renders human presence visible, thus testifying to the universal value of human existence and human freedom. Through the experience of viewing, the movement of thought that constitutes the film is passed on to the viewer, who thereby encounters an aspect of the world and its exaltation and vitality as well as its difficulty and complexity. Cinema is an impure art cannibalizing its times, the other arts, and people – a major art precisely because it is the locus of the indiscernibility between art and non-art. It is this, argues Badiou, that makes cinema the social and political art par excellence, the best indicator of our civilization, in the way that Greek tragedy, the coming-of-age novel and the operetta were in their respective eras.

Family Interventions in Domestic Violence
In this exciting new book John Hamel, author of the ground-breaking Gender-Inclusive Treatment of Intimate Partner Abuse, and Tonia Nicholls go beyond the traditional intervention theories of domestic violence practiced today. Offering alternative, unbiased and sometimes controversial views, theories, and current research, they, along with renowned contributors in the field, provide new treatment options that encompass a wide range of gender dynamics. Here are just some of the key principles covered: Interventions Should Be Based on a Thorough Unbiased Assessment Victim/Perpetrator Distinctions are Overstated, and Much Partner Abuse is Mutual Regardless of Perpetrator Gender, Child Witnesses to Partner Abuse are Adversely Affected, and are at Risk for Perpetrating Partner Abuse as Adults This new gender-inclusive approach to assessment and intervention provides a significant departure from traditional paradigms of domestic violence, and offers a much-needed awareness to effectively prevent violence in our communities today and for future generations.
