Questo testo pone all'attenzione l'approccio di genere verso le tecnologie. Offre spunti, competenze e esperienze vere per nuovi modelli di società, di produzione, di rapporti. Contributi tutti al femminile: rappresentano analisi e testimonianze di donne che sono protagoniste, come studiose o professioniste, della Rete e dell'ICT. Ognuna, con il proprio contributo, a dire che anche nel mondo della Rete (che si pretende innovativo per definizione) il simbolico è e rimane quello "tradizionale" (maschile), solo apparentemente neutro.
Networks of Design maps a new methodological territory in design studies, conceived as a field of interdisciplinary inquiry and practice informed by a range of responses to actor network theory. It brings together a rich body of current work by researchers in the social sciences, technology, material culture, cultural geography, information technology, and systems design, and design theory and history. This collection will be invaluable to students and researchers in many areas of design studies and to design practitioners receptive to new and challenging notions of what constitutes the design process. Over ninety essays are thematically organised to address five aspects of the expanded noti...
The book deals with engineering aspects of the two emerging and intertwined fields of synthetic and systems biology. Both fields hold promise to revolutionize the way molecular biology research is done, the way today’s drug discovery works and the way bio-engineering is done. Both fields stress the importance of building and characterizing small bio-molecular networks in order to synthesize incrementally and understand large complex networks inside living cells. Reminiscent of computer-aided design (CAD) of electronic circuits, abstraction is believed to be the key concept to achieve this goal. It allows hiding the overwhelming complexity of cellular processes by encapsulating network parts into abstract modules. This book provides a unique perspective on how concepts and methods from CAD of electronic circuits can be leveraged to overcome complexity barrier perceived in synthetic and systems biology.
The volume contains a collection of research articles by leading experts in group theory, and reports of several accessible surveys of recent research in the area. The compilation provide an overview of the diversity of themes and applications that interest today's group theorists. The topics covered in this volume include: character theory, combinatorial group theory, varieties of groups, conjugacy classes, profinite groups, graphs connected with groups, subgroup structure, representation theory.
The chapters in this volume explore the relationship between music and art in Italy across the long sixteenth century, considering an era when music-making was both a subject of Italian painting and a central metaphor in treatises on the arts. Beginning in the fifteenth century, transformations emerge in the depiction of music within visual arts, the conceptualization of music in ethics and poetics, and in the practice of musical harmony. This book brings together contributors from across musicology and art history to consider the trajectories of these changes and the connections between them, both in theory and in the practices of everyday life. In sixteen chapters, the contributors blend i...

Antonio Giangrande, orgoglioso di essere diverso. ODIO OSTENTAZIONE, IMPOSIZIONE E MENZOGNA. Nella vita di ognuno due cose sono certe: la vita e la morte. Si nasce senza volerlo. Si muore senza volerlo. Si vive una vita di prese per il culo. Gli animali, da sé, per indole emulano ed imitano, imparando atteggiamenti e comportamenti dei propri simili. Senonché sono proprio i simili, a difesa del gruppo, a inculcare nella mente altrui il principio di omologazione e conformazione. Noi siamo quello che altri hanno voluto che diventassimo. Facciamo in modo che diventiamo quello che noi avremmo (rafforzativo di saremmo) voluto diventare. Tu esisti se la tv ti considera. I Fatti son fatti oggettiv...
. . . a keen and brilliant critical account of Pasolini's films and writings . . . --Italica Rohdie's personal, idiosyncratic critical style is backed up by serious scholarly research, as the rich bibliography attests. This is one of the most original recent additions to the ever-growing literature on Pasolini. --Choice . . . refreshingly personal and full of unpredictable tangents. --Film Quarterly Sam Rohdie has written a personal, wonderfully lucid account of Pier Paolo Pasolini's cinema and literature.
