Towards a critique of technocracy in the thought of Constantinos A. Doxiadis and Adriano Olivetti: Democracy, urban sociology and Marshall Plan politics
Get PDFThe paper is built upon the general understanding that the Marshall Plan played a crucial role in the reconstruction of Europe after the Second World War. Architecture and urbanism were very important in this respect. A starting point for the paper is the identification of certain key players regarding the connection between the politics of the Marshall Plan and agendas for urban design, such as those of the Greek architect and town planner Constantinos A. Doxiadis and the Italian industrialist Adriano Olivetti. Doxiadis and Olivetti played an important role in the evolution of the interactions between urban planning and Marshall Plan policy. The paper is based on the hypothesis that Doxiadis could be considered a representative of a "technocratic fundamentalism", while Olivetti of a "capitalist paternalism". At the core of the paper is the intention to analyze the technocratic perception of Doxiadis and Olivetti. The paper also attempts to highlight how Doxiadis and Olivetti perceive the relationship between politics and technocracy. Weber's view on the division of labor between professional staff and political leadership, and the technocratic model of the German philosopher and sociologist Jürgen Habermas are used as an interpretive tool. The different origins of Doxiadis and Olivetti and the particular character of Greece and Italy in the post-war period contributed to the formation of different principles regarding the mission and vision of their political action and their relationship to the way each of them perceived the issue of national identity, and the possibility of urban planning strategies to contribute dynamically to the formation of new terms of understanding the issue of national identity. Relating urban planners approaches in Greece and Italy and the Cold War geopolitical conflicts, the paper examines how Olivetti and Doxiadis perceived the relationship between democracy and community is one of the aspects explored in the context of this proposal
The world wide web of carbon: Toward a relational footprinting of information and communications technology's climate impacts
Get PDFThe climate impacts of the information and communications technology sector—and Big Data especially—is a topic of growing public and industry concern, though attempts to quantify its carbon footprint have produced contradictory results. Some studies argue that information and communications technology's global carbon footprint is set to rise dramatically in the coming years, requiring urgent regulation and sectoral degrowth. Others argue that information and communications technology's growth is largely decoupled from its carbon emissions, and so provides valuable climate solutions and a model for other industries. This article assesses these debates, arguing that, due to data frictions and incommensurate study designs, the question is likely to remain irresolvable at the global scale. We present six methodological factors that drive this impasse: fraught access to industry data, bottom-up vs. top-down assessments, system boundaries, geographic averaging, functional units, and energy efficiencies. In response, we propose an alternative approach that reframes the question in spatial and situated terms: A relational footprinting that demarcates particular relationships between elements—geographic, technical, and social—within broader information and communications technology infrastructures. Illustrating this model with one of the global Internet's most overlooked components—subsea telecommunication cables—we propose that information and communications technology futures would be best charted not only in terms of quantified total energy use, but in specifying the geographical and technical parts of the network that are the least carbon-intensive, and which can therefore provide opportunities for both carbon reductions and a renewed infrastructural politics. In parallel to the politics of (de)growth, we must also consider different network forms
Metre in Old Saxon and Old High German
Get PDFSchematic (bullet-point) overview of Old Saxon and Old High German metre, with a particular emphasis on alliterative verse. My goal is to sketch out the main features of the metre, especially in comparison with Old English, rather than to delve into theoretical fundamentals (though an appendix touching on that topic is included). I also append a comparison of the Old Saxon Genesis poem with its translation in the Old English Genesis B
Eliseo Ferrer / El significado del Mito en las culturas primitivas, como paradigma de realidad y explicación del cosmos.
No full textLas filosofías racionalistas y la teología de la Iglesia ocultaron a lo largo de dos mil años el verdadero significado de los mitos y de la mitología antigua, para reducir su significado a aquello que, presentado como verdad aparente en un discurso, resultaba ser falso en realidad. En este sentido, un mito vendría determinado por la narración a través de la cual se ofrecería realidad a algo o a alguien que carecería de ella. En este orden, el mito implicaba falsedad. Pero los mitos y las mitologías de la prehistoria y el mundo antiguo fueron otra cosa muy diferente
Indian Economy at A Glance: FDI And Made in India
Get PDFIndia is predicted to become one of the world's top three economic powers within the next ten to fifteen years, supported by a healthy democracy and solid relationships. The gross domestic product (GDP) of India (at constant 2011-12 prices) is anticipated to reach Rs 145.65 lakh crore ($2.06 trillion) in 2019-20, up 4.2% from the preceding year. According to a NASSCOM survey, India maintained its position as the world's third largest start-up hub in 2019, with approximately 8,900-9,300 start-ups and 1,300 new start-ups
Prejudice And Heterogeneity: An Overview
Get PDFConglomerate avow have flatter a unit of worship bias. It is ordinary, if not omnipresent, the invocation for the court belief is “Plaintiff brings his action under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 for religious observance and practice.” Enlarged heterogeneity in the prayer’s enumeration suggests that customarily, contrasting treatment may in fact be embedded in interchange or composite bias: although cliché for “women” have somewhat evaporated. Composite bias dispenses a jetton description to the present depiction of prayers prejudice as fine or insentient. In spite of the ordinary sight conception that the more unidentical a worshipper is, the more likely she will experience bias, factual confirmation shows that vivid assert – which may report for more than the 50 per cent of united court prejudice activity – have very less chance of favourable outcome than single state. A representative of brief judgement commitment reveals that worshipper’s triumph on several claims. Getting the better of the courts unwilling to follow this superintendence needs the expansion and initiation of humanities research which set forth the subtlety cliché faced by complex suitor
