Progetto GENIUS LUCI - Concorso internazionale "URBAN LIGHTSCAPE" - progetto vincitore
No full textIl progetto Genius Luci nasce da una profonda esplorazione analitica focalizzata sullo spazio, le relazioni sociali, le funzioni urbane, le attività delle persone e il contesto storico di questo quartiere così particolare al fine di individuare opportunità di progetto di luce in relazione alle specifiche esigenze locali. Dopo una fase analitica estesa e multidisciplinare, i punti principali del progetto si concentrano su un approccio sperimentale che propone un’illuminazione urbana di qualità, e che determina un dialogo tra le antiche e le nuove caratteristiche del quartiere EUR, tra la funzionalità delle strade, l’imponenza dei monumenti e le zone a misura umana, in modo da migliorare ed enfatizzare la sua identità notturna. L'area è stata progettata come un grande "museo" sperimentale mettendo in relazione, attraverso la luce e l’esperienza luminosa i diversi stili architettonici, enfatizzando la bellezza dei luoghi pubblici e migliorando la vivibilità notturna delle aree verdi di aggregazione. Sono inoltre state proposte soluzioni di illuminazione specifiche per ciascuna funzione e caratteristica urbana e sono state messe a sistema attraverso un’infrastruttura di gestione intelligente

A comparison of intertemporal choices for oneself versus someone else based on Tsallis’ statistics
No full textImpulsivity and inconsistency in intertemporal choice (discounting) have drawn attention in econophysics and neuroeconomics. Although it is well established that most people often show irrational discounting (e.g., hyperbolic discounting), little is known regarding whether the irrationality is mitigated or not, when the choice was performed by someone else instead of subject herself. This point is important for economic policy-making. In order to compare consistency and impulsivity in choices for oneself versus someone else, we experimentally estimated the consistency parameter q in Tsallis’ statistics-based discount function for oneself and someone else, by assessing the points of subjective equality (indifference points) at 7 delays (1 week to 25 years) in humans. We observed that (i) most people are more inconsistent when the outcomes of intertemporal choice are only relevant to someone else (q ¼ 8.89) than when relevant to oneself (q ¼ 2.63), and (ii) impulsivity, distinguished from inconsistency by utilizing the Tsallis statistics-based q-exponential discount function, is also larger in the choice for someone else than for oneself. Our results indicate that (i) leaving decision-making processes with some others may neither reduce impulsivity nor correct inconsistency and (ii) when q-exponential discounting is utilized, the definition range of q-parameter should be extended to qo0, and smaller (qo1) and larger (q41) values indicate more inconsistent discounting. Together, the usefulness of the q-exponential discounting for analyzing the dynamic consistency of economic policy was demonstrated in the present study
Fräulein Else : Textanalyse aus psychologischer und epochentypischer Perspektive
No full textThis literary work has been chosen to focus on a novel called Fräulein Else and is written by Arthur Schnitzler.

Malik, Letters of Else Lasker-Schüler to Franz Marc
No full textElse LaskerSchüler (1869-1945), among the significant expressionist woman writers, did not only suffer from being both a woman and author, but also had to struggle under difficulties of being a hebrew. In this paper, especially the letter novel titled "Der Malik : Eine Kaisergeschichte" has been handled in the light of Homi K. Bhabha's 'Third Space Theory'. In regard to this, the "Third Space", which is defined by postcolonial theoretician Homi K. Bhabha as an extra place where minorities and outcast groups can express themselves in his work "The Location of Culture", is adapted to the literary "Orient" and defined once again in Else Lasker-Schüler's novel as it was never approached and interpreted before. In this sense, this supports the relevance to analyze her mentioned works in terms of the "Third Space Theory". Else Lasker-Schüler constructed a new world for herself through literature; her works were her life and her life was her works.Ekspresyonizm döneminin önemli kadın yazarlarından olan Else Lasker-Schüler (1869-1945) yaşamı boyunca hem kadın hem de yazar olmanın sıkıntılarını çekmekle kalmamış, aynı zamanda Yahudi olmanın zorluklarıyla da savaşmak zorunda kalmıştır. Bu makalede özellikle yazarın "Der Malik. Eine Kaisergeschichte" adlı mektup romanı Homi K. Bhabha’ nın tanımladığı "Üçüncü Mekan" kavramının ışığında incelenmeye çalışılmıştır. Bu kavramdan yola çıkarak Postkolonial teorisyen Homi K. Bhabha’nın "The location of culture" (Die Verortung der Kultur) (2000) adlı kitabında azınlıkların ve dışlanmış grupların kendilerini ifade edebilecekleri bir ara mekan olarak tanımladığı "3. Mekan" (Third Space), Else Lasker-Schüler'in eserindeki edebi "Doğu" ya uyarlanmış ve önceden yaklaşılmamış ve yorumlanmamış şekilde yeniden tanımlanmıştır. Bu anlamda "Üçüncü Mekan" kavramının sözü edilen eserin analizi için uygunluğunu daha da kuvvetlendirmiştir. Else Lasker-Schüler kendine edebiyat ile yeni dünya inşa etmiştir, eserleri onun yaşamı, yaşamı ise yazdıklarından oluşmaktadır

Bureaucracy and Hierarchy – What Else!?
No full textHierarchy and bureaucracy have been more or less welcomed companions of human civilisation from the very beginning. In almost every culture and epoch, ruling elites and followers, superiors and subordinates can be identified. Hierarchy and bureaucracy are quite flexible, adaptable and they are fairly persistent – but why could, or even should we see this as a problem?
This introduction will first provide a brief history of no change, followed by the second section where the advantages and disadvantages and the contested terrain of hierarchy are elaborated in some length. The discussion focuses on three areas: the functional, social and ethical qualities of hierarchy. In the final section, the chapters of this volume will be briefly introduced. The chapters are grouped into three sections: (I) Fundamentals and historical accounts of bureaucracy, (II) Organisational, cultural and socio-psychological aspects of hierarchy and (III) Alternative views on, and alternatives to hierarchy.

I Thought You Were Someone Else
No full textI Thought You Were Someone Else deals with violence, family, love, art, and gender. The author examines these issues as well as what makes a creative work fiction or nonfiction by creating a multi-genre collection of seven short fiction stories and five short nonfiction pieces. Fictional stories feature protagonists similar to the author and protagonists who could be considered completely different from the author. Nevertheless, the protagonists in these pieces, whether they are real or fictitious, all experience grand realizations concerning their identity and surroundings. Essentially, they realize they are not who they thought they were. A young boy realizes he likes destruction; another comes to terms with love and romance. A father deals with his homophobia, while another older man examines his life of violence. Young women cope with getting older and struggling to create families. Others realize that their needs will never be met. All stories deal with growth, change, and discovery, thereby allowing the author to unearth details about identity and how it is shaped and evolves
