CASE STUDY: ZULUETA´S RAPTURE. Writtings from inside and outside the Academics on trial
No full textThe present text is divided into two parts: a presentation and a paper. First, in italics, I present what could be called “Case Study: Zulueta’s Rapture” and propose some reflections on its meaning within the framework of current university practices surrounding knowledge. Next to take the stand is the paper itself, the object of the trial, whose author proposes a political reading of the film Rapture (Arrebato in the original Spanish) by Iván Zulueta. Lastly, some conclusions are offered. I will say no more; the text has a complex structure and is best judged by reading it
The Time of Montage. A lecture in the form of a dialogue
No full textIn this lecture-conversation, Isabel de Naverán and Leire Vergara offer an array of readings, life experiences and descriptions of films in order to address the concept of montage as applied to contemporary choreography and curatorial work.Taking the description of several scenes as a point of departure, the authors propose an understanding of montage (both in exhibits and in choreography) based on a specific temporality in which peripheral elements and everyday life lend intention and meaning to the work. In this partially scripted conversation the authors exchange their perspectives on the white cube and the black box, and question some of the dynamics of those two mechanisms.The Time of Montage has been staged on three occasions. The first was in the Teatro Pradillo in Madrid, in the context of Laboratorio 987 (2013) organized by Chus Domínguez, Nilo Gallego and Silvia Zayas and the cycle of exhibits Form and Vouloir-dire curated by Leire Vergara in 2012 at the MUSAC (Museum of Contemporary Art of Castille and Leon), the second was in the Laboratorio 987 at MUSAC within the same initiative, and the third time in Sukaldea-Tabakalera in San Sebastián (2014) as part of the program Paracinema curated by Esperanza Collado. Each staging involved some changes to the text, the props and the dialogue conducted afterwards.RE-VISIONES presents a new version of the lecture, including the transcription and translation into English of the first two points proposed by each author, and a video recording of the lecture as staged at the Teatro Pradillo
Putting the World to Work
No full textThis text is a translation of the recently published book’s Introduction by Cara New Daggett, The Birth of Energy: Fossil Fuels, Thermodynamics, and the Politics of Work (Durham, Duke University Press, 2019), where this author records how 19th-century cultural imaginaries (particularly those gestated in the British Isles) were deeply convulsed by the articulation of two specific phenomena: on one hand, the creation of a new fossil fuel-based industrial production regime (in particular the massive use of coal) and the increase in employee productivity (subject to the logic of relative capital plusvalia, i.e. the work intensification for each unit of time); on the other hand, the emergence of a new concept of energy around thermodynamic science , which legitimized productive imaginaries and fossil imperialism through the theological perception of nature as an infinite source of resources at the service of human material progress (Western).Original publication: "Introduction: Putting the World to Work," in The Birth of Energy, Cara Daggett, pp. 1-14.

Plano diretor participativo de Criciúma/SC: uma década de conflitos
Get PDFDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Geografia, Florianópolis, 2012O planejamento urbano elaborado de forma participativa passou a ser normatizado em 2001 com o Estatuto da Cidade. Durante a última década as cidades brasileiras passaram a ter que implantar uma prática que trazia consigo uma série de questões ligadas a territorialidade. Entre as atribuições da gestão pública se destaca a necessidade de planejar o território para que se possa definir prioridades de investimentos e amenizar problemas existentes, tendo ainda essa temática importante função social. Nessa ótica, os planos diretores têm sido revistos sob a égide da Lei 10.257/2001, o Estatuto da Cidade, que propõe que este processo seja participativo. Isso significa que o planejamento urbano deve deixar de ser feito exclusivamente pelo poder público apoiado pelos seus técnicos e passe a ter uma abertura para a participação de diversos setores da sociedade. Partimos então de um modelo de planejamento tecnocrático ou hierárquico para um modelo democrático e participativo, sendo fundamental estabelecer regras claras para a atuação dos atores envolvidos no processo. Sendo assim, o desenho institucional é fundamental para que o processo transcorra de forma justa e objetiva. O município de Criciúma/SC teve seu processo de revisão do plano diretor iniciado há uma década e encontra-se indefinido até final de 2012 por influência do desenho institucional proposto, que sofreu variações em momentos distintos que levaram o processo a um bloqueio. Iniciado o processo com a partilha de poder preconizada pela Lei, quando foi composto um Núcleo Gestor, a fase seguinte apresentou o empoderamento da sociedade civil a partir da atuação dos Delegados representantes de bairros. Porém, o poder público redesenhou o processo para que retornasse a partilha e retrocedesse posteriormente a um nível menor de participação, o de ratificação. Para a elaboração da pesquisa foram consultados documentos relativos ao processo de discussão do Plano Diretor e entrevistados atores centrais do processo. O município já teve outras experiências de planejamento também influenciadas pela territorialidade, conforme apresentado nesta pesquisa, mas nenhuma delas foi tão complexa quanto a do Plano Diretor Participativo. Os resultados apontam para a indefinição promovida pela variação do desenho institucional, que ocorre a três mandatos, deixando uma incerteza quanto a sua finalização e principalmente, quanto aos benefícios para a cidade que o plano diretor trará.Abstract : The urban planning developed in a participatory manner became standardized in 2001 with the Statute of the City. During the last decade the Brazilian cities now have to deploy a practice that carried with it a number of issues related to territoriality. Among the duties of public administration including the need to plan for the territory so you can prioritize investments and mitigate existing problems, still having this issue important social function. From this perspective, the master plans have been reviewed under the auspices of the Law 10.257/2001, the City Statute, which suggests that this process is participatory. This means that urban planning should no longer be done solely by the government and backed by its technicians spend to have an opening for the participation of different sectors of society. We start then a model of technocratic planning or hierarchical model to a democratic and participatory, being essential to establish clear rules for the actors involved in the process. Thus, institutional design is fundamental to the process elapse fairly and objectively. The town of Crickhowell / SC had its review process of the master plan started a decade ago and is undefined until the end of 2012 under the influence of institutional design proposed, which suffered variations at different times that the process led to a lockout. Process starts with the sharing of power advocated by Law, composed when he was a Center Manager, the next stage presented the empowerment of civil society from the actions of representatives of Delegates districts. However, the government redesigned the process to return the shares and then recedes to a lower level of participation, the ratification. For the preparation of this research were consulted documents relating to the discussion of the Master Plan and interviewed key players in the process. The city has had other experiences planning also influenced by territoriality, as shown in this study, but none were as complex as the Participative Master Plan. The results point to the vagueness promoted by the change in institutional design, which occurs three terms, leaving uncertainty as to its completion and mainly on the benefits to the city master plan that will bring
“Desde mi cama, revuelta”. Reflexiones tullidas para una revolución en horizontal= "From my bed, revolted". Crippled reflections for a horizontal revolution.
No full textResumenEn “Teoría de la Mujer Enferma” la autora Johanna Hedva (2018) pregunta ¿cómo se rompe la ventana de un banco con un ladrillo si no puedes salir de la cama?, para referirse a los modos de protesta y participación que son permitidos para las personas enfermas. En un mundo donde la protesta y la revolución se manifiestan en acciones públicas, ¿qué formas de revuelta y tácticas de resistencia son posibles para los cuerpos que no son físicamente capaces de situarse en la calle? Este artículo busca responder a esta pregunta proponiendo una revisión a nuestras prácticas de revuelta y revolución, lidiando con las implicaciones de lo que ambas excluyen. Basándome en materiales de mi investigación doctoral, la cual explora experiencias de mujeres con dolor cronificado, utilizo fotografías y extractos de una de las entrevistas realizadas durante el trabajo de campo, para proponer visualidades e imaginarios radicales que las personas enfermas o con discapacidad emplean cada día. En otras palabras, este artículo propone una reflexión de formas de revuelta y tácticas de resistencia tullidas para pensar en cómo se vive una revolución en horizontal.AbstractIn "Sick Woman Theory" author Johanna Hedva (2018) asks "how do you throw a brick through the window of a bank if you can't get out of bed?", to refer to the modes of protest and participation that are permissible for sick people. In a world where protest and revolution are manifested in public actions, what forms of revolt and tactics of resistance are possible for bodies that are physically unable to situate themselves in the street? This article seeks to answer this question by proposing a revision to our practices of revolt and revolution, grappling with the implications of what both exclude. Drawing on materials from my doctoral research, which explores the experiences of women with chronic pain, I use photographs and excerpts from one of the interviews conducted during fieldwork to propose radical visualities and imaginaries that sick or disabled people employ every day. In other words, this article proposes a reflection of forms of revolt and crippled resistance tactics to think about how a revolution is lived horizontally
The vanishing author in computer-generated works: a critical analysis of recent Australian case law
Get PDFAbstract
The use of software is ubiquitous in the creation of many copyright works, yet the requirement in copyright law that every work have a human author who engages in independent intellectual effort means that its use may prevent copyright subsistence. Several recent Australian cases have refocused attention on authorship as an essential criterion of copyright subsistence, and these cases suggest that much computer-produced output may be authorless and thus lack copyright protection. This article, the first in a two-part series, analyses how each case deals with the question of authorship of computer-produced works and why the use of software diminishes copyright protection for a significant number of computer-generated works. The article critiques the application of conventional notions of human authorship developed in the pre-computer age to modern productions and suggests alternative approaches to authorship that satisfy both the major objectives of copyright policy and the need to adapt to the computer age. The article argues that, without a broader judicial approach to authorship of computer-generated works, Parliament must remedy the lacuna in protection for these ‘authorless’ works. Possible solutions for reform are suggested. In a forthcoming article, the author comprehensively examines those reform proposals
Quantization for compact neural passage re-ranking
No full textPassage re-ranking is a fundamental problem in information retrieval, which deals with reordering a small set of passages based on their relevancy to a query. It is a crucial component in various web information systems, such as search engines or question-answering systems. Modern approaches for building re-ranking systems rely on neural language models such as BERT, or its derivatives, to create dense indexes for the target document corpus. While such approaches bring significant performance gains compared to classical lexical re-rankers, they have the disadvantage of increased memory costs.A family of methods that can be used to reduce the memory footprint of a dense index is called vector quantization. Vector quantization algorithms usually rely on a combination of clustering and space manipulation operations to perform a lossy compression of the dense index at the expense of index performance. While vector quantization is widely used for first-stage retrieval, its use in the context of re-ranking is underexplored. To this end, this thesis evaluates the effectiveness of product quantization, a well-known vector quantization method, on single-vector dual-encoders, specifically TCT-ColBERT and Aggretriever. In addition to this, we show how linear interpolation of sparse scores can be leveraged to improve the performance of quantized dense indices with negligible costs to the memory footprint or speed. Last but not least, we propose WolfPQ, a learnable quantization method aimed at further improving quantization for re-ranking by bridging the gap between the objective functions used in training product quantization and re-ranking systems, respectively.Computer Scienc
