Monstrous Individuations: Deleuze, Simondon, and Relational Ontology
No full textStarting with Gilbert Simondon's theory of the individual (singular and collective) and its genesis, developed in his book L'individuation psychique et collective, this article discusses the principle of individuation and the critique of finalism. Simondon distinguishes and yet strictly binds together the two individuations that he calls psychique and collective, which is necessary, he argues, to avoid the double failure of psychologism and sociologism, by which he means the doctrines that assign a fixed (ontological) identity to man and his mind, on the one hand, and to society, on the other. Both psychologism and sociologism, according to Simondon, fail to understand their only reality, which is first and foremost relational. Influenced by Simondon's ontology, Gilles Deleuze's concept of nomadism is taken up in order to develop the idea of a principle of individuation intended as a critique of teleology. The question of individuation is thus referred to its ontological roots in the conflict between Aristotelian metaphysics (priority of act over power [potentia] and of final cause over efficient and material causes) and Spinozist metaphysics (power [potentia] existing only in act, absolute immanence, radical criticism of every teleology). This essay shows what is at stake between the two authors and what Deleuze could not have derived from Simondon, which Del Lucchese calls a Spinozistic problematic
Edaphic Characters of Brachypodium Communities on the Alps and the Apennines
No full textGrassland communities with Brachypodium cespitosum, B. genuense, or B. rupestre, distributed along Alps and Apennines were analysed, considering soil edaphic measures. Submitted to both principal components and cluster analysis six groups of relevés resulted, whose edaphic structure was compared to nominal characters. As a confirmation of results, stepwise discriminant analysis showed the edaphic characters responsible of the different species presence in the grasslands. As results, Brachypodium rupestre seems to be present on more basic soils, rich of clay, whereas B. genuense grows on more acid soils, rich in nourishment, and B. cespitosum seems to be in an intermediate position. The type of growth then, seems to depend strongly on the edaphic soil conditions.Des pâturages à Brachypodium cespitosum, B. rupestre ou B. genuense, répartis dans les Alpes et les Apennins, ont été étudiés du point de vue des caractères édaphiques. Une analyse en composantes principales suivie d’une classification a permis de déterminer six groupes de relevés dont la composition a été mise en rapport avec les mesures édaphiques. Une analyse discriminante pas à pas a montré les caractères édaphiques les plus corrélés avec la croissance des différentes espèces de Brachypodium de ces pâturages. En résumé, Brachypodium rupestre semble s’installer sur des sols plus basiques et plus riches en argile, tandis que B. genuense croît sur des sols plus acides et plus riches en éléments nutritifs, B. cespitosum se situant dans une position intermédiaire. Il semble donc que le type de croissance dépende fortement des conditions édaphiques.Camiz Sergio, Dowgiallo Giuseppina, Lucchese Fernando.

The language of monsters: Fanon on power and violence
No full textIn this article I deal with various aspects of the relationship between politics and violence, with a specific emphasis on the mediation of language. More specifically, I want to show through a consideration of Frantz Fanon’s thought how power always employs violence in and through a language, a grammar, a syntax. Yet, I will also point out how the language itself is a fundamental theoretical kernel in which a vital resistance to power, both ontological and political, is expressed. The violence of power, even in its most extreme forms, is always employed through an action on language. Nevertheless, certain political philosophers have offered a different perspective concerning the relationship between language and power. Defining resistance as the basic characteristic of politics, they have pointed out that the conflict with power takes place also within language. Language becomes a real theoretical battlefield through which it is possible to think a different role and meaning for violence. It is Fanon’s theoretical and political writings that can help us define a different conception of violence. Through an analysis of these works, I will reveal what for power is the “monstrous” character of resistance as well as its relation to the language of violence
