Ferreira, Ferrari: ficções do exílio
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Literatura, Florianópolis, 2015.Esta é uma leitura dos exílios de Ferreira Gullar e León Ferrari, durante as últimas ditaduras militares que tomaram conta do Cone Sul, incluindo Brasil e Argentina. Entre 1971 e 1977, Gullar passou por Moscou, Santiago, Lima e Buenos Aires, além de outras cidades, enquanto Ferrari, por sua vez, estabeleceu-se com sua família em São Paulo do final de 1976 até 1984, sendo que após esse período ainda dividiria por alguns anos a sua permanência entre a capital paulista e Buenos Aires. Alguns de seus mais notáveis trabalhos foram realizados no exílio, de modo que a configuração de uma paisagem ou cena exílica torna-se indissociável das experiências conduzidas com a linguagem. Em poucas palavras: embora marcado pela tanatopolítica castrense e pelo nomos gestor do capital global, é possível afirmar que o exílio não está dado de antemão e nem permanece sempre o mesmo, quer seja como dano ou como dádiva; é somente com a linguagem  a imagem, o sensível  que uma experiência exílica, sempre singular e radicalmente contemporânea, pode encontrar a sua superfície de exposição, quer dizer, a sua diferença. Conquanto sejam profundamente dessemelhantes, os exílios de Ferreira Gullar e León Ferrari não deixam de mostrar afinidades, sobretudo nos momentos em que suas experiências tocam um ponto comum: o espaço  um topos  a-tópico da impropriedade, da potência, da in-operatividade que, com a linguagem, resiste indomesticável às tentativas de cristalização da língua, do povo, do poder, da nação. Foucault, Saer, Coccia e outros autores franqueiam um pensamento da ficção enquanto construção contingencial capaz de desnaturalizar os usos do discurso e a teleologia que assedia constantemente a literatura, as artes, a história. De certo modo, a ficção ¬repete, expõe e portanto difere as fábulas, ao mesmo tempo em que expõe e difere a si mesma. É essa operação in-operante, esse trabalho afirmativo da negatividade que suspende a maquinaria imunitária, autonomista, da civilização ocidental e cristã.Abstract : This is a reading of both Ferreira Gullar and León Ferrari s exiles, during the last military dictatorships that took account of the Southern Cone, including Brazil and Argentina. Between 1971 and 1977, Gullar went through Moscow, Santiago, Lima and Buenos Aires, and other cities, while Ferrari settled with his family in São Paulo from late 1976 until 1984, and thereafter still divided for a few years his stay between São Paulo and Buenos Aires. Some of his most notable works were carried out in exile, so that the configuration of an exilic landscape or scene becomes inseparable from experiments conducted with language. In short, although marked by military thanatopolitics and the nomos of global capital manager, it is possible to say that exile is not given in advance and not always remains the same, whether as damage or as a gift; it is only with the language  the image, the sensible  that an exilic experience, always singular and radically contemporary, can find its exposure surface, that is, its difference. While they are profoundly dissimilar, Ferreira Gullar and León Ferrari s exiles show their affinities, particularly at times when their experiences play a common point: the space  a topos  a-topic of the impropriety, potency, of in-operativity that, together with language, resists untamable against all crystallization attempts on the idiom, people, power, and nation. Foucault, Saer, Coccia and other authors frank a thought of fiction as a contingency construction able to denature the uses of speech and the teleology that constantly haunts literature, arts, and history. In a way, fiction repeats, exposes and therefore differs fables, while exposes and differs itself. It is this in-operative operation, this affirmative work of negativity that suspends the immunitary machinery of Christian Western civilization

Climate-related assessment of building energy needs
No full textThis chapter reports the analysis of the correlation between the seasonal thermal energy needs of different building solutions and their climatic locations, assuming the variety of the Italian context taken as representative of southern Europe. The case-studies, simulated through a detailed dynamic tool, are representative of common practices from three main construction ages (newly built, 1960/80 and very old), and therefore include both different envelope characteristics and window percentages. Consideration is also given to the implementation of passive cooling strategies, such as shading and night ventilation, and to the adoption of variable set-point temperatures, directed towards climate-related user expectations, i.e. adaptive comfort. The graphic representation, according to the heating and cooling degree days adopted for supporting the climate-related analysis, can also be useful for extending the assessment to other locations within the same climatic area through simple interpolation. The data sheets reporting the detailed results of the case-studies, on the other hand, can be used directly for assessing the building energy needs of similar locations
Thermal comfort approaches and building performance
No full textCurrently, the suitable indoor temperature is commonly defined according to the thermal comfort theory formulated by Fanger (1970). This approach bases the definition of thermal comfort on mere physics and completely neglects the social and psychological aspects of thermal perception. Moreover, its formulation is completely steady-state, determining a very narrow range of allowable temperatures throughout the year regardless of the outdoor conditions. An alternative approach to defining comfortable temperatures is the adaptive approach, which stems from the results of a wide range of field studies. It assumes that the thermal expectations of the users are linked to the outside climatic conditions on a variable basis. This chapter describes these two approaches and summarises the most relevant adaptive comfort indices. Furthermore, based on the different adaptive formulations, the comfortable temperature trends are derived and compared for two locations in Italy characterized by opposite climatic conditions. Finally, the possible implications on building thermal performance are analysed by means of a case study application
Energy performance analysis of typical buildings
No full textThe study reported in this chapter addresses the assessment of the thermal behaviour of typical buildings within the Italian context, taken as representative of the countries in southern Europe. Five representative case-studies are reported for three principal construction ages (newly built, 1960/80, very old), the two more recent periods having seen the use of more glazed and lighter walls as an alternative to more conventional solutions. The performances of the buildings are predicted, through detailed dynamic simulations, with reference to the resulting indoor operative temperatures in order to consider the actual overall thermal comfort sensation provided by the different envelope solutions. Considering that southern Europe is mostly characterized by warm climates, the study also analyses the effectiveness of two basic passive cooling strategies (i.e. shading and night ventilation) in relation to the different building characteristics. Moreover, the implications in the seasonal cooling need assessment when considering the adoption of climate-related set-point temperatures (i.e. adaptive comfort approach), beyond the assumed common standard, are also evaluated
Implications of the assumptions in assessing building thermal balance
No full textThe assessment of building energy performance in Europe is widely based on standards that usually refer to the simplified method provided for by EN ISO 13790 (2008). In this simplified method, the estimation of heat transfer is steady-state based, and the building energy balance takes into account the behaviour of the building when interacting with the unsteady parameters by introducing a corrector factor related to the thermal mass effect (i.e. utilization factor). Nevertheless, this method, called “quasi-steady-state”, is often unreliable compared to the results provided by a detailed dynamic simulation, in particular concerning the assessment of the thermal need in warmer climates. This chapter highlights this critical point through case studies applications. Additionally, since the common goal of the building energy assessment is to depict a building with an average usage pattern, the implications concerning the assumptions of the main input parameters to be adopted in the building heat balance assessment are also investigated, showing their very high importance in influencing the final climatization need
Buildings performance comparison: From energy need to energy consumption
No full textBuilding heating and cooling energy needs result from the thermal balance calculation, and can be determined with a high degree of accuracy through the use of detailed dynamic energy simulation tools. On this basis, starting from a reference building shape, assuming the same time-related input parameters (such as the internal sources of heat, the ventilation and the indoor temperatures) and varying the construction elements, the energy performance of a set of alternative building solutions can be evaluated and compared. However, the related building energy consumption, which is also based on the characteristics of the active air conditioning systems, does not necessarily depend linearly on the calculated heating and cooling needs. A further overall energy performance comparison between the different building solutions should therefore be adjusted accordingly. In this chapter, reference climatization systems are defined and assigned to a set of case-study buildings. Final and primary energy consumption values are then calculated and the differences in the overall energy performance trends, compared to those based on the calculated energy needs, are assessed
