    Dissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Ciências Jurídicas, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Direito, Florianópolis, 2014O trabalho parte do problema de tentar pensar uma forma de resistência pelo Direito. A hipótese sustentada encontra amparo na noção de "desativar" o Direito, contida na obra de Giorgio Agamben. Neste sentido, o trabalho busca recompor os paradigmas jurídico-político e governamental dentro da obra do autor em questão, principalmente a partir dos livros "O poder soberano e a vida nua", "Estado de Exceção" e "O Reino e a Glória". Ao fim, a proposta de "desativar" o Direito e o conceito de inoperosidade defrontam-se com a máquina governamental agambeniana. Na conclusão, a filosofia do Direito é apresentada como alternativa para se pensar uma nova relação entre Direito e vida.Abstract: The work begins from the problem of trying to think of a way of resistance by Law. The hypothesis is supported by the notion of "deactivate" the law, contained in the work of Giorgio Agamben. In this sense, this dissertation seeks to reconstruct the legal-political and governmental paradigms within the work of the author in question, mostly from the books "The sovereign power and bare life", "State of Exception" and "The Kingdom and the Glory". At the end, the proposal to "deactivate" the Law and the concept of unindustriousness are confronted with Agamben's government machinery. In conclusion, the philosophy of law is presented as an alternative to think about a new relationship between law and life

    Transient weak gravity in scalar-tensor theories

    No full text
    Sub-horizon perturbations in scalar-tensor theories have been shown to grow generically faster than in uncoupled models due to a positive, additive Yukawa force. In such cases, the amount of clustering becomes larger than in the standard cosmological model, exacerbating the observed tension in the σ8 parameter. Here we show instead that in some simple cases of conformally coupled dark energy one can obtain a transient regime of negative Yukawa force, without introducing ghosts or other instabilities

    Riscrivere Dante in un'altra lingua:Nel regno oscuro by Giorgio Pressburger

    Reading from Nel regno oscuro by Giorgio Pressburger followed by a conversation with the author The Jewish, Budapest-born writer Giorgio Pressburger, one of the most interesting contemporary novelists in Europe, does not write in his native Hungarian but in adoptive Italian, and has often reflected about this linguistic choice. His most recent novel, Nel regno oscuro (2008), is inspired by Dante’s Inferno, and describes a journey to Hell which is both a meditation on XX-century history – and the Shoah in particular – and a psychoanalytical attempt, guided by Sigmund Freud, to come to terms with the loss of the author’s dead father and twin brother

    No full text
    openL’analisi condotta all’interno di questo elaborato si propone di fornire un’analisi tematica e linguistica della raccolta “Il seme del piangere” di Giorgio Caproni, pubblicata per la prima volta da Garzanti nel 1959. Partendo da una panoramica storica, culturale e stilistica dell’ambiente e delle spinte che muovono l’autore nella composizione della sua poesia, si giungerà ad un’analisi puntuale della prima sezione dell’opera: i “Versi Livornesi” dedicati alla madre al fine di fornire una breve ma puntuale antologia commentata. La forza poetica degli anni ’60 è totalmente condensata nella mente e nella penna di Giorgio Caproni, lo scopo di questo studio è pertanto quello di mettere in luce quante più caratteristiche e particolarità possibili con il desiderio di omaggiare colui che, nella seconda metà del Novecento, donò alla poesia un momento di massima elevazione che, in seguito, è stato difficilmente raggiungibile.The analysis conducted within the paper aims to provide a linguistic and thematic overview of Giorgio Caproni's collection "Il seme del piangere," first published by Garzanti in 1959. Starting from a historical, cultural and stylistic framing of the environment and the drives that move the author in his poetic production, a punctual analysis of the first section of the work, the "Versi Livornesi," will be made in order to provide a brief but timely annotated anthology. The poetic force of the 1960s is totally condensed in the mind and pen of Giorgio Caproni, therefore the aim of this study is to highlight as many of his characteristics and particularities as possible with the desire to pay homage to the one who gave an elevation to the poetry of the second half of the twentieth century that has hardly been, subsequently, achieved

    Spontaneous partial regression of low-grade glioma in children with neurofibromatosis-1: a real possibility.

    No full text
    At the age of 41 and 31 months, respectively, a boy and a girl affected by neurofibromatosis-1 were diagnosed with a visual pathway glioma during surveillance contrast-enhanced head magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In the first child, the initial MRI showed that the entire optic chiasm, the intracranial tract of the left optic nerve, and hypothalamus were grossly enlarged and enhanced in the post-gadolinium T1-weighted images. Ten months later, the hypothalamic component of the lesion had regressed markedly and there were no more areas of contrast enhancement. In the second child, the initial MRI showed that the optic chiasm, the right optic tract, and geniculate body were enlarged and enhanced after gadolinium injection. At 6-month follow-up, the MRI showed that the right optic tract and the anterior aspect of the optic chiasm decreased in size and the contrast enhancement of the entire lesion was reduced dramatically. These findings, as indicated by other similar reports, confirm that spontaneous regression of visual pathway glioma is a rare but real possibility in children with neurofibromatosis-1. Therefore, clinicians need to be aware of visual pathway glioma's erratic behavior in children with neurofibromatosis-1 with special attention given to the importance of a very conservative attitude toward any type of treatment for such patients

    The conceptual question among sovereignty, biopolitics and law: a sensible point between Foucault and Agamben

    No full text
    The concept of biopolitics has its origin on the Michel Foucault works developped since 1975 to 1979. In this period, the author introduced the foundations for a new approach about the modern government, based in both crescent enpowerment on individuals and the control of populations. The theme has attracted the attentions of some critical political studies, with many practical uses. However, I believe there is not enough consolidation about biopolitics as a concept and a comprehensive theory of the new political mechanisms. This uncertainness is more evident when the very role of Law is questioned in a biopolitical model, due to the archaic nature that Foucault gives to it. So the aim of the paper is to identify the theorical comprehension of biopolitics in a contemporary author as Giorgio Agamben to demonstrate his oppositions and proximities from the original idea of Michel Foucault. I propose that Agamben has the same difficulties of Foucault to deal with legal theory and Law inside biopolitics. Nevertheless, after a critical review on the works of this two authors, my conclusion is that a settlement of the concepts of Law and biopolitics depends of the surpassing of the Foucaldian version of Law as sovereignity, a clear delimitation of a common core between the authors and their differences and the research and affirmation of the concept of Law in Agamben, more well-refined than Foucault's one

    Germinoma with synchronous involvement of midline and off-midline structures associated with progressive hemiparesis and hemiatrophy in a young adult.

    No full text
    INTRODUCTION: Cerebral germinomas, the most common and least malignant intracranial germ cell tumors, usually arise in the pineal or suprasellar region and have characteristic clinical and radiological features. Germinomas more rarely occur in the thalamus, basal ganglia, and internal capsule, causing sometimes cerebral hemiatrophy and hemiparesis. More rarely, other clinical features can be fever of unknown origin, visual disturbance, and neuropsychiatric symptoms. Cerebral hemiatrophy can precede the imaging depiction of the off-midline mass. CASE: The authors present the first case of cerebral germinoma with synchronous involvement of the midline and off-midline structures, with unusual clinical and radiological presentation. DISCUSSION: The literature is reviewed, and the pathogenesis, the clinical findings, the imaging, and the therapy are discussed
