Freud, Lacan and Witz : the dimension of the pleasure and the significant
No full textOrientador: Luiz Roberto MonzaniTese (doutorado) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Instituto de Filosofia e Ciencias HumanasResumo: Para Jacques Lacan, a técnica do Witz é igual à técnica do significante. Para o autor francês, no que concerne ao Witz, a técnica do significante possui uma dimensão mais essencial que a dimensão do prazer. Vale a lembrança de que, para Sigmund Freud, a produção de prazer é tida como a principal característica do Witz. Uma análise do conceito de prazer, passando pelo seu mecanismo no Witz, além de um estudo acerca das relações entre o significante lacaniano e o Witz freudiano nos possibilitará uma maior compreensão acerca da importância destas duas dimensões. A constatação de um certo ¿silêncio¿ da parte de Lacan no que diz respeito ao aspecto ¿econômico¿ do prazer, certamente nos ajudará a esclarecer a sua posição. Sustentamos, portanto, mesmo reconhecendo a importância da dimensão do significante, que o prazer, tal como Freud o aborda, não perde a sua dimensão essencial no que se refere ao Witz e suas relações com o inconscienteAbstract: To Jacques Lacan, the Witz technique is the same as the significant technique. Regarding the Witz, the french author considers that the significant technique has a more essential dimension than the pleasure dimension. However, for Sigmund Freud, the main characteristic of the Witz is the pleasure production. An analysis of the pleasure concept, going through its mechanism in the Witz, besides a study about the relationships between the lacanian significant and the freudian Witz, will enable us to have a broader comprehension about the importance of those two dimensions. The evidence of a kind of ¿silence¿ from Lacan about the ¿economic¿ aspect of the pleasure certainly will help us to clarify his position. We sustain howsoever that, even though we recognize the importance of the significant dimension, the pleasure, according to Freud¿s approach, does not lose its main dimension in relation to the Witz and its relationships with the unconsciousDoutoradoEpistemologiaDoutor em Filosofi
Activin A increases invasiveness of endometrial cells in an in-vitro model of human peritoneum
No full textThe aim of this study was to investigate whether activin A has an effect on the attachment and/or invasion of endometrial cells in a modeled peritoneum in vitro. Cultured endometrial stromal cells (ESCs) and endometrial epithelial cells (EECs) were treated with activin A (6.25-50 ng/ml) and with activin A (25 ng/ml) with and without inhibin A or follistatin. Fluorescent labeled cells were added to confluent peritoneal mesothelial cells (PMCs) and to a monolayer of confluent PMCs grown in a MatrigelTM invasion assay. The rate of endometrial cell attachment and invasion through PMCs was assessed. The expression of cell adhesion proteins N- and E-cadherin was evaluated with real-time RT-PCR. Activin A (25 ng/ml) promoted invasion of the endometrial cells through the modeled peritoneum (>2-fold versus control) and this effect was partially reversed by inhibin A and follistatin. Activin A had no effect on the rate of attachment of the endometrial cells to the PMCs or in the rate of proliferation. In addition, activin A induced a decreased mRNA expression of E-cadherin in cultured EECs. In conclusion, activin A increases invasion of EECs and ESCs into modeled peritoneum. In EECs, this effect may be related to down-regulation of E-cadherin expression. Further studies are warranted to evaluate the role of activin-A in the genesis of the endometriotic lesion. © The Author 2008.

Grenzen des guten Geschmacks in einem Witz
No full textIn diesem Artikel wird versucht, die ästhetische Kategorie des Geschmacks in Bezug auf den Witz zu besprechen. Wichtig und besonders interessant ist auch die Frage, inwieweit der Autor gehen darf, um seine Rezipienten zu amüsieren und ob es ihm trotz der Verstöße gegen alle möglichen Regeln und Normen gelingt, das Publikum zum Lachen zu bringen. Diese Erwägungen werden mit den Sketchbeispielen aus Was guckst du? und Mensch, Markus! belegt. Die Frage nach den Grenzen des guten Geschmacks bleibt jedoch immer noch offen, weil die Interpretation jedes Textes, auch des humoristischen, keinen objektiven Charakter hat und immer nur etwas Subjektives ist.In this article is attempted to discuss the aesthetic category of taste in relation to the joke. Important and particularly interesting is also the extent to which the author may go to amuse his recipients and whether he succeeds despite violations of all sorts of possible rules and standards in making the audience laugh. These considerations are covered in the sketch examples from Was guckst du? and Mensch, Markus! However, the question about the boundaries of good taste still remains open, because the interpretation of each text, also the humorous, has no objective character and is always subjective.Udostępnienie publikacji Wydawnictwa Uniwersytetu Łódzkiego finansowane w ramach projektu „Doskonałość naukowa kluczem do doskonałości kształcenia”.

Advanced law enforcement and response technology
No full textImprovements for an ALERT��-type vehicle-based control system are described. The improvements encompass the use of a multiple control unit architecture for more efficient processing of user interface functions and device commands. The improved architecture allows one control unit to manage the control functions for a first device set. The second, or subsequent, control unit offloads the management of device control functions from the first control unit. Devices and methods are also described for incorporating the control system into a vehicle data bus, such as the IDB.U
What really matters? The elusive quality of the material in feminist thought
No full textThe concept of the 'material' was the focus of much feminist work in the 1970s. It has always been a deeply contested one, even for feminists working within a broadly materialist paradigm of the social. Materialist feminists stretched the concept of the material beyond the narrowly economic in their attempts to develop a social ontology of gender and sexuality. Nonetheless, the quality of the social asserted by an expanded sense of the material - its 'materiality' - remains ambiguous. New terminologies of materiality and materialization have been developed within post-structuralist feminist thought and the literature on embodiment. The quality of 'materiality' is no longer asserted - as in materialist feminisms - but is problematized through an implicit deferral of ontology in these more contemporary usages, forcing us to interrogate the limits of both materialist and post-structuralist forms of constructionism. What really matters is how these newer terminologies of 'materiality' and 'materialization' induce us to develop a fuller social ontology of gender and sexuality; one that weaves together social, cultural, experiential and embodied practices

No full textWahn, Witz und Wirklichkeit : Poetik und Episteme des Wahns vor 1800
No full textDer Wahn vor der Zeit des Wahnsinns war Wissensform und Mittel der Selbsterkenntnis, Begründung einer Poetik des Wirklichen und Bedingung von gesellschaftlicher Kommunikation. Vor 1800, der Zeit vor dem Wahnsinn, ist im Begriff »Wahn« die Perspektivität der Wahrnehmung, die Aspekthaftigkeit der Wirklichkeit und die Zeitlichkeit der Dinge gefasst. In Verbindung mit dem »Witz«, dem intellektuellen Scharfsinn, wird der Wahn zu einem Instrument des kreativen Imaginierens, der Erkenntnis und Weltdeutung sowie der Selbstreflexion. Sein Medium ist die Sprache, in erster Linie dann auch die verschriftlichte Sprache. So lässt sich eine Wahn-Poetik erkennen, die eng mit Imaginations- und Wirklichkeitskonzepten sowie Wissens- und Gesprächskulturen des Mittelalters und der Frühen Neuzeit verbunden ist
