Materia-autore = Author-Matter
No full textThe etymology of the word author refers to an act of creation, an act of augmentation, from the Latin verb augere. Author instantiates creation, the expansion of the pre-existing. In 1967 Roland Barthes declared the death of the author in his famous essay to state once more that the crisis is that of the author as a single subjectivity and as a term that condenses prestige, undermined by the de-subjectivation strategies of automatism, fortuity and fragmentation of the historical avant-gardes, as well as by the machinic act and by the reproducibility of the second avant-gardes.
Fifty years after Barthes’ paradigmatic formula, this lack of authorship appears to be a successful brand. The ten- sions between the anomie of matter, the law that establishes authorship and the economy that makes the work pos- sible, invoke discordant perspectives. Artists make the self-destruction of their work the real work, and appeal is made for the demolition of architectures, whether by a recognised author or not, in order to re-design, or better still, re-claim the territory. Artificial intelligence consolidates its logics and its design by progressively shedding human ingenuity. The space of criticism becomes, finally, increasingly ephemeral. However, there is an acceptation of criti- cism that is, rather than an individual ‘signature’, an exploration and explanation of how design makes theory.
The binomial author-matter seeks to mark these tensions and contradictions: the featured term author is main- tained to underline the persistence of that prestigious subjectivity, at the very moment when the rhetoric of “mat- ter as an author” promises other forms of authorship

Deliberation and journalism
No full textThe first chapter in 'International Journalism and Democracy' re-examines current ideas about the role of journalism in promoting democracy, introducing the concept of "deliberative journalism". 'Deliberation and Journalism' lists the ways in which journalists can assist deliberation and politics in communities around the world. The chapter defines deliberation as a specific form of conversation that precedes and promotes decision-making and action by members of a community. The author recognises the difficulty of engaging in deliberation in communities that are divided by different interests, identities, backgrounds, resources and needs. She provides examples of strategies that journalists can use to encourage inclusive and productive deliberation in the face of community diversity.\ud

The chapter introduces examples of types of deliberative journalism that have emerged around the globe. These include strategies that have been sometimes been labeled as public journalism, civic journalism, peace journalism, development journalism, citizen journalism, the street press, community journalism, environmental journalism, and social entrepreneurism. The chapter also includes models of journalism that have not yet been given any particular name. Although the book identifies problems surrounding the theory and practice of these forms of journalism, the author notes that this is to be expected. Most models of deliberative journalism are relatively new, with none being more than a few decades old. The author concludes that resolution of these problems will only occur incrementally
NEW ANILINO TROPONE-BASED TITANIUM COMPLEXES: SYNTHESIS, CHARACTERIZATION AND APPLICATION AS CATALYST FOR OLEFIN POLYMERIZATION
No full textNew titanium(IV) dichloride complexes containing 2-anilinotropone ligands have been synthesized and characterized. Bis(ligand) titanium dichloride complexes 1 and 2 were synthesized from reaction of TiCl4(THF)(2) with 2 equivalents of the corresponding sodium salts of 2-(2,6-diisopropylanilino) tropone (L1) and 2-(2,3,4,5,6-pentafluoroanilino)tropone (L2), respectively. The mixed cyclopentadienyl-anilinotropone compound 3 was synthesized by reaction of the lithium salt of L2 with CpTiCl3. The Cp-mixed mu-O bimetallic complex 4 was also isolated as a by-product owing to the adventitious presence of moisture. The molecular structures of 1 - 4 have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. Complexes 1 and 2 are isostructural and exhibit a C-2-symmetric octahedral geometry, with a trans (N, N), cis (O, O) arrangement in complex 1, but with a trans (O, O), cis (N, N) arrangement in complex 2. The Cp-mixed complex 3 has a distorted square-pyramidal structure with the Cp ligand in the apical position. Bimetallic complex 4 shows a similar coordination geometry for the five-coordinate titanium atom and a pseudo-tetrahedral coordination for the second metallic centre. All new complexes, when activated with methylaluminoxane, are active in the polymerization of ethylene and propene
Self-collision avoidance in bimanual teleoperation using CollisionIK: algorithm revision and usability experiment
No full textSpectroscopic investigation on 1,2-substituted ferrocenes with only planar chirality: how chiroptical data are related to absolute configuration and to substituents
No full textSingle enantiomers of three 1,2-substituted ferrocene derivatives, i.e. 1-methoxymethyl-2-hydroxyme
thylferrocene (1), 1-formyl-2-hydroxymethylferrocene (2) and 1-iodo-2-hydroxymethylferrocene (3),
sharing the common hydroxymethyl substituent and the presence of planar chirality only, were investigated
for their spectroscopic (IR and UV) and chiroptical (VCD and ECD) properties. Both enantiomers of 1
were obtained for the first time in optically pure form by lipase-catalyzed kinetic resolution of the corresponding
racemate (±)-1 and separately converted into formyl derivatives (+)-2 and (–)-2.
The experimental spectroscopic and chiroptical data were compared with DFT calculated spectra and
excellent correspondence was found for all compounds, allowing one to confirm the previously assigned
absolute configurations. The common features in the VCD spectra of a doublet between 940 and 965 cm1
and the short-wavelength (about 200 nm) doublet and the longest wavelength band in the ECD spectra
were analyzed to test whether they may be taken as markers of the absolute configuration (AC). The predominance
of conformers with intramolecular hydrogen bond for the first two investigated compounds is
predicted by conformational analysis and also confirmed by NMR
