La questione dell'ordine spaziale nel pensiero di Kant. Logica, estetica, orientamento.
Full text linkil lavoro si occupa di indagare le diverse forme di ordine spaziale (estetico, metafisico, geografico e logico) che animano la riflessione critica kantiana. La tesi è divisa in tre parti. Nel corso della prima parte cerco di individuare i punti di contatto tra i diversi contesti in cui Kant fa riferimento ad una forma spaziale d’ordine. Seguendo il filo conduttore della semantica spaziale e della lex coordinandi che regola l’ordine e la disposizione degli oggetti nello spazio, mi muovo attraverso l’Esposizione metafisica del concetto di spazio per approdare ad alcune riflessioni antropologiche (sul tema del sogno) ed estetiche (sul tema del sublime che eccede la nostra misura ad occhio). Lo scopo di questa perlustrazione è rispondere a un interrogativo fondamentale: come e dove si incontrano le diverse esperienze dello spazio e la loro connotazione ordinata?
Nella seconda parte della tesi mi concentro sul rapporto che intercorre tra le forme dell’esperienza spaziale e la spazializzazione del metodo filosofico. Se, come sosteneva Neal Gilbert, a partire dal Rinascimento il concetto di ordo è assimilabile a quello di metodo, in Kant l’ordine e l’unità della filosofia assumono la forma di un esperimento cartografico, condotto a partire dall’assunzione di un particolare punto di vista: il menschlicher Standpunkt. Pertanto, attraverso l’analisi di alcune metafore prospettiche (come Weg, Grenze, Horizont e Orientierung) ho provato a determinare il ruolo della rappresentazione spaziale all’interno del metodo critico. Quindi, mi sono occupato di mettere in rilievo in che misura i modelli della sfera e della mappa interagiscano con la ragione cartografica di Kant, contribuendo a determinare il significato che egli attribuisce ai concetti sistematici di architettonica e di enciclopedia. Particolare attenzione viene riservata all’aspetto immaginativo che alimenta la rappresentazione del mondo di Kant e ai concetti chiave che hanno orientato la sua attività di professore di geografia.
Infine, nella terza parte mi concentro su di un caso particolare di spazializzazione dei pensieri: la topica, un dispositivo per l’ordinamento della conoscenza, che gioca un ruolo decisivo per la comprensione delle tavole kantiane (la Tavola dei giudizi e la Tavola delle categorie) e per il significato attribuito loro in riferimento al concetto di sistema. Partendo dall’origine mnemotecnica dei loci topici e dal loro legame con la nascita delle prime mapping skills, ho seguito le sopravvivenze della topica nella logica degli umanisti, cercando di determinare in che modo essa abbia assunto in Kant lo specifico ruolo di strumento euristico per la scoperta e di dispositivo architettonico per l’organizzazione sistematica della filosof
Legacy of manuscripts of Stanisław Morawski stored in Vilnius libraries
No full textVilniaus universiteto auklėtinio, gydytojo ir rašytojo, ypač pagarsėjusio savo memuarine kūryba Stanislovo Moravskio (1802–1853) rankraštinis palikimas kadaise sudarė kelias dešimtis tomų ir sąsiuvinių. Po jo mirties daugelis rankraščių buvo paviešinti. 1944 m. per Varšuvos sukilimą subombardavus Krasinskio biblioteką rankraščiai sudegė. Šiandien galime disponuoti ir S. Moravskio darbų registru, kuriame nustatyta, kad memuaristo kūrybinį palikimą sudarė dvidešimt vienas tekstas, tarp jų ir niekuomet nespausdinti. Straipsnio autorei pavyko rasti dalį laikomų dingusiais S. Moravskio tekstų, juodraštinius jų variantus Lietuvos nacionalinės Martyno Mažvydo bibliotekos, Lietuvos mokslų akademijos bibliotekos ir Vilniaus universiteto bibliotekos rankraštynuose. Aptikti juodraščiai staiga išryškino itin nemalonią aplinkybę: autentiški Stanislovo Moravskio tekstai iš tikrųjų mums buvo nežinomi, nes juos skelbiant tekstai buvo kupiūruojami. Daugiausia žalos padarė pagrindiniai S. Moravskio kūrybos leidėjai A. Czartkowskis ir H. Mošcickis, kurie su memuaristo rankraščiais iš tikrųjų elgėsi kaip su savo nuosavybe, be jokių skrupulų – ne tik juos „karpė“, bet ir keitė jų sistemą. Straipsnyje aptarti rankraščiai užpildo pagrindines ligi šiol egzistavusias S. Moravskio kūrybinio palikimo spragas. Kol kas vis dar nerasta jo studija „Keletas minčių apie sąmojį“ (Kilka myśli o dowcipie). Nėra žinomas ir 1850 m. pabaigoje – 1851 m. pradžioje S. Moravskio nurašytas ir perpieštas senos lietuviškos kronikos rankraštis. Akivaizdu, kad jeigu šie tekstai vis dar yra, tai jų reikia ieškoti Vilniaus rankraštynuose. Reikšminiai žodžiai: Biblioteka; Laiškai; Moravskis, Stanislovas; Rankraštis; Stanislovas Moravskis; Vilnius; 19 amžius; „Civilizuotų moterų fiziognomikos pagrindai“; „Dainos“; „Egoizmas“; „Politinės fantazijos“; „Ustronės Atsiskyrėlio pastabos apie 1848 metų įvykius“; 19th century; Letter; Library; Manuscript; Moravskis, Stanislovas; Morawski, Stanislaw; Stanislaw Morawski; Vilnius; Wilno; „Egoizm“; „Piesni“; „Polityczne mrzonki“; „Uwagi Pustelnika w Ustroniu o wypadkach 1848 roku“; „Zasady fizyognomiki kobiet cywilizowanych“The manuscript heritage of Stanisław Morawski (1802–1853), a student of Vilnius University, doctor and writer, who was particularly famous for his memoir works, once consisted of several dozens of volumes and notebooks. After his death many manuscripts were made public. In 1944, when Krasiński Library was bombarded during the Warsaw Uprising, the manuscripts burnt up. Today the registry of Morawski’s works is also available; according to it, twenty-one texts, including texts that have not been published before, constitute the creative heritage of the memoirist. The author of the paper managed to find part of Morawski’s texts that had been considered lost – their draft versions – in the Manuscript Departments of Martynas Mažvydas National Library of Lithuania, the Library of the Lithuanian Academy of Sciences and the Library of Vilnius University. Found draft texts unexpectedly pointed out a particularly unpleasant circumstance: the authentic texts of Morawski were actually unknown to us, because they were expurgated when publishing. The main publishers of Morawski – A. Czartkowski and H. Mościcki – made the greatest damage. They handled the memoirist’s manuscripts like their own property, without scruples; they not only “cut” them, but also changed their system. The manuscripts discussed in the paper fill in the gaps of Morawski’s creative heritage. His study “Kilka myśli o dowcipie” [Some Thoughts about Wit] has not yet been found. A manuscript of the old Lithuanian chronicle, copied and redrawn by Morawski at the turn of 1850–1851 is not known. If these texts still exist, they should be obviously searched in the manuscript departments of Vilnius
Auto/ethno/graphies as Teaching Lives: An Aesthetics of Difference
No full textIn the midst of the everyday of academia, two teaching lives collide in an office doorway, tentatively exchanging stories of students' language "art"-each sparked by the other's interest in the aesthetic of pedagogy. These intersectings of "knowing and not knowing" conspire in our lives to begin a daunting journey of evoking in teachers-to-be aesthetic possibilities in the teaching of language arts. We share the personal scriptings and scripts of our teaching lives, exposing both the vulnerabilities and the possibilities of the arts for our selves and our students in the pre-service language arts classroom. We draw from qualitative methodologies that work with biography, autobiography, and ethnography settling with "auto/ethno/graphy" to unsettle the scripts of hegemonic discourse. Clear your desk.

Orientation and Cartographic Imagination in the Age of the Digital Earth. Notes Toward an Aesthetics of Google Earth
No full textMy research aims at framing the epistemological transformations caused by the fast diffusion of the geo-media and their digital cartographic systems. Its concern is twofold: On the one hand, I plan to retrace the cartographic genealogy of the Digital Earth by outlining some of the points of emergence of the Earthly vision, a pictorial imagination characterized by the view of the Earth as a whole; on the other hand, I intend to examine how the formation of spatial environments connected with the Whole-Earth medialization has extended the performative capacities of our “cartographic imagination” toward interactive forms of orientation. As a theoretical framework, the article favours a genealogical account, considering maps as media in which our mythical geographies are incarnated, and, at the same time, as a source of a history of cultural representation that encodes subject
"Not only flowing with milk and honey..." : service of certified lieutenant colonel Marian Morawski (1892-1945) in the army of the Second Republic : an outline of a biography
Full text linkThe article outlines the biography of an officer in the Polish Army of the Second Republic of Poland, Lieutenant Colonel Marian Morawski. Through this text, M. Morawski is another restored descendant of the Polish pre-war army. He was born at the end of the 19th century in Pruszków near Warsaw, he probably planned to engage in trade in the future, but the outbreak of World War I made M. Morawski join the ranks of the tsarist army. After the end of the global conflict, he joined the resurgent army of the Second Polish Republic, holding various functions. In 1938, for health reasons, he was transferred to the reserve, and after the Polish campaign of 1939, he was taken prisoner by the Soviets, where attempts were made to obtain him for the construction of Polish troops at the Red Army. After the Sikorski-Majski pact, he went to the West. He died in 1945 in Cairo

Have we all turned into flatlanders? Mapping and human complexity
No full textAssuming mapping as the original model from which digital revolution comes, the essay traces the lineage of its latest developments (Big Data, AI) trying to expose how the basic plasticity of human intelligence – a crucial evolutionary asset for the greatest part of human history – is getting more and more reduced, being aligned to the standards of computing logic, generating social environments increasingly deterministic
