Past and future sea-level rise along the coast of North Carolina, USA
No full textWe evaluate relative sea level (RSL) trajectories for North Carolina, USA, in the context of tide-gauge measurements and geological sea-level proxy reconstructions spanning the last ∼11,000 years. RSL rise was fastest (∼7 mm/yr) during the early Holocene and slowed over time with the end of the deglaciation. During the pre-Industrial Common Era (i.e., 0–1800 CE), RSL rise (∼0.7 to 1.1 mm/yr) was driven primarily by glacio-isostatic adjustment, though dampened by tectonic uplift along the Cape Fear Arch. Ocean/atmosphere dynamics caused centennial variability of up to ∼0.6 mm/yr around the long-term rate. It is extremely likely (probability P = 0.95) that 20th century RSL rise at Sand Point, NC, (2.8 ± 0.5 mm/yr) was faster than during any other century in at least 2,900 years. Projections based on a fusion of process models, statistical models, expert elicitation, and expert assessment indicate that RSL at Wilmington, NC, is very likely (P = 0.90) to rise by 42–132 cm between 2000 and 2100 under the high-emissions RCP 8.5 pathway. Under all emission pathways, 21st century RSL rise is very likely (P > 0.90) to be faster than during the 20th century. Due to RSL rise, under RCP 8.5, the current ‘1-in-100 year’ flood is expected at Wilmington in ∼30 of the 50 years between 2050-2100.The final publication is available at Springer via http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s10584-015-1451-xPeer reviewe
Perspectiva filosófica de Giorgio Agamben a respeito da noção de recordação em Walter Benjamin
No full textResumo: A finalidade deste artigo é colocar os termos de uma problemática da transmissibilidade, relacionada à categoria da imagem, no interior da filosofia de Walter Benjamin a partir da perspectiva filosófica de Giorgio Agamben. Para o autor só é possível fugir das armadilhas da instrumentalização representacional da história – tarefa esta proposta por Benjamin – a partir de uma verdadeira apreensão do passado – o que consiste, teoricamente, em convergir filosofia, ética e poesia. A categoria chave para pôr em vigor os termos de um potenciamento do passado é a recordação, concepção que opera as noções de potência e facticidade no interior da experiência histórica.Palavras-chave: recordação; Walter Benjamin; Giorgio Agamben; imagem.Abstract: The purpose of this article it is to put the terms of a problematic of transmissibility, related to the category of image, within the philosophy of Walter Benjamin from the philosophical perspective of Giorgio Agamben. To the author, it is only possible to escape from the traps of representational instrumentalisation of history - the task proposed by Benjamin - from a real apprehension of the past - which theoretically consists in converging philosophy, ethics and poetry. The key category to bring into force the terms of a past empowerment is the recall, conception that operates the notions of potency and facticity within historical experience.Keywords: remembrance; Walter Benjamin; Giorgio Agamben; image.</jats:p
Nietzsche's Nihilism in Walter Benjamin
No full textIl libro ricostruisce gli elementi che Walter Benjamin riprende da Nietzsche nel definire tanto la sua teoria dell'arte di avanguardia che il suo approccio alla azione politica. Il lavoro vuole definire la linea eccentrica del discorso filosofico di Benjamin nella rappresentazione del moderno come "luogo di catastrofe permanente", in cui egli tenta di superare il nihilism nietzscheano attraverso la "debole speranza messianica". Il libro analizza le figure che Benjamin usa nel Passagen-Werk (Baudelaire, Marx, Aragon, Proust e Blanqui) come allegorie per spiegare molti aspetti della modernità. Il carattere distruttivo del moderno è un concetto che Benjamin riprende in parte da Nietzsche, in parte da Marx, in parte da Scholem e dalla mistica ebraica. Il libro si sofferma sulla metodologia benjaminiana di "strappare" immagini e concetti dal loro contesto per ricomporli in un discorso filosofico del tutto diverso.he book recontructs the lines of Nihilism that Walter Benjamin took from Friedrich Nietzsche that define both his theory of art and the avant-garde, and his approach to political action. It retraces the eccengtric route of Benjamin's philosophical discourse in the rapresentation of the modern as a place of "permanent catstrophe", where he attempts to overcome the Nietschean Nihilism through messianic hope. The book analyses how Benjamin's Arcades Project uses figures as Baudelaire, Maex, Aragon, Proust and Blanqui as allegories to explain many aspects of modernity. The author argues that Benjamin uses Baudelaire as a paradigm to emphasize the dark side of the modern era, offering us a key to the interpretation of communicative and cultural trend of today
