The "empty place" of power Claude Lefort as an interpreter of democratic uncertainty
No full textopenIl pensatore politico, come afferma Claude Lefort, non può sottrarsi al compito di interrogare il proprio tempo, né evitare l’enigma che il presente gli impone. Questa tesi si confronta con la contingenza della nostra epoca, attraversata da un’incertezza strutturale che mette alla prova le forme della democrazia contemporanea. Il lavoro si propone di indagare alcune categorie centrali del pensiero lefortiano: la rilettura della conflittualità politica come elemento costitutivo della democrazia e l’analisi del totalitarismo, inteso sia come reazione estrema all’instabilità democratica, sia come suo prolungamento fantasmatico. L’obiettivo è comprendere come preservare la democrazia dalla minaccia di derive assolutistiche e dalla concentrazione del potere, pericoli quanto mai attuali per la nostra società contrassegnata dall’omologazione di massa e dalla tecnica. La tesi delinea infine un approccio critico della questione, sottolineando come l’incertezza che attraversa l’epoca democratica richieda una riscoperta della politica come libertà ,la quale, non è mai semplice affermazione del sé contro gli altri, piuttosto, ciò che si realizza nel suo essere insieme agli altri.As Claude Lefort argues, the political thinker cannot avoid the task of interrogating their own time, nor evade the enigma posed by the present. This thesis engages with the contingency of our age, marked by a structural uncertainty that puts contemporary forms of democracy to the test. The work aims to investigate some of the central categories in Lefort’s thought: the reinterpretation of political conflict as a constitutive element of democracy, and the analysis of totalitarianism as both an extreme reaction to democratic instability and its phantasmatic prolongation. The goal is to understand how to preserve democracy from the threat of absolutist drifts and power centralization—dangers that are particularly pressing in today’s society, shaped by mass conformity and technological dominance. Finally, the thesis outlines a critical approach to the issue, emphasizing how the uncertainty that permeates the democratic era calls for a rediscovery of politics as freedom—one that is never merely the assertion of the self against others, but rather something that is realized in being together with others

« Face chevaline » et « tête d’échassier » : la caricature anthropozoomorphe dans l’œuvre de Claude Simon
No full textDe nombreux personnages simoniens sont décrits selon des procédés de déconstruction largement employés dans la caricature : la distorsion des traits de leur visage et leur disproportion anatomique les dotent de caractéristiques physiques animales et les métamorphosent en figures hybrides. Pour autant, le caractère satirique de la caricature animalière réalisée dans les descriptions simoniennes pose question, dans la mesure où l’auteur revendique de ne pas être un moraliste. L’article se propose ainsi d’interroger l’influence de la caricature anthropozoomorphe du xixe siècle sur l’écriture de Claude Simon, à la fois dans ses dimensions esthétique et éthique, entre effet de collage, satire sceptique et figures grotesques.Many Claude Simon’s characters are described with deconstructive processes widely used in caricature. The distortion of their facial features and their anatomical disproportion endow them with animal characteristics and metamorphose them into hybrid figures. However, Claude Simon’s animal caricatures are not necessarily of a satirical nature, since the author claims not to be a moralist. This article explores the question of the influence of anthropozoomorphic nineteenth-century caricature on Claude Simon’s writing both in its aesthetic and ethical dimensions, between collage effect, sceptical satire and grotesque figures
Claude Simon, un écrivain « romanesque » ? Figures et postures de l’auteur dans l’œuvre, dans la théorie et dans les médias
No full textDans les romans de Claude Simon, les représentations de la figure de l’auteur constituent autant d’avatars, de modèles ou contremodèles possibles. Dans ses écrits théoriques et ses interventions médiatiques, Simon a également construit une théorie de l’auteur qui fait écho à ces figures fictives. Cet ensemble transversal et cohérent finit par générer une image de Claude Simon lui-même et de la conception simonienne du romancier, dans un jeu romanesque entre vie et œuvre, entre fictif et biographique.In Claude Simon’s novels, the representations of the figures of the author are made of so many avatars, models or counter-models. In his theoretical essays and his media activities, Simon has also built a theory of the author which echoes these fictional figures. This coherent and transversal whole builds up a picture of Simon himself and also gives a picture of the conception of Simon as a novelist, setting a novelistic game closely intertwined between life and the work and between fictional and biographical
Corps de l’écrivain et érotisme littéraire chez Claude Simon
No full textDe Triptyque (1973) au Jardin des Plantes (1997), l’écriture de Claude Simon a connu d’importantes évolutions. Cet article le montre en étudiant ce qui a trait au corps dans ces deux romans. Le corps est en effet un analyseur méconnu de la poétique simonienne et de ses mutations au fil de l’œuvre. La lecture des deux romans donne à voir que le corps de l’écrivain en tant que tel est porté par une exigence d’autonomie scripturale toujours plus forte, qui fait de l’écriture la matière même d’un engagement spécifiquement littéraire. Dans Le Jardin des Plantes, cet engagement anime l’écrivain à telle enseigne qu’il le porte à relever le défi d’un érotisme littéraire dont il est non seulement l’auteur, mais l’acteur.From Triptyque (1973) to Le Jardin des Plantes (1997), Claude Simon’s writing underwent major changes. This paper aims to show this by focusing on everything related to the body in these two novels. The body turns out to be an underestimated factor in analysing Simon’s poetical devices throughout his work. The two mentioned novels allow to see that the writer’s body as such is constantly sustained by an ever increasing demand for its autonomy, which turns Simon’s writing into the very matter of a specifically literary commitment. In Le Jardin des Plantes, this commitment impels the novelist to the extent it leads him to address the challenge of a literary eroticism, in which he is involved not only as an author, but as an actor
Numerical study of the influence of Geometrical Parameters on flow in water Pump-Sump
No full textWater for irrigation, domestic and industrial supply as well for some power generation is normally drawn directly from rivers or from reservoir through sumps. The flow at the pump section sump may have large effects on the pump performances and the operating conditions. The flow patterns in the sump are mainly determined by the shape and scale of the sump. However, it’s not always possible to design a sump pump to provide uniform and stable flow to pumps, due to site constraints. For example in some cases air entraining (surface and subsurface vortex) occurs. These vortices may reduce pump performances and lead to increase plant operating costs. It becomes essential to investigate the pump sump to avoid these non uniformities inlet flow problems. Two approaches (experimental and numerical) are generally followed for such investigation. The numerical approach usually used solves the Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations with a near-wall turbulence model. In the validation of this numerical model, emphasis was placed on the prediction of the number, the location, the size and the strength of the various types of vortices. A previous study done by the same hauteur of this one [1], has shown the influence on a single type of mesh with different cell numbers, different intake pipe depths and different water levels, for two turbulence models closure. The present paper mainly focuses, first, on the effect of pump intake location in the sump and secondly on the effect of several inlet velocity gradients at inlet sump section
