Wachheit. La (ri)comparsa del tema della vigilanza nella presentazione dell’ermeneutica gadameriana degli anni Ottanta
No full textIn the 1986 edition of Wahrheit und Methode Gadamer starts to describe the role of his hermeneutics in terms of «vigilance (Wachheit)», being awake, rather than in those of «task (Aufgabe)». Starting from this point, the author shows that this idea is not a new one in Gadamer's thought: the theme of the Wachheit is taken from the essay Praktischen Wissen, written by Gadamer in 1930 and published in 1985. The re-thinking of the concept of Wachheit influences Gadamer's last works, where phronesis is described like a Wachheit of the practical reason

Design, Democracy and Work: Exploring the Scandinavian Participatory Design Tradition
No full textThis talk will explore traditions of worker orientated design in Scandinavia and reflect on the ways in which design might still contribute to a more social just workplace.
Pelle Ehn has been one of the most important figures in the development of worker orientated design, participatory planning and democratic design in Scandinavia. Author of Manifesto for a Digital Bauhaus (1998) and Making Futures: Marginal Notes on Innovation, Design, and Democracy (MIT Press, 2014), he is a professor at the School of Arts and Communication, Malmö University, Sweden
Rapid identification of differentially expressed genes in trypanosomes
No full textMembers of the genus Trypanosoma, within the order Kinetoplastida, are unicellular parasitic organisms which are a major threat to human health and livestock productivity in large areas of the developing world. Despite their relatively small genome size, these primitive organisms undergo complex life cycles, are capable of controlling their rates of proliferation at different stages, can modulate the immune system of their mammalian hosts, and, more recently, have been shown to undergo programmed cell death (see Ameisen et al. 1995; Vickerman 1985; Zilberstein and Shapira 1994). Many of the molecular features and processes of these organisms provide paradigms for eukaryotic biology (see Adler and Hajduk 1994; Bonen 1993; Gonners-Ampt and Borst 1995; Pays et al. 1994; Simpson and Maslov 1994; Tschudi and Ullu 1994). To gain a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in the control of differentiation of these intriguing and deadly organisms we have developed a differential display PCR method, dubbed randomly amplified differentially expressed sequences (RADES), for the rapid identification of differentially expressed trypanosome or leishmania genes (Murphy and Pelle 1994)
CD/CF II Symposium: Design Thinking and Future Making or Democratic Design Experiments (In the Small)?
No full textWith design thinking successful entrepreneurs in hubris claim to design, innovate and make a prosperous and even democratic ”future” for us all. But what if this is only a dominant ideology and hegemonic power in disguise, disciplining and eventually threatening our lives? This conversation, with a dash of melancholia, explores less successful still hopeful situated counter examples of co-designed marginal futures made in the small and by the many . The examples range from creative communities in less favorable neighborhoods, to maker spaces as genuine collaborative forms of production, to democracy revitalized through imaginative public engagements.

Not So Safe Europeans: Interrogating Identities and Photographic Conventions in Pelle Kronestedt’s Safe European
No full textThis paper addresses the intersection of European photography and European identity through a discussion of Safe European; a photographic project on identity and youth unemployment by Swedish photographer Pelle Kronestedt. In an analy¬sis informed by semiotics and work on the political rhetoric of photography; the author argues that; through display in an unusual exhibition locale and an unexpected focus for a documentary photographic project on such a subject; Safe European subverts expectations and raises questions about photographic repre¬sentation and cultural attitude</p
