“nelle quartine di Total living è attiva, come oggetto, come installazione, una superficie verbale che, lasciata allo zero assoluto della freddezza pubblicitaria, del vocabolario da rotocalco o soap opera, cade sì in frantumi — ma tirandosi dietro del tutto esplicitamente e strategicamente le retoriche da cui parte” [m.g.]

[…] Sarebbe insomma importante mantenersi attivi rispetto ai modelli di produzione linguistica e alle retoriche della qualità di massa. Tutti gli elementi di tale produzione dovrebbero essere utilizzabili e nessuna immagine, nessun idioletto – con relative scorciatoie, strategie, insidie – dovrebbe beneficiare dell’impunità, per nessun motivo. (Essendo consapevoli – è elementare – che mettere a nudo un linguaggio è sempre mettere a nudo la comunità che in esso si costruisce o si lascia costruire; e che qualsiasi nuovo modo di vedere deve prima istituirsi in un linguaggio appropriato).

The Spiritual Role and Elegant Architecture of Japanese Temples
"Japanese Buddhist temples are more than just a collection of religious buildings. They are tangible theology offering us insights into one of Japan’s main religions."
When I first saw Kinkaku-ji, which is apparently what's in your picture, I was very puzzled.
On the one hand, Japanese were very eager to say it was quite ancient, built in 1399 or so.
On the other hand, it burned down in 1955 and was rebuilt as it stands today.
It puzzled me that they thought of it as the original temple, when it seemed clear to me that it's a modern copy (though apparently a very accurate one).
It's a Ship of Theseus problem: what matters is not so much the continuity of the exact bits of wood and metal, but rather the *cultural* continuity as a national treasure, a Zen temple, unbroken traditions, and so on.
It's sort of a Zen thing: the "real" Kinkaku-ji is not the physical one that you see, but the spiritual one that has long continuity in Japanese culture.

Yup. Actual #nanotechnology is just ‘sexed-up’ #chemistry. The fantasy world described in “Engines of Creation” is the ‘hype’ that I referred to in my earlier commentary.
Richard Feynman was a great theoretical physicist, but like most physicists he had a superficial understanding of chemistry.
‘Molecular (nano) machines’ are the result of *continuous* development of molecular design and synthesis since the molecular structure hypothesis was formulated in 1875.
Jacobus van’t Hoff won the 1st Nobel Prize in #Chemistry. And the 1st #NobelPrize for #nanotechnology (molecules that perform ‘work’ with atomic precision) was awarded for work done in the 1960s.

Kurzwellen (Short Waves), for six players with shortwave radio receivers and live electronics, is a composition by Karlheinz Stockhausen, written in 1968. It is Number 25 in the catalog of the composer’s works.
Aloys Kontarsky, piano; Harald Bojé, electronium; Alfred Alings and Rolf Gehlhaar, tamtam with microphone; Johannes Fritsch, viola; Karlheinz Stockhausen, sound direction.
Conception Kurzwellen is one of a series of works dating from the 1960s which Stockhausen designated as “process” compositions. These works in effect separate the “form” from the “content” by presenting the performers with a series of transformation signs which are to be applied to material that may vary considerably from one performance to the next. In Kurzwellen and three subsequent works (Spiral for a soloist, Pole for two, and Expo for three), this material is to be drawn spontaneously during the performance from short-wave radio broadcasts (Kohl 1981, 192–93). While this separate treatment of the genetic rules for development had existed in Stockhausen’s earlier compositions, the emphasis on the process of transformation and less specificity of what is to be transformed is taken further than ever before in Kurzwellen (Stockhausen 1989, 114). The overall formal process is therefore fixed, whereas the sound materials are extremely variable (Frisius 2008, 224). The processes, indicated primarily by plus, minus, and equal signs, constitute the composition and, despite the unpredictability of the materials, these processes can be heard from one performance to another as being “the same” (Kohl 2010, 137). While the use of radios in concert works dates back at least to 1942 with John Cage’s Credo in Us, and Stockhausen may well have gotten the idea of using radios from Cage, their approaches could not have been more different. For Cage, the type of radio is a matter of indifference, since their purpose is merely to fill in prescribed time units with any sort of sound at all. Stockhausen, on the other hand, prescribed short-wave receivers because of their capability of bringing in broadcasts from far away, and for the rich variety of available sounds. These sounds are also not used indiscriminately: the performers are to search for and select only materials suitable for improvisational transformations (Kohl 2010, 135–37).
Performance practice The composer explained that in pieces like this, “the first step is always that of imitating something and the next step is that of transforming what you’re able to imitate” (Cott 1973, 33). Each performer plays a series of events separated by pauses. An event may be played either with the radio or with an instrument, and it is also possible for a player to accompany an event on an instrument with the radio or vice versa, or to blend both together. Each event has a distinct duration defined by its subdivision into segments with a characteristic rhythm (Rigoni 1998, 235).
Each plus, minus, or equal sign indicates that, upon repetition of an event, the performer is to increase, decrease, or maintain the same level in one of four musical dimensions (or “parameters”): overall duration of the event, number of internal subdivisions, dynamic level, or pitch register/range. It is up to the performer to decide which of these dimensions is to be affected, except that vertically stacked signs must be applied to different parameters. Despite this, a large number of plus signs (for example) will result in successive events becoming longer, more finely subdivided, louder, and either higher or wider in range; a large number of minus signs will produce the reverse effect (Kohl 2010, 137).

Avvenimenti del 1866. Giacomo Pagano, giovane avvocato siciliano, ci racconta la "rivoluzione dei sette e mezzo" del settembre 1866, in maniera asciutta e cronachistica, senza incursioni nella retorica romantica. Si può scaricare gratis, in pdf, da:
“Insegnare Saussure, studiare Saussure“. A cent’anni dalla scomparsa del grande linguista ginevrino, emerge in primo piano l’esigenza di riflettere sugli avanzamenti o le battute di arresto delle scuole e degli studi dedicati all’autore del Cours. Nel convegno di Cosenza si confrontano studiosi giovani e meno giovani che si sono dedicati, con impegno duraturo e appassionato, all’insegnamento di Saussure e alla ricerca sui temi a lui più cari. Non si tratta semplicemente di mappare le università o i dipartimenti dove Saussure viene insegnato e studiato, quanto di presentare linee di ricerca inedite e nuovi motivi di insegnamento. Anziché limitarsi a censire quanto è stato fatto fino ad oggi, queste giornate si concentrano su quanto rimane ancora da fare, nella convinzione che Saussure sia un riferimento indiscusso per le scienze umane che mettono al centro della loro ricerca il segno linguistico, la lingua come sistema e la facoltà di linguaggio.
