Entre ruínas, as artes

Partindo do texto de Bill Readings, A Universidade em ruínas, procuro enunciar algumas das questões que caracterizam o debate académico sobre a investigação em artes, assinalando as relações entre o capitalismo académico que marca o turn mercantil a que a universidade, sob o olhar neo-liberal, vem sendo submetida e as linhas de uma “política de investigação” para as artes, a situar no quadro da “comunidade de pensamento” proposta por Readings e da renovação dos paradigmas do saber de que as artes se reclamam

Conferência Internacional Tadeusz Kantor 1915 - 2015

Em 2015 passam cem anos sobre o nascimento de Tadeusz Kantor, ocasião para celebrar o trabalho do grande criador polaco, procurando aprofundar o conhecimento da sua posição no contexto do teatro polaco, assim como as consequências da sua presença no mundo, ponderando o impacto da sua extraordinária obra teatral. No incondicional modernismo da sua criação, Kantor constitui uma herança artística de importância maior para a criação do século XX, dimensão que a Conferência procura, justamente, celebrar, com o contributo de key-peakers como Michal Kobialka ou Magda Romanska. Uma mesa-redonda com jovens criadores, um workshop de formação inspirado em Kantor, bem como a apresentação de trabalhos no programa de criação 'kantorage' completam os trabalhos da conferência

Perspectivas da Investigação e(m) Artes: Articulações

A constituição do campo das artes no contexto universitário não isola as actividades adjacentes que o constituem. Numa perspectiva sistémica, de resto, uma definição desse campo não pode não incluir essas actividades, estabelecendo entre a criação artística e a sua recepção, ensino, teorização, investigação e circulação vínculos sistémicos incontornáveis. Procuramos aqui essas relações sob o signo da articulação e procuramos com a organização desta conferência evidenciaras relações sistémicas entre investigação e ensino; entre docência e criação artística; entre práticas artísticas e práticas profissionais; entre teoria e prática; entre sistemas de avaliação e crítica; entre modos de transmissão e apropriação

The Tragedy of the Anti-Commons: A New Problem. An Application to the Fisheries.

The operation and management of common property resources (“the commons”) have been exhaustively examined in economics and political science, both in formal analysis and in practical applications. “Tragedy of the Commons” metaphor helps to explain why people overuse shared resources. On the other side, Anti-Commons Theory is a recent theory presented by scientists to explain several situations about new Property Rights concerns. An “anti-commons” problem arises when there are multiple rights to exclude. Little attention has been given to the setting where more than one person is assigned with exclusion rights, which may be exercised. We analyze the “anti-commons” problem in which resources are inefficiently underutilized rather than over-utilized as in the familiar commons setting. In fact, these two problems are symmetrical in several aspects.Anti-Commons Theory; Property Rights

Controller Area Network

Controller Area Network (CAN) is a popular and very well-known bus system, both in academia and in industry. CAN protocol was introduced in the mid eighties by Robert Bosch GmbH [7] and it was internationally standardized in 1993 as ISO 11898-1 [24]. It was initially designed to distributed automotive control systems, as a single digital bus to replace traditional point-to-point cables that were growing in complexity, weight and cost with the introduction of new electrical and electronic systems. Nowadays CAN is still used extensively in automotive applications, with an excess of 400 million CAN enabled microcontrollers manufactured each year [14]. The widespread and successful use of CAN in the automotive industry, the low cost asso- ciated with high volume production of controllers and CAN's inherent technical merit, have driven to CAN adoption in other application domains such as: industrial communications, medical equipment, machine tool, robotics and in distributed embedded systems in general. CAN provides two layers of the stack of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) reference model: the physical layer and the data link layer. Optionally, it could also provide an additional application layer, not included on the CAN standard. Notice that CAN physical layer was not dened in Bosch original specication, only the data link layer was dened. However, the CAN ISO specication lled this gap and the physical layer was then fully specied. CAN is a message-oriented transmission protocol, i.e., it denes message contents rather than nodes and node addresses. Every message has an associated message identier, which is unique within the whole network, dening both the content and the priority of the message. Transmission rates are dened up to 1 Mbps. The large installed base of CAN nodes with low failure rates over almost two decades, led to the use of CAN in some critical applications such as Anti-locking Brake Systems (ABS) and Electronic Stability Program (ESP) in cars. In parallel with the wide dissemination of CAN in industry, the academia also devoted a large eort to CAN analysis and research, making CAN one of the must studied eldbuses. That is why a large number of books or book chapters describing CAN were published. The rst CAN book, written in French by D. Paret, was published in 1997 and presents the CAN basics [32]. More implementation oriented approaches, including CAN node implementation and application examples, can be found in Lorenz [28] and in Etschberger [16], while more compact descriptions of CAN can be found in [11] and in some chapters of [31]. Despite its success story, CAN application designers would be happier if CAN could be made faster, cover longer distances, be more deterministic and more dependable [34]. Over the years, several protocols based in CAN were presented, taking advantage of some CAN properties and trying to improve some known CAN drawbacks. This chapter, besides presenting an overview of CAN, describes also some other relevant higher level protocols based on CAN, such as CANopen [13], DeviceNet [6], FTT-CAN [1] and TTCAN [25]
