Textos sobre violencia: de lo impuro. (Contaminaciones, equĂvocos, temblores)
This article interrogates a certain philosophical scene â one which constitutes itself through the position of what Jacques Derrida calls âthe ethical instance of violence.â In the course of the essay, I analyze this quasi-juridical scene through readings of Aristotle, Walter Benjamin, and Giorgio Agamben among others. The scene, built on texts on texts on violence, demands a logic of purity; it is wary of contaminations and equivocations. And yet it thrives on them. In analyzing the implications of text, writing, and trace for the philosophical discourse on violence, I follow Derrida âjust to seeâ what could make the scene tremble.Este artĂculo interroga cierta escena filosĂłfica âuna que se constituye a travĂ©s de la posiciĂłn de lo que Jacques Derrida llama âla instancia Ă©tica de la violenciaâ. En el curso del ensayo, analizo esta escena cuasi-jurĂdica a travĂ©s de las lecturas de AristĂłteles, Walter Benjamin y Giorgio Agamben, entre otros. La escena, construida sobre textos sobre textos sobre violencia, exige una lĂłgica de la pureza; es recelosa de conta-minaciones y equĂvocos. Y sin embargo, se alimenta de ellos. Analizando las implicaciones del texto, la escritura y la huella para el discurso filosĂłfico sobre la violencia, sigo a Derrida âsolo para verâ que puede hacer temblar esta escena
Scale, Scope, and Specialization Effects on Retailersâ Procurement Strategies: Evidence from the Fresh Produce Markets of SĂŁo Paulo
Worldwide, the emergence of large supermarket chains in food retail markets is often associated with the marginalization of smaller retailers. A notable exception exists in Brazil, however, where small retailers have held their place in the market and recently even gained ground. The literature investigating how retail concentration has affected agrifood chains has focused activities of the largest retail chains, implicitly holding the scale, scope and specialization of retailersâ input needs constant, and overlooking the influence of these factors on retailersâ procurement strategies. This paper tests hypotheses regarding these variablesâ effects on retailersâ fresh produce procurement strategies. Data is drawn from a survey of retailers in metropolitan SĂŁo Paulo. The research results provide insight into factors underlying retailersâ procurement strategy choices and tradeoffs among options. The results support the fundamental hypothesis of the paper that research on the competitive strategies of smaller retailers in a context of market domination by large retailers should not focus exclusively on the degree to which the smaller retailers imitate the larger retailers rather it should account for the possibility that the underlying characteristics of the retailers may make diverse competitive strategies appropriate.scale, scope, specialization, procurement strategy, fresh produce, retail, Political Economy, L22,
Solar Irradiance Anticipative Transformer
This paper proposes an anticipative transformer-based model for short-term
solar irradiance forecasting. Given a sequence of sky images, our proposed
vision transformer encodes features of consecutive images, feeding into a
transformer decoder to predict irradiance values associated with future unseen
sky images. We show that our model effectively learns to attend only to
relevant features in images in order to forecast irradiance. Moreover, the
proposed anticipative transformer captures long-range dependencies between sky
images to achieve a forecasting skill of 21.45 % on a 15 minute ahead
prediction for a newly introduced dataset of all-sky images when compared to a
smart persistence model.Comment: 10 pages, 6 figures, Best Paper submission for CVPR 2023 workshop

New (Internal) Wave Generation - Laboratory Experiments
In this fluid dynamics video, we demonstrate the experimental generation of
various internal wave fields using a novel wave generator. Specifically,
uni-directional internal wave beams and vertical modes 1 and 2 are generated
and visualized using Particle Image Velocimetry. Further details and analysis
of these experiments can be found in [1].Comment: 2 pages, no figures, article linked to a fluid dynamics video

Ă corps: The corpus of deconstruction
This article pursues the exploration of how contemporary works of deconstruction can challenge preconceptions of the body and embodiments and interrogate their limits, particularly in relation to intertwined foldings of desire, gender, race and sexuality. Through readings of Jacques Derrida and Sarah Kofman, the authors show that deconstruction allows for an understanding of the body or bodies that goes beyond the present body â indexed as human, male, white, able, living body â thus opening up towards the thinking of bodies and corporealities exceeding the limitations of Christian transsubstantiation and of the Eucharist.
The deconstructive body is not one of communion; it is one of (self-)interruption, diffĂ©rance and non-presence. It is the other's body â or the body as otherly. The authors then analyse the ethical-political implications of this thinking of another body, one inassimilable by Western metaphysics, and marked by incalculable sexual differences, animality, undecidable life-death, machinicity, monstrosity, and so on
Diferencia sexual, diferencia ideológica : Lecturas a contratiempo (Derrida lector de Marx y Althusser en la década de 1970 y mås allå)
Este ensayo presenta una descripciĂłn de los escritos inĂ©ditos de Jacques Derrida sobre Marx y Louis Althusser en la dĂ©cada de 1970, y un estudio de conceptos como ideologĂa, diferencia sexual, reproducciĂłn, violencia, dominaciĂłn o hegemonĂa en perspectiva deconstructiva. Se trata de pensar en una otra economĂa, mĂĄs allĂĄ de la economĂa del cuerpo propio.

Pas de course. Notes piquĂ©es sur le sĂ©minaire « GREPH. Le concept de lâidĂ©ologie chez les idĂ©ologues français »
Afin dâexaminer la forme et la fonction « cours » dans le corpus de Derrida, je propose une lecture du sĂ©minaire inĂ©dit « GREPH. Le concept de lâidĂ©ologie chez les idĂ©ologues français » (1974-1975). Ce sĂ©minaire fut menĂ© dans le cadre des engagements politico-institutionnels du GREPH (Groupe de recherches sur lâenseignement philosophique). Il constitue donc un point dâentrĂ©e privilĂ©giĂ© pour saisir le rapport complexe que Derrida entretient avec lâenseignement, et plus gĂ©nĂ©ralement avec lâinstitution philosophique. Au cours de ce sĂ©minaire, Derrida sâintĂ©resse au « corps enseignant » en tant quâil fonctionne comme « machine reproductrice » au sein de lâorganisation Ă©conomique gĂ©nĂ©rale de la sociĂ©tĂ©. Courant deux liĂšvres Ă la fois, Derrida mĂȘle une rĂ©flexion gĂ©nĂ©alogique sur lâhistoire de lâenseignement philosophique en France et en Europe Ă une analyse thĂ©orique de concepts marxistes et sociologiques tels que « capital », « reproduction », ou « appareil idĂ©ologique ». Ă travers des lectures dĂ©constructrices et transformatrices de Marx et dâAlthusser, Derrida sâefforce de penser une autre Ă©conomie â une Ă©conomie du texte dĂ©bordant la logique reproductrice quâil identifie aussi bien chez les Ă©conomistes classiques que chez leurs critiques marxistes.In order to examine the form and function of the course in Derridaâs corpus, I propose a reading of the unpublished seminar âGREPH. Le concept de lâidĂ©ologie chez les idĂ©ologues françaisâ (1974-1975). This seminar was given as part of Derridaâs political and institutional engagements within GREPH (Groupe de recherches sur lâenseignement philosophique). As such it offers many insights into Derridaâs complex relationship with teaching and more broadly with the institution of philosophy. In the course of the seminar, Derrida examines the âteaching bodyâ inasmuch as it functions as a âreproductive machineâ within the general economic organization of society. Running on two different tracks at once, Derrida combines a genealogical study of the history of the teaching of philosophy in France and Europe with a theoretical analysis of Marxist and sociological concepts such as âcapitalâ, âreproductionâ, and âideological apparatusâ. Through deconstructive-transformative readings of Marx and Althusser, Derrida proposes to think another economy â an economy of the text exceeding the reproductive logic which he discerns in classical economists as well as in their Marxist critics
Before the Specters: The Memory of a Promise (from the Archives)
This text was prompted by a forum discussing the legacy of Jacques Derridaâs Specters of Marx, twenty-five years after its publication. In this short essay, I explore the bookâs influence on the fields of Marxism, post-Marxism, and beyond. With the problematic of heritage and legacy in mind, I raise the questions of sexual difference and dissemination as that which comes to interrupt the genealogical logic of inheritance understood as filiation and reproduction. I show that Derridaâs book, besides questioning reception and influence, yet remains to be read, especially in light of ongoing archival research on Derridaâs numerous engagements with Marx and Marxist thought in a series of unpublished seminars from the 1970s. This is done more specifically through a reading of an unpublished seminar from 1974-1975, dealing with the Marxian concepts of ideology and division of labor â which Derrida interrogates more particularly in relation to sex, sexuality, and sexual differences.
