A vida na metafísica ocidental: uma intersecção entre Agamben e Nietzsche

TCC(graduação) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina. Centro de Ciências Jurídicas. Direito.Esta monografia tem como objetivo investigar possíveis relações entre a crítica da modernidade na obra de Friedrich Nietzsche e a teoria do estado de exceção de Giorgio Agamben. O primeiro capítulo desenvolverá a teoria do estado de exceção agambeniana como o paradigma jurídico-político moderno e a sua relação com a vida nua. O segundo capítulo trará a análise de Nietzsche acerca da metafísica ocidental durante a modernidade, buscando nela possíveis fundamentos para a teoria de Agamben. Por último, o terceiro capítulo tratará das semelhanças entre os dois autores, em especial suas investigações sobre as formas de vida modernas

Metric Expressivity: An Introduction

This article discusses how meter and musical impulses can generate distinct character traits in music according to a performer’s interpretation of the metric notation. It is part of an ongoing research project focused on interpretative elements and using analytical as well as auto-ethnographical methods. This article includes analysis and comparisons of historical recordings contiguous to performance-focused analysis. It is based on the study of metric components, organizational structures, and metric-structuring elements and concepts developed by Edward T. Cone (1968), David Epstein (1995a, 1995b), Roy Howat (1995), Mine Doğantan-Dack (2012, 2014), and Nicholas Cook (2001). These writers’ thoughts are placed in juxtaposition to those of Tobias Matthay (1913), Pablo Casals and David Blum, 1977), Anner Bylsma (2001), János Starker (2004), Leon Fleisher (Fleisher and Midgette, 2010), Artur Schnabel (paraphrased in Fleisher and Midgette, 2010), and Mario Brunello (2016), aiming to provide tools and possibilities that might support interpretive decisions for future performers. The author proposes a new term, metric expressivity, to indicate a previously underestimated layer of expressive element in music performance

Self-bound models of compact stars and recent mass-radius measurements

The exact composition of a specific class of compact stars, historically referred to as "neutron stars", is still quite unknown. Possibilities ranging from hadronic to quark degrees of freedom, including self-bound versions of the latter have been proposed. We specifically address the suitability of strange star models (including pairing interactions) in this work, in the light of new measurements available for four compact stars. The analysis shows that these data might be explained by such an exotic equation of state, actually selecting a small window in parameter space, but still new precise measurements and also further theoretical developments are needed to settle the subject.Comment: To appear in PR

Exact and Quasi-exact Models of Strange Stars

We construct and compare a variety of simple models for strange stars, namely, hypothetical self-bound objects made of a cold stable version of the quark-gluon plasma. Exact, quasi-exact and numerical models are examined to find the most economical description for these objects. A simple and successful parametrization of them is given in terms of the central density, and many differences among the models are explicitly shown and discussed.Comment: 20 pp. 15 figures, to appear in IJMP

Phase lags of quasi-periodic oscillations across source states in the low-mass X-ray binary 4U 1636-53

While there are many dynamical mechanisms and models that try to explain the origin and phenomenology of the quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) seen in the X-ray light curves of low-mass X-ray binaries, few of them address how the radiative processes occurring in these extreme environments give rise to the rich set of variability features actually observed in these light curves. A step towards this end comes from the study of the energy and frequency dependence of the phase lags of these QPOs. Here we used a methodology that allowed us to study, for the first time, the dependence of the phase lags of all QPOs in the range of 1 Hz to 1300 Hz detected in the low-mass X-ray binary 4U 1636-53 upon energy and frequency as the source changes its states as it moves through the colour-colour diagram. Our results suggest that within the context of models of up-scattering Comptonization, the phase lags dependencies upon frequency and energy can be used to extract size scales and physical conditions of the medium that produces the lags

Projeto de extensão cozinhando com PANC'S

As Plantas Alimentícias Não Convencionais são alimentos em sua grande parte de alto valor nutricional, que por nascerem espontaneamente ou estarem excluídas da base de produção alimentar e monoculturas, são desconhecidas pela população geral. O projeto tem como objetivo estimular o conhecimento sobre PANC’s, assim como seu consumo, inicialmente pela comunidade acadêmica, mapeando principais focos de espécies alimentícias próximas a universidade. A iniciativa prevê a produção de vídeos contendo as características morfológicas principais para o reconhecimento das espécies, sua localização em Foz do Iguaçu, valores nutricionais e execução de receitas. Fará parte do projeto a divulgação em nível local dos vídeos, que ficarão disponíveis online
