La ville et le sablier: Sentir les temps urbains

International audienceLes réflexions urbanistiques actuelles portent un intérêt de plus en plus marqué au rapport sensible des habitants et usagers envers la ville en analysant les liens sensoriel, poétique, émotionnel et affectif des individus à ses différents lieux. Quels sont les fondements de ces liens ? Dépendent-ils des individus ? Des lieux ? De l’un et l’autre ? Ce rapport affectif à la ville n’est pas figé, il ne peut l’être ; il évolue sans cesse au fil des expériences, des connaissances, des apprentissages que chacun fait de la ville. La ville est elle aussi dynamique ; les lieux ont une histoire qui s’écrit aux rythmes des pas de ceux qui la pratiquent et des projets de ceux qui la fabriquent. C’est en confrontant les temporalités propres à l’individu et propres aux lieux urbains que des figures idéales-typiques de cette relation si particulière sont ressorties. En les croisant, quatre tendances d’appropriation affective des lieux sont dévoilées. Elles mettent en évidence que ce sont principalement les individus, selon leur avancée dans la vie et leur ancienneté de connaissance des lieux, qui déterminent l’évolution du rapport affectif au lieu. Cependant, et c’est ainsi que la réflexion s’oriente vers une portée opérationnelle, les lieux possèdent des « prises affectives ». Elles sont ici présentées dans leur diversité et surtout dans leur capacité à susciter une réflexion sur la possibilité de tendre vers un urbanisme aimable

The polysemy of the Spanish verb sentir: a behavioral profile analysis

This study investigates the intricate polysemy of the Spanish perception verb sentir (‘feel’) which, analogous to the more-studied visual perception verbs ver (‘see’) and mirar (‘look’), also displays an ample gamut of semantic uses in various syntactic environments. The investigation is based on a corpus-based behavioral profile (BP) analysis. Besides its methodological merits as a quantitative, systematic and verifiable approach to the study of meaning and to polysemy in particular, the BP analysis offers qualitative usage-based evidence for cognitive linguistic theorizing. With regard to the polysemy of sentir, the following questions were addressed: (1) What is the prototype of each cluster of senses? (2) How are the different senses structured: how many senses should be distinguished – i.e. which senses cluster together and which senses should be kept separately? (3) Which senses are more related to each other and which are highly distinguishable? (4) What morphosyntactic variables make them more or less distinguishable? The results show that two significant meaning clusters can be distinguished, which coincide with the division between the middle voice uses (sentirse) and the other uses (sentir). Within these clusters, a number of meaningful subclusters emerge, which seem to coincide largely with the more general semantic categories of physical, cognitive and emotional perception

Nicotine is more addictive, not more cognitively therapeutic in a neurodevelopmental model of schizophrenia produced by neonatal ventral hippocampal lesions

Nicotine dependence is the leading cause of death in the United States. However, research on high rates of nicotine use in mental illness has primarily explained this co-morbidity as reflecting nicotine's therapeutic benefits, especially for cognitive symptoms, equating smoking with 'self-medication'. We used a leading neurodevelopmental model of mental illness in rats to prospectively test the alternative possibility that nicotine dependence pervades mental illness because nicotine is simply more addictive in mentally ill brains that involve developmental hippocampal dysfunction. Neonatal ventral hippocampal lesions (NVHL) have previously been demonstrated to produce post-adolescent-onset, pharmacological, neurobiological and cognitive-deficit features of schizophrenia. Here, we show that NVHLs increase adult nicotine self-administration, potentiating acquisition-intake, total nicotine consumed and drug seeking. Behavioral sensitization to nicotine in adolescence prior to self-administration is not accentuated by NVHLs in contrast to increased nicotine self-administration and behavioral sensitization documented in adult NVHL rats, suggesting periadolescent neurodevelopmental onset of nicotine addiction vulnerability in the NVHL model. Delivering a nicotine regimen approximating the exposure used in the sensitization and self-administration experiments (i.e. as a treatment) to adult rats did not specifically reverse NVHL-induced cortical-hippocampal-dependent cognitive deficits and actually worsened cognitive efficiency after nicotine treatment stopped, generating deficits that resemble those due to NVHLs. These findings represent the first prospective evidence demonstrating a causal link between disease processes in schizophrenia and nicotine addiction. Developmental cortical-temporal limbic dysfunction in mental illness may thus amplify nicotine's reinforcing effects and addiction risk and severity, even while producing cognitive deficits that are not specifically or substantially reversible with nicotine

Vamos sentir com o Necas : o Jogo

Nesta comunicação pretende-se dar a conhecer um projeto cujo desenvolvimento está em fase de arranque. Este projeto resultará num jogo em 3D com vários cenários sobre quatro das emoções básicas: alegria, tristeza, medo e raiva. Estando na fase conceptual, este póster centra-se sobretudo nas dinâmicas de aprendizagem associadas ao jogo, na sua narrativa (história e personagens) e na sua estrutura

Sentir y comprender la realidad de la Sierra

Este trabajo es una aproximación al modo de sentir y comprender el universo de la Sierra Onubense, por medio de un método filosófico, es decir, crítico- racional. Se intenta formular un discurso coherente sobre la realidad de la Sierra, en un momento de transición de formas, hábitos y costumbres tradicionales, a modos de comportamiento marcados por la ola de modernidad, cuya incidencia se ha puesto de manifiesto a partir de 1992, con el motivo de las grandes celebraciones del V Centenario del descubrimiento de América y la nueva red de comunicaciones o la poderosa incidencia de los medios informativos e informáticos. La realidad de una sociedad agropecuaria, protegida legalmente en cuanto que es un espacio declarado Parque Natural, se ve arrojada a un proceso de cambio y transformación al que hay que dar una respuesta._______________________________This is an approach towards the manner in which those villages of Huelva situated in the mountains feel and understand the universe, by means of a philosophical method, in a critic rational way. An intended coherent reasoning is given about the reality of these towns in a transition moment from traditional ways, habits, and customs to behaviours marked by modernity. This new wave has been shown, from 1992 onwards, because of the great celebrations of the Fifth Centenary of the Discovery of America and the new net of communications or the powerful repercussion of computer industry. The reality of an agricultural society, legally protected as a Natural Park, is subdued to a process of change and transformation which needs of an answer to be given
