Summary According to the thirteenth day organizational meeting of the Street' Operation Scurpiddu"

On February 24, 2011, at the headquarters of the GAAS, was held on the second organizational meeting of the thirteenth day of Operation Road Scurpiddu.

Present at the meeting the representatives of the Associations for Health, Fai, and Emergency One future project. Do not submit to personal commitments already members of other associations which have joined the association LIPU - Italian League for Bird, the animal rights association Rambo POCS and the Association of Barcelona.

The President of GAAS informed participants that the Provincial Authority has granted the sponsorship initiative and that, on the basis of shared information that emerged from the first organizational meeting, was presented a formal request to the City of Foggia (Mayor, Deputy Mayor, Jobs Public) to propose an alternative to the existing executive determines the restructuring of the square, with a budget amounting to € 4,001.00. This includes determining, by the Public Works, the complete removal of the "Coffin", the remaining small flower beds and benches, and the total floor space.

The alternative proposed by GAAS and the member associations is summarized in the creation of a symbolic referendum to ask people with whom the residents to choose between the proposal determined by the Public Works and the prospect of maintaining green areas and benches. ;

If the referendum were to reward the alternative proposed by the associations, they, along with resident volunteers, we will remove the coffin and the earth and it contains the junction of plants with colorful flowers to decorate the remaining hexagonal flowerbed flowerbeds and small outline .

With the money saved, remaining within the limits determined by the City of € 4,000 may be purchased two or three games that would go to build a mini playground for children from 0 to 3 years.

Children participate in the referendum through a form of preference made by a drawing to choose whether to redesign the "Coffin" park or the mini-games.

The proposal also reaffirms the intention of empowering the perpetrators of acts of vandalism perpetrated in the square through a symbolic adoption of space, which preserves the care and maintenance.

Obviously we await answers from the Mayor regarding the possibility to proceed under the guidelines set forth.

addition to activities already decided in the first meeting, it was decided to involve the friends of the boy killed the night of Saturday, February 19, Francis Cannon, who lives in District eighteenth century, to create a banner in his memory.

To Regarding the decision to create a mural on the walls of the buildings bordering the square by the Artistic Group Ecstrarte, discussions about the difficulties mainly dictated by the times require permits and licenses to the owners of the wall is almost never present, both the City given the constraints dictated by the laws on urban historic centers. It should be added that the cancellation of already written in the past made by the children, could be viewed by them as an act of injustice to their work. For these reasons, related to the principles of legality by which the GAAS will not matter, it was decided to postpone any action so I thought. Ecstrarte, then, as proposed inizialmente, realizzerà un’estemporanea d’arte interattiva con ritratti dei partecipanti.

Relativamente all’animazione musicale, che verrà curata dall’Associazione Music&Color, si è provveduto a chiedere ad un residente della piazza un temporaneo allaccio di corrente per l’attacco di un piccolo amplificatore ed una piccola console.

Al termine di una breve discussione sugli argomenti, l’incontro viene aggiornato a Giovedì 3 Marzo 2011 alle ore 19:30 presso la sede del G.A.A.S. in via Meridiana 58 .

We agree with the need to request permission from the competent bodies for its development.

There being no other up to discuss this should refer to the second organizational meeting of the thirteenth day of road that will take place Thursday, February 24, 2011 at 19:30 at the headquarters of GAAS in via Meridiana 58.

Healing Time After Freezing Genital Wart

Ode Theatre

Each place has its own tale. And every story still holds it own colors, sounds, scents and traditions of the country of origin.

In country after country in the history of history, taste in taste, the fourth of six monthly appointments " Merenda theater - endless, Stories", a series of tales from different parts of the world , led us in Africa, in the so called, inappropriately, " Dark Continent, land of warm colors and bright red and orange sunsets. Africa " fair as the moon and joyful as the sun ," just as Kumba, the Senegalese protagonist of the story "Who will marry Kumba? " messa in scena Sabato 19 Febbraio all’ Oda Teatr o dagli attori della Compagnia Teatrale “ Cerchio di Gesso ”. 

Come di consueto i bambini, accompagnati da nonni e genitori, sono stati accolti all’interno di uno spazio ludico allestito all’ingresso dell’Oda Teatro, nel quale hanno potuto disegnare, colorare e familiarizzare con i libri, in attesa dell’arrivo del simpatico “ professore ” dallo strano accento straniero.

Dopo una breve presentazione del continente di provenienza della favola, attraverso immagini rappresentative della cultura africana, lo spettacolo ha avuto inizio. Tutti giù per terra,  intorno al palco, catapultati dentro la rovente atmosfera del “ continente dai mille color i”, per un emozionate assaggio letterario dell’Africa.

“ Tanto tempo fa tre amici vivevano nello stesso villaggio e amavano lo stessa ragazza…. “

I bambini, trasportati dal vortice tribale di parole e musica, hanno seguito la danza dei corpi e delle voci narranti, lenta e cadenzata, con grande attenzione e rispettoso silenzio, presto tramutatosi in allegro chiacchiericcio dinanzi al tavolo delle merende. Le stories, if well-narrated, open your mind but also the stomach. And Africa deserves to be tasted and praised for its spicy flavors and aromas.

After the audience the story of Hate Theatre has been invited to approach the " snack table, laid for the occasion with traditional African craft products: statues and wooden masks, musical instruments, clothing, textiles and cheerful ethnic cadres.

well as a sweet snack of bread and nutella and fruit juice, small-audience diners with their parents, have enjoyed a typical sweet Senegal made with cous cous and fruit pieces.

Finally, with a full belly, the children have made some small artifacts inspired by the traditions of the country in the laboratory of the story in creative play edited by ' GAAS Association and the Cooperative Scurpiddu that, using materials readily available in home-like styrofoam cups, rubber bands, latex gloves and foil, led children and parents in building a small djembè , tipico tamburo a calice originario dell’Africa Occidentale, collocato come di consueto all’interno dei pannelli scenografici, raffiguranti paesaggi africani, realizzati dalle atelieriste del G.A.A.S. con materiali di scarto e di uso quotidiano. 

Il prossimo viaggio letterario e culinario attraverso le favole del mondo ci condurrà in Sud America con la Favola “ Il sale e lo zucchero ” ( Perù ). 

We look forward to Saturday, 26 March 2011 at 17.30 hours, at the Oda Theatre.

Animating Ideas of Idealism:
A Semantic Sonata in Kant and Hegel

Lecture One

Norms, Selves, and Concepts

1. In these lectures I consider some of the ideas that animated the philosophical tradition, anchored and epitomized by Kant and Hegel, which they called ‘idealism.’ My aim is to reanimate some of those ideas, breathing new life into them by exhibiting a new perspective from which they show up as worthy of our interest and attention today. I do that by retrospectively rationally reconstructing a coherent, cumulative trajectory of thought, carving it out of the context in which it is embedded, ruthlessly ignoring elements near and dear to Kant and Hegel that are not essential to the line of thought on which I am focusing. This will seem to some a perverse sort of enterprise. At the end of my third and final lecture I assemble conceptual raw materials drawn from all three lectures, in order to address the methodological issue of how to think about the nature, justification, and possible value of this sort of undertaking.

2. At the heart of Descartes’ innovations in epistemology and the philosophy of mind lies a revolutionary semantic idea. He saw that the rising new science required giving up the old ways of thinking about the relations between appearance and reality. Since the Greeks, the idea had been that, at least when things go well, the way things appear to us resembles the way they really are. Resemblance in this sense is a matter of sharing properties (or some more general sort of form), as a realistic picture shares some elements of shape and perhaps color with what it pictures. But on Copernicus’s account, the reality behind the appearance of a stationary Earth and a revolving Sun is a rotating Earth and stationary Sun. No resemblance there. And Galileo’s reading of what he calls the “book of nature, written in the language of mathematics” finds the best way of getting a grip on the reality of motion to be by manipulating geometrical appearances, in which a period of time shows up as the length of a line, and acceleration as the area of triangle. The category of resemblance is of little help in understanding the connections that are being exploited. And in Descartes’ own algebraized geometry, the equations of lines and circles do not at all resemble the geometrical figures about which they let us reason so effectively. Descartes sees that a more abstract notion of representation is needed. We’ve been worrying about it ever since.
[….]
3. Where Descartes’ semantic concerns center on the nature of representational success, Kant addresses more fundamental questions about the nature of representational purport. What is it, he wants to know, for our ideas so much as to seem to be about something? What is it for us to take or treat them as, for them to show up to us as, representings, in the sense of something that answers for its correctness to what thereby counts as being represented? This issue is the core around which cluster the other elements of Kant’s concern with what he calls “objectivity.” The line of thought he develops to answer these questions begins with the identification of a critical shortcoming of the account of judgment he inherited. That account finds its place as part of the traditional classificatory theory of consciousness. This is the idea that to be aware of something is to take it as something: paradigmatically, to classify something particular as being of some general kind. In its form as a theory of judgment, it becomes the view that judging is predicating one concept of another: putting two concepts into a relation, marked by a copula, whose paradigm once again is bringing a particular concept under a general one, or subordinating a less general to a more general one.

In a radical break with the whole of the logical tradition he inherited, Kant rejects this way of thinking about judgment. The reason he gives is that it does not apply to logically compound judgments:
I have never been able to accept the interpretation which logicians give of judgment in general. It is, they declare, the representation of a relation between two concepts…(W)hat is defective in this interpretation…(is) that it applies only to categorical, not to hypothetical and disjunctive judgments (the two latter containing a relation not of concepts but of judgments), an oversight from which many troublesome consequences have followed. [CPR B140-1]
It will be instructive to fill in some of those “troublesome consequences.” The same logical tradition distinguishes between mental acts and their contents—that is, between the two sides of what Sellars calls the “notorious ‘ing’/‘ed’ ambiguity,” which affects concepts such as judgment, representation, experience, and perception—between what one is doing in judging, representing, experiencing, or perceiving, on the one hand, and what is judged, represented, experienced, or perceived, on the other.

4. For this reason, Kant could not take over the traditional classificatory theory of consciousness, which depends on understanding judging as predicating. But what can go in its place? Here is perhaps Kant’s deepest and most original idea, the axis around which I see all of his thought as revolving. What distinguishes judging and intentional doing from the activities of non-sapient creatures is not that they involve some special sort of mental processes, but that they are things knowers and agents are in a distinctive way responsible for. Judging and acting involve commitments. They are endorsements, exercises of authority. Responsibility, commitment, endorsement, authority—these are all normative notions. Judgments and actions make knowers and agents liable to characteristic kinds of normative assessment. Kant’s most basic idea is that minded creatures are to be distinguished from un-minded ones not by a matter-of-fact ontological distinction (the presence of mind-stuff), but by a normative deontological one. This is his normative characterization of the mental.

Drawing on a jurisprudential tradition that includes Grotius, Pufendorf, and Crusius, Kant talks about norms in the form of rules. Judging and acting—endorsing claims and maxims, committing ourselves as to what is or shall be true—is binding ourselves by norms. It is making ourselves subject to assessment according to rules that articulate the contents of those commitments. Those norms, those rules, he calls ‘concepts’. In a strict sense, all a Kantian subject can do is apply concepts, either theoretically, in judging, or practically, in acting. Discursive, that is to say, concept-mongering creatures, are normative creatures—creatures who live, and move, and have their being in a normative space.

It follows that the most urgent philosophical task is to understand the nature of this normativity, the bindingness or validity (Verbindlichkeit, Gültigkeit) of conceptual norms. For Descartes, the question was how to think about our grip on our concepts, thoughts, or ideas (Is it clear? Is it distinct?). For Kant the question is rather how to understand their grip on us: the conditions of the intelligibility of our being bound by conceptual norms.
