Full textSilence is at the heart of all the musical, literary, movie weaves. This study is based on its importance. Putting first its inherent complexity into perspective enables us to search for its place and expression in the literary field, and then in the musical field to finally reach the movie field that has always been the driving force behind this research. By studying one of the movies by David Lynch, Wim Wenders, John Huston and Milos Forman in much greater depth, silence is to be explored in its connection with voice, dialogues, music, body, movement, film editing, around issues of memory and oblivion, imagination, wandering, incommunicability, break, privacy, introversion or extraversion, protection or communion , mask, imprisonment, death, oppression or freedom ... These case studies allow us to observe silence in its polymorphism, its changing values, dualities or the stratification of its forms

Full textThis thesis discusses the link between the logic and ethics in two fields - that of philosophy with wittgenstein, that of psychoanalysis with freud and lacan - through one notion, that of the silence. The two logics seek to discuss by examining concepts such as that of identity, truth, negation, objects unidentical to themselves in order to shed light on the epistemological precautions which are necessary for the psychoanalytical theory and its puttinf in writing. Psychoanalysis is confronted with, in turn, plato's dialectics, rhetorics, myths, mystics, in order to understand the relationship which the silence entertains in its theory with instinct, repression, inhibition and the symtom. From our analysis of the different forms of the silence during therapy we infer ethical implications. In the same way, problems relating to the putting in writing of the silence, its formalisation and its representation serve to establish an ethics of the silence for those who speak of the logics of the unconscious

Full textEl cultivo del silencio como vía para transcender la experiencia ordinaria del mundo está presente en múltiples culturas a lo largo de la historia, en campos como la espiritualidad, la estética o la filosofía. Esta tesis estudia las modalidades que adopta esta práctica en la sociedad contemporánea. Partiendo de la hipótesis de que el silencio como experiencia religiosa –entendiendo religión en un sentido amplio, como el ámbito donde las personas gestionan sus experiencias de transcendencia y dan sentido a la vida– se ha reformulado y popularizado como consecuencia de las nuevas formas de relación que el individuo establece con el silencio y con lo transcendente. Aplicando una metodología cualitativa que combina el trabajo etnográfico multisituado con el análisis sociofenomenológico, y empleando las herramientas del análisis documental, la observación participante y la entrevista, la investigación se aproxima a diferentes colectivos para los cuales el silencio constituye un elemento central en sus búsquedas de sentido, desde meditadores cristianos hasta personas que cultivan el silencio en los ámbitos de las religiones orientales, las espiritualidades holísticas, el arte, la terapia o el activismo. El primer objetivo de la tesis ha consistido en analizar diferentes modalidades de práctica, fijándose en las narrativas, los escenarios o los perfiles de los actores implicados. El segundo objetivo ha sido interpretar sociológicamente estas prácticas poniéndolas en relación con su contexto sociocultural. Por un lado, se analiza la relación entre el habitus de los individuos y la forma cómo dan sentido a la experiencia del silencio y la incorporan en su relato biográfico. Por otro lado, se ha trazado el proceso de construcción de la experiencia moderna del silencio analizando cómo los fenómenos del giro subjetivo, el pluralismo o la diseminación de lo sagrado han contribuido a conformarla en sus modalidades actuales. La tesis constata que el silencio se ha resignificado y popularizado en el marco de la religiosidad contemporánea, en dos sentidos: a) como experiencia: en tanto que condición ambiental y psicológica, el silencio actúa como catalizador de vivencias de transcendencia que adquiere protagonismo en diversas modalidades actuales de cultivo de la interioridad; y b) como símbolo transreligioso de una realidad o experiencia transcendente, el silencio ha devenido una idea fuerza que identifica y distingue unas formas de religiosidad subjetivizadas, que priorizan la experiencia íntima de lo sagrado y traspasan los marcos de la religión institucionalizada. Este silencio, como vivencia y como símbolo, se construye como alternativa tanto a la crisis de los lenguajes y prácticas de la religión tradicional como a los modos de vida predominantes en el capitalismo tardío. A partir de los casos analizados, la tesis subraya la dimensión intersubjetiva de las prácticas de silencio. Estas son sociales en tanto que se encarnan en significados, roles y pautas construidos y transmitidos colectivamente, pero también en la medida en que a menudo son, en términos de Alfred Schütz, experiencias compartidas en el vívido presente en sintonía con la alteridad. La tesis cuestiona también las visiones negativas o reduccionistas que atribuyen a las prácticas de silencio una tendencia al aislamiento, al narcisismo o a la apatía social. La práctica moderna del silencio no es, necesariamente, una versión actualizada de la tradicional fuga mundi ni una expresión de la atomización y desmovilización promovidas por el ethos neoliberal, sino que puede ser una reacción frente a estas que promueve el asociacionismo, el compromiso cívico y la acción social transformadora. A partir del concepto de resonancia de Hartmut Rosa, la tesis concluye reflexionando sobre el papel de la experiencia silenciosa como una respuesta potencialmente emancipadora ante las condiciones de alienación de la tardomodernidad.
The cultivation of silence in order to transcend ordinary world experience is present in multiple cultures throughout history, in fields such as spirituality, aesthetics, or philosophy. This thesis studies the modalities adopted by this practice within the framework of contemporary society. We start from the hypothesis that silence as a religious experience –understanding religion in a broad sense, as the realm where people manage their experiences of transcendence and give meaning to life– have been reformulated and popularized as a result of the new forms of relationship that the contemporary individual establishes with both the phenomenon of silence and the transcendent. Applying a qualitative methodology that combines a multisituated ethnographic work with a sociophenomenological analysis, and using the tools of documentary analysis, participant observation and interview, the research approaches different groups for which silence constitutes a central element in his pursuits of transcendence, from Christian meditators to people who cultivate silence within the frame of Eastern religions, holistic spiritualities, art, therapy, or social activism. The first objective of the thesis was to describe and analyze different modalities of practice, focusing on the narratives, scenarios or profiles of the actors involved. The second goal has been to interpret these practices sociologically by relating them to the current sociocultural context. On the one hand, it analyzes the relationship between the habits of individuals and the way in which they give meaning to the experience of silence and incorporate it into their biographical account. On the other hand, the process of constructing the modern experience of silence has been traced by analyzing how the phenomena of the subjective turn, pluralism or the dissemination of the sacred have contributed to shaping it in its current modalities. The thesis states that silence has been re-signified and popularized within the framework of contemporary religiosity, in two ways: a) as an experience: as an environmental and psychological condition, silence acts as a catalyst for subjective experiences of transcendence that acquires prominence in several current modalities of cultivation of the interiority; and b) as a transreligious symbol of a transcendent reality or experience, silence has become a force idea that identifies and distinguishes some subjectivized forms of religiosity, which prioritize the intimate experience of the sacred and go beyond the framework of institutionalized religions. This silence, as an experience and as a metaphor, is constructed as an alternative both to the crisis of the languages and practices of traditional religion and, also, to the values and patterns of life predominant in late capitalism. Based on the cases analyzed, the thesis emphasizes the intersubjective dimension of silence practices. These are social insofar as they are embodied in meanings, roles and patterns constructed and transmitted collectively, but also insofar as they are often, in terms of Alfred Schütz, shared experiences in the present vivid in a tuning-in relationship with otherness. The thesis also questions negative or reductionist views that attribute to silence practices a tendency to isolation, narcissism, or social and political apathy. The modern practice of silence is not necessarily an updated version of the traditional fuga mundi nor an expression of the atomization and demobilization promoted by the neoliberal ethos but, on the contrary, a reaction against them, which promotes associationism, civic engagement and transformative social action. In this sense, based on Harmut Rosa's concept of resonance, the thesis ends by reflecting on the role of silent experience as a potentially emancipatory response to the conditions of alienation characteristic of late modernity.

Full textIncludes bibliographical references.
Pornography deserves special protections, it is often said, because it qualifies as speech; therefore, no matter what we think of it, we must afford it the protections that we extend to most speech, but don't extend to other actions. In response, it has been argued that the case is not so simple: one of the harms of pornography, it is claimed, is that it silences women's speech, thereby preventing women from deriving from speech the very benefits that warrant the special protections in the first place. This dissertation offers a way of making sense of the view that pornography silences women. In Chapter 1, I develop an account of silencing which, unlike other accounts of the same phenomenon, helps make clear why a speaker who is silenced is thereby deprived of the benefits that led us to place a special value on speech. In Chapter 2, I respond to an objection that purports to show that, even if women are silenced, pornography cannot be responsible: in fact, according to this objection, the responsibility for any instance of silencing cannot lie with any party other than the speaker and the audience involved. I show that this objection relies on an overly simplistic picture of what audiences can reasonably be required to do in a speech situation; I also offer an alternate picture, which leaves open the possibility that a speaker may be silenced in a context in which both she and her audience behave competently.
(cont.) In Chapter 3, I consider a view about the way in which pornography contributes to the silencing - and more generally, to the subordination - of women. I argue that this view fails because it is too individualistic: it ignores how the social and political context in which the pornography is consumed helps determine whether it subordinates. I then make some suggestions about what a more satisfactory view would be. Though pornography is the principal case study throughout this dissertation, much of what I say generalizes to other forms of representation that set limits on what speakers are able to convey. The main aim of my discussion is to contribute to the philosophical and feminist understanding of communication, by showing how an individual's social role can constrain her possibilities as a speaker.

Full textEl objetivo de este estudio fue conocer y comprender la orientación sexual proveniente de madres de hijos portadores de deficiencia visual. Bajo la perspectiva fenomenológica, se analizan veinte discursos de madres de deficientes visuales. El recorrido por todos los discursos permite conocer que la desinformación sobre la sexualidad en general, impide el diálogo entre madre e hijo(a). Tales recorridos evidencian igualmente, que la represión sexual fundamenta los estigmas y los preconceptos en la educación sexual de los deficientes visuales.

Roll-to-Roll (R2R) manufacturing has seen great interest in the recent decade due to the proliferation of personalized and wearable devices for monitoring a variety of biometrics. Given the sensitive nature of the potential applications of these sensors, the throughput of manufacturing due to increased demand, and the scale of the electrical components being manufactured, R2R flexible electronics manufacturing technologies require new sensing and measurement capabilities for defect detection and process control. The work presented herein investigates the use of ultrasound, specifically Lamb and longitudinal waves, as a sensing modality and measurement technique for thin film R2R manufacturing substrates. Contact (transducer-based) and non-contact (photoacoustic) generation methods along with deterministic and probabilistic tomographic reconstruction algorithms were implemented evaluate their suitability for non-destructive evaluation (NDE) and in-line control of surface additions of 76[mu]m aluminum and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) films. The ultrasonic waves were used to ascertain properties of these substrates such as the thickness of substrate, applied load, presence of defects (holes/cracks), size of defects, presence of surface features (fluid drops, multi-layer structures), and nature of surface features (differing chemistries). In addition, surface features alter the behavior of sound waves in the presence of such features. These surface features may then be imaged to create tomographic maps. The results presented show that, currently, a quasi-contact acoustic generation scheme can be used to successfully image defects and surface features on the order of -1mm. Furthermore, the algorithm is able to distinguish qualitatively between surface features of differing physiochemical properties. The authors hope that the information collected from this thesis will be part of a rich data set that can contribute to advanced machine-learning frameworks for predictive maintenance, failure, and process control analysis for the R2R process.

Full textIn his early works that precede le bateau ivre (the drunk boat), rimbaud performs evolutions into a new code of the literature. These evolutions become more clear in his correspondence written during the first period of the poetical activity (may 1870-august 1871). Such an impulse toward the new literary code entails in rimbaud the negation itself of the literature, more particularly from the unrimed poetry compound on 1872. In une saison en enfer (a season in the hell) and the illuminations the poetry tends infinitely to his marvellous universe that contains in the vast field all the realities coming beyond the imaginary horizons of the writing. The silence of rimbaud is well inscribed on the african correspondence as a new writing. This correspondence is also the diret prolongation of a season in the hell containing the "pagan" or "negro" spirit that will develop in detail and more really during the life and in the letters of the african rimbaud. The continuity is prolonged beyond his life. By the refusal of the literature, rimbaud opens a new way toward the modernness of the poetry. When this refusal becomes a poetry, rimbaud is well a apostle for the poets of this century
