This project will investigate how daily encounters with digital technologies and the sense of rapid comprehension that they require can be used to make tactile and contemplative visual artwork. Completed over 3 years, studio work will be undertaken with the goal of making art that engages with a physical experience of time in terms of the range of technologically complex and disembodied ways of communicating today.

It aims also to investigate which is the conception of subjectivity within this philosophy that reveals an irreducible opening of the subject to the world.

Os argumentos fundamentais dizem respeito à compreensão de que o ser-aí dá-se como totalidade, no âmbito de uma compreensão antecipativa, isto é, o ser-aí dá-se como uma compreensão que, a cada vez, antecipa a si mesma em já sendo. Essa totalidade dá-se simultaneamente como cuidado e poder-ser. Já as questões fundamentais às quais a obra Ser e Tempo dá voz dizem respeito à aproximação dos outros seres a cada vez envolver essa temporalidade antecipativa e à noção de que ao ser o ser-aí responde a um apelo do Ser, transformando-o em destino, a partir da possibilidade que é a dele. Procuraremos, assim, pensar de que forma o conceito de Dasein, o ser-aí, pode ser interpretado. / "The Being-there in the Existential Analytic of Being and Time" is an interpretation of the work of Martin Heidegger, in which we seek to situate the key issues of his work as well as to demonstrate the arguments of the philosopher and the concepts that are born of his argumentation. The arguments concern the fundamental understanding that the being-there gives as totality, in the context of a preemptive understanding, otherwise, the being-there occurs as an understanding that, each time, anticipates itself already in being. This totality takes place simultaneously as caring and power to be. And the key issues to which the work Being and Time voices concern the approximation of other beings in each time also involves this anticipatory temporality and the notion that the being-there responds to a call from the Being, transforming it into a destination , with the possibility that it is his.We seek, therefore, think about how the concept of Dasein, the being-there, can be interpreted.

Les apprenants sinophones manifestent de nombreuses résistances spécifiques lors de l'acquisition du système temporel du français. Notre objectif est de déterminer les raisons d'une telle situation afin de réfléchir à des propositions didactiques propres à résoudre ces problèmes récurrents. L'analyse du corpus de productions orales et écrites recueilli auprès des étudiants sinophones à différents stades de leur apprentissage a mis en lumière une interlangue caractérisée par une perspective énonciative instable. Pour trouver des explications à ce phénomène, nous avons procédé à une analyse linguistique contrastive des deux systèmes temporels, chinois et français, et également à une analyse des outils de description des langues habituellement utilisés dans l’enseignement du français dans notre établissement d'accueil. Nous avons remarqué que la notion d'énonciation, qui est centrale dans la linguistique française, exerce peu de contraintes formelles dans l'organisation du système temporel du chinois. De plus, elle est rarement évoquée dans l'enseignement du français en Chine. Ces résultats offrent des pistes pertinentes pour la réflexion sur les démarches didactiques à entreprendre en vue d'adapter l'enseignement du fonctionnement interne du français aux caractéristiques du public sinophone / Chinese learners face specific problems when learning French tenses. Our aim is to determine the reasons for this situation and make didactic proposals to adapt the teaching of the French language to Chinese characteristics. The study of the corpus collected from Chinese students at different stages of learning shows an enunciative perspective that isunstable during the construction of the tense system. A contrastive linguistic analysis of Chinese and French temporal systems, as well as an observation of the descriptive language tools commonly used in French teaching in China and didactic practices highlight on the one hand the influences of the mother tongue and secondly the teaching received onthe French tense system construction by Chinese students

This thesis claims that temporality can provide a novel means through which to distinguish between different types of judgment. Specifically, it focusses upon how the adjudicative process determines factual construction and argues that the resultant construction is, at least in part, contingent upon temporality. As the first of two starting points, the thesis begins by rejecting the subsumption thesis of judgment which states laws simply subsume facts that they ‘correspond to’. It attributes this rejection to the generality of laws and their flexibility as either rules or standards. Second of the two starting points, though related to the first, is what the thesis refers to as the ‘Kantian axiom’ which argues that time shapes consciousness. Extending this, the thesis posits that, filling in the lacuna created by the shortcomings of the subsumptive theory of judgment, adjudication’s temporality shapes its factual construction. Having established these preliminary points, the thesis describes the different ends of a spectrum of judgment in which legal decisions can tend toward. Adjudication as Cognition (abstract judgment), predicated I argue on a spatial-temporality at one end, and Adjudication as Understanding (concrete judgment), grounded on a creative reading of Bergsonian and Gadamerian temporality at the other. The main differences between these forms of judgment is the qualitatively different types of fact they produce, made possible through the temporalities upon which they are contingent. This results in different constructions of the subject and event (facts which law gives meaning to) which may impact upon ascriptions of responsibility. In addition, it is with adjudication as understanding that a potentially transformative form of judgment is possible and in which the radical difference of the subject and event of law emerges. Temporality is thus capable of reframing old problems of jurisprudence as well as articulating new ones. It argues that factual construction, in particular subjectivity is, in part, predicated upon time, and that temporality, as unproblematised, may conceal an exercise of judicial power. It also highlights the general marginalisation of temporality in (legal) modernity and reveals the ‘temporal trap’ of legal subjectivity in which futures are bound and pasts are arbitrarily selected.

Global displacement is accelerating‭. ‬Climate change is proposed to be a main driver of migration‭, ‬together with conflict‭, ‬poverty‭, ‬and a promise of a better life in wealthier parts of the world‭. ‬This builds on a legacy of an extractive geopolitical relation between the Global North and the Global South and the general response from the field of architecture has been to offer temporary solutions‭, ‬such as tents and containers organized in Refugee Camps‭. ‬This way of responding is highly problematic as it is stigmatizing refugees to become temporary victims‭, ‬motivating a migratory reception build on the idea of a visit rather than a long-term stay‭. ‬Regardless of the circumstances of displacement‭, ‬this report argues for a response that moves between a temporary and permanent condition‭, ‬based on concepts of affordability and local affiliation‭. ‬Building on a conversation on vernacular architecture‭, ‬the project proposes to expand vernacular knowledge to meet present standards‭, ‬in terms of construction methods‭, ‬material use‭, ‬and climatic strategies‭,  ‬both responding to meet the needs of displacement‭, ‬and a degrading environment‭. ‬ The project is set in rural Turkey‭, ‬addressing a situation where informal‭, ‬migratory workers of the agriculture sector are currently living scattered in tent settlements‭, ‬in the province of Torbali‭, ‬Izmir‭. ‬It suggests a housing proposal‭, ‬more specifically‭ ‬a dormitory for seasonal communities‭. ‬In its essence‭, ‬it acts as a theoretical proposal intended to contribute to a discussion on the role of architecture and the potential of the vernacular‭, ‬in a situation of displacement‭. ‬

Analyzing the political, legal, and cultural outcomes of the protests against the 2017 G20 Summit in Hamburg (the NoG20 protests), this thesis departs from the observation that violent protests may produce outcomes that seem counterintuitive at first sight. After the NoG20 protests, Hamburg’s government introduced a police identification statute that required officers to wear individually assigned codes during riot police operations. This was intended to make police more accountable to the public by allowing recognition of specific officers in cases of alleged misbehavior. This policy change seemed surprising, given that the heavy escalations of violence that characterized the protests were primarily attributed to the NoG20 activists, rather than to police. This thesis examines this seeming paradox from three different perspectives: first, from a policy-process perspective that reconstructs the decision in its temporal context; second, from a legal perspective that focuses on the interplay of political decision-making and judicial review of the occurrences; and third, from a discourse-oriented perspective that analyzes changes in the discursive opportunity structure associated with the NoG20 protests. The overall analysis indicates that protests may have multiple outcomes that a) may be interlinked, b) may both constrain and enable collective and legislative action, c) may be unintended by both collective and institutional actors, and d) should be analyzed in their historical context, as they may be the result of processes that began well before a given protest. This thesis finds that the decision to introduce a police identification statute was the outcome of a complex meaning-making process—a series of “struggles over credibility” between state authorities and NoG20 activists as well as their supporters that were played out in various arenas, including parliament, the media, and the courts. The findings suggest that rather than “triggering” change or adding entirely new topics to decision-makers’ agendas, the NoG20 protests functioned as a “focusing event,” a “catalyst” for change, intervening in ongoing, long-term processes. In terms of methodology, this thesis contributes to the literature by demonstrating that a processual approach that pays particular attention to temporal sequence and the dynamic interactions among collective actors and other actors can help to address one of the major challenges of outcome research—to establish a link between collective action and an observed outcome. On the conceptual level, the thesis contributes to the literature in several ways. First, it demonstrates that moving beyond the “success” or “failure” understanding that is particularly dominant in policy-related outcome research can help overcome some of the field’s shortcomings and broaden its analytical scope as it draws our attention to potentially new phenomena, including the unintended effects of collective action. Second, it benefits our understanding of the outcomes of both collective action—violent or not—and repression by viewing outcomes as “snapshots” (i.e., intermediate results of a process in which change is still underway). Finally, it potentially helps to resolve some of the inconsistencies inherent in particular research on the effects of repression by promoting understanding of the temporality inherent in state responses to collective action, whether they are legal or political.
