On the first pace, I will describe the convergence of two political visions into the prototype of the Panopticon. Then I will describe its penetration and absorption process into the social body during the 18th and 19th …

כשיצחק רבין ז“ל נרצח אני הייתי בכיתה ח’, בעשר שנים לאחר מכן מכן, שנה אחר שנה, הגעתי לכיכר רבין בחולצה כחולה ושרוך אדום, בשנים הראשונות כחניך עם גיטרה ונרות תוך דקלום שיריו של אביב גפן בתוגת נוער אופיינית, במהלך חוות ההכשרה כקומונר ‘בוגר’ ו’מהפכני’ עם החניכים, ובשנים לאחר מכן בכובעים שונים ובמעגלי השפעה גדולים יותר …

בחיבור שלהלן אסקור את עיקרי הדברים במאמרו של דרידה התוספת של האוגד: פילוסופיה לפני בלשנות, מתוך קריאה צמודה בטקסט אנסה לחלץ את הטענה או התמונה העיקרית שדרידה מתאר, בהמשך אסקור את הטענה שעולה מתוך ‘בית המקרחת לאפלטון’ מאת דרידה ואנסה לבחון את מידת הדמיון ביניהם. לבסוף אבקשר לברר האם מטרתו של דרידה היא לבקר את …

Moor draws in his paper a portrait of a tripartite model of a technological revolution. He states that every significant technological revolution consists of these three phases: The first, is the introduction stage, that is a semi-experimental phase of its new implementations, few prototypes that prove the utility of the paradigmatic framework are released to …
