Alessandro Fusacchia"Festival del Pensare Contemporaneo"Vivere la meraviglia. Tra stupore e spaventoPiacenza, dal 19 al 23 settembre 2024www.pensarecontemporaneo.itL'edizione 2024 del Festival del Pensare Contemporaneo di Piacenza, intitolata VIVERE LA MERAVIGLIA. Tra stupore e spavento, promette un viaggio emozionale e cognitivo attraverso i sentimenti più profondi che animano l'esperienza umana.La seconda edizione del Festival si propone di esplorare le dinamiche del meravigliarsi, dello stupore di fronte all'immensità e alla varietà del mondo che ci circonda, e dello spavento che a volte ne deriva e che va affrontato con lucidità perché possa trasformarsi in una potente forza esistenziale.Aristotele spiega che la meraviglia non è il semplice stupore intellettuale di chi passa dai “problemi” più facili a quelli più difficili, ma è l'angoscia che arriva quando gli esseri umani vivono lo thauma, termine greco che significa proprio, al contempo, sia “stupore” sia “spavento”. È l'unione dell'improvviso bisogno di silenzio che proviamo di fronte a un bel tramonto e dell'impellenza dell'urlo che nasce davanti a un terribile burrone. “Vivere la meraviglia, tra stupore e spavento”, sarà questo il tema della seconda edizione del Festival del Pensare Contemporaneo, che si terrà a Piacenza dal 19 al 23 settembre. In programma più di 70 incontri dialogici, lezioni pratiche di pensiero e concerti filosofici diffusi in 12 location della città.Con la partecipazione straordinaria di Sergio Mattarella, Presidente della Repubblica.Un viaggio emozionale e cognitivo attraverso i sentimenti più profondi che animano l'esperienza umana, guidato da oltre 150 importanti ospiti italiani e internazionali: artisti e artiste, scienziati e scienziate, scrittori e scrittrici e intellettuali di ogni tipo, assieme a personalità dell'economia e dell'impresa, delle istituzioni pubbliche, e della società civile.Ha preso corpo il programma della seconda edizione del Festival del Pensare Contemporaneo che si terrà a Piacenza dal 19 al 23 settembre 2024 e che è online sul sito pensarecontemporaneo.it nella forma di un booklet che illustra il calendario degli eventi e la corposa lista degli ospiti.Maggiori dettagli sui temi trattati in ogni singolo incontro saranno diffusi a partire dalle prossime settimane.Tra gli ospiti internazionali figurano nomi del calibro di Oleksandra Matviychuk, il Premio Nobel per la pace 2022, la sociologa di fama internazionale Judy Wajcman, lo scrittore e divulgatore scientifico Ananyo Bhattacharya, la glaciologa Heïdi Sevestre, Mary Fitzgerald, una tra le voci europee più importanti sulla Libia, il vice premier sloveno Luka Mesec, il filosofo Joan-Carles Melich, la CEO di Living Farm Katharina Unger, il politologo Charles Sabel e la saggista Jude Ellison Doyle.Non hanno bisogno di presentazioni i principali ospiti italiani, dalla già annunciata Samantha Cristoforetti, a Paolo Giordano, e poi Donatella Di Pietrantonio, Stefano Mancuso, Daria Bignardi, Loredana Lipperini, Antonio Spadaro, Lella Costa, Michela Ponzani, Francesca Fiore, Paolo Nori, Renato Brunetta, Massimiliano Fedriga, Francesca Cavallo, Chiara Valerio, Giulia Caminito, Giacomo Rovero, Paolo Di Paolo, Francesco Piccolo, Vera Gheno, Arisa, Dargen D'Amico, La Rappresentante di Lista e tanti altri.Attraverso format differenti, dialoghi, interviste, lezioni pratiche di pensiero e concerti filosofici diffusi, l'edizione 2024 della kermesse inviterà i partecipanti ad approfondire il dibattito sul contemporaneo e a riscoprire la meraviglia dentro di sé.Attraverso momenti di condivisione, di scoperta e di dialogo, questa seconda edizione del Festival inviterà gli ospiti a condividere, attraverso le proprie esperienze e visioni, come la meraviglia abbia influenzato il loro lavoro e come vedano la società contemporanea. L'auspicio è dar vita a un'avventura incoraggiante, che ci aiuti a guardare agli eventi con occhi nuovi, a vivere il presente con un senso di meraviglia rinnovato e in cui lo spavento non sia più un ostacolo.Curatore: Alessandro FusacchiaDirettore filosofico: Andrea Colamedici IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

When did you first hear of GPT, Claude, DALL-E or Bard? Feels like a while ago, right? In barely over a year AI has permeated our conversations, our places of work and it feels omnipresent in the culture. It also threatens to make some of the pillars of our society redundant. Join researcher and author Carl Miller for POWER TRIP, a brand new podcast from Intelligence Squared, to see where that journey is leading us.  Want the future right now? Become a supporter of Intelligence Squared to get all five episodes of POWER TRIP to binge in one go. Just visit intelligencesquared.com/membership to find out more.  Technology is going to impact the future of humanity in ways that we may never have predicted and in the coming years perhaps in ways we can no longer control. In this first episode, Carl Miller guides us through the journey of how we got to this point in the story of AI and asks whether historians in the future will look at the era as one of pre-GPT and post-GPT. Featuring Michael Wooldridge, Director of Foundational AI Research at the Turing Institute and professor of computer science at the University of Oxford; Judy Wajcman, Principal Investigator of the Women in Data Science and AI project at The Alan Turing Institute; Henry Ajder, Generative AI & Deepfakes Expert Advisor and AI researcher Connor Leahy, CEO of Conjuncture.

Too often, men design the technology that shapes our world but in this episode we’re getting excited about the feminist possibilities of tech. British Library Curator Polly Russell is joined by Alice Wroe, an Augmented and Virtual Realities Lead at the Atlantic Institute. Together, they’re exploring the diversity issues in the industry and hearing from women who’re working to disrupt the scene. Judy Wajcman, a Fellow at The Alan Turing Institute, looks backwards to explain why from the 80s onwards women in the UK became less involved in this field. Looking to the future, we’re donning Virtual Reality headsets as artist and VR creator Deepa Mann-Kler takes us through some of her alternative projects. Co-Founder of non-profit organisation Feminist Internet Dr Charlotte Webb explores how feminist chatbots can change the ways tech can converse with us. And the self-proclaimed ‘accidental technologist’ Stephanie Dinkins will be questioning how technology can care for us in the future… Unfinished Business podcast series is generously supported by Joanna and Graham Barker and The Eccles Centre for American Studies. A Pixiu Production.

Ödül Bozkurt, Brian O’Connor, and Judy Wajcman ask whether we work too much, and if it's making us bad citizens and unhappy humans

Part 2 of our episode on Melville Dalton's "Men Who Manage" is now released -- but this time we add a feminist perspective on managers and management. Gretta, Miranda, and Catherine welcome Judy Wajcman into the conversation to discuss her 1998 book, "Managing like a man: Women and men in corporate management," which provides an interesting contrast to the experiences expressed by the subjects of Dalton's study and whose evidence debunks many of the myths around possible gender differences in how men and women manage.

Technology’s promise is to “save” time. Its track record in real and psychological terms is often the opposite. A sociologist of science and technology, Judy Wajcman continues her examinations of time pressure and acceleration in the digital age. 
Her latest work considers how calendar software interacts
 with the existing anxieties of our digitally driven lives. Judy Wajcman is the Anthony Giddens Professor of Sociology at the London School of Economics. Professor Wajcman was one of the founding contributors to the field of the social study of Science and Technology, as well as to studies of gender, work and organizations. Her latest books, Pressed for Time and The Sociology of Speed, argue for a sociomaterial approach to the study of time. She was a 02017-18 fellow at the Center for Advanced Studies in the Behavioral Sciences (CASBS) at Stanford, co-sponsors of this talk.

«Auschwitz representa el límite mismo de nuestro pensar»  Sintonizamos con el profesor Javier Moral que nos presenta el libro Antes y después de Auchwitz que ha publicado junto con Pablo Ferrando  claves para pensar sobre  cine, pintura, biopic, nazismo, holocausto, violencia, burocracia, deshumanización, Nicolas Klotz, Michael Haneke lecturas Antes y después de Auschwitz. Pablo Ferrando y Javier Moral películas La cuestión humana, (La question humaine) Nicolas Klotz, 2007 maestros Walter Benjamin Javier Moral en 100 palabras Decía aquella catedrática de sociología australiana que "la historia se repite y eso le hace escéptica respecto al progreso". Nuestro conmicro de hoy es crítico e historiador de la imagen y es uno de los principales especialistas en el estudio del biopic como género. El profesor Javier Moral es Doctor en Comunicación Audiovisual y Licenciado en Bellas Artes y ha sido profesor en diversas universidades españolas. Entre nuestras manos está ahora mismo el libro Antes y después de Auschwitz que ha escrito junto al profesor Pablo Ferrando. El profesor Javier Moral en esta obra titulada "Antes y después de Auschwithz" tal vez comparta con aquella catedrática de sociología australiana conocida como Judy Wajcman la visión de que estamos condenados a repetir la historia.   Esteban Galán.

Could advances in technology like big data, machine learning and robotics replace jobs faster than new ones can be created? How should we understand the impact of automation on the labour market? And how should government and society respond? In the first episode in our 'Work Shift' series exploring the big debates in the changing nature of work, Matthew Taylor discusses the impact of automation with: Michael A. Osborne of Oxford University, who has estimated 47% of US jobs could be automated, Ryan Avent from The Economist and author of the recent book 'The Wealth of Humans: work and its absence in the 21st century' and Judy Wajcman, Professor of Sociology at the London School of Economics.

Sathnam Sanghera, Judy Wajcman, Griselda Togobo and Robert Colvile join Radio 3 presenter Matthew Sweet to look at the history of the workplace from factory floor to hot desk to the gig economy and debate whether the merging of workplace and home creates more stress.Bosses have always monitored and changed our working day, clocking staff in and out the factory, analyzing productivity through time and motion studies, using remote monitoring, introducing flexible working and “logging on later.”Sathnam Sanghera is a journalist and award-winning author of Marriage Material: A Novel and The Boy with the Topknot: A Memoir of Love, Secrets and Lies in Wolverhampton. Before becoming a writer he (among other things) worked at a burger chain, a hospital laundry, a market research firm, a sewing factory and a literacy project in New York.Judy Wajcman is a Professor of Society at LSE and the author of Pressed for Time: The Acceleration of Life in Digital Capitalism .Griselda Togobo is an entrepreneur, engineer, chartered accountant and the head of Forward Ladies, an organisation which aims to help companies maximise the potential of their female staff.Robert Colvile is a journalist and author of The Great Acceleration - a new book about how technology is speeding up the pace of life.Recorded as part of Radio 3's Free Thinking Festival in front of an audience at Sage Gateshead.Producer: Craig Smith

Between traffic-clogged commutes, high stress jobs, and crappy coffee in the breakroom, the daily grind can be painful. Luckily, technology is paving the way for jobs you’ll actually be excited to do. Menial tasks like email can be automated. Decision-making can be done with artificial intelligence. And “deep learning” can teach robots to be creative and even generate ideas. Granted, automation is something Popular Science has been excited (and worried) about for decades, so we turn to our ever-entertaining archives for some historical guidance. The goal today is to integrate these technologies into the workplace in ways that make our jobs easier, safer, or more efficient (without making us humans obsolete). To find out how, we talk to Fumiya Iida, an engineer at the University of Cambridge who builds biologically inspired soft robots to work alongside people. Roboticist Hod Lipson of Columbia University talks up the promise of A.I doctors and lawyers. Judy Wajcman, a sociologist at the London School of Economics, tells us about how these shiny new technologies will soon become so integral to our lives that we’ll no longer notice they’re there. In the coming decades, our jobs, our offices, and even our commutes will likely become unrecognizable. To give us a behind-the-scenes view, Popular Science’s own futuristic information editor Katie Peek takes us on a tour of her ten second commute (via telepresence robot) from Baltimore to New York. And futurist Glen Hiemstra paints a verbal picture of what your next office might look like. (Spoiler alert: It could be on Mars!) Futuropolis is a biweekly podcast on the Panoply network.

Judy Wajcman explains why we immediately interpret our experiences with digital technology as inexorably accelerating everyday life. The technologically tethered, iPhone-addicted figure is an image we can easily conjure. Most of us complain that there aren't enough hours in the day and there are too many e-mails in our thumb-accessible inboxes. This widespread perception that life is faster than it used to be is now ingrained in our culture, and smartphones and the Internet are continually being blamed. But isn't the sole purpose of the smartphone to give us such quick access to people and information that we'll be free to do other things? Isn't technology supposed to make our lives easier? In Pressed for Time, Judy Wajcman explains why we immediately interpret our experiences with digital technology as inexorably accelerating everyday life. She argues that we are not mere hostages to communication devices, and the sense of always being rushed is the result of the priorities and parameters we ourselves set rather than the machines that help us set them. Indeed, being busy and having action-packed lives has become valorized by our productivity-driven culture. Wajcman offers a bracing historical perspective, exploring the commodification of clock time, and how the speed of the industrial age became identified with progress. She also delves into the ways time use differs for diverse groups in modern societies, showing how changes in work patterns, family arrangements, and parenting all affect time stress. Bringing together empirical research on time use and theoretical debates about dramatic digital developments, this accessible and engaging book will leave readers better versed in how to use technology to navigate life's fast lane.
