Logiques impériales et luttes anticoloniales. L’effacement de la France libre en Syrie (1943-1945)
No full textInternational audienceFree France’s attempt to regain control of the mandated territories led to a clash of two processes: the struggle to restore the French Empire against a backdrop of confrontations between great powers, and the fight for Syrian independence. This article explores the political stumbling blocks and reconfigurations in Syria from 1943 to 1945. It highlights how the representations forged in the aftermath of the First World War governed the calculations and mistakes of the actors leading to the advent of a new state.La tentative de reprise en main des territoires mandataires par la France libre conduit à une opposition de deux processus : la lutte pour restaurer l’Empire français dans un contexte d’affrontements des Grandes puissances et le combat pour l’indépendance de la Syrie. Le présent article explore les achoppements et reconfigurations politiques en Syrie de 1943 à 1945. Il souligne comment les représentations forgées au lendemain de la première guerre mondiale président aux calculs et erreurs des acteurs conduisant à l’avènement d’un nouvel État

Life as a cosmic phenomenon facing human culture
No full textInternational audienceAbstract We present perspectives from six panellists on “Life as a cosmic phenomenon facing human culture”, contrasting our experience and knowledge of life as found on Earth with the vastness of the Universe and the fact that Earth-centric and/or anthropocentric views have repeatedly proven untenable. How does an outwards view of projecting Earth-based experience into the cosmos combine with the inwards view of the potential detection of life beyond Earth telling us who we are

Quelques remarques sur les préfaces de deux versions grecques de la Vie d’Hilarion (BHG 752 et 753)
No full textInternational audienceThis article focuses on the circulation of Latin hagiographical literature throughout the Greek-speaking world. The interest of such an approach lies in reversing the traditionally dominant view that the East gives and the West receives, by bringing in material that is often unpublished. Composed by Jerome at the end of the 4th century, the Life of the Monk Hilarion (BHL 3879) was translated into Greek in a variety of contexts. The richness and diversity of the Greek dossier of this Latin legend provide an excellent starting point for examining the linguistic and cultural transfers of Latin hagiographical texts to the Greek-speaking world. Considered the founder of Gazan monasticism, Hilarion was born around 290 in Thabatha, a town near Gaza, and died around 371 in Cyprus. Only a few years after it was written inLatin, this colourful hagiography was translated into Greek. In his De viris illustribus, composed between 392 and 393, Jerome informs us of the existence of a Greek translation written in elegant language and signed by a certain Sophronius. After a brief literature review of the subject, this article presents a comparative study of the prefaces to the two main Greek versions of the legend of Hilarion (Lives BHG752 and 753). Life BHG 752, an extremely rare case of literal translation of a Latin hagiographical text into Greek, is re-edited here in the light of a new manuscript discovery. Probably written by a Latin speaker with a fairly limited knowledge of Greek, Life BHG 752 resembles a first-draft translation and is surprisingly literal, defying the rules of Greek grammar and syntax. On the other hand, the author of Life BHG 753 aspired to rewrite the legend of the monk Hilarion by adapting it to the expectations of its recipients. By looking closely at the two prefaces, we can explore the ways in which a Latin hagiographical text was translated and rewritten in Greek
Puss In Boots: on formalising Arm's Virtual Memory System Architecture (extended version)
No full textWe present our formalisation of Arm’s Virtual Memory System Architecture (VMSA). This work has been developed with, and ratified by, Arm and its partners, and is now part of the Arm Architecture Reference Manual (Arm ARM). As part of this work, we uncovered subtleties in the definition of a feature of the VMSA called Enhanced Translation Synchronisation (ETS), which led Arm to deprecate ETS and replace it with a stronger feature called ETS2. Finally, we present our experimental validation methodology, which required extending KVM-unit-tests, a test harness for the Kernel Virtual Machine (KVM). The corresponding patches are currently be- ing integrated into KVM. We used this infrastructure to run around 1300 VMSA litmus tests on a variety of Arm machines, thereby validating our model w.r.t. existing hardware. Our testing also uncovered infidelities to the definition of a feature called Translation Table Hardware Management, which led Arm to relax its architecture to accommodate those cases
