Lo splendore moderno di villa Madama nella memoria ottocentesca di Louis-Hippolyte Lebas. Un rigoroso programma di “restauration”
No full textLa ricca e inedita raccolta di tavole grafiche realizzate dall’architetto francese Louis-Hippolyte Lebas e relative a villa Madama, conservata presso l’Institut de France di Parigi, prefigura l’unici- tà in magnificenza e in perfezione palesata da un modello architettonico assurto a privilegiato oggetto di studio da uno dei più brillanti allievi formatosi alla scuola di Charles Percier e Antoine-Laurent-Thomas Vaudoyer. Villa Madama – descritta, rilevata e disegnata con profondo rigore e accurata precisione – diviene simbolo d’eccellenza di un organismo moderno nel quale “la magnificence des délices des anciens” si palesa nella celebrazione della dinastia medicea

No full textFrench prepositions "à" and "de" in infinitival complements : A pragma-semantic analysis
No full textInternational audienceWe take the position, represented by some other linguists, which is opposed to the idea that the French prepositions "à" and "de", in the expressions like "hésiter à faire" and "envisager de faire", are "empty" or devoid of any meaning and that they only fulfill a syntactic role. However, it is not really the "meaning" of these prepositions that we are trying to describe, but their pragmatic function. By "pragmatic function" we understand compatibility with some communicative intention of the speaker. This follows the general claim of J. Cervoni (1991) that the study of the prepositions should be placed within the frame of what he calls "pragmatics of the intentional". A pragmatic approach has also been adopted by P. Cadiot (1997), who relates the preposition "de" to a value of "factivity" of the event, expressing that the event is "taken for granted", whereas the opposite is considered to be true for the preposition "à". But, as the author admits himself, this explanation does not account for all the cases. Informed by the ideas of P. Cadiot, as well as those of F. Lebas (1999), we formulate a pragmatic hypothesis attributing a "marked" status to the preposition "à" instead of "de", and according to which à appears when the speaker's intention is to introduce a "not taking for granted" presentation of the event, or a point of view according to which the event is somehow "problematic". The value of the preposition "de", on the contrary, consists in a "not problematic" view of the fact, without, however, meaning that the fact is necessarily "taken for granted" or presupposed (Fraczak, 2003). In this contribution, we undertake to develop these ideas, using some elements of the theory of polyphony of O. Ducrot (1984). We will try to show that the preposition "à" is compatible with marking a real or a potential confrontation of points of view concerning a fact or an event (thus making it problematic in some way). Apart from the constructions "verb + à/de + infinitive", we include in our analysis expressions with an adjective (eg. "apte à faire" / "capable de faire") and with a noun (eg. "capacité à faire" / "capacité de faire")

Choral, orchestral, and choral -orchestral rehearsal techniques to optimize choral -orchestral renditions
No full textThe preparation and performance of a choral-orchestral work can be a fulfilling musical experience. All too often, however, lack of interpretive interaction between the chorus and the orchestra frustrates an artistically successful outcome. This doctoral document presents a philosophy of preparation of choral-orchestral works that promotes the working together of the choral-orchestral ensemble. The author of the document considers choral, orchestral, and choral-orchestral rehearsal techniques that create synergy in the choral-orchestral ensemble an essential tool to optimize choral-orchestral renditions. The rehearsal techniques are described and are applied to the author\u27s preparation and performance of Schubert\u27s Mass in G. Although offering a detailed analysis of the work, as well as reflections on its preparation, this document is not a Conductor\u27s Guide to Schubert\u27s Mass in G. Rather, the intent of the author is to provide an approach to choral-orchestral preparation which can inspire conductors to create their own rehearsal techniques that form synergy in the choral-orchestral ensemble, and to apply them to their preparation of works from the vast choral-orchestral repertoire. Also included in this document are a survey of selected English-language scholarly literature on preparation of choral-orchestral works, and a DVD containing a performance of Schubert\u27s Mass in G conducted by the author
Which ABC? Accounting based on causality rather than activity-based costing
No full textWhen it was first introduced ABC stood for Activity-Based Costing. It originally meant Product Full Cost calculated on the basis of an allocation of indirect costs according to `activities', i.e. what people actually do, also referred to as `processes'. In this article the author suggests that the three letters ABC be used to refer to an accounting approach aimed more at understanding causality and giving decision-makers the possibility to manage costs at the root, rather than limiting it to a method of product cost calculation. This means that ABC should rather be the acronym for Accounting Based on Causality1.

Epuisement. Introduction à la question du désastre en anthropologie. : Séminaire de Barbara Glowczewski "Anthropologie de la perception : l’expression du désastre entre épuisement et création" (CNRS - Collège de France; 2007 - 2008).
No full textCorpus "ARC"Dans le prolongement des recherches menées en 2006/2007 sur les productions médiatiques de l'altérité, le séminaire s'intéressera plus spécifiquement cette année (2007/2008) aux situations extrêmes et à leurs langages. Confronté plus à l'innommable qu'à l'indicible, le désastre appelle en effet une recomposition radicale des termes de sa perception par les acteurs directement touchés, notamment les peuples autochtones, les femmes et les marginalisés. Une telle recomposition perceptive ne peut qu'interroger à son tour la production anthropologique qui veut en rendre compte. Comment articuler les conditions du désastre avec les expériences ultimes qui en sont faites ? Au côté d'une anthropologie réticulaire tenant ensemble la multi-focalité de l'événement, il faudra s'interroger sur la possibilité et la tâche d'une anthropologie du témoin. Toutes les séances s'appuieront sur l'analyse de documents audiovisuels
