The new enfant du siècle: Joseph de Maistre as a writer
No full textThe essays contained within this volume were first presented at Reappraisals/Reconsidérations, the Fifth International Colloquium on Joseph de Maistre, held at Jesus College, Cambridge on 4 and 5 December 2008.Series editor-in-chief: Guy Rowlands, University of St AndrewsJoseph de Maistre's reputation as a writer is legendary. His style, unique and alive, moulded the French language anew. It sabotaged his attempts at anonymous publication and earned him, through the centuries, the praises of enemies and admirers. Yet the relationship between Maistre's thought and writing remains ill-known. This collection is the first to examine how Maistre's ideas – including his denunciation of the written word – intersected with his writing practices and personas. The essays disclose an author formed by duty and affectionate relationships, by the conventions of public combat, by an intense sense of history, and by the imperatives of Revolution.Introduction: assessing Maistre's style and rhetoric / Richard A.

Aux sources d’une pédagogie universelle : l’œuvre de Joseph-Antoine Anglade, instituteur à Alger (1914-1939)
No full textInternational audienceThis article aims to highlight the work of Joseph-Antoine Anglade, a teacher from Algiers, pioneer of special education in Algeria in the 1920s. After retracing the teacher’s career path, the article analyzes a text published by Anglade himself in the Revue pédagogique in 1923. In this text, the author formalizes his practice of special pedagogy by relying on numerous theoretical references. This analysis leads to a dialogue, at a century of distance, the reflective practice of this teacher with some of the contemporary questions, raised by the education of students with disabilities, in particular those relating to debates on inclusive education and universal design for learning.Cet article a pour objectif de mettre en lumière le travail de Joseph-Antoine Anglade, instituteur algérois, pionnier de l’enseignement spécialisé dans les années 1920. Après avoir retracé l’itinéraire professionnel de cet instituteur, l’article analyse l’un de ses textes, publié dans la Revue pédagogique en 1923. Dans ce texte, l’auteur formalise sa pratique de la pédagogie de perfectionnement en s’appuyant sur de nombreuses références théoriques. Cette analyse conduit à faire dialoguer, à un siècle de distance, la pratique réflexive de ce pédagogue avec certaines des questions contemporaines, soulevées par la scolarisation des élèves en situation de handicap, notamment celles relatives aux débats portant sur l’éducation inclusive et la « pédagogie universelle »

Joseph Beuys: through the œuvre
No full textThis richly illustrated and annotated compilation indisputably represents “a major monograph” about the œuvre of Joseph Beuys, even though it is situated this side of a historical analysis, properly so-called, and presents the œuvre from within, based on reading keys set forth in their smallest details, keys peculiar to the author. The philosopher and visual artist Jean-Philippe Antoine in fact here offers us a masterly synthesis of his earlier books and articles devoted to the analysis of im..

Ceci est mon testament: Marc-Antoine Laugier
No full textThe demolition the monolithic interpretation the engraving, which accompanies as
Irontispiece Marc-Antoine Laugier's Essai sur l'Architecture, object the present work,
aims to liberate the question about the origin architecture Irom the vicious circle
created between the image the primitive hut and the myth the noble savage hidden
within il.
The engraving is without a doubt, the most prestigious image architectural history.
Nevertheless, the study historical conditions lor its production, relutes the signilicance
usually attributed to it: The image is not about the origins architecture, does not
represent a primitive hut and its author is not Marc-Antoine Laugier.
The image belongs to the ligurative repertoire draughtsman and engraver
Charles-Dominique-Joseph Eisen and is not about a realistic representation a
construction, but an allegory composed out the basic elements the religious theme
Annunciation, pointing out to the importance the natural image lor a temple, whose
lundamental composition is derived out the column as a metaphor lor Christ's body.
This investigation's contribution lies in the exclusive study the accompanying
Irontispiece to Laugier's work. The lirst edition the Essai sur l'Architecture 1753 did
not include the image, which appeared only until the edition 1755.
A comparative study between the two editions, the reconstruction the engraving's
historical circumstances and the delinition the role each the actors who played a
part in the making the books and the creation the image, makes way lor proposing
a new interpretation such.
Giving primacy to the physical medium the content a written document, vindicates
the value a book not just lor what is said in it, but as a lormal element valuable in
pointing out the historical processes lor its production, edition, commercialisation and
diffusion, as well as clues about its possible readers and circulation in cultural mediums,
all lorming essential inlormation lor developing the image's interpretation.
Aiming the research thus, also made possible the linding unedited inlormation about
Laugier, such as his will. On the other hand, the study the «Inventory after decease»
bookseller Nicolas-Bonaventure Duchesne, served as the basis lor discarding the
hypothesis the printing a second edition as a result the lirst edition's success and
even points out the the commercial and editorial lailure the second edition, which
contains the engraving.
The precise identilication all the authors taking part in the conception and making
the image, led to linding the original drawing by Charles-Dominique-Joseph Eisen. The
comparison between the original drawing and the engraving signals key difieren ces
which open up the horizon lor the interpretation new meanings.La demolición de la monolítica interpretación del grabado que acompaña como frontispicio el libro de Marc-Antoine Laugier, Essai sur l’Architecture, y objeto del presente trabajo, busca liberar la pregunta por el origen de la arquitectura del círculo vicioso creado entre la imagen de la cabaña primitiva y el mito del buen salvaje que se refugian en ella.
El grabado es sin duda la imagen más prestigiosa de la historia de la arquitectura. Sin embargo el estudio de las condiciones históricas de su producción, desmiente el significado que se le suele atribuir: La imagen no trata del origen de la arquitectura, no representa una cabaña primitiva, y su autor no es el abad Marc-Antoine Laugier.
La imagen pertenece al repertorio figurativo del dibujante y grabador Charles-Dominique-Joseph Eisen, y no se trata de una representación realista de una construcción, sino de una alegoría compuesta a partir de los elementos constitutivos del tema religioso de la Anunciación, que pone en primer plano la importancia de la imagen natural de un templo, cuyos fundamentos compositivos parten del uso de la columna como metáfora del cuerpo de Cristo.
El aporte de esta investigación radica en el estudio exclusivo del frontispicio que acompaña la obra de Laugier. La primera edición del Essai sur l’Architecture de 1753 no contaba con la imagen, que sólo aparece en la edición de 1755.
Un estudio comparativo de ambas ediciones, la reconstrucción de las circunstancias históricas de la ejecución del grabado y la definición del papel de cada uno de los actores que intervinieron en la realización de los libros y en la creación de la imagen, permite proponer una nueva interpretación del mismo.
Dar prioridad al soporte físico del contenido de un documento escrito reivindica el valor del libro no sólo por lo que en él se dice, sino como elemento formal valioso por las indicaciones que contiene sobre los procesos históricos de su producción, edición, comercialización y difusión, así como indicios sobre sus potenciales lectores y medios culturales en los que circula, todos datos fundamentales para desarrollar una interpretación sobre la imagen.
Orientar la investigación en este sentido permitió además encontrar información inédita sobre Marc-Antoine Laugier, como su testamento. Por otro lado, el estudio del «Inventario después de fallecimiento» del librero Nicolas-Bonaventure Duchesne sirvió de base para descartar la hipótesis de la aparición de la segunda edición como resultado del éxito de la primera y permite incluso afirmar que esta segunda edición —la cual contiene el grabado— fue un desastre económico y editorial.
La identificación precisa de todos los autores que participaron en la concepción y realización de la imagen culminó en el encuentro del dibujo original de Charles-Dominique-Joseph Eisen. La comparación entre el dibujo original y el grabado muestra diferencias importantes que abren el horizonte de interpretación a nuevos significados.DOCTORAT EN PROJECTES ARQUITECTÒNICS (Pla 1998
Spectropolarimetry of life: Airborne measurements from a hot air balloon
No full textDoes life exist outside our Solar System A first step towards searching for life outside our Solar System is detecting life on Earth by using remote sensing applications. One powerful and unambiguous biosignature is the circular polarization resulting from the homochirality of biotic molecules and systems. We aim to investigate the possibility of identifying and characterizing life on Earth by using airborne spectropolarimetric observations from a hot air balloon during our field campaign in Switzerland, May 2022. In this proceeding we present the optical-setup and the data obtained from aerial circular spectropolarimetric measurements of farmland, forests, lakes and urban sites. We make use of the well-calibrated FlyPol instrument that measures the fractionally induced circular polarization (V/I) of (reflected) light with a sensitivity of < 10-4. The instrument operates in the visible spectrum, ranging from 400 to 900 nm. We demonstrate the possibility to distinguish biotic from abiotic features using circular polarization spectra and additional broadband linear polarization information. We review the performance of our optical-setup and discuss potential improvements. This sets the requirements on how to perform future airborne spectropolarimetric measurements of the Earth's surface features from several elevations.

Cher Antoine : Jean Anouilh\u27s reflection on his own works
No full textThis examination of plays by Jean Anouilh will uphold the thesis that Anouilh\u27s most recent play offers an over-all judgment of his own work. Furthermore, while the play itself manages to be rather successful, the conclusion to be drawn from it is that the author has failed to attain success he sought
Big Data, Big Libraries, Big Problems?: the 2014 LibTech Anti-talk?
No full textThe desire to create automatons is a familiar theme in human history, and during the age of the Enlightenment mechanical automatons became not only an “emblem of the cosmos”, but a symbol of man’s confidence that he would unlock nature’s greatest mysteries and fully harness her power. And yet only a century later, automatons had begun to represent human repression and servitude, a theme later picked up by writers of science fiction. Man’s confidence undeterred, the endgame of the modern scientific and technological mindset, or MSTM, seems to be increasingly coming into view with the rise of “information technology” in general and “Big data” in particular. Along with those who wield them, these can be seen as functioning together as a “mechanical muse” of sorts – surprisingly alluring – and, like a physical automaton can serve as a symbol – a microcosm – of what the MSTM sees (at the very least in practice) as the cosmic machine, our “final frontier”. And yet, individuals who unreflectively participate in these things – giving themselves over to them and seeking the powers afforded by the technology apart from technology’s rightful purposes – in fact yield to the same pragmatism and reductionism those wielding them are captive to. Thus, they ultimately nullify themselves philosophically, politically, and economically – their value increasingly being only the data concerning their persons, and its perceived usefulness. Likewise libraries, the time-honored place of, and symbol for, the intellectual flowering of the individual, will, insofar as they spurn the classical liberal arts (with the idea that things are intrinsically good, and in the case of humans, special as well) in favor of the alluring embrace of MSTM-driven “information technology” and Big data - unwittingly contribute to their irrelevance and demise as they find themselves increasingly less needed, valued, wanted. Likewise for the liberal arts as a whole, and in fact history itself, if the acid of a “science” untethered from what is, in fact, good (intrinsically), continues to gain strengt
