    Poésie et théatre de la Réforme entre France et Italie

    No full text
    La préface de Rosanna Gorris Camos et Véronique Ferrer présente le volume Les Muses sacrées. Poésie et Théâtre de la Réforme entre France et Italie, qui réunit les Actes du Colloque de Vérone (les 27-29 novembre 2013). Cet ouvrage, qui présente dix-neuf contributions sur la littérature de la Réforme, est le résultat de la collaboration franco-italienne entre le Gruppo di Studio sul Cinquecento francese, le projet PRIN, Corpus del teatro francese del Rinascimento et le Centre Montaigne / TELEM de l'Université de Bordeaux. Rosanna Gorris Camos et Véronique Ferrer introduisent les questions abordées dans cet important volume en explorant la profonde renovatio spirituelle qui affecte l’Europe du XVIe siècle, en tant que conséquence d’une véritable crise ouverte par les retentissements politiques, sociaux et culturels de la Réforme. Les deux auteurs concentrent leur attention sur cette effervescence, politique et religieuse, qui conduit à un véritable « cangiamento » thématique et stylistique, écrit Rosanna Gorris Camos, concernant la production poétique de l’époque, dont les premières expériences réformées naissent sur les modèles des cantiques spirituels promus par Luther, et le théâtre, se tournant vers l’actualité pour devenir « théâtre de combat », « théâtre de l’épreuve » ou « théâtre de la persuasion ». Si les premières compositions poétiques réformées, dont Mathieu Malingre est l’un des représentants les plus importants, ont un objectif plutôt didactique, résidant surtout dans la divulgation des idées de la nouvelle religion, à partir des années 1550, elles évoluent en véritables poèmes scientifiques et dissidents. Les auteurs de ces derniers textes, en particulier, s’engagent activement dans la satire politique dirigée « contre les ennemis catholiques », écrit Véronique Ferrer, parmi lesquels les Guises, le Pape et Henri III. Parallèlement, même les dramaturges les plus illustres de l’époque, tels que Thédore de Bèze, Jean de la Taille, Chandieu, Louis des Masures, s’adressent à la Bible, écrit Rosanna Gorris Camos, avec le but de mettre en scène la guerre, la violence et la cruauté qui paralysent tous ceux qui y assistent. En évoquant sans cesse le chant de David, l’élu du Seigneur, le théâtre réformé cristallise la souffrance, corporelle et spirituelle, de l’homme du XVIe siècle qui subit, impuissant, les drames de l’Histoire, sans renoncer à l’engagement et, en quelque cas, à exploiter l’énorme puissance du rire, comme le démontre la Comédie du Pape malade de Conrad Banius, qui cache sous un sourire amer le portrait d’un pays malade, corrompu et désespéré

    In this repository we kept the datasets and R code employed for the case study, and the R code employed for the simulation study of the paper: Ferrer-Ferrando et al., 2025. Moreover, a vignette with simulation examples are available. In this vignette we are going to show the procedure employed to simulate data similar to that employed in the manuscript. In these examples we are going to use simple simulations (with lower extension, number of spatial units) to reproduce the simulations followed in the manuscript. Here we are going to develope different procedures: create the environmental layers (predictors), change the spatial resolution of the environmental layers, create the expected abundance of different species (with different spatial patterns), simulate those species’ individuals in space, sample and obtain their abundance values, and obtain their occurrences (detection) values.Peer reviewe

    David Zimmer Christmas letter

    No full text
    This Christmas letter written November 30, 1999, by David Zimmer is titled "Season's Greetings from the last of the Red-Hot-Santas!" It features an illustration of Santa Claus with a guitar, and a summary of Zimmer's year. David Zimmer (1929-2005) was born in Harrisburg, Ohio. He enlisted in the U.S. Army and served for two years during the Korean War at the Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio, where he performed in drag for wounded soldiers. After the war, he returned to Ohio. Zimmer performed as Dolly Divine, a name inspired by the song "Hello Dolly." In 1964, he established the Berwick Ball with Orn Huntington, another important early gay activist in Central Ohio. The Ball began as a formal Halloween costume ball that provided a safe space to gather and enjoy drag shows for the gay community each year; over the years, it grew into an annual Halloween tradition and an important fundraiser for the AIDS movement and other charities. During the 1970s, Zimmer was also known for hosting lavish parties at his Harrisburg home. In 1989, he moved to the German Village area of Columbus where he remained active in the community. During the 1990s, Zimmer continued to perform in and out of drag and commissioned costume designer Dick Frank to make elaborate outfits. Zimmer worked for Huntington National Bank for 39 years and was a member of the Harrisburg United Methodist Church, Veterans of Foreign Wars and the German Village Society
