Dear Jacques ... Lecoq in the twenty first century
No full textThis essay considers Jacques Lecoq's influence almost 20 years after his death. Arguing that Lecoq's pedagogy is largely as relevant today as it was when he was still alive, the author speculates whether Lecoq would have welcomed developments in the use of digital technology within live performance. The essay proposes that much of Lecoq's teaching with its emphasis on play, complicite, invention, imagination and the creative actor remains relevant to contemporary developments in site-specific, immersive and postdramatic theatre. The essay is constructed in the form of a posthumous letter to Jacques Lecoq
Essai de vulgarisation des homélies métriques de Jacques de Saroug
No full textIn this series of articles originally published in Revue de l’Orient Chrétien from 1912-1914, Babakhan aimed to popularize the work of Jacob of Sarug, a large collection of whose homilies had recently appeared in the monumental edition of Paul Bedjan. Babakhan gives, with very brief introductions, rhymed French translations of five of Jacob’s homilies, namely, Bedjan’s nos. 2 (on the descent of the most high on Mount Sinai, and the symbol of the Church), 95 (on the decapitation of John the Baptist), 99 (on the Apostle Thomas), 103 (on the love of money), and 194 (on the end of the world, and marriage), with some parts omitted. This French translation may still serve as a vehicle of introduction to Jacob’s poetry, much of which remains untranslated
Da ideia de infância em Jean-Jacques Rousseau ou do "sono da razão"
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina. Centro de Ciencias da Educação. Programa de Pós-Graduação em EducaçãoOs pensamentos expostos no século XVIII pelo genebrino Jean-Jacques Rousseau influenciaram de maneira decisiva a forma como o Ocidente passou a perceber a infância. Este autor provocou uma verdadeira divisão de águas ao publicar Emílio ou Da Educação (1762). Com este feito, mais que balançar os alicerces educacionais da época, ele delega à criança um lugar no mundo. A infância passa a ter um valor em si mesma, e a ser vista como etapa fundamental na constituição humana. Ao destacar este período da vida, além de romper definitivamente com o que vigorava em seu tempo, no qual a criança era tida como um erro passageiro - um infante (aquele que não fala); um "adulto em miniatura"; ou mero objeto de paparicação e prazer - Jean-Jacques cria uma ótica inovadora de conceber a criança. Dizia que: "A natureza quer que as crianças sejam crianças antes de serem homens." Ao elaborar um conceito de infância, Rousseau afirma que "a infância é o sono da razão". O que nos surpreende devido este autor ter vivido em pleno "Século das Luzes", justamente quando a razão era evocada como o guia seguro para o pensamento e para ação em todas as idades. Ao contrário do que possa parecer, Rousseau não desmerece o período infantil, associando-o à escuridão ou a inferioridade primeira da humanidade. Ele é considerado o "inventor da infância". Retomar pensamentos que versam sobre essas ideias rousseaunianas, inaugurais da concepção moderna de Infância, por meio de pesquisa teórica, é o objetivo traçado aqui, com intuito de avançar nas compreensões estabelecidas em torno das contribuições de Jean-Jacques Rousseau para temática em exame.The thoughts exposed in the eighteenth century by the genevan, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, influenced in a decisive way the West has to realize his childhood. This author has caused a real division of the waters or publish Emile, or On Education (1762). With this done more than shake the foundations of educational time, it leaves the child a place in the world. The child is given a value in itself, and be seen as key step in the human constitution. By highlighting this period of life, and the final break with that which prevailed in his time, in which the child was seen as a mistake passenger - an infant (who does not speak), a "miniature adult" or mere object of pampering and pleasure - Jean-Jacques creates a new perspective to conceive a child. He said: "Nature wants children to be children before being men." In developing a concept of childhood, Rousseau says that "childhood is the sleep of reason". What surprises us because this author has lived in the middle of "Age of Enlightenment", just when the reason was mentioned as the sure guide for thought and action in all ages. Contrary to what may seem, Rousseau does not diminish the infantile period, associating him to the darkness or the inferiority of humanity first. He is considered the "inventor of childhood." Resume thoughts that talk about these ideas Rousseau, the inaugural modern conception of childhood, through theoretical research, stroke is the goal here, with the aim to advance the understandings established around the contributions of Jean-Jacques Rousseau to thematic examination
M. Garnerin's Own Account

An accompanying engraving shows the balloon with parachute attached, and a smaller image with the parachute detached.For more information about this item, visit https://archivesspace.mit.edu/repositories/2/digital_objects/66
Incertitude sur les prix des matières premières : diffusion et politique économique comme déterminants
No full textA thorough understanding of commodity markets is now more crucial than ever, given the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak, the war in Ukraine, and the ongoing transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy commodities. These price movements are typically attributed to volatility shocks. However, economic disruptions reveal evidence that commodity price fluctuations can also stem from a significant element of uncertainty, highlighting the heterogeneity of commodity markets and the diverse economic forces that influence them. This thesis sheds light on three primary drivers of commodity price uncertainty. Chapter 1 emphasizes macro-financial uncertainty as the primary driver of commodity price uncertainty, analyzing the diffusion of uncertainty across markets. In a similar vein, Chapter 2 examines economic policy uncertainty as the second driver of uncertainty in oil and copper markets, analyzing it at a disaggregated level. Finally, Chapter 3 explores how European low-carbon policies influence uncertainty in fossil energy prices. We disentangle aspects of low-carbon policies using two indicators: a news-based indicator and a structural laws-based indicator. Our main finding suggests that low-carbon policies contribute to reducing price uncertainty in fossil energy markets. This result holds true even when considering uncertainty related to the international environment.Une meilleure analyse des marchés des matières premières est plus que jamais essentielle au regard de l'épidémie de COVID-19, de la guerre en Ukraine et de la transition des énergies fossiles vers les énergies renouvelables. Les fluctuations des prix sont généralement attribuées à des chocs de volatilité. Cependant, les crises économiques récentes ont montré que ces fluctuations des prix révèlent une importante composante d'incertitude, questionnant ainsi l'hétérogénéité de ces marchés et les différents facteurs économiques qui les régissent. Cette thèse met en lumière trois principaux facteurs d'incertitude sur les prix des matières premières. Le chapitre 1 met en évidence l'incertitude macro-financière comme le premier facteur d'incertitude sur les prix, en analysant la diffusion de l'incertitude entre les marchés. Le chapitre 2 analyse, à un niveau désagrégé, l'incertitude liée à la politique économique comme deuxième facteur d'incertitude sur les marchés du pétrole et du cuivre. Enfin, le chapitre 3 examine l'influence des politiques européennes à faibles émissions de carbone sur l'incertitude des prix des énergies fossiles. Nous identifions les différents aspects des politiques à faibles émissions de carbone à travers deux indicateurs : un indicateur basé sur la presse et un indicateur structurel basé sur les textes de lois. Notre principal résultat suggère que les politiques à faibles émissions de carbone contribuent à réduire l'incertitude des prix sur les marchés des énergies fossiles. Ce résultat demeure cohérent lorsqu'on considère l'incertitude liée à l'environnement international
How does the economic policy uncertainty factor in the dynamics of oil price uncertainty?
No full textInternational audienceThis paper investigates the endogenous relationship between economic policy uncertainty (EPU) and oil price uncertainty within a framework of a supply-demand shock identification model. Our empirical strategy relies on a structural vector autoregressive approach. Our major findings reveal a significant increase in oil price uncertainty from a positive EPU shock. We also demonstrate that a negative oil supply shock contributes to raising oil price uncertainty, whereas a positive demand shock causes oil price uncertainty to decline
Relationality, polemics, incommensurability: thinking the political at the intersections of the work of Jacques Derrida and Michel Foucault
No full textPhDThis thesis is focused on the intersections of ontology and politics in the work of Michel
Foucault and Jacques Derrida. In particular it concerns the ways in which these two thinkers
offer accounts of (ethical, social, political) relations which exceed a traditional dichotomy
between transcendentalism and empiricism. Both Derrida and Foucault show universal
foundations to originate in an anterior play of differences 'between' the transcendental and
empirical. However, as this thesis shows, each thinks this anterior 'medium' of relations in
radically incommensurable ways: as differance or aporia in Derrida and as power and
problematization in Foucault. As such, each necessarily views the other as failing to account
for the ‘true medium’ of relationality and so of its violent effacement and disavowal. This
incommensurability, it is argued, results in a polemic between them which is explicit in their
competing accounts of Descartes’ Meditations and implicit throughout all of their work. This
thesis traces the polemic between Derrida and Foucault across their accounts of subjectivity,
ethics and politics. It is argued that in their engagements with each of these fields they
employ parallel politicizing strategies which are nevertheless wholly exclusive of one another.
The incommensurability between Derrida and Foucault reflects a broader problematic
which any political thought affirming its own finitude cannot explicitly recognize. Postfoundational
accounts of relationality, it is claimed, violently exclude competing
philosophical strategies without the capacity of accounting for this exclusion
Can We Tell Stories Out of Our Memories? The Contributions of Derrida and Benjamin
No full textThe author draws from Jacques Derrida’s and Walter Benjamin’s writings on
memory in order to argue that as these two thinkers deal with the simultaneity
of the diachronic and synchronic dimension of time they open up the
possibility of thinking about the relation between memory and narrative in a
more complex way. These two theorists affirm the discontinuity and the nonrecognition
between past events and present discourses and show the danger of
conflating memory and narrative without the awareness of its limits
