Mineralogical and geochemical investigation of seafloor massive sulfides from Panarea Platform (Aeolian Arc, Tyrrhenian Sea)
No full textPanarea seafloor hydrothermal system is associated with a range of mafic to felsic volcanic rocks. The hydrothermal system is active at present and discharges magmatic–hydrothermal fluids and precipitates massive sulfides. The sulfides exhibit multi-stage deposition, evident in the alternation of several mineral generations that follow a general temporal precipitation sequence: marcasite → alunite → opal. Sr–Nd–Pb isotope data indicate that most of the metals in the sulfides are derived predominantly from the Panarea volcanic rocks with some contribution from ambient seawater and/or local sediments. A remarkable feature of these sulfides is their chondrite-normalized rare earth element (REEN) distribution pattern with a pronounced negative Eu anomaly, which has not been observed previously. Our study demonstrates that this REEN pattern reflects the REE fractionation during sulfide deposition. The ionic radius mismatch between Eu2+ (the main form of Eu in reduced, high-temperature hydrothermal fluids) and the only possible site for REE substitution in the marcasite, that of Fe2+, suggests a crystallographic control on the REEN pattern. Apparently, marcasite precipitation can generate a sulfide deposit with a negative Eu anomaly due to discrimination against Eu2+ relative to REE3+ in the Fe2+ crystallographic sit

Quotiescumque : Greek Origin of a Latin Confessor’s Guide
No full textThe guidebook for confessors that is called after its first name ‘Quotiescumque’ was a
widespread text in the Middle Ages. One part of it, a priest’s preparatory prayer for hearing
one or more confessions, even still appears in a Ritual published at Würzburg in 1836. The
present study shows that this confessor’s guide is the Latin translation of a Greek model, with
the exception of two interpolations by a Latin author. This thesis is based on the fact that
there is also a Greek text of the priest’s prayer and Quotiescumque includes a rule on fasting
that can only have been written by a Greek author ... The purpose of my study is, first, to prove that the confessor’s guide Quotiescumque is the
Latin translation of a Greek text. Quotiescumque is called after its first word ‘Quotiescunque
(christianis qui ad paenitentiam accedunt ieiunia damus)’. The other aims of my book are: to
present the texts of the various sections of Quotiescumque, to explain these texts by analyzing
them and by adducing other texts that shed light upon those of the confessor’s guide and,
finally, to show the influence of the writing over an area including France, Germany and Italy,
and over a period of about 10 centuries
Gendelettre:De vormende jaren van Frans Erens, 1857-1893
No full textFrans Erens (1857-1935) is regarded as "the Eighties man from Limburg," who took his own place within the Eighties Movement based on his origins, Catholic faith and international education. In 1884 he joined Flanor, the Amsterdam association that is considered the birthplace of the Eighties. Earlier, in Paris, he actively participated in the rise of the Symbolists. Gendelettre attempts to answer the intriguing question of how Erens' success in both Paris and Amsterdam can be explained and looks for that answer in his self-fashioning and the factors that contributed to it. The study also paints a picture of the world of letters at a crucial moment in the literary history of both countries, France and the Netherlands. Previously unreprinted texts by the author enrich this first scholarly biography of Frans Erens. Jean Frins (b. 1982) was accompanied in his writing by professors Mary Kemperink (University of Groningen) and Kees Snoek (Sorbonne Université Paris)

Leesoefeningen in het onvermogen : filiatiedynamiek en waarneming van de andersheid in Frans Kellendonks romans
No full textCould a literary text contain the instructions for its own reading? This PhD thesis attempts to answer this question through the analysis of four novels by the Dutch author Frans Kellendonk (1951-1990), i.e. Bouwval (1977), De nietsnut. Een vertelling (1979), Letter en geest. Een spookverhaal (1982) and Mystiek lichaam. Een geschiedenis (1986). It may therefore be possible to find, disseminated within the text, elements that determine the most suitable way to apprehend it. This leads to another question: is there an ‘ethical’ reading to which the text could invite its reader? This issue also substantiates why Frans Kellendonk’s works have been chosen: he has frequently been described as a ‘misread’ author. This PhD thesis is divided into two parts. The first part is dedicated to the power of representation as it is practised and perceived by some characters, primarily by the son. In each novel, the son has to represent his ghostly father through imitation and narration. Nevertheless, it appears that the depiction is deficient. Because of its linguistic nature, representation will never be able to portray the father entirely. He will never be more than an effect of the son’s enunciation. This textual approach demonstrates that an ‘atopic’ perception of the father could substitute for his representation. This perception would be open enough to recognise the otherness and the narcissistic dimension that always characterize focalisation. The father could function as an invitation to this ‘atopic perception’ when he lets himself be seen by his son. The second part of this thesis analyses the modes of appearance of atopy. The different approaches which will be successively used are: irony (Linda Hutcheon, Paul de Man, Sébastien Rongier…); tragedy (Paul Ricoeur, Jean-Marie Domenach…), grotesque (Mikhaïl Bakhtine, Dominique Iehl, Wolfgang Kayser, Jan Kott, Stéphanie Vanasten…) and a Derridian reading of the Lacanian notion of ‘entre-deux-morts’ (‘in between two deaths’). On the basis of this research, eight rules for an atopic perception of otherness are suggested. Three concrete applications bring the ethical dimension of this approach to the fore. In addition to an ethics of the welcoming of the other and an ethics of memory and History, emphasis is placed on a suggestion to consider the dynamics of filiation in Kellendonk’s novels as an allegory of reading – a reading that recognises its own incapacity. An ethical reading would, in fact, achieve itself in the awareness of its own inability.Un texte littéraire pourrait-il contenir les consignes pour sa propre lecture ? C’est la question à laquelle tente de répondre cette recherche doctorale à partir de quatre romans de l’auteur néerlandais Frans Kellendonk (1951-1990). Ces quatre romans sont Bouwval (1977), De nietsnut. Een vertelling (1979), Letter en geest. Een spookverhaal (1982) et Mystiek lichaam. Een geschiedenis (1986). Il serait donc peut-être possible de retrouver, disséminés dans le texte, des éléments qui déterminent la façon la plus appropriée de l‘appréhender. De là découle la question de savoir s’il existe une lecture ‘éthique’, à laquelle le texte littéraire pourrait inviter son lecteur. C’est cette même problématique qui a convoqué le choix de l’auteur, la critique ayant maintes fois qualifié Frans Kellendonk d’auteur ‘mal lu’. La thèse est composée de deux parties. La première se penche sur le pouvoir de la représentation telle qu’elle est pratiquée et perçue par certains personnages. En effet, il apparaît que dans chacun des romans, le personnage du fils est amené à représenter son père fantomatique par l’imitation et la narration de celui-ci. Or, il s’avère que cette représentation est lacunaire. Par sa nature langagière, elle ne parviendra jamais à narrer le père dans son entièreté. Celui-ci ne sera jamais que l’effet de l’énonciation filiale. L’approche textuelle démontre qu’à la représentation du père pourrait se substituer une perception ‘atopique’ de celui-ci – perception ouverte sur la différance et la dimension narcissique qui accompagnent toujours déjà toute perception, et à laquelle inviterait le père lorsqu‘il se laisse voir par son fils. C’est à une étude des modes d’apparition de l’atopie que se consacre la deuxième partie de la thèse, avec comme angles d’approche successifs : l’ironie (Linda Hutcheon, Paul de Man, Sébastien Rongier…) le tragique (Paul Ricoeur, Jean-Marie Domenach…), le grotesque (Mikhaïl Bakhtine, Dominique Iehl, Wolfgang Kayser, Jan Kott, Stéphanie Vanasten…) et une lecture derridienne de la notion lacanienne d’ ‘entre-deux- morts’. Sur base de cette étude sont proposées huit règles pour une perception atopique de l’altérité. La portée éthique de cette approche est mise en évidence par la formulation de trois applications concrètes. A côté d’une éthique de l’accueil de l’autre et une éthique de la mémoire et de l’Histoire, l’accent est mis sur une proposition de considérer la dynamique filiale dans les romans de Frans Kellendonk comme une allégorie de la lecture – une lecture qui reconnaît sa propre incapacité. La lecture éthique s’accomplirait, en effet, dans la conscience de sa propre incapacité.(GERM 3) -- UCL, 200
