Ricard de Capmany, decorador modernista en Barcelona
No full textRicard de Capmany, autor de una de las obras Modernistas más evocadoras y míticas, el desaparecido café Torino de Barcelona, es un gran desconocido del que, hasta ahora, se tenían poco datos de su trayectoria. Mucho más que un decorador, Capmany se nos revela como un personaje poliédrico, un esteta que busca en el arte sobreponerse a una realidad que le desagrada.Ricard de

Perturbations in the Earth's rotation induced by internal density anomalies: implications for sea-level fluctuations
No full textThe effects of internal mass anomalies on the Earth's rotation are analyzed within the framework of linearized Liouville equations and Maxwell rheology for the mantle. Our approach is appropriate for a simplified modeling of subduction. Sea-level fluctuations induced by long-term rotational instabilities are also considered. -from Author
Premièrs romans de la génération lyrique
No full textAccording to Francois Ricard in La generation lyrique: essai sur la vie at l'oeuvre des premiers-nes du baby-boom , the group born in Quebec during the decade immediately following the Second World War is primarily characterized by "[...] un amour eperdu de soi-meme, une confiance categorique en ses propres desirs et ses propres actions, et le sentiment d'un pouvoir illimite sur le monde [...]" (p. 8).The objective of the present research was to determine more precisely whether the first novel of writers of the lyric generation reflected the spirit particular to that generation, in what way and to what extent. In other words, the present work consisted of either confirming or invalidating Ricard's hypothesis by analysing it in the light of the literary works themselves.Twenty-three novels were chosen according to the year of their publication (1967--1975) and the age of the authors at the time of publication (between 21 and 31 years).An analysis of the works clearly confirmed Ricard's intuition: egocentricity and introspection, revolution and reinvention of literary style and narcissism were consistently present in the novels studied. These characteristics stem from a clear dominance of the autodiegetic narration style, the control of elements of time and space by the narrator, who is often personally identifiable with the author and finally from an upheaval of scriptural standards. The thematic of the style of writing as an outlet, a pleasure or an experimentation is ever present. The narrators themselves dominate the stage and their narcissistic personalities are evident throughout
