Noves aportacions sobre l'obra gràfica de Joan Carles Panyó i Figaró (1755-1840)
No full textThis article presents new information in regards to the collection of drawings by J. C. Panyó preserved in the Library of Catalonia, as well as contributions from private collections. In the first place, the drawing of the monument of columns and lions dedicated to the celebrations of the arrival of the king and queen to Barcelona is analysed in order to amend the traditionally attributed chronology. This is followed by a close study of the drawing of the Holy Thursday monument in Tura Church in Olot, of which a new, more thorough version has also been discovered. Lastly, this paper includes a bundle of letters between Panyóand Esteve Estorch, a merchant from Olot.These documents evince that Panyó wasa versatile artist and designer, since the
master was not only a pedagogue, painter and decorator, but he also designed civil buildings and made artistic contributions to religious buildings.Aquest article presenta noves dades respecte al recull de dibuixos de JC Panyó conservats a la Biblioteca Nacional de Catalunya, així com aportacions provinents de col·leccions particulars. En el treball, s’analitzen concretament els dibuixos del monument de columnes i lleons dedicat als fasts reials per tal d’esmenar-ne la cronologia tradicionalment atribuïda; en segon lloc, el del monument de Dijous Sant de l’església del Tura d’Olot, del qual també s’ha descobert una nova versió més acurada, i, en darrer terme, s’inclou un lligall de cartes pertanyents a la correspondència entre Panyó i Esteve Estorch, comerciant de la vila olotina. Aquests documents evidencien que Panyó era un artista i dissenyador versàtil, ja que el mestre, a més de pedagog, pintor i decorador, també va concebre edificis civils i feu intervencions en edificis d’ús religiós
Un diari (espiritual) de joventut de mossèn Josep M. Marquès i Planagumà (1960-1962) (II)
No full textThe article continues with the edition of the second part of the youth diary that was written between 1958 and 1962 by the Catalan ecclesiastic and historian Josep Maria Marquès Planagumà (1939-2007). The pages extend from 1960 to the middle of 1962 and reflect not only the personality of its author but the lifestyle of a Catalan seminarian who, in addition, was a servant of the bishop, that is, he performed domestic services and lived in the Episcopal Palace. This time also coincides with the years before the start of the Second Vatican Council (1962) and the priestly ordination of its author (1963)L’article continua amb l’edició de la segona part del diari de joventut que entre 1958 i 1962 va redactar l’eclesiàstic i historiador català Josep Maria Marquès i Planagumà (1939-2007). Les pàgines s’estenen des de 1960 fins a mitjan 1962 i reflecteixen no tan sols la personalitat del seu autor, sinó el règim de vida d’un seminarista català que, a més, fou fàmul del bisbe, és a dir, feia serveis domèstics i vivia al Palau episcopal. Aquest temps coincideix, també, amb els anys previs a l’inici del Concili Vaticà II (1962) i de l’ordenació sacerdotal del seu autor (1963
Joan Carles Panyó i Figaró (1755-1840), director de les escoles de dibuix d'Olot i de Girona, i la seva obra gràfica
No full textAquest treball és fruit de la investigació que va iniciar l'autora amb el treball de fi de grau (2019-2020), De l’Escola de Dibuix (1783) a l’Escola d’Olot (1877). A dia d’avui, però, l’estudi aprofundit de l’obra gràfica del pintor mataroní Joan Carles Panyó i Figaró, així com el seu encaix en la historiografia de l’art català, han esdevingut l’objectiu primordial en la finalització del màster de Recerca en Humanitats (UdG) d’aquest darrer any acadèmi
Petrophysical and Mechanical Characterization of the Volcanic Rocks in the Hellisheiði Geothermal Field and implications of Thermal Fracturing in CO2 mineralization
No full textThe level of advancement in the understanding of the mechanical properties of volcanic rocks is comparatively lower than that of sedimentary rocks. As part of the SUCCEED Project (Synergetic Utilisation of CO2 Storage Coupled with Geothermal Energy Deployment), which aims to investigate the feasibility of injecting captured and produced CO2 into the reservoirs to enhance geothermal production and achieve permanent CO2 storage at the Hellisheiði Geothermal Field in Iceland, this experimental research provides significant insights into the petrophysical and mechanical properties of the volcanic rocks collected from surface outcrops. The subsurface in Hellisheiði is mainly built up of hyaloclastite formations and interglacial basaltic lavas. During a field campaign samples were collected in different outcrops, ensuring that the samples were of high quality and sufficiently diverse to enable comprehensive analysis. Four samples per block and rock type have been prepared from the collected blocks, and they have been subjected to different laboratory tests to evaluate their petrophysical properties, such as porosity, density, and permeability, and their geomechanical behavior, using Unconfined Compression Test (UCS), Active-Source Acoustic Test, and Splitting Tensile Strength Test. Additionally, laboratory experiments have been conducted to investigate the impact of rapid cooling on rock damage due to thermal fracturing. The results show that there are interdependent relationships between porosity, bulk density, ultimate strength, Young's modulus, and wave velocities that can be observed when considering average values per rock. The rocks studied showed a negative correlation between porosity and other parameters and a direct correlation between ultimate strength and Young's Modulus. When examining individual rock samples, no significant correlations were observed between porosity and other parameters, however, those correlations where evident when comparing between different rock types, emphasizing the importance of analyzing rock properties from a broader perspective. The rocks studied could be classified into five units based on their petrophysical and mechanical properties. Ordered from higher porosity and lower mechanical parameters, these units are: unit 1 consists of hyaloclastite HH-1, unit 2 includes porous basalts HBA-18 and HPB-23, unit 3 consists of low-porosity basalts HB-4 and HBimp-9, unit 4 is made up of dike ND-6, and unit 5 comprises gabbro G. This implies that there is a notable variation in the properties of rocks between different units, but the properties of rocks within the same unit do not differ significantly. Volcanic rocks have a significant amount of unconnected porosity, which, if connected, can enhance the storage capacity of the reservoir and improve the reactive surface area of the rocks in contact with the reinjected fluid, leading to a more efficient mineral storage process. The results of a thermal shock conducted to simulate reservoir and injection temperatures (270ºC and 60ºC) have shown no significant changes in the petrophysical and mechanical properties of the rocks, indicating that this temperature difference does not increase the effective porosity nor compromise the integrity of the reservoir. This study validates the potential use of certain rocks collected from surface outcrops in Hellisheiði as reservoir analogs for future geological models, particularly those with lower porosity.SUCCEED ProjectApplied Earth Science

La poésie de Felwine Sarr : pour un tressage des lieux
No full textInternational audienceBetter known for his essays than for his poetry, Senegalese author Felwine Sarr has nonetheless developed a large body of literary work, borrowing from the short genre, whether in the poetic collection Ishindenshin or in his experiments in poetic prose in the works Dahij, La saveur des derniers mètres or 105 rue Carnot. This article intends to approach these texts from the perspective of places, showing how they encapsulate narratives, imaginaries, and arts of living. Weaving together the concrete places of his childhood in Senegal, those he has travelled throughout his life, in France, Rwanda, Japan, and those that run through his multiple readings, Sarr draws a poetic cartography in accordance with a relational ethic open to the world
The Architecture of Disclosure: A Critique of Symbolic Phenomenism
No full textThis paper provides a critical analysis of Robert Gervais’s 2025 treatise, Symbolic Phenomenism: A Treatise on Function and Form. The core of Gervais’s work is a "daring reclamation of the objective world," arguing that symbols are not mere social constructs but are the "true names of things" that reveal real structures within the fabric of being. The critique explores several key dimensions of the framework: Epistemological Validation: While critics argue the theory is unfalsifiable or circular, the author likens the apprehension of symbolic truths to mathematical discipline, where perception requires rigorous intellectual and spiritual formation. Form and Function: The paper examines Gervais's claim that functional utility must align with form. This is illustrated through the ontological significance of beauty in Victorian infrastructure and the symbolic weight of biological morphology in gender. Political and Ontological Implications: The treatise challenges contemporary egalitarian and liberal presuppositions, asserting that hierarchy and sexual dimorphism are genuine ontological structures essential for human flourishing rather than arbitrary instruments of power. Philosophical Limitations: The author identifies a significant underdeveloped area in Gervais’s treatment of mathematics, specifically regarding abstract algebra and non-Euclidean geometries, which possess an objectivity not fully accounted for in his current framework. Methodology of Restoration: To overcome modern "symbolic blindness," the paper outlines a pragmatic path of symbolic restoration. This involves cultivating the "remaining embers" of awareness found in the experience of beauty and the sublime, and engaging with "native speakers" of symbolic literacy

L’effondrement du socialisme guinéen documenté sur le vif: utopies, satires et silences d’une littérature mineure
No full textInternational audienceThis article analyzes the representation of the collapse of the socia- list regime in Guinea. It focuses particularly on texts written locally at the beginning of the 1980s, which remain unpublished or with a very low circulation. The author chooses to focus on the very local level with local publications in order to document the writing strategies of Guineans, faced with the dereliction of the socialist government. Abdoulaye Fanyé Touré, Fatima Barry, and Commandant Kaba 41, amongst others, chose different ways of describing their country, and this is representative of the comple- xity of the relationship between intellectuals and power. That kind of literary material and archives questions the role of fiction and its relation with politics: on the one hand, fictional works are useful in propaganda and a key element in the making of the socialist utopia (and still vivid in Guinean music today), but on the other hand, fiction can be a very efficient means of satire. This role of denun- ciation, of the Camp Boiro for instance, will be addressed in the second part of this article.Ce texte analyse, au ras du sol, la représentation de l’effondrement du régime socialiste en Guinée à l’aide de textes écrits sur place au début des années 1980, soit restés inédits soit édités à faible tirage. Ce choix de l’ancrage local et des publications locales permet de documenter sur le vif les stratégies d’écriture des Guinéens, face à un régime en pleine déréliction. Abdoulaye Fanyé Touré, Fatima Barry, Commandant Kaba 41, entre autres, ont choisi pour le décrire des stratégies d’écritures variées, manifestant ainsi la complexité des rapports entretenus entre les intellectuels et le pouvoir. Ces versants de la production littéraire et culturelle interrogent le rôle des fictions et de leur rapport au fait politique: d’une part, les fictions servent bien sûr la construction de l’utopie socialiste, en étant un vecteur de propagande particulièrement fort et toujours populaire aujourd’hui, d’autre part, elles ont été un moyen d’effec- tuer une satire de la dictature, parfois extrêmement féroce, en dénonçant régulièrement les crimes commis notamment dans le Camp Boiro. Cette double articulation constituera nos deux axes de réflexion sur la littérature en contexte d’oppression
Écrivains « noirs » et prix littéraires. Enquête et contre-attaque selon Mohamed Mbougar Sarr
No full textCet article analyse La plus secrète mémoire des hommes , dernier roman de l’écrivain sénégalais Mohamed Mbougar Sarr, récipiendaire du prix Goncourt en 2021. Sous la forme d’un roman-monde, ce texte traverse le long xx e siècle en explorant les relations entretenues entre littérature et universel. Le personnage d’Elimane, au centre du récit, met en lumière la réception racialisée de la littérature francophone et la manière dont les écrivains sont lus par la critique. Il fait office de double fictionnel pour représenter non seulement la trajectoire de Yambo Ouologuem, mais aussi celle toute une série d’autres écrivains ayant été la cible de cabales médiatiques, à l’instar de Camara Laye, de Bakary Diallo ou encore de René Maran. L’article montre qu’en représentant cette réception racialisée, Mbougar Sarr utilise la fiction elle-même pour jouer avec ces assignations critiques. Le jeu entre histoire et littérature, mis en scène dans le roman, contribue à élaborer les pistes d’un nouvel universel littéraire, reprenant et glosant les propositions de Souleymane Bachir Diagne à propos de l’universel latéral. Pastiche, ironie, décalages, jeux de doubles et de miroirs, entremêlement d’intertextualité sont les armes de l’écrivain pour mettre en scène la puissance de la fiction face aux lectures racialisantes.This article proposes an analysis of La plus secrète mémoire des hommes , the most recent novel by Senegalese author Mohamed Mbougar Sarr, winner of the Prix Goncourt in 2021. In the form of a roman-monde or world-novel, this text traverses the long twentieth century, exploring the relationships between literature and the universal. The character of Elimane, at the center of the narrative, brings into focus the racialized reception of Francophone literature and critical responses to its authors. Elimane’s trajectory serves as a fictional double not only for that of Yambo Ouologuem, but also for a whole series of other writers targeted by media cabals, such as Camara Laye, Bakary Diallo, and René Maran. The article shows that in representing this racialized reception, Mbougar Sarr uses fiction itself to play with these critical labels. The interplay between history and literature staged in the novel contributes to the elaboration of a new literary universal, taking up and glossing Souleymane Bachir Diagne’s notion of the “lateral universal.” Pastiche, irony, inconsistencies, games with doubles and mirrors, and the tangle of intertextuality are all mobilized by Mbougar Sarr to emphasize the power of fiction to resist racialized readings
