Rencontre avec Céline Burnand, artiste, et Nadia Radwan, historienne de l’art - Photoforum Pasquart
No full textA l’occasion de l’exposition Retour à Helwan – La Maison des vivants, le Photoforum Pasquart organise une rencontre entre Céline Burnand, artiste suisse basée au Caire et Nadia Radwan, professeure assistante en histoire mondiale de l’art à l’Université de Berne, spécialisée dans l’art moderne et contemporain du Moyen-Orient. La visite de l’exposition en présence de l’artiste sera suivie d’une discussion centrée sur les thèmes de la nostalgie, de l’appartenance et de la mémoire qui naviguent entre recherche scientifique et émotion. Dans quelle mesure la nostalgie et l’appartenance sont-elles liées à la subjectivité des artistes ou des chercheurs·euse? Quels publics sont touchés par ces notions? L'espace d'exposition ou les expériences vécues par le public modifie-t-ils leur sens? L’artiste et l’historienne de l’art offrent un regard croisé sur ces notions qui concerne leur recherches et pratiques respectives et qui sont aujourd’hui au cœur des discours sur l’art contemporain

Les Modernes d'Egypte: Une Renaissance transnationale des Beaux-Arts et des Arts Appliqués
No full textDans cet ouvrage, Nadia Radwan explore un moment clef du développement de l’art moderne égyptien lorsque sont définis les fondements d’une nouvelle pratique artistique au début du 20ème siècle. Basé sur un important travail de terrain en Egypte et sur des documents d’archives jusqu’ici inexplorés, cette étude se centre sur une génération de peintres et de sculpteurs appelés les pionniers (al-ruwwad). Formés dans des institutions, telles que l’Ecole des Beaux-Arts du Caire, leur production s’inscrit dans un mouvement de renaissance artistique et reflète les multiples interactions transculturelles entre l’Egypte et l’Europe. Cette publication offre ainsi un regard nouveau sur ces artistes qui ont posé les jalons du modernisme égyptien et met en lumière une production jusqu’ici peu étudiée. Tandis que l’on aborde aujourd’hui l’histoire de l’art dans une perspective globale à la lumière de circulations, d’échanges et de réseaux, cette étude offre un point d’ancrage qui permet de mieux appréhender les dynamiques et les enjeux actuels de l’art contemporain au Moyen-Orient.
In this book, Nadia Radwan explores a key moment of the development of modern Egyptian art, when the foundations of a new artistic practice are defined in the early 20th century. Based on field work and unexplored archival material, this work focuses on a generation of painters and sculptors commonly referred to as the pioneers (al-ruwwad). Trained in institutions, such as the School of Fine Arts in Cairo, their production is inscribed in a project of artistic renaissance and reflects multiple transcultural interactions between Egypt and Europe. This publication thus re-evaluates these artists that opened the path to Egyptian modernism and sheds light their yet understudied production. While art history is now approached in the perspective of circulations, exchange and networks, this book offers a background to a better comprehend the dynamics and stakes of contemporary art in the Middle East

GPR scan assessment at Mekaad Radwan Ottoman – Cairo, Egypt
No full textAbstractMekaad Radwan monument is situated in the neighborhood of Bab Zuweila in the historical Cairo, Egypt. It was constructed at the middle XVII century (1635 AD). The building has a rectangle shape plan (13×6m) with the longitudinal sides approximately WNW-ESE. It comprises three storages namely; the ground floor; the opened floor (RADWAN Bench) and the living floor with a total elevation of 15m above the street level. The building suffers from severe deterioration phenomena with patterns of damage which have occurred over time. These deterioration and damages could be attributed to foundation problems, subsoil water and also to the earthquake that affected the entire Greater Cairo area in October 1992. Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) scan was accomplished against the walls of the opened floor (RADWAN Bench) to evaluate the hazard impact on the walls textures and integrity. The results showed an anomalous feature through the southern wall of RADWAN Bench. A mathematical model has been simulated to confirm the obtained anomaly and the model response exhibited a good matching with the outlined anomaly
Poetry ars divina: Musaeus’ Prophetic Oration in the Epic Poem Radivilias by Jan Radwan
No full textHeroic epic poem entitled Radivilias sive de vita et moribus praeclarissime gestis immortalis memoriae illustrissimi principis Nicolai Radivili … libri quattuor, by Jan Radwan, was published in Vilnius in 1592.
The historical narration about the chief events connected with the Livonian War (1558-1582) when Poland and the Great Duchy of Lithuania were struggling against Ivan, the Terrible serves as a setting for a panegyric portrait of the main hero of the poem, Mikołaj Radziwiłł, the Red and his heroic deeds.
The author of Radivilias takes Radziwiłł to Helicon, place sacred to a succession of poetic memories, where he meets Musaeus. This part of the poem resembles Cicero’s Dream of Scipio, but we can see an essential difference between these two texts (Cicero - dream, dead ancestors, rational justification, Radwan - mythological motif, legendary poet Musaeus and poetry as a source of wisdom). Radwan is very realistic. He does not dream about return of the Golden Age, but emphasises the fragility of earthly glory and concentrates his attention upon the only true life - the life after death.
This article aims at discussing Radwan’s conception of the function of the Musaeus’ prophecy in the whole context of the poem. The attention is being given also to a prohetic significance of poetry

Cognitive Means Smart: Knowledge Saves Power
No full textThe previous chapters mainly examined methods to save energy at the mobile handset, either by using short-range cooperation between mobile terminals, or by performing smart vertical handovers between heterogeneous radio access technologies. These techniques can be beneficial to mobile systems, but they have to be performed based on informed decisions; meaning that mobile devices need to be cognitive. Modern devices already collect significant amounts of information, but they have limited capability to exploit such context/information, and handover decisions are merely based on signal strength, or are network controlled and based on network load. In this chapter, we aim to go beyond the state-of-the-art by envisioning mobile terminals with the capability to make informed decisions based on a reservoir of context information made available through context providers; namely what is referred to as smart phones. We include a survey of the current state of the art for context extraction and management in context-aware systems; besides listing the current context extraction techniques and research efforts, we pinpoint the important properties of good context extraction techniques. Thereafter, we discuss how context information can be exploited in energy saving when performing network or node discovery mechanism, by instructing the mechanisms to scan for certain nodes/networks which are known to be in the vicinity. Finally, we discuss the range of context information that can be used to make informed decisions to save power
