Tradução de uma disputa : Christophe versus Pétion em La tragédie du roi Christophe, de Aimé Césaire
No full textEsta contribuição propõe a tradução comentada da primeira cena da peça de teatro La Tragédie du roi Christophe (A tragédia do rei Christophe), de Aimé Césaire. O texto foi publicado pelo autor martinicano em 1963 e encenado a partir de 1964. A história aborda o embate histórico entre os dois líderes revolucionários haitianos, Alexandre Pétion (1770-1818) e Henry Christophe (1767-1820), após o estabelecimento da independência do Haiti, em 1804. O ex-escravizado Henry Christophe I, autoproclamado rei do Haiti em 1811, protagoniza, na peça, os impasses políticos decorrentes do processo de descolonização para a constituição de um novo estado haitiano livre e democrático. Optamos por traduzir a cena que anuncia e ilustra, na abertura do primeiro Ato, o caráter trágico que permeia o desenrolar dos eventos.This contribution proposes the commented translation of the first scene of the play La Tragédie du roi Christophe (The tragedy of King Christophe), by Aimé Césaire. The text was published by the Martinican author in 1963 and staged from 1964 onwards. The story addresses the historical clash between the two Haitian revolutionary leaders, Alexandre Pétion (1770-1818) and Henry Christophe (1767-1820), after the establishment of Haitian independence in 1804. The ex-enslaved Henry Christophe I, self-proclaimed King of Haiti in 1811, stars, in the play, political impasses resulting from the decolonization process, for the constitution of a new free and democratic Haitian state. We chose to translate the scene that announces and illustrates, in the opening of the first Act, the tragic character that permeates the unfolding of events

Christophe Defeuilley, L’Entrepreneur et le Prince. La création du service public de l’eau
No full textBehind Christophe Defeuilley’s poetic title lies a comparative historical analysis of the establishment of public drinking water services in London, New York, and Paris, the three most populous cities at the dawn of the 20th century. The author combines the lens of economics and a long-term perspective (from the 16th to the beginning of the 20th century) focused largely on private and public actors, to trace how water distribution systems evolved and crystalized into the form they still have ..
Novel Dialogue 5.3 It’s on The Illabus: A Discussion with Jean-Christophe Cloutier and John Jennings (SW)
No full textJohn Jennings—Hugo Award winner, New York Times bestselling author, curator, scholar, and Artist—is keenly aware that in adapting novels for the graphic format, his decisions turn what has only been imagined into facts drawn on the page. In this conversation with critic, translator, and teacher of a creative course on the art of making comics, Jean-Christophe Cloutier, Jennings explores how he makes those decisions that range from the design of endpapers to selecting a character’s skin tone with the ultimate aim of championing Black culture and Black comics. Given that Jennings has just entered the Marvel Universe with the debut of Silver Surfer: Ghost Light, the timing is right to reflect on the pressures and pleasures of adapting beloved stories for a contemporary audience. Jennings is both teacher and student of comics’ powerful lessons, and lucky for listeners, his course comes with an illustrated syllabus, aka illabus. In the podcast’s first ever episode about graphic novels, Jennings and Cloutier talk comic book history, the power of collaboration, and the importance of long showers
Aficionados et opposants à la tauromachie. Les formes plurielles de la civilisation
No full textAficionados and Opponents to the Tauromachy. The Plural Forms of Civilization
Christophe Traïni
The opposition to the Spanish tauromachy constitutes an emblematic case of involvement aiming to build up the animal cause. Starting from Norbert Elias theory concerning the civilisation processes, the author attempts to point out the emotional economies which underlie both aficionados' passion and the denunciations of the opponents to the corrida. The author refers here to the comparative vocation of Elias theory to make intelligible the incomprehension which may resuit from the different ways of investing the civilisation values. This perspective aliows explicating why and how the bull takes on different virtues and statutes.Aficionados et opposants à la tauromachie. Les formes plurielles de la civilisation
Christophe Traïni
L'opposition à la tauromachie espagnole constitue incontestablement un cas emblématique des engagements visant à édifier la cause animale. A partir de la théorie de Norbert Elias relative aux processus de civilisation, l'auteur s'efforce de mettre en exergue les économies émotionnelles qui sous-tendent aussi bien la passion des aficionados que les dénonciations virulentes des opposants à la corrida. La vocation comparative que le sociologue allemand a toujours attribuée à sa théorie est rappelée ici avec force afin de rendre intelligible les incompréhensions qui peuvent résulter de différentes modalités d'investissement des valeurs de la civilisation. Cette perspective permet, plus particulièrement, d'expliciter pourquoi et comment le taureau se voit attribué des vertus et un statut des plus divergents.Traïni Christophe.

Taxation of financial assets in developing countries
No full textIn developing countries, most financial assets in formal markets are deposits at financial institutions. This potentially important tax base could be taxed at a low administrative cost. When revenues of financial taxes are significant, implicit taxes dwarf explicit taxes. The author focuses on the implicit taxation of financial assets through seigniorage, reserve requirements, lending targets, and interest ceilings combined with inflation. The last instrument has often been overlooked, but it has generated more than a third of implicit revenues in some cases by lowering the cost of government borrowing. Tax revenues are difficult to measure because of regulations that prevent the use of market prices for computation and distort the meaning of some definitions. For some countries, the standard method of seigniorage grossly underestimates the revenue from financial taxation. The author discusses various sources of distortion but ignores potential impacts on the level of saving and the growth rate. Although taxes on financial assets have a low administrative cost, the excess burden that stems from the misallocation of resources is probably a much higher fraction of revenues than that of other taxes.Economic Theory&Research,Environmental Economics&Policies,Banks&Banking Reform,Public Sector Economics&Finance,Municipal Financial Management
Giving shape to time: An investigation into mixed-media installation
No full textThis research investigates ways of shaping time and identifying the characteristics of time that evolve in my art practice with reference to a synthesis of two and three-dimensional material, sound, and video. The nature of this study is a three-way material exchange between theoretical discourses, my practice, and audience response. The theoretical discourse includes a survey of the notions of time from different fields of knowledge from science, literature, anthropology, and memory studies. Additionally, an analysis of two contemporary installations, Normal & Nature by a Thai artist, Kamin Lertchaiprasert, and Going Forth by Day by an American artist, Bill Viola, is included.
Project 1, A solo show by Toeingam Srisubut, featured three art pieces: time-scape, container site, and ... and a real TV. The first project explored the potential media that can give shape to time and make the characteristics of time explicit. My evaluation of this project focuses on analysing the characteristics of time that grow out of my three works, and examining the audience's multiple readings of time that reveal various indicators, e.g. spaces, narratives, audience's and my memories, and certain Thai social and economic elements.
In Project 2, a sound and performance installation Rush Hour, narrative, space, and audience participation are considered specifically. I am testing out how effective the three indicators can give shape to time, and identifying the different characteristics of time of the installation placed in a specific environment of Koh Samui.
Project 3, a mix-media installation, When I grow rich, say the bells of Shoreditch, re-tested the three indicators. This project demonstrates my personal, cultural engagements and interpretations of these indicators. The research identifies further areas for potential studies within various aspects of time as well as practical ways of giving shape to it
Investigation of PGC-1α function in zebrafish
No full textAnimal life must carefully balance energetic resources with physiological demands to promote growth and ensure survival. Energy serves as a valuable resource to cope with ever-changing environmental demands and requires complex regulatory networks to ensure efficient energy utilization. In mammals, PGC-1α (Peroxisome Proliferator Activated Receptor Co-Activator 1 α) is a master regulator of metabolism coordinating many essential metabolic processes. However, the importance of PGC-1α is currently unknown amongst lower vertebrates, despite controversy suggesting divergent roles for PGC-1α in teleost species. Here, I describe the creation of a mutant zebrafish line dedicated to uncovering the role of PGC-1α in zebrafish. In chapter 2, I disrupted an evolutionary conserved region upstream of the PGC-1α promoter, simultaneously increasing PGC-1α expression in skeletal muscle 4-fold and decreasing PGC-1α expression in cardiac muscle 4-fold. This mutation increased O2 consumption in white muscle fibres and doubled the resting metabolism in juvenile zebrafish demonstrating that PGC-1α retains its role as a metabolic regulator in fish. In chapter 3, I hypothesized that PGC-1α mutant zebrafish experience impaired growth due to having a decreased metabolic efficiency. Mutant zebrafish larvae displayed decreased heart rate alongside increased yolk fatty acid (FA) content, indicating decreased FA metabolism during early development. Surprisingly, mutant adult zebrafish had increased FA metabolism, resisted growth when presented with a high-fat diet and decreased Dihomo-Gamma-Linoleic-Acid in skeletal muscle, a FA that prevents mitochondrial leakage. In summary, this mutation greatly impedes the metabolic function of zebrafish and provides a promising model for the continued study of PGC-1α in lower vertebrate muscles.Includes bibliographical references (pages 86-106).Chapter 2, entitled "An evolutionary conserved regulatory sequence dictates PGC-1α exoression in Zebrafish striated muscles" is co-authored with Kurchaba by Michael Charette (study design and methodology) and Christophe LeMoine (study design, data curation, methodology, analysis, and writing). Chapter 3, entitled "Altered PGC-1α expression in Zebrafish limits growth irrespective of nutrient consumption" is co-authored with Kurchaba by Ellie Duncan (methodology and data analysis) and Christophe LeMoine (study design, data curation, methodology, analysis, and writing)"In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science, Evironmental and Life Sciences.
