Paul Bourget, écrivain engagé
No full textPaul Bourget, A committed writer, Yehoshua Mathias.
In the France of the early twentieth century, Paul Bourget's figure is that of a successful novelist who became gradually a «committed author». A monarchist, deeply conservative, passionate defender of religion and the family as the vital bases of the social order, he thus became the bard of the bourgeois ethic faced with the destabilization of modernity.Mathias Yehoshua. Paul Bourget, écrivain engagé. In: Vingtième Siècle, revue d'histoire, n°45, janvier-mars 1995. pp. 14-29

Diffuse interstellar bands at 862 nm
No full textLes bandes interstellaires diffuses (DIB) sont des raies d'absorption interstellaire qui existent largement dans la longueur d'onde optique et proche infrarouge, dont l'origine, encore débattue, pourrait être des molécules gazeuses. Les DIBs jouent un rôle important dans le cycle de vie du milieu interstellaire et peuvent également être utilisés pour tracer l'environnement interstellaire et la structure galactique. Le but de cette thèse est de mesurer et d'étudier le DIB λ8620 dans un nombre substantiel de spectres provenant de différents relevés spectroscopiques, y compris Gaia−RVS, Giraffe Inner Bulge Survey (GIBS), Gaia−ESO (GES) survey, et Pristine Inner Galaxy Survey (PIGS). Les résultats de Gaia seront publiés en 2022, et d'autres résultats sont analysés dans cette thèse. Pour atteindre cet objectif, nous avons développé un ensemble de procédures capables de détecter et de mesurer automatiquement le DIB λ8620 dans des spectres avec une large plage de températures. Nos procédures vérifient et éliminent les cas invalides, puis appliquent une normalisation locale spécifique. Le profil DIB est fitté avec une fonction gaussienne. Plus précisément, la caractérisation du DIB est extraite des spectres d'étoiles de type tardif en soustrayant les spectres synthétiques correspondants. Pour les étoiles chaudes, nous appliquons un modèle spécifique basé sur le processus gaussien qui ne nécessite aucune connaissance préalable des paramètres stellaires. De plus, nous considérons les erreurs induites par les spectres synthétiques et le bruit aléatoire. Différents indicateurs de qualité sont également générés pour évaluer la fiabilité des résultats de l’ajustement. Nous avons étudié la corrélation entre l'amplitude du DIB et l'extinction interstellaire à la fois en optique (E(B−V)) et en NIR (E(J−Ks)), ainsi que les corrélations mutuelles pour la première fois entre λ8620 et trois autres DIB, λ4430, λ8648, et λ15273. Les trois DIBs, λ8620, λ4430 et λ8648, ont présenté des corrélations linéaires avec l'extinction interstellaire dans différents ensembles de données et méthodes. Les résultats de λ8620 et λ4430 ont également été comparés à des travaux antérieurs. Nous avons confirmé le DIB λ8648 par sa corrélation avec λ8620 et E(B−V). La valeur λ8648 était plus faible que λ8620, tandis que λ4430 est plus fort que λ8620 dans un facteur de 7,4 pour EW. La corrélation entre λ8620, mesurée dans cette thèse, et λ15273 de Zasowski et al. (2015b) et Elyajouri & Lallement (2019) ont été grossièrement étudiée, donnant un faible coefficient de Pearson (rp) pour les cibles communes mais un bon rp lors de l'utilisation des médianes par champs. Nous avons également étudié la cinématique et déterminé les distances cinématiques des porteurs DIB en fonction de leur vitesse radiale en supposant un modèle de rotation galactique (Reid et al., 2019). Comme la plupart de nos cibles sont distribuées près du centre galactique , les distances cinématiques ne sont pas précises mais nous concluons que les distances du porteur DIB sont à quelques kpc du Soleil. La prochaine Gaia DR3 nous apportera clairement plus d'informations sur la cartographie 3D du DIB.Diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) are interstellar absorption features that widely exist in the optical and near-infrared wavelength range, for which the origin might be gaseous molecules but still debated. DIBs play an important role in the lifecycle of the interstellar medium and can also be used to trace the interstellar environment and the Galactic structure. The goal of this thesis is to measure and study the DIB λ8620 in a substantial number of spectra from different spectroscopic surveys, including Gaia−RVS, Giraffe Inner Bulge Survey (GIBS), Gaia−ESO (GES) survey and Pristine Inner Galaxy Survey (PIGS). The Gaia results will be published in 2022, and other results are analyzed in this thesis. To achieve the purpose, we developed a set of procedures that can automatically detect and measure DIB λ8620 in vast spectra with a wide temperature range. Our procedures check and eliminate invalid cases, and then apply a specific local normalization. The DIB profile is fitted with a Gaussian function. Specifically, the DIB feature is extracted from the spectra of late-type stars by subtracting the corresponding synthetic spectra. For early-type stars we apply a specific model based on the Gaussian process that needs no prior knowledge of the stellar parameters. In addition, we consider the errors contributed by the synthetic spectra and from the random noise. Different quality flags are also generated to evaluate the reliability of the fit results.We explored the correlation between the DIB strength and interstellar extinction at both optical (E(B−V)) and NIR (E(J−Ks)), as well as the mutual correlations for the first time between λ8620 and other three DIBs, λ4430, λ8648, and λ15273. All the three DIBs, λ8620, λ4430, and λ8648, presented linear correlations with the interstellar extinction in different data sets and methods. The results of λ8620 and λ4430 were also compared with previous works. For λ8648, we confirmed it as a DIB by its correlation with λ8620 and E(B−V). λ8648 was weaker than λ8620, while λ4430 is stronger than λ8620 in a factor of 7.4 for EW. The correlation between λ8620 measured in this thesis and λ15273 in Zasowski et al. (2015b) and Elyajouri & Lallement (2019) was roughly studied, resulting in a poor Pearson coefficient (rp) for common targets while a good rp when using field medians. We also investigated the kinematics and determined the kinematic distances of the DIB carriers based on their carrier radial velocity and assuming a Galactic rotation model (Reid et al., 2019). As most of our targets are distributed close to the Galactic center, kinematic distances are not accurate but we conclude that the distances of the DIB carrier are within a few kpc from the Sun. The forthcoming Gaia DR3 release will clearly bring us more insight in the 3D mapping of the DIB carrier
The reality of fiction: the ECO by Mathias Goeritz
No full textAbstract
This article covers the full biography of a building, the Experimental Museum El Eco, designed by Germanborn and Mexican émigré artist and architect Mathias Goeritz. It provides an approach intersecting the biography of the author, the history of the building, and prominent individuals of the two cultural traditions, German and Mexican, who participated in the creation of a very special and unique building: El Eco. On the one hand, the ethics of Expressionism, the interest in non-European art, the cult of primitivism and the aesthetic system of the pair of concepts abstraction-empathy, all stemming from German culture. On the other, the pantheistic religiosity of landscape, zoomorphism and anthropomorphism, the interest in masks, and the aesthetics of monumental scale, stemming from pre-Cortesian Mexican culture. Taking the stance of intertwining Mathias Goeritz parcours with those of individuals and issues from his German past and his Mexican future – highlighting the figures of Wilhelm Worringer, Paul Westheim, Luis Barragán, Edmundo O'Gorman, and Ida Rodríguez Prampolini – this article proposes a return trip from fiction to reality, following in the footsteps of the author and comparing them with the pathway of the very building El Eco
Oswald Mathias Ungers and Sol LeWitt: Variations
No full textOne of the fundamentals of Oswald Mathias Ungers work is the definition of a new unity between art and architecture. What this investigation is focused on is the identification of the intersection point between art and architecture, considering the project for the Entrance to the Kaiserthermen in Trier (20032007) as case study, revealing the system of theoretical, methodological and compositional correspondences. Plastic art is Ungers' main interlocutor: one of the author's most important references is Sol LeWitt (1928-2007), an artist he admired and collected. Setting the work of Oswald Mathias Unger and Sol LeWitt side by side, offers the opportunity to underline the shared interpretation that the two authors have of the world of forms postulated by Henri Focillon (1881-1943) in Life of Forms, according to which form, autonomous with respect to time and place, has its own universe, governed by its own laws, space and matter. According to these premises, we propose to read Trier's building through the instruments of art, following the hypothesis that in this project art embodies a creative and positive component in the definition of architecture, a cultural stimulus that guides the author in the design process

Mathias Niendorf. Das Grossfuertentum Litauen : Studien zur Nationsbildung in der Fruehen Neuzeit (1569-1795) : recenzija
No full textRecenzijoje yra analizuojamas Mathiaso Niendorfo darbas, kuriame svarbiausias dėmesys yra skiriamas politinės tautos temai. Tokia tema yra dar mažai tyrinėta, bet pastaruoju metu jai skiriamas vis didesnis dėmesys. Recenzijoje yra nurodoma, kad M. Niendorfo darbas LDK istoriografijai svarbus naujų probleminių temų įvedimu. Savo darbe M. Niendorfas pristato LDK istorijos raidą po Liublino unijos iki 1795 m. Po to pradeda detaliai analizuoti problemą. Pažymima, kad naujumu labai išsiskiria ketvirtas M. Niendorfo darbo skyrius. Jis skirtas aptarti, kokį vaidmenį turėjo religingumas to laikotarpio tautos formavimuisi. Šioje temoje autorius didelį dėmesį skiria šventųjų kultams, laikydamas juos politinės tautos integraciniu faktoriumi. Taip pat pabrėžia, kad kultai yra vienas svarbesnių veiksnių formuojantis politinei bendruomenei. Atkreipiamas dėmesys, kad M. Niendorfas sugeba tradicines istoriografijos temas išnaudoti savo analizuojamos temos naudai, nors kai kada tai galima laikyti tik hipotezėmis. Pastebima, kad kituose knygos skyriuose yra iškeliami tautų ir valdovų kilmės mitai, teisinė sąranga, o nuvertinama pagrindiniu tautiškumo požymiu laikyta kalba. Pastebima, jog autorius suformuluoja dar vieną naują tezę. Jis teigia, kad ne vien bajorų luomo atstovai yra politinės tautos sudėtinė dalis, tačiau nereiškia, jog šis teiginys yra pagrįstas. Pažymima, kad didelis knygos privalumas yra tas, kad autorius iš istoriografijos sugeba ,,išspausti“ maksimumą. Pažymima, kad darbas yra vertingas tuo, kad tyrimų tema yra nauja, įdomi, skatinanti tautiškumo tyrimus.

This subject has been little examined yet, but it has recently received an increasing attention. The review points out that the work by Mathias Niendorf is significant to historiography of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, since it introduces new problematic topics. In his work, Mathias Niendorf presents the development of the history of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania after the Union of Lublin until 1795. Afterwards, he begins a detailed analysis of the problem. It should be stressed that chapter 4 of the work by Mathias Niendorf is clearly distinguished by its novelty. It discusses the role of religiosity in the formation of the nation in that period. In this topic, the author gives close attention to cults of saints, considering them an integration factor for a political nation. He also highlights that cults represent one of the major factors in the formation of a political community. It should be noted that Mathias Niendorf manages to use traditional subjects of historiography to the benefit of the analysis of his topic, although sometimes this can be considered to be hypotheses only. It should be emphasised that other chapters of the book praise myths of the descent of nations and rulers, and the legal structure, but underestimate the language that was held to be the main feature of nationality. The author formulates one more new thesis. He states that representatives of not only the caste of noblemen were a constituent part of the political nation; however, it does not mean that this statement is valid. It is worthwhile stressing that the author’s ability to “squeeze” the maximum out of historiography is a big advantage of the book. It should be highlighted that the research topic, which is new, interesting and encourages studies on nationality, makes the work valuable
