Interview with Jean Francois Revel, author
No full textJean Francois Revel, the author of Without Marx or Jesus, has been quoted as saying, "The United States is now a microcosm for all of the problems man faces." In this interview with Meredith Watts, he discusses a new kind of revolution which could produce successful change without violent upheavalGrayscaleSoun
A propos de l’usage de l’imperfectif dans la narration de sequences d’evenements en tcheque
No full textIn this paper the Author deals with the usage of verbal aspect in narrated sequences
of events in Czech. Particular attention is given to the so-called “contextually conditioned
imperfective past” (Dickey 2000). A corpus based analysis points out that two kinds of
contexts are possible: (i) the events can partially overlap, (ii) they are in strict sequenciality.
A comparison is made with the so-called temporal zeugma in French. The conclusion
provides a brief contrastive analysis of the way the Czech scheme is translated to several
Romance, Germanic and Slavic languages
K vidové opozici u ceských verb dicendi
No full textIn this paper the author examines aspectual usage of the Czech verba dicendi říkat/říci when they introduce direct speech. According to the common opinion (Kopečný, 1962 - see also Forsyth, 1970 about Russian) there is a high degree o indifference in this type of situation. Data from the Czech National Corpus show on the contrary that aspectual choice is always somehow motivated in a broader context. It seems therefore that indifference is a mere illusion created by the observation of artificial or contextless examples
D'un mythe l'autre ou l'intertexte à l'oeuvre dans Le Jour des corneilles de Jean-François Beauchemin
No full textPatricide in Jean-Francois Beauchemin’s “Le jour des corneilles” is interpreted as a pretext to invoke classical myths and texts (Camus’s “The Stranger”, Homer’s “Oddyssey”). The author examines the parallels between the sufferings of an abused son, presented as a new Orpheus, and the emblematic figures of Sisyphus and Prometeus.

The Roots of Plant Frost Hardiness and Tolerance
No full textFrost stress severely affects agriculture and agroforestry worldwide. Although many studies about frost hardening and resistance have been published, most of them focused on the aboveground organs and only a minority specifically targets the roots. However, roots and aboveground tissues have different physiologies and stress response mechanisms. Climate models predict an increase in the magnitude and frequency of late-frost events, which, together with an observed loss of soil insulation, will greatly decrease plant primary production due to damage at the root level. Molecular and metabolic responses inducing root cold hardiness are complex. They involve a variety of processes related to modifications in cell wall composition, maintenance of the cellular homeostasis and the synthesis of primary and secondary metabolites. After a summary of the current climatic models, this review details the specificity of freezing stress at the root level and explores the strategies roots developed to cope with freezing stress. We then describe the level to which roots can be frost hardy, depending on their age, size category and species. After that, we compare the environmental signals inducing cold acclimation and frost hardening in the roots and aboveground organs. Subsequently, we discuss how roots sense cold at a cellular level and briefly describe the following signal transduction pathway, which leads to molecular and metabolic responses associated with frost hardening. Finally, the current options available to increase root frost tolerance are explored and promising lines of future research are discussed.Luxembourg National Research Fund (FNR) [project X-press AFR PhD/17/SR 11634190

An Interview with Jean-François Vernay
No full textThe second edition of Jean-François Vernay’s book A Brief Take on the Australian Novel (Adelaide: Wakefield Press) was released in 2016. This incisive history of Australian fiction is remarkable for a relatively young scholar, both for its ambitious scope and its innovative approach, employing structural techniques derived from the world and language of cinema. It is designed to appeal to the general reader seeking to test their views against Vernay’s, to those new to the area of Australian fiction who might use it as a guide to their reading, and to those engaged in academic study. As has often been noted, Jean-François Vernay’s French-Australian parentage and background give him an unusual and distinctive perspective on Australian writing. Jean-François is also the author of Water from the Moon: Illusion and Reality in the Works of Christopher Koch (New York: Cambria Press, 2007), as well as numerous other critical studies. His book The Seduction of Fiction: A Plea for Putting Emotions Back into Literary Interpretation will be released in August 2016 as part of Palgrave Macmillan’s series Studies in Affect Theory and Literary Criticism. He is also a creative writer in his own right, notably of Un doux petit rêveur (2012)
