« Marée montante » ou tsunami ? L’avenir du livre à l’heure du numérique

2015

International audience; Postface au volume Le livre numérique au présent, dirigé par Fabrice Pirolli, ce court texte analyse les effets de l'émergence du livre numérique sur les acteurs de la chaîne du livre, et pointe les actions menées par les pouvoirs publics en France afin d'intégrer cette question à la politique culturelle.

Even free radicals should follow some rules: a guide to free radical research terminology and methodology.

2014

Free radicals and oxidants are now implicated in physiological responses and in several diseases. Given the wide range of expertise of free radical researchers, application of the greater understanding of chemistry has not been uniformly applied to biological studies. We suggest that some widely used methodologies and terminologies hamper progress and need to be addressed. We make the case for abandonment and judicious use of several methods and terms and suggest practical and viable alternatives. These changes are suggested in four areas: use of fluorescent dyes to identify and quantify reactive species, methods for measurement of lipid peroxidation in complex biological systems, claims of…

Playing with Format (1)

2021

International audience; Le volume 45 de la revue Interfaces propose une réflexion sur la double nature du format, comme contrainte et condition de la créativité. Il aborde le rôle du format dans la création, développant une réflexion sur ses usages en art, en poésie, dans le théâtre, dans le domaine du livre, des périodiques et de productions telles que les carnets d’artistes. Il met en exergue la dimension expérimentale des variations de format dans les processus de création artistique et les stratégies éditoriales ou de conservation, ainsi que les pratiques hybrides (texte / image) et les transferts intermédiaux.

Le récit d’esclave africain-américain : réflexions sur une appellation générique

2015

What do we talk about when we talk about 'slave narratives?' African American slave narratives have been a staple of American literary studies over the past decades. The narratives of Frederick Douglass, Harriet Jacobs and other ex-slaves have been recovered, anthologized and discussed by eminent critics such as Marion Wilson Starling, Henry Louis Gates Jr., Frances Smith Foster and William L. Andrews. For all its ubiquity, however, the generic label 'slave narrative' has been used in many different ways by specialists of African American literature. In this essay I argue that the systematic and sometimes uncritical use of the label has led to generalizations that limit our understanding of…

Dehn surgeries and smooth structures on 3-dimensional transitive Anosov flows.

2020

The present thesis is about Dehn surgeries and smooth structures associated with transitive Anosov flows in dimension three. Anosov flows constitute a very important class of dynamical systems, because of its persistent chaotic behaviour, as well as for its rich interaction with the topology of the ambient space. Even if a lot is known about the dynamical and ergodic properties of these systems, there is not a clear understanding about how to classify its different orbital equivalence classes. Until now, the biggest progress has been done in dimension three, where there is a family of techniques intended for the construction of Anosov flows called surgeries.During the realization of this th…

Couleur et transparence à l’ère des procédés photomécaniques

2015

This paper aims to show that the reception of British coloured illustrated books in the early twentieth-century reflects the artistic and aesthetic repositioning induced by the development of photomechanical process. Photomechanical reproduction freed the graphic line as well as colour. Reviews published at the turn of the century—as exemplified by The Studio—reveal a tension between opacity and transparency, materiality and lightness, chromophilia and chromophobia. These oppositions apply to the art of the book—as in the books illustrated by Arthur Rackham and Edmund Dulac—as well as to interior decoration. They are subsumed in the image of the peacock’s ocellus, the eyespot that symbolise…

Il destino della Biblioteca pubblica e il ruolo dell’Architettura. Strategie di progettazione per gli edifici del XXI secolo

Oggi ci chiediamo spesso quale sarà la sorte del libro e delle biblioteche rispetto allo sviluppo delle tecnologie digitali e ai cambiamenti della funzione urbana e sociale delle biblioteche. Provare ad immaginare un plausibile scenario futuro é molto difficile, soprattutto se si pensa che il libro e le biblioteche sono legate a diverse e diversificate istanze della società contemporanea che non hanno ancora trovato una propria identità. D’altra parte, la società contemporanea si trova in una fase di transizione tecnologica che rischia, senza alcun dubbio, di produrre dei cambiamenti significativi, non solo in seno alle biblioteche, ma soprattutto nei nostri stessi modi di vivere. Per quest…
