Checklist of the Mammal Collection Preserved at the University of Palermo under the Framework of the National Biodiversity Future Center
2023
The latest reorganization of the Vertebrate collections preserved at the “Pietro Doderlein” Museum of Zoology of the University of Palermo (Italy) has made it possible to draw up a check-list of the Mammal taxa present in the stuffed (M), fluid-preserved (ML) and anatomical (AN) collections. The intervention was planned under the National Biodiversity Future Center (NBFC) agenda, focused on the enhancement of Italian natural history museums. The growing interest in museum collections strongly demands databases available to the academic and policy world. In this paper, we record 679 specimens belonging to 157 specific taxa arranged in 58 families and 16 orders. Most of the species (75.1%) co…
50 ans de psychologie de la musique
2011
International audience; Il y a cinquante ans paraissait La perception de la musique, ouvrage majeur par lequel Robert Francès instituait une forme novatrice d’approche du fait musical. Son style, sa cohérence scientifique, joints à une assise culturelle et à des intuitions exceptionnelles, lui confèrent une place d’autorité inégalée. Cette oeuvre vaut toujours à Robert Francès un important capital de sympathie et de respect souvent résumé par le titre de « père de la psychologie de la musique française ». L’héritage de La perception de la musiquese doit d’être pensé, débattu et analysé, surtout lorsque cinquante années de recul nous le permettent. C’est là tout le projet de ce recueil. Il r…

Les collections d’antiquités du Musée des Beaux-Arts et d’Archéologie de Besançon
2022
Dans cet article, nous proposons de partir à la découverte des collections d’antiquités du musée des Beaux-Arts et d’Archéologie de Besançon, l’un des plus anciens musées de France, issu du legs de l’abbé Boisot, daté de 1694, qui comprenait, outre la bibliothèque du cardinal de Granvelle, une collection de médailles et une vingtaine d’objets d’art, et a été récemment rénové . Nous avons choisi de nous concentrer sur quelques-uns des personnages qui, par leurs actions ou leurs donations, ont enrichi le musée entre les années 1870 et la première guerre mondiale. Le travail de recherche est en cours, mais nous souhaitons apporter ici un éclairage sur la collection d’antiquités d’un important …

L'Évasion du cinéma Liberté (1990) de Wojciech Marczewski, un métafilm sur la fin du communisme polonais
2021
sous la direction de Christophe Gelly, Caroline Lardy et David Roche; International audience; Cet article se propose d’examiner l’articulation entre le genre du métafilm auquel appartiendrait l’Évasion du cinéma Liberté de Wojciech Marczewski et sa contribution à la lumière de la dimension politique de cette œuvre. Cette démarche nous permettra non seulement de saisir son positionnement envers la condition du cinéma polonais qui doit s’adapter au passage politique du régime communiste vers la démocratie, mais aussi d’identifier d’autres enjeux politiques du film et de son rapport au réel. Dans un premier temps, nous déterminerons le cadre théorique dans lequel s’inscrit la présente étude. E…
Women Scientists Who Made Nuclear Astrophysics
2019
Female role models reduce the impact on women of stereotype threat, i.e. of being at risk of conforming to a negative stereotype about one’s social, gender, or racial group (Fine in Delusion of Gender. W.W. Norton & Co. NY, p. 36, 2010 [1]; Steele and Aronson in J Pers Soc Psychol 69:797–811, 1995 [2]). This can lead women scientists to underperform or to leave their scientific career because of negative stereotypes such as, not being as talented or as interested in science as men. Sadly, history rarely provides role models for women scientists; instead, it often renders these women invisible (CafeBabel Homepage [3]). In response to this situation, we present a selection of twelve outst…
A Finnish socialist female parliamentarian stopped on the Dutch border

A Finnish socialist female parliamentarian stopped on the Dutch border: the (de) politicization of Finnish women’s suffrage in Dutch battles on votes for women This research article in transnational history analyses an incident during which Hilja Pärssinen, a Finnish socialist woman MP, was stopped on the Dutch border in September 1913 on her way to visit a suffragette college in London. This two-hour event at the border and public controversy that followed were clashes between competing ideological and gendered discourses on women’s political agency. The incident was a nexus of intersecting discourses on a range of issues: Dutch and international debates on women’s suffrage, discourse on ‘…
Women fighters as agents of change: A Brazilian jiu jitsu case study from Finland
2015
Brazilian jiu jitsu (BJJ), a grappling system of combat, evolved from the teachings of a Japanese judoka who moved to Brazil in the 1920s. Focusing on ground fighting, BJJ is rapidly evolving into a combat sport with competitions taking place worldwide (Hogeveen and Hardes, 2014; Spencer, 2014). Unique to the BJJ culture is the way that the ‘secrets’ of the sport are transferred from expert to novice and from one club to the other. Clubs are organised into international ‘teams’, shaping global communities of practitioners that share techniques and philosophies. Unlike many other martial arts that insist on the traditional way of passing knowledge from one teacher to many students behind the…
"I'm Not Like Indian Women": Reflections of Young European Women in Varanasi, India
2006
The aim of this article is to look at the ways in which young European women staying in the city of Varanasi for long periods of time talk about India and how they negotiate their place and role as women there. There is a common travellers’ discourse that sees India as a difficult and dangerous place to a vulnerable traveler, and the encounters of colonial women with “otherness” have been widely analysed. This article brings this discussion to the post colonial era and endeavors to initiate a discussion about how to understand the encounters between visiting Western women and the locals in India today. The article is based on nine interviews which Korpela conducted in Varanasi, and on her p…
