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…
Phytochemical investigation and antitumor activity of coumarins from Sicilian accession of Ferulago nodosa (L.) Boiss. roots
2023
Ferulago nodosa (L.) Boiss. (Apiaceae) is a species occurring in the Balkan-Tyrrhenian area being present in Crete, Greece, Albania, and probably in Macedonia. From the roots of this accession of species, not previously investigated, four coumarins, grandivittin, aegelinol benzoate, felamidin and aegelinol, and two terpenoids, (2E)-3-methyl-4-[(3-methyl-1-oxo-2-buten-1yl)oxy]-2-butenoic acid and pressafonin-A, were isolated and spectroscopically characterized. The last one was never detected in Ferulago species. The evaluation of the anti-tumor effects of F. nodosa coumarins on colon cancer HCT116 cells showed only a modest effect on reduction of tumor cell viability. For aegelinol, the red…
Hacer películas chilenas desde Francia: Marcela Said y Jairo Boisier
2019
Submitting projects to international funds and the subsequent festival tour are obligatory steps for most films that, outside purely commercial circuits, seek distribution and cultural legitimacy beyond their national borders. In this globalized context, European support funds are particularly important. Following the path opened by pioneering scholars (De Valck, Elsaesser, Falicov, Shaw), this article aims to study the transnational networks in which Latin American cinema is currently involved. We address this issue by focussing on the specific case of two Chilean directors based in France: Marcela Said and Jairo Boisier. By doing so, we intend to show how European and particularly French …
Dendrochronologie : potentialités et nouveaux enjeux pour l’archéologie préventive
2019
International audience; La dendrochronologie, méthode de datation qui étudie la variation des largeurs des cernes de croissance des arbres, est sollicitée, en archéologie, pour l’obtention d’une date absolue. Elle nécessite un dialogue incontournable entre les différents acteurs de la discipline pour fiabiliser les acquisitions, voire tout simplement obtenir une date. L’analyse des bois archéologiques ne se limite toutefois pas à la seule datation et constitue le point de départ de nouvelles approches qui permettent de combler des espaces et des champs de recherche encore lacunaire, pour le sud de la France notamment. Dans le contexte des changements climatiques actuels, la dendrochronologi…
Antinociceptive Effects of Turkish Endemic Eryngium kotschyi Boiss. Roots by Bioactivity Guided Fractionation
2010
Eryngium species (Apiaceae) are well known plants in ethnobotanical culture throughout world and also in Turkey. They are used as antitussive, diuretic as well as for analgesic and antiinflammatory purposes in traditional medicine. This study aimed to evaluate the antinociceptive activity of endemic Eryngium kotschyi Boiss. root extracts by bioguided fractionation. The antinociceptive activity of the extracts/fractions/compound was studied in mice using acetic acid induced writhing test and and hot plate test. The methanolic extract was sequentially partitioned with hexane, dichloromethane and water saturated n-butanol. Among the fractions, the n-BuOH fraction showed the most significant re…
Les plafonds voûtés des traités historiques aux applications en Sicile
2016
I controsoffitti lignei voltati - a partire dal XVII secolo e con notevole diffusione ed impiego nel XVIII secolo in tutta l’Europa - hanno qualificato sia edifici pubblici e privati di pregio che anche gran parte dell’edilizia di base, per le loro caratteristiche di indipendenza strutturale, leggerezza e di facile assemblaggio delle parti. Lo studio e la ricerca vogliono restituire memoria dei materiali costitutivi e delle tecniche costruttive impiegate nella realizzazione dei manufatti, per offrire un utile strumento di conoscenza agli studiosi ed ai tanti operatori del settore impegnati nell’intervento di recupero e/o restauro. C’est grâce à l’indépendance structurelle, à la légèreté et …
