An Evaluation Matrix to Compare Computer Hydrological Models for Flood Predictions
2020
In order to predict and control the impacts of floods in torrents, it is important to verify the simulation accuracy of the most used hydrological models. The performance verification is particularly needed for applications in watersheds with peculiar climatic and geomorphological characteristics, such as the Mediterranean torrents. Moreover, in addition to the accuracy, other factors affect the choice of software by stakeholders (users, modellers, researchers, etc.). This study introduces a &ldquo

Dictionnaire des mythes et concepts de la création
2015
International audience; Faire œuvre revient, pour l'artiste, à répéter le geste inaugural du Créateur. Mais si, au commencement, le monde fut créé ex nihilo, par l'effet d'une pure parole, il en va autrement de l’œuvre d'art qui, elle, est le produit d'une histoire et d'une poétique. Après avoir interrogé la notion de création et les discours qu'elle a suscités, cet ouvrage propose à la fois un lexique des concepts esthétiques propres à l'acte créateur et un répertoire des grands mythes fondateurs à l'origine de l'œuvre d'art.

Dans les labyrinthes du récit : romans minotauréens et romans dédaléens
2017
L’univers sans doute est immense et labyrinthique. Il reste que les brumes, les nuées qui constamment s’y effilochent et s’y recomposent, dissimulent un plan quadrillé que balisent des échos, des rappels, des repères périodiques. Le monde n’est pas une sylve inextricable et confuse, mais une forêt de colonnes dont les alignements rythmés répercutent le même message : la prééminence, sous le vacarme général, d’une architecture dépouillée. Au commencement de Cinéma, de Tanguy Viel, on est dans ...
L'identità individuale: doppi e gemelli - L'identità collettiva: cittadino vs straniero
2021
The article, which is part of a new 'encyclopaedic' assessment of ancient myth, offers a general overview of the socio-anthropological models underlying some of the most well-known Roman myths about twins, Doppelgänger, and foreigners.
Il corpo sessuato delle dee. Agricoltura, pastorizia e mondo vegetale nella Mesopotamia antica
2021
Divine love is the central theme of many ancient Mesopotamian compositions. Both Sumerian and Akkadian texts poetically describe the love and sexual relationship between gods. The object of this study is to analyze the metaphorical language used to describe divine love relationships, focusing in particular on the use of images from agriculture, pastoralism, and the plant world. Such metaphors contribute to the creation and at the same time to the reinforcement of a sexual imaginary, not only divine but also human. Divine sexuality and the metaphors used to describe it would, over the millennia, become paradigms for understanding and thinking about human sexuality: male power and vigor, fema…
Simulating Secularities: Challenges and Opportunities in the Computational Science of (Non)Religion
2021
This article provides scholars of nonreligion and secularism with an introduction to some of the major opportunities and challenges associated with the growing application of computational methods to the phenomena they study. It also illustrates these opportunities and challenges by describing several overlapping research projects and some of the models of (non)religion they have produced. Finally, the article addresses some of the significant philosophical issues surrounding the use of computer modeling and simulation, focusing on the ethical and epistemological concerns that these tools often raise. I invite scholars of nonreligion to consider adding these techniques to their methodologic…
Dimensions of the Relationship between the Individual and Her Unique Worldview Construction
2021
Each individual constructs his own private worldview using elements from established worldview traditions. The biographical character of this formation makes this the individual’s “Unique Worldview Construction” (UWC). The purpose of this theoretical study is to analyse the dynamic relationship between the individual and her own UWC. It describes more how than what he believes in or denies. The variation is exceedingly complex. To make it accessible, the complexity is crystallized into seven dimensions: (1) The authority structure deals with the individual’s perception of herself as being superordinate/subordinate to her own UWC. (2) The importance dimension analyses the span from indiffere…
