Un établissement rural mérovingien à Delle "La queue au loup" (territoire de Belfort)

2010

This merovingian establishment discovered during an archaeological evaluation to the west of the town of Delle in the Belfort territory is located on the Batte hillside about 300 m from the large Gallo-roman domain on the opposite slope of the valley. This settlement is characterised by a large edifice built of stone and perishable materials, which replaces a timber framed building. The building covers 230 m2 and vestiges of the floors, partitions and interior fittings are preserved which is rare for the period. The analysis of phosphate levels has given indications as to the function of each room. The finds are modest, but they do date, along with radiocarbon analysis, the settlement from …

The Uses of Analogies in 17th and 18th Century Science

2011

International audience; The object of this research is to look at the extent and nature of the uses of analogy during the first century following the so-called scientific revolution. Using the research tool provided by JSTOR we systematically analyze the uses of “analog” and its cognates (analogies, analogous, etc) in the hilosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London(PT) for the period 1665-1780. In addition to giving the possibility of evaluating quantitatively the proportion of papers explicitly using analogies, this approach makes it possible to go beyond the maybe idiosyncratic cases of Descartes, Kepler or Galileo and other much studied giants of the so-called Scientific Rev…

Richard Bradley - étude de quelques illustrations pré-évolutionnistes

2015

Richard Bradley (1688-1732) is an English botanist more particularly known for his books on gardening and exotic plants. He published in 1721 a treatise entitled A Philosophical Account of the Works of Nature, in which he offers the reader a complete and systematic description of the natural world organized in the best way by a benevolent God according to the principle of the Great Chain of Being. He discovers plenty of evidence of a divine order via the use of the microscope and the recent discoveries on plant sexual reproduction. However, a study of some of the illustrations reveals some doubts about the Great Chain of Being, notably regarding the place of man within nature.

Thomas Constantinesco, Writing Pain in the Nineteenth-Century United States

2023

Pain is part of life. It is part of literature as well. And in Writing Pain in the Nineteenth-Century United States, Thomas Constantinesco offers an intelligent, clearly organized, and insightful exploration of various ways in which pain is expressed—or not—through the written word in a selection of American literary works from the 1800s. Constantinesco takes his initial inspiration, in part, from Elaine Scarry’s The Body in Pain, a controversial work published in 1985, which has become recog...

Iconicity and Typography in Steve McCaffery's Panel-Poems

2007

This paper discusses Steve McCaffery's "Panel-Poems", first realized in the 1960s, with respect to the international context of concrete poetry and the emergence of a poetics of iconicity amongst a North-American avant-garde in the second half of the twentieth century. The material emphasis of McCaffery's poetry is played out typographically in his work "Carnival" (1967-75) through procedures that place the letter, the smallest denominator of language and the page in newly imagined networks of signification. The experiment with the environment of writing is sustained by a reliance upon the typewriter and other forms of scription that conceive of the reader as an active participant in the cr…
