La précolonisation : un mot pour dire l’archéologie des premiers contacts ?
2018
Cet article propose de revenir sur la précolonisation, une notion fondatrice de la littérature archéologique sur la colonisation grecque. On y aborde son interprétation théorique et les difficultés qui y sont liées. Concept idéologiquement très chargé, en particulier dans le cadre de la tradition d’études postcoloniales, illustrant initialement l’émulation et la rivalité entre les partisans de la thalassocratie phénicienne et les tenants de la primauté des Grecs comme civilisateurs de l’Occident, la notion de précolonisation demeure à notre sens pertinente au même titre que celle de colonisation. Les deux illustrent deux phénomènes historiquement et fonctionnellement différents, malgré l’id…
Role of the microbiota in the defense against infections by Enterococci
2017
Resumen de la Tesis : “Role of the microbiota in the defense against infections by Enterococci” Introducción El tracto gastrointestinal está colonizado por centenares de especies de bacterias comensales. Se ha visto en los últimos años que dichas bacterias presentan un papel crucial en la prevención y resolución de enfermedades infecciosas. La microbiota comensal inhibe a patógenos oportunistas mediante mecanismos (i) de interacción directa, por producción de sustancias inhibitorias o competición por nutrientes (ii) indirectos, por la inducción del sistema inmune. El tratamiento con antibióticos altera la composición de la microbiota intestinal promoviendo la colonización intestinal por pat…
The insufficiencies of legal assimilation for economic and social integration in the French colonies in the 19th century
2007
Communication at the Center of social History of the 20th century, University of Paris 1 Pantheon-Sorbonne, Malher Center, June 22-23 2001 (The legacy of Colonization and Decolonization in Europe and the Americas); The case of the inhabitants of the French colonies in 19th century shows the importance but also the insufficiency of legal assimilation for economic and social integration. The evolution of the legal statute of colored men, free, freed and slaves, reveals the assimilationnist or segregationist intent of the different regimes. The principle of colonization (preservation of the colonies, or even colonial expansion) was widely accepted in 19th century. It was not called into questi…
"Meidän lapinmaamme" : Ylä-Savon erämaiden rajakysymys keskiajalla ja 1500-luvulla
2022
Artikkelissa käsittelen pohjoisimman Savon rajojen muotoutumista keskiajalla ja 1500-luvulla Täyssinän rauhaan 1595 saakka. Sen päälähteenä on käytetty rajanmuodostuksesta kertovia tuomiokirjeitä ja rajaluetteloita, joita on peilattu paikannimitutkimukseen. Pääkysymyksiä ovat pohjoisen Savon Novgorodin ja Venäjän vastaisen itärajan muotoutuminen Pähkinäsaaren rauhansopimuksen (1323) jälkeen sekä Hämeen vastaisen länsirajan synty 1400-luvun puolivälissä. Artikkeli esittää, että 1400-luvun alkupuolelta peräisin oleva niin sanottu A-luettelo ja Turun maaoikeuden vuonna 1415 antama rajatuomio viittasivat pohjoisimmalta osaltaan erämaassa kulkeneeseen Matkusjokeen ja paikallisten asukkaiden vesi…
Fungal root endophyte associations of plants endemic to the Pamir Alay Mountains of Central Asia.
2011
The fungal root endophyte associations of 16 species from 12 families of plants endemic to the Pamir Alay Mountains of Central Asia are presented. The plants and soil samples were collected in Zeravshan and Hissar ranges within the central Pamir Alay mountain system. Colonization by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) was found in 15 plant species; in 8 species it was of the Arum type and in 4 of the Paris type, while 3 taxa revealed intermediate arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) morphology. AMF colonization was found to be absent only in Matthiola integrifolia, the representative of the Brassicaceae family. The AM status and morphology are reported for the first time for all the species analyzed a…
An updated checklist of Recent ostracods (Crustacea: Ostracoda) from inland waters of Sicily and adjacent small islands with notes on their distribut…
2020
Because of its position in the middle of the Mediterranea Sea and a complex geological history that has promoted repeated waves of biological colonization, Sicily (Southern Italy) is of particular interest from a biogeographical perspective. A number of previous investigations, dating back as far as the end of the 19th century, have contributed to gather information about the occurrence of Recent non-marine ostracods in Sicily, making this region one of the most intensively studied areas of the Central Mediterranean. Published data on ostracod distributions have been integrated through an extensive field survey on mainland Sicily and surrounding small islands and archipelagos. Altogether, 2…
On the origin and diversification of Podolian cattle breeds: testing scenarios of European colonization using genome-wide SNP data
2021
AbstractBackgroundDuring the Neolithic expansion, cattle accompanied humans and spread from their domestication centres to colonize the ancient world. In addition, European cattle occasionally intermingled with both indicine cattle and local aurochs resulting in an exclusive pattern of genetic diversity. Among the most ancient European cattle are breeds that belong to the so-called Podolian trunk, the history of which is still not well established. Here, we used genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) data on 806 individuals belonging to 36 breeds to reconstruct the origin and diversification of Podolian cattle and to provide a reliable scenario of the European colonization, throug…
REAL HUMANS? : Affective imaginaries of the human and its Others in the Swedish TV series Äkta människor
2019
According to the Swedish science fiction TV series Äkta människor (Real Humans, SVT and Matador film 2012-2014), humanoid robots called “hubots” are replacing the human workforce in care work and assembly line industries. Against the backdrop of current debates about immigration and citizenship in the Nordic countries, this article does a close, contextual reading of the series, exploring how the hubots influence work and family life. We are particularly interested in how hubots tie in with the cultural circulation of affect in relation to Otherness and how responses towards the “not-quite” human or dehumanized Other are negotiated in the present-day Nordic cultural imaginaries. What kinds …
Civil society organizations in high-immigration borders. Between humanitarianism and the defense of rights
2020
Resumen Este artículo tiene como objetivo analizar el papel de las Organizaciones de la Sociedad Civil (OSC) en lugares de frontera con una alta migración, como son los casos de la frontera México-Estados Unidos y Marruecos-España, dos de los corredores migratorios de mayor importancia en el mundo. En estos espacios, sometidos a una vigilancia y una militarización cada vez mayores, las OSC vienen desarrollando desde hace tiempo una labor que se enfrenta crecientemente a los condicionantes impuestos por las políticas de control migratorio y de fronteras de los Estados. El artículo se basa en los resultados de del trabajo de terreno desarrollado en la ciudad fronteriza de Tijuana (México) y e…
Social Inclusion and Exclusion in the Life Stories of Deported Asylum Seekers from Finland to Iraqi Kurdistan
2018
This study explores how social inclusion and exclusion manifest as a dynamic continuum in the everyday lived realities of irregular migrants. Based on narratives of Iraqi Kurdish asylum seekers, who were eventually deported from Finland, the analysis depicts the ways in which societal structures, personal negotiations as well as relationships and social networks interplay in lives characterized by multiple locations, transitions and positions. Establishing and maintaining social contacts, belonging to various networks and being able to decide and act are primary factors that help us understand how the narrators relate to the continuum. The participants construct narratives illustrating seve…
