The Preservation of Galata’s St. George Explored through Ottoman Documents
2020

David George’s Nightscapes: Interartial Sanctuaries of Darkness
2019
Les photographies de David George sont des paysages depourvus de toute presence humaine et systematiquement photographies de nuit. Tandis que la photographie contemporaine privilegie une certaine clarte analytique, les œuvres etudiees ici sont obscures ou crepusculaires. L’artiste travaille a la croisee de la photographie, de la peinture, de la litterature et du cinema convoquant de multiples evocations de la nuit. Les paysages banals et familiers deviennent mysterieux, etranges, charges d’emotions. Son travail sur la lumiere nocturne souligne l’ambivalence de notre rapport a l’obscurite et nous plonge dans un temps et un espace autres. Ces paysages liminaux, des paysages d’absence ou l’eau…
Microduplications At 22q11.21 are Associated with Classic Bladder Exstrophy
2010
Purpose Classic exstrophy of the bladder (CBE) is part of the exstrophy-epispadias complex (EEC), a spectrum of urogenital anomalies in which part or all of the distal urinary tract fails to close. Familial occurrence has been observed, and previous studies have suggested an underlying multifactorial mode of inheritance. To date, no causative genetic or non-genetic factor has been unequivocally identified in humans. The present study aimed to identify microaberrations characterized by loss or gain of genomic material that contribute to the EEC at a genome-wide level. Material and Methods Molecular karyotyping, utilizing 549,839 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with an average spacing …

George Canning: un Tory dalla politica progressista
2020
Il saggio analizza la premiership di George Canning, incaricato il 10 aprile 1827, esaminando la sua formazione e la sua carriera politica prima e dopo Pitt, e soprattutto, il suo ruolo all’interno dell’Esecutivo, il suo rapporto con il Sovrano e con il Parlamento. La sua nomina è risultata significativa, poichè capace di determinare una frattura nel sistema politico esistente, riuscendo ad unire coloro che, non soddisfatti, sedevano nelle file di entrambi i partiti, i Tory e i Whig. An analysis of the premiership of George Canning, appointed on 10 April 1827, and an examination of his education and his political career before and after Pitt, paying close attention to his standing in govern…

Il Cabinet d'amateur di Georges Perec
2011
In 1979 one year after the publication of La vie mode d’emploi, George Perec wrote Cabinet d’amateur. Histoire d’un tableau, in which he tells the story of a painting belonging to the genre of the cabinet d’amateur, also known as kunst- und wunderkammer. It is a collection of different paintings, usually belonging to a rich man or a notable, portrayed (once again) in a single picture celebrating the magnificence of this more or less real collection. As for the pictorial genre, so the short novel is the celebration of the images collected by George Perec in his previous masterpiece, La vie mode d’emploi. This is why I assume this work to be referable to the genre of structural homology more …
Resisting Bodies: Power Crisis / Meaning Crisis in the Zombie Film from 1932 to Today
2011
Critics have repeatedly focused on the political subtexts of the living dead films of George A. Romero, revealing, notably, how they reflect specific social concerns. In order to determine what makes the zombie movie and the figure of the zombie so productive of political readings, this article examines, first, the classic zombie movies influenced by voodoo lore, then Romero’s initial living dead trilogy (1968-1985), and finally some of the most successful films released in the 2000s. Resorting to a post-structuralist framework including Althusser’s notions of state apparatuses, Foucault’s distinction between subjection and subjectification, and Butler’s analyses of subversive resignificati…
