Trahisons et idées de trahison sous les princes angevins et normands (1050-1150)
2008
International audience; Cet article constitue le point de départ d'une réflexion suscitée par l'appréciation de Stephan Cuttler dans son livre sur la trahison de 1981 (The Law of Treason and treason trials in later medieval France); dans cette étude qui porte sur la fin du Moyen Âge, l'auteur rappelle que le fondement juridique de la trahison médiévale est romain. Mais il estime aussi qu'entre le VIè et le XIè siècle, l'influence du droit romain est devenue négligeable, aussi voit-il la trahison principalement sous la forme atténuée de l'infidélité du vassal à l'égard de son seigneur. Après avoir développé plusieurs cas, en commençant par celui de l'éviction du comte d'Anjou Geoffroy le bar…
The Active Nature of the Soul in Sense Perception: Robert Kilwardby and Peter Olivi
2010
AbstractThis article discusses the theories of perception of Robert Kilwardby and Peter of John Olivi. Our aim is to show how in challenging certain assumptions of medieval Aristotelian theories of perception they drew on Augustine and argued for the active nature of the soul in sense perception. For both Kilwardby and Olivi, the soul is not passive with respect to perceived objects; rather, it causes its own cognitive acts with respect to external objects and thus allows the subject to perceive them. We also show that Kilwardby and Olivi differ substantially regarding where the activity of the soul is directed to and the role of the sensible species in the process, and we demonstrate that …
Auditory Profiles of Classical, Jazz, and Rock Musicians: Genre-Specific Sensitivity to Musical Sound Features
2016
When compared with individuals without explicit training in music, adult musicians have facilitated neural functions in several modalities. They also display structural changes in various brain areas, these changes corresponding to the intensity and duration of their musical training. Previous studies have focused on investigating musicians with training in Western classical music. However, musicians involved in different musical genres may display highly differentiated auditory profiles according to the demands set by their genre, i.e., varying importance of different musical sound features. This hypothesis was tested in a novel melody paradigm including deviants in tuning, timbre, rhythm,…

Justice et société dans la France du 18e siècle
2005
Relations between justice and society in 1 8th-century France can no longer be presented simply by legal standards ; they must also take social practice into account. All means of dealing with criminality, whether within (penal and civil) justice or outside state institutions must be analysed. The settlement of conflicts is concretised as a process in pluralism which associates or juxtaposes judicial, sub-judicial and para-judicial modalities, according to the case. Arbitrariness allowed them a great flexibility in their organisation.
CODING PARTITIONS OF REGULAR SETS
2009
A coding partition of a set of words partitions this set into classes such that whenever a sequence, of minimal length, has two distinct factorizations, the words of these factorizations belong to the same class. The canonical coding partition is the finest coding partition that partitions the set of words in at most one unambiguous class and other classes that localize the ambiguities in the factorizations of finite sequences. We prove that the canonical coding partition of a regular set contains a finite number of regular classes and we give an algorithm for computing this partition. From this we derive a canonical decomposition of a regular monoid into a free product of finitely many re…
Superfluid density and quasi-long-range order in the one-dimensional disordered Bose–Hubbard model
2015
We study the equilibrium properties of the one-dimensional disordered Bose-Hubbard model by means of a gauge-adaptive tree tensor network variational method suitable for systems with periodic boundary conditions. We compute the superfluid stiffness and superfluid correlations close to the superfluid to glass transition line, obtaining accurate locations of the critical points. By studying the statistics of the exponent of the power-law decay of the correlation, we determine the boundary between the superfluid region and the Bose glass phase in the regime of strong disorder and in the weakly interacting region, not explored numerically before. In the former case our simulations are in agreem…
La formazione spirituale del bambino secondo Maria Montessori
2022
This paper presents a Maria Montessori’s unprecedented and little known aspect: it is her attention to the child’s spiritual education. Although for a long time her educational method was considered a positivist method, today some critics recognize in her view the presence of an educational theory of interiority that starts from an universal and cosmic perspective: in the children’s homes is created a space where the secrets of the spiritual life man’s are revealed. Education for a cosmic peace, meditative silence, social education through meditative work shared in a community way, are some practices with wich the child begins a path of spiritual education that makes him aware of his own se…
Hagiographie et diplomatique dans le monachisme réformé en Bourgogne au miroir du manuscrit 1 de Semur-en-Auxois
2014
International audience; Le propos de cet article est, à partir de l'exemple du manuscrit 1 de la Bibliothèque municipale de Semur-en-Auxois, de penser la question de la transtextualité, en empruntant cette notion à la théorie littéraire, tout en la restituant non seulement en fonction du texte de l'énoncé, mais également en relation aux signes visuels et matériels de la mise par écrit, « la raison graphique », sur la longue durée. Il s'agit aussi d'interroger le rôle des différents chantiers scripturaires propres à la "renovatio" monastique au tournant des X e et XI e siècles, comme l'un des moyens de « mise en norme » dans le cadre d'une redéfinition plus large de la place occupée par les …
Viva voce: Voice and Voicelessness among Twelfth-Century Clerics
2015
Writing in his Summa on Gratian’s Decretum1 toward 1164, canonist Rufinus of Bologna2 evokes criminal prelates, saying, “vocem accusandi, reprehendi, docendi non habent” (they do not have a voice to accuse, punish, teach).3 Should this enumeration be understood as a commonplace statement about three possible functions of the voice, or should we suspect a set of deeper associations? Is Rufinus’s use of the word “voice” simply an alternative to other rhetorical or stylistic possibilities—such as the word “word” in particular—or is it truly a deliberate choice on the part of the canonist?
