Dispersal flight and colony development in the fungus-growing termites Pseudacanthotermes spiniger and P. militaris

2012

International audience; Pseudacanthotermes spiniger and P. militaris are two African fungus-growing termites (Termitidae, Macrotermitinae) which may become pests in disturbed agrosystems where they often live in sympatry. To study their development and their reproductive strategies, colonies of both species were reared in the laboratory for 20 and 17 years, respectively, after their foundation from reproductive pairs. The first steps of development were in great part similar in both species, although P. spiniger favoured the defence during the juvenile period, while P. militaris tended to favour a rapid development. While P. spiniger colonies did not produce alates until year 7 of colony li…

Decolonial Thinking and Refugees’ Stories. The Queens of Syria Documentary (2014)

2019

As an important stimulus for the international mushrooming of artistic creativity in public spaces, counter narratives by displaced people are contributing to the reframing of the political and sociolinguistic contemporary framework, where migrant identities are fighting to gain a voice. A counter wave of audiovisual productions based on aesthetic discourse has emerged within territories that seem to be losing their humanity with respect to migration issues, and seem to publicly reinforce forms of spectacularisation. Against a backdrop of international political conflict, where migrants and dispossessed refugees are nameless and cannot speak, visual and performative arts have taken on a dec…

Uno sguardo d'insieme

2021

Nell’Europa bassomedievale mantenere il potere, ottenere il consenso e contrastare gli oppositori furono obiettivi imprescindibili per tutti i sovrani, nella complessa e, a volte, conflittuale dialettica tra la monarchia e le realtà locali. Una pluralità di soggetti entrava in gioco nella gestione del potere, nella macchina del consenso e nella composizione del dissenso. Accanto ai protagonisti del palcoscenico politico (imperatori, papi e re), cercavano spazio di negoziazione attori comprimari ma essenziali per l’azione scenica (aristocratici, città, regine consorti ed ebrei). Divisioni e contrasti interni compromettevano il funzionamento della compagine statale e appannavano l’immagine de…

García & Cernadas (eds.), Reginae Iberia: El Poder Regio Femenino en Los Reinos Medievales Peninsulares (Universidade de Santiago de Compostela, 2015)

2017

The volume "Reginae Iberia" is a compilation of some of the papers presented at the International Congress on Queens and Infantas in Medieval Iberian Kingdoms, held in Santiago de Compostela from the 21 st to 23 rd May 2014. The editors of this volume, Miguel Garcia and Silvia Cernadas, selected a total of 12 articles, which despite focussing on very different topics, all served to emphasise a shared central idea. With these articles, the editors aimed to present a range of new and complementary readings on the Iberian monarchy, whilst highlighting the leading role of women at the heart of these houses and challenging the perception that they served purely for decorative or reproductive pur…

Il tesoro recuperato. L’inventario dei beni delle regine di Sicilia confiscati a Manfredi Alagona nel 1393

2007

Partendo dal ritrovamento, presso l’Archivio di Stato di Palermo, di un inventario di beni confiscati a Manfredi Alagona nel 1393, il lavoro ricostruisce il percorso del tesoro delle regine siciliane (Costanza d’Aragona, Maria di Sicilia) che era stato incamerato dagli Alagona, potente famiglia di origine aragonese trapiantata in Sicilia. Uno studio dettagliato degli oggetti inventariati permette l’analisi di vari aspetti legati al costume e alla società sul finire del XIV secolo, dall’abbigliamento alla tavola, dal gusto e la moda del tempo alla cura della persona, dalla passione per i gioielli al culto per le reliquie. Beginning from the discovery, in the “Archivio di Stato” of Palermo, o…

"Del qual tenim loch": Leonor de Sicilia y el origen de la lugartenencia femenina en la Corona de Aragón.

2017

Durante la Baja Edad Media algunas reinas consortes de la Corona de Aragón ejercieron la Lugartenencia real, un cargo gubernamental por el cual ocupaban la posición propia de su marido, convirtiéndose en su alter ego. En el presente artículo pretendemos esclarecer los detalles de la primera Lugartenencia ejercida por una reina en la Corona de Aragón, dilucidar los motivos de su elección y la importancia que tendría para los posteriores monarcas. During the Late Middle Ages some queens consort of the Crown of Aragon were designated as lieutenants. Lieutenancy was a governmental office in which the king delegated all his power during a period of absence. In the present article we intend to cl…

Il corpo delle regine

2022

La medievistica più recente, sulla scia di nuove questioni volte a indagare la condizione reginale da prospettive diverse e originali, ha tracciato un profilo sempre più sfaccettato delle regine. In questo saggio ci proponiamo di guardare alla dimensione più esterna, materiale, e al contempo più intima, il corpo, che ha una sua storia e fa parte della storia, la costituisce non diversamente dalle strutture sociali, economiche, e dalle rappresentazioni mentali. Il corpo di una regina associa a un corpo reale, fisico, fatto di bellezza, fecondità, cure e pratiche di mantenimento della salute, di sterilità e malattia, un corpo immaginario fissato al momento della morte nel gisant che ne traman…

Anne d’Autriche en ses images : légitimation du pouvoir féminin et culture visuelle de la majesté dans la France du XVIIe siècle

2018

Anne of Austria offers an important part, yet neglected, in the the development of royal iconography in seventeenth century France. Devoided from management of power under the reign of her husband Louis XIII, she is however the subject of many representations. The number of her images increases when she accedes to the responsibilities of the government at the death of the king, in 1643, becoming regent in the name of her minor son, Louis XIV. Beyond its majority in 1651, she maintains herself at a prominent place, until the death of Mazarin in 1661. During these two decades, a deep political crisis in France culminates in the so-called Fronde. In this context, the image of Anne of Austria b…

Las exequias de Isabel de Farnesio en Guatemala, 1767-68.

2010

Las exequias reales en Hispanoamérica son un exponente de la tradición europea, en la forma y en los contenidos que se tratan en este tipo de fiestas luctuosas. En el caso de las reinas son en la mayoría de las ocasiones una forma de alabanza para rendir pleitesía a la figura del monarca, ya sea, reinante, como en este caso, oel heredero de la corona. Estas fiestas son el escaparate de una expresión simbólica que pone de manifiesto la utilización de repertorios europeos heredados de la tradición europea y española. Una de sus mayores muestras son los jeroglíficos, que componen una tradición arraigada en las exequias, como forma de alabar y glorificar la vida y actos del difunto. Estas carte…
