Roman wood sculptures from Burgundy
2013
For the first time, the corpus of Roman wood sculptures from Burgundy is gathered together in a catalogue, with added photographic documents and bibliography. The twenty-five sculptures are listed and studied from a stylistic, iconographic and technical point of view. In the XIIth century, an actual school of monastic wood sculpture seemed to develop within the boundaries of the duchy of Burgundy, bringing a great diversity as far as formal and technical contributions are concerned. The sculptures that are the most representative to help the understanding of those numerous contributions are thoroughly studied. Their stylistic relationships with manuscripts dating back from the Carolingian R…
“Allochronic Views of Native Americans; or, Vanished Vanishing Indians in The Last of the Mohicans”
2016
James Fenimore Cooper’s The Last of the Mohicans; A Narrative of 1757, first published in 1826, offers an archetypal example, perhaps the archetypal example, of a literary expression of the trope of the Vanishing Indian. This theme is present in many works of nineteenth-century American literature that include Native Americans as their subjects, but Cooper’s romance, whose very title evokes the disappearance of an entire tribe, takes the sad fate of North America’s indigenous peoples as one o...
Dos inscripciones sobre la fundación de Lara y una sobre sus siete infantes, con un análisis evolutivo de su iglesia parroquial
2016
Se someten a crítica filológica e histórica tres inscripciones epigráficas procedentes de Lara de los Infantes que abordan el discutido tema del origen de Castilla. La factura de la más antigua, encontrada en la ermita de San Julián (en el Museode Burgos desde principios del siglo XX) se debió de redactar a mediados del siglo XII, en sintonía con el monasterio burgalés de San Pedro de Arlanza, pues resalta la preeminencia de este centro en su vínculo con Fernán González. Posiblemente se basó también en una tradición local lareña hoy perdida y, en todo caso, partiendo de noticias espurias. En época humanística, antes del año 1600, se realizó una copia de esta inscripción a la que se añadió o…
Los canecillos de la Capilla del Cementerio de San Juan del Hospital de Valencia
2020
In the medieval cemetery of the Historic Site of San Juan del Hospital of Valencia is housed a small funeral chapel founded in the late thirteenth century by the knight Arnau de Romaní. Along its cornice there are a series of heads of animals and humans that are one of the few sculptural vestiges inserted into the Romanesque iconographic tradition that are preserved in the city. So far they have not aroused the interest of specialists and no one has dedicated a detailed study to these curious and interesting images located in the marginal spaces of such a beautiful building. This article aims to complete this gap addressing the study of the corbels of the small temple, projecting a thematic…
Reconstitution virtuelle de l’église abbatiale Cluny III : des fouilles archéologiques aux algorithmes de l’imagerie
2009
The pluridisciplinary team, called Gunzo, has been set up in the Engineering School Arts et Métiers Paristech in Cluny (France) to prepare a digital mock-up of the greatest Romanesque abbey church of the Christendom (12th cent.). Unfortunately this building was destroyed after the French Revolution. Due to the only 8% remaining now, the visit is difficult to understand. It was necessary to organize didactic tools to respond to the touristic affluence.
Les Éditions Pyrodactyles ou la nostalgie de la littérature
2014
ACL Nat; National audience; Les Éditions Pyrodactyles est une maison d’édition fictive comprenant un panel d’auteurs inventés par Alice Forge, plasticienne depuis 2009, dans une démarche héritée des univers vertigineux et ludiques de Borges et Perec. Ces textes fantômes sont le prolongement d’œuvres réelles, souvent issues de la littérature populaire (Roman d’aventure, roman policier, roman feuilleton et science-fiction). Les auteurs des Éditions Pyrodactyles sont eux-mêmes issus du patrimoine littéraire, inspirés qu’ils sont de personnages romanesques, comme le comte de Monte-Cristo, le capitaine Nemo, Arsène Lupin, etc. S’ajoute à cette littérature une correspondance et une paralittératur…
