Vins d’appellations et gastronomie régionale. La genèse bourguignonne d’un modèle novateur (années 1920-1930)

2016

Boire du vin au restaurant, le choisir ou le faire choisir en fonction du plat sélectionné, étudier la carte des boissons tout comme le menu, ou encore commenter les domaines et les millésimes, sont des actes totalement intégrés par les amateurs de gastronomie du XXIe siècle. Et même si les associations mets vins tendent à s’internationaliser, déguster un produit local avec un vin du cru reste un moment important pour nombre de personnes souhaitant visiter une région. Cette démarche, si commune aujourd’hui, résulte pourtant d’un processus historique finalement assez récent et dont l’évidence contemporaine n’a rien de manifeste historiquement. En France au début du XXe siècle seulement, et d…

Cultural Contagion from Micro to Macro: A Semiopragmatics Approach

2017

International audience; Although cultures are a group-based process, cultural change occurs on the level of the individual, through micro-level interactions which give rise to new representations. Based on the semiopragmatics approach to communications, this contribution will theorize this process of cultural evolution, linked to the phenomenon of contagion, notably assisted by media and internet-based communication, based on examples of recent emerging cultural trends.

Developing EU Heritage Diplomacy : Notions of Cultural Diplomacy, Cultural Heritage, and Intercultural Dialogue among EU Officials and European Herit…

2021

The European Commission has recently identified cultural heritage as a focus area for EU cultural diplomacy. The article explores EU cultural diplomacy that deals with cultural heritage and develops the concept of heritage diplomacy based on a critical discourse analysis of interviews with EU officials and heritage practitioners working at sites awarded with the European Heritage Label. What do these actors mean by cultural diplomacy and how do they understand the role and potential of cultural heritage for it and with what effects? The analysis indicates that heritage diplomacy means different things for EU officials and heritage practitioners. Their discourses on the uses of cultural heri…

Virtual Museum and Small Museums : ViMuseo.fi Project

2011

New media are a huge opportunity and challenge for museums, especially for small institutions without digitized resources. The ViMuseo.fi is a research project conducted at the University of Jyväskylä, Finland. The research focuses on the possibilities of new media in presenting cultural heritage in small Finnish museums. As a part of the research, a tool to present small museums on the Web was developed. The ViMuseo tool is a CMS for creating multimedia presentations, and was designed specifically for small institutions without digitized resources. The possible deployment of the tool is also discussed. peerReviewed

Cultural heritage in social media : Museum of Photography

2012

The research Cultural Heritage in Social Media: Museum of Photography deals with a new form of displaying and preserving cultural heritage in the 21st century by using social media tools. This paper is an analysis of a Romanian cultural heritage blog, Museum of Photography, which contains documentary photography from the end of the 19th century until 1990’s as well as other types of photographs related to the interests’ of Alex Galmeanu – the owner of Museum of Photography. The aim of this research is to demonstrate that cultural heritage exists outside the boundaries of formal institutions, namely museums, thus showing that the meaning of the word “museum” is expanding and that the public …

Genome sequence of SeIV-1, a novel virus from the Iflaviridae family infective to Spodoptera exigua

2011

Analysis of the transcriptome of Spodoptera exigua larvae revealed the presence of several ESTs with homology to virus of the order Picornavirales and with the highest similarity to Infectious flacherie virus (Iflaviridae) that infects Bombyx mori larvae. Iflaviridae is a recently defined family of insect-infecting viruses that consist of positive single strand RNA genomes translated into a single polyprotein of around 3000 amino acids long. Using the sequence information derived from the obtained ESTs, we have completed the genomic sequence of this virus. The novel S. exigua iflavirus (SeIV-1) has a genome of 10.3 kb and codes for a 3222 aa polyprotein. Expression analysis has revealed the…
