Lines or Dots? Reproduction Processes in Handbooks on Illustration, 1890s-1910s

2016

International audience; This chapter examines the way that black and white illustrators came to terms with the industrial use of photomechanical processes and the major changes that occurred in the reproduction of illustrations from the 1890s to the early decades of the 20th century. It explores how handbooks on illustration and illustrators’ autobiographies reflected the need to preserve the so-called “vitality” of the graphic line, an autographic trace of the artist’s gesture. It focuses on the contemporary description and reception of half-tone, the screened process that breaks up tone into dots and that was used to reproduce wash, watercolour, and photographs. This process was often cri…

“‘Bosques distantes”: a matéria dos livros e a pastoral modernista“ (“‘Distant woods’: The matter of books and the modernist pastoral“)

2022

This paper is part of a broader project that aims to examine the importance of the materials used in the making of illustrated books from a medial and ecocritical perspective. I focus on a specific case study in which I explore the attitude to nature encapsulated in the use of and reference to wood in British interwar wood-engraved illustrated books. My departure point is the English artist Paul Nash’s Places (Heinemann, 1922), a short collection of prose poems and wood-engravings. An elegy produced at a time when Nash was trying to come to terms with the aftermath of the First World War, Places was published after he made the great war paintings depicting the human losses and the ecocide p…

De l'intime dans le cinéma anglophone

2015

International audience; La notion d’intime, qui touche au secret des oeuvres et des êtres, n’est pas toujours associée au cinéma anglophone, en particulier aux productions hollywoodiennes caractérisées par une prédominance du récit peu propice aux scènes d’intimité. Cette tendance qui tient à la nature même du dispositif cinématographique et a fait son attrait dès les origines, ainsi que les contradictions entre exhibition et censure, révèlent cependant l’importance de cette question au sein de la production anglophone. Si les documentaires, les archives familiales ou les films underground paraissent relever naturellement d’un cinéma de l’intime, les oeuvres de fiction, classiques ou contem…

Comment Hollywood figure l'intériorité dans les films « hollywoodiens » de David Lynch, Lost Highway (1997), Mulholland Drive (2001) et Inland Empire…

2010

en cours de publication; L'article prend comme point de départ les travaux de Zachary Baqué, traite "Lost Highway" (1997), "Mulholland Drive" (2001) et "Inland Empire" (2006) et contient un grand nombre de micro-analyses reliées entre elles. Il montre la complexité de la fonction structurante de Hollywood comme lieu, mythe et système dans les 3 films.

Intimacy in Cinema: Critical Essays on English Language Film

2014

International audience; Though intimacy has been a wide concern in the humanities, it has received little critical attention in film studies. This collection of essays investigates both the potential intimacy of cinema as a medium and the possibility of a cinema of intimacy where it is least expected. As a notion defined by binaries--inside and outside, surface and depth, public and private, self and other--intimacy, because it implies sharing, calls into question the boundaries between these extremes, and the border separating mainstream cinema and independent or auteur cinema. Following on Thomas Elsaesser's theories of the relationship between the intimacy of cinema and the cinema of int…

Couleur et transparence à l’ère des procédés photomécaniques

2015

This paper aims to show that the reception of British coloured illustrated books in the early twentieth-century reflects the artistic and aesthetic repositioning induced by the development of photomechanical process. Photomechanical reproduction freed the graphic line as well as colour. Reviews published at the turn of the century—as exemplified by The Studio—reveal a tension between opacity and transparency, materiality and lightness, chromophilia and chromophobia. These oppositions apply to the art of the book—as in the books illustrated by Arthur Rackham and Edmund Dulac—as well as to interior decoration. They are subsumed in the image of the peacock’s ocellus, the eyespot that symbolise…

Biochar from Wood Chips and Corn Cobs for Adsorption of Thioflavin T and Erythrosine B.

2022

Biochars from wood chips (WC) and corn cobs (CC) were prepared by slow pyrolysis and used for sorption separation of erythrosine B (EB) and thioflavin T (TT) in batch experiments. Biochar-based adsorbents were extensively characterized using FTIR, XRD, SEM-EDX, and XPS techniques. The kinetics studies revealed that adsorption on external surfaces was the rate-limiting step for the removal of TT on both WC and CC biochar, while intraparticle diffusion was the rate-limiting step for the adsorption of EB. Maximal experimental adsorption capacities Qmaxexp of TT reached 182 ± 5 (WC) and 45 ± 2 mg g−1 (CC), and EB 12.7 ± 0.9 (WC) and 1.5 ± 0.4 mg g−1 (CC),…

Forest accessibility, Madonie mountains (northern Sicily, Italy): implementing a GIS decision support system

2021

Valorisation and sustainable exploitation of woody biomass from cultivation interventions might be an important opportunity to track alternative development trails for rural communities in natural protected areas. The governance of Mediterranean protected areas is characterized by overlapping, sometimes conflicting institutions, stakeholders and regulations, causing negative impacts on decision-making processes. We present an open source GIS-based decision support system tool for mapping forest accessibility and optimizing woody biomass extraction. Two models were implemented to support forest managers during the decision-making process in designing and managing wood-energy supply chains. T…
