Les agglomérations antiques du Val de Saône : émergence et mutations d’un réseau urbain de la fin de l’âge du Fer au début du Moyen Âge
2019
The aim of this thesis is to study the processes of emergence, structuring and mutation of an ancient urban network from the end of the Protohistory to the beginning of the Middle Ages in a micro-region located on the edge of the ancient éduens, lingons and séquanes territories, the Saône Valley. This area is characterized by a density of Gallo-Roman small towns with an amount and a high quality of data unequalled in Gaul, as a result of ancient and recent research. While these small towns were among the first studied in the 1980’s, their exploitation was limited to the study of hierarchies and urban functions during the High Empire, neglecting the chronology and the evolution of the urban …
Entre destructions et reconstructions, le patrimoine sicilien pendant et après la Seconde Guerre mondiale
2020
Dans cette contribution, nous présentons les traces sur le terrain et dans les archives d’un bombardement survenu à Solonte dans la nuit du 12 décembre 1942. Le point de départ de cette recherche est une photographie conservée dans les archives du Musée archéologique régional Antonio Salinas, documentant la restauration d’une citerne de Solonte suite aux bombardements alliés. Nos recherches dans les archives ont permis de reconstituer la chronologie des faits et de mettre en lumière le rôle des Surintendants des Antiquités de la Sicile occidentale, Jole Bovio Marconi puis Vincenzo Tusa, pendant et après la guerre pour protéger le patrimoine culturel. Solonte, comme d’autres sites siciliens,…
The ambiguities of "granted constitutionalism" : a transatlantic debate (III)
2018
Our journey ends in Brazil. According to textbooks of constitutional history, this "periphery" country, recently independent, looked with envy at the European and North American constitutional novelties, not without trying to maintain its identity. Olhos na Europa, pés na América? Doubtless ; still it is necessary to measure the extent of this "Europe", admired in space as in time. The doctrine, criticizing the granted Constitution of 1824, qualified of nominal, had too long hid the reality, even the efficiency, of a constitutionalism in singular outlines, which involves both social and institutional engineering, thus not reducible to the modern constitutionalism. The political actors of Br…

Le regard dans la Mostellaria de Plaute
2014
Au premier abord, la thématique de la vue et du regard évoque davantage les mythes thébains, ou le Cycle épique et les tragédies qui s’en inspirent, que la comédie : ce sont Œdipe et Tirésias, Penthée et Actéon, qui furent punis d’avoir vu ce qu’ils n’auraient pas dû voir. Je visitai récemment une exposition sur Shakespeare au British Museum : un reliquaire contenant l’œil d’un Jésuite exécuté en 1606, qui y était présenté pour son lien politique avec Macbeth, me fit davantage penser au Roi L...
Measurements of diachronic stability of agrarian exploitation
2007
International audience; Off-site material has two main interesting properties which are that it is spatially continuous and diachronic. Such data can be used to estimate how ancient societies invested in a space in terms of intensity, durability and stability, over the long term. This micro-analysis is based on a precise record of off-site material based on collection units which never exceed five hectares. Each off-site sherd was dated and attributed to one of seven chronological phases. Three new indicators are proposed to measure the level of investment of ancient societies. The computing and mapping of these indicators was done using GIS software. The data used in this paper come mainly…
The selective advantage of cystic fibrosis heterozygotes tested by aDNA analysis: A preliminary investigation
2000
Recently a heterozygote advantage was suggested to explain the high incidence (1:25 carrier individuals in Europeans) of the cystic fibrosis gene. This selective advantage was speculated to be due to a high resistance to chloride-secreting diarrhea, including cholera. Up to now the major efforts to test directly this hypothesis have been limited to animal models.
Playwrights, actor-managers and the Plautinian text in antiquity
2016
Vengono indagate sistematicamente le prime fasi della trasmissione della commedia latina e si cerca di mostrare che gli originali divenivano proprieta´ degli aediles, ma solo per una rappresentazione.
