Remote but Connected : Lapland as a Scene of Transnational Crime in Ivalo
2021
Set in a small town in the north of Finland, the crime TV series Ivalo (Arctic Circle, Finland, 2018) exemplifies the fascination of Nordic Noir with ‘remote’ locations as scenes of transnational crime. The plot seems to forebode the corona pandemic, portraying the spread of a life-threatening ‘Yemenite virus’ developed as a biological weapon from the Balkans to Lapland. In this article, I analyze how the virus narrative allows the series to bring new perspectives on Nordic Noir. The narrative emphasizes international connections while creating representations of places that can be characterized as both translocal (Greiner and Sakdapolrak 2013) and glocal (Robertson 2012). Because of its fa…
Une nouvelle peinture médiévale à Notre-Dame de Paris : le tombeau de Simon Matifas de Bucy
2008
International audience; Sur le mur méridional de la chapelle d'axe de Notre-Dame de Paris, dédiée à saint Nicaise, subsiste aujourd'hui une importante peinture murale du XIVe siècle parisien. Vestige du tombeau à enfeu de Simon Matifas de Bucy, évêque de Paris de 1290 à 1304, l'œuvre, lourdement restaurée par Viollet-le-Duc au XIXe siècle, constitue pourtant possiblement l'unique témoignage de l'activité de Jean Pucelle dans le domaine de la peinture monumentale. Des relevés et documents indirects permettent de reconstituer en partie l'histoire matérielle de ce monument et d'en évaluer la place dans l'histoire de l'art du premier tiers du XIVe siècle.
Wine metabolomic analysis : "chemical messages in a bottle"
2014
The main objective of this work was to develop non-targeted metabolomics analyses of bottled wines in order to decipher chemical informations from the time-related evolution of their composition. This original research was based on the hypothesis that, when analyzed, bottled wines would still hold chemical memories of envionmental parameters (vineyard management, oenological practices, climate, terroir…) at the moment of their elaboration, even after several years of ageing. A second hypothesis was that in order to anticipate the future evolution of the wine quality in terms of chemical composition, it is necessary to know what it was in the past. To that purpose, and for the first time in …
La ricerca pittorica di Pietro Finelli tra citazione e riscrittura
2013
Il volume raccoglie saggi di quattro studiosi, di cui due storici dell'arte e due storici del cinema, sul ciclo di pitture recenti realizzate da Pietro Finelli e ispirate al cinema noir statunitense degli anni '40 del Novecento. In particolare il saggio di Gabriella De Marco evidenzia come la ricerca dell'artista sia un esempio di ekphrasis proprio perchè si muove non solo tra ricerca figurativa e cinema ma attinge anche ai rapporti tra arte, filosofia e letteratura.
Ympäristöuhkia ja tunnistamatonta vierautta
2022
Tutkimme artikkelissamme ekologista ja affektiivista outouttamista suomalais-ruotsalaisessa spekulatiivista fiktiota ja Nordic noiria yhdistävässä televisiosarjassa White Wall (2020). Väitämme, että sarjan affektiivinen kokonaissävy muodostuu spekulatiivisen fiktion ja Nordic noirin lajityypillisten elementtien yhdistyessä, mikä rakentaa outouttavaa katsojakokemusta, jossa fiktiivisen maailman outous yhdistyy tosimaailman ekologisiin kysymyksiin. Tämä affektiivisen ja ekologisen outouttamisen yhdistelmä toimii lähtökohtana sarjan, etenkin sen keskeisen oudon ilmiön, valkoisen seinän, posthumanistiselle luennallemme. Hyödynnämme analyysissämme affektitutkimusta, eri genreteorioita sekä posth…

Des nuits blanches sous un ciel noir ? La protection de la nuit, nouvelle préoccupation des territoires
2015
ACLN; National audience; Les travaux du Collectif Renoir, à l’interface entre recherche et action, visent à mieux appréhender et à rendre opérationnelles pour les territoires les trois modalités d’action publique – conservation, valorisation, labellisation – à l’oeuvre dans les processus de protection et de patrimonialisation de la nuit en lien avec les préoccupations des transitions énergétique et écologique.
Scattering resonances and Pseudospectrum : stability and completeness aspects in optical and gravitational systems
2022
The general context of this thesis is an effort to establish a bridge between gravitational andoptical physics, specifically in the context of scattering problems using as a guideline concepts andtools taken from the theory of non-self-adjoint operators. Our focus is on Quasi-Normal Modes(QNMs), namely the natural resonant modes of open leaky structures under linear perturbationssubject to outgoing boundary conditions. They also are referred to as scattering resonances.In the conservative self-adjoint case the spectral theorem guarantees the completeness andspectral stability of the associated normal modes. In this sense, a natural question in the non-self-adjoint setting refers to the char…
Cicatrici: El secreto de sus ojos di Sacheri e Campanella
2012
In 2005 the Argentinian writer Eduardo Sacheri published The Question in Their Eyes (La pregunta de sus ojos). The novel narrates on a double level, both fictional and temporal, the decision of a retired prosecutor to come to terms with a case of rape and murder which had taken place years earlier: his life had been shattered by the consequences of that tragedy, and writing about it would be a way to start living again. The director Juan José Campanella - widely famous for having directed episodes of the television series Law & Order, but especially as the director of successful films such as El hijo de la novia - decided to adapt the novel and involved Sacheri in the project: the close c…
"Nodier and sadism: the "monstrous turpitudes" of Smarra"
2021
Nodier studies have scarcely examined the relationship between Nodier and Sade, the first one having apparently done everything to lessen his interest in the sulphurous work of the marquis. However, little is known, Nodier is the inventor, or the propagator of the word “sadism” in the French language, which appeared for the first time in 1834, in the 8th edition of the "Dictionnaire Universel" by Boiste, that, precisely, revised, amended and largely amplified by Nodier. The objective of this article is to shed light on this immorality-stricken relationship between a writer concerned about his reputation and in search of respectability (Nodier was elected to the Académie française in 1833, a…
