Le rituel irlandais de consécration des églises au Moyen Âge : le témoignage des sources irlandaises et bretonnes

2011

L’étude du seul traité irlandais sur la consécration des églises (xie siècle) et sa comparaison avec les sacramentaires et ordines du viiie siècle permettent de relever des analogies avec la liturgie gallicane, mêlée de quelques éléments orientaux. La découverte d’un schéma de dédicace dans le ms 477 d’Angers (ixe siècle), d’origine bretonne (Landévennec) et d’influence irlandaise, confirme quant à elle les singularités du rituel irlandais : inscription d’un double alphabet latin sur le sol ; utilisation de psaumes de malédiction ; circumambulation de l’église en récitant des psaumes graduels. Les textes hagiographiques du viie siècle complètent la compréhension du rituel irlandais : alors …

Voltaire et la justice d'Ancien Régime : la médiatisation d'une imposture intellectuelle

2010

Voltaire passe aujourd’hui pour un heros du progres judiciaire. Il doit cette reputation a des affaires exceptionnelles, rencontrees au soir de sa vie, ou il a su deployer avec succes son genie de la communication. A cette occasion, il a presente un tableau inexact de la justice penale de son temps. La posterite a, le plus souvent, recopie et repete aveuglement les critiques du philosophe sans en verifier la veracite, faisant ainsi passer l’arbre pour la foret et nourrissant une legende noire encore trop vivace.

Victim-Naming in the Murder Mystery Series Twin Peaks: A Corpus-Stylistic Study

2020

Corpus linguistics is advancing rapidly in the study of a wide variety of genres, but is still at its infancy in the study of TV series, a genre daily consumed by millions of viewers. Murder mystery series are one of the most popular and proliferous, but no studies, to date, have used corpus-stylistics methodologies in the analysis of the pivotal character of the victim in the whole narrative. This paper applied this methodology hoping to shed some light on the quantitative and qualitative relationship between the participation roles of the characters, and the frequency and distribution of victim-naming choices in the dialogue of the two first seasons of the acclaimed TV series Twin Peaks. …

Documenting the indignation: Responses to the 2008 financial crisis in contemporary Spanish cinema

2017

ABSTRACTThe aim of this article is to analyze two Spanish documentary films that reflect on the 2008 financial crisis in Spain, Mercado de futuros (Mercedes Alvarez, 2011) and No estamos solos (Pere Joan Ventura, 2015). These movies could be marked as political for their choice of a collective protagonist and for dealing with the issues of inequality with the purpose of appealing to mobilization and resistance to the neoliberal Western agenda that have provoked social cutbacks after the 2008 crisis. Mercedes Alvarez and Pere Joan Ventura follow the tradition of political documentaries traced by filmmakers such as Dziga Vertov, Joris Ivens, Pere Portabella, and Basilio Martin Patino and open…

Peace Mediations: Recourse to the Arbitration in the kingdom of Valencia (XIV-XV Centuries)

2017

Arbitration, as a means of conciliation, had an extraordinary diffusion in the Medieval West. It had the advantage of being more quick and, generally, less expensive that the causes resolved by the ordinary courts. Moreover, it tried to reconcile the interests of the warring parties. This paper seeks to define the main features of the arbitration in the kingdom of Valencia during the Middle Ages focusing the observation on the small rural community of Vilafranca.

¿Atenuación del compromiso del hablante?: el caso de los evidenciales "por lo visto" y "se ve que"

2018

espanolBuena parte de la bibliografia sobre marcadores evidenciales en espanol senala la atenuacion del compromiso (o responsabilidad) de lo dicho como uno de sus rasgos definitorios. Sin embargo, tanto la nocion de atenuacion como la de compromiso del hablante se han empleado con distintas acepciones, segun los trabajos. En primer lugar, se revisan estas acepciones y se propone, siguiendo a Cornillie/Delbecque, distinguir las nociones compromiso del hablante de implicacion del hablante, las cuales funcionan de manera inversa en algunos usos evidenciales: (i) de las evidencias reportativas a las inferenciales conjeturales hay una escala de menos a mas implicacion del hablante; (ii) en las e…

Asymmetries of Knowledge and Epistemic Change in Social Gaming Interaction

2014

While a growing number of studies investigate the role of knowledge and interactional management of knowledge asymmetries in conversation analysis, the epistemic organization of multilingual and second language interactions is still largely unexplored. This article addresses this issue by investigating how knowledge asymmetries and changing positions with regard to knowledge impact social interaction in multilingual gaming activities. Drawing on a collection of video recordings of social gaming sessions collected over a two year period and involving the same two participants, we examine how the participants orient to knowledge and deal with knowledge asymmetries while solving game-related p…
