Penser la prose pour chanter Athènes : quelques réflexions sur le langage dans le Panathénaïque d’Aelius Aristide
2022
Sans sous-estimer la place de la poésie dans la société hellénisée du Haut-Empire, on ne peut nier que la littérature grecque d’époque impériale soit dominée par l’écriture de la prose. L’orateur prend de plus en plus nettement la place du poète, dans un rapport qui revendique tout à la fois la continuité et la rivalité. La prose s’impose en acte, par la production des œuvres elles-mêmes, mais aussi à travers une réflexion sur sa propre nature, ses valeurs et la place à laquelle elle aspire f...
Entre métaphore, allégorie et symbole : les prophéties animales merliniennes dites « romanesques »
2016
Article suite à une communication au XXIe Congrès International de la Société Internationale Renardienne, Zurich, juillet 2015; Lieux de l'allégorèse dans la littérature profane, les prophéties merliniennes exposées dans les romans en prose du XIII e siècle paraissent posséder un sens relativement clair pour le lecteur. Le bestiaire qui les compose a ainsi été qualifié d' « allégorique », dans un sens restreint du terme « allégorie »: celui d'un trope laissant aisément deviner son double sens. Si cette lecture s'applique bien au Lancelot en prose, roman matriciel du cycle Graal-Vulgate, elle doit être questionnée en ce qui concerne la Suite-Vulgate du Merlin, suite rétrospective intégrée au…

‘I do not trust any of them anymore’: Institutional distrust and corrective practices in pro-asylum activism in Finland
2022
Although there is extensive research on how institutional trust and distrust play out in the forms political participation takes, the existing research lacks thorough analysis on what trust and distrust actually consist of, that is, how individuals evaluate institutions as trustworthy or not and what consequences this evaluation has for individuals and their relation to the state more broadly. Drawing on qualitative research on Finnish citizens who engage in pro-asylum activism, we examine how institutional distrusting evolves as a reflexive process. By analysing citizens’ trust judgements on institutional practices and actions that follow, we argue that distrust in institutions enhances a…

Reproducibility of pulse wave velocity and augmentation index derived from non-invasive occlusive oscillometric tonometry analysis in adolescents
2019
The aim of this study was to investigate the short‐term reproducibility of aortic pulse wave velocity (PWVao) and augmentation index (AIx%) assessed by the non‐invasive oscillometric device. Altogether of 55 (19 boys, 36 girls) adolescents 16–19‐years‐of‐age participated in the study. PWVao and AIx% were measured during the same laboratory visit at 2 min intervals using the Arteriograph™ device. Peak oxygen uptake (V̇O2peak) was assessed by the maximal exercise test on a cycle ergometer and body fat percentage by bioelectrical impedance analysis. We studied reproducibility using intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC), coefficient variation with the root‐means‐square method expressed as p…

Individual differences in affective and cognitive processing of musical pitch
2012
Musical pitch processing has been studied extensively, but rarely in the context of affective pitch processing, or of individual differences in pitch processing. In this study, participants answered surveys measuring personality and empathy dimensions. They then listened to tonal chord sequences to determine whether they sounded correct or incorrect, and whether they sounded happy or sad, while electroencephalogram (EEG) was recorded. The last chord of each sequence could be either incorrect (containing one note which is out of tune) or correct (containing no such mistuning), and affective content was varied by having sequences resolve in major and minor modes. Personality dimension agreeab…
Brain, cognition and physically active lifestyle in healthy ageing
2018
Normal ageing is accompanied by profound changes in brain structure and declines in the automatic processing of sensory stimuli, which in turn lead to altered cognitive performance. However, behaviour and lifestyle factors, such as physical activity, may help to maintain the brain’s structural connectivity and function, as well as cognitive functioning in old age. Study I examined the effects of age on the brain’s capability to detect changes in somatosensory stimuli by recording event-related potentials (ERPs) in response to electrical stimulation of different fingers in young and older adults. The results of Study I show that somatosensory mismatch response (sMMR) was attenuated in amplit…
Effects of density, species interactions, and environmental stochasticity on the dynamics of British bird communities
2022
Our knowledge of the factors affecting species abundances is mainly based on time-series analyses of a few well-studied species at single or few localities, but we know little about whether results from such analyses can be extrapolated to the community level. We apply a joint species distribution model to long-term time-series data on British bird communities to examine the relative contribution of intra- and interspecific density dependence at different spatial scales, as well as the influence of environmental stochasticity, to spatiotemporal interspecific variation in abundance. Intraspecific density dependence has the major structuring effect on these bird communities. In addition, envi…
