Morphology and genetics reveal an intriguing pattern of differentiation at a very small geographic scale in a bird species, the forest thrush Turdus …
2014
12 pages; International audience; Mobile organisms are expected to show population differentiation only over fairly large geographical distances. However, there is growing evidence of discrepancy between dispersal potential and realized gene flow. Here we report an intriguing pattern of differentiation at a very small spatial scale in the forest thrush (Turdus lherminieri), a bird species endemic to the Lesser Antilles. Analysis of 331 individuals from 17 sampling sites distributed over three islands revealed a clear morphological and genetic differentiation between these islands isolated by 40-50 km. More surprisingly, we found that the phenotypic divergence between the two geographic zone…
Natura e alterita: ancora sull'Aria del Tasso di Giuseppe Tartini:
2014
La passione di Giuseppe Tartini per la musica popolare è attestata da quattro versioni per violino dell’Aria del Tasso. L’Aria rientra nell’ambito di una nuova poetica che ricerca la verità nei canti di natura. Come i musicografi della generazione successiva, il violinista attribuisce alla semplicità un ruolo paradigmatico per separare il concetto di natura dal concetto di artificio. Per cui, il semplice canto di popolo, assieme alla musica greca del periodo classico e alla musica delle «nazioni» non evolute, è più vicino allo stato primigenio, ossia allo stato di natura e quindi alla verità. A questo problema si collegano tre fasi del pensiero del trattatista, in cui il termine natura subi…
Linssit ohjelmoinnissa
2016
Ohjelmoinnissa on usein tilanteita, joissa kaksi toisiinsa yhteyksissä olevaa rakennetta on sidoksissa toisiinsa niin, että muutokset yhteen rakenteeseen heijastuvat asianmukaisesti myös toiseen rakenteeseen. Tässä tutkielmassa käsitellään datamallien välistä transformointia kaksisuuntaisten transformaatioiden näkökulmasta. Tekstissä käydään läpi erityisen tarkasti eräs kaksisuuntainen transformaatio, nimeltään linssit, ja tutkitaan linssien rakenteita ja ominaisuuksia. Linssien yhteydessä käydään läpi alunperin relaatiotietokannoista tullut termi näkymänpäivitysongelma, joka on yleistettävissä datamallien välisiin transformaatioihin. Linssit ovat vielä tällä hetkellä melko harvinaisia ohje…
Correction: Phylogeny of the Eurasian Wren Nannus troglodytes (Aves: Passeriformes: Troglodytidae) reveals deep and complex diversification patterns …
2020
The Mediterranean Basin represents a Global Biodiversity Hotspot where many organisms show high inter- and intraspecific differentiation. Extant phylogeographic patterns of terrestrial circum-Mediterranean faunas were mainly shaped through Pleistocene range shifts and range fragmentations due to retreat into different glacial refugia. Thus, several extant Mediterranean bird species have diversified by surviving glaciations in different hospitable refugia and subsequently expanded their distribution ranges during the Holocene. Such a scenario was also suggested for the Eurasian Wren (Nannus troglodytes) despite the lack of genetic data for most Mediterranean subspecies. Our phylogenetic mult…
Lucian, a new Odysseus? : role and issue of a Homeric character in the work of Lucian of Samosata
2015
The aim of our thesis, which comes within the scope of considering the process of rewriting classic texts in the time period of the second sophistic, is to study the unique importance of Odysseus in the writings of Lucian of Samosata. At first, Odysseus is distinguished from Achilles, a character more monolithic who, even in Homer’s works is constructed in contrast to Odysseus. Moreover, from an isolated quote to intricate references, scattered to create echoes between works seemingly very different, the context in which Odysseus appears is more elaborate and subtler than that of Achilles. Hence, studying and comparing references to both heroes is sufficient to imply Odysseus’ primacy, asso…
Paradigms in the compositional practice of Irish singer-songwriters
2016
The singer-songwriter has emerged as a significant figure in contemporary Irish culture. Ireland’s monumental history in musical practice has cultivated some of the most internationally respected singersongwriters of recent decades. While much research has been devoted to the songs of Irish artists at large, little attention has been allocated to demystifying their songwriting praxis. The present work critically examines the relationship between the Irish singer-songwriter and wider mediated discourses surrounding their artistry. Independent of genre it interrogates the compositional practices of performing songwriters by way of phenomenological study. Specifically, the lived experience of …
The Song of the Crusade against the Albigensians (1st quarter of the 13th century) and the Treaty of Meaux-Paris (1228). Literary mimesis and legal c…

En aquest article analitzem els mecanismes de la construcció del relat (oficial), des de diversos punts de vista, de la Croada contra els albigesos i l’expoli d’Occitània per França en el transcurs d’aqueixa cruel campanya militar (1r terç del segle XIII). Analitzarem dues fonts textuals que són testimonis d’excepció dels fets i de la construcció i la narració d’aqueix relat, a través de la mimesi historiogràfica en un cas, la Cançó de la Croada contra els albigesos, i, en l’altre, del formalisme d’un text jurídic (document històric, pròpiament dit) del més alt rang, el Tractat de Meux-París (1229), signat pels màxims representants de les dues contraparts. I també analitzarem qui es benefic…

Exotic and Primitive Lapland : Othering in The Earth Is a Sinful Song (1973)
2019
This article contributes to postcolonial cultural criticism by analyzing how since the 1920s, Lapland and its residents have been portrayed as exotic Others in Finnish feature films that are set in Lapland. The roots of the othering of Lapland go back to the nationalist aspirations of the Finns. The geographical distance of the northern region has bred mental distance, because of which Lapland has remained a source of exoticism for filmmakers, who almost invariably come from the South. Lapland can be seen as Finland’s spatial and cultural Other, an “internal Other” (Jansson 2003). This article asks what kind of strategies of othering are used in Rauni Mollberg’s film The Earth Is a Sinful S…
Not a footprint to be seen: isolation in the interplay between words, music and image in two Dutch-language dubbed versions of ‘Let it go’
2019
Animated musical films, such as Disney’s Frozen, have long been immensely popular among the globe; however, the investigation of the songs of such films in a dubbing context constitutes a relatively new area of research. This paper compares the theme of isolation in one song from Frozen, ‘Let it go’, in the two Dutch-language dubbed versions released in, respectively, the Netherlands and Belgium. The triangle of aspects, an analytical model for animated musical films, is used to analyse the musical, visual, and verbal codes of ‘Let it go’ and categorise differences between the TTs and the ST. This model combines qualitative and quantitative data to compare different-language versions of son…
