La volonté politique de commémoration des morts appartient aux vivants by Audrey Rousseau

Le désert des héros : récits de vies solitaires dans les séries américaines de fiction by Joseph Belletante

“…In a post-critic perspective, this article offers a portrait of human “states of mind” that will restitute the spectator his symbolic autonomy, through singular solitudes or the loneliness of a group as is shown by four television series that are no longer in production (Friends, The Sopranos, The West Wing and Ally McBeal) in order to allow a global interpretation and that correspond to the main genres of fiction broadcasted by the American network (comedy, drama, and dramedy).…”

Transverse Momentum, Centrality, and Participant Nucleon Number Dependence of Elliptic Flow by Bao-Chun Li, Yuan-Yuan Fu, Li-Li Wang, Fu-Hu Liu

Voiler et dévoiler : temps et illusion dans Alumbramiento de Víctor Erice by Miguel Rodrigo

“…In a very fertile tension, Erice's cinema integrates this reflexive dimension into stories that do not question the conventions of traditional cinema: the construction of the plot and the characters aims to recreate a "plausible" temporality, a framework more or less comparable to the daily experience that the spectator has of time. Alumbramiento, his latest film, is a particularly relevant example: organically integrated into a very classic narrative scheme, a bold reflection unfolds on the illusory nature of cinematic time while respecting the artifice that makes it possible.…”
