Le patrimoine urbain en Asie centrale  by Guillemette Pincent

As Ordens Militares em combate nos finais da Idade Média: o caso da Guerra da Sucessão de Castela (1475-1479) by António Carlos Martins Costa

“…Taking in account the War of Succession of Castile 1475-1479, we seek to understand - based on portuguese, castilian and aragonese sources – the (active) role assumed by the Military Orders on the preparations and on the operations of the campaign led by Afonso V at the neighboring kingdom, with a high point in the Battle of Toro (1476), as well as the defense of the portuguese frontier; and the actions on the Castile of the Catholic Kings, characterized by volatility positions and internal conflict, these militias staged, as we shall see, various military actions, revealing determinants in the evolution of strife.…”

Staying Optimistic: The Trials and Tribulations of Leibnizian Optimism by Lloyd Strickland

“…In this paper we shall examine the reception of Leibniz’s doctrine of the best world in the eighteenth century in order to get a clearer understanding of what its fate really was. As we shall see, while Leibniz’s doctrine did win a good number of adherents in the 1720s and 1730s, especially in Germany, support for it had largely dried up by the mid-1740s; moreover, while opponents of Leibniz’s doctrine were few and far between in the 1710s and 1720s, they became increasing vocal in the 1730s and afterwards, between them producing an array of objections that served to make Leibnizian optimism both philosophically and theologically toxic years before the Lisbon earthquake struck.…”

Ritual objects for the feast of sukkot: Theoretical analysis of the Talmudic prescriptions and some of their ethnographical achievements in the Balkans by Vartejanu-Joubert Madalina

“…This article aims to support this reflection by studying two ritual objects related to the festival of Sukkot: the skhakh, the roof of the sukka hut, and the lulav, the bouquet of the four species. As we shall see, the making of the ritual object according to specific rules shows us its place in the encounter with the supernatural, the goal towards which any ritual device aspires. …”

La Sacralisation littéraire et picturale de la montagne au XIXe siècle : (re)naissances et épiphanies by Françoise Dupeyron-Lafay

“…Mountains, that had been objects of indifference, fear, or even terror and loathing until the mid-18th century, became literary and pictorial subjects in their own right from the Romantic period onwards, especially in the wake of Rousseau’s La Nouvelle Héloïse (1761)—that radically changed the approach to nature—, and the first ascents of Mont Blanc in the 1780s that marked the beginning of Alpine tourism, and turned Chamonix (and later the Swiss Alps) into indispensable features of the "Grand Tour". We shall see the various—and sometimes complementary and converging—approaches to mountains from the late 18th century on: those emphasizing their pristine, Edenic nature; those extolling their power, sublimity and elemental violence, Turner’s paintings being emblematic in this respect : and those bringing out their divine essence, their sacred and holy quality. …”

SCOP qui peut ! by Maxime Quijoux

“…It was joined by the CGT, which was looking for a response to the increasing number of company bankruptcies. Finally, we shall see how this all-out appropriation of cooperation gave rise to a multitude of tensions and disillusionment, leading to the rapid marginalisation of a workers' conception of self-management. …”

Renormalized Phonon Microstructures at High Temperatures from First-Principles Calculations: Methodologies and Applications in Studying Strong Anharmonic Vibrations of Solids by Tian Lan, Zhaoyan Zhu

“…To date the anharmonic lattice dynamics is poorly understood despite its great importance, and most studies still rely on the quasiharmonic approximations. We shall see that the phonon-phonon interactions give rise to interesting coupling problems and essentially modify the equilibrium and nonequilibrium properties of materials, for example, thermal expansion, thermodynamic stability, heat capacity, optical properties, thermal transport, and other nonlinear properties of materials. …”

Le national à distance. Circulation de normes et réécriture du politique de la Tunisie by Stéphanie Pouessel

“…The experience of such agents mediating between the shores of experience, and their political acculturation in the conception and practice of politics will have a distinct effect on constitutional processes. As we shall see, the experience of these representatives can have an inhibiting effect on the participation of local Tunisians: ascribed to their foreignness, the linguistic dissonance experienced with the newly “repatriated” clearly illustrates this tension. …”

Archéologie d’un jardin de sculptures du xxe siècle by Aline Gheysens

“…If it matters so much to create such a modus operandi, between arts and sciences, it is because this garden asks questions to which we can answer only through these multiple approaches : first of all we shall understand the underlying logic of the organisation of this space – which does not results from a preliminary plan but was built little by little, organically. Then, we shall see what sorts of relationships may have occurred, for the creator of this garden – who was also an author – between the takeover of this place and a daily practise of writing, on the basis that what is expressed in a novel, no space could show it, while what tends to be stated by a garden would fail in any literary attempt. …”

20 ans d’Observatoire photographique des paysages dans le Parc naturel régional des Vosges du Nord by Romy Baghdadi

“…As a potential co-production partner in the development of projects, the Observatory should make better use of the shared maturity acquired through a retrospective view to contribute to the development of the region through its landscape. We shall see how the Vosges du Nord Regional Nature Park attempts to use these photographs to encourage the systematic use of images of the landscape in development projects. …”
