Archiver ailleurs, archiver autrement ? by Stefanie Baumann

“…It was founded by a group of artists who wanted to establish a kind of alternative history of photography—which would counter European and American textbooks on the history of photography, in which photographic representations of the Arab world are often constructed from an orientalist point of view. The structure and operation of this archive centre follow heterogeneous rationales, calling into question not only the concept of archives and their institutional practices, but also that of the photographic image in different contexts, and according to its different properties and connotations.…”

Novel Stability Criteria of Nonlinear Uncertain Systems with Time-Varying Delay by Yali Dong, Shengwei Mei, Xueli Wang

“…The problem of robust exponential stabilization for dynamical nonlinear systems with uncertainties and time-varying delay is considered in the paper. By constructing the proposed Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional approach, continuous state feedback controllers are put forward, and the criteria which guarantee the exponential stabilization of the nonlinear systems with uncertainties and time-varying delay are established in terms of solutions to the standard Riccati differential equations. …”

Fluidités victoriennes by Béatrice Laurent

“…The earth/water polarity seems to be one of the most important in the Victorian imagination for it asserts a gendered duality of the two elements.In 19th century British art, the fluid element is predominantly associated with women as is attested by popular subjects such as bathers, mermaids, naiads and drowned ladies. The culturally-constructed concept of a « natural » femininity defined by its fluidity and absorbency makes women the source at the same time as the container of vital fluids and serves the dominant discourse on gender as it conversely establishes masculine substantiality and impermeableness.This paper aims at examining a corpus of paintings illustrating the feminisation of water, and at suggesting interpretations in the light of contemporary, and sometimes fluctuating, scientific, medical or political discourses.…”
