Greek Topoi in the Lyrics of Branko Milkovic and Ivan Lalic, or on the Mediterranean Poetics of Svetlozar Igov by Lyudmila Mindova

“…The analysis of source and translated texts lead to the conclusion that, especially with Milkovic and Lalic, Greek topoi appear not only in spatial and historical meanings, but also in vivid symbolism, which turns Hellas and the Mediterranean into metaphors of poetry and the literary world in general. …”

De la « rurbanisation » du héros américain : The Rise of Silas Lapham by Guillaume TANGUY

“…Insofar as Silas returns to Vermont in order to exploit nature on an industrial (if more modest) scale, his decision is linked to a process of “rurbanization” – an attempt to tame the landscape – which appears as the exact fulfilment of the prophetic vision articulated by Charles Wilson Peale in The Exhumation of the Mastodon (1806). Specifically, the symbolic potential of two key episodes – the discovery of the paint mine and the digging of the foundations of Silas’s house on Beacon Street – is indicative of this civilizing paradigm. …”

La Politique du malaise dans les photomontages de Barbara Kruger by Éliane ELMALEH

“…Challenging the traditional notions of feminine and masculine, her works question the implications of a consumer society in which individuals identify with a symbolic universe and ideological norms. This article analyzes the reasons why Kruger’s works often induce psychological discomfort: it shows how the artist undermines the passivity engendered by the imposition of stereotypes and the way she blocks the fascination produced by images by introducing texts which contradict them. …”

Représentations de la forêt et répercussions sur la gestion des ressources forestières au Sénégal by Mamadou Diop, Bienvenu Sambou, Boubacar Ly

La représentation des paysages d’exil dans les arts visuels contemporains : l’exemple du film Parmi nous de Clément Cogitore by Ann Epoudry

“…Supporting this analysis with Clément Cogitore’s short fiction film Parmi nous (2011), which narrates the attempts of illegal migrants in exile to cross a border zone, we seek to understand how the constructed landscapes of the sets in the film reveal a symbolic and stereotyped landscape and how the relationship between the characters and the landscape, which the artist shows in this work, seems to reinvent the places travelled through and offer a new form of participation within the landscape.…”

Mobile direct-sequence spread-spectrum underwater acoustic communication based on improved differential energy detector by Peng-yu DU, Long-xiang GUO, Jing-wei YIN, Gang QIAO

“…A Doppler estimation method based on the structural features of spread spectrum signal was proposed,which could achieve real-time Doppler estimation for received spread spectrum signals by energy detecting the result of matching correlation calculation of adjacent received spreading symbols.In addition,this method made full use of the spread spectrum processing gain and could do Doppler estimation under low SNR condition.Improved differential energy detector was further proposed,which can effectively deal with the rapid carrier phase fluctuation interference caused by Doppler effect and time-varying multi-path interference by detecting the output energy of two correlators.Simulation verified the robustness of improved differential energy detector algorithm and the Doppler estimation method based on spread spectrum signal.At-sea data shows that improved differential energy detector combined with the proposed Doppler estimation method can achieve low bit error rate communication for direct-sequence spread spectrum underwater acoustic communication with large time-varying Doppler interference when SNR is −10 dB.…”

Comment faire Peuple ? Le cas des protestations publiques au Maghreb by Smaïn Laarcher, Cédric Terzi

“…Their use is primarily part of restraining national frameworks that give them form, consistency and symbolic meaning. While there is a link between cyberactivist militancy and popular protests in the three Maghreb countries, it is no less true that the connection between these worlds of organized protests unfolds differently depending on their national histories, balance of powers and extent of claims. …”

ORGANIC FOOD POSITIONING: HOW DO COMPANIES WANT THEIR BRAND TO BE PERCEIVED BY CONSUMERS? by Mihai STOICA

“…The results of the research showed the focus of the companies on highlighting the attributes related to the product characteristics and the personal green benefits, at the expense of environmental, emotional, and symbolic benefits. Positioning bases related to consumption occasions, brand values, and association with fictional characters or celebrities play a secondary role in supporting the brand position. …”

Energy Modernisation and Regional Reorganisation of the Southern Andes: The Unexpected Materialities of the Southern Peruvian Gas Pipeline by Nina Montes de Oca, Sébastien Velut

“…From an interpretive framework articulating notions of development imaginaries with a critical approach of the materiality of energy modernisation, this article builds its analysis drawing from a variety of sources that combine field work and the vast number of documents published on the project in order to map energy change in this region, and the values associated to it. While the symbolic object of the Southern Peruvian Gas Pipeline is presented in discourses as the triumphant advent of energy modernisation in which the State is the central actor, it has given rise to fragmented energy materialities, and a distorted energy change, moving away from its primary social goal.…”

Impurity, Moral Substantiality, and Social Control: A Gender Perspective by Alice Van den Bogaert

“…I propose this concept to designate an ontology in which everything is a substance (bodily fluids and food, but also glances, words, and thoughts) and at the same time a moral value, without distinguishing between materiality and symbolism, a proposal inspired by McKim Marriott’s substance-codes (1976). …”
