Du texte des Actes des ap tres la translation de ses reliques Rome en 589, cette enqu te tente de saisir les m canismes conduisant la construction d' tienne comme un saint dont le culte fut central dans l'histoire du christianisme. Une attention particuli re a t accord e l' tude des diverses formes que son culte a rev tues apr s la d couverte de ses reliques, en Palestine au ve si cle, et de sa rapide diffusion en M diterran e orientale et occidentale. cette fin, l'ensemble des pi ces du dossier hagiographique d' tienne ont t scrut es la lumi re des recherches les plus r centes sur le culte des saints, l'hagiographie et l'histoire de la Palestine dans l'Antiquit tardive. Au terme de cette tude, nous esp rons surtout exposer les motivations id ologiques de l'usage des reliques du saint dans un contexte o s'entrecroisent controverses doctrinales, topographie sacr e, antijuda sme et construction de la m moire chr tienne.

Met bijdragen van Jerome Bel, Romeo Castellucci, Andre Lepecki, Chantal Mouffe, Gerald Siegmund & Isabelle Stengers. Met de twintigste editie van het Kunstenfestivaldesarts als startpunt benadert dit boek enkele invalshoeken die van cruciaal belang zullen zijn voor het geheugen van de podiumkunsten. The Time We Share wordt samengesteld uit belangrijke vragen die gedurende twee decennia werden opgeworpen op het Kunstenfestivaldesarts en vele andere scenes en die tot vandaag relevant zijn. Elk hoofdstuk brengt artistieke projecten van verschillende festivaledities bijeen, maakt nieuwe constellaties en licht er specifieke vraagstellingen uit. Sommige onderwerpen hadden de voorbije twee jaar een belangrijke plaats in het maatschappelijk discours, andere treden voor het eerst uit de schaduw van het dominante discours. Elke vraag wordt toegelicht door tegengestelde elementen: tekstbijdragen van kunstenaars, schetsen en foto's, beschrijvingen of handgeschreven sporen van markante projecten of momenten, nieuwe artikels van vooraanstaande denkers uit de wereld van filosofie en sociologie, enz. The Time We Share wil de band tussen de podiumkunsten en de samenleving zichtbaar maken. Het wil focussen op de manier waarop sommige kunstwerken een belangrijke rol hebben gespeeld in het maatschappelijk discours. Meer nog dan een instrument wil het een naslagwerk zijn waar het verleden zich opent naar de toekomst, een uitnodiging om na te denken over de podiumkunsten en de manier waarop die onze maatschappij binnensijpelen. The Time We Share wil over en door de podiumkunsten reflecteren over de tijd die wij delen.

The body or relics of a saint could attract divine protection on the community and the place where they were kept. If, in some cases, the monasteries were structures of assistance to sanctuaries of certain notoriety, starting from the 7th century, they increasingly played the role of protagonists, autonomously managing the devotional activities derived from the acquisition or translation of relics. The need to preserve the isolation of the 'clausura' and to manage, at the same time, an increasing flow of pilgrims led these monasteries to build new spaces for prayer, communion and assistance. This book includes the Proceedings of the International Conference held in Naples (Italy) on November 28-29, 2022. The Conference - organized, as part of a Marie-Curie research project, by the Fondazione San Bonaventura with the contribution of the Italian Ministry of Culture - brought together historians, archaeologists, and art historians to discuss the theme of spatial articulation of monasteries chosen as places of pilgrimage during the Early Middle Ages in Western Europe. From this interdisciplinary discussion, exciting insights have emerged on aspects of particular relevance, such as the organization of the funerary space and interaction between monks and laypeople, the elements of balance or clash between 'clausura' and hospitality and the comparison between male and female monasteries as devotional centers.

First Latin edition (The French original from 1690 Voyage du Monde de Descartes) of this imaginary travel to find Descartes on the moon and in the upper spheres. The work is one of the most importent anti-Cartesian polemics of the 1690's and it attacs the whole of Descartes system in a satirical way.""It aimes principally at the sharp Cartesian distinction between body and soul, related in a satirical fashion the voyage of the disembodied souls of the narrator, of Mersanne, and of another old friend of Descartes in the upper spheres. On their way to visit Descartes in the third heaven, they meet the souls of Aristotle and the disciples of descartes (clearly refelcting here the philosophical opinions of Gabriel Daniel himself). One of the articles of that treaty stipulates that the Cartesians will refer to Aristotle with more respect, whereas the Aristotelians will refrain from calling Descartes ""Enthusiast"", ""Madman"", ""Heretick"" or ""Atheist"" - all of these evidently labels commonly used by the opponents of Descartes at that time."" (Michael Heyd in ""Be Sober and Reasonable""). The work was published anonymous and earlier sometimes attributed to Daniel Defoe. -

From Publishers Weekly In Boorstin's 1983 bestseller The Discoverers , the achievements of Galileo, Columbus, Darwin, Gutenberg and Freud emerged as upwellings of creativity and courage, ingenious acts of revolt against ingrained habit. This richly illustrated two-volume edition reveals the world as known to the discovers themselves. We see the tools of discovery--Egyptian obelisks, early clocks, Leeuwenhoek's microscope, Mercator's maps, botanical drawings from James Cook's voyages--and glimpse the social, cultural and political background, made concrete in 550 pictures including paintings, sculpture, engravings and architecture. A photograph of 15th-century cast bronze type from Korea underscores an Eastern invention that could have changed the course of printing, perhaps of science and culture. In a feast for the mind and eye, itself a delightful adventure in discovery, Boorstin, librarian of Congress emeritus, profiles--and places in context--scores of innovators who broke with dogma and tradition.

First appearance of Daniell's second paper on the construction of the famous ""Daniell-Cell"". In 1836 (in a paper in the Transactions, also addressed to Faraday with the title ""On Voltaic Combinations""), he announced his invention of the battery. In his second paper, the paper offered here, he further develops his invention. In the new invention by Charles Wheatstone of the electric telegraph in 1837, the Daniell cell was used as the electric source.In 1831 Daniell was appointed proffesor of Chemistry at King's College London. He invented several scientific instruments, including a hygrometer for measuring humidity he is best known for his work in electrochemistry, his interests having been aroused by the work of his good friend faraday. Volta's battery had the defect of rapid diminution in current. What was needed, however, was a battery yielding a constant current over a considerable lenght of time. In 1836 Daniell succeeded, producing the Daniell cell, of copper and zinc. his was the first reliable source of electric current.
