Cet ouvrage s’inscrit dans la continuité des réflexions de l’auteure sur la sémiotique de la perception et la communication du sensible. S’appuyant sur les propositions formulées en phénoménologie, en design sonore et en sémiotique, cette étude se structure en trois axes qui tracent le parcours du sens sonore, de la perception des sons à leur conceptualisation, en passant par leur mise en discours. Les sons étudiés se distinguent des objets musicaux. Il s’agit des sons du quotidien isolés en écoute réduite ou intégrés au sein de paysages sonores naturels ou construits par une activité de design. Objets sensibles parmi les plus invasifs, les sons s’avèrent pourtant les moins familiers pour la culture occidentale. Ils soulèvent de nombreux problèmes communicationnels, essentiellement liés à la pauvreté du lexique ordinaire et à un manque de connaissance du sonore. Communiquer sur les sons, ce n’est pas se référer à ce qui les origine ni aux effets qu’ils produisent sur le sujet mais les décrire pour ce qu’ils sont. Ancré dans la tradition structuraliste, ce travail montre ainsi comment les phénomènes sonores se configurent en structures signifiantes dotées de propriétés à partir desquelles il est possible de proposer de nouvelles pistes de conceptualisation et de catégorisation des phénomènes sonores.
Audrey MOUTAT est maître de conférences en sémiotique et en sciences de l’information et de la communication à l’université de Limoges. Elle mène ses travaux de recherche sur la sémiotique de la perception à laquelle elle a consacré de nombreux articles ainsi que son ouvrage Du sensible à l’intelligible. Pour une sémiotique de la perception (Éditions Lambert-Lucas, 2015). Sa recherche s’étend également aux dispositifs de médiation et de médiatisation du sensible investis dans différents objets tels que les textes, la photographie, les objets de design, le son ou encore le numérique.

Avec Jean-Pierre Bertrand édité par Laurent DEMOULIN, Justine HUPPE, François PROVENZANO et Denis SAINT-AMAND « Je voudrais également terminer en disant qu’il y a certes pour moi dans cette question de l’influence de l’intérêt intellectuel, littéraire, philosophique, vous l’aurez deviné. Mais il y a peut-être aussi de l’intéressement psychologique, affectif, social aussi (comprenne qui pourra) : c’est que l’influence — et la littérature nous l’enseigne au mieux — touche à notre identité, à ce dont nous sommes faits, à ce qui nous constitue au cours d’une existence, à savoir ce mixte et cette pluralité de voix qui parlent en nous, d’images qui nous façonnent, de conduites qui nous construisent, de modèles qui nous habitent. Occasion pour moi de saluer quelques-uns parmi vous ici présents qui ont immanquablement joué ces rôles d’influenceurs, qu’ils soient parents, amis, professeurs, collègues. » C’est par ces mots que, le 7 mars 2019, Jean-Pierre Bertrand terminait sa leçon inaugurale à la Chaire Francqui décernée par l’université de Namur, et consacrée à « L’influence en littérature », le grand chantier de recherche qu’il ouvrait alors. Son décès inopiné, en mars 2022, a laissé ce projet inachevé et nous a plongés dans un état de tristesse et de sidération. Ce volume voudrait rendre hommage à Jean-Pierre Bertrand et poursuivre ses réflexions, en reprenant avec lui les idées et les manières de faire auxquelles il nous a fait tenir. Les contributions ici rassemblées proviennent de collègues et d’ami·es qui l’ont connu, et ont voulu cultiver son influence. Sous forme d’influx, en s’inspirant de ses hypothèses de travail pour les mettre à l’épreuve de nouveaux terrains. Sous forme de reprises, en essayant de prolonger des pistes qu’il a ouvertes. Sous forme d’échos, en renouant les liens humains, toujours vivants, qui rendent son travail si personnel, et si attachant.

par Maaheen Ahmed (ed.)Snoopy and Charlie Brown, Calvin and Hobbes, Tintin and Snowy… comics are home to many memorable child and animal figures. Many cultural productions, especially children’s literature and cartoons, stress the similarities between children and animals, similarities that have their limits and often place the child, as human, above the animal. Still, these fictional situations offer opportunities for thinking of child-animal relationships in diverse ways through, for instance, considering the possibilities of privileged contact between children and animals or of animals that are more knowledgeable and powerful than children and even adults. Despite the prevalence and success of child-animal tandems in comics and culture, we know very little about these relationships. What makes them so popular? How do they work? How much do they vary across time and cultures? What do they tell us about the place of animals and children in comics and in the real world? Strong Bonds: Child-animal Relationships in Comics takes a first, important step in this direction. Bringing together scholars with a diverse range of comics expertise, the volume’s chapters combine contextualized readings of comics with relevant theories for interrogating childhood and animalhood, their overlaps and divergences. The strong bonds between children and animals mapped out here point towards alternative modes of conceptualizing family and identity and, ultimately, alternative means of reading, interpreting and imagining. With chapters on early comics (the Italian children’s magazine Corriere dei Piccoli during WWI, Harold Gray’s Little Orphan Annie) international and regional classics (Tintin, the Flemish Jommeke) and contemporary graphic novels (Bryan Talbot’s A Tale of One Bad Rat, Brecht Even’s Panther), this critical anthology sheds light on a vast array of child-animal relationships in comics from Europe and North America. Maaheen Ahmed is an associate professor of comparative literature at Ghent University. She is author of Openness of Comics (2016) and Monstrous Imaginaries: The Legacy of Romanticism in Comics (2020). She is currently principal investigator of the ERC-funded project COMICS which seeks to piece together an intercultural history of children and comics.

par Ignacio DE LA TORRE & Rafael MORA Abstract
This book envisages an analysis of the lithic collections from several sites Mary Leakey excavated between 1960 and 1963 in Bed I and II at Olduvai (Tanzania), currently stored at the National Museum of Nairobi (Kenya) and previously published in a classic monograph (Leakey 1971). Nonetheless, we have conceived this study from a standpoint that relates more to aspects concerning technical production than to the typological issues that governed Leakey’s approximation. Furthermore, the Olduvai collections will be contemplated from a contextual prism, bearing in mind a constant concern in reconstructing the processes that formed the archaeological record, aiming to understand the differences or similarities that appear between the different assemblages. This monograph focuses on the analysis of lithic materials. We assume blood cannot be squeezed from stones, paraphrasing the title of one of the articles by Isaac (1977b). Yet, we can reconstruct part of the puzzle concerning human evolution by understanding the technological guidelines and technical patterns in use during the transformation processes, which are, in short, telling of the hominids´ behaviour. A meticulous analysis of the lithic objects can provide valuable information to comprehend their technical abilities, cognitive skills and economic concerns. Therefore, each lithic object will be studied analytically, attempting to integrate them in the corresponding stage of the chaîne opératoire. It is essential to keep a distance from the last works that examined the Olduvai sequence (Ludwig 1999; Kimura 1997, 1999, 2002). Therein, artefact categories stand their own ground (in a classically typological conception), and are compared in isolation throughout a chronological sequence. In contrast, we consider that it is essential to analyse each lithic element in connection with others, and each site as a whole, since each assemblage is subjected to specific, exceptional circumstances. Only upon understanding each collection after comparing the different categories it comprises, it is possible to elaborate conclusions that can subsequently be extrapolated and compared to the facts documented in other sites. This work contains constant references to the terms Oldowan and Acheulean. The Oldowan was defined precisely in Olduvai, therefore this location is the perfect setting for the justification of the term. In fact, the term Oldowan has well-defined chronological and cultural connotations, whilst Mode 1 defined by Grahame Clark (1969) has, over recent years, been used without enough precision. The same occurs with the Acheulean, which will predominate herein over the term Mode 2, and which also presents specific technological, chronological and cultural features. One of the key goals this work establishes is precisely to define the attributes that characterise the Oldowan and the Acheulean, and to attempt to understand the technological and cultural connotations this differentiation entails. Therefore it is essential that this dichotomy exists explicitly in our discourse. In the first chapter we will expound some general notions on the historiography of the Olduvai expeditions, the stratigraphy, the radiometric and paleo-ecological framework, the archaeological sequence Leakey defined, and the methodology employed in our re-examination. By doing so, we aim to create a suitable contextual framework in which to develop the technological study. As regards all other matters, the index of this work respects a diachronic structure, starting with the oldest sites in Bed I and moving through the archaeological sequence to the top of Bed II, the chronological limit for our research. After presenting a systematic description of each site in its corresponding chapter, general conclusions that summarise and present a global interpretation of the Olduvai sequence appear at the end of the monograph. Our goal is to combine a systematic study of the lithic reduction methods and chaînes opératoires, with a vaster vision that integrates these technical systems in the general framework of the land-use by hominids. We assume that the manufacturing of any stone tool is the result of a series of technical, economic, social and symbolic options that can be encompassed under the term strategies (Perlès 1992:225). From this general perspective, in this work we will attempt to understand the technological strategies used by the humans that lived in Olduvai during the Lower Pleistocene. (The authors).

Cet ouvrage pluridisciplinaire réunit les contributions de douze chercheurs et chercheuses s’inscrivant dans le champ des études universitaires sur les jeux. Il est centré sur les manières dont différents imaginaires contribuent à la construction de mondes du jeu (vidéo, de rôle, sportif, etc.) et aborde comment les mécanismes temporels participent à la structuration et à l’appropriation d’expériences ludiques. Les douze chapitres de cet ouvrage sont organisés autour de deux axes principaux. Dans une optique principalement narrative, le premier s’intéresse aux contenus des jeux, aux temporalités intradiégétiques ainsi qu’aux spécificités relatives à leurs mises en scène. Quant au second, il se situe dans une perspective davantage ancrée en sciences sociales et s’intéresse aux pratiques ludiques et aux dimensions temporelles qu’elles permettent d’expérimenter. Entièrement dédié aux questions temporelles et à la manière dont elles sont véhiculées par et dans des imaginaires ludiques, ce volume place au coeur de son propos des réflexions qui demeurent encore à la marge des recherches en sciences du jeu.
Rémi CAYATTE est docteur en Sciences de l’information et de la communication, maître de conférences en SIC à l’université Toulouse III. Ses recherches portent sur les notions de communication, d’agentivité et d’expressivité dans les systèmes de jeu et plus largement dans les dispositifs d’interaction.
Laurent DI FILIPPO est docteur en Sciences de l’information et de la communication et en études scandinaves et maître de conférences en SIC à l’université de Lorraine. Ses recherches portent sur la réutilisation des mythes nordiques et de l’imaginaire viking dans les médias contemporains, ainsi que sur les rapports entre jeux et faits religieux.
Audrey TUAILLON DEMÉSY est docteure en sociologie, professeure en STAPS à l’université de Franche-Comté (laboratoire C3S). Ses travaux portent sur les cultures alternatives (sports subculturels, reconstitutions historiques, culture punk) et les imaginaires, notamment du temps, qui les entourent.

Selected papers from the meeting of the Computer Working Group of the International Association of Egyptologists (Informatique & Égyptologie), Liège, 6-8 July 2010 par Stéphane POLIS et Jean WINAND with the collaboration of Todd GILLEN Présentation du volume
This volume represents the outcome of the meeting of the Computer Working Group of the International Association of Egyptologists (Informatique & Égyptologie) held in Liège in 2010 (6-8 July) under the auspices of the Ramses Project. The papers are based on presentations given during this meeting and have been selected in order to cover three main thematic areas of research at the intersection of Egyptology and Information Technology: (1) the construction, management and use of Ancient Egyptian annotated corpora; (2) the problems linked to hieroglyphic encoding; (3) the development of databases in the fields of art history, philology and prosopography. The contributions offer an up-to-date state of the art, discuss the most promising avenues for future research, developments and implementation, and suggest solutions to longstanding issues in the field.
Two general trends characterize the projects laid out here: the desire for online accessibility made available to the widest possible audience; and the search for standardization and interoperability. The efforts in these directions are admittedly of paramount importance for the future of Egyptological research in general. Indeed, for the present and increasingly for the future, one cannot overemphasize the (empirical and methodological) impact of a generalized access to structured data of the highest possible quality that can be browsed and exchanged without loss of information.

Studies in the cultic honours for Hellenistic leaders and benefactors mainly focus on the ideological and diplomatic features of the phenomenon. Conversely, the papers collected in this volume aim to shift the focus to its material and practical aspects: media, ritual action and space, agency, administration and funding. Specialists in Hellenistic history, epigraphy, papyrology, numismatics, and archaeology provide fresh reassessments of a variety of documentary dossiers concerning both institutional and non-institutional agents (cities, kingdoms; individuals, associations), Greek and non-Greek, across the Hellenistic Eastern Mediterranean world. Moreover, this interdisciplinary investigation of the materiality of rituals addressed to human benefactors as to, or together with, traditional gods allows us to go beyond a commonly accepted yet methodologically arbitrary separation between cultic honours for deities and for human beings. The latter are often still considered as an isolated and paradoxical feature of ancient Greek polytheism, and as a deviation from ‘traditional’ religion, i.e., the cults for gods and heroes as they were already practised in the archaic and classical polis. Rather, the case studies dealt with in this book contribute to shedding new light on the way ancient people could exploit the ritual and administrative toolkit of their religious system in order to satisfy new needs. In other words, one may state that cultic honours for political leaders do not provide an exception to the way Greek polytheism functioned, but are fully embedded within it, and substantially contributed to its development in the Hellenistic age.

Studies in the Epicletic Language of Hellenistic Honours Stefano G. CANEVA
This book focuses on the contribution of epithets and compound denominations to the definition of the religious figure of sovereigns and other political leaders in the Hellenistic world, from Philip II and Alexander III to Kleopatra VII and the beginning of the Roman Principate.
Questions and methodologies related to the political history of the Hellenistic Mediterranean are combined with the results of recent studies in the functioning of the Greek epicletic system to provide a fresh reassessment of the entanglement between honorific practices and the religious life of Hellenistic communities, from continental Greece to Egypt, from Syracuse to Bactria. Reconsidering the relationships between honours and religion also implies reversing the question of the influence of Greek religion on Hellenistic ruler cults to explore how a new tradition of ritual encounters between human power and the divine sphere may have impacted post-classical developments in Greek polytheism.
