Les marchés immobiliers : acteurs, institutions et territoires

Par la mise en évidence des acteurs, des processus et des institutions et par conséquent de la diversité ainsi que des contingences des marchés immobiliers, la littérature actuelle sur l'immobilier insiste sur les nombreux liens et interdépendances entre l'immobilier, le foncier, l'urbanisme et les politiques urbaines ou encore avec le système financier. Toutefois, l'essentiel de ces recherches se sont focalisées sur les métropoles négligeant ainsi les autres espaces. L'objectif de cet article est de mieux comprendre le marché immobilier grâce à une démarche de déconstruction, puis de réarticulation. La déconstruction a consisté à identifier différentes logiques de marché en fonction du type d'objet (principalement des immeubles résidentiels), des acteurs et institutions, des contextes territoriaux et des temporalités, sur la base de recherches menées en Suisse. Une métasynthèse a été ensuite élaborée. Elle s'appuie sur les « trois étages » développés dans les travaux de Fernand Braudel (1985) qui rend compte dans ses travaux des activités économiques tant au quotidien que sur la longue durée, tant à l'échelle locale que planétaire.

The real estate markets : Players, institutions and territories

Revealing the parties, the processes and the institutions and, consequently, both the diversity and contingency of the real estate markets, the existing increasing literature emphasises the contemporary numerous links and interdependencies between real estate, land value, planning and town planning policy and even the financial system. This paper is an attempt to understand all the real estate markets, from the most peripheral ones, where the urban rent is the lowest, to the most dense city centres. To gain a better understanding of the real estate market, a process of firstly deconstruction and then reconstruction is used. The process of deconstruction involves identifying various market trends according to property type (principally residential buildings), players and institutions, territorial situations and temporalities based on research conducted in Switzerland. We then developed a meta-synthesis inspired by Fernand Braudel whose works put as much emphasis on day-to-day economic activity as on long-term activity, and on local as well as global issues.

Lettura del canto X dell'«Orlando furioso»

Despite the difficulty of examining isolated cantos in Orlando Furioso and thus separating the text from the overall narrative structure, there are features present in Canto X which would encourage just such an approach. In addition to the borrowings from the Latin tradition to be found in the episode of Olimpia and the allegorical machine at work in the story of Ruggiero and Alcina, the canto evinces a consonance with the courtier spirit which was particularly active in the courts of Northern Italy and which went beyond a mere attention to heraldry and emblems. There is indeed a continuity with the figurative arts flourishing in Ferrara at the time, which saw Mantegna's antiquarian and sculpturesque works triumphed over by Titian's mythological paintings. So too with Ariosto, who after his initial "classicist" phase came to be inspired by Titian's work in a move that openly affirmed the originality and strength of his poetry.
