Les Très Riches Heures et les Heures Bedford

The article presents new stylistic material in support of the discovery (in 2005) that the Bedford Hours were designed in the years 1414-1415, at the same time as the Très Riches Heures du duc de Berry. The Bedford Hours would appear to have been made for the dauphin, Louis de Guyenne, in light of the occurrence of several of his emblems under the principle miniatures, as well as the calendar programme, which is inspired by Ovid’s Fasti. The identification of the heraldry in the miniature of the history of the fl eur de lis (f. 288v) by Michel Pastoureau demonstrates that the miniature also represents the coronation of Henry V in 1429 in the presence of Philippe le Bon, Anne de Bourgogne and John de Mowbray, duke of Norfolk and earl marshall.

El gest nostre de cada dia. La gestualitat emblemàtica com a patrimoni de la cultura popular

El libro de Lluís Payrató, El gest nostre de cada dia, es un estudio escrito en catalán de los gestos de la categoría de emblemas de la cultura catalana. Los emblemas constituyen un recurso comunicativo autónomo de la palabra, en el sentido de que expresan un mensaje que equivale a una palabra o expresión. El autor incorpora a la investigación el repertorio gestual que elaboró Joan Amades en 1957. La tesis central de la obra es la naturaleza cultural y contextual de los emblemas, de modo que pueden tener un significado mundial en algunos casos y un significado local en otros. La contribución del ensayo es una descripción de los gestos según su función comunicativa y la confección de un repertorio de 108 emblemas catalanes. El gest nostre de cada dia [Our daily gesture] is a study written by Lluís Payrató in Catalan about the Catalan culture. It deals with a type of gestures called emblems. The emblems are gestures that correspond to a word or expression. The author analyzes the gestural repertoire that developed in 1957 Joan Amades. The central thesis of the work is the cultural and contextual nature of the emblems, so that may have global significance in some cases and in other local significance. The contribution of the paper is a description of gestures by communicative function and the production of a repertoire of 108 Catalan emblems.

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.

Características agrometeorológicas da cultura de soja (Glycine max (L.) Merrill) variedade Candeias em Paragominas – PA

O Município de Paragominas pertence à Mesorregião Sudeste Paraense (03° 00' 00” S e 47° 21' 30" W) onde há toda uma área já alterada por desmatamentos e pastagens apenas à espera de ser incorporada ao processo produtivo agrícola..A cultura da soja tem importância significativa para a economia nacional, sendo um dos principais produtos agrícolas de exportação e geração de divisas,, pertencente à família das leguminosas, se adapta em uma ampla faixa de climas, podendo ser cultivada em todos os tipos de solo. O objetivo deste estudo é avaliar as condições agrometeorológicas durante o ciclo vegetativo da soja em Paragominas - PA. Nesta área foi construída uma torre meteorológica automática de 4 metros de altura, sendo a fazenda Boi branco localizada a 03°02´15´´S e 47°17´56´´W e instalada uma estação com medidas a cada (5) cinco minutos das seguintes variáveis: temperatura do ar (Tar), umidade específica do ar (q), temperatura do solo (Tsolo), umidade do solo (Usolo), velocidade do vento (W), direção do vento (D), radiação solar incidente (Sin), radiação solar refletida (Sout), saldo de radiação (Rn) e fluxo de calor no solo (G) e precipitação. Variações microclimáticas têm efeitos bastante diretos no desenvolvimento da planta. As coletas realizadas entre fevereiro a início de junho de 2006 mostram que os dias 84, 98 e 126 foram os dias de maior precipitação e os dias 70 e 154 e 161 não houve chuva. De acordo com o desenvolvimento do plantio observamos que nos meses de fevereiro a início de abril a umidade específica máxima do ar se manteve elevada 21,0 g/Kg. A jornada da temperatura do ar máxima se manteve entre 23,5 ºC e 32,5 ºC acompanhando o desenvolvimento da cultura. A temperatura média do solo em três medidas (5, 10 e 20 cm), observou-se que as temperaturas estão entre 25 ºC a 35 ºC. No início do plantio a velocidade do vento estava por volta de 3 m/s decrescendo, e no final do cultivo encontrava-se 2,5 m/s. No período de floração a velocidade se manteve estável o que contribui para a dispersão de pólen e sementes. O vento vem de todas as direções, entretanto, o vento é predominante de nordeste. Quando o solo ainda se encontra completamente nu, o albedo é elevado, pois a radiação que entra no sistema é a mesma que sai. Quando o plantio começa a se desenvolver o albedo tende a diminuir, pois a quantidade de radiação solar que chega ao sistema parte é refletida e outra absorvida pela superfície. A umidade média do solo em três medidas (10, 20 e 30 cm), onde observamos que a umidade está entre 0,2 m⁄m³ a 0,45 m⁄m³. O fluxo de calor no solo a 10 cm apresentou picos em torno de -135 W/m2 e 55 W/m2 (7 as 18 h) e a 20 cm apresentou picos em torno de -25 W/m2 e 45 W/m2 (7 as 18 h). O sinal positivo representa transferência de calor do ar para o solo e o fluxo foi da superfície para as camadas mais internas do solo. Quando analisamos a evapotranspiração estimada notamos que foi inferior do que a evapotranspiração medida, sendo o pico da evapotranspiração estimada 4,0 mm⁄dia e a evapotranspiração medida 8,8 mm⁄dia. Quando analisamos a regressão linear a evapotranspiração estimada foi inferior a evapotranspiração medida.

A Comparative Study of Two Semantic Systems: Body Russian and Russian Phraseology

Grigorij Kreidlin (Russia). A Comparative Study of Two Semantic Systems: Body Russian and Russian Phraseology. Mr. Kreidlin teaches in the Department of Theoretical and Applied Linguistics of the State University of Humanities in Moscow and worked on this project from August 1996 to July 1998. The classical approach to non-verbal and verbal oral communication is based on a traditional separation of body and mind. Linguists studied words and phrasemes, the products of mind activities, while gestures, facial expressions, postures and other forms of body language were left to anthropologists, psychologists, physiologists, and indeed to anyone but linguists. Only recently have linguists begun to turn their attention to gestures and semiotic and cognitive paradigms are now appearing that raise the question of designing an integral model for the unified description of non-verbal and verbal communicative behaviour. This project attempted to elaborate lexical and semantic fragments of such a model, producing a co-ordinated semantic description of the main Russian gestures (including gestures proper, postures and facial expressions) and their natural language analogues. The concept of emblematic gestures and gestural phrasemes and of their semantic links permitted an appropriate description of the transformation of a body as a purely physical substance into a body as a carrier of essential attributes of Russian culture - the semiotic process called the culturalisation of the human body. Here the human body embodies a system of cultural values and displays them in a text within the area of phraseology and some other important language domains. The goal of this research was to develop a theory that would account for the fundamental peculiarities of the process. The model proposed is based on the unified lexicographic representation of verbal and non-verbal units in the Dictionary of Russian Gestures, which the Mr. Kreidlin had earlier complied in collaboration with a group of his students. The Dictionary was originally oriented only towards reflecting how the lexical competence of Russian body language is represented in the Russian mind. Now a special type of phraseological zone has been designed to reflect explicitly semantic relationships between the gestures in the entries and phrasemes and to provide the necessary information for a detailed description of these. All the definitions, rules of usage and the established correlations are written in a semantic meta-language. Several classes of Russian gestural phrasemes were identified, including those phrasemes and idioms with semantic definitions close to those of the corresponding gestures, those phraseological units that have lost touch with the related gestures (although etymologically they are derived from gestures that have gone out of use), and phrasemes and idioms which have semantic traces or reflexes inherited from the meaning of the related gestures. The basic assumptions and practical considerations underlying the work were as follows. (1) To compare meanings one has to be able to state them. To state the meaning of a gesture or a phraseological expression, one needs a formal semantic meta-language of propositional character that represents the cognitive and mental aspects of the codes. (2) The semantic contrastive analysis of any semiotic codes used in person-to-person communication also requires a single semantic meta-language, i.e. a formal semantic language of description,. This language must be as linguistically and culturally independent as possible and yet must be open to interpretation through any culture and code. Another possible method of conducting comparative verbal-non-verbal semantic research is to work with different semantic meta-languages and semantic nets and to learn how to combine them, translate from one to another, etc. in order to reach a common basis for the subsequent comparison of units. (3) The practical work in defining phraseological units and organising the phraseological zone in the Dictionary of Russian Gestures unexpectedly showed that semantic links between gestures and gestural phrasemes are reflected not only in common semantic elements and syntactic structure of semantic propositions, but also in general and partial cognitive operations that are made over semantic definitions. (4) In comparative semantic analysis one should take into account different values and roles of inner form and image components in the semantic representation of non-verbal and verbal units. (5) For the most part, gestural phrasemes are direct semantic derivatives of gestures. The cognitive and formal techniques can be regarded as typological features for the future functional-semantic classification of gestural phrasemes: two phrasemes whose meaning can be obtained by the same cognitive or purely syntactic operations (or types of operations) over the meanings of the corresponding gestures, belong by definition to one and the same class. The nature of many cognitive operations has not been studied well so far, but the first steps towards its comprehension and description have been taken. The research identified 25 logically possible classes of relationships between a gesture and a gestural phraseme. The calculation is based on theoretically possible formal (set-theory) correlations between signifiers and signified of the non-verbal and verbal units. However, in order to examine which of them are realised in practice a complete semantic and lexicographic description of all (not only central) everyday emblems and gestural phrasemes is required and this unfortunately does not yet exist. Mr. Kreidlin suggests that the results of the comparative analysis of verbal and non-verbal units could also be used in other research areas such as the lexicography of emotions.

Sobre la evolución de las letras caballerescas en los siglos XVI y XVII

En esta revisión de documentos de los siglos xvi y xvii, que contienen letras caballerescas, proponemos algunas líneas de evolución y desarrollo de esta literatura emblemática desde su recolección y edición en cancioneros de principios del siglo xv, hasta su puesta en escena en elaborados torneos de invención de los siglos xvi y xvii. No pretendemos plantear una hipótesis cerrada e irrefutable, sino apenas abrir caminos de lectura e interpretación de esta particular lyra minima utilizada en la representación de lo caballeresco, que aún está por compilarse y estudiarse

Paralenguaje de los ojos en Esquilo

La mirada -acto de ver- tiene, de acuerdo con investigaciones contemporáneas, tres diferentes funciones: informa, toca y habla. Este estudio analiza la función lingüística de la mirada -cómo los ojos hablan- en la obra de Esquilo, siguiendo recientes estudios sobre el lenguaje corporal y la gestualidad -Mc Neill, Davis, Pease, Fast- en los cuales los ojos tienen un papel central. Este estudio demuestra que los ojos hablan, adulan y delatan en Esquilo. El trabajo presenta y analiza en su obra literaria diferentes tipos de expresión visual: emblemas, ilustradores, reguladores, adaptadores. Finalmente se detiene en los mensajes de cejas, párpados y lágrimas. La lengua griega y el genio de Esquilo ofrecen numerosos ejemplos ricos y valiosos del paralenguaje de los ojos.

Arquitectura Petite: Charlotte Perriand & Kazuyo Sejima. Una historia transnacional

La tesis revela paralelismos y conexiones entre las arquitectas/diseñadoras Charlotte Perriand (1903-1999) y Kazuyo Sejima (n. 1956), reflejados en una serie de proyectos de pequeña escala que denomino arquitectura petite—mobiliario tecnológico habitable—, resultado de momentos semejantes de cambio social, cultural, económico, industrial y transnacional en Francia en la década de 1920 y en Japón en la década de 1980. Este trabajo dirige su atención a la arquitectura doméstica concebida desde el interior por arquitectos con una formación complementaria en diseño de mobiliario. A su vez, profundiza en la relación que se establece entre el diseño de una casa y el diseño de un mueble, una máquina o un vestido. Los pequeños proyectos, próximos al mobiliario, diseñados por Sejima, no han sido suficientemente estudiados, al igual que los proyectos de arquitectura experimental proyectados por Perriand. Ambas trayectorias analizadas desde estos renovados puntos de vista se encuentran en lo que denominamos arquitectura petite. Surge así un nuevo paradigma espacial en un contexto de poder de lo femenino—en los medios de comunicación—y de intercambio cultural transnacional. Cuando el mobiliario crece y se equipa tecnológicamente para hacerse habitable por un grupo de personas, con cualidades suficientes de confort sensorial, es arquitectura petite. En 2009, Toyo Ito mostró en una conferencia en Madrid, una imagen de Sejima posando en su proyecto Pao I. Justo ochenta años antes, en 1929, Le Corbusier presentó en Buenos Aires la imagen de Perriand posando para su Chaise Longue. La coincidencia de ambas fotografías, junto con la lectura de dos inspiradores artículos de Toyo Ito, “Adèle’s dream” (1984)—cuyo enigmático título utiliza un nombre francés femenino para describir una casa japonesa—y “Simple lines for Le Corbusier” (1994), dieron origen a la hipótesis central de una investigación: la comparación de dos arquitectas, sus maestros y dos objetos pertenecientes a dos momentos y lugares distantes. Perriand y Sejima fueron emblemas del concepto de Nueva Feminidad, ambas tenían éxito en la prensa generalista del momento antes de ser contratadas por Le Corbusier y Toyo Ito respectivamente. Junto a sus maestros de entonces, concibieron dos iconos de la era de la maquina y de la electrónica respectivamente, la Chaise Longue (1928) y Pao I (1985), diseñados para ellas mismas. Perriand y Sejima usaron su propio cuerpo como unidad de medida y su imagen como reclamo publicitario para la promoción de los dos objetos respectivamente. La precisión técnica, materiales de lujo y enfoque de la relajación que compartieron la Chaise Longue y Pao I sugirió un nomadismo lúdico que anticipó el desarrollo posterior de lo que denominamos de arquitectura petite por parte de Perriand y Sejima. Ambos prototipos son los antecedentes de una arquitectura de talla precisa o petite (objetos híbridos entre casa, mueble y máquina con la sensualidad como característica distintiva) que ambas arquitectas han proyectado a lo largo de su carrera, y que aúnan su interés mutuo por las propiedades físicas de los materiales, así como su formación en diseño de mobiliario y su fascinación por la moda. La tesis concluye que la arquitectura petite es la depositaria de los manifiestos de una época, la que sigue a la era de la máquina enunciada por Le Corbusier y a la era de la electrónica descrita por Toyo Ito. En este sentido, la tesis evidencia la forma en la que importantes arquitectos han concentrado ideas ambiciosas en pequeños proyectos. Las características de petite se resumen en el hecho de ser una arquitectura de límites precisos, desmontable y por tanto temporal, que explora el potencial técnico y formal de nuevos materiales importados de otras industrias, incorpora condiciones sensuales propias de su escala antropométrica, y está destinada al ocio de un grupo de personas. A modo de colofón, la tesis descubre la existencia de una historia de ficción que vincula a Charlotte Perriand y Kazuyo Sejima a través de Toyo Ito: “El diario de Adèle”. ABSTRACT This dissertation reveals parallels between the architects/designers Charlotte Perriand (1903- 1999) and Kazuyo Sejima (b. 1956), reflected in a series of small projects I call petite architecture—habitable technological furniture—, which formed during similar periods of social, cultural, economic, industrial and transnational change in France in the 1920s and in Japan in the 1980s. This research focuses on domestic architecture conceived from the inside by architects with additional training in furniture design. At the same time, it explores the relationships established between the design of a house, a piece of furniture, a machine, or a dress. Small architectural projects, close to the furniture, designed by Sejima have not been sufficiently studied, as well as the experimental architectural projects designed by Perriand. Both of their experimental trajectories analyzed from this renovated point of view converge on what we call petite architecture. Thus, it raises a new spatial paradigm in the context of feminine power within the media, as direct consumers, and transnational cultural exchange. When furniture expands and is technologically equipped to the point where it becomes habitable by a group, or groups of people, providing its occupants with sensorial comfort, it is petite architecture. In 2009, at a conference in Madrid, Ito showed a picture of Sejima posing at his Pao I (1985). Just eighty years earlier, in 1929, Le Corbusier exhibited in a conference in Buenos Aires an image of Perriand posing for his Chaise Longue (1928). The coincidence of the two photographs, along with two inspiring articles by Toyo Ito "Adèle's dream" (1984) — whose enigmatic title uses a French female name to describe a Japanese house — and "Simple lines for Le Corbusier" (1994) led to a hypothesis and an investigation comparing the two architects, their mentors, and two objects, each belonging to two distant times and places. Perriand and Sejima were emblems of the concept of New Femininity, both had success in the media of their time before being hired by Le Corbusier and Toyo Ito respectively. Together with their mentors they designed two objects that became icons of the Machine Age and the Electronic Age respectively: the Chaise Longue (1928) and Pao I (1985). Designed "for themselves," Perriand and Sejima used their own bodies as a measuring unit and their image as a publicity stunt to promote the two objects respectively. Both objects are the embryonic capsules of the architecture that pampers the scale or petite (objects that conflate residence, machine and furniture, and have sensuality as a distinctive feature). From the technical precision, luxurious materials, and approach towards relaxation, emerged a playful nomadism, which anticipated the further development of what we call petite architecture. Perriand and Sejima would develop these ideas throughout their career, pooling their interests on the physical properties of materials, formation in furniture design, and their intense interest in fashion. The dissertation concludes that petite architecture is the manifestation of an age, which follows the Machine Age defined by Le Corbusier and the Electronic Age described by Toyo Ito. In this sense, the dissertation demonstrates the way in which important architects have focused their ambitious ideas on small projects. petite characteristics are summarized as being: architecture that pampers the scale, is (de)mountable and therefore temporary, explores the formal and technical potential of novel materials and techniques imported from other industries, incorporates sensual conditions according with its anthropometric scale, and is conceived for the leisure of a group of people. In addition, by way of colophon, the dissertation discovers the existence of a fictional story that links Charlotte Perriand and Kazuyo Sejima through Toyo Ito: "Adèle's Diary".
