Sung-Wook Moon, Rutebeuf ou une écriture du « divers » by Sung-Wook Moon

“…Examining the existing scientific achievements, as in the literary and philological field as in terms of historiography, and confronting new questions stimulated by poetry more subtle than has often been believed, this study has ambition to restitute to the medieval writer a writing conscious of its powers and its weaknesses, writing elaborated in contact and dealing with history and current affairs, reflecting on the relationship between his ineluctably fabulous language and the reality of the world he lives, not without drawing some audacious claims about the merits specific to his labour. …”

Martha Graham, ‘An American, A kosmos’: Border-crossing in Martha Graham’s early works by Adeline CHEVRIER-BOSSEAU

“…This paper examines the connection between crossing borders (state limits, borders between America and Mexico or America and Europe, and temporal borders) and pushing choreographical boundaries in dance pioneer Martha Graham’s ballets created in the 1930’s and the early 1940’s.Danced only by women, Primitive Mysteries (1931) was inspired by Graham’s travels in New Mexico, and explores the rituals of the Native Americans of the Southern States of the United States; nine years later, Graham would explore this theme further with El Penitente, which also draws from the Medieval tradition of mystery plays. Frontier (1935), one of Graham’s most famous soli, clearly connects the American Frontier to the construction of female identity, as do American Document (1938) and Appalachian Spring (1944). …”

I segni della colpa: il giurista e la lettura del corpo a Venezia nella prima età moderna by Manuela Bragagnolo

Already present in medieval legal practice, however, it was in the sixteenth century, and especially in Venetian and Paduan intellectual circles, that the interweaving of law and physiognomy became more prominent. …”
