Résumé : The essential characteristics of the vegetation dynamics of tropical Africa remain only partially known. This study assesses the succession of vegetation-types over Central Africa during the last two glacial/interglacial cycles. Analysis of core KZai 02, which contains pollen from the Zaire River watershed (latitudes 9°N-13°S), allows the investigation of long-term patterns of plant ecosystem development and their climatic causes. Core KZai 02 (18.20 m long) was recovered from 6°24.20′S/9°54.10′E in the uppermost axial edifice of the Zaire deep sea fan. The chronology of this sedimentary archive was established using nannofossils and correlations of pollen and total organic carbon signals with the nearby core GeoB1008. The pollen record indicates that: (i) glacials (MIS 6, 4, 2) are marked by the development of afromontane (Podocarpus) forest at high altitudes when central basin lowlands were occupied by Cyperaceae marshes and savannah; (ii) during interglacials (MIS 1, 5) lowland forests were developed, marked by the successive expansion of pioneer, warm-temperate, rain forests, and mangrove indicating sea-level rise; (iii) glacial-interglacial transitions (MIS 6/5, 2/1) display similar vegetation dynamics. The strong evidence of afromontane forest and the opening of the vegetation during glacials suggest a reduced latitudinal distribution of rainfall by the strengthening of the trade wind system. West African monsoon systems were enhanced during interglacials, allowing the progressive development of lowland forests. The development of rain and pioneer forests during glacial Heinrich stadials suggests an enhancement of water availability in tropical Africa associated with these high latitude events. However, no augmentation of wind activity, described by previous studies, is evidenced by our pollen record. Similar vegetation successions during glacial/interglacial transitions suggest the diachronous and stepped intervention of CO2 (emphasizing the influence of temperature on plant ecosystems) and water availability.

Around the turn of the 20th century, cigars were advertised and sold mainly by the colourful, intricate labels that adorned the boxes. Intense competition encouraged manufacturers to see who could create the most beautiful, eye-catching labels. A diffrent stone was required to print each colour. It was not unusual for as many as 20 stones to be used to create a single label. The register for each printing had to be perfect. The process became known as STONE LITHOGRAPHY or CHROMOLITHOGRAPHY. Once this exacting printing process was completed, the labels were then gilded with hand-applied gold leaf. Finally, the labels were embossed using huge 30-ton presses. According to Joe Davidson, the eminent American art dealer and collector, the "Golden Era" of cigar labels is associated with the introduction of gilding and embossing in the 1890's up to the late 1920's when the less attractive full-colour or photo-mechanical labels began to appear. Genuine gold leaf was used primarily by German and Cuban printers and "bronzing" in which bronze powder was mixed with lacquer or sizing, applied like ink, then burnished with brushes or polished rollers to make them gleam like gold. These particular labels were produced by the German factory, Gerhard Meinesz in Bentheim, near the Dutch border, and closed in 1932. The labels were used during the 1920's. These spectacular lithographs lithographs wound up lying unused and undiscovered for generations. Because they were printed on special long-fibre, acid-free rage paper, these old labels retained their original brilliant colours. Consequently, they are available in very limited quantities.

Résumé : We quantify, analyze, and characterize the frequency-dependent microseismic noise recorded by worldwide distributed seismic stations. Microseismic noise is generated through the interaction of ocean waves. It is the strongest ambient noise, and it is observed everywhere on Earth. We introduce a new approach which permits us to detect polarized signals in the time-frequency domain and which we use to characterize the microseismic noise. We analyze 7 years of continuous seismograms from the global GEOSCOPE network. Microseisms are dominated by Rayleigh waves, and we therefore focus on elliptically polarized signals. The polarized signals are detected in the time-frequency domain through a degree of polarization measure. We design polarization spectra and show that microseismic noise is more strongly polarized than noise in other frequency bands. This property is used to measure the directions of the polarized noise at individual stations as a function of time and frequency. Seasonal variations are found for the back azimuths and for the number of polarized signals at many stations. We show that the back azimuth directions are robust measurements that point toward the source areas computed from ocean wave models.

Extrait de : "Terres promises, représentations et imaginaires" : colloque, du 25 au 27 novembre 2015. Université des Antilles
Description : La notion de « Terre promise » apparaît de façon récurrente dans la réflexion du poète symboliste Saint-Pol-Roux (1861-1940). Héritière du néo-catholicisme romantique, la Terre Promise saintpolienne, à la fois littéraire, ontologique et eschatologique, annonce, dans une réinterprétation hardie des Écritures récusant le partage entre l'espace et le temps, le terme fabuleux de la littérature, de l'écriture et du monde. Le poète, figure de l'homme par excellence, se définit alors, dans cette exégèse poétique de la Révélation, comme un être de l'exil et de l'exode, un pèlerin « magnifique » sur la route de Chanaan.

Extrait de : "Matrimoine-Afro-Américano-Caribéen (MAAC) : Enjeux, pratiques, représentations" : journée d'études, le 25 octobre 2021. Université des Antilles
Description : Le projet MAAC a consisté à créer une plateforme scientifique et pédagogique numérique réunissant des textes, des vidéos (entretiens, portraits) et des expositions sur la notion de matrimoine notamment le Matrimoine Afro-américano-caribéen et ses usages dans les productions artistiques contemporaines. Il se construit autour du dialogue scientifique entre des équipes caribéennes, américaines et européennes à propos du matrimoine afro-américano-caribéen et il a l'avantage de se baser sur des recherches en cours et de viser la synergie entre les chercheur.e.s. Le projet Matrimoine Afro-américano-caribéen entend contribuer à la constitution et à l'analyse du matrimoine culturel afro-américain et aux modalités de sa transmission dans la création contemporaine (littérature, arts et arts de la scène) de l'aire des Caraïbes (Barbade, Cuba, Guadeloupe, Jamaïque, Martinique, Haïti, République Dominicaine, Trinidad-et-Tobago) et des Amériques en général (notamment Amérique latine, Brésil et États-Unis). La journée d'études alternera présentations académiques, performances initiées dans le cadre d'une recherche-création et débats avec des artistes femmes. La journée d'étude se clôturera sur le vernissage de l'exposition d'Anja Beutler à la bibliothèque universitaire du Pôle Martinique.
