Script Épisode 1
Episode 1 : jane celle qui portait la culotte GENERIQUE DE DEBUT _________________________________________________________ Johanna : Vous voyez l'église de la Dalbade dans le quartier des Carmes à Toulouse ? Eh bien c'est là qu'elle est née. En 1851. "Elle", c'est Jeanne Magre. Une petite fille qui deviendra une grande dame : Jane Dieulafoy. Une des premières femmes françaises à recevoir la Légion d'Honneur, une pionnière de l’archéologie et celle qui a pu être autorisée à porter… - tenez vous bien - un pantalon ! Laissez-moi vous raconter l'histoire de Jane archéologue et romancière, oubliée de la grande Histoire. VIRGULE _________________________________________________________ Lancement : Johanna : Depuis toute petite, Jeanne a toujours aimé les trucs de garçon. Avec son grand frère, elle avait l'habitude de faire des promenades à cheval. Jane : ...des promenades à cheval. Mon papa et ma maman appartiennent à la bourgeoisie toulousaine. Papa fait du commerce, maman ne travaille pas. Moi, ce que j'aime, c'est le dessin et la peinture. Dès l'âge de onze ans, mes parents me placent dans un Institut catholique en banlieue parisienne. J'étudie la littérature, le latin, le grec, mais aussi … les civilisations anciennes. Ça devient une vraie passion. Vous verrez ;-) À 18 ans, je rencontre Marcel Dieulafoy et je tombe amoureuse de lui. Je vous en parle parce que c'est un élément important de mon récit. À cette époque, il travaille au service des édifices municipaux de la ville rose. Un an plus tard, en 1870, on se marie. Mais la même année, la guerre éclate entre la France et la Prusse. -
TIPS for WOMEN TRAVELERS
101 TIPS for WOMEN TRAVELERS ® ® SM Since 1978 1 “ I am not the same having seen the moon shine on the other side of the world.” —Mary Anne Radmacher Artist & author A woman who has dedicated herself to inspiring and celebrating greatness in women, Mary Anne Radmacher is herself inspired by travel, as these words show. 2 Dear Traveler, When did travel first touch your life? For me, travel has been at my core since I was a little girl, sneaking a look at travel books under the covers when I was supposed to be sleeping. In the many years since, I’ve been privileged to visit countries on every continent, meeting wonderful people along the way. Today, my husband Alan and I own and co-chair the Grand Circle family of travel companies: Overseas Adventure Travel, Grand Circle Cruise Line, and Grand Circle Travel (see page 84 to learn more about our different types of travel). And I continue to realize that we can always learn from others when it comes to travel experience and advice. In these pages, you’ll find the best-of-the-best tips offered by OAT and Grand Circle female travelers, our online Travel Forum and Facebook followers, and associates and guides around the world. We are so grateful to all who contributed thoughts and ideas. I hope that this edition of 101 Tips for Women Travelers gives even the most experienced travelers new ideas for making the most of their trips. At the back of this volume, you’ll also find a number of resources that can help you prolong the joy of travel, including travel-related books, films, and Internet resources and apps. -
This Article Is Published in European Encounters with Georgia in Past and Present
This article is published in European Encounters with Georgia in past and present. Special Issue of Anthropological Researches. Ed. by Françoise Companjen, VU Amsterdam University Press, 2014. George Sanikidze 19TH CENTURY FRENCH PERCEPTION OF GEORGIA: FROM THE TREATY OF FINKENSTEIN TO TRADE AND TOURISM. The 19th century is a turning point in the history of Georgia. After its incorporation into the Russian Empire, radical changes took place in the country. Europeans have taken an ever increasing interest in Georgia, specifically in its capital Tbilisi. This contribution discusses a change in France’s perception of Georgia and its capital during the nineteenth century. The nineteenth century French memoirs and records on Georgia can be divided into three basic groups. These groups reflect changes in the political and economic situation in the East-West relations, and thus a change in motives, which had immediate implications for Georgia. The first period coincides with the “Great Game” during the Napoleonic wars when Georgia inadvertently became part of France’s Eastern policy. The French sources on Georgia are comprised of so-called Treaty of Finkenstein between France and Persia, French newspapers (Le moniteur, Journal de l’Empire, Nouvelles étrangères...) reporting, and data on Georgia by French envoys in Persia (General Ange de Gardane (1766–1818), Amadée Jaubert (1779-1847), Joseph Rousseau (1780-1831), Camille Alphonse Trézel (1880- 1860). The second period was a time of taking interest economically in Georgia and its capital Tbilisi, which by then (especially under the so-called preferential tariff policy) had become a transit trade route for European goods going East, Iran in particular. -

George Sanikidze G. Tsereteli Institute of Oriental Studies, Ilia State University, Georgia BETWEEN EAST AND WEST: 19TH C. FRENCH PERCEPTION OF GEORGIA The 19th century is a turning point in the history of Georgia. After its incorporation into the Russian Empire radical changes took place in the country. Europeans have taken an ever increasing interest in Georgia, specifically in its capital Tbilisi. This article discusses a change in France’s perception of Georgia and its capital during the nineteenth century. The nineteenth century French memoirs and records on Georgia can be divided into three basic groups. These groups reflect changes in the political and economic situation in the East-West relations which had immediate implications for Georgia. The first period coincides with the “Great Game” during the Napoleonic wars when Georgia inadvertently became part of France’s Eastern policy. The French sources on Georgia are comprised of so- called Treaty of Finkenshtein between France and Persia, French newspapers (Le moniteur, Journal de l’Empire, Nouvelles étrangères...) reporting, and data on Georgia by French envoys in Persia (General Ange de Gardane (1766–1818), Amadée Jaubert (1779-1847), Joseph Rousseau (1780-1831), Camille Alphonse Trézel (1880-1860)...). The second period was a time of taking interest economically in Georgia and its capital Tbilisi, which by then (especially under the so-called preferential tariff policy) had become a transit trade route for European goods going East, Iran in particular. In this regard an invaluable source is the work by the first French consul in Tbilisi Chevalier Jacques François Gamba (1763-1833). Although the economic activity of France in the Caucasus relatively slowed after the preferential tariff was revoked (1831), many French still traveled to Georgia. -
Historical and Cultural Backgrounds of André Godard's Research Activities in Iran
Archive of SID Historical and Cultural Backgrounds of André Godard's Research Activities in Iran Hossein Soltanzadeh* Department of Architecture, Faculty Architecture and Urban Planning, Central Tehran Branch, Islamic Azad University, Tehran, Iran Received: 09 June 2020 - Accepted: 02 August 2020 Abstract Numerous foreign architects and researchers came to Iran from European countries in the first half of the contemporary century to carry out various activities. One of these figures was André Godard, whose cultural and research activities are of special importance in terms of variety and effectiveness. The present study hence aims to discuss the cultural and historical backgrounds that made it possible for André Godard to conduct different activities in Iran. The main objective of this study is to investigate the historical contexts and factors affecting André Godard‟s activities in Iran. The research question is as follows: What historical and cultural phenomena made a distinction between André Godard‟s cultural and research activities and those of other foreign architects in Iran in terms of breadth and diversity? The research theoretical foundation is based on the fact that the cultural and historical features of a country influence the activities of its architects and researchers in other counties. This was a qualitative historical study. The results showed that the frequency of historical and cultural studies on Iran with a positive attitude were higher in France compared to other European countries whose architects came to Iran during the Qajar and Pahlavi eras. In addition, the cultural policies of France in Iran were more effective than those of other foreign countries. -

The Forerunners on Heritage Stones Investigation: Historical Synthesis and Evolution
heritage Review The Forerunners on Heritage Stones Investigation: Historical Synthesis and Evolution David M. Freire-Lista 1,2 1 Departamento de Geologia, Escola de Ciências da Vida e do Ambiente, Universidade de Trás-os-Montes e Alto Douro, 5001-801 Vila Real, Portugal; [email protected] 2 Centro de Geociências, Universidade de Coimbra, 3030-790 Coimbra, Portugal Abstract: Human activity has required, since its origins, stones as raw material for carving, con- struction and rock art. The study, exploration, use and maintenance of building stones is a global phenomenon that has evolved from the first shelters, manufacture of lithic tools, to the construction of houses, infrastructures and monuments. Druids, philosophers, clergymen, quarrymen, master builders, naturalists, travelers, architects, archaeologists, physicists, chemists, curators, restorers, museologists, engineers and geologists, among other professionals, have worked with stones and they have produced the current knowledge in heritage stones. They are stones that have special significance in human culture. In this way, the connotation of heritage in stones has been acquired over the time. That is, the stones at the time of their historical use were simply stones used for a certain purpose. Therefore, the concept of heritage stone is broad, with cultural, historic, artistic, architectural, and scientific implications. A historical synthesis is presented of the main events that marked the use of stones from prehistory, through ancient history, medieval times, and to the modern period. In addition, the main authors who have written about stones are surveyed from Citation: Freire-Lista, D.M. The Ancient Roman times to the middle of the twentieth century. Subtle properties of stones have been Forerunners on Heritage Stones discovered and exploited by artists and artisans long before rigorous science took notice of them and Investigation: Historical Synthesis explained them. -

The Architectural Order of Persian Talar Life of a Form
The Architectural Order of Persian Talar Life of a Form Ludovico Micara1 Tout est forme, et la vie même est une forme. Honoré de Balzac La forme … est d’abord une vie mobile dans un monde changeant. Les métamorphoses, sans fin, recommencent. Henri Focillon Abstract: the architectural order of the Persian talar, which characterized the most significant architecture of Safavid Persia and its capital Isfahan in the seventeenth century, condenses within its spaces a series of quality and characteristics that identify it as a recognizable and independent architectural form. This form syncretically collects and expresses a range of experiences and motives, that render the Persian architectural tradition and its continuity during at least 3000 years, an extraordinary unicum. The analysis of the persistence of the talar form to this day highlights the theme of vitality over time of certain architectural shapes and its meaning, whether overt or implied, almost independently of its temporary interpreters; perhaps proving and preluding a possible “life of forms” in architecture. Keywords: Architectural order, Forms, Talar, Hypostyle Hall, Persia, Safavid, Isfahan, Persepolis, the Arab-Islamic Mosque, Gunnar Asplund, Frank Lloyd Wright, Ludovico Quaroni, Norman Foster. The German naturalist, traveler and writer Engelbert Kaempfer, author in 1712 of the “relations, observations and descriptions of Persian things and farther Asia”2, contained in Amoenitatum exoticarum politico- physico-medicarum fasciculi V3, accurately illustrating the palaces and royal gardens of the Safavid Isfahan, avails himself of the opportunity to introduce and describe the talar palace (Fig. 1). Kaempfer distinguishes the two fundamental areas of the palatial structure of Isfahan, and more generally of the courts and royal residences of the Islamic world. -

101 TIPS for WOMEN TRAVELERS Overseas Adventure Travel C “ I am not the same having seen the moon shine on the other side of the world.” —Mary Anne Radmacher Artist & author A woman who has dedicated herself to inspiring and celebrating greatness in women, Mary Anne Radmacher is herself inspired by travel, as these words show. D Dear Traveler, My husband Alan once told me that I am most alive when I am traveling. I consider that one of the greatest compliments he ever paid me. Travel has been at the core of my life since I was a little girl, sneaking a look at travel books under the covers when I was supposed to be sleeping. It has been many years since then, and I have been privileged to visit countries on every continent, accumulating adventures and meeting wonderful people who have enriched my life in so many ways. One thing I’ve learned from all these experiences is that we can always learn from each other. From first-time travelers to those who have traveled around the world, we can all benefit from sharing tips and advice. Alan and I have always been awed by the generosity of OAT and Grand Circle travelers and associates, who are always quick to reply when we ask for their stories and expertise. So, when we put out a call for new tips for this edition of 101 Tips for Women Travelers, we were not surprised by your response. While we could easily have put together a volume called 501 Tips for Women Travelers, we decided to keep this book at a manageable size. -
