From Epic to Romance: the Paralysis of the Hero in the Prise D'orange
Minnette Grunmann-Gaudet From Epic to Romance: The Paralysis of the Hero in the Prise d'Orange N HIS Essai de poétique médiévale, Paul Zumthor attempts to establish a basic structural model for the Old French epic, (Schema I I).1 He bases his schema upon a typological classification of the principal characters of the chanson de geste proposed by Pasqualino in 1970. On the primary horizontal axis we find an opposition between good and bad characters, or in socio-religious terms, between Christians and pagans. This axis is broken by secondary diagonal axes which gauge whether individuals change, becoming good by repentance or conversion to Christianity, or bad by political treason or renouncements of the Christian faith. This model clearly illustrates the moral polarities inherent in works such as the Oxford Roland and the Chanson de Guillaume, but does not account for a great number of gestes in which the conflict is between lord and vassal, uncle and nephew, husband and wife, or even two friends. Schema I 'Paul Zumthor, Essai de poétique médiévale (Paris: Éditions du Seuil, 1972),p. 326. 22 Grunmann-Gaudet / Paralysis in the Prise d'Orange 23 In a more recent endeavor to define the structure of the Old French epic, P. Van Nuffel develops a similar but more elaborate schema, based upon the Greimasian model for determining deep structures (Schema II).2 Schéma II defense of Christianity defense of Muhammedanism betrayal of Muhammedanism betrayal of Christianity Here the horizontal axes represent the axes of contraries (defense of Christianity vs. defense of Muhammedanism; betrayal of Muhammed- anism vs.

Diverse peoples acquired economic and political hegemony, they imposed laws, customs and artistic models which merged with pre-existing backgrounds and styles which then expanded throughout Northern European and African countries. Ideas from the East, such as science, religion and artistic models, ﬁl- tered throughout the Mediterranean. Nomadic populations reached Mediterranean shores and so cultures and customs were brought to- gether for several centuries in a relatively small circle. It was on the edges of the Mediterranean where the two fundamental ideas of gar- den design, the formal and the informal, were created and confronted each other. Here, the garden became the idealization of a perfect and immutable world, the mimesis of nature.

The park's northern boundary is the Besòs river and Vallès depression, and it is bordered by the Llobregat river and city of Barcelona in the south. In 1987, a special management and environmental protection plan was established for Collserola. It is based on the principle of protecting and strengthening ecosystems. At the same time, infrastructure construction has allowed the public to use this space rationally, without endangering the park's precious natural and landscape resources. The site, managed by the Collserola park Consortium, is a diversified spectrum of natural Mediterranean environments, where forest areas predominate. There are also a few agricultural areas. The park's highest point is on the Tibidabo mountain (512 m). It has a typically Mediterranean climate. The average temperature is 14°C, with pluviometry of 620 mm/year, although microclimates due to diverse hilly terrain must also be considered. Natural heritage. The park is home to a wealth of plant and animal species characteristic of Mediterranean ecosystems. Thus, endemic Iberian Peninsula species are found among the arthropods, some of which have been observed exclusively on the Collserola site.

Lusthaus Or Summer Palace, a Successful Building Type in Early Modern Europe Ivan Muchka
Architectura recreationis: Lusthaus or Summer Palace, A Successful Building Type in Early Modern Europe Looking for Leissure Ivan Muchka The reason most people are interested in history is because they think they will find answers to questions they are asking themselves about the present. In countries overtaken by totalitarian regimes after World War II, urban-dwellers escaped from cities to the countryside, to nature. It happened not only in large urban centres, but also in small towns and sparsely populated areas. The need to relax, to get out of the dirt, dust, smoke and smog (including the ideological smog – the political brainwashing), was prevalent, and citizens turned to the private sphere, the only area which could not be controlled by the omnipresent communist state. But this need for escape, at least for a few hours a week, from the dense, overpopulated places in order to enjoy the open nature and healthy air, had existed for a very long time before that.1 As architecture and urbanism have adjusted to our needs, they have become specialized in their functions. The term ‘building type’ came into existence – a structure that best embodied the needs and characteristics that was expected from a certain building. But as these needs may vary greatly, so could the look of an individual building type vary to a great degree, its typical features even bleeding into other building types. In this article, I will examine the definition of one building type, that of Lusthaus or summer palace, in order to be able to interpret better the concrete examples of this type.

E & HT Anthony Catalog
Introduction The following individuals (listed alphabetically) contributed especially significant ideas or amounts of data to this project; their assistance is acknowledged with gratitude: The late Mr. A. Verner Conover, the late Dr. William C. Darrah, Mr. Jeffrey Krause, the late Mr. Frederick Lightfoot, and Mr. Russell Norton. The tedious and exacting transfer of data from the Anthony catalogs into the computer data base was done by Mrs. Patricia Treadwell. Mrs. Joleeta Treadwell greatly assisted in the compilation of information from the Conover collection. The work was supported in part by a grant from the National Stereoscopic Association's research fund. Data conversions by Wolfgang Sell. The Anthony company was among the largest producers of stereoviews in the world, as well as one of the earliest. The involvement in stereo came considerably later, however, than the initial founding of the organization by Edward Anthony in 1840. Remarkably, he was only 22 at the time but had already graduated from Columbia College and worked professionally in several fields. And it should be remembered that only in the previous year -- 1839 -- had Daguerre publicly described his photographic process. Edward Anthony studied photography under Samuel F. B. Morse, and absorbed from him not only the necessary technical information but also some knowledge of artistic matters in general. Edward Anthony Henry Anthony With his brother Henry he had been employed as an engineer on the Croton aqueduct project, and continued experimenting with daguerreotypes. In 1840 he worked with the joint American-British commission charged with determining the boundary between Maine and Canada, taking a number of images to support the observations of the surveyors.
