Ces plaques furent preparees par Pierre Richer de Belleval (1555–1632), professeur de botanique, medecin des rois et fondateur du jardin botanique de Montpellier. Les plaques furent destinees a illustrer son ouvrage magistral sur la flore du Languedoc. Longtemps considerees comme perdues, ces plaques furent retrouvees en 1760 et sauvees grâce a Antoine Gouan (1733–1821), naturaliste de l’Universite de Montpellier. Ensuite elles furent achetees par Jean-Emmanuel Gilibert (1741–1814) grâce aux fonds avances par Stanislas-Auguste Poniatowski. Gilibert les amena en Lituanie dans le but de les faire publier. Il realisa son projet seulement partiellement en utilisant une partie des fonds pour illustrer Exercita phytologica, seu Flora Lithuanica . Des son retour en France, Gilibert negocia avec Poniatowski le retour des plaques ; le roi et grand-duc lui en fit cadeau. Une majeure partie de ces illustrations fut publiee a Lyon dans Demonstrations elementaires de Botaniques . Apres la prise de Lyon par l’armee revolutionnaire, les herbiers lituaniens de Gilibert furent detruits et les cuivres de Belleval perdus probablement a jamais.","PeriodicalId":184184,"journal":{"name":"Deeds and Days","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129819980","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet what they at least have in common is a deep-seated interest in the notions of time and duration: for the Lithuanian poet, the ever-recurring seasons provide human life with substance and pattern; for the Irish philosopher, they are of the essence of what nations are all about. As a critic of contractual theories, Burke argues that society is eternal, and proceeds from a primaval contract that was always there. He is particularly critical of the view that the earth belongs exclusively to the living, a view that has come to be associated with Thomas Jefferson: for Burke, if such were really the case, men would be no better than “the flies of a summer.” This image immediately conjures up a vision of the summer months, and makes us realize that Burke and Donelaitis are in fact kindred spirits: they share a common Protestant faith, a concern for the downtrodden peasantry, a view of the social contract as primaval, and the belief that men belong to deeply rooted, historical communities that make them truly human.","PeriodicalId":184184,"journal":{"name":"Deeds and Days","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134126169","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Countryfolk in Thomson’s seasons : the dark side of the landscape, or emblems of natural integration?","authors":"P. Carboni","doi":"10.7220/2335-8769.63.5","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.7220/2335-8769.63.5","url":null,"abstract":"It is generally assumed that James Thomson’s poetic cycle The Seasons (1730–1746) is is a celebration of nature’s omnipotence interspersed with pastoral or georgic episodes in which human protagonists reflect the contemporary trend in landscape painting towards representing idealised shepherds and happy swains. However, a closer reading of Thomson’s numerous desciptions of countryfolk reveals that his peasant figures are not mere ‘figures in the landscape’. On the contrary, they appear as key elements in the poet’s physico-theology. Inspired by John Barrell’s analysis of the ambiguities of the depiction of the ‘rural poor’ in eighteenth-century English painting and by Tim Fulford’s discussion of ‘landscapes of authority’, this paper would like to show that the numerous episodes of rural life in The Seasons were not intended as a superficial decor champetre . Our argument is that Thomson uses countryfolk as emblems of the complex relationship between nature and mankind. This paper analyzes the way descriptive elements from contemporary country life serve alternatively as sad reminder of man’s frailty when confronted to natural elements and also as unconscious models of human integration in the superior order of things. Despite their conventional appearance, these poetic constructions show evidence of a sharp departure from earlier definitions of the pastoral and georgic modes. In poetic and philosophical project of Thomson’s Seasons, countryfolk are a reminder that man is not a dweller in (and even less the master of) nature, but a component of the biosphere.","PeriodicalId":184184,"journal":{"name":"Deeds and Days","volume":"83 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124167840","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At the same time, we can get back to this ability – yet this doesn’t say a thing about our capability to be equally sensitive and compassionate about all troubled walks of life, situations, nations, and individuals. We are able to reduce human beings to things or non-persons so that they awaken only when we ourselves or our fellow countrymen are hit by the same kind of calamity or aggression. This withdrawal-and-return mechanism only shows how vulnerable, fragile, unpredictable, and universally valid human dignity and life are.

This study examines Lithuanian reflexive verbs to provide an account for the appearance of the reflexive marker - si - in two positions relative to the verb phrase – word finally in prefixless verbs and after the prefix in prefixed verbs, as well as to examine the overall composition of the Lithuanian verb predicate in light of its relation to the negative element. The analysis relies on the premises of Distributed Morphology, Ramchand‘s approach to argument structure within the framework of First Phase Syntax and versions of X-bar theory. It is argued that the reflexive marker is a physical manifestation of the trace of the subject, following Baker‘s (1984) Internal Subject Hypothesis. The negative phrase (NegP) is shown to be incorporating into the vP structure in otherwise prefixless verbs.","PeriodicalId":184184,"journal":{"name":"Deeds and Days","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131055611","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
