Abstract

Ce travail, intitulé « La conservation des milieux ouverts de la Réserve de Biosphère Luberon-Lure : Cas du Vautour percnoptère et du Lézard ocellé » a été réalisé par Florian Patouillard, en vue de l’obtention du grade de Master en Biologie des Organismes et Ecologie, à finalité spécialisée en Biologie de la Conservation : Biodiversité et Gestion, pour l’année 2017/2018. L’étude a été coordonnée conjointement par le Dr. Johann Delcourt, (Service de Biologie du Comportement, ULiège) et Julien Baudat-Franceschi, Chargé d’études faune au Parc Naturel Régional du Luberon.&#13;Les milieux ouverts méditerranéens, dont le maintien dépend principalement du pastoralisme, sont en régression depuis une centaine d’années. La déprise rurale qui a touché la région se fait de plus en plus ressentir sur ces milieux d’intérêt, dont la biodiversité exceptionnelle est menacée par la recolonisation par les espèces végétales pionnières, entraînant à terme un remplacement par un milieu forestier. Le principal objectif de ce mémoire est de déterminer une stratégie de conservation de ces milieux via deux espèces parapluie menacées : le Vautour percnoptère et le Lézard ocellé.&#13;Notre travail relève effectivement que les milieux ouverts sont en régression, mais également fragmentés, quelle que soit l’échelle d’étude. De plus, la tendance négative s’est récemment accélérée, comme le démontre notre travail réalisé sur le zonage des milieux favorables et défavorables au percnoptère à l’échelle de la Réserve de Biosphère. Les difficultés du Vautour percnoptère, seul vautour nicheur du Luberon, à se maintenir dans la région sont d’origines multiples, mais la perte et le morcellement de son habitat sont les causes principales de sa régression. Nous avons réalisé une cartographie globale et réactualisée des risques de mortalité et de dérangement de cet oiseau. Le Lézard ocellé subit le même sort : sur notre zone d’étude couvrant deux communes, il réside un seul noyau de population, sur la plus grande parcelle d’habitat ouvert, où il subsiste une population notable.&#13;Au vu des résultats de notre étude, nous préconisons d’orienter la priorité de conservation de ces habitats et espèces patrimoniaux vers la préservation des parcelles de milieux favorables les plus étendues habitées par les espèces parapluies de notre étude. De plus, la connectivité entre les parcelles doit être favorisée, notamment par la création de parcours pastoraux. Les efforts de partenariats du Parc Naturel Régional du Luberon avec les éleveurs doivent être maintenus et renforcés pour encourager le pastoralisme, favorisant le développement économique, social et culturel lié à l’activité, mais également la biodiversité exceptionnelle si particulière des milieux ouverts méditerranéens.

Abstract

From An Explanation of America:LAIR Robert Pinsky ? Inexhaustible, delicate, as ifWithout source or medium, daylightUndoes the mind; the infinite, Empty actual is too bright,Scattering to where the roadWhispers, through a mile of woods … Later, how quiet the house is:Dusk-like and refined,The sweet Phoebe-note Piercing from the trees;The calm globe of the morning,Things to read or to write Ranged on a table; the brainA dark, stubborn current that breathesBlood, a deaf wadding, The hands feeding it paperAnd sensations of wood or metalOn its own terms. Trying to read I persist a while, finish the recognitionBy my breath of a dead giant's breath--Stayed by the space of a rhythm, Witnessing the blue gulf of the air.

Abstract

A penetrating study of Alberti's writings on philosophy, ethics, aesthetics architecture, and literature.Listen to Alberti's voice. This is what Mark Jarzombek has done in studying virtually all of Alberti's writings on philosophy, ethics, aesthetics architecture, and literature. Jarzombek's thorough grasp of Alberti's thought and painstaking analysis of his elusive identity transform our image of this remarkable man carving out a new place for Alberti in literary theory, art history, and Renaissance scholarship.Instead of warming over the stereotypes of Alberti as a ""universal man"" or as a proponent of ""civic Humanism,"" Jarzombek explores Alberti's views on the relationship between the writer and society. He asserts that, while Alberti was indeed an architect, an art theorist and a man of letters, he was above all a theoretician of writing: ""Everywhere one turns, the problems of writing, authorship and textuality seem to appear, from his first writings... to his last."" Jarzombek, opening the possibilities for a different type of discussion of Alberti and of such major works as De pictura and De re aedificatora, places Alberti more accurately within the context of his times and clarifies the intertextual relationship among his works. Jarzombek's investigation brings to light themes that have remained hidden in the complex world of Alberti's speculations. The Alberti of Jarzombeks book is an outsider struggling to resolve conflicting impulses of pessimism and hope. He is also a profound and willful thinker who, while amalgamating contemporary trends, did not endorse them but countered with a cosmological philosophy of his own.

Abstract

In Humanism and the Urban World, Caspar Pearson offers a profoundly revisionist account of Leon Battista Alberti’s approach to the urban environment as exemplified in the extensive theoretical treatise De re aedificatoria (On the Art of Building in Ten Books), brought mostly to completion in the 1450s, as well as in his larger body of written work. Past scholars have generally characterized the Italian Renaissance architect and theorist as an enthusiast of the city who envisioned it as a rational, Renaissance ideal. Pearson argues, however, that Alberti’s approach to urbanism was far more complex—that he was even “essentially hostile” to the city at times. Rather than proposing the “ideal” city, Pearson maintains, Alberti presented a variety of possible cities, each one different from another. This book explores the ways in which Alberti sought to remedy urban problems, tracing key themes that manifest in De re aedificatoria. Chapters address Alberti’s consideration of the city’s possible destruction and the city’s capacity to provide order despite its intrinsic instability; his assessment of a variety of political solutions to that instability; his affinity for the countryside and discussions of the virtues of the active versus the contemplative life; and his theories of aesthetics and beauty, in particular the belief that beauty may affect the soul of an enemy and thus preserve buildings from attack.

Abstract

One of the most brilliant and original authors and architects of the entire Renaissance, Leon Battista Alberti's output encompassed engineering, surveying, cryptography, poetry, humour, political commentary and more. He employed irony, satire and playful allusion in his written works, and developed a sophisticated approach to architecture that combined the ancient and modern. Born into the Florentine elite, Alberti was nonetheless disadvantaged due to exile and illegitimacy. As a result, he became an acute analyst of the social institutions of his time, as well as a profoundly existential writer who was intensely preoccupied with the human condition. This new account explores Alberti's life and works, examining how his personal and intellectual preoccupations continually pushed him to engage with an ever-broader spectrum of Renaissance culture.
