L’histoire des religions est une discipline inquiète. C’est vrai de toute discipline scientifique digne de ce nom, mais celle qui nous occupe en possède (ou est possédée par) une manière bien à elle : son objet même est incertain ! Cette situation d’inconfort permanent dérive de sa généalogie : issue de l’apologétique et de la missiologie chrétienne à l’époque des grandes découvertes, elle apparaît ou disparaît ensuite dans des anthropologies ou des sociologies régionales, selon le degré d’au..

Dans le détail, l’historique cité à l’ordre du jour

Plus qu’indice, preuve, variation d’échelles, le détail, pour l’historien, témoigne d’une rencontre, d’une « citation à l’ordre du jour » du présent et du passé. Et cet éclair se produit au moment où la recherche et la narration historiographiques se font « images », monogrammes, de l’historique comme tel, qui n’est autre que le libre cours de l’Histoire gardé pour l’avenir dans ses possibilités non advenues

Jean-Baptiste Bélanger, hydraulic engineer, researcher and academic

Jean-Baptiste BÉLANGER (1790-1874) worked as a hydraulic engineer at the beginning of his career. He developed the backwater equation to calculate gradually-varied open channel flow properties for steady flow conditions. Later, as an academic at the leading French engineering schools (Ecole Centrale des Arts et Manufactures, Ecole des Ponts et Chaussées, and Ecole Polytechnique), he developed a new university curriculum in mechanics and several textbooks including a seminal text in hydraulic engineering. His influence on his contemporaries was considerable, and his name is written on the border of one of the four facades of the Eiffel Tower. BÉLANGER's leading role demonstrated the dynamism of practicing engineers at the time, and his contributions paved the way to many significant works in hydraulics

Modeling the Past: The Paleoethnological Evidence

This chapter considers the earliest Paleolithic, Oldowan (Mode 1), and Acheulean (Mode 2) cultures of the Old Continent and the traces left by the earliest hominids since their departure from Africa. According to the most recent archaeological data, they seem to have followed two main dispersal routes across the Arabian Peninsula toward the Levant, to the north, and the Indian subcontinent, to the east. According to recent discoveries at Dmanisi in the Caucasus, the first Paleolithic settlement of Europe is dated to some 1.75 Myr ago, which indicates that the first “out of Africa” took place at least slightly before this date. The data available for Western Europe show that the first Paleolithic sites can be attributed to the period slightly before 1.0 Myr ago. The first well-defined “structural remains” so far discovered in Europe are those of Isernia La Pineta in Southern Italy, where a semicircular artificial platform made of stone boulders and animal bones has been excavated. The first hand-thrown hunting weapons come from the site of Scho¨ningen in north Germany, where the first occurrence of wooden spears, more than 2 m long, has been recorded from a site attributed to some 0.37 Myr ago. Slightly later began the regular control of fire. Although most of the archaeological finds of these ages consist of chipped stone artifacts, indications of art seem to be already present in the Acheulean of Africa and the Indian subcontinent
