Catherine Armstrong, Landscape and Identity in North America’s Southern Colonies from 1660 to 1745

In her monograph, Catherine Armstrong takes up the old but still debated and still unresolved historiographical question of the potential existence before the Independence of the United States of an American identity different from an English or a British one. Her contention is that traces of this other identity were visible in colonial times “culturally” (11) speaking. Her research is a contribution to Atlantic history as she focuses on “cultural transfer” (11) and reflects on the hybridity ..

Publier sur la Révolution américaine en France (1778-1788) : Entre diplomatie culturelle et censure monarchique

Cet article propose une étude des conditions de rédaction et de publication des ouvrages écrits en français sur la Révolution américaine pendant les années 1780. Ce corpus, négligé jusqu’à présent par les historiens, comprend des textes soumis pour révision aux diplomates américains en poste en Europe. Or, ces collaborations relativement peu étudiées permettent de réévaluer ce moment franco-américain. Il en est de même des Archives de la Librairie française qui contiennent les rapports des censeurs sur ces ouvrages, dont la plupart ont bénéficié d’une permission tacite pour circuler en France. Il ressort de la consultation de ces documents que les critiques à l’encontre des institutions françaises ont été secondaires pour Vergennes, à condition qu’elles ne fussent pas érigées en système théorique. Ces sources suggèrent que ces écrits sur la Révolution américaine ne peuvent plus être considérés uniquement en termes de « propagande », comme le faisait Durand Echeverria, mais méritent d’être intégrés à une histoire intellectuelle atlantique ou transatlantique de l’ère des révolutions.This article focuses on the writing and publication in the 1780s of books in French about the American Revolution. The corpus, which has, until now, been neglected by historians, includes texts that were revised by American diplomats appointed in Europe. These collaborations, not yet studied in any depth, may lead us to reappraise this Franco-American moment. The same is true of the Archives of the Royal Office of Books which contain censors’ reports concerning these writings, the great majority of which were tacitly authorized to circulate in France. They reveal that the criticisms levelled at French institutions were secondary in Vergennes’ eyes, provided they were not turned into a theoretical system. The sources suggest that such texts should not be seen merely in terms of “propaganda” as Durand Echeverria did, but that they should instead become part of an Atlantic or transatlantic intellectual history of the Age of Revolutions

Le Journal de Gouverneur Morris pendant la Révolution française. Tome premier (1789)

Gouverneur (de son prénom) Morris, avocat et homme d’affaires new-yorkais à la jambe de bois, membre de la Convention de Philadelphie en 1787, séjourne en France de 1789 à 1794, tout d’abord pour des motifs personnels, avant d’être nommé ministre plénipotentiaire par George Washington en janvier 1792. Le journal qu’il rédige assidument pendant son séjour français est une source importante pour ceux qui étudient l’ère des Révolutions. Aux États-Unis, le regain d’intérêt pour ce Père fondateur ..

A universal model for solar radiation exergy accounting: Case study of Tunisia

The global solar radiation is the origin for all environmental processes on the earth and the majority of energy sources are derived from it. The data of solar radiation are required for the design and the study of solar application systems. The more important is the quality of the solar radiation which is defined by the maximum work can be provided by the solar radiation. This quality is measured by the exergy content of a solar radiation. In the present work, a universal pattern has been built to provide a prediction of solar exergy dependently to the geographic location. Fitting models have been developed for exergy account depending on geographic location, based on the linear, quadratic, cubic, logarithmic, exponential, power regression. The Petela model is adopted from literature for exergetic efficiency accounting of solar radiation. The global solar radiation according to ASHRAE model is expressed dependently of the cosine of zenith angle. The developed model is applied on Tunisia regions to predict exergy solar potential. The studied regions are classified regarding the exergy account, high, medium and low solar exergy locations. Results show that generally the solar radiation shows a low degree of exergy content, about 7% of difference
