Is the meiofauna a good indicator for climate change and anthropogenic impacts?
Our planet is changing, and one of the most pressing challenges facing the scientific community revolves around understanding how ecological communities respond to global changes. From coastal to deep-sea ecosystems, ecologists are exploring new areas of research to find model organisms that help predict the future of life on our planet. Among the different categories of organisms, meiofauna offer several advantages for the study of marine benthic ecosystems. This paper reviews the advances in the study of meiofauna with regard to climate change and anthropogenic impacts. Four taxonomic groups are valuable for predicting global changes: foraminifers (especially calcareous forms), nematodes, copepods and ostracods. Environmental variables are fundamental in the interpretation of meiofaunal patterns and multistressor experiments are more informative than single stressor ones, revealing complex ecological and biological interactions. Global change has a general negative effect on meiofauna, with important consequences on benthic food webs. However, some meiofaunal species can be favoured by the extreme conditions induced by global change, as they can exhibit remarkable physiological adaptations. This review highlights the need to incorporate studies on taxonomy, genetics and function of meiofaunal taxa into global change impact research
L'art sans patrimoine
Les questions qui concernent la conception et la gestion des patrimoines culturels sont complexes. Celles qui touchent aux conditions d'exercice de la pensĂ©e artistique le sont Ă©galement. Et les recoupements entre ces deux ordres de questions ne peuvent donc ĂȘtre simples. Aussi peut-il ĂȘtre utile de proposer d'abord quelques dĂ©finitions, certainement discutables ; et d'Ă©noncer, ensuite, un certain nombre d'hypothĂšses, tout aussi ouvertes Ă la discussion. Pour qui s'interroge sur le mode d'exi..
Le torse dâun symbole
« ...lâinexpressif dĂ©truit ce qui, de lâhĂ©ritage du chaos perdure dans toute belle apparence : la totalitĂ©, la fausse, la trompeuse, lâabsolue. Ce nâest que lâinexpressif qui puisse parachever lâĆuvre en la brisant pour faire dâelle une Ćuvre morcelĂ©e, un fragment du vrai monde, le torse dâun symbole. »Walter Benjamin De son Ă©criture blanche sur fond noir, Ben Vauthier Ă©nonce : « Tout est art ».

Fiore : Alternatives : Amour, guerre, paysage = Fiore : Alternatives, Love, War, Landscape
Le Bot identifies in Fiore's work a desire to redefine thought through body and place. According to Le Gris, breath and gesture inform a "parabolic" language, both moving and rythmic. Biographical notes
Fiore : La muerte pasa por la puerta, 1992-95
Three authors comment on the presence of the monstrous and the rhetoric of horror manifested in a series of paintings and sculptural works by Fiore that stand as a public strong line against violence, particularly against police violence. Biographical notes. 33 bibl. ref
