    Description: In the digital media ecology, archives are changing. Artists, curators, critics and scholars assume the role of accidental archivists. They shape cinema’s futures by salvaging precarious repositories and making them matter in new ways. In the process, the cinema’s public, a democratic body seemingly scattered about platforms and niches in a post-pandemic world, re-emerges as a political force. Accidental Archivism brings together programmatic statements and proposals to explore an artistic space between archiving and activism, a space where remnants of the past become the building blocks of new ways of making, showing, teaching and thinking cinema.

    Description: The documents from the Ḥaram al-sharīf in Jerusalem constitute one of the most important corpora from the pre-Ottoman Middle East covering broad areas of social, political, cultural and economic history. The first documents from the Ḥaram al-sharīf in Jerusalem were discovered in the 1970s and described by Donald Little (Catalogue of the Islamic Documents, Beirut/Wiesbaden 1984). In recent years, approximately 100 new documents have been discovered that are described in this catalogue. This catalogue sets the new corpus in relation to the ‘old’ corpus and highlights its potential for future scholarship. The main part is a description of all documents, including size, materiality, summary, editions of beginning/end of document as well as a list of personal names, place names and names of witnesses. The volume also includes the edition of ten fascinating documents (five Persian, five Arabic) with high-quality reproductions of the originals. Finally, the volume includes a list of all Ḥaram al-sharīf documents edited so far. ; The documents from the Ḥaram al-sharīf in Jerusalem constitute one of the most important corpora from the pre-Ottoman Middle East covering broad areas of social, political, cultural and economic history.

    Description: L’objectif de ce mémoire est d’étudier la dynamique sédimentaire et de comprendre l’évolution spatio-temporelle du cordon sableux de Ghar El Melah. La méthodologie s’appuie sur une approche multicritère: une analyse sédimentologique permettant une caractérisation texturale des sédiments du lido de la lagune, complétée par une analyse statistique modale qui identifie les Types Sédimentaires (ST) et une quantification du flux éolien Un total de 37 échantillons superficiel a été prélevés et 28 échantillons récoltés par les pièges à sables au niveau du cordon sableux (lido) de Ghar El Melah, golfe de Tunis, Méditerranée. L’étude sédimentologique révèle que la majorité des sédiments (97 %) sont types sableux et 3 % appartient au faciès silteux. Les sédiments récoltés sont principalement unimodaux (Mo= 0,16) montrant un facies sableux homogène avec des sables moyens à fins avec une valeur de Mz compris entre 1,96 et 2,97 Phi, bien à très bien classés avec une valeur de l’écart type variant entre 0,11 et 0,40 Phi. L’analyse statistique modale montre que les sédiments sableux sont formés par un mélange de quatre types sédimentaires STI 86 %, STII 9 %, STIII 3% et STIV 2%. Le mélange de ce type sédimentaire présents au niveau du lido de la lagune témoigne l’origine des sédiments de la plage. Ce qui prouve que les sédiments sont issus de l’apport terrigène de Medjerda et de l’action des forces hydrodynamiques (vagues, courants et houles). La quantification du flux éolien montre que le lido de Ghar El Melah est soumis à une forte turbulence et d’érosion, la méthode employée consiste à quantifier la masse des particules mise en mouvement par le vent. Elle est caractérisée par un vent de direction NNO qui dépassant le 10 m/s dans certains cas. La vitesse de seuil de mouvement la plus élevé qui a balayé le sol lors de mesure du flux est de 0,0022 Kg/m/min avec une vitesse de 0,639 m/s bien que la vitesse de vent entrainant le mouvement des sables soit freinée par divers facteurs tel que la largeur et la morphologie de la plage, la pente et la topographie la granulométrie des sédiments, etc. la validation de résultat expérimental avec les formules empirique et semi-empirique montre que la formule la plus adaptée en notre secteur est celle de Zingg (1953).
    Description: The objective of this thesis is to study the sedimentary dynamics and to understand the spatio temporal evolution of the sand rim of Ghar El Melah. The methodology is based on a multi-criteria approach: a sedimentological analysis allowing a textural characterization of the sediments of the lido of the lagoon, completed by a modal statistical analysis which identifies the Sedimentary Types (ST) and a quantification of the wind flow A total of 37 samples surface was collected and 28 samples collected by the sand traps at the level of the sandy rim (lido) of Ghar El Melah, Gulf of Tunis, Mediterranean. The sedimentological study reveals that most of the sediments (97%) are sandy types and 3% belong to the silty facies. The collected sediments are mainly unimodal (Mo = 0, 16) showing homogeneous sandy facies with medium to fine sands with a value of Mz between 1.96 and 2.97 Phi, well to very well classified with a value of the standard deviation varying between 0.11 and 0, 40 Phi. Statistical modal analysis shows that sandy sediments are formed by a mixture of four sedimentary types STI 86%, STII 9%, STIII 3% and STIV 2%. The mixture of this type of sediment present at the level of the lido of the lagoon testifies to the origin of the sediments of the beach. This proves that the sediments come from the terrigenous contribution of Medjerda and from the action of hydrodynamic forces (waves, currents, and swells). The quantification of the wind flow shows that the lido of Ghar El Melah is subject to strong turbulence and erosion, the method used consists in quantifying the mass of particles set in motion by the wind. It is characterized by a wind direction NNW which exceeds 10 m/s in certain cases. The highest threshold speed of movement which swept the ground during the measurement of the flow is 0.0022 Kg/m/min with a speed of 0.639 m/s although the wind speed causing the movement of the sands is slowed down by various factors such as the width and the morphology of the beach, the slope and the topography, the granulometry of the sediments, etc. the validation of experimental results with the empirical and semi-empirical formulas shows that the most suitable formula in our sector is that of Zingg (1953).

    Description: Sandy barriers are coastal features formed and reworked by terrestrial and marine-induced processes along decadal to millenary scale periods. In the semi-arid areas along the extended North African coast, these coastal landscapes are undergoing accelerated morphodynamical changes induced by intensifying anthropogenic and climate drivers in the last century. To quantify the latter, we assess the changes in sediment dynamics of the Ghar El Melh sandy barrier extended over the northern part of the Gulf of Tunis in Tunisia using sedimentological analysis and quantification of the aeolian flux. A total of 37 subsurface samples and 30 surface aeolian trapped ones were collected at the coastal dunes of Ghar El Melh. Our sedimentological analysis reveals a distribution of 97% of sandy sediments and 3% of silty facies. The modal statistical analysis suggests that there are three distinguishable sediment types with 87% of samples formed by fine sands with modal value of 0.16 mm. The mixture of these indicates mixed terrigenous and marine sources redistributed by the hydrodynamic processes. The measurement of the aeolian flow suggests a maximum value of 0.0022 kg.m.-1min-1 which occurs in dust storms. This study reveals the low detrital sand supplies to the lagoon-sea barrier of Ghar El Melh, results in its gradual submersion, further exposing the coastal lagoon and engendering severe ecological degradations.

    Description: Trees structure the Earth's most biodiverse ecosystem, tropical forests. The vast number of tree species presents a formidable challenge to understanding these forests, including their response to environmental change, as very little is known about most tropical tree species. A focus on the common species may circumvent this challenge. Here we investigate abundance patterns of common tree species using inventory data on 1,003,805 trees with trunk diameters of at least 10 cm across 1,568 locations1-6 in closed-canopy, structurally intact old-growth tropical forests in Africa, Amazonia and Southeast Asia. We estimate that 2.2%, 2.2% and 2.3% of species comprise 50% of the tropical trees in these regions, respectively. Extrapolating across all closed-canopy tropical forests, we estimate that just 1,053 species comprise half of Earth's 800 billion tropical trees with trunk diameters of at least 10 cm. Despite differing biogeographic, climatic and anthropogenic histories7, we find notably consistent patterns of common species and species abundance distributions across the continents. This suggests that fundamental mechanisms of tree community assembly may apply to all tropical forests. Resampling analyses show that the most common species are likely to belong to a manageable list of known species, enabling targeted efforts to understand their ecology. Although they do not detract from the importance of rare species, our results open new opportunities to understand the world's most diverse forests, including modelling their response to environmental change, by focusing on the common species that constitute the majority of their trees.
