Abstract:

AbstractIn order to recast scholarly understanding of scientific cosmopolitanism during the French Revolution, this essay examines the stories of the natural-history collections of the Dutch Stadholder and the French naturalist Labillardière that were seized as war booty. The essay contextualizes French and British savants' responses to the seized collections within their respective understandings of the relationship between science and state and of the property rights associated with scientific collections, and definitions of war booty that antedated modern transnational legal conventions. The essay argues that the French and British savants' responses to seized natural-history collections demonstrate no universal approach to their treatment. Nonetheless, it contends that the French and British approaches to these collections reveal the emergence in the 1790s of new forms of scientific nationalism that purported to be cosmopolitan – French scientific universalism and British liberal scientific improvement.

Abstract:

French culture in 18th c. Poland on the basis of the Jagiellonian Library French manuscripts collection The article discusses the presence of French culture in Poland during the 18th century, specifically focusing on the presence of the French language based on a collection of French manuscripts stored in the Jagiellonian Library. Various types of texts are cov- ered here (political, diplomatic, administrative, as well as private correspondence, trav- el journals, scientific treatises, texts relevant to the study of Polish history, etc.) that are preserved in the Jagiellonian Library’s manuscript collection, authored or copied by Poles. The French manuscripts found in these collections are mainly of “Polish” origin, created in Poland; they were written by Poles and they vividly demonstrate the signifi- cant role played by the French language and French culture during the mentioned period.

Abstract:

Several recent papers have reviewed the life and work of French herpetologist Louis Amédée Lantz. They have detailed the composition of his collections deposited in several museums. However, since then, several other important specimens from his collections deposited at the Natural History Museum (NHM, UK) have come to light and we here present all of them in detail. We discovered paralectotypes of Lacerta saxicola obscura Lantz & Cyrén (BMNH 1918.11.21.5–7), syntypes of Lacerta boemica Sukhov (BMNH 1960.1.4.26–30, BMNH 1965.337–342) and Lacerta viridis media Lantz & Cyrén (BMNH 1960.1.4.25, 1966.512). We also identified numerous specimens from the French Mediterranean islands in Lantz’s collection deposited at the NHM, some of which represent the first reported specimens of their species from certain islands. We here provide data on all these specimens. We also place the Mediterranean island specimens from the Lantz collection in their historical context and emphasize the historical and taxonomic value of these collections.

Full text

Abstract:

AbstractBetween 1549 and 1560, French Petrarchan sonnet sequences proliferated in the wake of Du Bellay'sDefense and Illustration of the French Tongueand Ronsard'sAmours. Yet this proliferation relied on a remarkable economy of means, in large part due to the constant recycling of metaphors, tropes, and forms. In fact, the genre can be read as a cost-efficient system that addressed the economic anxiety of a generation of poets caught between the aspiration to impose the autonomy of their art and their social dependence on a patron. It also preemptively solved the potential credit crisis that could have resulted from having had to borrow from the Italians in order to establish a new French canon. Looking at Ronsard, Du Bellay, and Ellain, this essay examines French Petrarchan collections as complex lyric economies that manufacture and negotiate aesthetic, literary, monetary, and national values.

Abstract:

Dogs produce fewer sperm than other species. Furthermore, for French Bulldogs, anatomical peculiarities, low libido, and increased sensitivity to stress could cause further reductions in sperm count. The objective was to compare effects of semen collection at 24- versus 48-h intervals on semen quality of French Bulldogs. Five purebred French Bulldogs, 19 to 48 months old, were subjected to 5 semen collections (24 h apart). After a 30-day rest, collections were repeated, but the interval between collections was 48 h. Semen was collected (all 3 fractions) by digital manipulation without female stimuli. Volume was measured in a 20-mL syringe. Sperm concentration was determined with a Neubauer counting chamber. Motility and vigor were evaluated with a coverslipped drop of semen on a slide (preheated to 37°C). Motility was expressed as a percentage of motile sperm, and vigor was classified on a scale of 1 to 5. Morphology was evaluated by the panoptic method; 100 cells were counted and results expressed as the percentage of normal or defective cells. Effects of collection interval were analysed using PROC MIXED of SAS (animal as subject and collection as a repeated measure), with collections 2 to 5 compared with collection 1 (using the DIFF option). For collection every 24 h, the third, fourth, and fifth sperm collections were lower than the first collection for volume (10.4 ± 1.1, 8.3 ± 1.1, 5.6 ± 1.1, 3.5 ± 1.1, 2.4 ± 1.1 mL), concentration (437 ± 24, 448 ± 24, 370 ± 24, 322 ± 27, 258 ± 31 ×106 sperm mL–1), vigor (4.6 ± 0.2, 4.2 ± 0.2, 3.6 ± 0.2, 3.7 ± 0.2, 3 ± 0.2), and morphologically normal sperm (82 ± 2.2, 83 ± 2.2, 72 ± 2.2, 68 ± 2.5, 66 ± 2.9%). However, when the interval was increased to 48 h, only the fourth and fifth collections were lower (P < 0.05) than the first for volume (11.8 ± 1.1, 10.2 ± 1.1, 8.8 ± 1.1, 6.6 ± 1.1, 2.5 ± 1.1 mL), concentration (447 ± 24, 410 ± 24, 407 ± 24, 322 ± 24, 241 ± 31 ×106 sperm mL–1), vigor (5 ± 0.2, 4.8 ± 0.2, 4.4 ± 0.2, 4.2 ± 0.2, 4 ± 0.2), and sperm with normal morphology (92 ± 2.2, 90 ± 2.2, 87 ± 2.2, 80 ± 2.2, 81 ± 2.9%). Motility decreased (P < 0.05) following the fourth collection at 24-h intervals and decreased (P < 0.05) after the third collection at 48-h intervals. With a 24-h interval, 4 dogs had <60% motility lower at the fifth collection, whereas only 2 dogs had motility <60% on the fifth collection at 48-h intervals. In conclusion, semen collected at 48-h intervals was of better quality than semen collected at 24-h intervals.

Abstract:

The French National Research Institute for Agriculture, Food and the Environment (INRAE) conserves and distributes five vegetable collections as seeds: the aubergine* (in this article the word aubergine refers to eggplant), pepper, tomato, melon and lettuce collections, together with their wild or cultivated relatives, are conserved in Avignon, France. Accessions from the collections have geographically diverse origins, are generally well-described and fixed for traits of agronomic or scientific interest and have available passport data. In addition to currently conserving over 10,000 accessions (between 900 and 3000 accessions per crop), the centre maintains scientific collections such as core collections and bi- or multi-parental populations, which have also been genotyped with SNP markers. Each collection has its own merits and highlights, which are discussed in this review: the aubergine collection is a rich source of crop wild relatives of Solanum; the pepper, melon and lettuce collections have been screened for resistance to plant pathogens, including viruses, fungi, oomycetes and insects; and the tomato collection has been at the heart of genome-wide association studies for fruit quality traits and environmental stress tolerance.

Abstract:

Dietmar Rieger’s publications on medieval literature are vast and expansive, covering a range of genres and languages. This volume brings together nineteen essays, seventeen of which were previously published in journals, Festschriften, or collections of essays, all of which have been updated and some translated here into French for the ease of a French-reading public, i.e.,scholars in the discipline of French literature, especially those whose mastery of German is not strong (of the original languages of the essays, eight were first published in French, eight in German; the one Italian essay remains in Italian). Two additional essays are published here for the first time. The collection follows a similar earlier volume of articles by Rieger, Chanter et dire: Etudes sur la littérature du Moyen Age (Paris: Champion, 1997).

Abstract:

The article focuses on two collectors – Nélie Jacquemart André, who was French, and Isabella Stewart Gardner, who was American. Both ladies created fascinating collections at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries including a wide range of art objects from different periods. The core of these private collections was the art of the Italian Renaissance. The study deals with the questions of the formation of these sets of Renaissance works of art, methods of acquisitions, the nature of collection objects, and especially installation principles applied in two museum collections that are now publicly accessible – the Musée Jacquemart-André in Paris and the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston.

Abstract:

Abstract This article examines little-known French collections of hinagata bon (Japanese pattern books) kept at the Musée des arts décoratifs in Paris, whose origins can be traced back to the travels of the first japonistes to Japan in the middle of the nineteenth century. The reception of these books by the French artists, collectors, and writers, who identified, analyzed, exhibited, and then preserved them for artistic, encyclopedic, and historical purposes, reveals the fascination the patterns and the cut of Japanese clothing held for early japonistes. Hinagata bon were originally intended for the textile industry, but in France served primarily to inspire artists and designers of every kind. Moreover, the books were also appreciated for their aesthetic value, which enables us to assess the role of japonistes in the conservation of Japanese fashion images.

This paper attempts to examine nineteenth-century French skull collections and to shed light on how, why, and when they came to play such a significant intellectual role in physical anthropology. It also seeks to analyze the notion of series of skulls and the sequential arrangement of skulls. It argues that this sort of collection gained particular relevance in Republican France, where the cult of dead bodies was replaced by the secular cult of bones.

Full text

Abstract:

This article seeks to contribute to a revisionist account of the role of the British state and the nation in building the British Museum's early antique collections. Traditionally, there has been a perception that, in contrast especially to France, the British national collections of antiquities were formed primarily by private individuals donating objects, while the state looked on with indifference, or, at best, occasionally bought antiquities on the cheap from enterprising travellers or diplomats. Yet, the scale and quality of the British Museum's collections owe much to the power and reach of the British military and imperial state. The harnessing of political, diplomatic, and military resources to archaeological work, the dovetailing of private and public efforts, and a strong element of international, especially Anglo-French, competition added up to a substantial programme of public patronage. This is easily ignored by approaches that only consider (continental European) ideal types of public patronage, such as Napoleon's Egyptian Commission on the Sciences and Arts. The article sketches the chronological and geographical unfolding of state-supported archaeological activities around the Mediterranean and the Near East, and considers the connections between archaeology and diplomacy, the different modes of collection building, and the origins of debates about preservation and spoliation.

Abstract:

AbstractTaking advantage of the venue in Paris of the Third Mosasaur Meeting (May 2010), the mosasaur collections of the Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle (MNHN) have been entirely checked and revised. The French holotypes have all been restored and most specimens kept at the MNHN have been placed in the Paleontology Gallery as part as a small exhibition organized especially for the meeting. The MNHN mosasaur collections include specimens from the 18th, 19th and 20th century from France, The Netherlands, Belgium, the United States of America, Morocco, Syria, Jordan, Egypt and Niger. Most of the mosasaur specimens discovered in France – including most holotypes – are kept in Paris. Besides the French types, the MNHN collections include several important historical specimens from abroad, the most famous being undoubtedly the Cuvier’s ‘Grand Animal Fossile des Carrières de Maestricht’, type specimen of Mosasaurus hoffmanniMantell, 1829, recognized as the first mosasaur to be named. This work aims to briefly present most of these specimens, with special focus on those found in France. The MNHN mosasaurid collections as a whole reflects the development of palaeontological researches in this Institution, from its foundation at the end of the 18th century up to the present time.

Abstract The mass digitization efforts associated with the e-COL+ project, focusing on French natural history collections, provide an invaluable opportunity to reassess the need to build a comprehensive 3D digital collection to complement existing 2D digital repositories. This article explores the importance of incorporating 3D data into digital collections, highlighting its significant impact on scientific research, conservation efforts, and public outreach campaigns. Although the e-COL+ project faces practical obstacles related to digitization, it also raises important theoretical questions about the complex interplay between physical and digital objects. Here, we challenge the concepts of digital clone and digital twin that are commonly used in the construction of digital collections. The digital twin concept more accurately captures the intricate and adaptive connection between physical and digital entities that results from the precise digitization techniques used and the evolving characteristics of the specimens found in natural history collections.

Abstract:

The study of the language of publication of folklore offers a unique perspective on the sociolinguistic history of regional languages in 19th century France as well as on the wider cultural context of contemporary folklore collection. Regional languages had a subordinate sociolinguistic status vis-à-vis French, yet they had preserved a richer folklore heritage, which, during the golden age of folklore collection, was also considered to be a valuable part of French national cultural heritage. The fact that the folktales of regional languages were often published first or only in French translation reflects both the hegemonic position of French and the prevailing contemporary perception of folktales primarily as a universal human cultural inheritance rather than as the literary heritage of specific cultures; folktale publications were typically aimed at a wider national readership and the perceived universal content – tale types and motifs – was considered more important than the linguistic form and cultural context. However, the fact that folktale and above all folksong collections were also published in the original regional languages shows that there was a genuine choice of language of publication. The publication of folktales only in translation was controversial because the lack of original texts – as well as a lack of transparency concerning the collection process – potentially undermined the authenticity of the published folklore. The publication of folklore only in translation also resulted in the loss of an important part of the cultural heritage of the regional languages and its effective appropriation as French national and French language cultural heritage.

Abstract:

At the turn of 2017 and 2018, with the date 2017 printed in the colophon, two catalogues of engravings’ collections were published: old Italian prints from the collection of the National Museum in Wrocław, and French prints from the National Museum in Szczecin. The collection of Wrocław contains groups of artworks by the best Italian engravers from the Renaissance to the 18th century, and a small representation of the 19th century. An introduction to the catalogue gives the history, the scope and the contents of the collection as well as the brief history of the engraving art on the Apennine Peninsula. The catalogue itself is glossed, giving references to the latest research, preceded by biographical notes of encyclopaedic character. This well illustrated and thoroughly edited catalogue, organised in a user-friendly alphabetical order, is a compendium useful not only for art historians. The catalogue published by the National Museum in Szczecin has the same title as the exhibition of French engravings from its collection. It is a combination of both the exhibition and the collection catalogue. Hence its specific layout corresponding rather with the narration of an exhibition than a catalogue’s criteria. Both the encyclopaedic profiles of artists and the following glosses are accompanied by selected bibliography; its full version together with extensive academic references can be found at the end of the volume. The collection of over 600 prints has been divided not in alphabetical or chronological order but in accordance with an academic hierarchy of subjects. Engravings for art reproduction purposes prevail in Szczecin collection although original works of famous artists are also included. The publication of both catalogues allows us to learn more about the engravings in Polish public collections, i.e. the ones of national museum in Szczecin and Wrocław. It also gives the history of Polish collections after 1945, affected by the previous losses of the World War II. Undoubtedly, the sign of the times and the presence of Poland in the united Europe is the publication of the Italian engravings’ collection from Wrocław, which was kept before in the Academy of Arts in Berlin. Great care has been taken to prepare both catalogues in terms of their typography, although the illustrations in the French engravings’ catalogue would be of more benefit if were somewhat larger.

The fragment collections of the Norwegian and Danish National Archives and the Royal Library in Copenhagen hold thousands of remnants of manuscripts, an invaluable source of knowledge of medieval book culture. The entwined history of Norway and Denmark represents a potential methodological challenge, as fragments from the same manuscript can sometimes be found scattered among collections in the two countries. This article examines such a case, showing how a single fragment from a twelfth-century missal in the National Archives in Norway was matched with several fragments in the Danish collections. The identifications, which were rendered possible by increased access to digital images, provide new insights into the missal’s likely origin and medieval provenance, putting us on the trail of an important Danish scriptorium.

Abstract:

AbstractLittle is known about the history of the first collections of French royal statutory law which appeared towards the end of the 15th century and the beginning of the 16th century. Étienne Aufréri's Tractatus ordinationum regiarum, one of the first collections to appear in print (1513–1514) and the first methodical collection of the kind, sheds some light on those early developments. The history of the collection (viz. its authorship, date and successive versions), its structure and its character (as a distinctive type of legal work, with its specific subject-matter and drafting technique) show that it was a learned undertaking at a time when the Toulouse Parlement (i.e. the supreme regional court of justice) was establishing its own particular tradition of records and when the royal procedural system was asserting its predominance.

Abstract:

Scholars have long been aware of the intriguing fact that the late fourteenth- and early fifteenth-century French song repertory survives almost exclusively in non-French sources. Most of the principal collections of chansons copied between c.1380 and 1420 – that is, in the period corresponding roughly to the reign of Charles VI, sources like PR, Pit, ModA and FP – derive from Italy; further witness to the circulation of this repertory south of the Alps is found in additional, fragmentary sources, such as Lu, SL and GR. In comparison, the number of French songs preserved in manuscripts of northern provenance is remarkably slight. Moreover, those works that do survive in such sources (and these are mostly Flemish fragments) are generally simple works in classic Ars nova style; hardly any songs from the repertory we associate with Ars subtilior feature in these collections at all.

Abstract:

From her early youth Izabella Działyńska, née Czartoryska, daughter of Prince Adam Czartoryski and Anna Zofia Sapieha, collected artistic crafts, prints and relics of ancient cultures. In the 1880s, she transported her collections from Hôtel Lambert in Paris (which belonged to her after death of her parents) to Gołuchów in Greater Poland. She established there – among other things, to secure the collection – the Princes Czartoryski entail, which after her childless death was taken over by the sons of her brother, Prince Władysław Czartoryski. In the 1890s, Izabella Działyńska took care of the scientific development of her collections. At that time, catalogs of her collections in the form of exclusive illustrated albums, developed by French researchers Émile Molinier and Wilhelm Froehner, appeared in Paris. In Poland, such publications were a rarity. In Paris, which Izabella Czartoryska was associated with all her life, employing Louvre curators and experts in the field of art history for the scientific development of the collection was a very popular practice in the second half of the nineteenth century. Catalogs of private collections were part of the scientific achievements of art historians. The text describes the following issues: relations between the collector and the art historian working for him in the second half of the 19th century, scientific development of private collections, and employing museum curators to develop private collections.

Abstract:

Abstract: The Old French Vie des Pères (First Collection) was one of the highly popular religious collections of late medieval religious narratives. The First Collection, consisting of the first 42 tales, dates from ca. 1215 and 1230. The following 32 tales have survived in two groups, the first being the Second Collection consisting of 19 tales from after 1241, and the Third Collection, consisting of the final 13 tales, from ca. 1250. Adrian P. Tudor had re-published the first group in 2005, and Paul Bretel now presents a modern French translation. All these tales go back, of course, to the late antique Vitae Patrum and present the glory and heroism of the early Desert Fathers, offering many insights into their lives and personal experiences in practical and spiritual terms (hermits or cenobites). There are, however, numerous references to the contemporary monastic situation, giving particular credit to the Cistercians. Altogether, the Vitae Patrum

Abstract:

The 17th to 18th centuries marked the beginning of cultural exchange between China and the West, during which Jesuit missionaries played a significant role. They introduced the latest Western thoughts and scientific advancements to China while providing detailed descriptions of China in their letters sent back to Europe. Additionally, they translated many Chinese texts, with French Jesuits contributing the most influential works. Among these translations were various collections of Tang poetry translated into French. In the 19th century, the first collection of Tang poetry in French was published in France. Subsequently, an increasing number of French translators, sinologists, and Chinese scholars became involved in the translation of Tang poetry, enriching the variety of French translations. The translation and dissemination of Tang poetry in France have become an important aspect of Sino-French cultural exchange, garnering attention from numerous scholars. While there have been significant research contributions from scholars in both countries, much of the work has been conducted from a macro view, lacking micro-level studies focused on specific periods of Tang poetry, particularly regarding the poetry of the High Tang period. In light of this, this paper organizes and analyzes different versions of French translations of Tang poetry, primarily selecting works by prominent High Tang poets such as Li Bai, Du Fu, and Wang Wei. Through comparative analysis, the paper aims to explore how the translations reflect the French translators' understanding of High Tang poetry and the cultural concepts behind them.

Abstract:

Should a collection of prints and graphic materials include only items of undoubted artistic worth, or can it also include items which are valued primarily as historical evidence and because they vividly illustrate the past? This question is raised by the variety of materials accumulated in the graphic collections of the Biblioteka Jagiellonska in Cracow, ranging as they do from artists’ prints to photographs and postcards, and including a unique collection of material arising from the political struggle in Poland during the 1980s. Typically, graphic collections accumulate by gift and chance, without any intention that they should serve only a single aim; since visual images of all kinds lend themselves to being looked at and used in different ways, a visual collection, especially in a public library, should serve many purposes and a wide range of users.

Abstract:

French interest in India and neighbouring regions dates back to the 17th century. Oriental studies developed as a distinct discipline through the 19th century, stimulated in France by French colonial activities in Indochina, and culminating at the end of the century in the emergence of Oriental art and archaeology as a subject in its own right. The Commission Archéologique de l’Indochine was established in 1898, and became the Ecole Francaise d’Extrême-Orient (EFEO) in 1901 with responsibility for listing and protecting antiquities in the French colonies; its library in Paris constitutes a major resource. France’s relationship with Afghanistan facilitated French archaeological activities in that country until 1975; archaeological finds enabled the Musée Guimet to extend its scope and to become a museum of Asiatic art, and its library became and remains the major library in Paris so far as Asian art is concerned. The library of the Ecole du Louvre supports courses on Asian art, while the Bibliothèque Nationale and such libraries as the Bibliothèque Forney also contain valuable collections. Photographic collections in some of these institutions have not been so well looked after as books, and their condition is a matter of concern. Unpublished archival materials are also held in some of the same institutions. The resources of a number of smaller, specialised institutes are currently being brought together in a new building under the name ‘Institute d’Asie du Collège de France’, while some other collections are being linked with the library of the EFEO to create a ‘Bibliothèque d’Asie’. Meanwhile it remains to be seen whether the new Bibliothèque Nationale des Arts will include the arts of Asia within its scope. No library in France has responsibility for modern Indian art.

Abstract:

Abstract. Relying on recent sociolinguistic research, this paper questions some generally accepted ideas concerning the French spoken by Walloons and Brussels Francophones. In particular, it is shown that the observation of real linguistic usage does not allow one to postulate the existence of a variant like "Standard Belgian French", "Walloon French" or "Brussels French". Contrary to what is implied by naive collections of so-called "Belgicisms", any possible definition of "Belgian French" in terms of specific linguistic features is doomed to failure, because similar phenomena can be registered in other French-speaking areas. On the other hand, Walloons and Brussels Francophones often assume a kind of "identity by substraction" grounded on their own representation of " Belgian French" as a variant devoid of any normative legitimacy. Yet, it is argued here that sociolinguistic changes currently in progress will favour the emergence of an endogenous regional norm.

Twelve species of Fasciolaria and Aurantilaria (Fasciolariinae), Aristofusus, Lyonsifusus and Fusinus s.l. (Fusininae), and Lamellilatirus and Polygona (Peristerniinae) are reported and discussed. Nine species are represented in expedition collections, and reports of three other species are evaluated. Two morphologically distinct species of Lamellilatirus are described as new; type localities of both are off French Guiana, 114–118 m. Ten Guianan fasciolariids range variously northward to Caribbean South America and the Lesser Antilles and southward to Ceará, Brazil; one other extends into the northern Caribbean, and one extends southward to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Full text

Abstract:

This article offers a study and critical edition of a group of passages (here called the “Schism Extracts”) that were compiled from the apocalyptic prophecies of Hildegard of Bingen and heavily annotated in response to the Great Western Schism (1378–1417). The article argues that the Extracts were created by someone with ties to the University of Paris to illuminate a French perspective on the Schism and that they circulated primarily within a Parisian milieu—both among masters at the university and among members of religious houses in and around Paris. The article outlines the main contents and themes of the Extracts and the manuscript contexts in which they are found, including five prophecy collections. While one prophecy collection is known to have been compiled by the Parisian master Simon du Bosc, it is here argued that three of the other collections were produced by Pierre d'Ailly or someone within his circle of associates. Many of the prophetic writings selected for these collections thematically concern the eschatological and reformist role of France and a future holy angelic pope (the pastor angelicus). These include the writings of John of Rupescissa, and parallels between the Extracts and John's reading of Hildegard suggest that the compiler of the text was well-versed in John's apocalyptic thought.

Abstract:

Abstract Within the framework of studies concerning the importance of European manuscript collections for Ibadi history, this article aims at retracing the history of an archive put together by the French scholar Auguste Bossoutrot (1856–1937). This archive gathered a quantity of materials on the Arabic and Berber languages collected during his life. In particular, some of the manuscripts contain parts of a long religious work in Berber (Kitāb al-Barbariyya), discovered in the island of Djerba (Tunisia) among the Ibadi community of the island towards the end of the nineteenth century. This text was firstly discovered and reported to the scientific community by another French scholar, A. De Calassanti-Motylinski (1854–1907), but his untimely death prevented him from publishing it and the whereabouts of the manuscripts that contained it remained unknown until the discovery of Bossoutrot’s papers, which contained the longest extant copy of the work (about 900 pages).

Abstract:

Abstract From the nineteenth century, Sydney’s Art Gallery of New South Wales has been a marker of cultural ambition in Australia. This paper critically considers five large French paintings purchased at the end of the nineteenth century at significant expense by the gallery. Feted by contemporaries as examples of the French academic style, they formed part of plans to develop a representative collection to further understanding of art in the colony and, over time, they have taken on a rich role in the collective cultural memory. Through close examination of these paintings, their historical reception, criticism, reproduction and traces in the gallery’s archives this article reveals a history of taste, class and the formation of the cultural value of art. Using an object-based approach, it positions these works as evidence of changing cultural ideas within the context of a state collection to offer new insight into their status, the gallery itself, and the multiple roles of public art collections.

Abstract:

Purpose – The paper of this paper is to explore the usage patterns of e-journals in French business schools. Design/methodology/approach – The paper exploits COUNTER-compliant usage statistics from a nationwide usage study with data from journal collections of an international academic publisher. Findings – With regard to online collections, the usage appears to be relatively intensive, especially when compared to usage statistics from universities in the same fields. This result may reflect an emerging research activity in business schools and a projected and required international orientation. However, the study also reveals important differences between schools, a fact that should not be overestimated because of the small sample size, even if the sample is a representative of French business schools. Research limitations/implications – The paper uses empirical data from a national usage study to identify specific patterns in business schools. It does not integrate qualitative survey data or deep log file analysis. Originality/value – Very few studies provide empirical evidence of e-journal usage in business schools. The paper enhances the knowledge on usage in specific environments in higher education. This is the first usage study with French business schools.
