Vulnerable China¢ÎStudies¡XProfessor Jean-Pierre Cabestan and CEFCPai, Ting-Ting 13 July 2010 (has links)
The emergence of French Center for Research on Contemporary China (CEFC) in 1992, one of the 27 overseas research centers under the direction of French Ministry of Foreign Affairs, shows that the French government is eager to understand contemporary China. Because of the location of CEFC, it can provide a headquarter for researchers from France or European countries to spread their research activities and forms a local academic network, then let them exchange ideas with others. Then a new way of China studies with diversity in the research issues, methods and fields takes shape.
This research introduces the history of CEFC and the distinguished features of its periodical ¡§China Perspectives¡¨ through the information from some manuscripts of interviews and the researches of the former director Jean-Pierre Cabestan as a representative to show the character of researches of CEFC. Comparing to some China studies in other dominant countries, e.g. USA, Japan and other European countries, CEFC evokes a Vulnerable China Studies that means a softer and more flexible way. Every researcher through CEFC can use their own way to go into China, discuss China and understand the latest changes in China. Then they can shape the characteristic research approach that differs from the past.

Giovanni Poleni (1683-1761) et l'Académie Royale des Sciences de Paris / Giovanni Poleni (1683-1761) and the Royal Academy of Sciences in ParisLe Gall, Céline 25 November 2017 (has links)
Cette thèse présente les traductions des trois traités de navigation écrits en latin (et restés à ce jour inédits) par Giovanni Poleni, professeur de mathématiques, physique, astronomie, philosophie mécanique expérimentale, navigation et construction navale à l’université de Padoue : La meilleure manière de mesurer sur mer le chemin d’un vaisseau, indépendamment des observations astronomiques (1733), Dissertations latines sur les ancres portant sur La figure optimale selon laquelle les ancres peuvent être formées, De la technique la plus performante pour forger les ancres, La manière d’éprouver la force des ancres, soit leur résistance (1737), le troisième traité concerne l’amélioration de l’usage du cabestan : De Ergatae Navalis praestabiliore, facilioreque Usu, Dissertatio (1741). Ces trois traités furent primés par l’Académie Royale des Sciences de Paris (prix Rouillé de Meslay). Un corpus traduit de la correspondance latine de Poleni avec les savants européens, la traduction des programmes latins de ses cours de navigation ainsi qu’une enquête in situ à Venise, Vérone ou à Padoue furent nécessaires pour contextualiser les traités. La reconstitution grandeur nature de deux machines de navigation de Poleni : le cabestan et la machine pour mesurer la force du vent, réalisée par des étudiants de BTS Développement Réalisation Bois et des élèves de CAP Serrurerie Métallerie furent testées en mer. Le premier volume propose une biographie de Giovanni Poleni, les « appels à projets » de l’Académie Royale des Sciences de Paris (1733-1741), les traductions commentées des trois traités de Poleni ainsi que la reconstitution de ses machines. Le second tome regroupe les fac-similés des manuscrits ou des imprimés originaux de l’universitaire padouan. / This doctoral thesis presents the translation of the three shipping essays written in latin (and never translated until now) by Giovanni Poleni, professor of mathematics, physics, astronomy, mechanical and experimental philosophy, shipping and shipbuilding in the University of Padua: La meilleure manière de mesurer sur mer le chemin d’un vaisseau, indépendamment des observations astronomiques (1733), Dissertations latines sur les ancres about La figure optimale selon laquelle les ancres peuvent être formées, De la technique la plus performante pour forger les ancres, La manière d’éprouver la force des ancres, soit leur résistance (1737), the third essay relates how to improve the use of the ship's capstan: De Ergatae Navalis praestabiliore, facilioreque Usu, Dissertatio (1741).These three essays were rewarded by the Royal Academy of Sciences in Paris (prize Rouillé de Meslay). A translated corpus of the Poleni's latin correspondence with the others European scholars, the translation of the latin programmes of his shipping courses and an on-site survey in Venice, Verona and Padua were required in order to contextualize the essays. The full-scale reconstruction of Poleni’s shipping machines: the capstan and the machine to measure the wind force, made by the students of BTS Development Achievement Wood and the pupils of CAP Metal Forming and Ironwork were tested in sea. The first volume provides a biography of Giovanni Poleni, the “Calls forProjects” of the Royal Academy of Sciences in Paris (1733-1741), the translations commented of the Poleni’s three shipping essays and the reconstruction of his shipping machines. The second one collects the manuscripts or original printouts' facsimile written by the Paduan academic.
