Dans l’histoire de l’estampe, l’étude de la lithographie en province a longtemps été négligée et les premierstravaux fondateurs datent seulement d’une quarantaine d’années. L’objet de cette thèse en histoire de l’art est decombler cette lacune en analysant, dans un esprit d’interdisciplinarité ouvert à l’histoire économique et sociale, lalithographie en Bretagne historique de 1819 à 1914.Cette recherche s’appuie d’abord sur l’étude de l’imprimerie lithographique. Après un panorama généralsur l’évolution du nombre d’ateliers et leur répartition géographique, les centres lithographiques principaux etsecondaires sont étudiés. L’imprimerie autographique qui, en parallèle, s’implante et concurrence les atelierslithographiques est analysée, comme les imprimeries lithographiques sur fer-blanc, une particularité bretonne.Au-delà de cette étude historique, le chapitre suivant dresse le portrait des acteurs de l’imprimerie et de laproduction lithographique comme leur environnement social. C’est un monde où se mêlent l’artiste peintre,l’artiste lithographe de profession, l’amateur de dessin, l’imprimeur et l’ouvrier. La réalité du monde de l’estampeest abordée dans le troisième chapitre, avec un coup de projecteur sur l’atelier et sur l’histoire matérielle de lalithographie (presses et matrices). L’atelier est ensuite appréhendé comme un espace de vie autonome avec sesfêtes et ses codes, garants de la cohésion ouvrière. Une unité renforcée avec la création des syndicats delithographes dans la seconde moitié du XIXe siècle.Grâce à l’établissement d’un inventaire des lithographies, fondé sur le dépouillement du dépôt légal etdes fonds publics d’estampes, l’analyse de la production lithographique imprimée en Bretagne révèle unediversité thématique insoupçonnée. La lithographie artistique à la feuille, en recueils ou en albums illustrés estanalysée sous l’angle stylistique et iconographique. Enfin, l’étude de la lithographie utilitaire et des boîtes en ferblanclithographié clôt ce chapitre. Le commerce de l’estampe, qui constitue le dernier maillon du circuit de laproduction, est retracé avec ses marchands, une profession en mutation au XIXe siècle, ses colporteurs et autresvendeurs occasionnels. Enfin, la question de la diffusion de l’estampe en Bretagne est abordée comme le marchéet la place de la lithographie bretonne dans un réseau national et international. / In the history of print, the study of lithography in province has long been neglected. The first founding worksonly date back to the last forty years. The purpose of this thesis on the history of art is to address this shortcomingby analysing lithography in historical Brittany between 1819 and 1914 bearing an interdisciplinarity mind open toeconomic and social history.Initially this research will be based on the study of lithographic printing. Following a general overviewon the evolution of the number of workshops and their geographical breakdown, leading and secondarylithographic centres are being considered. On the other hand, autographic printing which established itself andcame into competition with the lithographic workshops is being analysed with an emphasis on tin-plate printingworkshops being a characteristic feature of Brittany. Beyond this historical study, the following chapter paints aportrait of the printers and that of the lithographic production scene which being a social environment. It is aworld whereby the painter mingles with the professional lithographer, the drawing lover, the printer and thecraftsman. The reality of the printing world is being addressed in the third chapter with a particular focus on theworkshop and the history of the equipment specific to printing (plates and moulds). Subsequently the workshop isseen as a world in its own right with its celebrations and codes responsible for the working cohesion. This unitywill be accentuated in the second half of the XIX century with the constitution of lithographers unions. Thanksto the creation of a lithographs inventory drawn upon the austerity regarding registration of copyright and printpublic funds, the analysis of the print production in Brittany reveals an unexpected thematic diversity. The artisticprint on sheet, collections or illustrated albums is analysed from a stylistic and iconographic point of view.Finally, the study of useful lithography and the tin-box will bring this chapter to a close.Print trade which formsthe last link in the production chain is recounted through its merchants, a trade being transformed throughout XIXcentury, door-to-door and casual sellers. Lastly, the topic of the diffusion of print in Brittany is put forward asbeing the market place of Breton lithography within a national and international network.

Le recensement des tableaux du XVIIe siècle conservés dans les églises sarthoises a permis de constater une forte activité des peintres manceaux à cette époque, jusque là encore très mal connue. Pourtant, elle a contribué à l’élaboration d’une manière propre aux milieux artistiques manceaux d’alors qui ont su prolonger loin dans le siècle la séduction du maniérisme, sans pour autant raidir celui-ci. La prédominance, puis la persistance du maniérisme s’expliquent par l’immense diffusion de la gravure anversoise à la charnière des XVIe et XVIIe siècles. Plus tard, l’autorité des maîtres parisiens, italiens et flamands reposa sur la reproduction de leurs oeuvres par l’intermédiaire des estampes. Éloignée des grands foyers artistiques, la peinture mancelle était en général conservatrice et répétitive, cherchant tout d’abord à vivement frapper le fidèle. Les tableaux religieux de l’époque post tridentine étaient surtout des oeuvres fonctionnelles, limitées à l’interprétation stricte des scènes, et pour lesquels pouvaient suffire des talents médiocres, et où le recours à la copie était très courant. Cette thèse permet de constater que le milieu des peintres manceaux, tout en gardant ses particularités provinciales, fût dynamique, ouvert aux apports nouveaux et riche en personnalités intéressantes. Leurs oeuvres ont constitué une sorte de tournant dans la production régionale dont l’évolution a suivi les mêmes directions que les grands courants parisiens, quoique avec un écart inévitable. Sont d’abord étudiés la Commande, les Peintres, la Création, les OEuvres et l’Évolution de la peinture mancelle (I). Vient ensuite le Dictionnaire des peintres manceaux (II), et enfin le Catalogue des oeuvres (III). / The inventory of 17th-century paintings in churches in the département of Sarthe reveals that painters in Le Mans, hitherto little known, were prolific at that time. This hive of activity gave rise to an artistic scene in the province of Maine, in and around the city of Le Mans, which prolonged the style of mannerism well into the century, until it was replaced by the authority of Parisian, Italian and Flemish masters. A far cry from main artistic centres, Maine painting was generally conservative and repetitive. Above all, it sought to strike religious believers. Religious works by Maine painters during the post-Tridentine era were functional works, content to merely portray a scene. They required little or no talent and copying was very widespread. This thesis shows that the painting scene in and around Le Mans, although doggedly provincial, was dynamic, open to new contributions and full of interesting characters. Their work marked a turning point in regional production and its evolution followed the same trends as the major Parisian currents, albeit with an evitable delay. We shall examine commissioning, the artists, creation, works and the evolution of painting in Le Mans (I). This will be followed by the dictionary of Maine painters (II) and the catalogue of works (III).

[ES] La presente tesis doctoral lleva por título La estampa líquida. El tensioactivo como medio de expresión artístico. Reúne la investigación de diversos artistas, cuyas obras surgen a partir de las posibilidades creativas de un químico tensor. Son el reflejo de nuevas estrategias y de la incorporación de nuevos materiales como medio creativo contemporáneo, y que tomamos como referentes para la invención de un nuevo método de entintado calcográfico. Esta indagación toma como punto de partida los conceptos de tiempo y espacio, dos términos inherentes y complementarios, consecuencia directa del rastro y la huella derivada de una realidad social. La Modernidad líquida, categoría que define este estado actual y figura de cambio constante y de interinidad, acuñada por el sociólogo Zygmunt Bauman, nos sirve como metáfora para la interpretación de estos nuevos recursos. Del mismo modo, este ensayo recoge un análisis del diálogo permanente entre aquellos detalles cotidianos y desapercibidos, receptáculos contenedores de un devenir en forma de esfera, representación que adoptamos del filósofo Peter Sloterdijk. Realizamos también, una aproximación a lo que fue una revolución en las vanguardias en el mundo de la gráfica: La técnica de la simultaneidad del color, inventada por el artista británico Stanley William Hayter y proceso primigenio del que surge esta tesis. Asimismo, se examinan aquellas técnicas de creación pictóricas, afines a nuestro estudio experimental, de las cuales nos imbuimos directamente. Como resultado del estudio del efecto de transitoriedad tensioactiva, esta tesis propicia nuestra producción artística personal: Recuerdo del trayecto, que ilustra dicha evolución química a través del tiempo inmortalizado en forma de estampa. / [CA] La present tesi doctoral porta per títol L'estampa líquida. El tensioactiu com a mitjà d'expressió artístic. Reunix la investigació de diversos artistes, les obres dels quals sorgixen a partir de les possibilitats creatives d'un químic tensor. Són el reflex de noves estratègies i de la incorporació de nous materials com a mitjà d'expressió artístic contemporani, i que prenem com a referents per a la invenció d'un nou mitjà d'entintat calcogràfic. Aquesta indagació pren com a punt d'eixida els conceptes de temps i espai, dos termes inherents i complementaris, conseqüència directa del rastre i la petjada derivada d'una realitat social. La Modernitat líquida, categoria que defineix aquest estat actual i figura de canvi constant i de interinitat, encunyada pel sociòleg Zygmunt Bauman, ens servix com a metàfora per a la interpretació d'aquests nous recursos. De la mateixa manera, aquest assaig recull una anàlisi del diàleg permanent entre aquells detalls quotidians i desapercebuts, receptacles contenidors d'un esdevenir en forma d'esfera, representació que adoptem del filòsof Peter Sloterdijk. Realitzem també una aproximació al que va ser una revolució a les Avantguardes en el món de la gràfica: La tècnica de la simultaneitat del color, inventada per l'artista britànic Stanley William Hayter i procés primigeni del que sorgeix aquesta tesi. Així mateix, s'examinen aquelles tècniques de creació pictòriques, afins al nostre estudi experimental, de les quals ens inbuïm directament. Com a resultat de l'estudi de l'efecte de transitorietat tensioactiva, aquesta tesi propicia la nostra producció artística personal: Recuerdo del trayecto, que il·lustra l'esmentada evolució química a través del temps immortalitzat en forma d'estampa. / [IT] La presente tesi di dottorato si intitola La stampa liquida. Il tensioattivo come mezzo di espressione artistica. Nel nostro lavoro intendiamo riunire le ricerche di vari artisti, le cui opere nascono dalle possibilità creative di un tensore chimico. Esse riflettono le nuove strategie e l'incorporazione di nuovi materiali come mezzo creativo contemporaneo, che prendiamo come riferimento per l'invenzione di un nuovo metodo per inchiostrare la matrice calcografica. Questa indagine prende come punto di partenza i concetti di tempo e spazio, due termini intrinseci e complementari, conseguenze dirette e prodotti derivanti da una determinata realtà sociale. La Modernità Liquida, categoria riferita allo status quo della società contemporanea, che rappresenta in costante cambiamento e una condizione ad interim, coniata dal sociologo Zygmunt Bauman, serve come metafora per l'interpretazione di queste nuove risorse. Allo stesso modo, questo saggio cattura un'analisi del dialogo permanente tra quei dettagli quotidiani e inosservati, i contenitori di un divenire in forma di sfera, così come apprendiamo dal filosofo Peter Sloterdijk. Abbiamo anche operato un'approssimazione a quella che è stata una rivoluzione nel mondo della grafica: la tecnica della concorrenza del colore, la cui partenità si ascrive all'artista britannico Stanley William Hayter, primo processo da cui nasce questa tesi. Inoltre, il nostro alvoro esamina anche quelle tecniche di creazione pittorica, simili al nostro studio sperimentale e di cui il nostro lavoro è fortemente impregnato. Come risultato dello studio dell'effetto della transitorietà surfattante, questa tesi promuove la nostra personale produzione artistica, Recuerdo del trayecto, che illustra questa evoluzione chimica attraverso il tempo immortalato sotto forma di stampa. / [EN] This doctoral thesis is named La estampa líquida. El tensioactivo como medio de expresión artístico (The Liquid Print. Surfactant as a resource of artistic expression). It gathers the investigation of different artists whose works arise from the creative possibilities of a tensor chemical. They are the reflection of new strategies and of the incorporation of new materials as a contemporary creative resource, and they are considered an example for the invention of a new chalcographic inking method. This investigation takes the concepts of time and space as a starting point. These concepts are inherent and complementary, a direct consequence of the trace and the print that stem from a social reality. The Liquid Modernity, a category which defines this current state and a symbol of constant change and temporariness, coined by sociologist Zygmunt Bauman, acts as a metaphor for the interpretation of these new resources. Likewise, this essay gathers an analysis of the permanent dialogue between those daily and unnoticed details, containing receptacles of a spherical future, a representation adopted from philosopher Peter Sloterdijk. We also carry out an approximation to what was a revolution in Avant-garde in the world of graphic arts: the technique of viscosity printing, invented by British artist Stanley William Hayter, an original process from which this thesis stems. Additionally, we examine those pictorial techniques of creation, related to our experimental study and from which we are directly influenced. As a result of the study of the effect of surfactant transience, this thesis fosters our personal artistic production: Recuerdo del trayecto, which illustrates this chemical evolution through the time immortalized in the shape of a print. / Simarro Escobar, A.

The graphic research showed here was made from 2003 to 2005 and is a result of my affective relation with Brasilia through several languages. As I got to know the city, initially having a foreign look over it, I came from the architecture to its history and then to the Nicolas Behr´s poetry. In that constant transit I made the Brasília Gravada engraving series, which became a thinkingthe- city graphic place. / Esta dissertação de mestrado é constituída basicamente por reflexões sobre os processos de criação que levaram-me ao início de uma nova produção em gravura. A pesquisa gráfica aqui apresentada situa-se entre os anos de 2003 e 2005 e é fruto das relações afetivas que estabeleci com Brasília a partir de diversas linguagens. Ao conhecer essa cidade e lançar-lhe um olhar inicialmente estrangeiro, fui da arquitetura à sua história e, delas, à poesia de Nicolas Behr. Nesse trânsito constante produzi a série de gravuras Brasília Gravada, a qual se transformou num lugar gráfico de pensar-acidade.

Le développement de l’énergie renouvelable loin des zones urbaines demande le transport d'une grande quantité d’énergie sur de longues distances. Le transport d’électricité en courant continu haute tension (HVDC) présente beaucoup d’avantages par rapport à celui en courant alternatif. Dans ce contexte il est nécessaire de développer des convertisseurs de puissance constitués par des composants électroniques très haute tension, 10 à 30 kV. Si les composants en silicium ne peuvent pas atteindre ces objectifs, le carbure de silicium (SiC) se positionne comme un matériau semiconducteur alternatif prometteur. Pour supporter des tensions élevées, une région de "drift", relativement large et peu dopée constitue le cœur du composant de puissance. En pratique l’obtention d’une tension de blocage effective dépend de plusieurs facteurs et surtout de la conception d'une terminaison de jonction adaptée. Cette thèse présente une méthode pour améliorer la tenue en tension des composants en SiC basée sur l’utilisation des terminaisons de jonctions : Deep Trench Termination. Cette méthode utilise une tranchée gravée profonde en périphérie du composant, remplie avec un matériau diélectrique pour supporter l'étalement des lignes équipotentielles. La conception de la diode avec cette terminaison a été faite par simulation TCAD, avec deux niveaux de tension 3 et 20 kV. Les travaux ont pris en compte les caractéristiques du matériau, les charges à l’interface de la tranchée et les limites technologiques pour la fabrication. Ce travail a abouti sur la fabrication de démonstrateurs et leur caractérisation pour valider notre conception. Lors de la réalisation de ces structures, la gravure plasma du SiC a été optimisée dans un bâti ICP de manière à obtenir une vitesse de gravure élevée et en conservant une qualité électronique de l'état des surfaces gravées. Cette qualité est confirmée par les résultats de caractérisation obtenus avec des tenues en tension proches de celle idéale. / The development of renewable energy away from urban areas requires the transmission of a large amount of energy over long distances. High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) power transmission has many advantages over AC power transmission. In this context, it is necessary to develop power converters based on high voltage power electronic components, 10 to 30 kV. If silicon components cannot achieve these objectives, silicon carbide (SiC) is positioned as a promising alternative semiconductor material. To support high voltages, a drift region, relatively wide and lightly doped is the heart of the power component. In practice obtaining an effective blocking voltage depends on several factors and especially the design of a suitable junction termination. This thesis presents a method to improve the voltage withstand of SiC components based on the use of junction terminations: Deep Trench Termination. This method uses a trench deep etching around the periphery of the component, filled with a dielectric material to support the spreading of the equipotential lines. The design of the diode with this termination was done by TCAD simulation, with two voltage levels 3 and 20 kV. The work took into account the characteristics of the material, the interface charge of the trench and the technological limits for the fabrication. This work resulted in the fabrication of demonstrators and their characterization to validate the design. During the production of these structures, plasma etching of SiC has been optimized in an ICP reactor so as to obtain a high etching rate and maintaining an electronic quality of the state of etched surfaces. This quality is confirmed by the results of characterization obtained with blocking voltage close to the ideal one.

Increasingly compact and powerful light emitting diodes require the development of efficient optical diffusers to manage their lighting capability according to the required application. In this study, a cost-effective strategy is demonstrated for fabricating micro-structured polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) diffusers for white light sources. By combining different laserbased processes, namely direct laser engraving (DLE), direct laser writing (DLW), and direct laser interference patterning (DLIP), periodic patterns are fabricated in stainless steel surfaces with line- and dot-like geometries with feature sizes ranging from 1.7 to 900 μm. The fabricated hierarchical geometries are transferred to PMMA surfaces by plate-to-plate hot embossing. The relationship between the surface topography and the white light scattering behavior is investigated by confocal and scanning electron microscopy combined with photospectroscopy and image processing of photographs. The triple-scaled hierarchical structures can increase the haze up to 76% in the visible spectrum, while keeping the total transmittance over 90%, as the flat surface.

Artefacts acquire/embody migratory meanings according to contexts of raw material manipulation, use, discard and discourse. First-Millennium Agriculturist ceramics and concomitant private and public significances/use values are placed within aspects of a deep past Stone Age history of space and artefact usage in the Eastern Cape, South Africa. Some thought paradigms and cultural contexts are examined as having directly influenced discourse, what artefacts were foregrounded, and in which manner writers of southern African prehistory considered them. Thereafter ceramic artefacts and associated technologies are focussed upon as being intimate to personal/ community lifeways and worldviews. Domestic and ceremonial utilityware, figurines and masks, as well as clay usage in homebuilding and metalworking, and urges to apply a mark to malleable clay, or deliberately alter and/or bury ceramic artefacts; are explored as manifestations of medium and usage well suited to regularly reconfigured meanings . / Art History, Visual Arts & Musicology / M.A. (Art History)
