This article examines the meaning of the word 'vile' by investigating how it is opposed to what is 'precious'. The 'precious'/'vile' contrast dates back at least as far as early translations of ...Jeremiah, and resurfaces in Augustine's reading of Genesis in the Confessions, and this may explain its presence in early modern French culture. But another powerful source is Petrarch's Canzone 129, a rewrite of Canzone 35, which similarly probingly analyses solitary consciousness. Canzone 129 internalizes the contrast of 'precious' with 'vile' as a way of scrutinizing individual goodness after the Fall. The article sees how this operates within the poem's wider thematic networks of desire and hallucination: the face of the beloved Laura is seen everywhere in the natural landscape. It then examines the poems by Ronsard that have been most clearly and explicitly influenced by Canzone 129 (and 35), namely Cassandre 28 and 126, Nouvelle continuation 35, and Helene 19. The homophonic word 'ville' in the last poem is seen as a kind of etymological and semantic bridge, looking back by silently echoing Petrarchan nuance of interiorized guilt and desire, and looking forward to the word's urban connotation - vilain as town-dweller - noted by Cotgrave.

The guest editors explain how this special issue of Early Modern French Studies identifies and explores the significance of the vile in three key regards: i) the heuristic value of repulsive bodies; ...ii) a search for transcendent beauty in death and decay; iii) revilement along linguistic, social, and political lines. They argue that, within and between these wider phenomena, variations of vileness tellingly illuminate the difficulties of calibrating moral and aesthetic categories with those of a changing socio-political hierarchy.
The Siri Canyon has proved to be a perfect area for investigating various morphologies of diagenetic silica in sandstones. The development in silica morphologies can be observed from very shallow (∼
...1700
m) to increased burial depth (∼
3000
m) and increased proximity to the Central Graben (distance from 0 to 65
km). Hydrocarbons and pore fluids, now found in the Siri Fairway, have (at least partly) originated from the Central Graben.
The Siri Canyon is a submarine canyon system eroded into the uppermost chalk deposits and filled with Palaeogene hemipelagic and turbiditic marls and mudstones interbedded with sandstone units deposited from sandy mass-flows and sandy turbidites, which originated on the Stavanger Platform. Several hydrocarbon exploration and production wells have been drilled in the Siri Canyon, seven of which are included in this study (Nini-3, Nini-1, NA-2P, Sofie-1, Siri-4, Celilie-1A and Augusta-1). The reservoir sandstones in these wells all contain authigenic silica of various morphologies identified with a combination of traditional optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy.
The silica morphologies in some places are classic and well-documented in the literature, whereas others, at least to our knowledge, have never previously been described. Some of the silica morphologies presented here show gradual transition from one to another, and others are stand-alone forms without clear relationships to other forms.
The silica morphologies can be expressed in the following way:
1.
Opal rims; characteristic of the initial phase of the silica diagenesis in most sandstone units in the Siri Canyon. Thick opal rims characterise the sandstone parts adjacent to the mudstone units in the Stine segment of the Siri Field.
2.
Microquartz (quartz crystals with a size of 1–5
µm); seen as coatings on the opal rims, both ordered and random.
3.
Cavity overgrowth; found as quartz outgrowths in circular and angular cavities formed by dissolution of early authigenic phases. Angular cavities in the microquartz coatings origin from dissolution of clinoptilolite, possibly with a source in volcanic ash, whereas dissolution of lepispheres probably resulted in circular cavities.
4.
Quartz ridges (syntaxial quartz overgrowths, a few micro millimetre in width, in parallel lines — defined in this paper).
5.
Quartz mountains (syntaxial, irregular 5–10
µm large quartz crystals — defined in this paper); developed in the water-filled sandstone intervals where fluids from the Central Graben were introduced, possibly together with the hydrocarbon, and where the continued growth was not retarded by the presence of hydrocarbons in the pore fluids.
6.
Macroquartz (syntaxial quartz overgrowths >
20
µm); seen as continued growths from quartz mountains. This takes place in the deeper reservoir sandstones, promoted by fluids originating from the Central Graben and increased burial depth.
7.
Quartz with sutured grain contacts; occurring only in the deepest well (3000
m).
This article studies the various physical, social, and moral criteria that determine villainy - in the various senses implied by Maurice de la Porte's Epithetes (1571) - in Renaissance birds. It ...focuses primarily on Jean Lemaire de Belges's Epîtres de l'Amant Vert (1505-11), two poems whose praise of Lemaire's patron, Marguerite d'Autriche, is couched in praise of (and by) her pet parrot, the Amant Vert. For all that the poems show the Amant Vert's distinctions between the vile and the noble to be confirmed in the afterlife, his serio-comic perception of himself as tragically noble risks destabilizing his narrative judgement: he is, after all, a parrot. The article therefore considers the ambiguity of the Amant Vert and the contrasting stability of his conceptions of the vile, comparing his criteria for determining villainy with those found in less paradoxical forms of writing. This study of villainy in Renaissance birds thereby tests how valuable a contribution such ambiguous or unstable genres as the serio-comic or the paradoxical may make to the study of shifting and versatile concepts such as the vile.
ABSTRACT
The Selandien 58 Ma (PP3c‐d) Tyr sand in the Nini area, Siri Fairway, Danish North Sea, is severely influenced by the syn‐depositional movement of the Nini Salt Diapir. The sand is faulted ...and remobilized into a degree where no original depositional signature can be recognized. The Tyr sand is drilled (and cored) by a number of wells, and the sand is never found in the same stratigraphic position. In some wells, the Tyr sand is injected down into the chalk of the Danian Ekofisk Formation, whereas other wells show the Tyr sand embedded in the Selandien Vile Member claystone, with varying degree of remobilization. The Tyr sand is thin (2–7 m) and is therefore below seismic resolution and close to seismic detection. Standard reflection seismic data has proven problematic in determining the actual thickness and spatial distribution of the thin Tyr sand located within or immediately above the chalk. A simultaneous AVO (amplitude vs. offset) inversion using time‐aligned angle stack seismic data, has improved resolution of the thin and complex reservoir, allowing a better understanding of the remobilization processes occurring above the rising salt diapir, and thereby an improved understanding of the reservoir and its performance. Three different remobilization features are described: injection into the chalk, injection up along fault planes and compactional driven injection. The force for the remobilization spans in orders of magnitude from metre scale phenomena, to injections of 100s of metres, moving millions of tons of material and fluids.
Stručni rad ima za cilj prezentirati jedan dio terenske nastavne jedinice u okviru kolegija "Povijesni vrtovi Mediterana" na Studiju Povijesti Jadrana i Mediterana Sveučilišta u Dubrovniku. Nastavna ...jedinica ima za cilj prikazati perivojna ostvarenja u razdoblju s prijelaza iz 19. u 20. stoljeće odnosno u prvim desetljećima 20. stoljeća. Naglasak je na iščitavanju povijesnih, stilskih i hortikulturnih značajki lokacije. Vila Čingrija izgrađena početkom 20. stoljeća nalazi se na rubnom uzobalnom dijelu povijesne vrtne zone Pile – Boninovo. Na širem potezu ove zone, u razdoblju renesanse, počinju se u pravilnom rasteru, unutar mreža glavnih prilaznih i okomitih sporednih komunikacija, oblikovati tzv. insule (čestice parcela). Unutar insula se oblikuju prigradski ljetnikovci s vrtovima. U istom uzorku i na tragu dubrovačke ladanjske, rezidencijalne arhitekture u tom prostoru se gradi sve do kraja 19. i u prvoj polovici 20. stoljeća. Lokacija vile s perivojem nalazi se na prostoru izrazite ambijentalne vrijednosti, na strmim terasama na kojima do 10. stoljeća nije bilo gradnje. U vegetacijskome smislu, kao i čitav Dubrovnik, prostor pripada eumediteranskom, vazdazelenom području sveze Quercion ilicis i asocijacije Orno-Quercetum ilicis. Tijekom gradnje vile, u skladu sa tadašnjim florističkim trendovima, zasađen je veliki broj alohtonih tj. za ono vrijeme egzotičnih biljaka. Do danas su ostale očuvane one, koje su se dobro prilagodile pedoklimatskim uvjetima, s obzirom da je perivoj vile tijekom više desetljeća bio zapušten.U tijeku je izrada projektne dokumentacije obnove perivoja i vile za potrebe Regionalnog centra kompetentnosti u turizmu, koji je u tim prostorima planiran. Rad jer napisan temeljem podataka iz Elaborata obnove perivoja vile Čingrija, te na temelju terenskog izvida sa studentima.
The focus of the paper is on faeries and faery pedagogy in the context of Croatian neopagan spiritualities. It aims to present the ways in which folk tales influence the creation of spiritualities in ...the modern everyday life. By researching individual practices the paper attempts to connect the alternative ways of living with the educational role of faeries. In most cases learning from faeries is based on questioning the dominant forms of (bio)power. In this respect faeries are opposed to capitalism, imperialism, and various other forms of oppression. The emphasis is mostly on ecology – i.e. on learning how to relate to land and nature in a different, less aggressive manner by using faerie cultures.
