The shifting Nile and the origins and development of ancient Karnak. Antiquity 95(382), 20212021 •
Following two centuries of research at Karnak, our understanding of the origins and development of this famous ancient Egyptian temple complex remains limited. Recent archaeological excavation in the Ptah temple, however, has reached its earliest levels, providing a first, securely dated stratigraphic sequence. Despite flood risks, the development of the religious complex c. 2200–2000 BC was made possible by the retreating Nile riverbank. Thus, the river and the expanding Karnak temple complex played major roles in the takeover of Egypt by the Eleventh Dynasty rulers and the growth of the new capital at Thebes, a potent combination of forces— fluvial, religious and secular—encountered among other early state powers.

Critical rhythm: the poetics of a literary life form2021 •
This book is a tribute to Béatrix Midant-Reynes, whose long career as a lithic specialist, archaeologist, and Egyptologist is intimately linked to early Egypt, even though her work covers a wide range of disciplines. Béatrix Midant-Reynes is a major scholarly figure in the study of Egyptian prehistory and the Predynastic period. Her work has had a considerable influence in the new theories she has proposed concerning the constitution of the first Nilotic societies and the emergence of the State in Egypt, but also for the techniques of excavation and analysis of archaeological material she has introduced. This volume of essays offers 35 contributions, written in French and in English, by scholars, researchers, and museum curators. The variety of topics illustrates the intellectual curiosity and interests of Béatrix Midant-Reynes: chronology, the Neolithic of the deserts, lithic material, relations between Egypt and the Near East, human sacrifice, settlement archaeology, the site of Adaima, the Nile Delta, material culture, archaeothanatology, the first Egyptian dynasties, etc. ISBN: 9789042941403
In this paper, much like the paper on Bob Ross that came after this peice, I dive into the life of Stanely Kubrick's influences and impacts on the film industry with a focus on his use of designs and colors.

Innovative Business Strategies: Lessons from the World of Theatre Production2024 •
This research delves into the dynamic intersection of business administration and theatre production, aiming to unearth innovative strategies inspired by the artistic world. The study explores the transferable lessons that businesses can glean from the collaborative and inventive nature of theatre production. The literature review traces the historical evolution of business strategies, establishing the groundwork for the examination of theatre as a rich source of inspiration. Employing a methodology centered on case studies, interviews, and comparative analysis, the research identifies key elements from theatre, such as creativity, collaboration, and risk-taking, that can be strategically applied to the corporate landscape. Through in-depth exploration of successful business strategies influenced by theatre, the study provides practical insights for business leaders seeking to infuse their organizations with a fresh perspective. The findings not only highlight the challenges in implementing theatrical strategies but also present opportunities for overcoming obstacles and optimizing business performance. The recommendations encapsulate actionable steps for integrating theatrical principles into corporate culture and fostering an environment conducive to innovation. This research contributes to the discourse on interdisciplinary approaches to business and encourages further exploration of unconventional sources for transformed strategies in the dynamic world of business administration.
There is only one reference to art (to poetry in fact) in Heidegger's Being and Time but art is to the fore in his later writings. In this article the path from the earlier to the later writings is traced such that two surprising conclusions can be drawn: first, that Heidegger's later thinking about art is powerfully pre-figured in the single reference to poetry in Being and Time; and, second, that Heidegger's later thinking about art does not develop a new discourse on aesthetics but, rather, a discourse that revisions our self-understanding by elaborating an essential tie—already stressed in Being and Time—between our Being and dwelling. The discussion of Heidegger's philosophy of art as a philosophy of settlement is developed through a renewed assessment of Heidegger's famous interpretation of Van Gogh's picture of a pair of old shoes. It is argued that the picture plays a twin role in Heidegger's analysis: drawing together the threads of Heidegger's engagement with our time as belonging to the technological age, while also illustrating Heidegger's conception of the creation of art not as the production of an object but as involved in the opening up of a world. Together these threads invite us to reflect that, even though the " old rootedness " is being lost in this age, art might still contribute to creating a new settlement in our time—with technology.

Penser et administrer le territoire sans l’État2023 •
Le droit occidental est si marqué par la fiction centrale que constitue l’État que les juristes rencontrent bien des difficultés à appréhender son absence. À rebours d’une vision déformée par le prisme étatique, cet ouvrage explore, de l’empire romain à l’Union européenne, différentes manières de penser et d’administrer le territoire sans l’État. Que faire lorsque l’État s’effondre ou se retire ? Comment une population, livrée à elle-même, s’administre-t-elle ? Comment penser et administrer un territoire lorsqu’on souhaite se débarrasser d’un État jugé inefficace ou néfaste ? Quelles sont les techniques juridiques et les moyens politiques mis en œuvre pour dépasser ce retrait, cet abandon ou cette disparition ? C’est à ces multiples questions que cette recherche collective et interdisciplinaire tente de répondre en parcourant deux mille ans de débats et d’expérimentations visant à affranchir le territoire de l’État.
