  • The Misunderstood Comet: The Curious History of Comet C/1618 V1

    Open AccessM Meyer, Heitor Matallo et al.ARTICLEJournal of Astronomical History…2026

    This paper commemorates the centenary of Cecilia Payne’s Stellar Atmospheres ... (1925), a doctoral thesis that fundamentally reshaped astrophysics by establishing hydrogen as the primary constituent of stars. Payne’s application of Meghnad Saha’s ionization theory to Harvard’s spectral data overturned the prevailing assumption that stars shared the Earth’s composition. Although Henry Norris Russell initially advised caution, regarding her conclu…

  • A concepção problematológica da linguagem

    Open AccessM Meyer, Gabriel Fernandino et al.ARTICLERevista Eletrônica de Estudos…2025

    Este artigo situa-se na interface entre Filosofia da Linguagem e Teoria da Argumentação e visa a expor os fundamentos da concepção problematológica da linguagem elaborada por Michel Meyer. A investigação apresenta caráter teórico e interpretativo, ao propor que a diversidade de abordagens contemporâneas — desde os jogos de linguagem de Wittgenstein até a teoria dos atos de fala e a hermenêutica — pode encontrar unidade a partir das noções de ques…

  • The Great Comet C/1743 X1: Possible Identification in Historic Records of 1402, 1032, 676, and 336

    M Meyer, Michael R Meyer et al.ARTICLEJournal of Astronomical History…2025

    The great comet of 1744, C/1743 X1, is notable for its brightness, which enabled it to be seen close to the Sun during the day and exhibit an impressive tail. One of the first orbit calculators, O.P. Hiorter, had already noted the comet’s resemblance to the great daylight comet C/1402 D1. This was later supported by H.W.M. Olbers and J. Holetschek. This paper re-evaluates the historic astrometry and shows that the data are fully compatible with t…

  • The Enigma of Laughter

    M MeyerARTICLERevue internationale de philosophie2025

    S’appuyant sur les travaux de Bergson, Baudelaire et Freud, entre autres, cet article développe une approche rhétorique du rire et de la comédie. Le comique est le résultat d’une dynamique d’identité et de différence : ce qui nous fait rire est une identité inconsciente de sa propre différence, ce qu’illustre la figure ridicule du Don Quichotte de Cervantès. Le rire instaure une distance entre l’objet et le spectateur, ce qui est la conséquence d…

  • Wrestling, Warships and Nationalism in Japanese-American Relations

    Open AccessM MeyerARTICLEMartial Arts Studies2020

    The following article explains how the metaphors ‘wrestling body’ and ‘warship’ are combined, mutually reinforced and nationalistically instrumentalised in the context of sporting events. The first case study examines contentious Japanese public discussions of the possible promotion of American wrestlers to the highest rank in professional sumō. The following case explores the staging of an American actor dressed as a Japanese sumō wrestler for t…

  • Heating histories and taphonomy of ancient fireplaces: A multi-proxy case study from the Upper Palaeolithic sequence of Abri Pataud (Les Eyzies-de-Tayac, France)

    Open AccessFreek Braadbaart, Femke H Reidsma et al.ARTICLEJournal of Archaeological Science…2020Cited by: 17References: 30

    While the use of fire has long been recognised as a crucial innovation in the cultural evolution of humankind, much research has focused on the (debated) chronology of its earliest use and control, and less on the ways in which fire was used in the deep past. At its latest by the Upper Palaeolithic, hunter-gatherers routinely used fire to heat a wide range of materials, adjusting parameters like temperature, exposure time and fuel type to the spe…

  • Why do People Train Martial Arts? Participation Motives of German and Japanese Karateka

    Open AccessM Meyer, Heiko BittmannARTICLESocieties2018References: 2

    Meyer’s (2012) qualitative research on motivation of German karateka initiated the coordinated research project Why Martial Arts? (WMA) to analyse motives in various martial arts styles, like jūdō, taiji, krav maga and wing chun. In 2017, the Japanese Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) supported the transposition of the research question to Japanese karatedō and jūdō practitioners. For the German sub-study, 32 interviews were conducted a…

  • The makers of the Protoaurignacian and implications for Neandertal extinction

    Open AccessStefano Benazzi, Viviane Slon et al.ARTICLEScience2015

    Cultural prehistory in southern Europe The Protoaurignacian culture appeared in the southern European archeological record around 42,000 years ago and was characterized by artefacts including personal ornaments and bladelets. Archaeologists have debated whether it was ancestral Homo sapiens or Neandertals who made these tools and ornaments. Benazzi et al. analyzed dental remains from two Protoaurignacian sites in Italy and confirm that they were …

  • Coda: The Rhetoric of Roman Painting within the History of Culture: A Global Interpretation

    Open AccessM MeyerCHAPTERArt and Rhetoric in Roman Culture2014

    What is the significance of Roman painting for the history of Western art? When I published a book on Roman art several years ago, friends of mine – philosophers like myself, but also historians of art – asked me: ‘Why should a philosopher be interested in Roman art?’. It appeared strange to them. They would have probably sympathized if I had written a book on the art of classical Greece, because it would have corresponded with the Golden Age of …

  • Complete Mitochondrial Genomes of Ancient Canids Suggest a European Origin of Domestic Dogs

    Open AccessOlaf Thalmann, Beth Shapiro et al.ARTICLEScience2013

    Dog Domestication The precise details of the domestication and origins of domestic dogs are unclear. Thalmann et al. (p. 871 ; see the cover) analyzed complete mitochondrial genomes from present-day dogs and wolves, as well as 18 fossil canids dating from 1000 to 36,000 years ago from the Old and New Worlds. The data suggest that an ancient, now extinct, central European population of wolves was directly ancestral to domestic dogs. Furthermore, s…
