Creative Citizenship – two journeys, one destination by Hargreaves Ian, Hartley John

“…It seeks to combine (i) autobiographical narrative storytelling – two of them, in fact; with (ii) an attempt to build concepts, themes and strategies out of that narrative, and how the two stories did indeed arrive at ‘one destination’; and (iii) plentiful use of visual prompts, combined with part-scripted, part-improvised dialogic commentary. …”

Leprosy Mimicking Common Rheumatologic Entities: A Trial for the Clinician in the Era of Biologics by Deepak Rath, Shrinath Bhargava, Bijit Kumar Kundu

“…However, when an entity of infective aetiology like leprosy known to be a great mimic of different autoimmune conditions presents with features similar to these, the possibility of it being diagnosed at the outset is very slim indeed. The ease with which the diagnosis of leprosy can be missed assumes sinister proportions as the use of disease modifying agents can have deleterious effects in these patients. …”

Women’s mountaineering and dissonances within the mountain guide profession by Rozenn Martinoia

“…Within a profession normed by a myth of masculinity, female clients may indeed send out dissonant signals: on the one hand, they allow the production of expected signs of masculinity, on the other, they may symbolise a feminisation of professional skills, which, in the hierarchy of gender, is stigmatising. …”

‘He crossed and re-crossed the way repeatedly’: Illegible Crossings in Poe’s ‘The Man of the Crowd’ by Estelle Murail

“…Both narrator and reader are confronted with the fear of not being able to read the many crossings at work in the (urban) text, which turns them into detectives on an endless hermeneutic journey. Indeed, the tale constantly seeks to involve us in hermeneutic crossings which shape the text, and thus forces us to ‘cross and re-cross the way repeatedly’.…”

A compartmental model to describe acute medical in-patient flow through a hospital by Tahani Al-Karkhi, Kit Byatt

The Russian prepositional TIPA and VRODE in online student discourse: evidence of attraction? by Kolyaseva Alena

“…Forty years later, the present article shows that in the current discourse of younger speakers (i) there is indeed a selectional bias in favor of the prepositional tipa (which does not extend to the items’ particle uses) and (ii) the two prepositions demonstrate a high degree of attraction. …”

“…not as history, but…” by Elizabeth Freeman

“…None of these seven texts fits into the classic genre of the history, and yet the article argues that all are indeed historiographical texts. Aelred wrote all these works while he was abbot of Rievaulx Abbey in Yorkshire, and the article suggests that Aelred’s experiences and responsibilities as abbot gave him both the skills to combine many literary genres – vita, genealogy, lament, relatio, translatio, exemplum, sermon, letter – when writing about the past as well as the desire to combine such genres so as to provide his readers with models of hope, and occasionally stern advice, from the past to use in the future.…”

Struggling with and mastering e-mail consultations: A study of access, interaction, and participation in a digital health care system by Grønning Anette

“…The study demonstrates that e-consultations are more than a digital access point to the healthcare system: patients often struggle to maintain contact with their general practitioner, and e-consultations can help them navigate the healthcare system. Indeed, those who master this form of communication are appreciative of it and perceive it as screen care.…”

La(dé)mobilisation scolaire : les enjeux de la socialisation par les pairs by Lucie Hernandez, Nathalie Oubrayrie Roussel, Yves Prêteur

Learning During Coronavirus: “The Masque of the Red Death” by Jon Beasley-Murray

“…I suggest that, among other things, this involves reading more literally and less for metaphors and symbols or the other paraphernalia that tend to be features of formal teaching of literature in schools. Indeed, in the context of pandemic and lockdown, “The Masque of the Red Death,” if read with children or through a child’s eyes, might teach us very literally about enclosure and boundaries, about life and death, and about the always-failed ambitions of constituted power. …”

Des mages à Florence au Quattrocento. Autour de la fête de l’Épiphanie de 1443 by Pauline Duclos-Grenet

“…The purpose of this essay is to draw the frame of this phenomenon and to understand how it pervades the minds of the period, through the urban rituals and pictural representations which structure the Florentine society. Indeed, ritual processions and pictural representations, in addition to other kinds of discourse, express the will of a republic which dreams of being both a New Jerusalem and a New Rome. …”

La production des savoirs sur les pesticides dans la règlementation européenne by Annie Martin

“…We borrow the theorical framework from sociology, agnotology, to show that the lack of awareness of the origin of the European rules and their legal nature, are factors explaining that teir content causes a production of ignorance about harmful effects of pesticides. Indeed, the European rules of knowledge production are the result of a phenomenon of dissemination of norms between Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development and European Union since the early 1970s. …”

Prescrire un contraceptif : le rôle de l’institution médicale dans la construction de catégories sexuées by Cécile Ventola
