Viralité et starisation : le procès Johnny Depp / Amber Heard by Laura Santone

“…The analysis is thus developed on two complementary levels: on the one hand, it is based on the notions of PDV (Point of View), empathy, empathic mobility and extimising empathy; on the other, it draws on the « affects », and the imagination, of fans/internet users, for whom the star, as Edgar Morin wrote in the 1970s, « is the fruit of a projection-identification complex of particular virulence ». Throughout the trial, this virulence inevitably leads to virally orchestrated manipulation strategies.…”

Insights into quorum sensing (QS): QS-regulated biofilm and inhibitors by Wen-Si Tan, Jodi Woan-Fei Law, Lydia Ngiik-Shiew Law, Vengadesh Letchumanan, Kok-Gan Chan

“…Also, many QS-controlled activities are involved in virulence and pathogenicity. Hence, understanding the details of quorum sensing mechanisms, its phenotype regulation (biofilm), and QS inhibitors (which attenuate virulence/pathogenicity) may open a new avenue for controlling bacterial infections. …”
