La place de la victime : deuil et paysage
Cet article se propose dâexplorer certains usages du paysage en tant que figure de la mĂ©moire dans lâarchitecture et le cinĂ©ma des post-dictatures du CĂŽne Sud. Le paysage ouvre Ă travers lâapproche architectonique et cinĂ©matographique de la dimension spatiale un seuil oĂč lâabsence de place pour le deuil peut ĂȘtre soulignĂ©e et comblĂ©e. Certaines de ces propositions tendent Ă la construction de lieux au caractĂšre monumental afin de rĂ©inscrire les victimes en leur absence â en tant que noms situĂ©s â la gĂ©ographie sociale ; dâautres, en revanche, Ă lâouverture dâespaces de lâerrance oĂč le deuil devient une pratique esthĂ©tique et politique radicale de transformation du prĂ©sent.This article proposes to explore some of the ways in which landscape is engaged with in postdictatorial architecture and cinema from the Southern Cone. Landscape, in being enlisted and worked through in the architectonic and cinematographic register, opens within space a threshold where the absence of places for mourning the disappeared can be both marked and counteracted. Some of these proposals adopt the form of the monument so as to reinscribe the victims in their absence â as emplaced names â into the social geography. Others, on the contrary, open up spaces of itinerance where mourning becomes a radical aesthetic and political practice of transforming the present.De auteur onderzoekt de rol van het landschap als plek van herinnering in de post-dictatoriale Zuidkegel.

A Expedição do Planalto
A histĂłria de BrasĂlia, como se sabe, inverte a narrativa da torre de Babel: em lugar de empregar a ciĂȘncia do arquiteto para elevar a visĂŁo humana Ă s alturas divinas do conhecimento omnividente, os criadores da capital desenvolvimentista do Brasil diretamente pressuponhiam a plataforma de visĂŁo que, segundo o mito bĂblico, havia materialisado a ambição pecaminosa do homem. A cruz axial em forma de aeroplano sobre a qual LĂșcio Costa havia mapeado a paisagem urbana modernista, parece condensar..

De plaats van het slachtoffer: landschap en rouwproces
De auteur onderzoekt de rol van het landschap als plek van herinnering in de post-dictatoriale Zuidkegel. In architectuur en film symboliseert het landschap het gebrek aan een plaats om te rouwen.

Watching the city: the politics of space in Pizza, birra, faso
In this article I discuss the representation of Buenos Aires in Pizza, birra, faso. Paying attention to some of the filmâs salient aspects vis-a-vis its portrayal of urban space, my analysis has as ultimate goal to reveal the ways in which the film engages in a political critique that might seem absent if studied solely from a narrative point of view. In this sense Pizza, birra, faso is a paradigmatic example of the ways in which many of the films of New Argentine Cinema engaged with their political context differently to films of the post-dictatorship generation. To unearth this political content, I will argue, it is necessary to study these films as films, and not merely texts

Clinical and virological characteristics of hospitalised COVID-19 patients in a German tertiary care centre during the first wave of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic: a prospective observational study
Purpose: Adequate patient allocation is pivotal for optimal resource management in strained healthcare systems, and requires detailed knowledge of clinical and virological disease trajectories. The purpose of this work was to identify risk factors associated with need for invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV), to analyse viral kinetics in patients with and without IMV and to provide a comprehensive description of clinical course.
Methods: A cohort of 168 hospitalised adult COVID-19 patients enrolled in a prospective observational study at a large European tertiary care centre was analysed.
Results: Forty-four per cent (71/161) of patients required invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV). Shorter duration of symptoms before admission (aOR 1.22 per day less, 95% CI 1.10-1.37, p < 0.01) and history of hypertension (aOR 5.55, 95% CI 2.00-16.82, p < 0.01) were associated with need for IMV. Patients on IMV had higher maximal concentrations, slower decline rates, and longer shedding of SARS-CoV-2 than non-IMV patients (33 days, IQR 26-46.75, vs 18 days, IQR 16-46.75, respectively, p < 0.01). Median duration of hospitalisation was 9 days (IQR 6-15.5) for non-IMV and 49.5 days (IQR 36.8-82.5) for IMV patients.
Conclusions: Our results indicate a short duration of symptoms before admission as a risk factor for severe disease that merits further investigation and different viral load kinetics in severely affected patients. Median duration of hospitalisation of IMV patients was longer than described for acute respiratory distress syndrome unrelated to COVID-19
