L’éclosion d’une culture politique participative : L’expérience du Forum social québécois

Depuis la tenue du premier Forum social mondial au Brésil en 2001, l’utopie d’un autre monde possible ne cesse de se propager, prenant le contre-pied de l’idéologie néolibérale dont le Forum économique mondial s’est fait le relais. Depuis, des forums sociaux se sont déployés à toutes les échelles d’actions, du global au local. Après un bref rappel des fondements axiologiques de l’utopie altermondialiste, nous nous pencherons sur le cas du forum social québécois (FSQ) comme laboratoire d’expérimentation d’une nouvelle culture politique participative en gestation. Nous rappellerons l’historique de la mise en place ainsi que la logique de fonctionnement de cet espace participatif et inclusif. Nous insisterons finalement sur les défis que devra relever la mouvance altermondialiste au Québec.With the first World Social Forum in Brazil (2001), utopia of another world is growing against neoliberal ideology of the World Economic Forum. Since then, social forums are organised in all action scales, from global to local. After a brief reminder of the altermondialistic utopia axiological basis, we will examine Québec Social Forum case as an experimental laboratory of a new participative political culture. We will present the historical process and the logical running of this inclusive and participative space. Finally, we will insist on the challenges that will be facing the altermondialistic movement in Québec

L’intelligence en essaim. Stratégie d’internationalisation des forums sociaux et régionalisation de la contestation mondiale

A la globalisation du capital financier a répondu la mondialisation de la résistance des peuples. Qu’elle soit définie en termes de contre-pouvoir, de mondialisation contre-hégémonique, de mouvement anti-systémique ou encore de berceau d’une hypothétique Cinquième Internationale, la mouvance altermondialiste a su s’imposer dans le champ de la représentation en brisant le dogme de l’unicité de la pensée, du modèle de développement, de la rationalité instrumentale. Derrière le slogan « Un autre monde est possible », se dessine désormais une nouvelle utopie.The globalisation of financial capital has found its response in the globalisation of popular resistance. Whether defined in terms of anti-power, of the globalisation of anti-hegemony, of the anti-system movement, or even as the cradle of a hypothetical Fifth International, the alter-globalisation movement has placed itself firmly in the field of representation through breaking the dogma of unity of thought, of development models, and of instrumental rationality. Behind the slogan “Another world is possible”, a new utopia is in the process of being drawn up

Combinando heterogeneidades em espaços globais de mobilização. Os casos do Fórum Social Mundial e GlobalSquare

O presente artigo propõe desenhar uma antropologia da espacialidade com um olhar crítico para compreender a emergência de diferentes espaços globais de mobilização que se inscrevem em uma perspectiva altermundialista. Para tanto, realiza-se inicialmente, um retrato do contexto histórico que permitiu o surgimento desses espaços. Em seguida, são apresentadas e analisadas comparativamente as lógicas inerentes a cada um dos dois casos selecionados, que aparentam ser particularmente representativos na trajetória dos espaços globais de mobilização (o Fórum Social Mundial e o GlobalSquare). No final, busca-se trabalhar com a hipótese de uma “epistemologia do paradoxo”, que seja capaz de reconhecer as contradições básicas próprias aos processos estudados e que contribua para a compreensão dos processos de mobilização, ampliando seu alcance e sua força.This paper seeks to propose an anthropology of spatiality to understand the emergence of different global mobilization spaces that appear into an alterglobalist perspective. First, we share a portrait of the historical context that allowed the emergence of these spaces. Then, we present, analyze and compare the inherent logic in each one of the two selected cases, which appear to be particularly representative in the trajectory of global spaces of mobilization (the World Social Forum and the GlobalSquare). In the end, we seek to work with the hypothesis of an ‘epistemology of paradox’, that would be able to recognize the basic contradictions, specific to the studied processes and contribute to understanding the processes of mobilization, expanding its reach and strength

Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation for Severe Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome associated with COVID-19: An Emulated Target Trial Analysis.

RATIONALE: Whether COVID patients may benefit from extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) compared with conventional invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) remains unknown. OBJECTIVES: To estimate the effect of ECMO on 90-Day mortality vs IMV only Methods: Among 4,244 critically ill adult patients with COVID-19 included in a multicenter cohort study, we emulated a target trial comparing the treatment strategies of initiating ECMO vs. no ECMO within 7 days of IMV in patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (PaO2/FiO2 <80 or PaCO2 ≥60 mmHg). We controlled for confounding using a multivariable Cox model based on predefined variables. MAIN RESULTS: 1,235 patients met the full eligibility criteria for the emulated trial, among whom 164 patients initiated ECMO. The ECMO strategy had a higher survival probability at Day-7 from the onset of eligibility criteria (87% vs 83%, risk difference: 4%, 95% CI 0;9%) which decreased during follow-up (survival at Day-90: 63% vs 65%, risk difference: -2%, 95% CI -10;5%). However, ECMO was associated with higher survival when performed in high-volume ECMO centers or in regions where a specific ECMO network organization was set up to handle high demand, and when initiated within the first 4 days of MV and in profoundly hypoxemic patients. CONCLUSIONS: In an emulated trial based on a nationwide COVID-19 cohort, we found differential survival over time of an ECMO compared with a no-ECMO strategy. However, ECMO was consistently associated with better outcomes when performed in high-volume centers and in regions with ECMO capacities specifically organized to handle high demand.
