    DĂšs les annĂ©es 1990, les artistes autochtones au « Canada » ont Ă©tĂ© de rĂ©el·lle·s prĂ©curseur·e·s en ce qui a trait Ă  l’occupation du Web comme un lieu de crĂ©ation et de diffusion. Si bien que les espaces dĂ©veloppĂ©s, ainsi que les Ɠuvres en ligne, sites web, installations URL, mĂšmes et autres crĂ©ations hypermĂ©diatiques qui le constituent dĂ©sormais, reprĂ©sentent aujourd’hui une expression artistique des plus singuliĂšres : ancrĂ©e dans les savoirs historiques et identitaires de ces artistes, de mĂȘme que dans les mĂ©canismes spĂ©cifiques qui structurent les technologies des communications et de l’information. À travers un regard diachronique, qui porte une attention rĂ©trospective et archivistique sur les Ɠuvres d’artistes autochtones du « Canada » ayant Ă©tĂ© crĂ©Ă©es avec et sur le Web depuis son avĂšnement, un regard critique, qui situe l’art en ligne autochtone au sein d’un mouvement plus large de dĂ©colonisation, ainsi qu’un regard collaboratif, qui revient sur le projet de crĂ©ation et exposition en ligne « Salut L’Internet » (2018), ce mĂ©moire s’intĂ©resse Ă  l’art en ligne autochtone comme une pratique Ă  la fois subversive et de rĂ©surgence.Since the 1990s, Indigenous artists in “Canada” have been true precursors in occupying the Web as a space for creation and exhibition. As a result, these Indigenous spaces, as well as the many online works, websites, URL installations, memes and other hypermedia creations that now constitute them, represent today a most singular artistic expression: anchored in the historical and identity-based knowledge of the artists, as well as in the specific mechanisms that structure communications and information technologies. Through a diachronic approach, which pays retrospective and archival attention to the works of Indigenous artists in “Canada” that have been created with and on the Web since its advent, a critical approach, which situates Indigenous online art within a broader decolonization movement, as well as a collaborative approach, which revisits the “Salut L’Internet” (2018) online creation project and exhibition, this research focuses on Indigenous online art as a practice of both subversion and resurgence

    Free speech, tolerance, offence and diversity: A comparative study of France and Denmark using the cases of Dieudonné and Yahya Hassan

    This thesis examines how notions of freedom of speech, tolerance, and diversity are negotiated and tested by media controversies prompted by provocative speech acts. The study draws upon two cases from the creative realm: French comedian Dieudonné and Danish poet Yahya Hassan, both of whom have engaged in transgressive speech acts. As country cases, France has a history of immigration and cultural diversity, but Denmark is relatively new to this; yet in recent years, both have engaged in debates about freedom of speech and minority groups. The ways that these issues are then addressed sheds light on how changing societies respond to controversy. This is where the research questions are located: How are the parameters of freedom of speech, tolerance and offence renegotiated in times of change? How do such renegotiations take shape in different national contexts, such as in France and Denmark? How do provocative speech acts in the creative realm test the boundaries of freedom of speech? Finally, how do nationhood, identity and diversity impact public debates about these provocative speech acts? Using a Thematic Analysis of 95 articles from one centre-left and one centre-right newspaper per country about the cases, as well as 21 in-person interviews held in Paris and Copenhagen with activists, journalists, politicians, lawyers and artists, the findings highlight how an expressive act might originate from one individual, but it can create tensions in different ways as it travels through various modes of interpretation and social discourse. What the findings show is that this mediated dynamic tests democratic values such as freedom of speech, because its parameters are being challenged, questioned, or renegotiated through these types of embodied communication, and they reveal how consensus on the acceptable parameters of speech must shift in order to accommodate the diversification of culture in each country context

    Understanding the impact of professional motivation on the workforce crisis in medicine: a rapid review

    Background: The NHS is facing a workforce crisis. Responses to date have focused on improving recruitment of staff, but less attention has been paid to retention. Aim: To conduct a rapid review using Rosabeth Moss Kanter's three Ms model of workforce motivation as a sensitising framework to examine the current medical workforce crisis. The work considers how insights from research in other professions offers new thinking for understanding what motivates doctors to continue working. Design & setting: Rapid literature review with secondary analysis of existing research examining reasons for leaving medicine. Method: A systematic search strategy was developed with the aid of an information specialist. The search terms used were: medical professionals, retention, and NHS. The exclusions were: commentaries, non-medical professionals, non-English language, and it was limited to post-1990. The search was applied to three electronic databases, MEDLINE, Embase, and Healthcare Management Information Consortium (HMIC). This produced a dataset describing study design, and factors related to motivation for leaving the medical profession. Comparative thematic analysis distilled core themes explaining the reasons for leaving and their relation to the three Ms model. Results: Of 3389 abstracts identified, screening and assessment produced 82 articles included in the final analysis. Thematic analysis identified four key themes: low morale, disconnect, unmanageable change, and lack of personal and professional support. The themes of mastery, membership, and meaning were substantially present within the dataset. Conclusion: Kanter's three Ms model of motivation can be applied to the medical workforce to understand retention issues. This work supports the development of targeted solutions to tackle the worsening workforce crisis

    Cet article décrit le Queer Disability Studies Network (Réseau d’études queer sur le handicap), un espace créé pour les universitaires et les militantes et militants des études queer sur le handicap afin de bénéficier de solidarités, au sein des études sur le handicap, queer, trans et intersexe, en particulier pour les personnes marginalisées en raison de la queerphobie, de la transphobie, de l’intersexephobie et du capacitisme. Cet espace permettrait aussi d’alimenter les échanges d’idées d’une discipline à l’autre. Le réseau a été créé pour s’opposer à l’institutionnalisation d’idées qui délégitimiseraient les vies et les identités trans au sein du milieu universitaire et offre un espace de solidarité et de résistance au sein de l’université néolibérale capacitiste. L’article fournit une explication des origines du réseau. Puis, il utilise le motif de l’escargot symbolisant le réseau pour organiser les apprentissages des études trans, queer, intersexes et sur le handicap en un ensemble de « leçons » pour les groupes cherchant à développer des solidarités au sein des communautés universitaires et militantes. Ces leçons soulèvent des questions cruciales liées aux concepts de 1) chez-soi, 2) temporalités et mobilités et 3) incarnations et vulnérabilités. Nous concluons en discutant des implications de ces leçons pour la pratique des solidarités et des politiques de coalition en des temps contestés

    This article describes the Queer Disability Studies Network, a space set up for Queer Disability Studies academics and activists to find solidarity, particularly those experiencing marginalisation due to queerphobia, transphobia, intersexphobia and ableism in Disability, Queer, Trans and Intersex Studies; and for ideas in these disciplines to inform one another. The network was established to oppose the institutionalisation of ideas that would delegitimise trans lives and identities within academia and provides a space of solidarity and resistance within the neoliberal-ableist university. The article provides an explanation of the origins of the network. From this it uses the network’s snail motif to organise learnings from Trans, Queer, Intersex and Disability Studies into a set of ‘lessons’ for groups seeking to develop solidarities within academic and activist communities. These lessons raise critical questions related to concepts of 1) home, 2) temporalities and mobilities, and 3) embodiments and vulnerabilities. We conclude by discussing the implications of these lessons for practising solidarities and coalitional politics in contested times
