Gayatri Spivak : une éthique de la résistance aphone

Figure des plus importantes dans le champ des études littéraires et culturelles aux États-Unis, Gayatri Spivak propose dans sa lecture provocante du mythe ovidien de Narcisse et d'Écho une nouvelle éthique, une nouvelle manière de penser la notion même de responsabilité. Sa lecture privilégie la figure d'Écho qu'elle interprète comme une figure allégorique complexe qui allégorise la condition du sujet post-colonial ainsi que la condition et la responsabilité du critique post-colonial. L'article se concentre sur la lecture que fait Spivak des réponses d'Écho et plus précisément sur la " différance " que Spivak remarque dans ces réponses et qu'elle propose comme une nouvelle forme de résistance éthique qui met en question les notions de responsabilité et de " différance ". Il essaie également de montrer que la réponse critique de Spivak elle-même peut être réinterprétée dans la perspective de cette " différance " résistante.One of the most influencial figures in the field of literary and cultural theories in the United States, Gayatri Spivak proposes in her provocative reading of the Ovidian myth of Narcissus and Echo a new ethics, a new way of thinking the very notion of responsibility. Focusing on the figure of Echo, she reads her as a complex allegorical figure which allegorizes the condition of the postcolonial subject as well as the condition and responsibility of the postcolonial critic. The article focuses on Spivak's reading of Echo's responses and, specifically, on the "differance" that she remarks in her response and that she views as a form of ethical resistance which challenges the classic definition of both responsibility and resistance. It also seeks to show that Spivak's own critical response may have to be read in light of this resisting "differance"

Priority setting during the COVID-19 pandemic: going beyond vaccines

Development of vaccines is a major breakthrough in the fight against the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Much attention has been paid to how to prioritise between patient groups for vaccination and how to ensure equity, especially in low-income countries, but there are other important decisions that need to be made. These decisions include: (a) choosing between the various vaccines that will become available, (b) continuing to invest in other aspects of the COVID-19 response and (c) balancing the COVID-19 response with the need to invest in other healthcare that has suffered during the pandemic. Although these decisions are inherently difficult, principles of good priority setting can be helpful; these principles include: evidence-based and transparent decision-making, participation of stakeholders and a focus on the implementation of decisions

The application of drones in healthcare and health-related services in north america: A scoping review

© 2020 by the authors. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland. Using drone aircraft to deliver healthcare and other health-related services is a relatively new application of this technology in North America. For health service providers, drones represent a feasible means to increase their efficiency and ability to provide services to individuals, especially those in difficult to reach locations. This paper presents the results of a scoping review of the research literature to determine how drones are used for healthcare and health-related services in North America, and how such applications account for human operating and machine design factors. Data were collected from PubMed, CINAHL, Scopus, Web of Science, and IEEE Xplore using a block search protocol that combined 13 synonyms for “drone” and eight broad terms capturing healthcare and health-related services. Four-thousand-six-hundred-and-sixty-five documents were retrieved, and following a title, abstract, and full-text screening procedure completed by all authors, 29 documents were retained for analysis through an inductive coding process. Overall, findings indicate that drones may represent a financially feasible means to promote healthcare and health-related service accessibility for those in difficult-to-reach areas; however, further work is required to fully understand the costs to healthcare organizations and the communities they serve

Coping with Stressors by Drawing on Social Supports: The Experiences of Adolescent Syrian Refugees in Canada

This study explores how teenage Syrian refugees use their social networks to cope with stressors. Through interviews with nine youth aged 16 to 18 living in Ontario, Canada, stressors related to pre- and post-migration emerged. Family, peers, school staff, and organizations were identified as social networks, each having unique reasons why they were selected. Coping was categorized as individualistic or collectivistic. Teenage Syrian refugees draw upon social resources to navigate situations they are faced with, and cultural values influence the stress and coping process. Findings have implications for mental health care providers and policy-makers focused on migrant resettlement.Cette étude explore la manière dont les adolescents réfugiés syriens utilisent leurs réseaux sociaux afin de faire face aux facteurs de stress. À partir d’entrevues menées auprès de neuf jeunes âgés de 16 à 18 ans en Ontario, Canada, des facteurs de stress et post-migratoires ont émergé. La famille, les pairs, le personnel scolaire et les organisations ont été identifiés comme des réseaux sociaux, chacun ayant des raisons uniques pour lesquelles ils ont été sélectionnés. L’adaptation a été catégorisée comme individualiste ou collectiviste. Les adolescents réfugiés syriens s’appuient sur des ressources sociales pour traverser les situations auxquelles ils font face, et les valeurs culturelles ont une influence sur le stress et le processus d’adaptation. Les résultats ont des implications pour les prestataires de soins en santé mentale et les décideurs qui se penchent sur la réinstallation des migrants
