A Microcosm Untouched by Time
In 1939, Marion Post Wolcott, a young photographer recently hired by the Farm Security Administration, traveled to Florida for several months. She quickly developed a special interest in the regionâs striking contrasts: along the coast, the camps of migrant workers and the fields devastated by drought formed a strange backdrop to the little beach towns and rich tourists fleeing the winter. Thus was born the project âGold Avenue,â a series of photographs of Floridaâs affluent tourists. Today, some of these images are among Post Wolcottâs most famous works. They are often hailed as the embodiment of an originality peculiar to the photographer, proof that she represented a âshining exception.â Yet their popularity was very late in coming. Critics and researchers were long unaware of the project as a whole. It was not until the late 1970s and the first exhibitions of Post Wolcottâs work that the photographs of âGold Avenueâ were discovered. The author studies the impact and importance of this belated discovery in the history of Post Wolcottâs critical reception
Un microcosme hors du temps
En 1939, Marion Post Wolcott, une jeune photographe rĂ©cemment engagĂ©e par la Farm Security Administration, voyage pendant quelques mois dans lâĂ©tat de Floride. Post Wolcott dĂ©veloppe trĂšs tĂŽt un intĂ©rĂȘt particulier pour les contrastes saisissants quâoffrent alors la rĂ©gionâ: le long de la cĂŽte, les camps de migrants et les champs dĂ©vastĂ©s par la sĂ©cheresse constituent un arriĂšre-plan Ă©trange aux petites villes balnĂ©aires et aux riches touristes fuyant lâhiver. NaĂźt ainsi en 1939 le projet de la «âGold Avenueâ», une sĂ©rie de photographies consacrĂ©es aux touristes aisĂ©s de Floride. Quelques-unes de ces images figurent aujourdâhui parmi les Ćuvres les plus cĂ©lĂšbres de Post Wolcott. Elles sont souvent acclamĂ©es comme lâincarnation dâune originalitĂ© propre Ă la photographe, la preuve dâune «âexception Ă©clatanteâ». Leur popularitĂ© sâest cependant avĂ©rĂ©e bien tardive. Lâensemble du projet est en effet longtemps restĂ© ignorĂ© des critiques et chercheursâ: il a fallu attendre la fin des annĂ©es 1970, au moment des premiĂšres expositions sur Post Wolcott, pour que ne soient dĂ©couvertes pour la premiĂšre fois les photographies de la «âGold Avenueâ». Lâauteur Ă©tudie lâimpact et lâimportance de cette dĂ©couverte tardive dans lâhistoire de la rĂ©ception critique de Post Wolcott.In 1939, Marion Post Wolcott, a young photographer recently hired by the Farm Security Administration, traveled to Florida for several months.

Visualizing the New Deal : The Photographic Exhibitions of the Roosevelt Administration, 1935-1942
Cette Ă©tude porte sur les expositions photographiques produites par le gouvernement amĂ©ricain entre 1935 et 1942. Ces expositions avaient pour but de promouvoir les activitĂ©s entreprises par lâadministration Roosevelt dans le cadre de son programme de relance Ă©conomique. LâĂ©tude est constituĂ©e de trois grandes parties : la premiĂšre prĂ©sente les enjeux politiques et sociaux du New Deal et Ă©claire les dĂ©fis auxquels les propagandistes du gouvernement Roosevelt ont Ă©tĂ© confrontĂ©s. Elle montre alors lâintĂ©rĂȘt et la fonction que la photographie et lâexposition ont eu dans le programme de propagande. La seconde prĂ©sente le rĂŽle jouĂ© par les expositions universelles dans le dĂ©veloppement des techniques scĂ©nographiques employĂ©es par lâadministration. La derniĂšre porte sur les expositions artistiques du gouvernement et sur leur valeur propagandiste.This study focuses on photographic exhibitions produced by the US government between 1935 and 1942. These exhibitions aimed to publicize the Roosevelt administrationâs economic stimulus program. The study is divided into three parts. The first part outlines the political and social issues of the New Deal while shedding light on the challenges faced by the propagandists in the Roosevelt administration, as well as the appeal and function of photography and exhibitions in its propaganda program. The second part considers the role played by world fairsin the development of design techniques employed by the administration. The final section addresses the governmentâs artistic exhibitions and their value as propaganda

Etude de la résistance partielle de la carotte à Alternaria dauci par une approche de phénotypage multi critÚres
The development of carrot varieties with a high and durable level of resistance inevitably requires implementation of highly discriminating phenotyping methods, reproducible and which can beimplemented on large numbers of plants. Current methods of phenotyping are still very often based on visual scoring of symptoms. We report various methods of alternative phenotyping to characterize either the asymptomatic phase by use of new technologies such as qPCR, thermography or chlorophyllfluorescence measurement or the symptomatic phase in using tests under controlled conditions. Advantages and limitations of these methods are discussed.La crĂ©ation de variĂ©tĂ©s prĂ©sentant un niveau de rĂ©sistance fort et durable passe immanquablement par la mise en Ćuvre de mĂ©thodes de phĂ©notypage toujours plus discriminantes, reproductibles et pouvant ĂȘtre mises en Ćuvre sur de grands effectifs. Les mĂ©thodes actuelles de phĂ©notypage font encore trĂšs souvent appel Ă une notation visuelle des symptĂŽmes. Nous rapportons ici la mise en Ćuvre de diffĂ©rentes mĂ©thodes de phĂ©notypage alternatives permettant de caractĂ©riser, soit la phase asymptomatique par lâutilisation de nouvelles technologies telles que la qPCR, la thermographie ou la mesure de fluorescence de chlorophylle, soit la phase symptomatique Ă lâaide de tests en conditions contrĂŽlĂ©es. Les avantages et les limites de ces mĂ©thodes sont abordĂ©s

Persistent headaches one year after bacterial meningitis: prevalence, determinants and impact on quality of life
International audienceBackground: Little is known on headaches long-term persistence after bacterial meningitis and on their impact on patients' quality of life.Methods: In an ancillary study of the French national prospective cohort of community-acquired bacterial meningitis in adults (COMBAT) conducted between February 2013 and July 2015, we collected self-reported headaches before, at onset, and 12 months (M12) after meningitis. Determinants of persistent headache (PH) at M12, their association with M12 quality of life (SF 12), depression (Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale) and neuro-functional disability were analysed.Results: Among the 277 alive patients at M12 87/274 (31.8%), 213/271 (78.6%) and 86/277 (31.0%) reported headaches before, at the onset, and at M12, respectively. In multivariate analysis, female sex (OR: 2.75 [1.54-4.90]; p < 0.001), pre-existing headaches before meningitis (OR: 2.38 [1.32-4.30]; p < 0.01), higher neutrophilic polynuclei percentage in the CSF of the initial lumbar puncture (OR: 1.02 [1.00-1.04]; p < 0.05), and brain abscess during the initial hospitalisation (OR: 8.32 [1.97-35.16]; p < 0.01) were associated with M12 persistent headaches. Neither the responsible microorganism, nor the corticoids use were associated with M12 persistent headaches. M12 neuro-functional disability (altered Glasgow Outcome Scale; p < 0.01), M12 physical handicap (altered modified Rankin score; p < 0.001), M12 depressive symptoms (p < 0.0001), and M12 altered physical (p < 0.05) and mental (p < 0.0001) qualities of life were associated with M12 headaches.Conclusion: Persistent headaches are frequent one year after meningitis and are associated with quality of life alteration
