Zone grise

La critique artistique occidentale contemporaine a tendance à imputer une fonction satirique à l’œuvre d’art grotesque, estimant qu’elle critique l’ordre dominant par le biais d’un renversement extrême susceptible de provoquer un rire amer, inquiet ou même hystérique. L’œuvre grotesque est donc comprise dans le cadre d’un art dissident, qui franchit les limites (morales, rationnelles, du goût) et brouille les distinctions hiérarchiques classiques, fixes ou oppositionnelles, afin de faire ress..

Rehabilitation Care at the Time of Coronavirus Disease-19 (COVID-19) Pandemic: A Scoping Review of Health System Recommendations

Purpose: The coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization in March 2020. COVID-19, caused by SARS-CoV-2 has imposed a significant burden on health care systems, economies, and social systems in many countries around the world. The provision of rehabilitation services for persons with active COVID-19 infection poses challenges to maintaining a safe environment for patients and treating providers. Materials and Methods: Established frameworks were used to guide the scoping review methodology. Medline, Embase, Pubmed, CINAHL databases from inception to August 1, 2020, and prominent rehabilitation organizations\u27 websites were searched. Study Selection: We included articles and reports if they were focused on rehabilitation related recommendations for COVID-19 patients, treating providers, or the general population. Data Extraction: Pairs of team members used a pre-tested data abstraction form to extract data from included full-text articles. The strength and the quality of the extracted recommendations were evaluated by two reviewers using the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) approach. Results: We retrieved 6,468 citations, of which 2,086 were eligible for review, after duplicates were removed. We excluded 1,980 citations based on title and abstract screening. Of the screened full-text articles, we included all 106 studies. A summary of recommendations is presented. We assessed the overall evidence to be strong and of fair quality. Conclusion: The rehabilitation setting, and processes, logistics, and patient and healthcare provider precaution recommendations identified aim to reduce the spread of SARS-CoV-2 infection and ensure adequate and safe rehabilitation services, whether face-to-face or through teleservices. The COVID-19 pandemic is rapidly changing. Further updates will be needed over time in order to incorporate emerging best evidence into rehabilitation guidelines

L’Image railleuse

La fonction critique des images s’incarne de manière privilégiée dans la satire. Si la satire s’est constituée en genre littéraire dès l’Antiquité, avant de gagner les beaux-arts et les arts graphiques à l’âge classique, ce sont les médias modernes – édition, presse, expositions, télévision, internet – qui, en élargissant progressivement sa sphère d’influence, ont renouvelé ses formes et ses objectifs tout en augmentant leur efficacité. Autorisant une diffusion planétaire et presque instantanée des images satiriques, internet et les technologies numériques n’ont pas seulement transformé la matérialité et les moyens d’action de cette imagerie et leurs effets sociopolitiques, ils ont aussi affecté les formes de la recherche sur le satirique en donnant accès de plus en plus rapidement à des corpus extrêmement vastes. La satire est aujourd’hui partout, sans qu’aucun acteur ni canal de diffusion ne puisse prétendre en contrôler ses usages généralisés ni son effectivité. Cette publication regroupe les actes du colloque qui s’est tenu du 25 au 27 juin 2015 à l’Institut national d’histoire de l’art, à Paris, organisé par l’Institut national d’histoire de l’art, l’université du Québec à Montréal et le LARHRA-UMR 5190 du CNRS, avec le soutien de l’Agence universitaire de la Francophonie et le Conseil de recherches en sciences humaines du Canada

In the AND : experimentation and the impossible in the art of John Murchie, Mary Scott and Eric Cameron

It is generally understood that certain kinds of art, particularly those associated with the historical and neo-avant-gardes, are experimental. Sadly, very little scholarship addresses this popular assumption in a serious way. Theorisations of 'experimental art' persistently define it in terms of a break with tradition, a cult of the new, a teleological quest, an aesthetic science of progress or an aggressive nihilism. In most cases, however, experimentation is absorbed by more widely embraced concepts such as 'chance' or 'the absurd.' All too frequently it is left to function simply as an adjective. The artwork of John Murchie, Mary Scott and Eric Cameron provides us with an opportunity to consider programmatic and rhetorical experimentation in greater depth. At the same time, it affords us an experimental protocol in which we are invited to participate pragmatically. The advent of poststructrualism in the late '70s coincided with the production of a discrete group of substantial theoretical and philosophic texts that addressed art and literature from a perspective informed by the avant-garde. In many ways this theory is also an invitation to experiment. At the very least it provides us with an opportunity to consider art in terms of a multiplicity of experimental valences
