Abstract

La récente émergence du SRAS (syndrome respiratoire aigu sévère) rappelle la vulnérabilité de l’homme face aux maladies infectieuses. La diffusion possible de certains virus à l’échelle planétaire, liée au développement des transports et à leur rapidité croissante, fait que nous sommes désormais tous concernés. À travers de nombreux exemples, cet ouvrage présente le concept de virus émergents et analyse les facteurs qui favorisent cette émergence. L’homme y tient une place déterminante par les modifications majeures qu’il apporte à l’écosystème et par l’évolution très rapide de ses modes de vie (urbanisation, politiques de santé, pratiques socio-culturelles). Sont également exposées les propriétés évolutives des virus – en particulier des virus à ARN – au niveau biologique et moléculaire, qui jouent un rôle important dans leur adaptation à l’homme et leur diffusion. Quelles menaces pour le futur ? L’un des risques majeurs réside dans l’extrême diversité des virus découverts dans les zones tropicales, virus potentiellement responsables des maladies émergentes de demain. Seule l’implantation durable de centres de recherche et de surveillance dans ces zones peut permettre la détection précoce de ces nouveaux agents. L’expansion des viroses existantes est également analysée, ainsi que les risques entraînés par l’apparition de virus mutants, susceptibles de provoquer une nouvelle pandémie de grippe.

Abstract

"Why, at the peak of the Jim Crow era early in the twentieth century, did life expectancy for African Americans rise dramatically? And why, when public officials were denying African Americans access to many other public services, did public water and sewer service for African Americans improve and expand? Using the qualitative and quantitative tools of demography, economics, geography, history, law, and medicine, Werner Troesken shows that the answers to these questions are closely connected. Arguing that in this case, racism led public officials not to deny services but to improve them - the only way to "protect" white neighborhoods against waste from black neighborhoods was to install water and sewer systems in both - Troesken shows that when cities and towns had working water and sewer systems, typhoid and other waterborne diseases were virtually eradicated. This contributed to the great improvements in life expectancy (both in absolute terms and relative to whites) among urban blacks between 1900 and 1940. Citing recent demographic and medical research findings that early exposure to typhoid increases the probability of heart problems later in life, Troesken argues that building water and sewer systems not only reduced waterborne disease rates, it also improved overall health and reduced mortality from other diseases." "Troesken draws on many independent sources of evidence, including data from the Negro Mortality Project, econometric analysis of waterborne disease rates in blacks and whites, analysis of case law on discrimination in the provision of municipal services, and maps showing the location of black and white households. He argues that all evidence points to one conclusion: that there was much less discrimination in the provision of public water and sewer systems than would seem likely in the era of Jim Crow."--BOOK JACKET.

Abstract

The study of narrative has been a continuous concern from antiquity to the present day because stories are everywhere - from fiction across media to nation building and personal identity. "Handbook of Narrative Analysis" sorts out both traditional and recent narrative theories, providing the necessary skills to interpret any story that comes along. In addition to discussing classical theorists such as Gerard Genette, Mieke Bal, and Seymour Chatman, "Handbook of Narrative Analysis" presents precursors (such as E. M. Forster), related theorists (Franz Stanzel, Dorrit Cohn), and a large variety of postclassical critics.Among the latter, particular attention is paid to the ethics of reading, gender theory, and "possible worlds." Not content to consider theory as an end in itself, Luc Herman and Bart Vervaeck use two stories by contemporary authors as a touchstone to illustrate each narrative approach, thereby illuminating the practical implications of theoretical preferences and ideological leanings. Marginal glosses guide the reader through discussions of theoretical issues, and an extensive bibliography points readers to the most current publications in the field.Written in an accessible style, this handbook combines a comprehensive treatment of its subject with a user-friendly format, appropriate for specialists and nonspecialists alike. Luc Herman is a professor of American literature and literary theory at the University of Antwerp in Belgium. He is a Pynchon specialist and the author of "Concepts of Realism". Bart Vervaeck is a professor of Dutch literature and literary theory at the Free University Brussels. He is the author of a study on postmodern Dutch literature.
