L'intrigue de ce livre est centrée sur Mademba Sèye - Mademba Sy, parti du statut de télégraphiste en 1879 pour atteindre, avec l'aide de ses parrains français, le rang de roi africain (en bambara fama) des États de Sansanding sur les rives du Niger. En 1899, Fama Mademba, Sénégalais né à Saint-Louis du Sénégal, est assigné à résidence à Kayes au motif d'abus de pouvoir, de meurtres rituels, de viols et d'extorsion des fonds.
« Le poème, qui est une relation amoureuse avec les mots, est aussi une relation amoureuse avec le poète, le lecteur, avec un lecteur qui le croit amoureusement nécessaire... Moi, j'aurais raté une partie de ma vie si je n'avais pas lu Rimbaud. Si je n'avais pas aimé Rimbaud. Il suffirait que, pour un seul lecteur, cette relation existe avec un seul de mes poèmes pour que ma poésie, mon "inutile poésie", me paraisse à jamais justifiable ». (Paul-Marie Lapointe)
Cinquante ans après leur création, Le chat dans le sac de Gilles Groulx et À tout prendre de Claude Jutra ne peuvent nous laisser insensibles à leur quête de liberté, tout comme aux doutes et tourments qui les habitent. De quelle manière ces deux films résonnent-ils encore aujourd'hui? Ce dossier de 24 images cherche à réaffirmer l'inaltérable actualité du cinéma de Groulx et de Jutra en replongeant d'abord dans l'esprit de l'époque (témoignages d'artisans ayant oeuvré sur les deux films; récits de cinéastes sur leur rapport avec ces deux oeuvres) puis en créant des parallèles avec le jeune cinéma québécois actuel (absence de portée politique et sociale, « néovérisme » pessimiste, etc.).
Our basic assumption about the law is that it is designed to operate fairly and openly. But with human beings as the ultimate decision makers, how do we prevent discrimination within the legal arena, and how does the law decide whether others have behaved in a discriminatory manner? Social Consciousness in Legal Decision Making examines four controversial areas involving people's perceptions of others-racial profiling, affirmative action, workplace harassment, and hate speech/hate crime-from the perspectives of psychology, decision theory, and the law.
This book's contributing experts raise these critical questions:
How valid are legal assumptions about human behavior?
What cognitive processes underlie biased behavior?
What do personal experience and situational cues contribute to decision making?
How do individuals' perceptions of the law influence their judgment?
Can psychology help legislators write more effective laws?
In answering them, the book:
Compares rational, descriptive, and normative decision-making models in legal contexts
Provides important insights into legal decision making by non-specialists (police, administrators, jurors)
Clarifies and broadens the role of social science in the courts
Promotes improved dialogue between the field of psychology and law to create a more socially aware jurisprudence.
Social Consciousness in Legal Decision Making invites the legal and psychology communities to work together in solving some of our most pressing social problems.
Probabilistic Modelling in Bioinformatics and Medical Informatics has been written for researchers and students in statistics, machine learning, and the biological sciences. The first part of this book provides a self-contained introduction to the methodology of Bayesian networks. The following parts demonstrate how these methods are applied in bioinformatics and medical informatics. All three fields - the methodology of probabilistic modeling, bioinformatics, and medical informatics - are evolving very quickly. The text should therefore be seen as an introduction, offering both elementary tutorials as well as more advanced applications and case studies.

Pierre Uri, ancien élève de l'École Normale Supérieure, agrégé de philosophie, s'est consacré à l'économie. Après avoir dressé les premiers Comptes de la Nation, il a joué un rôle de premier plan dans l'élaboration des Traités européens : il a jeté les bases de la C.E.C.A., et préparé le Marché Commun, dont on peut dire qu'il est le principal architecte.
Dans Dialogue des Continents, il a lancé un programme d'action commune entre l'Europe et l'Amérique.
Dans Une Politique monétaire pour l'Amérique Latine, il traite d'un problème qui commande l'ordre et le progrès dans une région décisive du monde. Les analyses présentées ont bénéficié d'un travail en commun avec les meilleurs experts, Nicholas Kaldor, Richard Ruggles, et Robert Triffin. Adaptant la théorie de l'inflation aux conditions des pays en développement, subtituant aux recettes classiques la conception de stratégies ajustées aux circonstances, ce livre dépasse les frontières du continent qui lui sert de point d'application.

The authors present a variety of interesting examples of measures used in workplaces, to motivate and enable workers to stay longer in working life. This book is an encounter between research and policy: it contributes to the discussion of policies related to older workers.

Cet essai de Robert Richard a pour motif central le mythe de l'Annonciation, fondateur de l'Europe contractualiste moderne. L'auteur démontre l'importance de l'invasion des «barbares», de la rencontre avec l'Autre et du contrat que l'on passe avec lui, entente étrange d'où naît le sujet politique libre. L'essai de Robert Richard a l'originalité de parler de l'Europe à partir d'un point de vue américain et de traiter du politique à partir de textes littéraires de Dante, Sade et Aquin.
Why a book about the ethics of forensic psychiatry and related disciplines? Most psychiatrists, after all, learn something in their training about the ethics of medical practice in general and of the practice of psychiatry in particular. Do the maxims that steer all physicians through the ethical complexities of clinical medicine not provide equally effective guidance to clinical and scientific expert witnesses? The answer, in short, is "No. " When psychiatrists, for example, enter the realm of the expert witness, they tread on moral terrain with a significantly different topography than the paths to which they are accustomed in their clinical roles. Clinical psych- trists owe primary allegiance to their patients'interests; for them the prin- ples of beneficence (doing good) and non-maleficence (avoiding harm) will generally take priority over all other considerations. For psychiatrists who serve as experts, however, there are no patients to whom fidelity is due. There are only persons being evaluated for the sake of providing opinions to third parties. Perhaps a defendant in a criminal case, a plaintiff in a tort action, or a claimant in an adjudication of disability benefits or workers' compensation-but not a patient. And that makes all the difference. Whatever its other virtues, no theory of the ethics of forensic psychiatry will serve its purpose unless it offers the psychiatric expert direction in dealing with this situation.

Claude Vivier, compositeur méconnu au Québec, est né à Montréal en 1948. Il meurt assassiné à Paris en 1983. Il a fait ses études avec Gilles Tremblay et Karlheinz Stockhausen. Son oeuvre - qui contient une quarantaine de titres - est inclassable, s'inspirant de ou bougeant à travers des époques très différentes de l'histoire de la musique, depuis le Moyen Âge jusqu'à la musique dite « spectrale » des années 1980. C'est une oeuvre d'une grande originalité, qui a choisi la fuite hors des attentes ou des formes prévues et qui a cherché à délirer les continents, les langues, les peuples.
L'oeuvre de Garant est une oeuvre commençante, en ce sens qu'elle ouvre, à chaque tournant, sur quelque chose de nouveau. Toutefois, ce nouveau reste étroitement lié à l'histoire de la musique, à son évolution, c'est-à-dire à la musique qua musique. D'où le rapport avec Bach, si central à l'oeuvre de Garant. Ainsi, chez Garant, la musique serait-elle ce qui se dirige, comme dans une tempête sur la mer, vers un point obscur à l'horizon, un point complètement inconnu que je nomme « point d'intensité ». D'où une oeuvre qui participe d'une évolution sans finalité, c'est-à-dire totalement imprévisible et, à cet égard, infiniment commençante.
