Au sujet des mauvaises fréquentations
No full textThis article is the story of a stereotypical way of knowing used to explain different, mad, or bad behavior. These are one-word ways of knowing -- using a metaphor to fit people into a category. The metaphor chosen says all we need to know to explain the behavior to ourselves and others. It goes something like this: “Ah, she’s a liberal or conservative, Latino, Asian, Black, gay, from Quebec or Ontario, Catholic, or Jew and/or bi-polar, alcoholic, single-parent, etc." These stereotypical ways of knowing and explaining are useful, but limiting and deceiving. They explain everything and nothing. They dismiss the need to think. Once invoked, it is challenging to set aside the metaphor and get to know the unique person that it masks. Indeed, this way of knowing is simpler and choreographs the dance of our relationships, albeit with fewer steps. In this article we focus on one particular metaphor often invoked – the metaphor of “the wrong crowd”. We explore the implications of this way of knowing philosophically through the lens of systems theory and social constructionism. We use these frameworks to address some practical issues, challenges and consequences in working to help a person get into the "right crowd." We wonder if the "wrong crowd" might also be the "right crowd?"Le personnel est politique. Nous pensons qu\u27il est important que les psychologues, les conseillers, les thérapeutes et les travailleurs sociaux soient conscients que leur travail peut impliquer un équilibre délicat entre l\u27aide aux clients et le fait d\u27être des agents de la société qui sanctionne leurs rôles. Notre pensée dichotomique et nos critères et valeurs sélectifs pour faire des distinctions font partie de la vision du monde qui crée les règles de nos institutions. Toute institution sanctionnée par la société reflète les valeurs de cette dernière. En particulier, nous avons créé de nombreuses institutions pour « traiter » et « corriger » ou « soigner » les personnes qui se sont retrouvées dans la « mauvaise foule ». Par conséquent, le fait d\u27appartenir à la mauvaise fréquentat constitue-t-il un problème pour ceux qui sont dans la mauvaise fréquentat
Une Base Solide: la croissance post-traumatique chez les thérapeutes
No full textL\u27un des risques du travail thérapeutique est l\u27exposition constante à du matériel traumatogène provenant des clients. L\u27impact cumulatif de cette exposition, le traumatisme vicariant, peut modifier de manière significative la vie personnelle et professionnelle des thérapeutes. Bien que ce changement soit difficile, l\u27exposition au traumatisme offre également une opportunité de croissance post-traumatique. Cet article vise à fournir une brève revue de la littérature sur les concepts de traumatisme vicariant et de croissance post-traumatique, à aider les cliniciens à identifier les facteurs de risque et de protection pour ces deux concepts, et à fournir des outils pratiques pour faciliter la croissance post-traumatique. Il présente de nouvelles questions de réflexion conçues pour cultiver la croissance post-traumatique chez les cliniciens et discute des implications pour les superviseurs.L\u27un des risques du travail thérapeutique est l\u27exposition constante à du matériel traumatogène provenant des clients.

The Impact of UNESCO MGIEP Digital Teacher Training on Nigerian Educators\u27 Digital Pedagogy Competence and Confidence
No full textThis study explores Nigerian educators’ perceptions of digital pedagogy competence and the impact of a UNESCO MGIEP digital teacher training course. The study employs a validated survey and paired sample t-tests to assess the efficacy of a 5-week intervention delivered through synchronous and asynchronous modes. The findings reveal statistically significant improvements in educators\u27 digital pedagogy competence and confidence across multiple domains following Digital Teacher Training, with substantial increases in mean scores from pre-test to post-test (p < .001) and moderate to large effect sizes (Cohen\u27s d ranging from 0.430 to 1.062). These results demonstrate the intervention\u27s efficacy in enhancing educators\u27 proficiency in leveraging digital technologies for instruction, assessment, and student engagement, although a marginal decline was observed in facilitating student self-monitoring through digital means
Divinity, Misery, Women and Light: The Influence of Les Misérables on Van Gogh
No full textThis paper, translated from its original French by the author, explores the connection between Vincent Van Gogh’s portraits and Victor Hugo’s Les Misérables, particularly in regards to their empathy for the working class, their inclination towards spiritualism, and their fascination with light and its manifestations. The examination of these themes displays that the use of light in Les Misérables influenced Van Gogh\u27s approach in depicting the poor, with emphasis on the bodies of women, and his interactions with Hugo’s concept of the divinity of misery.
In this cross-medium discussion, it becomes clear that the desire for fundamental social change, especially for the sake of women, is a driving motivation behind the themes and artistic executions of Van Gogh and Hugo. Both believed that the trends of physical suffering in a society are reminiscent of moral depravity. These issues regarding institutionalized social injustice are still relevant today, and therefore, the radical love these two artists display for the suffering deserves to be studied and preserved
“Boy, That’s a Real Outfit…”: Portrayals of a Black Tank Battalion in Second World War US Army Public Relations
No full textIn this primary source analysis, the author argues United States Army Public Relations\u27 coverage of the all-Black 761st Tank Battalion was intended not to demonstrate their accomplishments but rather to bolster the reputation of White officers. Utilizing a collection of Army Public Relations articles covering various Black units, the author focuses particularly on the 761st due to their service with General George Patton and its extensive documentation in the secondary literature. The author discusses the continuous emphasis on the 761st\u27s accomplishments in relation to White officers--including but not limited to Patton--in both the secondary literature and the Public Relations documents. This is followed by a gendered analysis of Public Relations\u27 subtle invocation of vice and cowardice, as well as race science, to depict Black soldiers\u27 masculinity as inferior to their White comrades. Lastly, the author examines the axes of class and Black soldiers\u27 overrepresentation in more dangerous military jobs, something which the primary source distorts
Cartographies of Health in Sylvaine Dampierre\u27s "Pouvons-nous vivre ici"?
No full textThis article examines how the documentary Pouvons-nous vivre ici? (2002) intervenes in current debates about the uncertain nature of borders and the strategies used to identify them through the lens of nuclear contamination. The film questions the territories of disaster by looking at not only physical maps that locate the geographical range of the Chernobyl nuclear fallout, but also the ways in which the bodies of the villagers and the food they harvest, eat, and sell provide an alternative map of the different zones of contamination sixteen years after the cataclysmic event. Moreover, the concerted juxtaposition of corporeal, geographical, and political maps generates the film’s narrative and visual threads and eschews traditional boundaries of space and place. By drawing from theories of borderscapes, ecocriticism, and cartography, this article thus demonstrates how Dampierre blurs boundaries between the landscape, political maps, and bodies in ways that require attention to the dynamic nature of borders and the environmental and social forces that reconceptualize as well as destabilize them
The Nature of Queer Desire in Céline Sciamma\u27s Filmography
No full textThis article explores four of Céline Sciamma’s feature films, Naissance des pieuvres (2007), Tomboy (2011), Portrait de la jeune fille en feu (2019) and Petite Maman (2021). This article focuses on Sciamma’s queer narratives, as she demonstrates the fluidity of queerness as characters grow and explore themselves. Through a close textual-analysis and reading of Sciamma’s films, this article explores the intersection between ecology and queerness. By exploring the role of the four natural elements as an allegory for queerness throughout her films, this article argues that Sciamma uses the elements to naturalise queer desire
