L’encadrement juridique de la violence conjugale : étude comparée France – Québec
No full textCe mémoire vise à analyser la réponse juridique apportée aux violences conjugales en France et au Québec. Nous nous attachons à analyser leur encadrement en France et au Québec, en mettant en évidence la manière dont elles sont définies et sanctionnées dans les cadres législatifs. Cette étude s’intéresse également à comparer les mesures de protection offertes aux victimes, des ordonnances de protection françaises aux tribunaux spécialisés récemment mis en place au Québec. Cette comparaison vient souligner l’importance d’une approche globale combinant prévention, protection des victimes et répression des auteurs de violence. Ce mémoire s’articule en deux parties : la première est consacrée à l’évolution de l’encadrement de la notion de violence conjugale, puis à la définition des violences conjugales dans la loi française et canadienne-québécoise, la seconde partie se concentre sur les mesures de protection mises en place et sur la question du meurtre du conjoint.This thesis aims to analyze the legal response to domestic violence in France and Quebec. It examines how domestic violence is defined and sanctioned within the legislative frameworks of both jurisdictions. This study also seeks to compare the protective measures available to victims, from French protection orders to the specialized courts recently established in Quebec. This comparison highlights the importance of a comprehensive approach that combines prevention, victim protection, and the prosecution of offenders. The thesis is structured in two parts: the first explores the evolution of the legal framework surrounding domestic violence, followed by an analysis of its definition in French and Quebec-Canadian law. The second part focuses on the protective measures in place and the issue of intimate partner homicide
Art, Biography, Sexuality: Patrick Procktor and Keith Vaughan
No full textThis critical review forms a reflection on the research published within the following publications:
Patrick Procktor: Art and Life (Unicorn Press, 2010)
Keith Vaughan: The Mature Oils 1946-1977, (Sansom & Co., 2012)
The research is on two artists, Patrick Procktor (1936-2003), and Keith Vaughan (1912-1977). The monograph on Procktor – previously one of the least documented of the generation of artists who came to prominence in London in the Sixties – positions him in a history of art from which he had been notably absent. The research on Vaughan asserts a new reading of his work, one that is both deeper and more nuanced in its analysis of the ways in which personal experience and sexuality are encoded autobiographically within his work. Crucially, in both artists biography and work are symbiotically linked; the research therefore examines the links between life and art.
Revisionary in intent, the work examines trajectories of experience of gay British (or rather, English) artists in the twentieth century, artists who sought to express themselves and forge careers within the constraints of a heteronormative society, albeit one in which attitudes to sexuality were undergoing change. As gay men, both were constrained by the social mores of their times, and each used painting as a means to affirm personal and sexual identities. A key research interest is in the ways in which sexuality and persona are reflected in critical responses to the artist’s work: in Vaughan, Procktor and other gay male artists of the period. The writing on both Procktor and Vaughan examines the relationship between their personal and professional/artistic lives, framed within a broader socio-political and art historical context. It asserts the place of biography as a means to understand and form new readings of the work. The work adds substantially to the literature and wider discourse on post-war British painting and social history
Patrick Chamoiseau Recovering Memory
No full textThis timely new book skillfully examines the work of the award-winning writer Patrick Chamoiseau. Considered by many as one of the most innovative writers to hit the French literary scene in over 40 years, Chamoiseau made his name with his book Texaco (published in 1992 and winner of the highest literary prize in France, the Prix Goncourt). His books have gone on to sell millions and his work has been translated by a number of academic presses. McCusker sets the author in context, providing a valuable contribution to 'memory studies' by looking at literary representation of memory in Martinique, a society founded on slavery but now politically assimilated to the metropolitan centre, France.Title Page -- Contents -- Introduction -- 1: Beginnings: The Enigma of Origin -- 2: 'Une tracée de survie': Autobiographical Memory -- 3: Memory Re-collected: Witnesses and Words -- 4: Memory Materialized: Traces of the Past -- 5: Flesh Made Word: Traumatic Memory in Biblique des derniers gestes -- Afterword -- Notes -- Bibliography -- IndexThis timely new book skillfully examines the work of the award-winning writer Patrick Chamoiseau.

Medicine at the Bar: Medical Experts, Lawyers, and the Making of Malpractice in the Courtroom
No full textThis dissertation shows, via a detailed analysis of trial proceedings, how medical malpractice is made in the courtroom. To show this I build on insights from work in the fields of philosophy, history, and sociology of medicine and science. I draw these insights together into a general, rhetorical perspective on the evidentiary process that takes place at trial. This perspective is then deployed in a case study of a single trial. Throughout the dissertation I focus on knowledge of the medical standard of care: the norm against which the conduct of physician–defendants is compared to determine whether or not malpractice occurred. Knowledge of the standard is of a particular kind. In many cases, this knowledge cannot be separated from the argumentative work that takes place during the trial. Furthermore, knowledge of the past events themselves—i.e. physician–defendants’ past actions in the situations in which they found themselves—cannot be separated from said argumentative work. The purview of this argumentative work is extensive, since it also includes authorizing certain people—medical expert witnesses—to opine regarding the events. The case study allows me to underscore the extent to which the trial is not only an argumentative practice, but also a highly disciplined and particularized inquiry into past events. Thus the standard of care is a product of the trial qua argumentative, disciplined, and particularized inquiry. This challenges prevailing conceptions of the standard of care in the doctrine and jurisprudence. Following these, the standard of care is akin to a fact that exists independently of the trial, and the trial is merely a means to make this fact accessible to the judge or jury with the least amount of distortion. I argue, contra these conceptions, that the trial has value in itself because it yields knowledge that cannot be gained any other way. In the case of the medical standard of care, it is knowledge made up of heterogeneous considerations—technical, scientific, moral, and legal—brought to bear on specific actions in specific situations.S.J.D
Quebec professional law as an obstacle to interprofessional care
No full textI argue that Quebec professional law poses an obstacle to the implementation of interprofessional care in the healthcare system. Interprofessional care is distinct from multi-professional care. The former requires different types of professionals to work in a thoroughly integrated fashion, constantly communicating and collaborating, sharing knowledge and decision-making responsibility. The latter only requires patients to be seen by different types of professionals; it allows for minimal communication and little or no sharing of tasks, knowledge and responsibilities. In Chapter 1, I describe Quebec's professional system—the legal regime that regulates all professions in the province. One of the central characteristics of this system is the fact that it organizes professions into reserved scopes of practice, which determine the types of activities that professionals are legally entitled to perform. In Chapter 2, I describe the history of the professional system, in order to expose the reasons for which professional law acts as an obstacle to the implementation of interprofessional care. I argue that these reasons are rooted in history. I give an overview of the general historical context, and show how the professional system and the healthcare system are historically intertwined. I then focus on a key actor in the emergence of these two systems: the Castonguay-Nepveu Commission. I argue that this parliamentary commission's report laid the conceptual foundation for today's professional and healthcare systems. I focus on the ways in which the Commission rationalized its proposals using a discourse whose essential features persist to this day in professional law and the professional system. In Chapter 3, I describe how the Commission's discourse contributes to perpetuating dynamics that obstruct the implementation of interprofessional care. Professions are separated from each other in rigid and unproductive ways. Professions' incentives towards collaboration are decreased. The team ethos that is necessary for true interprofessional care is undermined by professional rivalry. I conclude that in order to truly implement interprofessional care in the healthcare system, our understanding of professions and professional regulation must change. Otherwise, future reforms of professional law will fail to remove the obstacles to interprofessional care that I describe.Mon argument est le suivant : le droit professionnel québécois constitue un obstacle à la mise en œuvre de soins interprofessionnels dans le système de santé. Les soins « interprofessionnels » sont distincts de ceux dits « multi-professionnels ». Dans le premier cas, les divers professionnels soignant le patient travaillent ensemble de manière profondément intégrée : communiquant et collaborant constamment, et partageant savoir et responsabilité décisionnelle. Dans le second cas, les patients ne font que consulter et être soignés par divers professionnels, sans que ces derniers ne communiquent ensemble de manière poussée et sans partage réel de tâches, savoir, et responsabilités. Dans le Chapitre 1, je décris le système professionnel québécois—le régime juridique encadrant toutes les professions de la province. Une des caractéristiques clef de ce système est qu'il organise les professions selon des sphères d'activités réservées qui déterminent les types d'activités que les professionnels peuvent légalement entreprendre. Dans le Chapitre 2, je décris l'histoire du système professionnel afin d'exposer pourquoi le droit professionnel agit comme obstacle à la mise en œuvre des soins interprofessionnels. Je soutiens que les causes ont des racines historiques. Je donne un aperçu du contexte historique général dans lequel sont nés le système professionnel et le système de santé, et je démontre comment ces deux systèmes sont historiquement entremêlés. Je me concentre plus particulièrement sur un acteur central de l'émergence de ceux deux systèmes : la Commission Castonguay-Nepveu. Je soutiens que cette commission parlementaire est à l'origine du cadre conceptuel sur lequel s'appuient ces deux systèmes. Je détaille la manière dont la Commission rationnalise ses recommandations à travers un discours dont les caractéristiques essentielles persistent à ce jour dans le droit professionnel et le système professionnel. Dans le Chapitre 3, je décris comment le discours de la Commission contribue à perpétuer des dynamiques qui obstruent la mise en œuvre des soins interprofessionnels. Les professions se trouvent séparées les unes des autres de manière rigide et non-productive. Les professions voient leurs incitatifs à la collaboration diminués. L'esprit d'équipe nécessaire à la mise en œuvre de réels soins interprofessionnels est miné par les rivalités professionnelles. Je viens à la conclusion suivante : afin de réellement mettre en œuvre les soins interprofessionnels dans le système de santé, la manière dont nous comprenons les professions et la réglementation professionnelle doit changer. À défaut, de futures réformes du droit professionnel n'enlèveront pas l'obstacle que le droit professionnel pose aux soins interprofessionnels

The investigation in "Dora Bruder" of Patrick Modiano
No full textreservedIl presente lavoro si propone di affrontare il tema dell’indagine, dell’inchiesta investigativa nel romanzo “Dora Bruder” dello scrittore francese Patrick Modiano, pubblicato nel 1997. Si tratta del più noto successo editoriale dell’autore, il quale, in una narrazione al contempo biografica ed autobiografica, si mette sulle tracce di Dora Bruder, una giovane ragazza ebrea scomparsa nel 1941, di cui si sono perse definitivamente le tracce. La presente tesi si compone di tre capitoli. Nel primo, si analizzeranno i motivi che spingono l’autore ad occuparsi della vicenda della giovane ragazza scomparsa proprio durante la seconda guerra mondiale. Successivamente, nel secondo capitolo, si passerà ad affrontare come l’autore compie la propria indagine per comprendere che cosa le sia accaduto, diventando una sorta di investigatore su un vecchio caso di scomparsa. Ed infine, nell’ultimo capitolo, si analizzerà quale sarà l’esito della sua indagine.This work proposes to deal with the subject of investigation in the novel "Dora Bruder" by French writer Patrick Modiano, published in 1997.

This thesis is composed by three chapters. In the first, we will analyse the reasons why the author deal with the story of the young girl vanished during the Second World War. Then, in the second chapter, we will approach how the author does his own investigation to understand what happened to her, becoming sort of a detective on an old case of disappearence. Finally, in the last chapter, we focus on which it’ll be the outcome of his investigation
