Revisiting the Faure report: Contemporary legacy and challenged legitimacy
No full textSince its publication in 1972, the Faure report has been regarded as a foundational text on the subject of lifelong learning, offering a plethora of ideas and repertoires. This article contemplates why and how the notions of self-fulfilment and self-learning are interrelated and profoundly important in understanding contemporary lifelong learning discourses, and how both have been appropriated by subsequent policy texts embedded in neoliberal thinking. The author argues that pursuing lifelong learning for self-fulfilment becomes voluntary self-exploitation as the individual’s desire to learn unwittingly becomes driven by the instinct to survive and thrive in neoliberal socio-political environments. He also demonstrates that the ideas and repertoires provided in the Faure report function as a fertile ground for lifelong learning discourses, even though the abundant mix of ideas and propositions make it difficult to view the report as an ideologically coherent and conceptually tight-knit blueprint for the future of education. Nonetheless, the author argues that the legacy of the Faure report is still valid beyond its historical specificity. He points out that when read within the context of the unprecedented worldwide experience of COVID-19, the Faure report’s proposition and reservations regarding mass media and cybernetics can shed light on the potential for contemporary technologies to strengthen emancipatory experiences of lifelong learning. Reflecting on this, he suggests that it is necessary to think collectively about how we can appreciate and harness technological innovation as an emancipatory tool to liberate ourselves from ignorance and prejudice through borderless and limitless connections to others, and to learn how to live with them
Gender and race in the modernist middlebrow:Louise Faure-Favier’s blanche et noir
No full textThis article marks a decisive step towards the recovery of the French woman writer, journalist, and aviation pioneer Louise Faure-Favier, who today is virtually forgotten. The article begins by situating the author, and her recovery, within wider international currents of recent feminist scholarship into neglected and lost modernist “middlebrow” women writers. I then move to analyse Faure-Favier’s innovative modernist exploration of the themes of gender and race, focusing on Blanche et Noir (1928), a novel which connects feminism, race, and aviation technology in startlingly original ways; this section of the analysis also directly engages with historical and theoretical discussions of the phenomenon of the “human zoo.” The final phase of analysis considers at length how Faure-Favier’s novel anticipates Bhabha’s mimicry through its identification of the subversive potential of a generation who, in the postcolonial era, will be understood after Bhabha as mimic men. Faure-Favier’s colonial novel offers potential for a significant expansion of Bhabha’s postcolonial – and uniquely masculine – model through consideration of how gender might interact with mimicry, advancing an argument for a strategic coalition between white women and black men which simultaneously reveals the innovations and contradictions which structure her novel and wider thinking. Faure-Favier’s novel emerges as remarkable in its preoccupation with foregrounding the subversive agency of both women and colonized men. More broadly, this consideration of mimicry in the French colonial context generates new frameworks for the interpretation of complex historical figures. Through the rediscovery of Blanche et Noir, this article offers a decisive account of the previously unrecognized achievements of female modernist authors across Europe who engaged with categories of gender, race, and class in groundbreaking ways, thus leading to a significant shift in the existing understanding of gender, race, and modernism
Reclaiming a future that has not yet been:The Faure report, UNESCO’s humanism and the need for the emancipation of education
No full textFifty years after UNESCO’s publication of Learning to be: The world of education today and tomorrow, the author of this article provides an assessment of this seminal report, commonly known as “the Faure report”. He characterises the educational vision of the report as humanistic and democratic and highlights its emphasis on the need for educational provision throughout the life-course. He demonstrates how the right to education has, over time, been transformed into a duty to learn, Moreover, this duty has been strongly tied to economic purposes, particularly the individual’s duty to remain employable in a fast-changing labour market. Rather than suggesting that Edgar Faure and his International Commission on the Development of Education set a particular agenda for education that has, over time, been replaced by an altogether different agenda, the author suggests a reading of the report which understands it as making a case for a particular relationship between education and society, namely one in which the integrity of education itself is acknowledged and education is not reduced to a mere instrument for delivering particular agendas. Looking back at the report five decades later, he argues that it provides a strong argument for the emancipation of education itself, and that this argument is still needed in the world of today.</p
Comparaison des mesures hémodynamiques pulmonaires à l’effort entre l’hypertension pulmonaire sévère du groupe 3 et l’hypertension artérielle pulmonaire
No full textL’hypertension pulmonaire (HTP) sévère est une complication connue de l’insuffisance respiratoire chronique (IRC). L’HTP sévère liée à l’IRC, définie par une PAPm > 35 mmHg ou une diminution de l’index cardiaque (IC) < 2,5 l/min/m2, est beaucoup plus rare. Cette dernière entité présente des caractéristiques fonctionnelles et hémodynamiques plus sévères, se rapprochant de celles de l’hypertension artérielle pulmonaire. Tous les patients atteints d'HTAP et d'HTP du groupe 3 ont été inclus rétrospectivement entre janvier 2005 et décembre 2015. Tous ont bénéficié d’un cathétérisme cardiaque droit avec épreuve d’effort sur bicyclette ergonomique et d’un test de marche de 6 minutes (TM6). Les données fonctionnelles respiratoires ont également été colligées. 3 groupes ont été comparés : HTP du groupe 3 sévère, HTP du groupe 3 non sévère et HTAP. 130 patients ont été inclus entre le 1er janvier 2005 et le 31 décembre 2015. 20 dans le groupe HTP non sévère, 51 dans le groupe HTP sévère et 59 dans le groupe HTAP. Les patients avec une HTP due à une maladie respiratoire étaient plus âgés (moyennes respectives de 64 et 67 ans pour les groupes HTP non sévère et sévère) que les patients du groupe HTAP (54 ans). Le VEMS et la CVF étaient significativement plus sévères dans le groupe HTP non sévère (VEMS 42% ± 25,9, CVF 68% ± 20,5 et VEMS/CVF 48% ± 21,1), que dans le groupe HTP sévère due à une IRC (VEMS 66% ± 26,6, CVF 82% ± 21,7 et VEMS/CVF 62% ± 16,3). Les valeurs moyennes de distance au TM6 dans les 3 groupes étaient de 308 ± 24 m, 266 ± 14 m et 377 ± 14 m, respectivement dans les groupes HTP non sévère, HTP sévère et HTAP. La pression artérielle pulmonaire moyenne (PAPm) était de 29 mmHg, 40 mmHg et 49 mmHg, et l’index cardiaque (IC) de 3,1 l/min/m2, 2,4 l/min/m2 et 2,1 l/min/m2, respectivement dans le groupe HTP non sévère, HTP sévère et HTAP. Dans le groupe des patients avec une HTP sévère due à une IRC, le TM6 était corrélé à la PAP systolique (PAPs) au repos (r = –0,389, p = 0,005), les résistances vasculaires pulmonaires (RVP) au repos (r = –0,451, p = 0,001), la ΔPAPs(repos-effort) (r = 0,561, p < 0,001) et le ΔIC(repos-effort) (r = 0,421, p = 0,002). Dans le groupe des patients avec une HTAP, le TM6 était corrélé au ΔPAPs(repos-effort) (r = 0,393, p = 0,002), et le ΔIC(reposeffort) (r = 0,416, p = 0,001). Ces résultats montrent des similitudes entre les groupes HTAP et HTP sévères du groupe 3. Comme dans l’HTAP, on observe chez les sujets avec une HTP sévère du groupe 3, une distance parcourue au TM6 plus élevée chez les patients qui présentent une ΔPAPs(repos-effort) et une ΔIC(repos-effort) plus importante lors du cathétérisme cardiaque droit, ce qui témoigne d'une meilleure adaptation du ventricule droit à l’exercice
Il ritratto di Jean-Baptiste Faure. Un inedito busto di Vincenzo Gemito nei depositi dell’Opéra Garnier di Parigi
No full textThe following article is the first analysis of the Portrait of Jean-Baptiste Faure by Vincenzo Gemito, whose location and conservation status had not been known until now. This unprecedented analysis has been conducted and demonstrated thanks to pictures taken by the author and precise historiographical sources. The research includes the study of historical and social matters that are useful to retrace the history of the Potrait, as well as the relations that Gemito had in Paris with the artistic and social environments of the city. With the support of archivial and bibliography sources, the author aimed to focus on the period from 1877 and 1878, years within which the bust should be dated, as it was exposed at the Salon of 1878 with the Portrait of Giovanni Boldini
Diabète de type I : place du pharmacien d’officine
No full textLe diabète de type 1 appelé aussi diabète insulino-dépendant est une pathologie métabolique chronique qui touche de plus en plus de personne. Le diabète de type 1 est une pathologie juvénile touchant essentiellement les enfants et les jeunes adultes.C’est une affection métabolique, caractérisée par une hyperglycémie chronique liée à une carence absolue ou quasi absolue de l’insulinosécrétion. La définition des états diabétiques se base actuellement sur un paramètre unique : la glycémie.Une prise en charge pluridisciplinaire de l’ensemble des professionnels de santé est primordiale. De part son rôle, le pharmacien est le professionnel de santé le plus visité par le patient (au moins une fois par mois), ce qui le place dans une position privilégiée pour le suivi et l’orientation du patient dans son parcours de soin.L’éducation thérapeutique ne se résume pas à une simple information du patient sur sa pathologie mais doit faire partie intégrante de sa prise en charge au quotidien. Cette discipline place le patient et non pas la maladie au centre de la réflexion.Ainsi, il doit être conscient et informé sur sa pathologie, sur les soins qu’elle implique, sur les comportements à avoir face à celle-ci. L’éducation thérapeutique a donc pour objectif de rendre le patient diabétique acteur de son traitement afin de lui permettre d’acquérir, de maintenir et d’améliorer sa qualité de vie tout en préservant son autonomie.Nous aborderons dans cette thèse la définition, la physiopathologie du diabète de type I, les méthodes de diagnostics et les complications que celui-ci peut engendrer. Nous verrons ensuite les mesures hygiéno-diététiques et les stratégies thérapeutiques mises en œuvre. Puis nous nous concentrerons sur le rôle du pharmacien d’officine dans la prise en charge du patient diabétique

The sacred choral music of Francis Poulenc: a contextual and analytical study
No full textPoulenc is perhaps best known for his instrumental works, for his adherence to the aesthetics of Neo-classicism, and his place among the Parisian intellectual circles in tJie 1920s and 1930s in which his friend, Jean Cocteau, played a central role. This essentially secular side of Poulenc's creativity was, after the composer's return to Roman Catholicism in 1936, challenged by a need to express a newly-found religious conviction in sacred music. Consequently Poulenc, who had been accustomed to the secular aesthetics of Neo-classicism of Parisian artistic life and the French capital's concert halls, found it necessary to 'rediscover' and assimilate the language of French church music and its history (notably through the filter of the Cecilian Movement, Niedermeyer and the pkinchant of Solesmes) in order to create for himself an appropriate 'sacred style’ that could also incorporate those essential elements of his characteristically playful and sensual, 'secular' language. This study aims to explore this confrontation of styles and how Poulenc successfully forged a cohesive and congruent language for his sacred works. The opening chapters have several distinct perspectives: chapter one outlines the tortuous history of the Church's relationship with the State in France dating back to the pivotal effects of the 1789 Revolution, in an attempt to provide a necessary context for the importance that Poulenc and his predecessors and contemporaries (most significantly Debussy) attached to the past; chapter two, by contrast, discusses some of the principal issues at the heart of Parisian artistic society in the early decades of the twentieth century and focuses on the lively artistic community which existed in Paris with the influx of large numbers of foreign musicians (particularly Americans and Russians) and artists, the emergence of 'Les Six' (of which Poulenc was a member) and the artistic leadership and inspiration given by figures such as Jean Cocteau, Serge Diaghilev and Igor Stravinsky. Cocteau and Stravinsky, indeed, had a huge impact on the young Poulenc. The second part of the thesis is an analytical study of Poulenc's sacred works (putting aside the Gloria, Stabat Mater and Sept Repais de Tetibres which are unmistakably concert works) and connects these analyses with the issues presented in the earlier chapters, beginning with the emotionally powerful Litanies a la vierge noire for women’s voices, composed soon after his Catholic faith returned in 1936, and ending with the decidedly hard-edged, Stravinskian Neo-classicism, yet relative placidity, of the Laudes de Saint Antoine de Padoue for men's voices, completed in Cannes in 1959. Central to the analytical discussion are the well known eclectic Mass in G (1937), the dramatic Quatre motets pour un temps de penitence (1939) and the stylistically distilled Quatre petite prieres de Saint Francois d'Assise which display the greatest variety of style and form and which combine to present significant examples of Poulenc's skilful unification of sacred and secular, ancient and modem sound worlds
