Les mondes de l'action théâtrale ::dans les quartiers populaires en France et en Italie
No full textL’ouvrage de Francesca Quercia examine l’action théâtrale dans les quartiers populaires et il nous donne à voir l’émergence d’un « monde » social et professionnel, à l’intersection des secteurs de la politique de la ville et de la culture, du théâtre professionnel, de l’animation socio-culturelle et des mouvements sociaux. L’analyse de cet « espace interstitiel », comme elle le désigne, est importante car celui-ci cristallise de nombreuses tensions et évolutions plus larges, qui travaillent tant l’action publique et le monde associatif que le traitement des catégories populaires. Cet espace met en jeu les différentes conceptions du rôle politique et émancipateur de la culture, autour du débat entre démocratie et démocratisation culturelle, notamment. Il donne à voir les transformations contemporaines du monde associatif, un univers qui se professionnalise depuis plusieurs décennies mais qui est également marqué par des logiques fortes, et à certaines égards croissantes, d’amateurisme ; un univers qui dépend également de systèmes de financements de plus en plus complexes et contraignants, et qui obéit à des injonctions souvent contradictoires, en particulier quant au rapport aux publics visés. Ce monde de l’action théâtrale se réclame enfin de la participation des habitants des quartiers populaires et donne à voir les tensions dans lesquelles celle-ci est régulièrement prise : comment faire de l’empowerment avec des populations qui sont définies avant tout sur la base des handicaps dont elles sont censées être les porteuses ? Ce sont donc des questions importantes, et l’ouvrage de Francesca Quercia apporte des contributions notables tant à la sociologie des professions, de la culture, de l’action publique que des associations. Mais ce sont également des enjeux politiques essentiels, et en ce sens ce livre s’adresse aussi à un public plus large que le seul univers académique spécialisé

A DH-Leavened Musicological Toolbox
No full textGraduate-level training in music research methodologies tends to ignore digital humanities work and overlook the use of digital tools created in support of new forms of reading. Training instead focuses on source material in the student’s area of interest. This material includes secondary and primary (archival) resources, as well as information resources, such as: monuments of music and critical editions; indexes; bibliographies and thematic catalogs; dictionaries and encyclopedias; digital libraries of scores or editions; and databases of period-specific newspapers or journals. Graduate students taking research methods courses already have a toolbox built from their experiences as musicians and students of music, including the ability to read and interpret music notation, to understand theoretical and analytical concepts in music, as well as a command of music history, including the canon of musical works.
Digital humanities has become a major area of academic endeavor at the “interface of technological development, epistemological change and methodological concerns." An important characteristic of digital humanities research has been its interdisciplinarity. We argue that graduate training in musicology needs to include coverage of methodologies applied by digital humanists in support of new forms of reading, not only to broaden the canon of research topics in musicology, but also to build common ground with researchers of other disciplines. We propose that librarians are well positioned to provide this expertise and training
Recognition patterns of acute kidney injury in hospitalized patients
No full textBackground Acute kidney injury (AKI) during hospitalization is associated with increased complications and mortality. Despite efforts to standardize AKI management, its recognition in clinical practice is limited.Methods To assess and characterize different patterns of AKI diagnosis, we collected clinical data, serum creatinine (sCr) levels, comorbidities and outcomes from adult patients using the Hospital Discharge Form (HDF). AKI diagnosis was based on administrative data and according to Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria by evaluating sCr variations during hospitalization. Additionally, patients were categorized based on the timing of AKI onset.Results Among 56 820 patients, 42 900 (75.5%) had no AKI, 1893 (3.3%) had AKI diagnosed by sCr changes and coded in the HDF (full-AKI), 2529 (4.4%) had AKI reported on the HDF but not meeting sCr-based criteria (HDF-AKI) and 9498 (16.7%) had undetected AKI diagnosed by sCr changes but not coded in the HDF (KDIGO-AKI). Overall, AKI incidence was 24.5%, with a 68% undetection rate. Patients with KDIGO-AKI were younger and had a higher proportion of females, lower comorbidity burden, milder AKI stages, more frequent admissions to surgical wards and lower mortality compared with full-AKI patients. All AKI groups had worse outcomes than those without AKI, and AKI, even if undetected, was independently associated with mortality risk. Patients with AKI at admission had different profiles and better outcomes than those developing AKI later.Conclusions AKI recognition in hospitalized patients is highly heterogeneous, with a significant prevalence of undetection. This variability may be affected by patients' characteristics, AKI-related factors, diagnostic approaches and in-hospital patient management. AKI remains a major risk factor, emphasizing the importance of ensuring proper diagnosis for all patients
A Twitter Case Study for Assessing Digital Sound
No full textAcademic and cultural heritage institutions around the world have made measurable strides in the development of digital sound archives oriented towards research and access, but their impact on scholarship and society has been little studied. Traditionally, impact has been measured by citations; yet these are problematic metrics for non-traditional outputs like sound recordings. Social media data provide a promising avenue of investigation for measuring scholarly as well as societal impact. Twitter in particular has been shown to provide a high number of references for cultural and research outputs in all disciplines. This study analyzes Twitter references pertaining to the collections of five digital sound archives: British Library Sounds, Europeana Sounds, the Internet Archive Audio Archive, PennSound and UbuWeb. Using text analysis methods to identify high frequency events and trends, and labeling them with a rubric designed for measuring the impact of digital heritage resources, this study provides preliminary insights on user values as they relate to digital sound collections. Despite the limitations of using social media data, the evidence gathered in this case study characterizes aspects of the use of digital sound collections, and may point to future priorities for the digital preservation of sound.Peer reviewe
Against the Grain: Reading for the Challenges of Collaborative DH Pedagogy
No full textThis article provides a critical review of the past five years of literature in digital humanities pedagogy and faculty-librarian collaboration, commingled with reflections on personal practice, which extend findings from the literature. Faculty-librarian partnerships in DH pedagogy reflect a rapidly evolving area of engagement calling for expertise in teaching, subject knowledge, scholarly communication, digital technologies, and DH research methodologies. Although there is a rapidly expanding body of literature on these partnerships, the challenges of the work tend to be minimized. This article expands upon commonly encountered difficulties, and it points to potential solutions and best practices.Peer reviewe
