Children’s daily life after potentially traumatic injury: A naturalistic observation study.
No full textAlthough family environment in the aftermath of potentially traumatic pediatric injury appears critical to recovery, there are no studies observing children’s daily life at home. We aimed to explore the daily family environment (activities and interactions) of 3- to 16-year-olds and their families following an injury requiring hospital admission. We used the electronically activated recorder (EAR; Mehl et al. 2001) to gather detailed, moment-to-moment observational data for 71 child participants (59% male; Mage = 10.41 years, SD = 3.60) during 2 days at home, within a month of their injury. We also explored associations between either acute stress symptoms or perceived social support and characteristics of daily family environment. TV exposure was a dominant feature in children’s lives, 38.62% of children’s wake time, SD = 22.20%. Children interacted with others an average of 46.80% of their wake time (SD = 18.05%). Older children spent more time alone than younger children, and mothers were children’s most frequent interaction partners, 44.22% of children’s interaction time, SD = 22.06%; followed by siblings, M = 36.59%, SD = 28.74%; and fathers, M = 22.78%, SD = 22.80%. There were few associations between either acute stress symptoms or perceived social support and daily family environment, with some correlations varying across child age and sex. The findings give first insights into clinically relevant aspects of child daily family environment after pediatric injury. This study provides a benchmark for future naturalistic observation studies of family life after trauma. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2021 APA, all rights reserved
“The Rhetoric of Equality: Marie de Gournay, Linguist and Philosopher”
No full textMarie de Gournay’s works are mostly well known today. This French writer, editor, translator, philosopher and literary critic played a key role in Renaissance Europe taking part to the major cultural debates of her time. The originality of her thought as well as the audacity of her choices have been much argued and progressively appreciated. In a particular way, her later feminist treatises – The Equality of Men and Women (1622) and The Ladies’ Complaint (1626) – have been widely studied over the time, although against the background of the « Querelle des femmes ». Despite this kind of developments, these texts deserve a new and greater attention. Hence, moving beyond the terms of the ‘Woman Controversy’, this contribution will mainly focus on the linguistic and rhetorical strategies applied by the author in order to pursue the refutation of male claims to rational superiority. Using the examples of illustrious women and dealing with various sources – historical, philosophical, biblical – Marie de Gournay shows the importance of providing both men and women with the same intellectual opportunities since the main attribute of human beings is the rational soul. Through a disarticulation of the scholastic theory, the author proves that neither the natural nor the political or the religious laws admit any differences between men and women. In this context, she conceptualises her own idea of « the unity of the sexes » exploiting linguistic, philosophical and social issues and thus contributing to an aware construction of gender equality in Early Modern France
Injury talk: Spontaneous parent-child conversations in the aftermath of a potentially traumatic event
No full textBackground: While talking about traumatic experiences is considered central to psychological recovery, little is known about how these conversations occur in daily life. Objective: We investigated spontaneous injury talk among parents and children in the aftermath of a child’s hospitalisation due to physical trauma, and its relationship with children’s socioemotional functioning. Methods: In a prospective naturalistic observation study, we audio-sampled the daily life of 71 families with the Electronically Activated Recorder after their child (3–16 years old) was discharged from hospital. We collected close to 20 000 snippets of audio information, which were double-coded for conversation characteristics, and measured children’s socioemotional functioning with the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) at 6 weeks and 3 months postinjury. Findings: The children were involved in injury talk for, on average, 46 min/day, 9 min of which referred to emotions. Children had significantly more injury conversations with their mothers than with their fathers. The tone of injury conversations was significantly more positive than that of non-injury conversations. More direct injury talk was associated with fewer problems on the emotion subscale of the SDQ at 3 months. Other associations between aspects of injury talk and children’s socioemotional functioning were mostly non-significant, although they appeared to be stronger at 3 months than at 6 weeks. Conclusions: Families spontaneously talked about the injury and associated issues for about the same amount of time per day as a therapist might within a session (a ‘therapy hour’). Clinical implications Making full use of naturally occurring injury talk may be a valuable direction for parent and family-focused postinjury interventions. However, the study design prevents causal inference, and further exploration is warranted.Version of Recor

James Joyce: From Hero to Author of the Bildungsroman
No full textWhen James Joyce went to Paris as a young man in 1902, he followed a narrative arc fundamental to the European Bildungsromane. Comparing Joyce’s motives and decisions with those of his fictional predecessors in novels by Stendhal, Honoré de Balzac, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, and others, I argue that he acted at first as an unwitting and unreconstructed hero of the genre but that, as he wrote the last two stories for Dubliners in 1906-1907, he earned greater perspective over his life and writing. Little Chandler, Gallaher, and Gabriel Conroy proved to be especially important catalysts for a Joyce in evolution from hero to author of his own Bildungsroman
