Si l'on peut observer depuis une vingtaine d'années un nombre important d'allusions à la notion de jeu, non seulement dans les thématiques et les procédés de la pratique artistique, mais également dans les propositions théoriques, on peut se demander à quel titre l'art actuel renouvelle le rapprochement entre l'art et le jeu. Maintes fois discutée durant la période moderne, que ce soit dans le champ de l'art, de la philosophie, de la psychanalyse ou de l'anthropologie, la relation entre l'art et le jeu s'inscrit actuellement dans un contexte idéologique et artistique tout autre. L'objectif de ce mémoire est de réévaluer la nature de ce rapport et de préciser le rôle de la notion de jeu dans l'art actuel. Malgré le nombre de plus en plus important de références au concept de jeu dans les pratiques artistiques, il s'agit ici d'une première étude approfondie sur le sujet. Dans un premier temps, le concept moderne de jeu se trouvera défini dans les domaines de l'esthétique et de l'anthropologie. À partir des propositions de Friedrich Schiller, Johan Huizinga et Hans-Georg Gadamer, nous démontrerons que la conception moderne du jeu est associée d'emblée à la représentation, et que celle-ci est soumise à des visées essentialistes. Dans un deuxième temps, en nous appuyant sur les théories de Jean-François Lyotard et de Jacques Derrida, le jeu sera analysé en regard des bouleversements qui accompagnent la postmodernité. Il sera envisagé comme un des concept-clé de la critique de la pensé moderne, permettant de figurer d'autres moyens d'appréhension de la réalité. Enfin, l'analyse des oeuvres de Pierrick Sorin et de Janet Cardiff, permettra de montrer que le concept postmoderne de jeu dans l'art actuel repense nos façons de configurer la réalité et notre rapport au monde. ______________________________________________________________________________ MOTS-CLÉS DE L’AUTEUR : Jeu, Art contemporain, Art et réalité, Janet Cardiff, Pierrick Sorin.

Dentre os pioneiros desta Psicologia, destacou-se Pierre Janet. Seu estudo sobre as alterações mentais, principalmente o hipnotismo e a histeria, deram origem às suas concepções sobre força e fraqueza psicológica, dissociação e atividade subconsciente, ideias estas que abriram margem para um novo entendimento da atividade mental fora da consciência, contribuíram para o desenvolvimento da psiquiatria dinâmica e, principalmente, apresentaram à sua época um caráter conciliador entre as novas tendências da psicologia e a antiga psicologia. Contudo, embora tenha sido um autor relevante, seus trabalhos são pouco conhecidos na atualidade e, em língua portuguesa, a bibliografia sobre ele é escassa. Nosso objetivo foi, portanto: (i) analisar o surgimento do conceito de dissociação na obra inicial de Pierre Janet, assim como as suas principais acepções; (ii) apresentar como Janet chegou à formulação deste conceito e como esse se desenvolveu ao longo de sua obra; (iii) explicar o mecanismo da dissociação segundo o autor; (iv) esclarecer o que ocorre com os elementos dissociados da consciência; (v) apresentar a relação da dissociação com outros conceitos fundamentais da obra de Janet, tais como vontade, fraqueza de síntese e automatismo e; (vi) expor as explicações de Janet para a histeria, hipnotismo e duplas personalidades com base na sua teoria da dissociação. Para tanto, realizamos uma leitura analítica da segunda fase de suas obras, que vai desde 1885 a 1894 (contendo 3 livros e 17 artigos), na qual este autor se dedicou a estudar profundamente este tema, buscando estabelecer a definição dos principais conceitos desta fase de suas obras, com ênfase na dissociação, e também as relações existentes entre eles. Como resultados obtivemos que conceito dissociação apareceu pela primeira vez nas obras de Janet em 1887 no artigo L'anesthésie systématisée et la dissociation des phénomènes psychologiques. Nele Janet coloca que a dissociação ocorre quando um item, seja uma memória, uma sensação ou um movimento, não se liga à ideia de eu do sujeito, sendo, portanto, removido da consciência normal. Porém, a partir de 1889, da obra L’automatisme psychologique, não vemos mais aparecer o termo dissociação, mas sim um novo termo, o termo desagregação (désagrégation), o qual acreditamos ser, contudo, seu sinônimo. O mecanismo da dissociação é apresentado por Janet, principalmente, quando ele explica a formação dos sintomas histéricos. Para ele estes sintomas histéricos, ou seja, as anestesias, as abulias, as amnésias e os problemas do movimento são todos causados por uma fraqueza de síntese psicológica que leva, por sua vez à desagregação psicológica. Nestes quadros, devido à fraqueza de síntese, certos grupos de sensações, memórias, emoções ou informações sobre o ambiente deixam de ser sintetizados à ideia de eu (fator fundamental, segundo Janet, para que um fenômeno possa fazer parte da consciência) e, portanto, permanecem dissociados da consciência normal, gerando, respectivamente: as anestesias, as amnésias, as modificações do caráter e as abulias. Estes elementos não sintetizados continuam, contudo, a existir podendo “ficar isolados e desaparecer ou podem se associar com outros fatos igualmente separados de toda a consciência e formar uma segunda personalidade” (Janet, 1887 p.402). A ação destes cada um deles sobre a consciência da histérica, por sua vez, é a raiz do que Janet chamou de acidentes histéricos dentre os quais estão incluídos as contraturas, a catalepsia parcial, o sonambulismo, os ataques, alguns delírios e os atos subconscientes. É possível concluir que a dissociação é de fundamental importância para a compreensão da histeria sob o ponto de vista de Janet e que é também um conceito chave da fase inicial de suas obras. / The French psychologists of the XIX century used, as one of its main methods, the exploration of the altered states of consciousness and mental illness to achieve a better understanding of the normal human mind. Among this French psychologists, Pierre Janet is a central figure. His studies on hysteria and hypnotism gave birth to his conceptions about psychological weakness, dissociation and unconscious activity. His theories held to a new understanding of mental activity occurring outside of conscious awareness, contributed to the development of the dynamic psychiatry and, specially, seemed to conciliate the two divided trends of the XIX century French psychology (the medical and the philosophical one). Even though Pierre Janet be an important French psychologist, in Brazil, there is a lack of studies about him. Because of it, our aim was to: (i) find out when Janet started to use the concept “dissociation”, its definition, and its changes; (ii) show how did Janet conclude about the existence of dissociation of consciousness, (iii) point out the relationship between the dissociation and the mental weakness, (iv) explain the mechanism of dissociation according to Janet, (v) describe what happens to the elements dissociated to normal consciousness and (vi) show the role of dissociation on hysteria, hypnotism and double personality according him. To achieve our goal we analyzed Pierre Janet’s works between 1885 and 1894 (3 books and 17 articles). As a result we noticed that the concept dissociation appeared for the first time in the article of 1887 L'anesthésie systématisée et la dissociation des phénomènes psychologiques. In this article, Janet explains that dissociation happens when an element, a memory or a sensation, is not synthesized to self, being, consequently, removed to the normal consciousness. However, from 1889 and beyond Janet substituted the term dissociation for another one, desegregation, keeping for both the same meaning. The mechanism of dissociation is described by Janet while he is explaining the hysterical symptoms. According to him, its symptoms (anesthesia, amnesia and movement disturbances) are due to a problem to synthesize sensations, memories and information about the environment (respectively) to self. This elements which were not synthesized can continue existing outside the normal consciousness, isolated or grouped, in a more or less complex system, being able to originate a secondary personality. These elements can affect the hysterical psychism giving birth to the hysterical accidents as contractures, the hysterical crises, the delirium, the catalepsies, the somnambulism and the unconscious acts. To sum up, it is possible to conclude that dissociation in a fundamental concept of the initial works of Pierre Janet and it is an essential concept to understand his views of hypnotism, hysteria and double personality.

[pt] Foram muitas as vezes em que o jornalismo se aliou à literatura para a produção de reportagens, mas menos célebres aquelas em que, para isso, a linguagem dos jornais e revistas foi além do empréstimo de características da ficção. Nesse sentido, o espaço que a obra da repórter americana Janet Malcolm (1934-2021) ocupa pode ser visto como um entrelugar que une o ritmo do chamado jornalismo narrativo ao comentário, à análise e à reflexão. A investigação que seus relatos proporcionam tem por interesse não só a resolução do caso, mas sobretudo a inspeção constante da própria linguagem jornalística, o lugar da repórter na apuração dos fatos e as contradições do texto de não ficção. Essas características propõem uma aproximação da obra de Malcolm com o gênero do ensaio, relação que se evidencia no prolongamento de trechos em que a autora suspende a toada do relato para emitir as próprias ideias sobre o que encontra pelo caminho. Com o objetivo de aferir os modos pelos quais a jornalista insere e trabalha essas análises no texto, além do efeito que elas produzem na peça que escreve, esta dissertação aproxima Malcolm do ensaísmo e sugere a junção dos dois elementos para considerar uma reportagem marcada pelo pensamento em movimentação constante. Para isso, não só leituras célebres sobre teoria do ensaio serão consideradas, como também terá lugar o ímpeto próprio da autora com os temas da verdade e da franqueza, desencadeadores da metalinguagem em suas matérias. / [en] There are many occasions in which journalism has allied itself with literature in the production of feature story reporting. Less celebrated, however, are times that, in order to accomplish that goal, the language of newspapers and magazines went beyond simply borrowing elements from fiction writing. The place occupied by the work of Janet Malcolm (1934-2021) can be seen as a space in-between the two languages that unites the rhythm from the so-called narrative journalism text with commentary, analysis and reflection. The investigation featured in her pieces focus not only on the resolution of the narrative problems, but mainly on the constant inspection of journalistic language, the reporter s approach to gathering information, as well as the contradictions in writing nonfiction texts. These aspects can approximate Malcolm s work with the essay genre, a bond that shows itself in passages where the author stops the narrative progression to display her own ideas on the story. In order to scrutinize the ways in which Malcolm introduces and works with this type of analysis, as well as the effect that they have in her pieces, this thesis connects Malcolm and essayism to propose a kind of feature story writing that is defined by its display of the ever-changing thought process of the writer in the creation of the text. In order to develop this approximation, not only the most famous theories of the essay are taken into consideration, but also the writer s will to address the themes of truth, sincerity and metalanguage in her pieces of journalism.

This study provides a genre analysis of Janet Reno's apologia in response to the Mt. Carmel disaster. Discussions of the events leading up to the crisis, Reno's rhetorical response, and relevant situational constraints and exigencies are provided.

This thesis examines Janet Flanner, an expatriate writer whose fiction and journalism have been essential to the development of American literary modernism in that her work, taken together, comprises a remarkable autobiographical document which records her own unique experience of the period while simultaneously contributing to its particular aesthetic mission. Although recent discussions have opened debate as to how a variety of discourses can be read as autobiographical, Flanner’s fifty years worth of cultural, political, and personal observation requires an analysis which incorporates traditional and contemporary theories concerning life-writing. Essentially, autobiographical scholarship must continue to push the boundaries of analysis, focusing on the interactions and reactions between the outer world and the inner self. This thesis, therefore, will situate Janet Flanner as an important writer whose experience among the modernist literary community in Europe informs, and is recorded in, her writing. / v, 93 leaves ; 29 cm.

Le naturaliste français Charles Janet (1849-1932) est resté en marge des grandes figures scientifiques. L’Académie des sciences avait pourtant reconnu certains de ses travaux entomologiques et aujourd’hui, sa classification atomique émerge dans les discussions des chimistes. Centralien, ingénieur civil et manufacturier en province, il fut entre autres géologue, paléontologue, entomologiste, biologiste et chimiste même si ces disciplines ne reflètent qu’une partie de ses recherches. Méconnus et scindés dans ses spécialités, ses travaux ont été très peu étudiés et jamais dans une vision d’ensemble. La biographie envisagée ici permettra de dépasser ces clivages disciplinaires. À partir des propres perceptions de Janet, nous engagerons notre projet vers une microhistoire qui nous offrira le moyen d’observer le travail d’un savant. Elle sera révélatrice des fonctionnements, usages et sociabilités des sociétés savantes locales ou nationales qui se posent en véritables autorités scientifiques et dont nous examinerons les liens avec l’Académie des sciences. La principale sera la Société zoologique de France dont Janet deviendra président. Il nous autorisera en sus à observer une tendance macro historique qui est celle de la spécialisation et de la marginalisation de l’entomologie. Ce qui nous conduira à remettre en question la classique dualité « professionnels vs amateurs » chez les scientifiques.Janet, par sa polyvalence, sa longue carrière à la fois hors et dans la science officielle est un témoin privilégié des sciences naturelles à la charnière du XIXe. Retracer sa vie et son œuvre, c’est observer les sciences sous l’angle des anonymes qui se haussent un temps au niveau des gloires de leur époque. Mais, si cette recherche témoigne des pratiques d’un scientifique méconnu, elle représente paradoxalement (selon nous) celles de la majorité des naturalistes de son temps. / The French naturalist Charles Janet (1849-1932) is remained on the margins of the great scientific figures. However, the Academy of Sciences acknowledged some of his entomological works and nowadays, his atomic classification emerges in discussions of chemists. Graduated from Ecole Centrale, civil engineer and manufacturer in province, he was among other things, geologist, paleontologist, entomologist, biologist and chemist even if these disciplines reflect only a part of his research. Unsung and split in his specialities, his works have been very little studied and never in an overall view. Hence, the biography proposed here will go beyond these disciplinary divides. Through the own perceptions of Janet, we will engage our project towards the microhistory that gives us the way to observe the work of a scholar. It will be revealing some functions, uses and sociability of the local or national societies that arise in real scientific authority and we will examine their links with the Academy of Sciences. The main will be the Zoological Society of France of which Janet became president. In addition, he allows us to observe a macro-historical trend, which is that of the specialization and the marginalization of entomology. This will lead us to question the classic duality 'professionals versus amateurs' among scientists.Thanks to his polyvalency, his long career both off and in the official science, Janet is a privileged witness of the natural sciences at the turn of the 19th century. Trace Janet’s life and work, is observing science through the anonymous people who might be raised for a while at the level of the glories of their era. If this research reflects the practices of an unsung scientist, it represents paradoxically (in our view) most of the naturalists of his time.

Missed appointments by patients are a major problem for health care professionals. To combat this issue, some optometrists use a pre-appointing system in which patients are scheduled for an annual exam a year after their initial visit. Prior to that subsequent appointment, clinic staff often try to contact the patient to confirm the appointment. This study examined baseline levels of appointment keeping, analyzed existing processes for pre-appointing patients, and introduced a revised process package to improve appointment keeping at an eye care clinic. This package included training, mailed postcard reminders and two phone call reminders. Results indicate appointment keeping by pre-appointed patients increased over baseline. The intervention was also shown to be cost-beneficial.
