From proscription to prescription: marginality and postcolonial identities in Bessie Head's "A Question of Power"Kalua, Fetson Anderson 11 1900 (has links)
In A Question of Power Bessie Head explores metaphysical forms of knowledge
and systems of belief (against a background of what is verifiable and can be
called the truth) and finds them necessary but flawed because they are illogical.
The experience of madness in Bessie Head's main character, Elizabeth, (which is
caused by a deep fear of domination and oppression), provides an opportunity
for the character to raise propositions and questions of philosophy related to
race, class, heterosexuality, God, to mention but a few, and to come to the
conclusion that the 'truth' claims which are implied in and suggested by these
notions do not obtain in real life. In other words, there is no stable,
transcendental reality. It dawns on Elizabeth (the main character) that certain
realms of knowledge which society has determined as objective truth will
remain forever unknowable. Thus Elizabeth, the main character in a A Question
of Power, identifies and challenges all patriarchal structures and power
hierarchies in society, seeing them as the real causes of her suffering. After
completing this process of deeonstruction, she is able to integrate herself into
society. / English Studies / M. A. (English)

Contribution à l'histoire de la recherche médicale : autour des travaux de Jean Bernard et de ses collaborateurs sur la leucémie aiguë, 1940-1970Rigal, Christelle 19 December 2003 (has links) (PDF)
Ce travail rend compte des recherches sur la leucémie aiguë menées par Jean Bernard et ses collaborateurs de 1940 à 1970 et les replace dans les transformations globales de la recherche médicale au cours de cette période. Cette maladie passa de l'incurabilité à une certaine curabilité, grâce à l'association d'agents chimiothérapeutiques. Parallèlement, l'exsanguino-transfusion et la greffe de moelle osseuse furent testées puis abandonnées. Les travaux de laboratoire portèrent principalement sur la cytologie, sur les virus des leucémies murines et sur l'immunologie des leucémies humaines et animales. Quant à l'évolution générale de la recherche médicale, elle fut caractérisée par une molécularisation du biologique et du médical, une standardisation des matériaux et des méthodes, un renforcement des liens avec l'industrie et des échanges scientifiques, en particulier franco-américains, ainsi qu'une augmentation des financements publics et privés, dans un nouveau cadre institutionnel.
