Book excerpt: Le 11 janvier 2020, la Chine annonçait son premier décès. Ce qui n'est encore qu'une pneumonie d'origine inconnue sera baptisée quelques jours plus tard du nom de Covid-19. Après 180 jours, cette nouvelle maladie aura fait plus de 400 000 morts et mis l'économie mondiale à genoux. La première vague n'as pas fini de déferler et une deuxième vague n'est pas exclue. Le vaccin n'est pas pour demain et le monde est contraint de vivre avec une épée de Damoclès sur la tête. Chaque Etat a fait face à la pandémie avec son histoire, sa culture et ses moyens. A travers un vaste panorama international, Alexis Dussol détaille la riposte de chacun d'eux, en soulignant points forts et faiblesses des différentes stratégies mises en place, avec un regard plus particulier sur la France et les Etats-Unis.
Download or read book Pandemic Protagonists written by Yvonne Völkl and published by transcript Verlag. This book was released on 2023-04-30 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the first mandatory lockdowns of the Covid-19 pandemic, citizens worldwide turned to »pandemic fictions« or started to produce their own »Corona Fictions« across different media. These accounts of (previously) experienced or imagined health crises feature a great variety of protagonists and their (re)actions in response to the exceptional circumstances. The contributors to this volume take a closer look at different pandemic protagonists in fictional narratives relating to the Covid-19 pandemic as well as in existing pandemic fictions. Thereby they provide new insights into pandemic narratives from a cultural, literary, and media studies perspective from antiquity to today.
Download or read book La Vengeance du pangolin written by Michel Onfray and published by Robert Laffont. This book was released on 2020-09-03 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Un virus bien en chair et en os, si je puis me permettre, a démontré que le virus virtuel n'était pas la seule réalité avec laquelle nous avions à compter. Venu de Chine où des pangolins et des chauves-souris ont été incriminés, il a mis le monde à genoux. Il a été le révélateur, au sens photographique du terme, des folies de notre époque : impéritie de l'État français, faiblesse extrême de son chef, impuissance de l'Europe de Maastricht, sottise de philosophes qui invitaient à laisser mourir les vieux pour sauver l'économie, cacophonie des scientifiques, volatilisation de l'expertise, agglutination des défenseurs du système dans la haine du professeur Raoult, émergence d'une médecine médiatique, indigence du monde journalistique, rien de très neuf... Le covid-19 rappelle une leçon de choses élémentaire : il n'est pas le retour de la mort refoulée, mais la preuve vitaliste que la vie n'est que par la mort qui la rend possible. Tout ce qui est naît, vit, croît et meurt uniquement pour se reproduire – y compris, et surtout, chez les humains. Ce virus veut la vie qui le veut, ce qui induit parfois la mort de ceux qu'il touche. Mais quel tempérament tragique peut et veut encore entendre cette leçon de philosophie vitaliste ? Michel Onfray.
Download or read book Covid 19 la guerre contre l invincible virus written by Alexis Dussol and published by Editions Michalon. This book was released on 2021-10-13 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le 31 décembre 2019, un tsunami jamais vu va déferler par vagues successives emportant avec elles, chaque jour, des dizaines de milliers de morts aux quatre coins de la planète. Fermeture des frontières, confinement, couvre-feux, distanciation sociale, masques, les États auront tout essayé pour contenir l'épidémie. « Zéro Covid » ou « vivre avec le virus », aucune des deux stratégies n'en viendra à bout et les compteurs de la mort n'en finiront pas de tourner. La mise au point des vaccins en un temps record, moins d'un an après le début de la pandémie, aura laissé, un temps, entrevoir le bout du tunnel, mais des variants plus contagieux viendront à nouveau obscurcir l'horizon. L'année 2021 s'annonce déjà pire que la précédente et la page du Covid-19 tarde à se tourner. L'immunité collective est encore loin, surtout dans les pays pauvres. Le SARS-CoV-2 fait désormais partie de notre quotidien. Le monde a changé et rien ne sera plus comme avant. Terrible tragédie des temps modernes, le Covid-19 restera gravé dans l'histoire. Qu'avons-nous appris ? Quelles stratégies et quels résultats ? Alexis Dussol revient, à l'échelle internationale, sur plus d'une année de guerre contre l'invincible virus.
Download or read book Covid 19 oblige written by Estelle Gallur, Malick Ngom et tous les Français and published by Les Éditions du Net. This book was released on 2020-05-05 with total page 15 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cet ouvrage est une œuvre participative rédigée à l’aide d’entretiens avec des professionnels de santé, membres des comités, des médias (débats, articles) et des témoignages. L’humanité a plus que jamais besoin des hommes (militaires, médias, médecins, clairvoyants, …) qui exaltent les esprits. Le Covid-19 fait vivre au monde une crise sanitaire sans précédent. Toutes les portes sont fermées, les rues abandonnées, les plages clôturées… Il impose sa loi du silence. Aucune terre fertile n’avait auparavant vécu cette absence de mots. La chose est sérieuse, l’issue en est inconnue. Tous les individus sont perdus, hormis ceux qui gardent espoir, tissent des liens de fraternité, de solidarité et d’équité. Ce sont ces valeurs qui définissent la constitution d’un comité d’éthique/scientifique. Cette instance régulatrice des tests cliniques est l’objet d’étude principal de cet ouvrage qui s’intéresse également aux relations nord-sud dans la recherche biomédicale… Devant la gravité de l’heure et l’imminence du danger, l’homme doit apprendre la vigilance, la modération, l’esprit de scrupule et la maîtrise de soi dans le bonheur comme dans l’adversité. Rien ne sera plus pareil après le 11 mai 2020 : l’intelligence voguera, visitera l’espace, embrassera la nature et créera des outils de lutte contre une éventuelle pandémie…

Download or read book Abolitionist Agroecology Food Sovereignty and Pandemic Prevention written by Maywa Montenegro de Wit and published by Daraja Press. This book was released on 2021-03-31 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: COVID-19 has exposed the racialized nature of food systems, but also potentially grants opportunities to build anew. Maywa Montenegro explores a series of breakdowns, from fractured supply chains to uncontrolled infection among essential food workers to Black, Brown, and Indigenous communities scythed through by the virus along old grooves of race-class oppression. She traces the likely origins of COVID-19 to spillover sites forged by agroindustrial expansion into forested regions where pathogens spring free and infect humans. Industrial animal agriculture drives these ecological changes that incubate future outbreaks. Pandemics have their roots in the violent separation of communities from their territories, seeds, knowledge and wealth. Racism enables such theft as fundamental to capitalist expansion. To tackle pandemics and food injustices, Montenegro calls for an abolitionist agroecology. No anti-capitalist alternative can ignore the racism that is central to the transnational industrial food system. Scholars including Angela Davis, Ruth Wilson Gilmore, and Mariame Kaba have argued that although abolition is frequently seen as an oppositional strategy - to eradicate, for example, prisons and police - abolition is equally propositional. An abolitionist agroecology cracks open multiple possibilities that respond to the exigencies of a pandemic planet - there is no 'normal' to which we can safely return.
Download or read book 50 Years of Bat Research written by Burton K. Lim and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-01-23 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With more than 1,400 species, bats are an incredibly diverse and successful group of mammals that can serve as model systems for many unique evolutionary adaptations. Flight has allowed them to master the sky, while echolocation enables them to navigate in the dark. Being small, secretive, nocturnal creatures has made bats a challenge to study, but over the past 50 years, innovative research has made it possible to dispel some of the mystery and myth surrounding them to give us a better understanding of the role these animals play in the ecosystem. The structure of the book is based on several broad themes across the biological sciences, including the evolution of bats, their ecology and behavior, and conservation of biodiversity. Within these themes are more specific topics on important aspects of bat research, such as morphology, molecular biology, echolocation, taxonomy, systematics, threats to bats, social structure, reproduction, movements, and feeding strategies. Given its scope, the book will appeal to the wider scientific community, environmental organizations, and government policymakers who are interested in the interdisciplinary aspects of biology and nature.

Download or read book When Time Shall Be No More written by Paul Boyer and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 1994-01-01 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Millions of Americans take the Bible at its word and turn to like-minded local ministers and TV preachers, periodicals and paperbacks for help in finding their place in God’s prophetic plan for mankind. And yet, influential as this phenomenon is in the worldview of so many, the belief in biblical prophecy remains a popular mystery, largely unstudied and little understood. When Time Shall Be No More offers for the first time an in-depth look at the subtle, pervasive ways in which prophecy belief shapes contemporary American thought and culture. Belief in prophecy dates back to antiquity, and there Paul Boyer begins, seeking out the origins of this particular brand of faith in early Jewish and Christian apocalyptic writings, then tracing its development over time. Against this broad historical overview, the effect of prophecy belief on the events and themes of recent decades emerges in clear and striking detail. Nuclear war, the Soviet Union, Israel and the Middle East, the destiny of the United States, the rise of a computerized global economic order—Boyer shows how impressive feats of exegesis have incorporated all of these in the popular imagination in terms of the Bible’s apocalyptic works. Reflecting finally on the tenacity of prophecy belief in our supposedly secular age, Boyer considers the direction such popular conviction might take—and the forms it might assume—in the post–Cold War era. The product of a four-year immersion in the literature and culture of prophecy belief, When Time Shall Be No More serves as a pathbreaking guide to this vast terra incognita of contemporary American popular thought—a thorough and thoroughly fascinating index to its sources, its implications, and its enduring appeal.
Download or read book Who Rules America Now written by G. William Domhoff and published by Touchstone. This book was released on 1986 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author is convinced that there is a ruling class in America today. He examines the American power structure as it has developed in the 1980s. He presents systematic, empirical evidence that a fixed group of privileged people dominates the American economy and government. The book demonstrates that an upper class comprising only one-half of one percent of the population occupies key positions within the corporate community. It shows how leaders within this "power elite" reach government and dominate it through processes of special-interest lobbying, policy planning and candidate selection. It is written not to promote any political ideology, but to analyze our society with accuracy.

Download or read book Bats and Viruses written by Lin-Fa Wang and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2015-09-08 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Approximately 75% of emerging infectious diseases are zoonoses, and the rate of emergence of zoonotic diseases is on the rise. Bats are being increasingly recognised as an important reservoir of zoonotic viruses of different families, including SARS coronavirus, Nipah virus, Hendra virus and Ebola virus. Understanding bats’ role in emerging zoonotic diseases is crucial to this rapidly expanding area of research. Bats and Viruses: A New Frontier of Emerging Infectious Diseases provides an updated overview of research focusing on bat biology and the role bats play as hosts of many major zoonotic viruses. The text covers bat biology, immunology, and genomics. Chapters also delve into the various major bat-borne virus families, including lyssaviruses, paramyxoviruses, coronaviruses, filoviruses and reoviruses, among others. Edited by leaders in the field, Bats and Viruses: A New Frontier of Emerging Infectious Diseases is a timely, invaluable reference for bat researchers studying microbiology, virology and immunology, as well as infectious disease workers and epidemiologists, among others.
Download or read book Forgetful Remembrance written by Guy Beiner and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2018 with total page 728 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forgetful Remembrance examines the paradoxes of what actually happens when communities persistently endeavour to forget inconvenient events. The question of how a society attempts to obscure problematic historical episodes is addressed through a detailed case study grounded in the north-eastern counties of the Irish province of Ulster, where loyalist and unionist Protestants -- and in particular Presbyterians -- repeatedly tried to repress over two centuries discomfiting recollections of participation, alongside Catholics, in a republican rebellion in 1798. By exploring a rich variety of sources, Beiner makes it possible to closely follow the dynamics of social forgetting. His particular focus on vernacular historiography, rarely noted in official histories, reveals the tensions between professed oblivion in public and more subtle rituals of remembrance that facilitated muted traditions of forgetful remembrance, which were masked by a local culture of reticence and silencing. Throughout Forgetful Remembrance, comparative references demonstrate the wider relevance of the study of social forgetting in Northern Ireland to numerous other cases where troublesome memories have been concealed behind a veil of supposed oblivion.
