Sommario/riassunto

Aujourd'hui inscrite au cœur des cultures télévisuelle et adolescente, la dystopie possède une histoire riche pourtant méconnue. Cette forme d’expression qui mêle projection dans le futur et vision critique d’une société révèle les enjeux majeurs des époques qu’elle a traversées. Explorer ses caractéristiques visuelles sur un siècle, de 1840 à la Seconde Guerre mondiale, permet d’observer les lignes de forces d’un imaginaire central dans la littérature et les arts. L’imaginaire dystopique ne touche pas seulement à l’iconographie. Il concerne aussi les ressources textuelles de la description, la circulation transmédiatique des fictions et la définition même d’un univers souvent improprement qualifié par les étiquettes de fantastique et de science-fiction.  Ce volume collectif abondamment illustré offre un aperçu chronologique empruntant ses approches à l’analyse de texte, à l’étude de l’image fixe ou animée, à la sociologie des auteurs et de l’édition, ainsi qu’à l’histoire des représentations. Il se centre sur les aires d’expression française, qui ont leurs propres spécificités, distinctes des réalisations anglo-saxonnes. Envisageant tant les œuvres paralittéraires que celles d’avant-garde, il met à l’honneur une production foisonnante, encore peu étudiée : de Souvestre à Bartosch, sans oublier Henriot et Robida, de l’eschatologie biblique à la poétique des ruines de la ville moderne, en passant par l’archéologie rétrofuturiste et l’imaginaire des fourmis.  Being nowadays at the coreof TV and young adult cultural practices, dystopia has a substantial but quite unknown history. Its narrative and generic framework that combines futuristic projection with critical vision of the society brings out the main issues from the various eras it went through. By exploring its visual features for over a century, between 1840 and WWII, this book intends to examine the guidelines of a pivotal literary and artistic imagery.

Sommario/riassunto

Planning for an influenza pandemic, whether it occurs in the near or



distant future, will need to take into account many constantly evolving factors. The Institute of Medicine (IOM) Committee on Implementation of Antiviral Medication Strategies for an Influenza Pandemic was asked by the Department of Health and Human Services, (DHHS) to consider best practices and policies for providing antiviral treatment and prophylaxis during a pandemic event. The committee (TM)s report, entitled Antivirals for Pandemic Influenza: Guidance on Developing a Distribution and Dispensing Program, calls for a national and public process of creating an ethical framework for antiviral use within the context of uncertainty and scarcity. It is unclear whether antivirals will work against a pandemic strain as well as they work against seasonal influenza. Also, government stockpiles may not be sufficient for all possible uses in part because antivirals are costly and public health agencies must invest in other important activities, including other medical resources for pandemic influenza. Furthermore, the report identifies the lack of a science-based advisory body to guide decision making during the pandemic, including guidance on all dimensions of antiviral dispensing (for example, prioritization, drug safety, and antiviral resistance). The report also acknowledges the need for diverse methods and sites of dispensing, and discusses their advantages and disadvantages.
