ASPEK HUKUM INFORMED CONSENT DAN PERJANJIAN TERAPEUTIK
Authors: Dali Muh Amin , Kasim Warsito
Published: December 2020

(Legal Aspect Of Informed Consent And Therapeutic Agreement). Health is one of the basic rights guaranteed by the state. Therefore, the state is obliged to prepare instruments to protect the health services of citizens. In practice, one of the tools regulated by the state in guaranteeing health services is the Medical Action Agreement. In the medical world, Medical Action Approval is better known as Informed Consent. The approval of this Medical Action will be contained in a written agreement known as the Therapeutic Agreement. This study aims to analyze the legal aspects of informed consent and therapeutic agreements based on formal law in Indonesia. The scope of the discussion is the study of the relationship between the Patient Party and the Medical Personnel in the Informed Consent and Therapeutic Agreement and analysis of its formal legal aspects. The results of the study are expected to be a legal reference for the community and also the medical staff so as to increase understanding and legal awareness that lead to improving the quality of health care workers. The approach used in this study is a normative juridical approach and analytical descriptive nature. This study uses secondary data obtained from primary and secondary legal materials. The results of the study describe the analysis of the legal aspects of protecting the rights and obligations of health services for both patients and medical personnel.Kesehatan adalah salah satu hak dasar masyarakat yang dijamin oleh negara. Maka dari itulah negara berkewajiban menyiapkan perangkat-perangkat dalam melindungi hak pelayanan kesehatan warga negara. Dalam praktiknya, salah satu perangkat yang telah diatur oleh negara dalam menjamin pelayanan kesehatan adalah Persetujuan Tindakan Medis. Dalam dunia medis, Persetujuan Tindakan Medis lebih dikenal dengan istilah Informed Consent. Persetujuan Tindakan Medis ini akan dituangkan dalam perjanjian tertulis yang dikenal dengan Perjanjian Terapeutik. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis Aspek Hukum informed consent dan Perjanjian Terapeutik berdasarkan hukum formil di Indonesia. Ruang lingkup pembahasan adalah pada kajian mengenai hubungan antara Pihak Pasien dan Pihak Tenaga Medis dalam Informed Consent dan Perjanjian Terapeutik serta analisis aspek hukum formilnya. Hasil penelitian diharapkan dapat menjadi referensi hukum bagi masyarakat dan juga para tenaga medis sehingga dapat meningkatkan pemahaman dan kesadaran hukum yang mengarah pada peningkatan kualitas pelayan kesehatan. Pendekatan yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah pendekatan yuridis normatif dan bersifat deskriptif analitis. Penelitian ini menggunakan data sekunder yang diperoleh dari bahan hukum primer dan sekunder.

Amy Sternberg’s Historical Pageant The Performance of IODE Ideology during Canada’s Diamond Jubilee
Authors: Lindgren Allana C.
Published: December 2020

In 1927, sixty-five chapters of the Imperial Order Daughters of the Empire (IODE) staged Amy Sternberg’s Historical Pageant in Toronto to celebrate Canada’s Diamond Jubilee. Accessing primary source documentation, this article argues that Sternberg’s production constructed and conveyed IODE ideology by placing female agency in the service of liberal imperialism. Specifically, the female allegorical and historical characters in the pageant provide an index of values that emphasized the role of women in creating a strong Canada closely aligned with a venerated British Empire. Beyond the script and the stage, the program for the production and press clippings suggest that the IODE used Historical Pageant to promote itself as a modern organization in which female leadership fostered civically engaged action while simultaneously and subtly re-inscribing the traditional hierarchical social structure of the British Empire within Canada. In these ways, Historical Pageant reminds historians of the necessity to consider how theatre has been used by Canadian women to assert their political views publicly even when those views espouse ideology that is no longer acceptable.
Whites Singing Red Face in british Columbia in the 1950s
Authors: Keyes Daniel
Published: December 2020

In 1954, two red faced operas where created in British Columbia by white women: Barbara Pentland’s The Lake imagines the Okanagan from the point of view of Susan Alison, the first white women settler in the region while Lillian Estabrooks and Mary Costley’s Ashnola: A Legend of Sings Water offers a Gilbert and Sullivan cross-dressed version of pre-European contact Aboriginals. This article analyzes these operas and other 1950s texts like newspaper articles and populist histories of British Columbia to demonstrate how invader settlers seek to control the Other semiotically via red face and thus gain a sense of identity that ameliorates their settler status to make them “native.” Red face in these operas betray an imperial sense of melancholy as white women use it to trouble patriarchy while enforcing white privilege. The paper concludes by considering the persistence of neo-colonial red face in the Canadian national imaginary.
Crossing Over: Theatre Beyond Borders / Telematic Performance
Authors: Irwin Kathleen
Published: December 2020

This article discusses “Crossing Over,” a pedagogical art / performance project linking university students around the world that investigates the notions of cosmopolitanism and mobility as ways to constitute meaningful social networks by exchanging virtual performances—and suitcases—over the internet. The questions that the project asks are critical in light of the globalization of information that the World Wide Web and other crossing over points represent. While globalization opens borders to all manner of material exchanges (including people), endless digital data stream through the Internet portal providing opportunities to trade on personal information. We explore and share our identity at our peril. “Crossing Over” also explores the idea that there is an intrinsic relationship between embodied presence and one’s place in the world. Performing or representing who we are is indistinguishable from the place from which we come. The Internet shows us that the experience of presence is manifold and strongly manifest in virtual environments. Cyberspace is not a non-place—it is the ever-mutable backdrop, the mirror held up to a virtual spectator—who will always see something more than a mere reflection—will see differently based on his/ her place in the world.
Memorial Reconstructions: Presence and (Re)-presentation in Carbone 14’s Le Dortoir
Authors: Senyshyn Dimitry
Published: December 2020

Francois Girard’s 1991 video adaptation of Gilles Maheu and Carbone 14’s stage production Le Dortoir is a moving exploration of identity and memory that takes as its primary theme and point of departure the “man-who-remembers” desire to bring his past to unmediated presence and projects a fantasy of his desire’s fulfillment on stage, but articulates this fantasy with a view to the impossibility of its realization. The manner in which Le Dortoir insistently activates the semiotic value of ‘context’ as an operant condition of its performance suggests that identity—and the partial, fragmentary memories it re-constitutes and through which it is constituted—is inevitably mediated by representation. However, despite its demonstrably postmodern attitude toward the self and representation, Le Dortoir frequently strives to bring into focus the inherent semiotic ambiguity of its dancers’ bodies— a move which engenders in the audience an intimation of presence and works to mimetically reproduce the narrative’s ostensibly modernist preoccupation with recovery and fulfillment. Having never experienced Le Dortoir as a live performance event, but only in its remediated form, I approach the work from a problematic but potentially productive intermedial standpoint. I situate my analysis at the intersection of live performance and media studies, and the theoretical framework I rely on derives from recent developments in the former. By bringing a specifically theatrical conception of presence to bear on my mediated experience of an imaginarily reconstructed ‘live’ performance—the form and thematic preoccupations of which mark it as a potentially illuminating case study—it is my hope to extend and complicate the critical discourse on presence and absence.
Lunettes Noires et autres Éecrans Identitaires dans L’œuvre de Michel Tremblay
Authors: Bédard-Goulet Sara
Published: December 2020

Le présent article examine les fonctions remplies par les lunettes de soleil de Marcel, un personnage majeur de l’oeuvre théâtrale et romanesque de Michel Tremblay. Ce personnage apparaît dans En pièces détachées et Marcel poursuivi par les chiens, deux pièces qui mettent en place, entre le spectateur et la scène, la médiation de personnages féminins. Le regard que posent ces premières spectatrices sur la scène théâtrale fait vaciller l’identité du personnage principal aux yeux du spectateur en l’empêchant d’y avoir directement accès. On verra que les lunettes du personnage dépassent le simple accessoire scénique : elles peuvent être vues comme faisant partie d’un dispositif d’écrans multiples qui, interposés entre Marcel et la réalité, traduisent un dysfonctionnement comportemental. Les difficultés identitaires du personnage sont notamment associées à un aveuglement familial qui se manifeste par des écrans maternels et à la vision d’une scène traumatisante transgressive, renvoyant à l’impossible vision de l’inceste familial fondateur. Bien que ces deux événements (l’inceste et le meurtre) ne soient pas liés dans le récit, ils renvoient tous deux à une vision interdite : celle de sa propre chair comme désirable et celle de l’annulation d’un sujet (Mercedes) par un autre (Maurice).
To Be Dub, Female and Black: Towards a Womban-Centred Afro-Caribbean Diasporic Performance Aesthetic in Toronto
Authors: Knowles Ric
Published: December 2020

This essay traces the contributions of Afro-Caribbean women, particularly Rhoma Spencer, ahdri zhina mandiela, and d’bi.young anitafrika, to a developing performance aesthetic in Toronto that is grounded in Caribbean cultural texts. It focuses on ways in which the work of these women has consciously challenged and queered Canadian and Caribbean theatrical and performance forms as well as heterosexist and masculinist cultural nationalisms and colonial modernities. Spencer, through her company Theatre Archipelago, employs a “poor theatre” aesthetic, a presentational sensibility, exhuberant performances, and a richness of language, all grounded in Caribbean traditions such as carnival, ’mas, and calypso, to speak in complex ways about the politics of class, gender, and race with a clear emphasis on women. mandiela, through her company bcurrent and especially through her plays dark diasporain dub! and who knew grannie, has invented and developed a new form, dub theatre, out of the Jamaican-based traditions of dub poetry. d’bi.young anitafrika has followed in mandiela’s footsteps, contributing to the women’s dub tradition through the invention of what she calls “biomyth monodrama” as exemplified in her sankofa trilogy. These women have constituted a Toronto within the city that functions as a transformative space operating at the intersection of nations, sexualities, and performance forms to queer traditional theatrical hierarchies, together with the largely masculinist ethos of much Caribbean performance and the narrow chronopolitics of modernist colonial “development.” They have created and continue to develop entirely new, empowering, “womban-centered,” and “revolushunary” Afro-Caribbean forms that are (re)grounded in traditions of the grannies, the griots, the nation languages of the people, and movement and language that emerge from and celebrate Black women’s bodies in a transnational Canadian-Caribbean diaspora.
Francophone Theatres of Western Canada: Investing in Their Marginality
Authors: Ladouceur Louise
Published: December 2020

Far removed from the francophone centres of Eastern Canada and their theatrical institutions, those who create theatre in the West are at work in the extreme margin of the Canadian Francophonie. Investing in their own marginality, Franco-Canadian theatre artists in the West describe little-known realities in plays whose theatricality reflects the contexts from which they arise. The exploration of identity generated by a cultural hybridization either imposed or consensual—which appears as much in the text as it does in the performance itself—, the openness to a diversity deemed necessary to survival, the involvement of a community in the development of its theatre, and the promotion of the Métis language and culture are among the many aspects of research to be found in these collected articles that highlight not only the preoccupations and the aspirations of the artists working within the francophone communities of Western Canada, but the dramatic means that shape their creations.
The Feminist Spectator As Blogger: Creating Critical Dialogue About Feminist Theatre On The Web
Authors: MacArthur Michelle
Published: December 2020

From blogging, to YouTube-ing, to social networking, feminist theatre audiences and artists are increasingly using the Internet to shift the power dynamics in their relationship to mainstream critics. This is not only reshaping the discourse surrounding theatre, but also working toward the broader cultural change that Jill Dolan envisioned as an outcome of exposing the ideological underpinnings of performance and criticism in her landmark book, The Feminist Spectator as Critic. In this article I consider how alternative critical practices made possible by the web address problems posed by the static, single-authored nature of traditional theatre criticism. Through a survey of feminist theatre reviewing in the blogosphere and a brief case study of Montreal-based performer Pol Pelletier’s web activities, I investigate what blogging means for the feminist audiences and artists who practice it, the mainstream critics whose profession it threatens, and the scholars who rely on reviews in their own work as critics and historians. I argue that while blogging provides a means for feminist spectators and artists to address key gender issues present in both theatre and criticism, its potential to transform these institutions is rooted in its negotiation of two key functions: on the one hand, its ability to “preach to the converted” and create community, and on the other, its ability to navigate more mainstream spaces on the web and engage with hegemonic critical discourse.
Techniques of Making Public: The Sensorium Through Eating and Walking
Authors: Doonan Natalie
Published: December 2020

In this article, Doonan analyzes two performances presented by the SensoriuM, a collaborative participatory art platform in Montreal, Quebec. In doing so, she shows how the SensoriuM makes publicthrough curatorial and dramaturgical practice. By making public,she refers to the active translation of materiality into representational forms, and also to the assembling of humans and non-humans in participatory performance. Doonan describes the concrete audiences bounded by the live events, as well as the more amorphous and immeasurable publics that are brought into being through the circulation of texts, including digital images, videos, and oral presentations. Drawing from science and technology studies and more-than-human geographies, she explores “epistemic publics,” or the animal, organic and machinic configurations that come into being in the process of creating (objects of) knowledge. Doonan analyzes two specific performances: Midsummer Mile End Foraging Tour and Hunter, Gatherer, Purveyorto show how these processes of making public are enacted. Both performances use food as a medium to complicate and undo binaries of public/private, self/other, domestic/wild, depressed/revitalized. The meanings and uses of particular places are brought into question through embodied and symbolic means. Doonan argues that these performances work to de-design the city by queering its dominant discourses and creating intimate spaces of exchange.
An Autoethnographic Reading of Djanet Sears’s The Adventures of a Black Girl in Search of God
Authors: Keleta-Mae Naila
Published: December 2020

Djanet Sears’s play The Adventures of a Black Girl in Search of God offers a generous opportunity for the careful contemplation of the intersections between Christianity, motherhood, and blackness in Canada—a topic hitherto unexamined in scholarship about Sears’s plays. The protagonist’s search for God is a personal exploration of self in relation to each of these topics; similarly, Naila Keleta-Mae draws from the analysis of self through the article’s incorporation of methodologies employed in autobiographical performance and autoethnographic research. Specifically, the author maps her examination of Sears’s play through her own body and experiences of Christianity, motherhood, and blackness in Canada. One of the key ways that this article seeks to differ itself from traditional Canadian scholarship is by foregrounding the explicit ways the scholar’s topic of inquiry intersects with her/his/their personal lived experience. To some extent, this article is about visibility and transparency—it is an effort to make equally visible the preoccupations of the scholar in her/his/their analysis of a subject matter—in this specific case it is the unambiguous articulation of why Keleta-Mae cares about Sears’s play.
Theatre and Immigration: From the Multiculturalism Act to the Sites of Imagined Communities1
Authors: Meerzon Yana
Published: December 2020

In English Canada the 1988 Canadian Multiculturalism Act instigated the study of ethnic, multicultural, and intercultural theatre practices.2 In Quebec the 1977 Bill 101 or The Charter of the French Language, which established the fundamental language rights of the people of Quebec and so presented “the most prominent cite of struggle over Quebecois culture and nationhood,” framed similar scholarly and artistic questions (Knowles and Mündel XVI). Today, however, with the growing number of immigrants landing in English Canada and Quebec, urban theatre audiences have become “increasingly diverse” and immigrant artists’ performances “no longer need to appeal either to the traditional white middle-class audience of Canada’s so-called ‘main stages’ [. . .] nor to communities narrowly defined by culture or interest” (XVII). This special issue takes this statement further and focuses on the cultural, personal, and artistic output of immigrant theatre artists who have been working in Canadian theatre for several decades. It argues that representation of an immigrant/immigration on stage constitutes a self-referential move in Canadian theatre. The increased presence of immigrant theatre artists actively contributing to English Canadian and Quebec theatre today invites audiences to rethink such fundamental concepts as nationalism and multiculturalism. Moreover, as this issue demonstrates, immigrant artists’ theatrical aesthetics and concerns situate questions of immigration within the wider discourse and practices of theatre as it relates to globalization and mobile identities worldwide. Hence, the articles chosen for this issue aim to measure the artistic output of Canadian immigrant theatre using the theoretical lenses of postcolonial and intercultural performance theories, studies in linguistics and cultural semiotics, psychoanalysis, and cultural geography. They continue the discussion of intercultural theatre practices in Canada and Quebec, initiated by Theatre Research in Canada and Jeu;3 and reflect the ongoing debates on theatre and immigration in Canada that took place at the 2013 and 2014 annual meetings of Canadian Association for Theatre Research; and as proposed in my own work on theatre and exile (2012).
Dis-ing the Main Drag and Walking toward the Public Good in Here Be Dragons: Mapping Queer, AsianCanadian Identity in Kitchener, Ontario
Authors: Houston Andrew
Published: December 2020

A young man, who self-identifies as Asian-Canadian and queer, decides to leave the small, socially conservative southwestern Ontario city where he has grown up. He decides to perform the story of this departure, its origins, its process, and its possible outcomes. The performance takes the form of a map, and before long he maps a terrain vastly different from what most who live in the city would recognize as home. As a performative process, mapping is explored as an attempt to apprehend where we are, who we are, and with whom we share the process. Mapping and walking together become an embodied experience carried out from a particular point of view that makes possible both an awareness of multiple perceptions of, and orientations toward, place. Walking and mapping are not just the combined acts of creative-research; they also serve as methodology. José Estaban Muñoz argues that “identities-in-difference” emerge out of a failed interpellation within the public sphere. Disidentifying with the dominant sphere allows for the emergence of a counter-public sphere; the landscape is the same, but the way it is mapped, used, and understood is different. Refuting both identification and counter-identification— or assimilation and anti-assimilation—disidentification allows for a third mode of dealing with dominant, embedded ideology that uses the idea of “working both on and against” as a strategy that tries to transform a cultural logic from within. In this article, Andrew Houston articulates how disidentification was mapped and experienced as a form of dis-orientation in Here Be Dragons, a multi-media, sitespecific performance staged as part of IMPACT ’11, wherein the audience were invited on a journey of displacement; a mytho-geographical mapping of queer, Asian-Canadian identity in downtown Kitchener, Ontario. In Here Be Dragons, identities-in-difference are experienced as the audience—the tourists to this domain—walk within the testimonial terrain of a young man, navigating a landscape of edges and antagonism in their hometown.
Impact of the Immigrant Experience on My Theatre Career
Authors: de Guevara Lina
Published: December 2020

Over the years I have written a series of articles about my experience as Artistic Director of PUENTE Theatre (1988 to 2011). Several of PUENTE’s projects and productions turned out to be quite experimental and unique, and many people were interested to know more details about the process followed and the results achieved. I have also been called to give keynote speeches and to participate in symposiums and conferences that required me to write papers. Some of these writings have been published in magazines, books, reports, or online. In this article I will talk about my learning through directing, scripting, and producing some of the PUENTE shows. More detailed descriptions, and “how to” articles, are available on my website www.linadeguevara.ca
Introduction: Paradigm Shifts
Authors: Solga Kim
Published: December 2020

I came on board at TRIC/RTAC as associate editor at the beginning of 2016, just as the US presidential election campaign was beginning to gear up. Donald Trump was smashing opponents in the Republican primary race, but nobody—at least, nobody I spoke to or read in my preferred news feeds—really imagined he’d take the prize from Hillary Clinton. When my editorship began as we put our last issue to bed in October, many around the world were looking forward to Hillary making history, fearing but not fully believing the alternative was truly possible. And yet here we are, in spring 2017, coping with the harsh, frequently unjust realities produced by the new presidency of Donald J Trump.
Restaging Indigenous — Settler Relations: Intercultural Theatre as Redress Rehearsal in Marie Clements’s and Rita Leistner’s The Edward Curtis Project
Authors: Vellino Brenda
Published: December 2020

Sahtu Dene Metis theatre artist Marie Clements’s and settler photographer Rita Leistner’s intercultural and multi-media collaboration The Edward Curtis Project (TECP) explores the tense negotiations between settler and Indigenous characters who are brought together from different time frames through an Indigenous concept of fluidly intersecting temporalities (McVie). Clements re-appropriates the American photographer Edward Curtis’s strategy of asking his Indigenous subjects to re-enact banned rituals and ceremonies; she thus stages Curtis as a settler avatar re-enacting scenes from his past that often involve confrontations between himself and numerous historical and contemporary Indigenous subjects. In her discussion of the production, Brenda Vellino first establishes the broader theatre studies context for the conflict transformation possibilities presented by TECP. Its intercultural rehearsal of relationship renegotiation may be read as essential for substantive redress between settler and Indigenous subjects. She discusses Clements’s rehearsal of Indigenous confrontation and negotiation with the settler avatar Edward Curtis in light of a recent turn toward rereading the Curtis archive for Indigenous agency and cultural authority. She then explores Clements’s critique of a politics of mediated projection as central to both the stagecraft and questions of TECP. Finally, she considers the significance of Clements’s culminating Windigo exorcism ceremony as painful but necessary medicine for both settler and Indigenous subjects. Clements’s and Leistner’s project thus invites consideration of rehearsal as a process, practice, and trope of multi-layered relationship renegotiation between members of Indigenous and settler communities who seek active redress.
Edgy + Hysteria: Not Like Sisters, or How Montreal’s Edgy Women and Toronto’s Hysteria Festivals Got It On Across Space and Time
Authors: Cowan T.L.
Published: December 2020

The following is a conversation between Miriam Ginestier, Moynan King, and me on the topic of the romance between the Edgy Women Festival and Hysteria: A Festival of Women. Montreal’s Edgy Women Festival, organized by Ginestier and produced by Studio 303, ran in many formations from 1994–2016. Toronto’s Hysteria was co-founded by King and Kelly Thornton and produced by Buddies in Bad Times Theatre and Nightwood Theatre from 2003–2004 and then directed by King and produced solely by Buddies from 2004–2009. During Hysteria’s years of existence, the two festivals shared some artists, as well as aesthetic curatorial-social-political sensibilities.
Ecology and Site-specificity in Festival Production: A Conversation with Laura Nanni
Authors: Levin Laura
Published: December 2020

Laura Levin: In theatre and performance studies, we spend a lot of time talking about the artists who are featured in festivals, but much less time thinking about the curation of festivals as itself an important form of artistry. This means that we miss the important background work that curators and producers do.
Natalie Alvarez, Immersions in Cultural Difference: Tourism, War, Performance
Authors: Davis Tracy C.
Published: December 2020

This book documents cultural encounters facilitated in immersive role-play scenarios of military and counterinsurgency training, dark tourism, and pedagogy based on history, topography, and the politics of human rights violations. Among the four case studies, two concern training for North American combatants engaged in declared and covert wars in the Middle East; two feature Indigenous cultures claiming control over their narratives, designed to proactively alter a people’s future; and whereas one relies on a built simulation three others utilize the natural landscape to shape encounters. Like studies by Scott Magelssen and Coco Fusco, among others, Natalie Alvarez’s work is invested in formal characteristics of the cases, such as live immersive situations, for paradigm-building. Yet, more importantly, it is cultural ethnography that first destabilizes then reorients the ethnographer’s understanding of kinds of knowledge and leads to sensitization to local cultures and ethical experiences of learning. It matters less whether the cases cohere in terms of formal elements of performance than that, through field work and ethnographic reflection, performance is indispensable in promoting personal encounters imbued with empathy. Over the course of many years, Alvarez’s field work—at CFB Camp Wainwright’s Afghan Village training site, the private company Aeneas Group International’s course on Countering Insurgency in Complex Environments held in the Utah mountains, a nighttime walk led by Indigenous Hñahñu in Hildalgo northeast of Mexico City simulating perils encountered by border-crossing migrants, and a tour of Shoal Lake 40 Reserve conducted by a community leader and settler-ally through this Anishinaabe reserve in southeastern Manitoba—accumulates into a profound meditation on experiences of encounter.
Julie Burelle, Encounters on Contested Lands. Indigenous Performances of Sovereignty and Nationhood in Québec
Authors: Herrera-Lasso González Martha
Published: December 2020

Encounters on Contested Lands joins an ongoing conversation around the challenges and possibilities of decolonization from the perspective of Performance Studies, and represents an important contribution to decolonial thought and practice across the Americas. Specifically, it broadens this conversation by offering a much-needed investigation, in English, of decolonization and performance read in relation to Quebecois claims of sovereignty. The project reveals Quebec as a place of competing sovereignties, focusing on contemporary encounters between Indigenous peoples and what Burelle calls the French Québécois de souche—French-speaking white descendants of early French settlers, who were colonized by the British and later by Anglo Canadians. Burelle pushes against a long-time narrative of Quebec as a colonized minority, and makes visible the white possessive logic that connects English and French Canadian colonial projects, highlighting how Quebec’s history of suffering and practices of selective remembering have been used to assert a Québécois de souche nationalist project. Through her analysis of a range of cultural and political performances, Burelle exposes the discursive and performative strategies of dispossession of Indigenous peoples that have made this project possible, arguing throughout that Quebec’s imagined community is still unable “to accommodate (let alone comprehend) the concept of Indigenous sovereignty” (16). As a settler scholar, Burelle does not shy away from her positionality as Québécoise de souche, and offers a range of strategies for settler scholars to engage productively with their own accountability. Burelle’s introduction explicitly outlines her choices in nomenclature and citation, acknowledging the politics of naming and the importance of positioning theory in relation to the places and peoples discussed.
Peter Dickinson, C.E. Gatchalian, Kathleen Oliver, and Dalbir Singh, eds., Q2Q: Queer Canadian Theatre and Performance: New Essays on Canadian Theatre, Volume 8
Authors: Publius Xavia A.
Published: December 2020

I begin my review in the same way Evalyn Parry begins the essay “Re: Form: (An Informal Set List of Considerations)” in this volume for two reasons. The first is because it’s equally true of this project, having never written a formal book review before and balking at the idea of writing this in anything but my queer tongue. The second is that this sentence fragment distills the productive fragmentation pervading this volume. A perusal of the essay titles demonstrates a community, or collection of communities, coming to terms with the tensions and struggles both within the myriad positionalities under the queer umbrella and between these and the larger cisheteropatriarchal Canada: “Constituting Community” (Stephen Low); “Queer Insularity” (Sean Metzger); “Proudly Welcoming” (Laine Zisman Newman); “Divisions Within” (T. Berto); “Productive Contrary” (Spy Dénommé-Welch).
De la démolition des taudis à la sauvegarde du patrimoine bâti (Montréal, 1954-1973)
Authors: Drouin Martin
Published: December 2020

En 1954, le dépôt du plan Dozois prévoyait l’élimination d’une zone de taudis en vue de la construction du projet d’habitation sociale connue sous le nom des Habitations Jeanne-Mance. En se lançant dans une telle opération, la Ville de Montréal posait un premier geste concret pour enrayer un mal qui affectait les quartiers centraux : la dépréciation du cadre bâti ancien. Le geste peut également s’inscrire dans la genèse d’un mouvement pour la conservation du patrimoine. En explorant l’histoire de l’aménagement urbain à Montréal jusqu’à la création de l’association Sauvons Montréal en 1973, il est possible d’observer la transformation du regard posé sur l’environnement bâti. La juxtaposition des notions de taudis et de patrimoine permet en effet de se placer au cœur d’une mutation qui transforma radicalement la manière d’aménager la ville.
The Everyday Usage of City-Centre Streets: Urban Behaviour in Provincial Britain ca. 1930–1970
Authors: Faire Lucy , McHugh Denise
Published: December 2020

This article examines the user experience in the city-centre street space, focusing on three main themes: space usage; the behaviour of users and interventions to direct behaviour by urban authorities; and the sensory and emotional experiences of being on the street. The emphasis is on people’s interaction with the city centre and their perceptions of it. These interactions generated multi-dimensional perspectives linked to individual socio-demographic characteristics producing place-specific experiences. The article uses film, photography and testimony to provide insights into street usage and, while acknowledging that the retail function of the city centre was fundamental, argues that this space generated wider experiences beyond the acquisition of goods and services in commercial transactions. The article concludes that the user experience, behaviour and relationship with the city-centre street are as important to understanding urban function as capital investment and city planning.
The Role of Emotions in Protests against Modernist Urban Redevelopment in Perth and Halifax
Authors: Gregory Jenny , Grant Jill L.
Published: December 2020

In the 1950s and 1960s modernist town planning reordered countless cities through urban renewal and freeway-building projects. Applying rational planning expertise generated emotional responses that often lingered long after redevelopment occurred. This article considers the emotional response to urban renewal in two cities advised by the British town planner Gordon Stephenson. In Perth, Australia, Stephenson was amongst a group of experts who planned a freeway that obliterated part of the valued river environment and threatened a historic structure. In Halifax, Stephenson prepared the initial scientific study used to justify dismantling part of the downtown and a historic black community on the urban fringe. While the Perth case generated an explosion of emotional intensity that failed to prevent environmental despoliation but saved some heritage assets, the Halifax example initiated a lingering emotional dispute involving allegations of neglect and racism. Comparing cases resulting from the activities of a noted practitioner illustrates differing emotional trajectories produced in the wake of the modernist planning project.
Endovascular Stenting of Large Hepatic Artery Aneurysm: Case Report
Authors: Peddu Praveen , Hashem Essam , Peddu Praveen
Published: December 2020

Background: Large hepatic artery aneurysms are rare, especially spontaneous ones without history of
hepatopancreatobiliary surgery or trauma. They are serious and need attention due to risk of spontaneous
rupture. Management depends on local expertise with endovascular management being the preferred option,
and surgical repair usually reserved to ruptured aneurysms in hemodynamically unstable patients.
Methods: A 54-year-old female patient was referred to our hospital for treatment of incidentally discovered
large hepatic artery aneurysm without obvious etiology. The decision was made to attempt percutaneous
endovascular management at the interventional radiology unit.
Result: The aneurysm sac was successfully excluded using covered stents. This was complicated by right
hepatic artery occlusion and clinically insignificant contrast extravasation. These complications did not have
any clinical sequel in terms of hemodynamic stability or impaired liver function. The patient was safely
discharged few days after the procedure.
Conclusion: Endovascular management of spontaneous large hepatic artery aneurysms is effective.
Potential complications include hepatic artery occlusion and dissection, which may or may not have serious
clinical consequences. This offers a less invasive treatment option compared to surgery.
Engineering methods for calculation of elements from combined glued timber
Authors: Bilyk S. I. , Mykhaіlovskyi D. V.
Published: December 2020

Extensive world experience in the implementation of building structures made of timber, in particular glued timber, for various purposes confirms the feasibility of their use. This is facilitated by the fact that glued timber effectively accumulates the positive properties of timber as a structural material level the shortcomings of solid timber. One of the types of constructions of glued timber are constructions of combined glued timber. Taking into account the structure and features of elements of combined glued timber of rectangular cross section, for a detailed analysis of the stress-strain state, a method is proposed, which consists in applying to standard formulas for calculating the reduced cross-sectional characteristics: reduced area, reduced moment of inertia, reduced moment of resistance. To calculation, the elements of combined glued timber of rectangular cross section according to the second limit state (serviceability), it is proposed to use the reduced modulus of elasticity of the section to the boards of the outer layers. To analyze the proposed method, a number of numerical studies of beams of combined and glued timber of the same strength class using analytical calculation methods and using the finite element method in the software package LIRA-CAD, using three-dimensional and flat finite elements. Numerical studies show that the results of calculations of beams of combined glued and glued timber of the same strength class differ within 20% in the direction of increasing the values of deflections and normal stresses in the elements of combined glued timber. Finite element calculations in the software package LIRA-CAD beams of combined and glued timber of the same strength class modeled volumetric and flat showed almost complete coincidence of results with a discrepancy of up to 2%, which suggests the need to significantly simplify the modeling, set elements from glued timber with flat finite elements. It is confirmed that the analytical calculation of beams of combined glued timber is recommended to be carried out according to the proposed method. The proposed technique allows to take into account the thickness and mechanical characteristics for the strength class of each board of which the glued cross section of the element, which significantly expands the range of use of combined glued timber. The high level of coincidence (within 5%) of the proposed analytical method with determination of the given cross-sectional characteristics with the results obtained by the finite element method for different cross-sections and spans of beams is confirmed, which allows to assert the expediency of its application in engineering calculations. In addition, the modeling of structures made of combined glued timber is possible with rod elements with the provision of the reduced modulus of elasticity according to the proposed method, which greatly simplifies the calculation of complex rod systems.

Recently growing number of low quality wood in Ukraine, damaged by fungal sap color, stem rot leads to finding ways to use it. Today this wood is used mainly for the manufacture of wood-fuels facility in industrial and municipal energy. A possible way to use it is making insulation material from wood wool. The existing prototype of such material - fibrolite contains woody wool of healthy wood but during burning emits toxic chemicals. The construction of wooden wall panels, which include a frame of lumber and thermal insulation material of wood wool, made of low quality pine wood and binder. The binder used were inorganic (liquid glass) and organic-mineral (PVA) dispersion with the addition of flame retardant. Investigation of fire resistance, acoustic and thermal insulation of material from low quality pine wood have proved that it meets the regulatory requirements and can be used in building structures. To develop technological requirements for the manufacture of wall panels using low-quality pine wood, it is necessary to determine their density, sorption capacity and bio-stability. For this purpose, samples of thermal insulation material with different content of mass parts of wood wool and binder were made. The density of specimens of insulating material (145‒250 kg/m3), which is close to the popular hard thermal insulation materials, has been determined. Experimental studies of moisture absorption, sorption capacity and swelling values indicated that the effect of moisture on the properties of insulating material and its shape resistance are within the permissible values of regulatory documents for construction products. Wood treated with binders found to be used for the manufacture of insulation material has been found to have high biological resistance, which is more than 5-6 times the bio-resistance of untreated wood.
Challenging Dominant Representations of Marginalized Boys and Men in Critical Studies on Men and Masculinities

Published: December 2020

Raewyn Connell famously theorized hegemonic masculinity, explaining its dominance over femininity and “subordinated” and “marginalized” masculinities. Attending to representations of the latter, we argue that “men in the margin” are commonly wrongly and/or simplistically depicted as regressive and violent in response to their marginalization. Focusing on representations of working-class boys and men, we illustrate the stereotypical treatment of “men in the margin” more broadly, making clear that this goes against Connell’s treatment of such men. Conversely, privileged boys and men are commonly held up by critical studies on men and masculinities scholars as paragons of progressive change. The characterization of boys and men in the margin as regressive and patriarchal impedes the ability to address problems like violence, misogyny, and homophobia and overlooks the possibilities for transformation that emerge among marginalized communities.

Although the standard treatment for ovarian carcinoma with peritoneal metastases is systemic chemotherapy alone or systemic chemotherapy with debulking surgery, a new technique gains more ground: a combination of hipertermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) and optimal cytoreduction surgery. The proof is mounting regar-ding the benefi ts of HIPEC for patients with metastatic ovarian carcinoma but it still lacks a standard protocol of use. It has increased costs, and incomplete data regarding its safety. Due to these reasons, it is still considered an alternative treatment. Our study aimed to evaluate the published literature regarding this technique from the point of view of safety and effi cacy when compared with the standard of care treatment.
Individualization of Products and Services with Artificial General Intelligence and General Collective Intelligence
Authors: Williams Andy E
Published: December 2020

INTRODUCTION: With advances in big data techniques having already led to search results and advertising being customized to the individual user, the concept of an online education designed solely for an individual, or the concept of online news or entertainment media, or any other virtual service being designed uniquely for each individual, no longer seems as far fetched. However, designing services that maximize user outcomes as opposed to services that maximize outcomes for the corporation owning them, requires modeling user processes and the outcomes they target.OBJECTIVES: To explore the use of Human-Centric Functional Modeling (HCFM) to define functional state spaces within which human processes are well-defined paths, and within which products and services solve specific navigation problems, so that by considering all of any given individual’s desired paths through a given state space, it is possible to automate the customization of those products and services for that individual or to groups of individuals.METHODS: An analysis is performed to assess how and whether intelligent agents based on some subset of functionality required for Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) might be used to optimize for the individual user. And an analysis is performed to determine whether and if so how General Collective Intelligence (GCI) might be used to optimize across all users.RESULTS: AGI and GCI create the possibility to individualize products and services, even shared services such as the Internet, or news services so that every individual sees a different version.CONCLUSION: The conceptual example of customizing a news media website for two individual users of opposite political persuasions suggests that while the overhead of customizing such services might potentially result in massively increased storage and processing overhead, within a network of cooperating services in which this customization reliably creates value, this is potentially a significant opportunity.
Online Political Advertising and Microtargeting: The Latest Legal, Ethical, Political and Technological Evolutions
Authors:   International IDEA
Published: December 2020

Electoral campaigns are central to influencing how people vote and can also affect people’s perception of the legitimacy of a country’s elections and democracy in general. Today, political parties and other stakeholders are increasingly use new online techniques in electoral campaigns. Many countries struggle with applying regulatory frameworks on elections to the online sphere, especially as regards online political advertising and microtargeting. This Event Report provides an overview of the issues at stake and recommendations from two roundtables on online political advertising and microtargeting that were organized by International IDEA in June 2020, in collaboration with the European Commission and the Dutch Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations. It covers topics such as what sets online campaigning apart from traditional campaigning, the rights and freedoms potentially affected by the use of digital microtargeting and online campaigning, gaps in current regulations, and division and coordination of oversight roles both domestically and internationally.
