Introduction. Since the discovery of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, the polymerase chain reaction technique (RT-PCR) has become the fundamental method for diagnosing the disease in its acute phase. The objective is to describe the demand-based series of RT-PCR determinations received at a Microbiology Service at a third-level reference hospital for a health area for three months spanning from the onset of the epidemic by SARS-CoV-2.
Methods. A retrospective analysis of the total of the RT-PCR requested in the Microbiology Service analyzed from 02/25/2020 to 05/26/2020 (90 days) has been carried out. They have been grouped by epidemiological weeks and by the petitioner service. A descriptive analysis was carried out by age, gender and number of requests for each patient. In the tests carried out, a confidence level of 95% (p <0.05) was considered significant.
Results. A total of 27,106 requests was received corresponding to 22,037 patients. Median age 53.7 (RIC 40.9-71.7) years, women: 61.3%. Proportion of patients with any positive RT-PCR: 14%. Of the total requests for RT-PCR, positive 3,710. Week 13 had the highest diagnosis performance (39.0%). The primary care has been the service thar has made the most requests (15,953). Patients with 3 or more RT-PCR: 565, of them, 19 patients had a positive result after previously having a negative one.
Conclusions. Requests have been increasing depending on the evolution of the epidemic. The RT-PCR has a high diagnostic performance in the phases of highest contagiousness and / or transmissibility of the virus.
Some Properties of the $k$-bonacci Words on Infinite Alphabet
Authors: Ghareghani Narges , Mohammad-Noori Morteza , Sharifani Pouyeh
Published: September 2020

The Fibonacci word $W$ on an infinite alphabet was introduced in [Zhang et al., Electronic J. Combinatorics 2017 24(2), 2-52] as a fixed point of the morphism $2i\rightarrow (2i)(2i+1)$, $(2i+1) \rightarrow (2i+2)$, $i\geq 0$.

Here, for any integer $k>2$, we define the infinite $k$-bonacci word $W^{(k)}$ on the infinite alphabet as $\varphi_k^{\omega}(0)$, where the morphism $\varphi_k$ on the alphabet $\mathbb{N}$ is defined for any $i\geq 0$ and any $0\leq j\leq k-1$, by

\begin{equation*}

\varphi_k(ki+j) = \left\{

\begin{array}{ll}

(ki)(ki+j+1) & \text{if } j = 0,\cdots ,k-2,\\

(ki+j+1)& \text{otherwise}.

\end{array} \right.

\end{equation*}

We consider the sequence of finite words $(W^{(k)}_n)_{n\geq 0}$, where  $W^{(k)}_n$ is the prefix of $W^{(k)}$ whose length is the $(n+k)$-th $k$-bonacci number. We then provide a recursive formula for the number of palindromes that occur in different positions of $W^{(k)}_n$. Finally, we obtain the structure of all palindromes occurring in $W^{(k)}$ and based on this, we compute the palindrome complexity of $W^{(k)}$, for any $k>2$.
Hat Guessing Numbers of Degenerate Graphs
Authors: He Xiaoyu , Li Ray
Published: September 2020

Recently, Farnik asked whether the hat guessing number $\mathrm{HG}(G)$ of a graph $G$ could be bounded as a function of its degeneracy $d$, and Bosek, Dudek, Farnik, Grytczuk and Mazur showed that $\mathrm{HG}(G)\ge 2^d$ is possible. We show that for all $d\ge 1$ there exists a $d$-degenerate graph $G$ for which $\mathrm{HG}(G) \ge 2^{2^{d-1}}$. We also give a new general method for obtaining upper bounds on $\mathrm{HG}(G)$. The question of whether $\mathrm{HG}(G)$ is bounded as a function of $d$ remains open.

Authors: Dankiewicz Robert , Tworzydło Dariusz , Ostrowska-Dankiewicz Anna
Published: September 2020

The considerations presented in the paper concern the impact of Covid-19 on sales possibilities in the pre-paid system and development perspectives of the researched business entity. As part of its operations, this entity is responsible for the supply of fuel to nearly 4,500 customers conducting business operations throughout Poland. The study was carried out by means of the method of quantitative analysis of economic data. The acquired data constituted a closed set of 518 479 contacts collected as a result of reporting the work of the call center department. The purpose of the paper is to analyze the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the possibilities of acquiring new customers by the entity that sells pre-paid fuels and the prospects for its future development. The analyzes allowed showing the relationship, before and after the introduction of socioeconomic restrictions, between the number of sales contacts made and their effectiveness. It was proved that lockdown caused changes in the scope of managing executive operations within the call center of the entity. This, in turn, affected operational and management decisions at both ownership and management levels.

Published: September 2020

The expansion in globalization has made it fundamental for associations by and large to manage a social various workforce. Without a doubt, these increments are compelling both little and enormous assembling to perceive the significance of managing social assorted variety (CD) by growing new methods and arrangements to direct representatives. As of late, expanding working environment CD has become a critical issue for some chiefs of a decent number of associations in Kurdistan because of an expansion of the presence of global assembling. The motivation behind this paper, accordingly, is to analyze the issue that verges on the assorted variety of societies since research around there is nearly non-existent in Kurdistan. The paper investigations the impacts of CD on execution through some haphazardly chosen associations in the Kurdistan Dominion of Iraq. The information from our discoveries show that there is a positive connection among's CD and hierarchical execution.
Modeling across-trial variability in the Wald drift rate parameter
Authors: Steingroever Helen , Wabersich Dominik , Wagenmakers Eric-Jan
Published: September 2020

The shifted-Wald model is a popular analysis tool for one-choice reaction-time tasks. In its simplest version, the shifted-Wald model assumes a constant trial-independent drift rate parameter. However, the presence of endogenous processes—fluctuation in attention and motivation, fatigue and boredom—suggest that drift rate might vary across experimental trials. Here we show how across-trial variability in drift rate can be accounted for by assuming a trial-specific drift rate parameter that is governed by a positive-valued distribution. We consider two candidate distributions: the truncated normal distribution and the gamma distribution. For the resulting distributions of first-arrival times, we derive analytical and sampling-based solutions, and implement the models in a Bayesian framework. Recovery studies and an application to a data set comprised of 1469 participants suggest that (1) both mixture distributions yield similar results; (2) all model parameters can be recovered accurately except for the drift variance parameter; (3) despite poor recovery, the presence of the drift variance parameter facilitates accurate recovery of the remaining parameters; (4) shift, threshold, and drift mean parameters are correlated.

Published: September 2020

The rapid development of COVID-19 cases in Indonesia, as well as the spread of COVID-19 which has almost reached all provinces in Indonesia with the number of cases and the number of deaths increasing, has put Indonesia in a public health emergency. The high number of cases of death in Indonesia with CFR (5.0%) is very disturbing and worrisome for the community. Our review focuses on the epidemiology of the spread of COVID-19 in Indonesia as well as changes in people's attitudes and behavior during the COVID-19 pandemic. Indonesia is also infected by this virus. COVID-19 in Indonesia first reported two cases on March 2, 2020. On March 11, 2020, for the first time an Indonesian citizen died from Covid-19. East Java Province is the province with the most positive cases found. Because a vaccine that can dispel COVID-19 has not been found, in the end the Stay At Home movement is the most appropriate alternative to reduce the chance of contracting COVID-19 while maintaining cleanliness such as providing disinfectants, using masks, washing hands, exercising physical distance, avoiding crowds and so on. -Other etc. As a result, all activities are hampered, be it in the fields of economy, tourism, and others. Of course, many losses have been caused. However, seen from the obstacles that have occurred, there have been some significant changes that have occurred, especially in the attitude of the community so that they can continue their activities until these attitudes have turned into new habits. What is most visible from changes in community behavior is the discipline of people wearing masks, maintaining physical distance, and always maintaining hand hygiene. In essence, many innovative behaviors suddenly emerged during the COVID-19 outbreak.

A migráció szabályozásának reaktív tényezői
Authors: Hautzinger Zoltán
Published: September 2020

The reactive factors of regulation of migration show us how individual states intend to react to phenomena related to human migration and primarily harmful for host societies. In this context, migration emerges as a challenge for public security or law enforcement. Reactivity, however, does not only have its origin in eliminating the adverse effects of migration, but also in those responses from the states through which the baselines for regulating migration are demonstrated and reflected. The stricter the entry conditions, the conditions of stay or the conditions on certain work of foreigners are, the more easily it can be demonstrated that, as regards the given communities, migration is not an unreservedly supported phenomenon.
Introduction: Science, fiction and the non-aligned world
Authors: Mukherjee Upamanyu Pablo
Published: September 2020

The introduction surveys the central role accorded to certain ideas of techno-scientific development in Indian nationalist imagination. It then examines the recent trend of a ‘post-colonial turn’ in both science studies and science-fiction scholarship and argues that this misses the opportunity to examine both science and science fiction in relation to global capitalism, colonialism and international opposition to these. By looking at the case of Indian science fiction written during the first decades of Indian independence, when the country took a leading role in the non-aligned movement, it suggests that such inter-related literary and political forms tried to chart alternative routes to dominant practices of modernization in the 20th-century.
Laboratory lives
Authors: Mukherjee Upamanyu Pablo
Published: September 2020

The first chapter examines the representation of scientific laboratories in Indian science fiction of the non-aligned era. Such laboratories were seen as key sites for an acceleration of national ‘development’ in the decades following the country’s independence. But in science fiction laboratories were often treated critically, where key assumptions regarding the relationship of science, truth and progress were rigorously interrogated and revised.
The uses of weapons
Authors: Mukherjee Upamanyu Pablo
Published: September 2020

The second chapter begins by considering one of the key challenges facing an independent India – how to balance developmental needs with that militarization. The paradox of militarization was an acute one for a country leading an international movement of peaceful and ‘non-aligned’ co-existence. This paradox provided rich material for the science fiction of the era, where ‘super-weapons’ were often represented in comic-ironic key rather than the dystopic-apocalyptic register familiar to most readers of its Euro-American counterparts.
Notes on the Text
Authors: Belsey Alex
Published: September 2020

The following notes apply where this book quotes directly from the original journal manuscripts:

• All page numbers are conjectural as Vaughan did not number the pages of his journal. Tate Archive have numbered the surrogate sheets in their collection, but each sheet is a photocopy of a double-page and their numbering only applies up to and including volume thirty; due to these factors Tate’s numbering has not been used. Page numbers have therefore been calculated during the research for this book to assist as best as possible future readers of Vaughan’s original journal....
Autobiography and the Intellectual
Authors: Belsey Alex , Belsey Alex
Published: September 2020

This chapter reveals how Keith Vaughan reconfigured his wartime journal-writing as a comprehensive autobiographical project that would record his memories and experiences and transform them into a creative product. Having declared a policy of full disclosure and a commitment to resist self-censorship, he embarked upon a programme of self-education, redolent of Bildung, that made his journal the record of a developing mind and that allowed him to fold influences from literature, philosophy, and modernism into his own writing. The first section of this chapter describes how Vaughan’s journal became a consciously literary autobiographical project concerned with time and memory, regarding the third volume as a distinct milestone wherein Vaughan first articulated his desire to write autobiography and began to fully recognize (and experiment with) the possibilities of life-writing. The second section focusses on Vaughan’s autodidacticism, which encompassed the reading of other life-writers and his discovery of seminal works (by such key figures as T. S. Eliot and Marcel Proust) that greatly influenced him and helped him to identify, albeit precariously, with Oxbridge intellectualism. The third section confirms the enduring importance of Vaughan’s journal as a continuous autobiographical document which he could refer back to and re-evaluate during periods of duress.
Self-editorship and ‘Keith Vaughan’
Authors: Belsey Alex
Published: September 2020

This chapter examines Keith Vaughan’s attempt to curate his own legacy with the publication of his self-edited Journal & Drawings (1966). At intervals throughout the 1950s he had been revisiting the wartime volumes of his journal and by the early 1960s his opinion of them had changed from scornful critique to aching nostalgia, so in 1965 he commenced (at the behest of Alan Ross) a long process of self-editing journal entries from 1939 to present to be published alongside previously unseen drawings and photographs. The first section of this chapter considers Vaughan’s practices of re-reading his journal and examines his typescripts as evidence of the extensive revisions made to the content and style of specific journal entries for publication. The second section reveals how Vaughan shaped the text of Journal & Drawings through processes of selecting, re-writing, and even devising entirely new material, resulting in a streamlined narrative at once confessional yet choreographed. The third section of this chapter surveys the placement of drawings and photographs in Journal & Drawings and how words and images work to communicate the interrelations between his journal-writing and visual practice – and to fix and control the image of ‘Keith Vaughan’.
The Diaristic Impulse and Self-construction: An Afterword
Authors: Belsey Alex
Published: September 2020

This afterword reflects upon how the practice of journal-writing enabled Keith Vaughan to construct and re-construct himself through literary means, providing him with a sense of identification where previously there had been isolation. This afterword considers the diaristic impulse that compels an author-subject to write a journal or diary, before proffering why the journal or diary form is so appropriate as a site for self-construction; chiefly, that it allows the author-subject to establish their own space for identity formation, before they can begin construction with the literary materials and generic conventions available to them. This afterword progresses by considering the implications in the twenty-first century, with an explosion of diaristic behaviours facilitated by the range of available technologies, giving us an improved understanding of selfhood as a network. It closes by asserting that the further study of journal and diary forms is needed in order to develop our understanding of how identity is formed through response.
Exporting the Canon: The Mixed Experience of the Dutch Bibliotheca Neerlandica
Authors: Wolters Irvin
Published: September 2020

This chapter presents an archive-based case study of the Bibliotheca Neerlandica, a project launched in 1955 by the newly established Foundation for the Promotion of the Translation of Dutch Literary Works, which aimed to publish commercial English translations of seventeen volumes of Dutch literature, but ended abruptly in 1969 with the publication of the tenth. Through analysis of the underlying aims, the prevailing culture of literary translation, the choices of text and the notion of a ‘Dutch canon’, the structure and management of the commissioning body and the relationship with the publisher, Heinemann, the chapter provides a nuanced cautionary tale about the use of imaginative literature for cultural diplomacy. The chapter documents the breakdown of the project’s relationship with Heinemann, prompted not only by the publisher’s major commercial difficulties in the period, but also by the quality of the translations, which regularly needed review, revision and correction, and the unsuitability of the texts chosen. It highlights the negative reception of those volumes that were reviewed, which found in the texts precisely the claustrophobic provincialism that the series had been conceived to overcome.
The Degenerate in Falling Slowly (1998)
Authors: Mayer Peta
Published: September 2020

Silence and rereading are key discursive practices of Miriam and Beatrice Sharpe, the sister protagonists of Falling Slowly. Their forms of absence and excess cause critics to herald the decline of Brookner’s powers in her early reception.The sisters also share a number of behaviours with the aesthetes and Decadents labelled degenerate in Max Nordau’s Degeneration including Joris-Karl Huysmans, Baudelaire and Stéphane Mallarmé. Such behaviours include dullness, decline, ennui, inactivity, boredom, invisibility, anxiety, restlessness and absence. This chapter spins the hierarchical figure of the degenerate across the sister relationship of the domestic fiction to produce a queering of the domestic fiction. Rejecting the normative impulse of the figure, it instead engages its deconstructive capacity to render transparent the mechanisms of epistemological production and expose the way in which subjects and objects attain status as real or unreal, healthy or sick, visible or invisible, literal or figurative, heterosexual or lesbian. Inspired by Lee Edelman’s No Future: Queer Theory and the Death Drive, it mobilises a ‘no future’ narrative as the narrative form of the degenerate. The rhetorical form of syllepsis, which governs shifts between the literal and figurative, is reappropriated from the male canon to underscore the open-ended nature of signification.
The Storyteller Returns: Hotel du Lac (1984)
Authors: Mayer Peta
Published: September 2020

The epilogue reads Hotel du Lac through the figure of the storyteller, which it links to the genius woman writer, and argues that Brookner’s Booker Prize winner proleptically anticipates her aestheticist emphasis on beauty, form and technique. Utilising Walter Benjamin’s essay on the storyteller, and iconic figures of Staël, Colette, Woolf and Proust, the storyteller is produced through narratives of exile and return and focuses on the craft of the writer and artist persona including misreading, reversal, orality, frame narrative, epistolary form, paraprosdokian and anagnorisis. Colette’s The Pure and the Impure helps contextualise Edith’s scopophilic fascination with the mother/daughter pairing of Iris and Jennifer Pusey, which symptomise as a homoerotic narrative excess in the unsent letters to her lover. Edith’s queer preoccupations further illuminate the satirical treatement of gender, love, marriage and the heterosexual romance narrative in Hotel du Lac and more broadly in Brookner’s oeuvre. Like most Brooknerines, Edith rejects conventional romance for the romance of art and women’s writing. In conclusion, this chapter reviews the cross-historical intertextual performance of creative male gender through the contemporary female subject which sanctions a host of queer possibilities between female characters and plotlines. It celebrates Brookner as consummate aesthete, artist and storyteller.
Evolutionary psychology
Authors: Miller Gavin
Published: September 2020

This chapter explores the importation into science fiction of evolutionary psychology, including earlier schools such as Social Darwinism and sociobiology. Social Darwinism motivates an anti-utopian tendency to forecast a state of future decadence that can be arrested only by the re-activation of dormant evolutionary mechanisms. This pattern may be familiar enough from H.G. Wells’s The Time Machine (1895) and Robert Heinlein’s The Moon is a Harsh Mistress (1966), but is less easily perceived in Octavia Butler’s sequence, Parable of the Sower (1993) and Parable of the Talents (1998), which predicts a new evolutionary lineage for homo sapiens emerging from a future in which the USA is a failed state. The authority of evolutionary psychology is challenged in Kurt Vonnegut’s Galápagos (1985), which satirizes the sociobiological paradigm by taking to the point of absurdity evolutionary explanations for human aggression. Science fiction can, moreover, escape hackneyed Social Darwinist discourses by drawing upon alternative evolutionary psychologies. Naomi Mitchison’s future utopia in Memoirs of a Spacewoman (1962) draws upon attachment theory to offer a renewed feminist ethic of compassion and imaginative understanding, while also estranging our dominant ethical systems.
Conclusion
Authors: Miller Gavin
Published: September 2020

The conclusion firstly draws out some broader theses from the preceding chapters. It then provisionally analyses the deployment of science fiction tropes within the body of official psychological literature, whether at a popular or more scholarly level. Although science fiction may be exploited in a very simple way within psychological theory and practice as a popularizing and didactic tool, there are other, more complex and often self-conscious ways that the genre is used. Psychologists as varied as Sandra and Daryl Bem, Randy Thornhill and Craig Palmer, and Steven Pinker, invoke different speculative narratives of the future as a way to legitimate their particular psychological claims. Perhaps surprisingly, psychology can also make use of science fiction motifs to offer cognitive estrangement of the present, be this consciously, in critical feminist psychology, or unwittingly, as in the famed obedience experiments of Stanley Milgram.
Introduction
Authors: Miller Gavin
Published: September 2020

For the purposes of this book, science fiction is defined broadly in the terms advanced by Darko Suvin, with a focus on the genre from the late nineteenth century onwards. Psychology is conceived as the modern Western discipline, running from the origins of experimental psychology in the late nineteenth century to the ascendance of neuroscience as a disciplinary rival in the late twentieth century. Five different functions for psychological discourses in science fiction are proposed. The didactic-futurological function educates the non-specialist through extrapolation of psychological technologies, teaching within the context of futurological forecasting. The utopian
function anchors in historical possibility the imagining of a currently non-existent society, whether utopian or dystopian. The cognitive-estranging function defamiliarizes and denaturalizes social reality by extrapolating current social tendencies and/or construct unsettling fictional analogues of the reader’s world. The metafictional function self-consciously thematizes within narrative fiction the psychological origins, nature, and function of science fiction as a genre. The reflexive function addresses the construction of individuals and groups who have reflexively adopted the ‘truth’ of psychological knowledge.
Introduction
Authors: Ghosh Hrileena
Published: September 2020

The introduction sets out the premise of the book: that in Keats’ medical Notebook, we have a manuscript that reveals the true depth of the poet’s medical knowledge as well as the significant influence this exercised on his poetry. Its first part offers an overview of the chapters of commentary, and briefly discusses major works in the field, indicating the ways in which the present book is in dialogue with this body of scholarship. The second part discusses Keats’ medical Notebook as a manuscript, detailing its layout. It reveals the challenges presented by the manuscript, and discusses the editorial principles governing the present edition, explaining their rationale. It concludes with a description of the editorial and bibliographic symbols used in the edition presented in the book.
Keats’ Medical Milieu
Authors: Ghosh Hrileena
Published: September 2020

This chapter offers an account of the London teaching hospitals to show that Keats had privileged access to intellectual capital. London was a hotbed of intellectual ferment, as embodied by professional bodies like the Guy’s Hospital Physical Society and which found expression in the Vitalism Debates. The milieu within which Keats lived and worked is explored, focusing particularly upon characteristic aspects of Romantic medical training that are now obsolete, such as dissection of corpses freshly exhumed by ‘resurrection men’. The only known account of Keats in action as a surgeon is discussed, revealing that Keats was not fully persuaded by the prevailing Brunonian hypothesis of physiology. The chapter draws upon unpublished contemporary manuscripts in dating Keats’ medical notes, thus resolving an important and hitherto uncertain issue.
‘Fixé par les cris des hirondelles au vol géométrique du désir’ (Picasso, 7 June 1936)
Authors: Read Peter
Published: September 2020

Between 1935 and 1939, Picasso wrote nearly 350 prose poems, mainly in French, revealing, according to André Breton, his ‘besoin d’expression totale’, driven, according to Tristan Tzara, by his “‘imagination torrentielle’. This chapter seeks to explore and appreciate the creative tension in Picasso’s prose poems between irrepressibly inventive improvisation and a complementary tendency to connect and orchestrate, through the use of multifarious patterns and serial permutations. These formal qualities reveal and emphasise the writer’s personal and political desires and preoccupations. Threads of symmetry and anaphora in Picasso’s literary manuscripts, sometimes extending from one text into others over long periods of time, invite comparison with similarly continuous lines of graphic experimentation in his sketchbooks, confirming the intergeneric persistence and consistency of his creative impulses and strategies.
Going on, or Achieving Interruption
Authors: Hanrahan Mairéad
Published: September 2020

This reading of Jacques Roubaud’s Quelque chose noir explores how poetry helps the poet to grieve for his young wife and enables him to go on. The issue for him is how to begin living again, how to put an end to the deathly paralysis that immobilised him following her death. Analysis of the relationship to time in the poems shows that Roubaud is concerned not just to render the passing of time but to make time pass. Particular attention is paid to the structural anomaly of the four poems in the collection that do not have nine verses and the use of hyperbaton in order to argue that Roubaud’s concern is to interrupt the stillness, so that the ending of his wife’s life will not be the final ending.
Banlieues
Authors: Tchumkam Hervé
Published: September 2020

The fall 2005 riots in France unveiled a war of representation about France’s past and present, and also sparked the reference to imperial legacies to examine current social disqualification and racial discrimination in France. This essay examines the close relationship between banlieues and memory in contemporary France, with a special emphasis on the analogy between the outskirts of major French cities populated mainly by the heirs of African migrations to Europe and the colonies. This reading of the banlieues that builds on the war of memories contends that present ideologies in France are part of an emerging global belief in the ‘clash of civilizations’. Ultimately, this paper argues that it is urgent that the banlieues cease to be perceived as lawless zones to become real lieux de mémoire that can constitute a site where both the French State and its citizens of African heritage can converge around a healed common memory.
Marseille
Authors: Kleppinger Kathryn
Published: September 2020

This contribution examines the city of Marseille’s strikingly vague relationship to its colonial past. Through an analysis of economic policies developed in response to the national government’s colonial expansion, the essay shows how Marseille’s business leaders effectively channeled natural resources from throughout the French Empire to enhance their own production capacities. Aided by the population flow to and through the city, industry in Marseille also took advantage of access to cheap colonial labor. After the independence of Vietnam and Algeria, however, local leaders were faced with a new challenge with the mass arrivals of European populations who chose to resettle in France. Today the city’s relationship with its colonial past remains palimpsestic: readily visible in heavily Algerian neighborhoods such as Belsunce but officially unacknowledged by museums or memorials.
Fort de Joux
Authors: Kemedjio Cilas
Published: September 2020

Toussaint Louverture was defeated by la mort blanche, a phenomenon that incarnates the implacable logic of the slave ship. On February 4, 1794, the Convention proclaimed the general abolition of slavery in the French colonies. Toussaint Louverture, governor for life since 3 July 1801, was captured by French forces on 7 June 1802. Deported aboard the frigate La Créole, Toussaint and his family were kept aboard the frigate Le Héros for more than two months in the port of Brest. Louverture, transported to the prison in Château de Joux on the French-Swiss border, died on 9 April 1803, unable to survive the harsh winter. Efforts have been made to revalorize his memory, despite the inability to locate his remains. The postcolonial memorialization of the hero of the Haitian Revolution would always face an intractable question: how do past heroes square with the contemporary fate of today’s Haiti. The following essay does not answer such a question, but it seeks to provide elements that may move the discussion with the awareness of the pitfalls of postcolonial memorialization.
Slavery Memorials
Authors: Curtius Anny-Dominique
Published: September 2020

This essay focuses on the beheaded statue of Empress Joséphine along with visual and performance artist Sarah Trouche’s reappropriations of the politically motivated beheading, the Memorial Cap 110 Mémoire et Fraternité, and the traveling Memorial of the Names of Abolition. The study contends that these memorials encapsulate the entangled history and memory of the transatlantic slave trade and slavery, and interrogate the traditional definition of archives, museums and the institutionalized aesthetics of marble memorials. Hence, the statue of Joséphine is examined as a palimpsestic memorial because of the ideological repurposing of the city scape surrounding the statue, as well as Sarah Trouche’s meaningful use of her naked body as a theatrical canvass to map out cogent solidarities about the turbulent memory of slavery. The historical distinctiveness of the Cap110 Memorial is explored for its power to serve as an intangible witness to the Middle Passage and excavate from under the beauty of its natural environment traces of historical turbulence. As palimpsestic anarchives and post-museums, the Cap110 Memorial along with the Memorial of the Names of the Abolition foster post and decolonial performances of remembrance.
The Memorial ACTe
Authors: Viala Fabienne
Published: September 2020

This essay examines the nature, scope and consequences of the seism of memory since its eruption in 2000 in Guadeloupe, French West Indies. In particular, it questions how the context of a multifaceted appetite for collective remembrance took the form of competing strategies for memorialization in the space. As such, it focuses on the heritage of pain, resistance and pride at the local, national and regional levels. I draw on Shalini Puri’s analysis of the repressed memory of the 1983 Grenada revolution in Operation Urgent Memory to identify in the landscape of Guadeloupe submerged, residual and eruptive ‘platforms of memory’ (Puri, 2012). In the specific case of Guadeloupe, the collective efforts of the Guadeloupean people for re-appropriating their non-French and non-European heritage on the island have turned into competitive post-traumatic approaches of the history of transatlantic slave trade. This essay eventually analyses the case of the Mémorial ACTe (MACTe) – Museum of Contemporary Caribbean Art and Memorial for the History of the Slave Trade – as constituting the most successful expression of what I define as cultural marronage, in the ambivalent postcolonial environment of the French Overseas Regions.
Musée National de l’Histoire de l’Immigration
Authors: Crowley Patrick
Published: September 2020

When the Palais de la Porte Dorée opened on May 5 1931 it was to serve as an exhibition space for the Exposition Coloniale, the largest and most spectacular of colonial exhibitions in France. In the years that followed it served as a museum for non-European art before a section was repurposed in 2007 for what is now the Musée National de l’Histoire de l’Immigration (MNHI). For some, the presence of the MNHI effects a reversal of the building’s original colonial function, for others the MNHI is compromised by the colonial carapace that surrounds it. This entry tracks the history of the building and the controversies that surrounded the location of migrant memories and artefacts within a site of colonial memory.
Les Tirailleurs sénégalais
Authors: Murphy David
Published: September 2020

This essay explores the history of the tirailleurs sénégalais, a corps of colonial infantrymen founded in 1857. The tirailleurs were initially deployed to aid the French in the ‘pacification’ of their West African Empire but they made their mark on metropolitan France when they served in their tens of thousands in the First World War, distinguishing themselves in major battles, including the famous victory at Verdun. In the aftermath of the war, the image of a cartoonish, wide-eyed, smiling tirailleur sénégalais on packets of the popular Banania powdered chocolate drink, still used today, arguably became the most important site of French colonial memory.
Colonial Photography
Authors: Guégan Xavier
Published: September 2020

The succession of political regimes in post-1848 France was experienced in similar ways in post-conquest Algeria. The political, social and cultural ideologies that emerged during this period were mirrored in the North African départements, and therefore it is perhaps not surprising that connected events happened simultaneously in the métropole and Algeria. It was not only through its common events and political principles that the Algerian territories became French, but undoubtedly also as a result of the emergence of new cultural media and cultural political attitudes. Taking and viewing photographs were aligned with the new French paradigm of the modern Nation, its identity construction, and interconnection with Algeria. Up to the beginning of World War I there were two moments that connected the photographic visual imagery of Algeria as part of the creation of lieux de mémoire within the Second Empire and Third Republic regimes; the 1850s with its ‘cataloguing’ of the newly established French Algeria and the 1880s-1900s with its portraiture of ‘consumptions and ideologies’ of a French Republican Algeria.
Couscous
Authors: Durmelat Sylvie
Published: September 2020

This article proposes to consider couscous, a North African specialty and a favourite dish of the French, as an edible site of memory. Displacing the focus from gastronomy, a discourse of national culinary superiority, to a single dish, I retrace the irresistible ascent of couscous to fame in the French culinary pantheon. The military conquest and colonization of Algeria familiarized French diners with the dish and associated it with forms of racialized and sexualized colonial burlesque in songs and vaudeville. Settlers appropriated it as terroir to claim their “Algérianité.” North African immigration and decolonization created a de facto market of consumers in France, while the industrialization of food production made this preparation into a valuable commodity and a ready-made meal, obfuscating its colonial roots. The French’s affection for couscous is often hailed as a sign of tolerance in an otherwise divisive and fraught public conversation about immigration, identity, and discrimination. However, couscous’ colonial baggage and racialized legacy continue to resonate, shaping tastes, and informing political rhetoric as well as cultural hierarchies. The (after)taste of empire lingers on at a granular level, as edible memory.
Sport
Authors: Dine Philip
Published: September 2020

Neither physical education nor organized games became truly central to the French imperial project. However, the Republican mission civilisatrice was undoubtedly susceptible to expression through sports. Thus, the contemporary success of French sportsmen and sportswomen with strong family and/or community connections with the formerly colonized territories –such as the so-called Black-Blanc-Beur football team that won a historic first World Cup in 1998 and the similarly multicultural side that triumphed again in 2018– has deep roots in the nation’s colonial past. Such varied activities as horse racing, motor sport, boxing, cycling and athletics, as well as football, contributed to a process of sporting mobilization that could take both pro-colonial and anti-colonial forms, up to and including revolutionary struggle. The contrasting memorial responses to this conflictual history highlight the processes of selection involved in the sporting sphere, as in so many others.
(Re-)Thinking with Eating and Drinking
Authors: Cruickshank Ruth
Published: September 2020

There is an extraordinary convergence of post-war French thought which, knowingly or not, uses or is legible through food and drink and carries the potential for re-thinking overlooked psychological, ideological and historical meanings in representations of eating and drinking. Some thinkers are associated with eating and drinking: Lévi-Strauss’ culinary triangle; Barthes’ ideological and psychosociological readings of food and drink; or Certeau, Giard and Mayol positing cooking and shopping as creative ‘poaching’ on capitalist scripts. Food and drink exemplify arguments, with Bataille’s potlatch illustrating economies of excess; Sartre’s sweet, viscous lure of bad faith; Beauvoir’s skewering of how domestic labour constructs women as man’s negative other; Bourdieu on how food choices perpetuate class division; the leftovers of weaning in Lacanian lack and repressed trauma; and Kristeva’s skin of milk evoking abjection. More metaphorically, Cixous figures mother’s milk as ‘white ink’ and reading as ‘eating on the sly’, whilst for Derrida, traces and remainders are necessary leftovers of meaning and ‘eating well’ may counter carno-phallogocentrism. Introducing how Fischler’s theorizing of the incorporation of food fuels new readings, and noting the influence of Marx and Freud (and their dependence on food), new critical combinations emerge, creating a flexible mode of re-thinking with leftovers.
