La famille constitue la garantie première, avant toute convention et toute charte, des droits de l’enfant. Pour cette simple et bonne raison que cette unité sociale de base n’est régie ni par la discipline, ni par l’adhésion intellectuelle, ni par l’intérêt, mais avant tout par l’amour. L’amour indéfectible pour l’être en qui nous reconnaissons notre propre sang et notre propre chair, un être qui nous survivra en ce monde et d’une certaine manière nous confère l’immortalité . Mais quoi de plus délicat qu’un enfant exposé à des violences au sein de sa propre famille alors que cette dernière est non seulement le lieu privilégié de l’épanouissement affectif et personnel de chacun, particulièrement de l’enfant mais est aussi un lieu intime et privé. Et la question de la violence conjugale dérange car elle touche à l’intimité du foyer. Aussi, les enfants se trouvent malgré eux être témoins ou victimes des violences conjugales, ce qui crée en eux une situation de mise en danger permanente ; ils se sentent constamment en insécurité tant physique que morale et portent sur eux un lourd secret qu’ils ne devraient dévoiler à personne sous peine de sanctions sévères et de graves privations de la part de leurs parents. En effet, évoquer les violences dans ses diverses formes au sein du couple parental dont ils peuvent être victimes, peut mettre mal à l’aise et conduire au silence. Ils deviennent ainsi des victimes résignées. Tandis que l’impact desdites violences sur le développement tant physique que psychique de l’enfant est néfaste et dévastateur. Il est moins évident de prétendre éradiquer ce fléau incrusté dans nos pays depuis bien longtemps, mais il convient de s’investir dans les moyens mis à notre portée pour le réduire sensiblement.

This paper aims to delve into the underlying trends of the contemporary historiography of the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939). Under the guidance of historical accounts developed outside Spain before the end of the Francoist dictatorship (1939-1977), and during the transition to democracy (1977-1983), some Spanish historians strove to write a bias-free and fact-based depiction of the war and its aftermath. By relying on close readings of historical documents, those historians assumed their methodology to be the most accurate when dealing with historical events that are so contested. However, recent shifts in the way this past has been remembered in Spain have produced a historiography endorsing new perspectives, which has also given rise to controversies among historians regarding the scope of and the assumptions underlying their work. To understand the currents of these debates, this paper echoes these groundbreaking approaches and attempts to illuminate how the influence of the social movement of «historical memory» has led Spanish historians to question their assumptions and endorse a more heterodox and interdisciplinary approach to engaging with the history of the Spanish Civil War.

In June 2023, we brought together leaders who responded to the emergency phase COVID-19 pandemic in Ontario as part of a "Witness Seminar." This approach to studying history was developed by the Institute of Contemporary British History. It has been extensively used in the history of science and medicine by the Wellcome Trust History of Twentieth Century Medicine. A witness seminar provides a collective oral history, in which participants can express diverse perspectives, build on each other's thoughts, and create a documentary record for policy makers and future historians. The published transcript provides an intimate look at how the pandemic played out in the eyes of some of key responders and raises many questions about the history of public health funding and administration in the province of Ontario, the failures in long-term care, and the need to improve pandemic communication. This article documents the success of the pandemic response.

This article argues that the National 9/11 Museum blurs the lines between first hand experience and the experiences of visitors who come to participate in a shared encounter of public mourning and non-stop documentation. All visitors to the museum are invited to contribute to its testimonial archive in two prominent ways: by preserving their own “9/11 story” in a recording booth or by composing a message in a digital guestbook that is subsequently projected against the slurry wall as part of the permanent exhibit. By encouraging visitors to “Join the Conversation,” the museum frames 9/11 less as a specific event or date circumscribed by geographical spaces and more as an unending process of subjectification, in which the category of “witness” is constituted through acts of virtual exchange without much regard to an individual's proximity to the event. Bearing witness is unbounded in time and constituted though the circulation of affects, in which the feeling of what it is like to claim the status of witness emerges as a privileged figuration of historical trauma—yet one which remains mediated by state power in unexamined ways.

Actors of performances and of postdramatic theatre navigate commonly nowadays between the performer and the character. But what happens when the possibility of incarnation is completely denied, without offering the possibility of performing actions, of engaging personality? We think that the actor becomes an “experiencer”, a witness of all of us, who allows us to develop a very personal relation to the life on stage and to the words. We would like to focus on two main examples. In the Earthquake of Chili (2012), Chétouane’s actors just “speak” Kleist’s text; the sparing activity doesn’t illustrate the narration. But the actors say the text with their affection, they are moved by the text and themselves, becoming witnesses of a human reader, of impersonal empathy. Not only this aesthetic in absentia can be fulfilling acting. On the other hand, Pollesch’s actors contribute to make a highly intensive and intellectual text with the author and director, but Pollesch doesn’t permit them to project themselves in it. That’s why they are simultaneously so intensively dived in the text and absent from it, performing nothing but what is around the words, in deep af-fection and formality: witnesses of the struggle to think, to speak, to be.

The aim of this article is to think of the place of the witness as a third place that the analyst, in the clinic of trauma, is able to sustain. According to Ferenczi, in traumatic dreams a third is already being summoned. It is not the witness of the realm of Law, nor the place of the father or the symbolic Law. This is a third space that can be called potential, interstitial space, indeterminate and formless, where something that at first would be incommunicable circulates - and gradually takes shape. This space allows and supports the literalness of a testimonial narrative, its hesitations, paradoxes and silences. More than a trauma theory, the notion of a potential space would be the great contribution of psychoanalysis to the theoretical and clinical research with survivors of death camps, situations of torture and violence.

Cet article présente une étude interdisciplinaire des plus anciens témoins de la traduction galaïco-portugaise du roman arthurien conservés dans les archives et les bibliothèques ibériques : les fragments de la Estória do Santo Graal, du Livro de Merlin e du Livro de Tristan. Les deux premières parties (codicologique et paléographique) de ce travail se concentrent sur la description des manuscrits, tenant compte de leur destin commun après l’avènement de l'imprimerie et classifiant les différents types d’écriture gothique qu’ils conservent. Les deux dernières parties sont dédiées à l'étude des textes afin de comprendre, d'une part, le rapport des témoins galaïco-portugais avec la source française et leur place dans le stemma codicum de chaque roman et, d'autre part, le profil du traducteur et les transformations qui découlent du processus de traduction.

Eyewitness reports become less accurate after exposure to inconsistent information. When such phenomenon of diminishing accuracy occurs among cowitnesses, it is termed memory conformity or the social contagion effect. The present study set out to provide a rigorous test of the underlying mechanisms with particular emphasis on investigating whether genuine false memory is involved. To this end, we conducted an earwitness experiment in which some participants were exposed to discrepant cowitness information and provided their recollections repeatedly and under different conditions. Additionally, we examined the impact of cowitness intimacy by using a random assignment procedure, an aspect that has not been previously studied. With regard to the underlying processes, our findings clearly argue that informational rather than normative influence plays a dominant role. Moreover, highly accurate source attributions indicated that participants were aware of drawing on the recollection of their counterparts. Consequently, we did not obtain any evidence for false memory. With regard to cowitness intimacy, the results were inconsistent and call for further research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In his developments on the imaginary, Lacan departed from the Freudian interpretation of the oedipal relationship between brothers, but he "distanced" himself from Freud's idea of jealousy; then, in the context of Seminar 17, when reinterpreting the Freudian myth of the primitive horde, he came up with a new concept of brotherhood. It can be said that, regarding the relationship between brothers, Lacan moved "beyond the Oedipus". To complement this Lacanian development, we turn to the function of the witness as a way of apprehending the point where the brother is not only a fellowman, but a figure of the neighbor.

In the novel The Armies, Evelio Rosero gives existence to the voice of a witness for those who have been silenced in the crossfire of the war that pervades us. Ismael Pasos, in his role as a witness, shows how the conditions and effects of war undermine the very foundation of humanity of the inhabitants of San José, a name that could identify any of our devastated towns. This story, which moves around the present of the events, makes audible the impossible cry of a dead man; and, in the climax of horror, it shows the unbearable figure of a voyeur, in which we would not want to see ourselves, since it would be "worse than if I looked at myself in the mirror".

The article discusses the use of the Latin word "excessus" in Papal letters which, according to the author, is mistranslated simply as abuse when it actually refers to crimes and offenses committed by the clergy and its highest dignitaries. From the middle of the 12th century this word came to be used quite frequently in Papal letters, particularly during the pontificates of Eugene III, Alexander III, and Innocent III, to chastise clergy for transgressions relating to changes in the canonical procedures and the acquisition of fame. Citing Church law contained in works such as Gratian's Decretum, the papal denunciations reflected the popes' desire to make the Church perfect and was, in fact, central to the functioning of Church governing procedures.

Abstract: A new method for modelling genotype × environment interaction: APLAT. The yield predicted by a crop-simulation model is developed as a Taylor series in the neighbourhood of a parameter vector of a control genotype. With this local linearisation, these genotype parameters can be estimated by a linear regression of the observed yield on the derivatives of the crop-simulation model predictions with respect to its parameters.
