Obesity is heritable and predisposes to many diseases. To understand the genetic basis of obesity better, here we conduct a genome-wide association study and Metabochip meta-analysis of body mass index (BMI), a measure commonly used to define obesity and assess adiposity, in up to 339,224 individuals. This analysis identifies 97 BMI-associated loci (P < 5 × 10(-8)), 56 of which are novel. Five loci demonstrate clear evidence of several independent association signals, and many loci have significant effects on other metabolic phenotypes. The 97 loci account for ∼2.7% of BMI variation, and genome-wide estimates suggest that common variation accounts for >20% of BMI variation. Pathway analyses provide strong support for a role of the central nervous system in obesity susceptibility and implicate new genes and pathways, including those related to synaptic function, glutamate signalling, insulin secretion/action, energy metabolism, lipid biology and adipogenesis.

Au Québec, l'intérêt des chercheurs pour la scène éditoriale de la littérature pour la jeunesse grandit constamment. Nous avons cependant constaté l'absence de travaux sur un phénomène permettant d'accroître la diversité de cette littérature : l'édition de poésie. Bien que marginale et méconnue, cette production participe à la légitimation de la littérature pour la jeunesse en y introduisant un genre littéraire consacré. En matière de littérature pour la jeunesse, et particulièrement lorsqu'il s'agit de poésie, la médiation effectuée par le milieu scolaire représente un enjeu incontournable. Le premier chapitre dresse le portrait historique des liens établis entre le milieu scolaire et celui de la littérature pour la jeunesse depuis le XlXe siècle au Québec. La réflexion porte ensuite sur les programmes scolaires adoptés avec la réforme de l'éducation des années 2000, qui proposent de donner à l'enseignement un ancrage culturel. Dès lors, l'initiation des élèves à une littérature soutenue, issue d'une «culture seconde», devient un apprentissage essentiel. L'intérêt porté à une littérature pour la jeunesse plus exigeante crée un contexte favorable à l'édition de poésie pour la jeunesse. Le deuxième chapitre, qui porte sur la période 1993-2007, met en lumière le phénomène éditorial qui prend de l'ampleur, surtout après 2000. Outre l'analyse de ce corpus, il s'agit de retracer l'histoire de cette production laissée dans l'ombre jusqu'à ce jour. L'arrivée de la collection «Poésie» de La courte échelle en 2002 marque un moment charnière de l'édition de poésie pour la jeunesse. Le troisième chapitre du mémoire présente les stratégies éditoriales que cette collection a suscitées. Ainsi, La courte échelle a fait appel à des poètes reconnus et à des artistes visuels légitimés. La collection «Poésie» utilise des stratégies propres à la littérature pour la jeunesse, comme la conception de fiches pédagogiques visant le marché scolaire, mais ne se restreint pas à ce public. Le paratexte épuré, tout comme les titres des recueils qui évoquent des thématiques universelles, signalent que l'éditeur tente également de rejoindre un lectorat adulte.

In this paper I outline possibilities for, and issues arising from, opposition towards the dominant ideologies and practices of marketing knowledge (Hirschman 1993) through an engagement with feminist epistemology (Longino 1991, Harding 1987). Feminist epistemology is a political branch of naturalised epistemology (Quine 1969) primarily concerned with critique of constructions of gender, gender norms and gendered interests within the production of knowledge (Anderson 1995) and with theorising, grounding and legitimating feminist knowledge making practices (Harding 1987). It is most often associated with the feminist critique of science, and with feminist science and technology studies (Haraway 1987, Wajman 1997). Feminist epistemology asks the question, ‘what is the nature of the feminist critical project as a way of knowing?’ (McLennan 1995:392). This paper outlines the basis of the feminist critique of knowledge generally, and as applied to marketing knowledge, offers description of the three main epistemological approaches to this question and suggestions for their application in practice. The paper progresses important work by consumer behaviour theorists (Bristor and Fischer 1993, Hirschman 1993) on the potentials of feminist ways of knowing for marketing and consumer behaviour by moving beyond the tripartite of feminist approaches outlined, and extending the discussion to take into account the development of situated knowledges theory (Haraway 1989, 1997), which has become so important in the decade since these papers were written. It joins ongoing conversations in consumer behaviour and marketing that share similar feminist concerns (Catterall et al 1997, 2000, 2005, Bettany and Woodruffe Burton 1999, 2005, and Hogg et al 1999, 2000) but in this contribution it takes a slightly tangential approach, seeing marketing knowledge in terms of its epistemic culture by using a model of masculinity in academic cultures from feminist theory (Wagner 1994) to help conceptualise it as such. The dominant masculine ideology of marketing knowledge both in execution (Penaloza 1994, Bristor and Fischer 1994, Fischer and Bristor 1993, Woodruffe 1996), and values (Hirschman 1993, Brown 2000, Desmond 1997) has been well documented over the past fifteen years. However, although the basis of this, how is it manifested and how a feminist informed marketing knowledge could be achieved, have been addressed somewhat in the literature (Bristor and Fischer 1993, Hogg, Bettany and Long 2000) an updated rendering is necessary which focuses specifically on epistemology and situates this discussion within a cultural framework. To do this I use the notions of cultural masculinity in academic disciplines developed by Wagner (1994) of ‘organisational egocentrism’, ‘fake collectivity’ and ‘de realisation’. With these, I raise important and specific issues around the notion of the masculinity of marketing knowledge, and then present an outline of feminist epistemologies to illustrate how different feminist approaches to knowledge would address these concerns.

Electrex developed from a small exhibition at the start of the 1950s into the top electrotechnical exhibition of products and related services in the UK by the 1990s. Its emergence reflected a complex relationship with the key trade association, BEAMA (the British Electrical and Allied Manufacturers' Association). This history places this development in a wider context marked by the disappearance of the British Industries Fair in the 1950s, the entry to Europe and the establishment of the National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham. In the process it is also a rare case study of the under-explored business histories of exhibitions, as well as casting light on the changing post-war fortunes of the British electrical industries.
