Les Antilles et la représentation de l'espace transatlantique chez Maryse Condé

Si Maryse Condé, écrivain française originaire de la Guadeloupe, semble s’être sentie chez elle dans l’ensemble du monde atlantique (elle a résidé aux Antilles, en France, aux Etats-Unis, en Afrique), ainsi certaines de ses œuvres, alors même qu’elles prennent pour cadre de référence les Antilles, témoignent d’une rare capacité à s’approprier tout l’espace atlantique, que ce soit à travers les mouvements réels, libres ou forcés, des protagonistes ou au contraire par le biais de leurs souvenirs et rêveries. L’analyse des Derniers rois mages (1992), en particulier, nous permettra de dégager l’originalité de Maryse Condé en ce qui concerne la représentation de cet espace – espace non plus organisé en fonction des cartographies imaginaires figées fournies par l’impérialisme, la « négritude » ou la « créolité », mais traversé par une dynamique exploratoire, multifocale et non fusionnelle.

Evaluation of the association between cryptosporidiosis outbreaks and two interactive water fountain parks: Epidemiologic analysis and implications for public health

Background. A community-wide outbreak of cryptosporidiosis occurred in Dallas County during the summer of 2008. A subset of cases occurring with onset of illness within a 2 week interval was epidemiologically linked to 2 neighborhood interactive water fountain parks. ^ Methods. A case control study was conducted to evaluate risk factors associated with developing illness with cryptosporidiosis from the fountain parks. Cases were selected from a line list from the epidemiological study. The selection for the controls was either healthy family members or a daycare center nearby. Cases and controls were not matched. ^ Results. Interviews were completed for 44 fountain park attendees who met case definition and 54 community controls. Twenty-seven percent (27.3%) of the cases and 13.0% of the controls were between the ages of 0–4 years. Thirty-nine percent (38.6%) of the cases and 24.1% of the controls were between the ages of 5–13 years. Fourteen percent (13.6%) of the cases and 33.3% of the controls were between the ages of 14–31 years. Twenty percent (20.5%) of the cases and 29.6% of the controls were between the ages of 32–63 years. 47.7% of the cases and 42.6% of the controls were males. Fountain park attendees who reported having been splashed in the face with water were 10 times more likely to become ill than controls (OR = 10.0, 95% CI = 2.8–35.1). Persons who reported having swallowed water from the interactive fountains were 34 times more likely to become ill than controls (OR = 34.3, 95%CI = 9.3–125.7). ^ Conclusion. Prompt reporting of cases, identification of outbreak sources, and immediate implementation of remediation measures were critical in curtailing further transmission from these particular sites through the remainder of the season. This investigation underscores the potential for cryptosporidiosis outbreaks to occur in interactive fountain parks, and the need for enhanced preventive measures in these settings. Education of the public regarding avoidance of behaviors such as drinking water from interactive fountains is also an important component of public health prevention efforts. ^
