Attachement à la mère et au père, intersubjectivité et utilisation d'informations publiques.

La théorie de l'attachement est une théorie dyadique, par essence. Même si le père peut être reconnu comme une réelle figure d'attachement, en ce sens qu'il est susceptible de procurer à l'enfant une expérience de sécurité, la théorie reste essentiellement dyadique. Redéfinir la théorie de l'attachement dans une perspective triadique n'est pas sans poser des difficultés théoriques. Ace propos, nous suggérons une perspective inspirée par un concept d'écologie comportementale, celui de l'utilisation adaptative par les organismes d'informations publiques fournies par inadvertance par d'autres organismes, concept que nous étendrons à cette fin aux expressions émotionnelles. Nous proposons alors l'idée que dans la triade, chaque partenaire utilise ce type d'informations, fournies à la fois par chacun des autres partenaires ainsi que par les interactions ellesmêmes entre ces partenaires. L'utilisation de ces informations aurait, dans cette perspective, une fonction adaptative pour le maintien de la triade comme une entité soudée par des échanges d'expériences émotionnelles. The theory of attachment is essentially a dyadic theory. Even though the father is recognised as a real figure of attachment in that he brings a feeling of security to the child, basically the theory remains dyadic. Redefining the theory of attachment in a triadic perspective is not without raising difficult theoretical problems. This leads us to suggest a perspective inspired by the concept of ecological behaviour : the adaptative use of public information acquired inadvertently through other organisms, a concept applied here to emotional expression. We propose that in the triad each partner uses this type of information brought by the other partner as well as those very interactions between both partners. The use of information to maintain the triad as an entity bound by exchanges of emotional experience would be an adaptative function.

This is YOUR Highway Commission,1968

Before the Iowa Department of Transportation (DOT) was established by legislation in July 1974, there were several state agencies that handled the tasks that are now the responsibility of an integrated, multimodal Iowa DOT. Among those agencies was the Iowa State Highway Commission (IHC). You are invited to read a brief history of the Iowa DOT here:http://www.iowadot.gov/about/organizationalhistory.htm The IHC operated as an independent state agency between 1913 and 1974. In 1968, the IHC created and released This is YOUR Highway Commission, a 24 ½- minute film that showcased the responsibilities and functions of the IHC. The narrator describes the activities of various offices and employees, and explains how those activities benefited Iowa’s citizens and motorists. The film journeys through all areas of IHC responsibility to Iowa’s roadways, including administration, planning, design, bidding, right of way, materials, construction, maintenance and facilities. As part of the Iowa DOT’s effort to preserve and archive its historical resources, the original 16mm film was professionally cleaned, restored and digitized so that it could be made available via this website. The Iowa DOT is currently researching and compiling information necessary to prepare detailed biographies of the IHC employees identified in the film. Included in each biography will be still frames taken from the film, as well as other images from the Iowa DOT’s archives. This more comprehensive description of the film will be available in the future. In the meantime, below is a list of the IHC employees who have been identified. The list is arranged in the order in which each employee first appears in the film. There remain numerous unidentified employees in the film, and the Iowa DOT would greatly appreciate any assistance in identifying them. If you recognize an IHC employee in the film who is not on this list, please contactbeth.collins@dot.iowa.gov with any information you feel would be useful. Identified employees: Joseph Coupal, Jr.—Director of Highways Harry Bradley—Commissioner Derby Thompson—Commissioner John Hansen—Commissioner Koert Voorhees—Commissioner Harold Shiel—Engineer Howard Gunnerson—Chief engineer Martha Groth—Commission Secretary Robert Barry—Commissioner Nancy Groomes—Director’s Secretary Russell Moreland—Planning C.B.
