"More than thirty years after the birth of the modern women's movement and the beginnings of feminist art-making and art history, the time is ripe to examine the legacies of those revolutions. In Women Artists at the Millennium, artists, art historians, and critics examine the differences that feminist art practice and critical theory have made in late twentieth-century art and the discourses surrounding it. In 1971, when Linda Nochlin published her essay "Why Have There Been No Great Women Artists?" in a special issue of Art News, there were no women's studies, no feminist theory, no such thing as feminist art criticism; there was instead a focus on the mythic figure of the great (male) artist through history. Since then, the "woman artist" has not simply been assimilated into the canon of "greatness" but has expanded art-making into a multiplicity of practices with new parameters and perspectives. In Women Artists at the Millennium artists including Martha Rosler and Yvonne Rainer reflect upon their own varied practices and art historians discuss the innovative work of such figures as Louise Bourgeois, Lygia Clark, Mona Hatoum, and Carrie Mae Weems. And Linda Nochlin considers changes since her landmark essay and looks to the future, writing, "We will need all our wit and courage to make sure that women's voices are heard, their work seen and written about."--Jaquette

Après avoir été longtemps des acteurs négligés, ou plus exactement des acteurs dépendants ou discrédités, les familles et les proches sont l’objet d’un regain d’intérêt, d’un renouvellement du regard porté sur leurs compétences et réalisations, d’une appréciation moins péjorative de leurs contributions. L’objectif de cet article est de rappeler à grands traits cette évolution, de situer l’importance de la production de santé dans la famille, d’interroger sa prise en charge par les hommes et les femmes.

It is useful on the occasion of the 21st anniversary of the ‘Cyborg Manifesto’ not only to reconsider its lessons in the context of what is frequently described as the re-engineering of ‘life itself’, but to look at Haraway’s earlier work on embryos. In this article I begin with Haraway’s analysis of embryology in the 1970s to suggest her cyborg embryo was already there, and has, if anything, gained relevance in today’s embryo-strewn society. I argue further, as the title suggests, that the cyborg embryo has been crucial in defining our path to what I am calling here, building on Haraway’s notion of trans from Modest_Witness, ‘transbiology’ - broadly meaning stem cell research, cloning, tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. To illustrate this argument I draw on recent ethnographic fieldwork in a new stem cell derivation facility in the UK built adjacent to an IVF surgery. Using this example, I explore the important and paradoxical role of IVF in the emergence of stem cell science, cloning and transbiology, suggesting that Haraway’s analysis remains crucial to understanding the ironic and contradictory, and unexpectedly generative, circumstances through which the IVF-stem cell interface - the door to transbiology - came into being.

Des grossesses précoces chez des jeunes adolescentes haïtiennes de Montréal entraînent des situations de crise qui touchent plusieurs familles, en plus d’interpeller et d’impliquer des intervenants de diverses disciplines. Le sujet, abordé dans un contexte transculturel, fait référence au biculturalisme haïtien, tant en Haïti qu’en terre étrangère. Dans cet article, l’auteur aborde plus particulièrement la situation des Haïtiens dans le contexte québécois. L’analyse de l’attitude des parents des deux groupes culturels, occidentalisé et créole, constitue une lumière médiatrice dans les relations d’aide ou d’intervention psychothérapeutique. Dans la communauté haïtienne, les problèmes d’identité culturelle d’une part, et, le manque d’affiliation à la famille, d’autre part, sont à la base des conflits entre parents et enfants. L’auteur conclut avec des propositions dans le but d’améliorer l’efficacité des interventions avec ces familles dans leur processus d’adaptation migratoire.
