[Reflections on Three Episodes of Louis Pasteur's Life as Seen in the William Dieterle's Movie (1936)]. / Réflexions sur trois épisodes de la vie de Louis Pasteur vus au travers du film de William Dieterle (1936).

Despite the criticism and reservations made about him still nowadays, Louis Pasteur may be considered one of the most important scientists of the last two centuries in public health, even if the work of the numerous scientists who preceded him have largely contributed to the successes he obtained without following too much to the rules of deontology and ethics currently in force in the world of research and medicine. He has definitively put down, by his experiments, the "theory of spontaneous generation" in force since antiquity, validated that of "germs or microbes", enacted the first rules of asepsis, while inspiring those of the antisepsis applied by Joseph Lister, and developed a certain number of vaccinations in veterinary and human medicine, including the anti-rabies, the one which made him famous all over the world. All this was not done without difficulty and Pasteur encountered for a large part of his life the misunderstanding of his contemporaries and the hostility of the medical world to which he did not belong. The authors comment in this text the movie The Story of Louis Pasteur by William Dieterle, filmed in 1936, based on the knowledge acquired since that date and doing the part of the real and the fiction.

Malgré les critiques et les réserves dont il est l'objet aujourd'hui, Louis Pasteur peut être considéré comme l'un des scientifiques les plus importants de ces deux derniers siècles en matière de santé publique, même si les apports des nombreux hommes de science qui l'ont précédé ont largement contribué aux succès qu'il obtint sans trop se soucier des règles de déontologie et d'éthique actuellement en vigueur dans le monde de la recherche et de la médecine. Il a mis définitivement à bas, par ses expériences, la « théorie de la génération spontanée ¼ en vigueur depuis l'Antiquité, validé celle « des germes ou microbes ¼, édicté les premières règles de l'asepsie tout en inspirant celles de l'antisepsie appliquée par Joseph Lister et mit au point un certain nombre de vaccinations en médecine vétérinaire puis humaine, notamment celle contre la rage, ce qui le rendit célèbre dans le monde entier. Tout cela ne s'est pas fait sans difficulté, et Pasteur s'est heurté pendant une grande partie de sa vie à l'incompréhension de ses contemporains et à l'hostilité du monde médical auquel il n'appartenait pas. Les auteurs commentent dans ce texte le film L'Histoire de Louis Pasteur de William Dieterle, tourné en 1936, en s'appuyant sur les connaissances acquises depuis cette date et en faisant la part du réel et de l'imaginé.

Passages on Brazilian scientific cinema.

The article examines the conditions of production and recognition of scientific cinema in Brazil by comparing three distinct moments and contexts: the first moment takes place in the nineteenth century, and it is related to the contribution of a Brazilian astronomer otherwise little known to Brazilian film scholars, the second addresses Benedito Junqueira Duarte's voluminous mid-twentieth-century filmography, and the third moment documents recent scientific film experiences within ultra high resolution movies transmitted over photonic networks. Future trajectories for aesthetic concerns and practical issues such as the archiving of ultra high definition cinema are usefully informed by these histories of scientific cinema, even as a current generation of multidisciplinary teams including scientists, filmmakers, computer scientists, and network engineers reinvent, rediscover, and necessarily expand the scientific cinema toward concerns of real time collaboration and teaching.

Robin Williams' suicide: a case study.

INTRODUCTION:: The world renowned comedian and four-time Oscar nominated actor Robin Williams died on August 11, 2014. From the outset, the news indicated that his death was believed to be a suicide and this was later confirmed to be true by the autopsy reports. Williams had been suffering from severe depression, which is believed to be the leading contributor to his suicide. In this case study, I will highlight the event of the actor's suicide and the main risk factors along with depression leading to his tragic death. As of the end of 2015, no other case study seemed to have addressed or explored the links between the cause (or causes) and events leading to Robin Williams' suicide. CASE DESCRIPTION:: Robin Williams was suffering from relationship problems, financial problems, drug addiction, and major depression. All of these factors led to his suicide. COMMENTS:: The chances of committing suicide drastically increase in the presence of any of the key risk factors. Unfortunately, the actor Robin Williams was dealing with four of the major risk factors all together, which put him at a high risk of committing suicide and eventually led to his tragic death.

Robin Williams' suicide: a case study / O suicídio de Robin Williams: estudo de caso

Abstract Introduction: The world renowned comedian and four-time Oscar nominated actor Robin Williams died on August 11, 2014.

Williams had been suffering from severe depression, which is believed to be the leading contributor to his suicide. In this case study, I will highlight the event of the actor's suicide and the main risk factors along with depression leading to his tragic death. As of the end of 2015, no other case study seemed to have addressed or explored the links between the cause (or causes) and events leading to Robin Williams' suicide. Case description: Robin Williams was suffering from relationship problems, financial problems, drug addiction, and major depression. All of these factors led to his suicide.

Resumo Introdução: O ator Robin Williams, comediante reconhecido internacionalmente e quatro vezes indicado ao Oscar, faleceu no dia 11 de agosto de 2014. Desde o início, os noticiários indicavam que sua morte provavelmente resultara de suicídio, e isso foi confirmado posteriormente nos relatórios da autópsia. Williams vinha sofrendo de depressão severa, a qual, acredita-se, foi o fator que mais contribuiu para seu suicídio. Neste estudo de caso, vou discorrer sobre o suicídio do ator e sobre os principais fatores de risco, além da depressão, que levaram à sua morte trágica. Do final de 2015 para cá, nenhum outro estudo de caso parece ter abordado ou explorado as associações entre a causa (ou as causas) e os eventos que levaram ao suicídio do ator Robin Williams. Descrição do caso: Robin Williams vinha sofrendo com problemas de relacionamento, problemas financeiros, abuso de drogas e depressão severa. Todos esses fatores levaram ao seu suicídio. Comentários: As chances de cometer suicídio aumentam drasticamente na presença de qualquer fator de risco chaves. Infelizmente, o ator Robin Williams estava exposto a quatro fatores de risco chaves simultaneamente, colocando-o sob um alto risco de cometer suicídio, o que eventualmente culminou com sua trágica morte.

Sorria, você está sendo filmado: subjetividade e câmera na pesquisa psicológica / Smile, you are on camera: Subjectivity and Camera in Psychological Research

O presente artigo é uma problematização teórica do método de videografia na pesquisa em psicologia. Nosso referencial teórico e prático é a psicologia analítica desenvolvida pelo médico psiquiatra e psicólogo Carl Gustav Jung (1875-1961), por sua teoria dos complexos, em especial o conceito de persona e sua concepção energética do símbolo. Sem questionar a objetividade do registro em video, focamos nosso argumento na subjetividade do registrado. Para expor nosso ponto de vista, analisamos o simbolismo da câmera na história do cinema e sua significação no cenário contemporâneo. A partir do conceito de espetáculo desenvolvido por Guy Debord (1931-1994), argumentamos que a onipresença da câmera neste início de século XXI traz implicações importantes para seu uso na pesquisa psicológica. Contrapondo o regime de espetáculo integrado dos anos 1990, propomos a noção de espetáculo desintegrado para pensar as primeiras décadas do século XXI.(AU)

This article aims to discuss the videography method from a psychological point of view. Our theoretical and practical reference is the analytical psychology developed by the psychiatrist and psychologist Carl Gustav Jung (1875-1961), focusing on the concept of persona and symbol. Without questioning the objectivity of the video, we center our argument on the subjectivity of the person being filmed. To expose this point of view, this paper focuses on camera symbolism in Cinema history and its significance is analyzed in the contemporary scene. Based on the spectacle concept developed by Guy Debord (1931-1994), this paper argues that the camera’s omnipresence at the beginning of the XXI century had important implications for its use in psychological research. Opposing the integrated spectacle regime of the 1990s, the idea of a non-integrated spectacle is proposed to reflect about the first decades of the twenty-first century.(AU)
