Manifestos and literary programs in French-Speaking sub-Saharian of Africa: About ‘invisibility’ of the corpus in literary criticism. Despite an abundant production, the corpus of literary manifestos and programmes from sub-Saharan Francophone Africa is relatively invisible in literary criticism. With the exception of a few studies, critical works devoted to the programmatic works of writers are rare. This article proposes some hypotheses that can explain why the body of literature of authors’ ideas in this space is generally ‘invisible’. The approach of the literary field, applied to the sociology of scientific production, makes it possible to highlight three main causes for this invisibility: the importance of identity and cultural discourse, which makes it impossible to delimit the geographical space of writers from sub-Saharan Francophone Africa, whose production and reception are dominated by that of their colleagues from the West Indies and the Caribbean; the omnipresence of political and social discourse which takes precedence over poetic reflection; the metalanguage of the manifesto due to the fact that writers are also generally literary critics.

SUMMARYIn sub-Saharan Africa, the bollworm complex, including Helicoverpa armigera, Diparopsis watersi and Earias spp., threatens the continued success of cotton production. Pyrethroid resistance in H. armigera led to serious crop losses while endosulfan, a suitable alternative to pyrethroids, was banned for cotton pest management. Five candidates with no cross-resistance to pyrethroids were evaluated in both on-station and on-farm trials from 2002 to 2006. Two applications were made at the early peak of H. armigera infestation in September, the period when pyrethroid use should be restricted for resistance management purposes. Results showed that, as expected, bollworm infestation consistently peaked from mid-September to mid-October. Spinosad, thiodicarb and emamectin-benzoate were the most suitable alternatives to reduce damage, regardless of the cotton bollworm species. Indoxacarb and lufenuron were less effective in controlling D. watersi. On-farm experiments confirmed the suitability of spinosad for control of pyrethroid-resistant H. armigera, particularly on late sown fields. These new chemistries offer control of bollworms which justify their relevance for pyrethroid resistance management in Cameroon and sub-Saharan Africa.

The Covid-19 is challenging our health systems and showing our limits. Clearly, the world was not prepared to this. Our society and life style need to be adjusted to protect ourselves from this pandemic. The new concept of social distancing has been introduced into our vocabulary and life styles. Considering that implementing social distancing into the Sub-Saharan setting proves to be difficult to educated people, it is understandable that this will be even more challenging for people with developmental disorders, mental retardation, autism or other rare disease. Based on the "Q&A on COVID-19 and Down Syndrome" (https://www.ndss.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/2020-COVID19-DS-QA-Abbreviated-03-27-FINAL.pdf), we have hold a discussion session with parents/association leaders from the sector of Autism/mental handicap in DRC and other experts from other French speaking parts of the world. Here we have made available the slides of this meeting. Video recording is available in the supplemental material. Le Covid-19 défie nos systèmes de santé et montre nos limites. De toute évidence, le monde n'était pas préparé à cela. Notre société et notre style de vie doivent être ajustés pour nous protéger de cette pandémie. Le nouveau concept de distanciation sociale a été introduit dans notre vocabulaire et nos styles de vie. Étant donné que la mise en œuvre de la distanciation sociale dans le contexte subsaharien s'avère difficile pour les personnes éduquées, il est compréhensible que cela soit encore plus difficile pour les personnes souffrant de troubles du développement, de retard mental, d'autisme ou d'autres maladies rares. Basé sur le "Q&A on COVID-19 and Down Syndrome" (https://www.ndss.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/2020-COVID19-DS-QA-Abbreviated-03-27-FINAL. pdf), nous avons organisé une session de discussion avec des parents / responsables d'associations du secteur de l'autisme / handicap mental en RDC et d'autres experts d'autres régions francophones du monde. Ici, nous avons mis à disposition les diapositives de cette réunion. L'enregistrement vidéo est disponible dans les materiels supplémentaires.

Cotton Pest

This autobiography documents the life and accomplishments of Li Liying. Born into a poor family in China, she eventually became director of Guangdong Entomological Institute. After graduating middle school (1949), she was admitted to the Agronomy Faculty at Beijing Agricultural University but was shortly after redirected by the Chinese Government to Timiryazev Agricultural Academy, Moscow, Russia. The last year of her study at Timiryazev Agricultural Academy was a pivotal experience. She had the opportunity to conduct fieldwork on cotton pest control and became aware of the harmful practice of aerially spraying highly toxic organophosphates with workers present. She decided to dedicate herself to finding safer alternatives and became a leader in the development of mass-rearing techniques for insects beneficial to agriculture. She traveled to laboratories in several foreign countries to foster collaboration and exchange of ideas among colleagues. She is recognized for her service to entomological societies, teaching at universities, and love of entomology.
