Mythic Imagination

This article comparatively examines French and English literature based on two novels published in 1947, Malcolm Lowry’s Under the Volcano and Jean-Louis Curtis’ The Forests of Night. Both novels employ the mythic device to construct narratives on the twilight of the British Empire and the German occupied French Vichy regime, respectively, depicting experiences of resistance and collaboration on the eve of and during the Second World War. Both invent a system of symbolic imagery modelled on the Surrealist template in Jean Cocteau’s The Infernal Machine, that turns the classical mythic device still prevalent in the early 20th century (i.e. in Joyce or Eliot) upside down. The revolution in Mythic Imagination follows the Structuralist Revolution initiated by Durkheim, Saussure and Bachelard, evacuating fixed ontological architecture to portray relational interdependency without essence. These novels pursue overlapping ethical investigations, on “non-interventionism” in Lowry and “fraternity” in Curtis. The novels raise questions about the relation between colonialism and fascism and the impact of non-Western mythic universes (i.e. Hinduism) upon the Mythic Imagination. They have implications for our understanding of gender relations, as well as the value of political activism and progress.

Welcome to our second issue for 2018.  In February we opened the year with the publication of Volume 9(1), a special issue dedicated to the top papers from the 6th Biennial National Association of Enabling Educators of Australia (NAEEA) Conference which was hosted by Southern Cross University at the Gold Coast, Australia in December 2017.   Shortly after this Conference, the Australian Government announced that undergraduate funding was to be capped at 2017 levels, effectively stopping the demand driven funding system for high education in Australia.  With that backdrop Volume 9(1) was a timely opportunity to consider the impact of disruption, and as perceptions of the value of higher education are challenged, to reiterate the value of supporting access and equity to higher education institutions.

The Impact

Abstract Beckett’s bilingual work brings to light a non-negotiable dimension inherent in language. The two versions of the ‘same’ literary work prove to be substantially different as regards the effect produced. Their musicality involves the impact of language on the subject, and is apparent in the specific qualities inherent in French and English. While the French reveals ‘weaker’ rhythms, and more fluid and allusive language, the English reinforces the substance of words. The two languages are thus not equivalent but maintain their radical difference in relation to each other.

Unique Relationship

From Translation to the Writing: On the Quebec Feminists, Anglo-Canadian Women Translators and the Translation ContinuumThe article presents the unique relationship between French- and English- -speaking translators in Canada, which has resulted in a great number of interesting translation phenomena. The author makes reference to the distinction between feminist translation and translation in the feminine, derived from literature in the feminine, both widely practiced in Quebec. One of the representatives of this trend was Suzanne de Lotbiniere-Harwood, mostly French-English translator, known for her translations of Nicole Brossard’s works. Her activity, as well as that of other translators, contributed to the spread of the idea of translation in the feminine among Canadian writers and theoreticians. What is more, their cooperation has resulted in the creation of the magazine Tessera and in the emergence of a range of phenomena on the borderline between translation and literature. This relationship is also a rare example of the impact of “minor literature”, which is the literature of Quebec, on the English-language Canadian literature.

Developmental Asymmetry

This article assesses the impact of bilingualism on the acquisition of pronominal direct objects in French and English (clitics in French and strong pronouns in English). We show that, in comparison to monolingual children, bilingual children omit more pronominal objects for a longer period in both languages. At the same time, the development in each language spoken by the bilinguals follows the developmental asymmetry found in the language of their monolingual counterparts: there are more omissions in French than in English. It is also shown that language dominance affects the rate of omissions as there are fewer omissions in the language in which children receive more exposure, i.e. the dominant language. We analyze these results as reflecting a bilingual effect based on the retention of a default null object representation. This in turn is supported by reduced overall input for bilingual children and by language-internal input ambiguity.

The Impact

Abstract Background In healthcare systems where hospital tariffs are based on average national length of stay (LOS), deprived patients may be a source of inefficiency for hospitals as deprivation has been shown to be associated with increased LOS. They may also negatively impact hospitals’ financial balance as few hospital payment methods include deprivation. Our objective was to study the impact of deprivation on hospital efficiency and financial balance. Methods A study was carried out using an exhaustive national hospital discharge database. All inpatient stays in mainland France between 2012 and 2014 by children over 28 days and under 18 in hospitals with a paediatric ward were included. Deprivation was estimated with an ecological deprivation index divided into national quintiles. Efficiency was assessed by variations in patients’ LOS compared to different mean national LOS (paediatric LOS, LOS of admissions for a similar condition...). Financial balance was assessed at the admission level through the ratio of production costs and revenues and at the hospital level with the difference between all revenues and production costs for said hospital. Multivariate models assessed the association between those indicators and deprivation. Results 4,124,510 inpatient stays were included. LOS was shorter than national means for less deprived patients and longer for the more deprived, and the difference was higher for diagnosis-related groups (DRGs) that included both adult and paediatric patients compared to paediatric-only DRGs. The multivariate model confirmed those significant associations. Deprivation also had a significant impact on hospitals’ financial balance, especially for hospitals with a percentage of paediatric patients in the two most deprived quintiles between 20% and 60%. Conclusions Measures to reform hospital payment methods must be encouraged to improve resource allocation efficiency and equity in access to good paediatric care. Key messages A reform of hospital funding to better account for deprivation is needed. A modulation of tariffs using an allocation key at the patient level must be considered to mitigate the effect of deprivation. DRGs specific to children should be encouraged to become the norm rather the exception to provide an adequate picture of resources used during admission and therefore an appropriate tariff.
