Strike, occupy, transform! Students, subjectivity and struggle

This article uses student activism to explore the way in which activists are challenging the student as consumer model through a series of experiments that blend pedagogy and protest. Specifically, I suggest that Higher Education is increasingly becoming an arena of the postpolitical, and I argue that one of the ways this student-consumer subjectivity is being (re)produced is through a series of ‘depoliticisation machines’ operating within the university. This article goes on to claim that in order to counter this, some of those resisting the neoliberalisation of higher education have been creating political-pedagogical experiments that act as ‘repoliticisation machines’, and that these experiments countered student-consumer subjectification through the creation of new radical forms of subjectivity. This paper provides an example of this activity through the work of a group called the Really Open University and its experiments at blending, protest, pedagogy and propaganda

A cartography of the possible: reflections on militant ethnography in and against the edu-factory

This paper examines militant research through the lens of several challenges the author faced when experimenting with it as part of their PhD research. It engages with ongoing debates about the role and complexity of militant methodologies within-against-beyond the university. Specifically it suggests that the political economy of the academy is a challenge to militant research through the growing influence of the law of value within increasingly marketised academic contexts. This paper argues that the academic-recuperation-machine has the potential to assimilate what it terms the ‘minor knowledge’ created through militant research within its circuits of institutionalisation and commodification, becoming just another output or tool in the toolbox. Relatedly it suggests these challenges do not simply require a reflection on positionality vis-à-vis academia/activism, but a collective struggle around academic labour in-against-beyond the university and how militant researcher might remain ‘in but not of’ the neoliberal university

The role of the Zairian Health Services in the Rwandan refugee crisis.

In July 1994, a stream of Rwandan refugees entered the southern part of North Kivu Region, Zaire. The public health consequences of this crisis for the host population and health services have not been analysed up to now. The lack of human and financial resources did not prevent Zairian health structures and personnel from taking care of the many refugees settled outside the camps, following their arrival. The public health consequences of the crisis for the local population should be considered an integral part of the disaster

Arteriovenous Malformation Associated with Multiple Aneurysms in the Posterior Fossa: A Case Report with a Review of the Literature

Abstract The association of two aneurysms on the distal posteroinferior cerebellar artery with an arteriovenous malformation fed by the same artery is reported. A one-stage operation was performed. The other cases in the literature are analyzed with particular regard to the origin of the subarachnoid hemorrhage and the location of the aneurysms.</jats:p

Traumatic Aneurysm of the Anterior Cerebral Artery Associated with a Contralateral Carotid-Cavernous Fistula: A Case Report

Abstract An unusual case of traumatic aneurysm of the A-1 part of the anterior cerebral artery associated with a contralateral carotid-cavernous fistula is presented. Trapping of the fistula was carried out, and an attempt to repair the vessel wall was made. Thrombosis of the vessel occurred, but remained asymptomatic. Causes, physiopathology, and treatment of traumatic aneurysms are discussed.</jats:p

Les métastases de méningiomes. A propos de deux cas.

Two cases of meningiomas with metastasis are presented. The first case is typically a fibroblastic meningioma. After a local recurrence, dissemination occurs in the CSF with multiples localizations. The second case is a parasagittal meningioma of meningotheliomatous type. After two recurrences, a lymph node metastasis is discovered. Three modes of dissemination are known: through the blood vessels, the lymphatics or the CSF. The different spreads and mechanisms are discussed

Meningioma associated with subdural haematoma: report of two cases and review of the literature.

Subdural haematoma (SDH) caused by meningioma is infrequent. 18 cases are described in the literature. We report 2 new cases. Intratumoural bleeding is a frequent feature of this uncommon association
