The main goal of this paper is to criticize Wittgenstein's reading of Freudian psychoanalysis. According to Wittgenstein, the very notion of 'unconscious' can only make sense considered from a grammatical standpoint. The unconscious is not an empirical feature of our mind but a kind of language game. On the basis of a thorough study of Freud's book on Moses, this paper argues that psychoanalysis relies on a legitimate alternative to Wittgenstein's conception of mind and culture. For psychoanalysis, mind and culture would need to be understood as essentially diachronic, rather than as language games. Keywords: Wittgenstein, Freud, History, Unconscious, Narrative, Grammar, The Historical Speculations in Psychoanalysis: Mystification or Grammatical Clarification? Le grief majeur adressé par Wittgenstein à la psychanalyse est bien connu. Quoique Freud prétende offrir une explication rigoureuse et scientifique [...]

Le Quebec a, depuis les annees 1990, amorce un virage ambulatoire dans la prestation des services de sante et sociaux. En reponse a certains problemes de coordination existants entre les acteurs interprofessionnels et interetablissements engendres par ce modele ambulatoire, que nous qualifions de domicilocentrique, le ministere de la Sante et des Services sociaux a implante une vaste reforme d'integration des services. Celle-ci favorisait l 'implantation de dispositifs de coordination, dont celui professionnel de la gestion de cas. Dans cet article, nous analysons comment la gestion de cas, dans le contexte des reseaux de services integres pour personnes agees en perte d'autonomie, participe aux politiques domicilocentriques. Pour faire ceci, nous avons realise une etude qualitative et exploratoire utilisant un devis de recherche de type etude de cas unique imbriquee. Pour chacun des trois centres de sante et de services sociaux que nous avons etudies, nous avons employe trois methodes de collecte de donnees: une analyse documentaire, une analyse thematique d'entretiens d'explicitation, et, de l'observation directe des pratiques des gestionnaires de cas. Nous constatons que la coordination avec les hopitaux demeure au centre des activites des gestionnaires de cas, detournant en partie leur fonction de soutien a domicile vers les besoins des hopitaux, ou la liberation rapide des lits de courte duree est encore consideree comme une priorite. Since the 1990s, the government of Quebec has undertaken a shift called virage ambulatoire (ambulatory care) in its delivery of health care and social care services. In response to a number of coordination related problems between interprofessional and interinstitutional actors engendered by the implementation of this ambulatory, or home- centric model, Quebec's Ministry of Health and Social Services decided to implement a major reform pertaining to services integration. This involved the creation of different coordination devices, including the professional device of case management. This article analyses how case management, in the specific context of integrated care networks for frail elderly individuals, contributes to home-centric governmental policies. We conducted a qualitative exploratory study using an embedded case study design. In each of the three Health and Social Services Centres covered by our study, we used three data collection methods: a documentary analysis, face-to-face interviews, and direct observation of case mangers practices. We note that coordination with hospitals remains at the center of case managers' activities, diverting in part their function regarding home care towards hospitals' needs, where rapid discharge planning of short-term care beds is still viewed as a priority., Problematique A l'instar d'autres pays, le Quebec a mise depuis le milieu des annees 1990 sur l'adoption d'un modele ambulatoire de services de sante et de services sociaux, que nous [...]

This paper adresses a commonplace way of articulating language and consciousness together. It expands on the difficulties raised by such a stance, by drawing its concepts and arguments from Jean Piaget's psychogenesis. Especially, it displays the issues illuminated by Piaget about language acquisition. Keywords: Language (language acquisition), consciousness, psychology, philosophy, childhood, The Language-Conscience Correlation in the Light of Psychogenesis: The Acquisistion of Language in Jean Piaget La corrélation langage-conscience et son paradigme D'ordinaire, les rapports entre langage et conscience sont jugés [...]

The dramatic play sets a challenge to Husserl's theory of imagination and its connection to perceptive experience. What takes place on stage in front of the audience is both the effective reality and the happening of a fictional story. In this paper, we are interested in the extension of the phenomenology of experience to a world of mere fictions. By analyzing a few chosen texts from the volume XXIII of Husserliana, we shall put the eidetics of imagination to the test of the dramatic experience of the audience and raise the problem of the actor's play and its paradox. Keywords: Husserl, imagination, experience, theatre, phenomenology, The Perceptive Phantasia in Husserl and the Theater Experience. Elements for a Phenomenology of the Audience s'and the Actor s'Acts of Consciousness Le jeu théâtral met au défi la théorie [...]
