Growing up in Latin America contributes to the growing body of scholarship on the representation of children and minors in contemporary Latin American literature and film. This volume looks closely at the question of agency and the role of minors as active participants in the complex historical processes of the Latin American continent during the 20th and 21st centuries, both as national citizens and as transnational migrants. Questions of gender, migration, violence, post-coloniality, and precarity are central to the analysis of childhood and youth narratives in this collection of essays.

Este libro delinea el papel del nino en el cine argentino de la post-dictadura. Interprets the allegorical role of the child character in Argentine cinema of the post-dictatorship era. Este libro constituye la primera monografia dedicada al papel del nino en el cine latinoamericano. El analisis detallado de una decena de peliculas argentinas de la post-dictadura dirigidas entre 1983 y 2008, incluyendo tanto clasicas (La historia oficial, Un lugar en el mundo) como olvidadas (Amigomio, El rigor del destino), revela como la mirada y el lenguaje del nino son puestos al servicio de una alegoria nostalgica, estructurada en tornoa la memoria o al lenguaje verbal y vinculada a la figura del padre ausente. Dufays combina los analisis filmicos con una amplia reflexion teorica sobre las cuatro nociones clave de alegoria, melancolia, nostalgia y duelo yrticula con una genealogia de la figura alegorica del nino en las tradiciones narrativas latinoamericanas. Este recorrido permite al lector explorar las significaciones simbolicas y discursivas que el personaje infantil, la infancia y la familia han adquirido en el cine y en el contexto postdictatorial argentino. Sophie Dufays es investigadora postdoctoral del Fondo Nacional de Investigacion Cientifica de Belgica, en la Universidad de Louvain-la-Neuve. This book is the first monograph devoted to the role of the child in Latin American cinema. Through close analysis of about ten Argentine fiction films of the post-dictatorship period directed between 1983 and 2008, including both classic such as The Official Story and A Place in the World) and forgotten works such as Amigomio and El rigor del destino. Dufays shows how the child's gaze and language are a meansof focusing a nostalgic form of allegory, structured around either memory or verbal language, and related to the figure of the absent father. In combining these analyses with a wide theoretical articulation of four key notions (allegory, melancholy, mourning and nostalgia) and with a genealogy of the allegorical child character in Latin American narrative traditions, Relatos de infancia allows the reader to explore the meanings that childhood and family have come to acquire in cinema, particularly in the Argentine post-dictatorial context. Sophie Dufays is a FNRS Postdoctoral Researcher (Belgian National Fund for Scientific Research) at the University of Louvain-la-Neuve.

L'abces du foie a pyogene est une pathologie rare et potentiellement mortelle, dont la prise en charge fait appel en premiere intention aux traitements percutanes. Les indications du traitement chirurgical ne sont pas etablies. Nous avons etudie retrospectivement une serie unicentrique de 103 patients presentant un abces hepatique a pyogene sur 18 ans. La mortalite globale est de 8,7%. Les facteurs de mauvais pronostic sont un score ASA eleve, la nature neoplasique de l'etiologie de l'abces, et la presence d'un epanchement pleural. En analyse univariee, les patients operes etaient significativement en surpoids par rapport a ceux traites medicalement . Le choc septique et le caractere gazeux de l'abces etaient des facteurs predictifs d'echec du traitement medical . En dehors des abces rompus, la chirurgie garde des indications en premiere intention chez certains patients, en cas de choc septique, de surpoids, ou sur un terrain fragile. Les caracteristiques de l'abces doivent egalement etre prises en compte dans la decision therapeutique, notamment la presence de gaz. Un abord multidisciplinaire de cette pathologie est necessaire, ses differents traitements etant complementaires."
