Edward Henry Potthast - "TheShade", ca. 1920
Ira Spanierman discusses Cincinnati-born artist Edward Henry Potthast (1857-1927) who moved to New York in the 1890s. The Shade, ca. 1920, is one of his most famous paintings by Potthast that depicts beachgoers enjoying themselves in the sun. Potthast was famous for his paintings of leisurely scenes at the beach, which he painted almost exclusively.

La médecine et la négation de la mort (video)
Didier Sicard évoque les différents aspects de la mort, comme la mort évacuée, celle des autres. La mort est absente du cursus universitaire, elle fait d'ailleurs fuir les étudiants. La mort est un tabou et l'hôpital est un lieu où la mort est escamotée. Les soins palliatifs qui sont en régression en 2005 posent aussi parfois le problème du respect de l'intimité du patient avec la mort.

Développement et évolution du système nerveux (audio)
Conférence du 24 janvier 2000 par Alain Prochiantz. On découvrit dans les années 1970, chez une mouche, la Drosophile, des mutations conduisant au remplacement de tout ou partie d'un organe par un autre organe. On observa, par exemple, des transformations de type antenne-patte, aile-balancier, ou aile-oeil. Ces mutations ont été dites homéotiques, l'organe d'un segment étant remplacé par l'organe homologue d'un autre segment. Les gènes homéotiques codent pour des facteurs de transc

Images de la mort dans la B.D. et la peinture (video)
A une époque où la mort est devenue une « valeur marchande » pour les médias et où l’intérêt pour le fait divers se fait toujours plus vif, Pierre Christin nous donne un aperçu de la représentation visuelle de la mort dans l’art pictural et photographique et dans la bande dessinée. Occultée parfois, crainte le plus souvent, la mort est un thème récurrent dans l’art et sa représentation évolue en même temps que les croyances et les sociétés.
