Book: Profession du Père by Sorj Chalandon
Plot: Narrator Emile goes back to his distorted childhood, the France of De Gaulle and the strings of rebellion in Algeria in 1961. As a young boy, Emile craved his father’s approval believing his lies and his fantasies but also fearing his unpredictable violence. He doesn’t not even know his father’s profession : pastor, pilot, secret agent, judo expert and singer to name a few. As Emile grows older, does he really believe that his father is serious in involving him in a plot to assassinate de Gaulle?

The Language of Levinas : To be or not to be
2020-12-04 17:30 - 19:30
For free registration, program and access to the link please RSVP by December 3 at vflambar@lmu.edu
Public Roundtable organized with Loyola Marymount University (LMU), and the support of
the Bellarmine College of Liberal Arts (BCLA), the Departments of Modern Languages &
Literatures, and Philosophy, and the Bioethics Institute.
Yves Vendé, Ph.D., Instructor of Philosophy, BCLA, LMU : « Levinas and Translation : Is it to Enter into a Process of Variations of Oneself and the Other? »
During the writing of Totality and Infinity, Levinas seems to have had great doubts about his expression. Indeed, linguistic hesitations can be perceived throughout the work. The preface thus underlines the
importance of saying and de-saying. Then, the syntactic difficulties related to the use of the verb “to be”, the variations in typography and punctuation, and the grammatical approximations show how Levinas
struggles with language. When Levinas quotes Rimbaud in the introduction and conclusion of the book, “Real life is absent”, the difficulty of talking about the relationship with the other, the movement by which
one goes out of oneself, appears. The text of Totality and Infinity thus marks stages in an effort of formulation. Language is not considered as preaching, but as performativity. This observation is redoubled when translating Levinas. Indeed, for a translator, giving an account of a philosophical gesture implies entering into a dynamic of transformation. It is not just a question of transmitting a message, but of being able to respond to a choice of translations. In other words, to translate Levinas is to enter into aprocess of variations of oneself and of the other.
Roberto Dell’Oro, Ph.D., Professor of Theological Studies and Director of Bioethics Institute,
BCLA, LMU : « Thinking about the Person with Levinas : Provocations in the Field of Bioethics. »
Bioethicists love provocative questions. A recent one, “can a robot be a person ?”, points to a doubt, a puzzlement about the nature of personhood with respect to its attributions. To be able to adequately
address the question entails reconstructing the entire trajectory of modernity, so as to make sense of the intellectual paradigm that brought about the tremendous advances of science and technology. The issues raised by robotics and artificial intelligence find their cultural location within the space defined by such trajectory. The question “what does it mean to be a person ?” will be addressed through a brief
historical reconstruction, locating the current status question is in Descartes’ dualism and his twin, if opposite, offspring, i.e., Hume and Kant. In a more systematic approach and taking the lead from
Levinas (and others close to him), a non-dualist version of personalism, by articulating a notion of person as “incarnate singularity, coming to itself, in openness to the other” will be explored.

Moderated by Véronique Flambard-Weisbart, Ph.D., Professor of French, Department of Modern
Languages and Literatures, BCLA, LMU and Christian Grusq, AILS President.

Amandine Gamble, Département d’écologie et de biologie évolutive à UCLA : Comprendre et contrôler les pandémies zoonotiques en intégrant écologie, virologie et mathématiques
Maurice Lévy : Ce qu’il faut savoir sur la COVID19 : symptômes et signes cliniques de la maladie, traitement, épidémiologie, prévention
Lina Nih, UCLA : Les effets de la COVID-19 sur le cerveau

Présentations des intervenants :
Amandine Gamble, PhD. UCLA Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology – The Lloyd Smith Lab
Amandine Gamble se présente comme une écologue des maladies qui s’intéresse aux facteurs insoupçonnés des dynamiques épidémiologiques. L’épidémiologie, cette science qui a connu un regain de publicité en cette année de pandémie de la COVID-19 à travers le monde, est selon Mac Mahon “l’étude de la distribution et des déterminants d’une maladie dans des populations humaines [et animales], et application des résultats de cette étude dans la lutte contre cette maladie”.
Intéressée par les processus qui sous-tendent la circulation des zoonoses (maladies ou infections qui se transmettent des animaux vertébrés à l’homme, et vice versa), Amandine Gamble a démarré son parcours à l’Ecole Nationale Vétérinaire d’Alfort, suivi d’un Master d’écophysiologie et de comportement animal à l’Université de Strasbourg en France. Puis, au cours de son doctorat à l’Université de Montpellier au sein du Centre d’Ecologie Fonctionnelle et Evolutive, elle a exploré comment les données sérologiques peuvent être utilisées pour comprendre les processus sous-jacents à la circulation des agents infectieux et leurs effets sur les hôtes dans les populations sauvages, en particulier les oiseaux marins. Aujourd’hui en post-doctorat au sein de l’équipe du Pr Lloyd Smith Lab à UCLA, ses recherches visent à concevoir des méthodes quantitatives pour intégrer les données épidémiologiques collectées sur le terrain et en laboratoire, aux échelles moléculaires comme à l’échelle des communautés, dans le but de développer des connaissances biologiques de la dynamique épidémiologique des agents infectieux pathogènes. Elle étudie principalement les virus zoonotiques émergents dans les populations de chauve-souris.

Ce champ de recherche est d’une importance accrue dans le contexte de l’émergence du virus SARS-CoV-2, causant la maladie de la COVID-19, dont la compréhension de l’origine et du processus de sa dissémination est essentielle pour déployer des mesures qui permettraient d’éviter à l’avenir des pandémies mondiales telles que nous le vivons aujourd’hui. Par ailleurs, aux Etats-Unis comme en France, nombreux sont les scientifiques soulignant les liens complexes entre la pression anthropique exercée sur les écosystèmes et l’émergence de nouvelles maladies infectieuses, notamment des zoonoses.
Amandine Gamble nous partagera de façon accessible le thème de ses recherches et apportera un éclairage sur sa participation aux efforts de la recherche sur la COVID-19.

Dr. Maurice Levy, PhD. Médecin généraliste à Los Angeles
Diplômé de la Faculté de Médecine de Paris en janvier 1974 après avoir présenté une thèse sur la nutrition et les effets biologiques d’un régime alimentaire auprès du Pr. Bour, le Dr. Levy a exercé la médecine générale en région parisienne pendant neuf ans puis a rejoint la Californie en 1983. Les équivalences de diplôme en poche, il exerce depuis 1985 la médecine générale à Los Angeles et est le médecin attaché auprès du Consulat de France à Los Angeles, assurant en particulier les soins des Anciens Combattants. Il a également passé en 2000 le premier certificat de médecine anti-âge de la Faculté de médecine de Harvard, orienté sur la médecine préventive. Enfin, le Dr. Levy a été pendant plusieurs années le médecin attaché à Air France.
Installé à Beverly Hills, il s’occupe d’une partie des 30 000 membres de la communauté française et reçoit en cette période jusqu’à 20 consultations par jour lié au à la COVID-19. Il interviendra sur l’influence et les aspects pratiques de la COVID-19 dans le cadre de la médecine générale et abordera les questions de symptômes et signes cliniques de la maladie, le traitement, l’épidémiologie et la prévention.

Dr. Lina Nih, PhD. UCLA Neurology Department et Institut Lundquist
Dr. Lina Nih est chercheuse à l’Institut Lundquist d’Innovations biomédicales et Assistant Professeur en Neurologie au Département de Médicine à UCLA. Son laboratoire de recherche développe des traitements innovants d’ingénierie tissulaire et de transplantation de cellules souches afin d’accélérer la guérison des lésions cérébrales après AVC (accident vasculaire cérébral). Après l’obtention d’un Master en Physiologie Cardiovasculaire à l’Université Paris Descartes, elle poursuivit son parcours académique avec un doctorat en Neuroscience afin d’étudier les mécanismes de réparation du tissu cérébral et développer une thérapie cellulaire unique basée sur la re-vascularisation du tissu endommagé afin de promouvoir sa régénération. Suite à l’obtention de sa thèse, elle rejoint les Départements de Neurologie et d’Ingénierie Chimique et Biomoléculaire à UCLA afin de développer des biomatériaux compatibles avec le cerveau humain qui puissent être injectés directement dans le site de lésion afin d’activer les mécanismes innés de réparation cérébrale. Sa recherche à aboutit à de nombreuses découvertes et innovations scientifiques et technologiques qui ont fait avancer la recherche sur la physiologie du cerveau et le traitement contre l’AVC.

COVID-19 est une maladie infectieuse prioritairement classée comme étant pulmonaire et circulatoire. Cependant de nombreuses études et observations cliniques convergent vers l’existence d’effets neurologiques sévères due à la présence du virus et à son effet sur le système inflammatoire. Paranoïa, confusion, amnésie, AVC, encéphalites, font partie des symptômes observés chez les patients COVID présentant des troubles respiratoires faibles. Les causes de ces manifestations neurologiques restent flous et nécessitent des recherches plus approfondies afin d’améliorer la prise en charge des patients COVID. Dr. Nih nous présentera de façon vulgarisée les observations cliniques et principes généraux liant COVID-19 aux symptômes neurologiques.
