Associate editor:GregoryWray Abstract Aging is a complex process affecting different species and individuals in different ways. Comparing genetic variation across species with their aging phenotypes will help understanding the molecular basis of aging and longevity. Although most studies on aging have so far focused on short-lived model organisms, recent comparisons of geno- mic, transcriptomic, and metabolomic data across lineages with different lifespans are unveiling molecular signatures associated with longevity.

  • Feeding France's Outcasts: Rationing in Vichy's Internment Camps, 1940
    Feeding France’s Outcasts: Rationing and Hunger in Vichy’s Internment Camps, 1940-1944 by Laurie Drake A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Toronto © Copyright by Laurie Drake November 2020 Feeding France’s Outcasts: Rationing in Vichy’s Internment Camps, 1940-1944 Laurie Drake Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Toronto November 2020 Abstract During the Second World War, Vichy interned thousands of individuals in internment camps. Although mortality remained relatively low, morbidity rates soared, and hunger raged throughout. How should we assess Vichy’s role and complicity in the hunger crisis that occurred? Were caloric deficiencies the outcome of a calculated strategy, willful neglect, or an unexpected consequence of administrative detention and wartime penury? In this dissertation, I argue that the hunger endured by the thousands of internees inside Vichy’s camps was not the result of an intentional policy, but rather a reflection of Vichy’s fragility as a newly formed state and government. Unlike the Nazis, French policy-makers never created separate ration categories for their inmates. Ultimately, food shortage resulted from the general paucity of goods arising from wartime occupation, dislocation, and the disruption of traditional food routes. Although these problems affected all of France, the situation was magnified in the camps for two primary reasons. First, the camps were located in small, isolated towns typically ii not associated with large-scale agricultural production. Second, although policy-makers attempted to implement solutions, the government proved unwilling to grapple with the magnitude of the problem it faced and challenge the logic of confinement, which deprived people of their autonomy, including the right to procure their own food.

  • The Routes to Exile: France and the Spanish Civil War Refugees, 1939
    The routes to exile Edited by Mark Greengrass and Pamela Pilbeam This series is published in collaboration with the UK Society for the Study of French History. It aims to showcase innovative short monographs relating to the history of the French, in France and in the world since c.1750. Each volume speaks to a theme in the history of France with broader resonances to other discourses about the past. Authors demonstrate how the sources and interpretations of modern French history are being opened to historical investigation in new and interesting ways, and how unfamiliar subjects have the capacity to tell us more about the role of France within the European continent. The series is particularly open to interdisciplinary studies that break down the traditional boundaries and conventional disciplinary divisions.

    L’HOPITAL DE LA SANTA CREU I DE SANT PAU À BARCELONA. PASSÉ, PRÉSENT ET FUTUR. Esther Balasch, Historienne de l’Art & Montserrat Caldés, Hôpital de la Santa Creu i de Sant Pau, Barcelona Lluís Domènech i Montaner Lluís Domènech i Montaner (1849-1923) est l’architecte des deux grands centres hospitaliers du modernisme (ou Art nouveau) catalan dont nous allons traiter au cours de cette conférence. Diplômé en sciences exactes, physiques et naturelles, il obtint en 1973 son titre d’architecte et se consacra à cette profession, ainsi qu’à l’enseignement à l’École d’Architecture, pendant 45 ans. Activiste politique, historien de l’art et homme de son temps, ses connaissances et études en minéralogie, zoologie et botanique sont déterminantes pour comprendre, en partie, l’ornementation de l’ensemble monumental de l’Hôpital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau , qui constitue le complexe hospitalier le plus grand conçu en langage moderniste, avec l’Institut Pere Mata de Reus. Ce dernier, créé antérieurement par le même architecte, en 1897, sera le prédécesseur du futur HSCSP de Barcelone avec des réminiscences d’autres oeuvres de caractère civile, telles que le Palau de la Música Catalana de Barcelone. Institut Pere Mata de Reus L’Institut Pere Mata de Reus (Tarragone), dont le fondateur est le Dr. Emili Briansó Planas (1861-1922), occupe un terrain de 20 hectares et il est exclusivement réservé aux maladies mentales. À travers ce nouvel ensemble hospitalier, le Dr. Briansó Planas visait à réformer l’Hôpital psychiatrique de la province de Tarragone dans le but d’offrir une assistance adéquate aux personnes souffrant de maladies mentales diverses.
