An email dated 28.8.19 from Professor Monica Green to those those already on the list:
Dear MEDMED-L Colleagues,
We’ve had a lot of new subscribers come onto the list recently, and several more people who (I’m happy to say) are moving on to new pastures but choosing to keep their MEDMED-L memberships active.
Over the years, we have regularly had subscribers make inquiries on the behalf of colleagues who are not list-members. That is entirely okay, and it is wonderful that we can share the collective expertise of the list. However, I would like to remind people of two “best practices” to keep in mind when inquiring on behalf of others:
- Always encourage them to join the list. There are a variety of reasons people might not want to: they really only have one medicine/health-related question; they’re overwhelmed already with too much e-mail, etc. But do at least give them the option. This is a private list and I do not advertise its existence publicly. So word-of-mouth is the main way we let people know that this community exists. The link for signing on is included at the bottom of every message going out on the list: https://lists.asu.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A0=MEDMED-L. (This is also the link where you, as a list-member, can access the Archives.)
- If your colleague chooses not to join the list, please make clear to them that although copyright is not being formally claimed on postings to the list, scholarly courtesy would ask that any posting’s author be contacted for consent to use their contributions in another context. Also, it would be courteous to acknowledge the source of information.
Since I have you, just a reminder that the one hard and fast rule of MEDMED-L is that no attachments should be over 5 MB in size. Many people have fixed limits on the size of incoming mail, and over-sized attachments automatically cause havoc. Positively, a reminder that postings can be in any language that you want.
Finally, please remember that this list’s great value is in sharing information. Opinion is fine, too, but it should always be accompanied by links to resources for further information.
3. Appel à candidatures
8e Prix de la Maison des Cultures du Monde
Depuis sa création en 1982, la Maison des Cultures du Monde s’est fixé comme objectif de faire connaître et reconnaître des expressions remarquables de la diversité culturelle à travers le monde. Il s’agit en particulier de formes spectaculaires (théâtre, marionnettes, performance à caractère rituel ou symbolique) et d’expressions musicales et/ou dansées qui sont peu connues du public français, ou peu documentées, ou présentées par des artistes ou praticien·nes méconnu·es en France. La Maison des Cultures du Monde a acquis et développé dans ce domaine une expertise et un savoir-faire qu’elle souhaite partager avec les nouvelles générations de chercheur·ses.
À l’occasion du trentième anniversaire de sa fondation, la Maison des Cultures du Monde a créé en 2012 un prix destiné à permettre à un·e étudiant·e ou jeune chercheur·se la réalisation d’un projet d’étude et de valorisation d’une forme théâtrale, chorégraphique et/ou musicale correspondant à cette orientation artistique. Ce prix permet au/à la lauréat·e de compléter son projet de recherche en lui offrant la possibilité de faire venir en France dans le cadre du Festival de l’Imaginaire des artistes et/ou praticien·nes de la forme esthétique qu’il/elle étudie.
Conditions de participation
Peut concourir au Prix de la Maison des Cultures du Monde tout étudiant·e âgé·e de moins de trente-cinq ans inscrit·e dans une université française (niveau master II minimum), ou étrangère et résidant en France, qui dans le cadre de ses recherches s’intéresse à des formes spectaculaires et/ou musicales n’ayant jamais été présentées en France, ou l’ayant été dans une interprétation différente de celle qui fait l’objet de son attention.
Calendrier
Les dossiers de candidature doivent être envoyés au plus tard le 30 septembre 2019 à minuit. Tou·tes les participant·es seront informés du résultats dans le courant du mois d’octobre 2019. Les artistes ou praticien·nes seront invité·es à la 25e édition du Festival de l’Imaginaire en 2021.
Les dossiers sont à envoyer par voie électronique à : documentation@maisondesculturesdumonde.org<mailto:documentation@maisondesculturesdumonde.org>
