Après avoir présenté la problématique de l’accès à l’information en matière de santé pour quelques groupes vulnérables, nous exposons la conceptualisation de cette notion. Celle-ci nous amène à approfondir la compréhensibilité de l’information, à travers la modélisation et l’explicitation des liens entre ce concept et certains domaines de la linguistique. Une mise en situation illustre concrètement le modèle proposé.

The end of the Cold War has introduced important transformations including the practice of humanitarian aid that adjusted to the new world order. The general tendencies of the ‘contemporary humanitarianism’ are well discussed in the scientific literature. Since 1959, Cuba has developed its internationalism policy and has created a post-disaster brigade relief in the late 1990s. However, the subject has been little studied. The objective of this article is to analyze the Cuban humanitarian practices, values and framework in comparison with the contemporary tendency that appears since the end of the Cold War. Based on interviews led with Cuban cooperantes and a review of scientific literature, the study proposes that the Cuban post-relief internationalism is profoundly linked with the particular context in which it was created, but it is also functioning in a specific way in practice.

The Canadian Anthropology Society is working to address sexualharassment and violence at institutional and community-based settings whereanthropologists undertake their work. In 2021, the newly formed SexualHarassment and Violence Working Group held a roundtable at the CASCAconference to start a conversation about sexual violence among CASCAmembers and to workshop best practices to prevent, disrupt, and respondto incidents of sexual harassment and violence that CASCA members mayexperience or observe. Here, the Working Group summarizes the process ofplanning, implementing, and following up the roundtable, focusing on specificactions taken by the organizers to ensure a safe conversational space before,during, and after the event. We demonstrate how the roundtable aligns withinthe larger framework of CASCA’s institutional history and future. The goalof this report is to provide a framework for convening difficult conversationsin professional settings, especially in an online environment. We providerecommendations to this end, and emphasize the need to hold furtherconversations to combat the air of silence that remains, even in a post-#MeTooworld, surrounding sexual violence in anthropology.
