“…Physical and psychological stressors in the weeks prior to TGA may also precipitate an attack. Although such events are rarely reported (less than 10% of case reports), they include (frequency in parenthesis): a trip for business or pleasure (17), a death or illness in the family (10), the end-of-year holiday season (10), hosting an upcoming party (5), impending or completed surgery (4), stress at work (4), severe depression (2), pregnancy (1), and financial difficulties (1). Laurent, Trillet, and Croisile (1990) discovered that a third to half of their patients had a profile of "psychological pressure" preceding the attack, and about a third of the patients in other studies were under considerable stress prior to TGA (Miller, Petersen, Metter, et aI., 1987; see also Guyotat & Courjan, 1956, cited in Laurent et aI., 1990.…”

“…More specific memory tests involving such things as simple analogies, proverb interpretation, or object naming also reveal preserved performance. 12 All patients provided their home address (17) or birth date (10) correctly, although 7 of the latter 10 underestimated their age. Remembering personally relevant numbers (social security, safe combination, telephone) is also problematic, with only 7 of 15 patients answering such queries correctly.…”

Transient global amnesia (TGA) is a memory dysfunction characterized by a sudden onset of dense anterograde amnesia (AA)that gradually resolves across several hours. TGAis typically accompanied by repeated questions (concerning present circumstances) with retrograde amnesia for events preceding the attack, and it usually strikes individuals in their late 50s and early 60s. The etiology of TGA remains unclear, although it probably reflects a temporary disruption of the blood supply to the temporallobe. The physical and psychological events preceding the attack are diverse, but they often include acute emotional and physical stressors. TGA appears to be benign, with low risk for recurrence or residual complications. While systematic memory research on TGApatients is rare, these individuals present a unique opportunity to study amnestic behaviors in otherwise normal individuals. A guide to conducting future research is provided. 401Over the last 4 decades, a considerable literature has accumulated concerning transient global amnesia (TGA). Originally described by Hague (1954; see Haas, 1983), the term TGA was coined by Fisher and Adams (1958) to describe a reversible, short-term (several hour) inability to store and/or retrieve new information most commonly observed in older adults (50-70 years old). Its onset is sudden, and its resolution is gradual. A period of retrograde amnesia (RA) is usually observed, the duration of which is highly variable (hours to years) across individuals and shrinks during the recovery period. TGA victims often ask the same question(s) repeatedly and are generally confused regarding time, place, and circumstances. Despite the inability to retain new information, general intellectual function (reading, writing, speaking, calculation) and selfidentity are preserved, and obvious neurological abnormalities are absent. Oddly, most TGA victims experience only one episode in a lifetime. TGA appears to be unassociated with any obvious physical or psychological disease process or residual disability, contrasting with other memory maladies, such as Alzheimer's dementia, Korsakoff's disease, drug addiction, or hysterical fugue states (Markowitsch, 1995).The primary purpose ofthe present review is to acquaint behavioral researchers with a common malady that is relatively unknown among psychology professionals. Despite a large literature on TGA, the phenomenon is poorly understood, and no consensus has emerged on its psychological or physiological cause. The present literature summary will hopefully allow cognitive, clinical, and healthThe author wishes to extend special thanks to Billie Stovall in the Interlibrary Loan Office of Southern Methodist University for her herculean efforts in procuring hundreds of articles from medical journals at other universities.

“…Cependant les modalités de la division du travail dans ces modes de production rationalisés ont été peu souvent prises comme objet d'analyse, aux États-Unis comme en France. Les premiers travaux américains sur le sujet se centrent davantage sur la figure du producteur (Cantor, 1971 ;Newcomb, Alley, 1983), ou sur les carrières des scénaristes dans ces organisations par projet (Bielby, Bielby, 1996). En France, ce sont également les professions de scénaristes (Pasquier, 1995) et de producteurs qui ont été davantage étudiées (Dagnaud, 2006 ;Brigaud-Robert, 2011).…”

Le processus collectif de création d'un feuilleton télévisé Une division du travail d'auteurs La production d'un feuilleton télévisé repose sur une organisation du travail fortement rationalisée et divisée. Le processus collectif de création est source de tensions autour des mandats des différents intervenants. Le caractère industriel de la création questionne la place des auteurs et renverse une partie des hiérarchies professionnelles existant dans le monde audiovisuel. Cet article examine les formes de coopération et de concurrence créées par cette division du travail entre les différents intervenants du processus de production. La chaîne de fabrication morcelle le travail d'écriture, et rationalise la division du travail pour produire un flux d'épisodes. Cette division redéfinit les rôles des scénaristes et leurs spécialités. Cependant malgré l'importance des contraintes pesant sur les auteurs, l'industrialisation de la fabrication leur donne aussi un pouvoir important sur le contenu des épisodes. The Production of Fiction as an Assembly-line. Division of Labor in the Making of a Daytime Soap Opera The production of a television series is based on a deeply rationalized and divided organization of labor. The collective process of creation reveals dissensions concerning the mandates of the various workers. The industrialized manufacturing of TV fiction questions who holds the authorship on the product and thus professional hierarchies in this art world. This article shows the contradictions among the cooperating partners, each of them following rival professional logics, and trying to reinterpret and make theirs the production constraints in their creative work. The rationalization of the production leads to conflict of jurisdictions between the various professionals involved, especially the scriptwriters specialized in the storylines and the ones writing the dialogues, and also between the writers and the people responsible of the shooting.
