Les travaux de recherche de la Pr Anne Fagot-Largeault portent sur des thèmes d'histoire et de philosophie des sciences du vivant, abordés sous l'angle théorique (épistémologie, ontologie biologique) ou pratique (éthique). Ils ont suivi trois directions principales: (1) raisonnement diagnostique, logique inductive, statistique et probabilités, procédures heuristiques; (2) investigation des liens de causalité, preuves de causalité, explication causale, évolution et ontologie du devenir; (3) éthique et connaissance, méthodologie de la recherche clinique, éthique de l'investigation bio-médicale, épistémologie biologique, anthropologie bio-médicale. Les recherches sur la logique des raisonnements médicaux et sur la nature des explications causales ont pris naissance en relation avec le programme de logique et philosophie des sciences de l'université de Stanford, et se sont développées grâce à une pratique hospitalière de médecin psychiatre attaché, aux urgences. La réflexion morale a été enrichie et mise à l'épreuve par l'expérience de divers Data and Safety Monitoring Committees (veille sur des essais cliniques effectués sur des malades du sida ou du cancer), et par une participation de huit années (1990-1998) aux travaux du Comité Consultatif National d'Ethique français.

There’s no direct translation of “la brega” in English, but for Puerto Ricans, it’s a way of life. To bregar means to struggle, to hustle, to find a way to get by and get around an imbalance of power. It’s got a creative edge, a bit of swagger; as Puerto Rican scholar Arcadio Diaz has observed, it’s a word that belongs to the underdog. Hosted by New York-born Puerto Rican journalist Alana Casanova-Burgess, La Brega tells stories of an island and a people trying to cope with too many challenges, and who deserve and demand better.
Season 1: “Stories of the Puerto Rican Experience”
Season 1 uses narrative storytelling, investigative journalism, and first-person reflections to reveal how la brega has defined so many aspects of life in Puerto Rico during its 120-year history as a colony of the United States. A persistent state of crisis, longstanding neglect by national leaders, and corruption in local politics have made recent events — including a 15-year recession, devastating storms and earthquakes, and deep cuts to basic services — even more arduous. What does it say about life in Puerto Rico that la brega is such a defining experience?
Temporada 1: “Historias de la experiencia boricua”
La temporada 1 utiliza elementos narrativos del storytelling, periodismo de investigación y reflexiones en primera persona para revelar cómo la brega ha definido muchos aspectos de la vida en Puerto Rico durante sus 120 años de historia como colonia de los Estados Unidos. Un estado de crisis persistente, el abandono prolongado por parte de los líderes nacionales y la corrupción en la política local han hecho que los eventos recientes — que incluyen una recesión de 15 años, tormentas y terremotos devastadores y profundos recortes en los servicios básicos — sean aún más arduos. ¿Qué es lo que dice sobre la vida en Puerto Rico que la brega sea una experiencia tan definitoria?
Season 2: “The Puerto Rican Experience in Eight Songs”
Known as the island donde hasta la piedras cantan – “where even the rocks sing” – Puerto Rico is home to a dizzying breadth of musical expression. From the lyrical boleristas of the 1930s, to the electric salseros of the ’70s, to the reggaetoneros of today who have taken music from the margins and made it a global sensation, this season takes listeners on an exciting, richly-reported, cross-genre adventure that captures the ceaseless creativity, emotional resonance, and yes, la brega that are hallmarks of Puerto Rican music across eras and formats.
Temporada 2: “La experiencia boricua en ocho canciones”
Conocida como la isla donde hasta las piedras cantan, Puerto Rico alberga una vertiginosa amplitud de expresión musical.
