This paper sheds light on the institutionalisation of northern research in post-war French-speaking Quebec, focusing on the intellectual, disciplinary and political negotiations around the creation of Université Laval’s Centre d’études nordiques (CEN) in 1961. The debates underlying CEN’s institutional vision, as imagined by geographer Louis-Edmond Hamelin (1923–2020), reveal the tensions among politicians and academics whose interests diverged in terms of ends, but converged in terms of means. The research centre, seen as vehicle ensuring a French-Canadian presence in the Quebec’s north, offers insight into the political and scientific premises of Quebec’s Quiet Revolution.

During the 1930s, French-speaking scientists in Quebec published little research in the natural sciences. To remedy this situation, in 1942, professors from the University of Montreal launched the “Revue canadienne de biologie.” By reconstructing the trajectory of this periodical, we relate the implementation of editorial practices intended to conform with the requirements of the scientific field. We then analyze the process of disciplinary positioning of the periodical, as well as the tensions specific to the emergence of editorial power that largely benefited medical biology rather than other branches of biology. Finally, we examine the impact of the management of the journal by Les Presses de l’Université de Montréal on the editorial process, particularly on peer-review practices.

Avant de franchir la ligne d’horizon (2012), the poems in Outre-mort, 1991-1994 (2003) and Lettre à ma sœur (2006) provide pieces of the story of Algeria’s struggle for democracy. Habiba Djahnine’s characters share their hopes, but also their failures, losses, dead-ends, powerlessness, amnesias, despondencies, and the state of being on the brink of insanity that they have confronted and still must confront. The documentary film-maker’s assessment and perspectives are supported by the role given to a “possible poetry” which puts into words and pictures the faces and the voices of several generations of those who decided to act instead of simply suffer, committing themselves to “an Algeria in spite of it all”.

“Avant-garde times. Maybe the only exciting form of life, because of its intimate connection with writing”: this is how Chloé Delaume, in Où le sang nous appelle (2014), remembers her initial enthusiasm for some experiences of poetic and politic activism, even though she later took stock of them in a severely critical way. This quotation epitomizes Chloé Delaume’s ambivalent relationship with the avant-gardist tradition, especially with the situationist legacy. In the light of Delaume’s works, from Le Cri du sablier to Les Sorcières de la République, this paper will try to show how the avant-garde concept with its historical, sociological and pragmatic aspects, however obsolete it may seem, allows to overcome this contradiction and to better position Chloé Delaume in the contemporary literary field.

Based on ethnographic data collected on the establishment of call centres in France and the Maghreb by a French insurance group, the article addresses the notion of 'voice', as an object and an analytical tool, to reveal the mechanisms for legitimizing the call centre workers' voice. It shows that the pursuit of an objective of economic profitability of the interaction through the professionalization, standardization, and delocalization of the employees' voice does not produce the expected effects. Phenomena of discrimination and domination act through and on these voices, inseparable from the social spaces in which they are produced and heard.

The author adopts in this text a new angle in the field of research on artists’ residences. Going away from the point of view of the artists, she takes place on the side of the centers of art which welcome them to put better on the fallout from these programs on all the stake holders (cultural centers, artists, publics). She wonders in which measure artists’ residences, envisaged as intermediate spaces, have an impact on the territory which they occupy and the relation developed with the community of public of this territory. She concludes that the nature and the scale of these impacts are not mechanical, but vary according to contexts and relational dynamics set up.

In Québec, cultural animation’s recognition is related to that of its training programs, including the undergraduate program in animation et recherche culturelle (animation and cultural research) at UQAM. Even though this program has lived some difficult periods in its history, it is currently experiencing great popularity in terms of student enrolment. Between 2006 and 2008, an MA in cultural animation is planned in the wake of the success of the BA, but its development is blocked following questions raised during focus groups conducted with students, graduates and employers. How to understand this non-completion? How it participates in the recognition of cultural animation in Québec? This article is based on an analysis of the comments made by participants in the meetings organized within the preparation of the MA project and of the issues they raise.
