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.

This work aims to present negrism in three novels by Antonio Olinto: A casa de agua, O rei de Keto and Trono de vidro. Brazilian negrism has two faces : it can be considered from a thematic perspective, or as a set of procedures. In this article, negrism will be seen from this latter angle and used to analyse the representation of the world of the people of African descent in those three novels. Olinto values black people and represents them in all their diversity, thus breaking away from the stereotypes in force at the time.

The famous ‘author function' of Michel Foucault (1969) has settled the question for at least one generation. It meets with the process of modernity: always correlated to his or her work, the author is indissociable from the order of discourse and of the manner this function develops throughout history. Still, the stakes involved remain open to discussion and deserve to be taken up again in the light of more recent perspectives. Hence, this article proposes to reread the author function, beyond the textualist positions, within the general framework of a critique of culture, by highlighting the dialectic between control and liberation that animates it, as well as the epistemological and ethical choices that intermingle within.

ABSTRACTIn the late nineteenth century and the early twentieth century the exploitation of Canada's softwood forests was transformed by the new technologies of the second Industrial Revolution. This can be understood in terms of Innis's staple thesis as the exploitation of natural resources on a margin for and using the technology of a more advanced Euro-American centre. The sociology of knowledge also provides a framework for analysis as old and new bodies of technical knowledge were possessed by and altered the relationships among different social groups. Changes were experienced both in the woods (pulpwood logging) and in the mills (pulp and paper making) in ways which were broadly similar but different in timing and other significant respects.

AbstractThis is a participant-interpreter study of how issues of loyalty, ethics and ideology condition the action of a literary translator. A case-study is presented of the author's socio-ethical dilemmas and decisions while translating Bosnian, Croatian and Serbian literature into English during the 1990s. This aims both to contribute to the socio-cultural historiography of that period and to illustrate how a literary translator might perform in settings of acute socio-cultural conflict. The case-study observations are then used to explore the nature of the literary translator as a textual and social actor. The “constrained autonomy” of the literary translator is seen as having several key implications. Among these are: that all translating acts have ethical and socio-political repercussions; that partiality informed by awareness of the demands of the wider social web may often be a more appropriate stance than neutrality; that the power structures within which the literary translator acts are more important than target language or translating strategy per se in determining source-culture representation, and that time/workload/chance factors may also play a role here; and that confronting Derrida's indécidable is a defining feature of translator autonomy.

Quite rare are French studies focused on lesbian movements. Mainly rooted in a Parisian context, those studies generally take the feminism-lesbianism relations as their analytic frame. This comparative study, between Rennes and Paris, helps the author to uncover the different gateways to lesbianism (as a feminist or homosexual movement), by enlightening the influences of homosexual, alongside feminist, militancies in the development of lesbian movements. She supports that the centrality and ambiguity of feminism-lesbianism relations vary according to local geographic spaces. She brings up the argument that those variations can be explained by the feminist and homosexual movements influence fluctuations, as well as the role they take in the development of plural lesbian militant traditions in the 1980s. Her study ultimately aims to complexify and nuance the way lesbian history is seen, and to add empirical contributions to Rennes' and Paris' lesbian movement.

This article provides an account of the institutional transformation of the Association canadienne-française de l'Ontario (ACFO) between the 1970s and the mid-2000s. The ACFO initially rejected multiculturalism as a competitor to the bicultural political project. However, its position gradually changed, up to the point where it saw Canadian bilingualism as complementary to the multicultural political project. The ACFO was then confronted with the question of its legitimacy as a representative organization of the Ontario Francophonie in the mid-1990s. The imperative to restructure the organization, issued by the Department of Canadian Heritage, led in 2006 to the merger of the funding structures of the Department and the former ACFO, which then became the Assemblée de la francophonie de l'Ontario (AFO). These transformations of the Franco-Ontarian associative world took place against the backdrop of the referendums for Quebec sovereignty and the patriation of the Canadian constitution in 1982.

This article analyses three ways of being in the field adopted by anthropologists according to their understanding of the discipline. This analysis thus presents a brief history of conceptions of intersubjectivity manifest in the evolution of fieldwork practices over the past sixty years. In the structuralist tradition the researcher creates for himself a scientific self that enables him to grasp what he observes in a manner which is beyond the grasp of people met in the field. In the interpretive tradition the researcher deems his fieldwork successful according to his ability to distance himself from his own « fictions » to identify and analyze those in terms of which others live. Finally, in the experiential tradition, the investigator consents to a deeper intercultural experience on which to base his ethnographic knowledge. From one historical period we demonstrate that increasing degrees of participation in the lifeworld of others lead to new kinds of ethnography.
