The expansion of social and collaborative artistic practices since the 1990s has made artists' residencies particularly well suited to the construction of cultural citizenship, especially in isolated or forgotten areas. Many residencies receive artists on specific projects and select them according to their presumed capacity to create something common, while responding to the issues raised by current societal and environmental transformations. Interviews with artists and residency managers, participant observation and the analysis of residency stories have made it possible to establish that this emancipation does not only take place through participation in supervised creative workshops or mediation actions, but through the very presence of the artists and the research methods and practices that they bring to the territory. This temporary presence is anchored around hospitality and the possibilities it offers locally. Hospitality also constitutes one of the conditions for exchanges to be created according to personal desires and affinities, and for the residencies to become sites of learning and production of free knowledge. Finally, our study shows how these residences allow for the construction of subjectivity and solidarity in the resolution of common problems, by allowing for the possibility of dissent, thus combining the enjoyment of cultural rights and the exercise of citizenship.

Historians of geographical discoveries have yet to completely analyze French colonial maps. This historiography has long been contaminated by a positivist conceptual framework focused on the primacy of geographical discovery and the gradual progress of precision. This article proposes a reinterpretation of certain maps from the exploration journey of Jolliet and Marquette to the Mississippi (1672-1674). It pays attention to the details of the maps, their toponymy, omissions, the economic interests of colonial or metropolitan actors, and finally, discourses on colonial space. With the sending of maps to the court of the King of France, there is a deployment of a rhetorical arsenal aimed at influencing colonial policies regarding geographical expansion, all inexorably linked to the fur trade.

Where does the law come from requiring that Aboriginal people be defined by blood, while all Canadians are legally defined by soil ? “Pagans” and “Savages” were they not called upon to disappear without this happening ? Has Indian identity not been diluted by adoption and especially by intermarriage with the“Whites” ? Yet haven't indigenous societies always included foreigners (captives, slaves, members of other ethnic groups, Europeans) ? Has the decline of tradition and the appropriation of modernity led to a dilution of identity ? We are dealing here with the French Regime. The second part will concern later centuries.

In the mid-1970s, two associations dedicated to fostering relations with China existed concurrently in Montreal: the Société Canada-Chine and Amitiés Québec-Chine ; their members called themselves “friends” of China. Coming from a wide variety of social, economic, and political backgrounds, they formed, along with Maoists, a circle of sinophiles who sought to have an impact on Quebec society through privileged links with China. Focusing on these actors, this article sheds light on the evolution of sinophilia in Quebec in the 1970s, which arose from the encounter between an intellectual and diplomatic tendency inside the English-speaking elite and the social and political movements that were shaking Quebec society, particularly on the French-speaking side.

This interview realized by Études internationales with two experts of Ukraine shows that the position of France over the conflict in Ukraine has evolved since the annexation of Crimea in 2014. Although the French diplomacy has refused to acknowledge the annexation of Crimea, it has first relied on the mediation of the conflict through the “Normandy framework” and took some time to distance itself from Putin's Russia. The all-out war declared by Russia in 2022 has prompted Emmanuel Macron to overtly support Ukraine and to firmly condemn the Russian invasion. However, the French political class and the media are not always wholly in tune with a resolute support to Ukraine and a clear condemnation of Russia.

The wording, rationale and genesis of Article 4(h) of the Constitutive Act of the African Union (AU) strongly suggests that the founders of this regional organization did not intend to challenge the collective security system of the Charter of the United Nations. The text, making no mention of a possible authorization by the Security Council, simply conferred on the AU internal legal competence, necessary for intervention on the territory of its Member States in the event of genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity. This interpretation is consistent with the regional security system established by the Protocol Relating to the Establishment of the Peace and Security Council, the common defense system established by the Non-Aggression and Common Defense Pact and the practice of the African Union and its Member States which have never claimed a regional exception to the right of the Charter of the United Nations.
