With the rise of the Native urban population, that now even surpasses the resident population on reserves, we are currently witnessing a transformation with regard to the presence of Indigenous citizens in Quebec cities. A major part of this collective presence, composed of a majority of women, is spurred by the actions and leadership of the Quebec Native friendship centre movement. This article aims to recount the history of the women behind the creation of this movement: their continued effort to revise its founding principles has now turned it into a key institutional actor on the Quebec and Native socio-political scenes.

AbstractFranz von Baader, “the romantic philosopher par excellence”, saw his own Lectures on Religious Philosophy of 1827 as the “logical” entrance into his system of thought. The author of this article attempts a thorough commentary of that difficult and disconcerting text, in which he sees Franz von Baader's theory of knowledge expressed in those lectures as a powerful return to Aquinas's epistemology in the face of the Kantian critique. Baader's profound originality stems from the theosophical frame into which he sets his reading of Aquinas, confronting it to Jacob Boehme's Trinitarian vision in particular.

AbstractThe social and cultural changes during the last decades have strongly shaken the notion of modernity. It is in this context that the concept of multiple modernities was developed to describe the contemporary situation. Should this notion, like globalization, be put to the test ? In order to re-evaluate the concept of multiple modernities this article is drawn from themes described in length by its author over the past years : first, the place occupied by Nation-States and Revolutionary-States in the contemporary world and the social, classic and new movements (related to religious fundamentalism and to post-modern, post-materialist and multi-cultural movements) while looking closely at their inter-actions in particular in the second half of the XXth century. The conclusion from this analysis is obvious : no matter how different they may be, the movements that characterize the world of the present assimilate, over their criticism of classic modernity — and of the Western World —, the actual themes of this modernity. In their own terms they adopt fundamental truths and themes to be found in the discourse of modernity and take part in the emergence of new manifestations of this discourse.

This paper aims to describe how principals of vocational training centers-VTC evaluate vocational education training-VET programs in place since 2003 in Quebec and compare this evaluation with the skills required and expected of those principals. An electronic survey was sent to all Quebec vocational training centers-VTC principals. Respondents, who have rather limited knowledge of available vocational education training-VET programs, confirm the quality and the relevance of the program and question it duration. In addition, a ranking of their selection criteria for hiring new teachers merits a more in-depth analysis. The comparison of these results with the skills required for managing an educational institution leads to the conclusion that a better understanding of the foundations of vocational education training-VET programs by the vocational training centers-VTC principals is needed.

AbstractTranslating modes are linked to historical periods as well as to connected philosophies of history. Among them transhistoricism aims to create a dialogue between distant historical situations, keeping from the past what is still relevant and enlightening both translated and translating worlds. This paper presents several philosophical and literary perspectives on transhistoricism, revisiting the notions of empathy and sacredness and their application for translation studies.

In the context of the Marian effervescence of the 1950s, Adèle Levasseur, a grey nun of Regina, proposes a new devotion dedicated to Mary, Queen of Nurses. The emotional communities associated with the network of institutions of the congregation have allowed a rapid dissemination of the devotion through different communication strategies, the development of a devout iconography and the promotion of a precise vocabulary of emotions. Nevertheless, the changing context of the time and the premature death of sister Levasseur will limit the effects.

The article examines the various instances at which Simmel's work confronts the necessity to reformulate the liberal conception of obligation. If — as the emergence of social rights suggests — responsibility for action is no longer imputable to individuals alone and if the rationality of the law is not determinable through positive law or the abstractions of natural law, a sociological revision of the modern conception of freedom is indispensable. Beyond the naturalist, positivist, and historicist framework of the 19th century, this revision must necessarily include a critical analysis of the close link that the Moderns posited between universalism and legal-economic formalism. In this perspective, Simmel's thought at once represents an acceptance of the historical dimension of this phenomenon, but also seeks to transcend it through an ethico-political reflection that allows for the emergence of a new type of universalism, which is immanent in modern formalism.

AbstractAccording to the storytellers the author encountered in the 1970s, great tales are “stories involving crossings” or “stories involving misery” that many of them had learned by memorizing the “goings” and the “haltings” along the characters' paths. These storytellers lived these tales like the crossing, filled with risks and difficulties, of an imaginary world to be visualized from the beginning to the end. These crossings undoubtedly resonated in their own lives just as their lives resonated in the tales. As such, they have transmitted structured accounts that are full of meaning that is inexhaustable. Along with the typology work that helps researchers link “all the tales that exist in the world”, the author wonders what we can learn from approaching tales that were transmitted to us from a topographic, or even topological, point of view. In this article, she describes how the topological reflex that she has developed by studying tales now nurtures her relationship with the world. She also attempts to systematize her “researcher's reflex”, to sometimes catch constellations of figurative meanings and literal meanings coinciding in rich sequences.

The author proposes that Kama La Mackerel's ZOM-FAM is a fabulatory archive for queer indenture. She contextualizes this book of poems within Mauritius and the island's histories of enslavement and indenture and observe how ZOM-FAM offers a queers lens through decolonial approaches to language alongside an aesthetic that illuminates new genealogies in queer indenture and decolonial gender.
