Paul Lejeune is the author of the majority of the Jesuit relations of New France in the 1630s. With the institutionalization of their publication during this decade, these annual missives circulate outside the Society of Jesus. The representations of the Innu people and of their spiritual otherness then evolve from a demoniac description to superstitions, replaceable by Christian doctrine. To that end, the missionary relies mainly on the ancient meaning of the notion of genius before subsequently nuancing this historical association and the use of Christian terms. In so doing, Paul Lejeune allows, maybe despite himself, the permanence of a spiritual and metaphysical otherness, unthinkable within the European imaginary.

AbstractCurrent deaf identity, as a central issue of the “culturalisation” process of deafness expressed through the Deaf figure, brings together several social logics. This article questions two of these logics. Linked to worlds that are in rupture and in continuity, the logic of institutional help and that of identity-claiming are at the root of the communitarisation process of deaf identity which allows the exploration of negotiations in the construction of deafness as a cultural and ethnical reality. The deaf identity linked to these two logics appears as a complex dyad and, although it provides some insight on the Deaf figure, several questions related to the “culturalisation” of deafness remain unanswered.

AbstractThe author explores the possibility of developing, within the limits of the capitalist system, industrial techniques that are adapted to human capabilities. Technical systems developed within the capitalist system, for instance taylorism or fordism, have been based on the subordination of humans to machines. Marx saw this subordination as an integral part of the capitalist system. But some experts have tried to break this subordination, even within capitalism, by developing techniques that, through the use of computers, would retain and even enhance the skills of production workers. Others have seen this type of system already in place in Japan, in firms such as Toyota or Fujitsu. According to them, Japanese enterprises have reestablished the control of workers on the machines. Through a closer examination of the uses of industrial techniques in Japan, this article arrives at mixed conclusions: there are possibilities, but limited, of developing industrial techniques adapted to human capabilities within capitalism.

The francophone African detective novel, beyond the fundamental aspects which define it and which it shares with the Western model, is distinguished by an approach dictated by the cultural influences of sub-Saharan Africa and by a theme anchored in the realities that prevail in this space. It is writing that has been able to mark its singularity and enrich itself with the multiple contributions of tradition and the modern world. However, it does not seem to escape the generic Western models that Todorov places in three categories: the noir novel, the mystery novel and the suspense novel. Congo à gogo by Bruce Josette (1983), L'Archer bassari by Modibo Sounkalo Keita (1984), La Vie en spirale by Abass Ndione (1984), Kouty, memoir of blood by Aida Mady Diallo (1998), L’empreinte du renard by Moussa Konaté (2006) and Sorcellerie à bout portant by Achille Ngoye (1998) differ as much in the unfolding of the plot as in the treatment of the invariants of the thriller in its broadest sense. The crime, the motive, the modus operandi, the characters of the culprit, the victim and the suspect are not presented in the same way. The study of the narrative universe of this novel genre will allow us to put some African novels from the French-speaking world to the test of the Todorovian vision of the thriller.
