Pratiques funéraires et ressources de migrants en procédure d'asile confrontés à la mort d'un proche
More informationBecause they are in the process of requesting asylum and because of the statutes that apply to them by national law, it is very difficult for asylum seekers to leave Switzerland in the event of the death of a relative in their native country. In this article, we present the results of an exploratory qualitative study on the practices implemented and the resources mobilized by these migrants to deal with such an event. The results show that mourning is sometimes put on hold because of a combination of structural constraints associated with their legal status on the one hand, and on the other, the resources they are able to mobilize while waiting for asylum.

AbstractThis article questions the importance of recognizing elements of an antiracist and anti-discriminatory approach in intercultural education and citizenship education in the school setting. By examining the specifics and relationships of the antiracist approach with inter- or multicultural education and citizenship education, the article first presents the “value added”, the criticisms it receives, and a comparison of its presence in Québec and Ontario schools. For Québec, the article briefly describes policies and practices at the elementary and secondary levels using the results of a study on antiracist education in French-speaking Montréal schools by Potvin, McAndrew and Kanouté (2006). In Ontario, the analysis is more general and examines the report by the Royal Commission on Learning (1995) and on the only antiracist policy (Ontario Ministry of Education, 1993), which originated under a New Democrat government. In conclusion, some prospective elements underscore the need to introduce the elements of an antiracist perspective in citizenship education courses.

Several studies reveal a diversification of methods in contemporaneous Public Administration. This study takes systematic stock of and compares the research methods used over one decade of published research in two national journals in Public Administration. Research papers published in Canada, as well as in Australia, have apparently not followed methodological developments in the wider Public Administration community. Our systematic review revealed minor differences between these two communities : interviews and qualitative content analysis are popular in both samples, whereas quantitative methods remain basic. This particularity is not shared by Canadian political science research.

This article proposes some reflections on research or interventions relating to issues that concern and affect us. The English term would be “insider”. As researchers and social workers with an immigrant background, our personal experiences are also part of the issues we deal with concerning vulnerable populations: the descendants of racialized migrants, the children of racialized mixed couples, LGBTQ migrants and racialized persons. We will therefore address, through our respective objects of engagement, how working with racialized populations re-actualizes experienced forms of exclusion while giving rise to new questionings feeding our research.

Affect et Témoigner pour Agir. Penser l'action sociale du témoignage public dans sa forme artistique
More informationThis article follows a reception study of the militant art exhibition “Témoigner pour Agir” (2017-2018). To better understand the social and subversive actions deployed by public testimonial in its artistic form, exhibition visitors' responses are put in dialogue with that of an exploratory conceptual analysis of three of the artworks presented. The analysis is based on feminist philosopher Sara Ahmed's theorizations of affect, a sociopolitical definition of emotions that allows for thinking about their role in the consolidation of social norms and inequalities as well as in their transformation. Making visible, shocking the public, and showing the way to inclusion and recognition appear as social actions with the potential to reach publics in a different way, i.e. against the current. Finally, the analysis of the intervention through artistic testimonials contributes to a broader reflection on the role of emotions in the field of social work.

AbstractIn the context of an exploratory study on internal migration among educated young people, our research examines the processes involved in their integration within unfamiliar metropolitan areas and analyzes them to identify patterns in the real and symbolic strategies they adopt to integrate successfully into the environments they have moved to. For some young migrants, moving to a metropolis creates feelings of apprehension. Others view their integration into the city as an enriching experience and an opportunity for social and cultural development. Our observations about the process of integration into metropolitan areas are drawn from a corpus of interviews with educated young adult migrants from Brazil (20 interviews) and from Québec (20 interviews). The study documents the challenges faced by the interviewees, the strategies they adopted and the support they received in the course of their integration process.

AbstractPrincipes of Paeceful Coexistence in PrimatesRecent studies of monkeys and apes demonstrate that following spontaneous aggressive incidents there is an increased probability of friendly body contact, specifically between the antagonists themselves. This implies individual recognition and memory, i.e. nunhuman primates remember with whom they have engaged in aggression, and seek comforting contact with this particular individual afterward. The form of the reconciliation varies per species, ranging from kissing and embracing in chimpanzees to grooming and lipsmacking in rhesus monkeys. Reconciliation is best regarded as a learned social skill, intelligently applied to preserve valuable relationships and to cope with the detrimental effects of aggressive behavior.

AbstractThe repatriation of sacred objects has significantly altered relationships between museums and First Nations. Often, new and positive partnerships are developed. When adversarial situations do occur they underscore the traditional colonial nature of relationships between museums and First Nations. This paper examines the nature of museum-based and traditional-based knowledge about sacred objects and considers how that knowledge shapes understanding of the nature of the sacred material.

The following paper presents the first of three stages of a research project seeking to develop a renewed theory of contract based upon a dialogical interpretation of the act of contracting. The authors attempt to frame the contract within a dialogical perspective that draws together several methodological and conceptual considerations found in linguistics and literary theory. By favouring consideration of the intrinsic “otherness” found in the interpretative exchange that forms the substance of any contract, dialogism comes to the fore as a stimulating theoretical approach to counter contemporary reifying of contracting parties. As an interpretative approach, this makes it possible to deal with two individuals, socialized and fully personified. By no longer considering a contractual meeting of the minds as a mass-produced economic commodity grounded in multiparous monological discourse, but indeed as a private legal bond inevitably appropriated by both contracting parties, the authors want to resituate the interpretation of contracts within the bounds of voluntarism. As such, dialogical discourse becomes the medium allowing each contracting party to root their full legal capacity in this normative process. Contracting parties cease to appear as abstract entities devoid of complexity, instead to become dynamic actors in the formulation and understanding of their contractual agreement.
