From the XVIth to the XVIIIth century, feminine aging incited contrasting iconographical and textual testimonies regarding the function of elderly women as well as the often negative prejudices they were subjected to. It wasn't easy for a mature woman to maintain a role assuring her the consideration of her family or of a society which, since the Renaissance, glorified youth, beauty, and fecundity. There were also female artists of this period who embodied the issues and challenges of old age that are still ours today : i.e., achieving meaningful and dignified acceptation of the alterity of aging.

Seniors and immigrant groups are most often analyzed through their cultural traits and many studies have focused on intergenerational transmissions. The approach on older women are, either viewed through problems specific to migration such as the isolation, or specific to older people as dependency factor, or even gender-specific as domination and exploitation. From a study of both, transmission as well as social structures and changes in trios of intergenerational refugee women in Quebec, a multidimensional and interactional analysis is proposed. We are interested in processes that place these older women, grandmothers of the trios, at the heart not only of transmissions such as the mother tongue or some family traditions, but also as leaders of the art of constructing new knowledge and social transformations. More specifically, various types of alliances and circulation processes of change will be analyzed under the assumption that the circularity of transmissions and transformations bring these actors to modify their cultural practices, to change social roles within the family dynamics, and to take on new positions in socialization processes and in public spaces.

Investigating gender relations in Algeria brought the author back to the place where she had spent her childhood, on the outskirts of Algiers, between 2014 and 2016. On this familiar ground, she did an ethnographic study on the movement of female bodies when leaving domestic spaces. Sharing gender constraints with the subjects of her study in the domestic space, as well as experiencing harassment outside the domestic spaces, set the conditions for her involvement as a researcher. This field practice allowed her to co-produce a situated, embodied knowledge that rendered forms of agency and of spatial and social resistance intelligible.

Qualitative research in the educational sciences, with its plurality of theoretical and methodological approaches, emphasizes how social agents think of, perceive and feel the phenomena that they experience. At the intersection of the quantitative and comprehensive approaches, a narrative inquiry uses stories to understand lived experience through language. The resulting data is fixed in time, process and experience. Yet completing a story is governed by a set of constraints that make it into a test : putting the experience into words, assigning time and configuring the story, the narrative format that is a necessary condition of expression. This article specifies the dimensions of the test for the subjects who put their experience into language and configure it into a story, then to show the concrete effects seen on one possible form of this inquiry approach, that of micro-stories of hospitalized children in Brazil.

This paper is concerned with a study on the self-perception of a group of women who, after a long period of unemployment, are presently learning computer maintenance in a French firm in the framework of a project carried out by an association which supplies formation and provides professional insertion. This association was convinced that so-called female qualities for relationship could facilitate women's entry into this employement position. We shall show that, instead of incorporating in their speech the value of their qualities for public relations, the women embody their supervisors' representation. However, combining their preceding experiences and newly acquired knowledge the women come through all right in computer maintenance.

Are social inequalities perceived in the same way in Quebec and in the rest of Canada ? In Canada and in other countries ? These questions are examined through a secondary analysis of data from the 1992 International Social Survey Programme study of inequalities, carried out in 18 countries. The results are interpreted in light of Esping-Andersen's typology of welfare state regimes. Compared to other Canadians, Quebecers are more conscious of social inequalities and also more supportive of state intervention to reduce them, but these differences appear slight when viewed from a broader international perspective.

AbstractThis article presents the results of a qualitative research using semi-structured interviews dealing with educational conceptions held by newly hired university professors in Quebec (Canada). The results show that conceptions held by these professors regarding learning and teaching could constitute important obstacles in the development of their pedagogy as well as their relation to teaching and learning. The authors propose that training for these professors include an innovative approach which is centred on the relationship between teaching practices and reflections on teaching in light of professors' conceptions rather than that based on knowledge of teaching techniques and activities.

Insofar as the culture of industrialized societies has entered the realm of professional expertise, how has the rational intervention of specialists contributed to the social construction of childhood? The aim of this article is to identify two professional medical models that became current in Québec in the field of childhood between 1930 and 1970, and to describe their influence on its configuration. The point is to understand how, in the course of time, scientific knowledge forms itself into frames of reference in the raising of children.

The concept of rehabilitation is sometimes contrasted with the idea of spontaneous or natural desistance from crime. In this essay, I argue that both these concepts are based in a medical model of understanding change that is not consistent with what is known about how the process of desistance actually works. Both rehabilitation and spontaneous desistance should be understood in a more nuanced and integrative way, as in the assisted desistance or co-produced desistance rhetoric used in British desistance research.
