This article examines the place occupied by domestic production in women's lives in rural and urban Haiti and its relationship to their work in the labour market, analyzing both types of production as accomplished in one location and in two different ones. Domestic production is considered here under three aspects : the specific conditions of procreation, the relationship between types of unions and childcare, and household work per se.

This article examines the different conceptions of the social and solidarity economy (SSE) in Brazilian and French academic circles and, more particularly, how they view the SSE's role in society and social change. The aim is to identify the differences and similarities by comparing the theoretical literature in the two countries. On the Brazilian side, the main authors stress self-management as a principle in contradiction with the rest of society. However, government seems to play an important role in the growth of this sector. On the French side, independence is emphasised, but government's role is also stressed. The comparison highlights the contribution of each country's conception to the development of a new cultural model in Touraine's sense.

AbstractBy planning to digitalize our heritage, technical projects modify the conditions of perpetuity of cultural objects. What about the conservation of the forms in which those objects can be perpetuated ? Can the text, as we know it, survive as a prevalent way of conserving and legitimizing a culture that is supposed to turn digital ? Beyond the seductive formula of “ Hypertext ” (both contrary and superlative of text) the point is the nature of informatic textuality and, in fact, the definition we adopt for the text itself.

Language planning in New Brunswick reflects the sociolinguistic and sociopolitical situation of the two official languages. In Greater Moncton, in the Southeast of the province, French is the minority language in the city of Moncton and the majority language in Dieppe, a neighbouring city. This study, based on field research, aims at uncovering the linguistic representations of each of the languages by analyzing the language of signs adopted by several businesses in the farmers' markets of these two cities. The study shows that bilingual signage is slow to materialize in an area where linguistic ideolologies, given that English is symbolically dominant, still seem deeply rooted in the collective imagination.

This article studies the Natural Histories and Travel Narratives of sixteenth century French authors with regard to their confessional discourse. In which ways did these genres serve the spiritual geopolitics of Catholics in Protestants, the so-called Huguenots, in French Atlantic? How did these Natural Histories and Travel Narratives develop between the sixteenth and late seventeenth centuries? Did they lose importance because of the controversies between Protestants and Catholics in France? What happened with the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes? Did French Protestant Travel Narratives still promote the establishment of Huguenot colonies in the French colonies?

Popular tales (or tales from the oral tradition) are among the first objects of study in ethnology/folklore. They belong to the realm of orality, often described as “oral literature” or “orature.” This article first presents a historiography of the ethnological study of tales, showing how researchers have shifted their gaze from the “text” to the “context,” i.e., from the object itself to the context in which it is uttered and to the person telling the story. Secondly, to provide an example of what characterizes the oral tale and storytellers of the past, two contemporary storytellers associated with the transmission of a heritage of oral tales—Michel Faubert and Fred Pellerin—are studied in order to illustrate their concept of the tale, their influences, and their storytelling art, while attempting to determine if they are part of the tradition. For these storytellers, the art of the tale consists in making images appear: performance is what nourishes the imagination, and the storyteller's relation with the audience is what makes the tale come alive and what sustains it as an oral form. Today's ethnological research on tales includes modern, multiple and innovative forms emerging from a dynamic process of communication and transmission in which storytellers' performativity plays a key role. From an ethnological perspective, in other words, the art of storytelling is not a kind of folklore that has been relegated to museums but a living tradition.

AbstractReflections on art and the conditions of its practice in a peripheral environment hold an important place in the essays of Herménégilde Chiasson. For him, art implies a commitment to community, one that forms the basis of his decision to be a provincial artist. The collective project of ensuring the rebirth of Acadia, a project in which the artist is involved, would be meaningless if it were not rooted in his territory of origin. The artist in a peripheral environment experiences a number of dilemmas between leaving or staying, folklore or modernity, universal art or an art connected to distinctive local characteristics, and these dilemmas are “creative paratopias” that nourish his artistic production. The essays make it possible to shed a new light on Herménégilde Chiasson's work as a whole and to gain a better understanding of his underlying motivation.

Socio-economic democratization requires the presence of an intermediary that ensures economic inclusion and social equity through alliance, osmosis and articulation between politics and citizens. As a mediator, the sociocultural community developer ensures the emancipation of young people and supports their professional commitment by training, motivating, facilitating, and financing their project ideas. This article lays the groundwork for a reflection on the indispensable role of youth houses in the field of social and solidarity economy, almost non-existent in Tunisia, by focusing the analysis on the JEUN’ESS project implemented by the International Labour Organization (ILO), in partnership with the Ministry of Economy, Finance and Investment Support under the EU4YOUTH program (Support for Tunisian Youth) funded by the European Union.
