AbstractThis paper argues that in the 1930s Canada Steamship Lines (CSL), in order to sell its cruise ships and luxury hotels, developed and sold an image of Québec as a simple, premodern folk society. It examines CSL's promotional literature and, further, shows how the tourist market CSL created involved others in the construction of this image. Québécois anthropologist and folklorist Marius Barbeau contributed a book of folklore for CSL, and the company worked with the Government of Québec in the handicrafts revival. What united these diverse actors was an antimodern belief that there existed an authentic, true and typical Québecker, the essential core of the nation: the rural habitant.

This scientific article presents the outcomes of a longitudinal study experimenting with a developmental pedagogical approach in writing with primary school students. The students’ progress is assessed by analyzing fictional stories written by the children at different points in time and in two distinct contexts, one with a predefined structure, and one without. The outcomes of the students identified as struggling at the beginning of the study are compared to those of their peers who were considered as having no difficulties. The analysis carried out, besides highlighting the contribution of the approach, makes it possible to question current evaluation and intervention practices, which often rely on a step-by-step and rigid conception of writing.
Keywords: écriture à l’école primaire, writing in primary school, récit et créativité, fiction writing and creativity, approche pédagogique développementale, developmental pedagogical approach, differentiated teaching, pédagogie différenciée, apprentissage, learning

This article will focus on the ways in which Gabrielle de Coignard’s Sonnets spirituels, cultivated in purposefully sought domestic isolation, reveals conflictual aspirations nourished by the pursuit of an untainted devotional path that nevertheless cannot escape the assimilation of the earthly passion-fraught discourse of the Petrarchan tradition. Beginning with an analysis of the two opening sonnets, I will examine how despite her apparent disavowal of the worldly obsessions of practitioners of this dominant tradition in order to define herself as a singularly and purely Christian poet, her writing places many of their conventions, allusions, and rhetoric at the centre of her own poetic itinerary. I will then move on to study how these opening signals of Coignard’s inscription of her devotional trajectory both against and within the male and female Petrarchan tradition are affirmed at multiple moments in the progression of her collection.

The folktale is a secular genre and belongs to the cultural heritage of each nation. However, literary theorists have concentrated on written narrative at the expense of oral traditions, whose conditions of production and reception are not the same. Indeed, traditional storytelling combines several semiotic systems. This intermediality is essential to produce meaning. Therefore, in order to better understand the intrinsic mechanisms of this particular literary genre, this article examines the processes of creation and reception of a number of chaouis (berber) folktales in a region where oral traditions still exist.

This reflection develops by following the connection between the images that appear in films and the words of those who directed them. Reviewing Tahar Kessi’s Hystérésis (Algeria/Autoédition, 2009), Djamil Belloucif’s Bir d’eau - walk movie - portrait d’une rue (Algeria/Autoédition, 2010), Drifa Mezener’s J’ai habité l’absence deux fois (Algeria/Béjaia DOC, 2011) and Aboubakar Hamzi’s El Berrani, it compares the words that allow us to catch a glimpse of one of the possible landscapes of Algerian cinema, one that completely accepts its inwardness.
