AbstractWe propose to extend the class of light verbs in order to include restructuring and causative verbs in Italian. Their argument structure contains empty positions and they form complex predicates with heavy predicates by identification of argument positions. The argument properties of a complex predicate with volere (to want) are those of the heavy predicate; as for the argument properties of a complex predicate with fare (to do), they are attributed to the fact that the latter has a specified external arguement. Complex predicate formation takes place at the level of Argument Structure, whereas the class of (quasi-)light verbs is defined at Lexical Conceptual Structure: the predicates s-select events. A (quasi-)light verb is coin-dexed with a heavy verb at D-structure and at Logical Form.

AbstractIn contemporary Quebec literature, conventional generic boundaries are constantly transgressed. This paper is concerned with one specific intergeneric phenomenon, " transposition " as it is displayed in both Normand Chaurette's Scènes d'enfants and Jean-Frédéric Messier's Dernier Délire permis. By transposition, we mean the intrusion into the text of exogenous generic elements, causing the destabilization, though not, the denaturalization, of its traits. In both texts, transposition appears as a structuring principle that interferes in the narrative development of characters and creates a form of dialogue between fictional discourse and critical reflection. Transposition here shows us not only how a critical purpose is constructed but also how it manifests itself within the signifying organization of both texts.

Based on the assessment of an “event mania” in the field of culture, this research theorizes the Territorial Portfolio of Cultural Events (TPCE). This involves adapting traditional models of strategic analysis to provide public managers a tool for steering the territorial supply of cultural events. On the basis of a single and embedded case study at the scale of a community council, the results show that 1) the process of cultural events' selection should be considered in a functional approach and 2) strategic management is characterized by a contingent multi-level and multi-stakeholders governance, involving territorial incentive leadership.

At the time of digital economy, the democratization of the social uses of digital tools by people has given rise a new sector of production in the informal sector in Cameroon. This paper seeks to analyze the way the youth, who are facing the increased worsening of their life conditions, invest their digital skills as an economic opportunity, by exercising the job of "downloader" of cultural productions in urban areas. The study is based on an ethnographic survey combining interviews and the participative observation. It shows how youth, in their self-employment dynamics, mobilize their imagination and entrepreneurial skills. The appropriation of digital technologies by downloaders structures social gender relations, contributing to the production of masculinity in the urban space. By invading the roads, these youth maintain socially hierarchical interactions between themselves, whereas their relationship with employees of the council in charge of regulating the occupation of urban space are characterized by power states and corrupt practices which partly structure the functioning of the postcolonial State.

SummaryThis article offers a sociological interpretation of the elements involved in the construction of autobiographies by dance artists. More particularly, it questions the role and the place of the body in the construction of self-history which gives an account of a past existence through dance. The irregularities of the latter tend to disappear due to the natural flow of autobiographical writing whereas descriptions of dance experiences, which structured the artist's career, reveal a series of disconnected moments all contributing to the development of the self, all coming together in the history told by the movements of the dancing body.

Louis Hémon's novel has been adapted several times for film, fiction or documentary by the French, the English, the Quebecois, or all of them at once. The present article describes these adaptations and their critical appreciation at the time of their release and afterwards. The author describes and distinguishes the films of Julien Duvivier, Marc Allégret and Gilles Carle, maintaining that one of Carle's adaptations is the best. This is not the 1983 film and TV series but rather the 1973 film La mort d'un bucheron. This movie adopts only some of the elements of the novel (the names of the characters, the relationship between father and daughter, between these characters and nature, etc.) but transposes them into a decolonizing scenario where Maria breaks with tradition by exposing the covert social violence in French Canadian society. This revisionist approach seems to have been historically more relevant since this film remains the one most appreciated by critics and historians.
