AbstractIn 1949, anthropologist Marius Barbeau recruited Margaret Sargent, a young classically trained musician from Ontario to work for him at the National Museum of Canada. As the first ever musicologist to be employed by this institution, Sargent's first task was to transfer Barbeau's wax cylinder sound recordings to magnetic tape. While working on Barbeau's massive collection, Sargent became interested in collecting folksongs and proposed to him the idea of going to Newfoundland to do research. With Barbeau's support, in 1950 she spent eight weeks in the province, collecting folksongs, fiddle tunes, and other folklore materials mainly in St. John's and Branch. Despite launching the first Canadian funded research into Newfoundland's folksong traditions, little is known about Sargent's activities for the National Museum mainly because she published nothing of her Newfoundland work. Instead, her successor Kenneth Peacock is often viewed as launching this research. Although Peacock later visited the province six times, eventually publishing a three-volume collection Songs of the Newfoundland Outports (1965), it was Sargent who initiated the Museum's folksong research program in that province. This essay, which is based in part on interviews with Sargent, as well as her field notes and tapes, provides a detailed account of her Newfoundland fieldwork and of the kinds of material she was able to acquire during her one summer of fieldwork. It highlights the fieldwork challenges Sargent faced while in Newfoundland and how her groundbreaking fieldwork paved the way for Peacock's later research.

This article explores the manner in which Le Parfum du jour est fraise by Pascale Petit illustrates the concept of performativity in the literary context, and how the performative character of the poem lends itself to a translational rereading of the work. The analysis will focus first on a discussion of the general conceptual contours of performativity. Next we examine how the “voice” in the poem – the speaker who commands, controls and manipulates all – erases the distinction between the reader and the narratee, and how the voice manages to control and shape the reader as a subject of a quasi-scientific experiment. Finally, the discussion will explore performativity in translatology and in the experience of the translation of this text into English.

In postulating, on the one hand, that the textual construction of the figure of the artist—whether the artist be a writer, a painter or a musician—necessarily involves elements of the autofictional and, on the other hand, that relationships between the artist and instances of legitimization are illustrated via metaphoric treatment at the level of spatialization, this article discusses the ways in which the short story depicts the artist as well as the practice and reception of his art. The article's central premise is that the conditions of real production inflect the construction of fictional conditions to the extent that the more the artist perceives legitimacy, the more the imaginary artist tends to circulate within defined spaces and of institutional order. The selection of writers included in this study allow for the testing of this premise given that each of the authors writes or wrote as a resident of western Canada while maintaining an individual relationship with a different Francophonie and, as a result, with different literary institutions. The writers in question are Marguerite-A. Primeau, Lise Gaboury-Diallo, Gisèle Villeneuve and Claudine Potvin.

La marche internationale La rue, la nuit, femmes sans peur : ses origines et sa dynamique symbolique
More informationThe march Take Back the Night is part of two dynamics of the Western feminist movement that was reborn in the 1970s, the new political action strategies, and the denunciation of sexual violence against women. This march also has an original aspect due to its international character which was rapidly developed due to the rise of the radical feminist networks in the United States and Europe. This article will elaborate on the origins of these marches, especially in the United States, Canada, Germany, England and France. And nonetheless, this article will try to relate the origins of the first march. From researches in the Canadian archives, during the period 1980-1990, some aspects of the march will be more highlighted, such as the symbolism of the appropriation of the night by women, the solidarity among women worldwide and finally the celebration of the strength of women.

APPRENDRE EN LISANT AU PRIMAIRE EN RECOURANT À DES TEXTES INFORMATIFS ILLUSTRÉS : ÉTUDE EXPLORATOIRE
More informationAn essential activity of reading for student success in all disciplines is learning through reading (APL). To support their students in this sense, teachers from an urban school in a disadvantaged area developed collaboratively an approach of APL they adapt according to their group and the discipline taught. This study aims to explore the relationship between the activity of APL designed by the teachers of the 3rd cycle including a series of tasks and texts proposed and student responses to the various tasks. The main results show that few of the proposed tasks actually require reading and that the main source of information remains textual. Consequently, the use of the image as information support is still marginal and planning activity of APL, as the choice of texts, remains a major challenge in planning for an APL context.

This paper explores the past, present, and future of library marketing in the United States. While its foundations were laid more than a century ago, not every library is up-to-speed in its knowledge or practice. There are “Haves” with plenty of space, staff, and money, and “Have Nots” that lack some necessities. In the midst of this uneven landscape, the author discusses the organizations and publications that support it, details the trends in four categories, and lists national campaigns and awards. Special attention is paid to the continuing challenges and the possible future scenarios.
