Poetry publishing in the province of Quebec is intrinsically linked to the Canadian context and its system of government subsidies, its French-English bilingualism and its rather small pool of poetry readers. In this context, the publishers are likely to maintain a cautious relationship with the publication of foreign poets in translation, even if that activity has the potential to enrich Canada's cultural heritage. This research is part of a Canada-wide reflection on the role of literary translation in the birth, the preservation and the redefinition of a nation's identity. In this article, we share a preliminary observation of the presence of foreign poets translated into French and published in Quebec between January 2000 and October 2014. We sought to answer the following questions: 1) Which foreign poets are translated? 2) What trends are emerging in the field of language and place of origin? 3) What publishers are most involved? 4) Who translate foreign poets? 5) What are the funding sources behind the published corpus? This exploratory study could serve as a basis for further studies on translation and published foreign poetry in the province of Quebec.

One characterized by its insularity and remoteness from major sea trade routes, the Pacific Ocean region is becoming a focal point of international relations. Since the end of the Second World War, a complex and multifaceted multilateral architecture was implemented, resulting in the creation of multiple multilateral institutions. Numerous regional powers also exert a growing influence by addressing bilateral and minilateral policies towards Pacific Island countries. The emergence of the Indo-Pacific framework, a new concept in international relations adopted by many regional powers, questions the significance of the Pacific Ocean region within this new geopolitical landscape.

ABSTRACTPrivatization has turned into a major phenomenon for the developed world as well as the developing world. However, few studies have examined the privatization phenomenon in developing countries. This paper surveys the literature on privatization with a particular emphasis on the developing world experience. It also describes the way privatization is implemented, the objectives followed by governments launching privatization programs as well as the observed patterns of these programs. Finally, the paper summarizes the empirical evidence on the financial and operating performance of newly privatized firms.

AbstractThis paper aims at proving empirically the superiority of an explanation for recent financial crises in emerging countries which combines endogenous and exogenous factors rather than focusing only on one of these two kinds of factors. To this end, we built our empirical analysis on estimations of random effects models for panel data and the statistics of Fisher.To date, elements of a similar explanation were able to be brought only in the particular context of a particular crisis. Our contribution proves this superiority by using data related to 14 emerging countries and 3 recent periods of crises (Mexican 1994, Asian 1997 and Russian 1998), covering thus most of the financial crises which took place during the last decade.

AbstractThe Empire of Signs : The Boundaries of Japanese WritingThis essay explore the relationship of writing and national culture. In opposition to the utilitarian theory that dominates the linguistic sciences with respect to Chinese characters in Japanese writing, it pursues the theories of Karatani, Lyotard and Derrida, in order to evoke the constellated nature of the sign, and in différent registers : sound and mark, speaking and seeing, discourse and figure. Nevertheless, even if it is possible to situate the constellation of the sign outside Western logocentricism, constellation in itself is not necessarily a deconstructed or deconstructive site. It can offer in turn a productive regime of overcoding. The writings of Tanizaki Jun'ichirô and Mori Ôgai afford a way to demonstrate and analyse such effects.Key words : Lamarre, colonial studies, writing, national identity, Japan
