After having devoted several films to portraits of human "monsters" (Amin Dada, the Burmese monk Ashin Wirathu) or to an extraordinary lawyer (Jacques Vergès), the filmmaker Barbet Schroeder wanted to devote a documentary to a "modern saint". In Ricardo and Painting, in 2023, he films Ricardo Cavallo, whose friendship he has cherished for forty years. He follows his friend to the foot of the cliffs of Morlaix and to the small village of Saint-Jean-Du-Doigt. The filmmaker tries to understand his subject through the singular way in which he looks at it: accompanying the artist step by step in the stages of his work, he takes us on a stimulating journey through the history of painting. But the film is also an opportunity to reflect on transmission through conversations between the painter, his young students and the filmmaker. When he invites himself into his film, Barbet Schroeder draws his self-portrait implicitly, puts cinema in abyss, while celebrating friendship, this shared feeling in the service of a sensitive praise of Nature and Art. The happiness claimed by the filmmaker at the end of the shoot is entirely in the images of his film.

The development of regional historiography in Québec dates back to the 1920s and 1930s and may be seen as a sort of successor to the colonization monographs of peripheral regions produced between 1850 and 1914. While publications devoted to local and parochial history are relatively abundant in the inter-war period, rare are those which attempt to present an overview of the evolution of a particular region. The article proposes an analysis of six main overviews of regional history published in the period: the Bois-Francs by Father Charles-Edouard Mailhot, the Gaspé peninsula by Brother Antoine Bernard, Témiscamingue by Augustin Chénier, the Outaouais by Father Louis Taché et al., the Saguenay by Monsignor Victor Tremblay and the Eastern Townships by Monsignor Albert Gravel. Although the level of training and the historical and methodological rigor of these authors are not the same, they share certain aspects of a similar interpretative context in which French Canadian occupation of the territory and the clergy's role in the construction of local and regional structures are seen as important. Also, a weak point common to these overviews is their handling of economic history. With one exception, these authors are all priests and belong to the generation born in the 1890s. Following the example set by Monsignor Albert Tessier of Trois-Rivières who was an inspiration for several, these historians became the promoters of the regionalist movement of the 1930s.

This article proposes to analyze the nature of the public policies carried out in the management and the development of the roads of Saint-Jacques-de-Compostelle since about thirty years, as well as the incidence of these actions in the representation of the paths of Saint -Jacques-de-Compostelle by the pilgrim walkers. After reviewing some facts and figures relating to the paths, this artist reflects on the social and economic forces that are empowered by these paths. Finally, this article addresses the importance of cultural paths in the production of local development strategies.
