Carmen Roy's fieldwork practices from the late sixties in Saskatchewan remain misunderstood. Nevertheless, they are an important part of French Canadian ethnology's history, as they demonstrate, in concrete terms, the boundaries of a discipline whose foundations hearken back to the ideology of French survival in North America and the « true tradition » school. Carmen Roy's experience is especially interesting given the fact that it reveals a failed fieldwork study that the folklorist was unable to explain. This article proposes to discuss this hidden failure while situating it within the development of French Canadian ethnology.

AbstractThe Breton language has become an urban languague. Its future development is linked to the cities of Brittany. Two models have been put forward concerning its development: the first by the Committee for Breton Identity in Upper Brittany and the second is the urban policy model developed by the city of Lorient in Lower Brittany. The latter model aims to develop bilingualism in road signposting and signage on buildings. While the first model proposes mainly a symbolic signage, the second model has a systematic character. Basing myself on the first model, I have observed that the second model, which is the object of study, also derives from the will to develop the Breton culture by way of urban signage. The naming of places is part of this process and becomes for the political actors a means to develop culture and identity. The correlation of the public demand in the Pays de Lorient for this type of signage, measured through a widespread questionnaire and semi-directive interviews, with the actual application of the policy reveals the identity and the economic issues. It also enables me to observe the political thinking and the field practices to draw a picture of the Breton situation.

In France, the exposure of children to conjugal violence has recently become a concern as regards the struggle against violence to women. This realization awakens one to the need for coordinated action that takes into account both conjugal violence and child protection. Research carried out amongst those concerned has led to a better understanding both of the related practices and their identification. For example, different images of the child have been identified that portray both the position held by the child within the framework of social treatment of conjugal violence, and the way exposure to conjugal violence is viewed under the terms of measures that are essentially child oriented: symptom child, benchmark child, intermediary child. Professional are also guided in their actions by their identification of child risks. These are risks specifically associated with exposure to conjugal violence, risks that, if liable to be increased within such context, are more widely linked to conjugal separation.
