This article mobilizes a approach for analyzing the influence of social class on the exile pathways of 20 Syrian government assisted refugee (GARS) families who arrived in Canada between 2015 and 2016. Our results demonstrate the existence of heterogeneity in class positioning within the Syrian GARS category, specifically with respect to the ability to mobilize and convert various types of capital (economic, social and cultural) to access migration out of Syria while staying in the different asylum contexts of Turkey, Lebanon and Jordan.

During the past few years, new forms of work organisation, of production, «high performance» organizations and the end of the division of labour have become very popular research themes. The introduction of new technologies and new work organisations is seen by some as offering the possibility of questioning the division of labour and therefore of increasing employment equity for women. However, most researchers, particularly male researchers, have not considered gender. It seems relevant to ask whether a re-examination of the division of labour will have an impact on women and man equally. Also, it seems pertinent to ask whether the new skills required by information technologies will be required of both sexes. Our research addresses these issues. In the ten Quebec firms studied, we observed both persistent and changing forms in the gendered division of labour in a context of technological and organizational changes.

AbstractThis research paper focuses on the issue of Francophone identity in a minority situation and the identities conveyed by the Festival du Voyageur, a winter festival featuring highly symbolic content celebrating the Francophone history in Manitoba. At the theoretical level, this research shows how such an event, however innocuousit may seem, fulfils certain social functions within the community by showcasing a highly idealized collective identity. This research specifically studies two types of identity: on the one hand, an identity that can be observed concretely and empirically, on the other hand, an identity portrayed by various media in Winnipeg. The corpus of the study comprises observations made by people taking part in the Festival, but also an analysis of a media corpus which includes four media: SRC's Le Manitoba ce soir, the CBC's local televised news, the Winnipeg Free Press and the newspaper La Liberté. Our hypothesis maintains that a medium's specific orientation has an influence on its content.

This paper proposes to rethink the integration of noise in music, a phenomenon too often confined in the borders of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, under the light of Jacques Rancière's reflections on what he calls the “aesthetic regime”: a revolution in the ways of thinking and feeling which, propelled by Romanticism and still ongoing, disrupts the conceptualizations of society and culture inherited from ancient Greece. In terms of artistic creation and appreciation, the new era is characterized by a decline of the classic ideal of eloquence, of the form entirely guided by a content to be transmitted, for the benefit of the more ambiguous model of the “mute speech”, of the signification that is beyond any master's control. The latter, Rancière explains, can be interpreted in two ways. As the immanence of logos in pathos, it is the expressive power of mute things themselves: the secret signification or poetry of unimportant details, accessible to anyone who knows how to look properly. As the immanence of pathos in logos, inversely, it is the share of nonsense hiding behind the most rigorously articulated speech just as in any other rational construction: an obscure force to which the poet-psychoanalyst or metaphysician tries, somehow, to give voice and body. If the mute speech and its two contradictory forms come to oust the old eloquence as the principle of artistic creation, it is because the whole aesthetic regime revolves around the idea of a radical identity between all opposites: the noble and the vulgar, the active and the passive, the conscious and the unconscious, etc. So, building on these reflections, this paper proposes to retrace some of the practices and discourses which, since Romanticism and up to this day, blur the lines between sense and nonsense, art and non-art, music and noise.

The discipline of history, probably more than the other disciplines in the humanities, has had to struggle with the postmodern challenge. After a necessarily short and simplified overview of the various thoughts on the impact postmodernism has had upon the historical discipline, this paper addresses a problem rarely raised in the philosophy of history, but which has been set out with a renewed acuteness by postmodernism: not the practical, but the theoretical and discursive relation historians have with their own knowledge, i.e. the epistemological exercise. I argue that while, for a long time, historians have applauded the epistemological exercise's absence in their discipline, the postmodern challenge has led many of them to object to it. It is indeed the way historians relate to epistemology that has been deflected under the impulse of postmodernism. Beyond this major discursive deflection, I conclude that it would be relevant to reflect further on the purposes and the ends of the epistemology within the historical discipline. This reflection, in turn, invites us to rethink the old and thorny question of the fraught relationship between history and philosophy.

AbstractThis research project suggests a general overview of public functions and institutions of the Saint-Roch-de-l'Achigan parish between the years 1810-1840. The text first offers an examination of the public duties and charges as they existed in the parish during the above-mentioned time period. It then integrates the people who occupied these positions in the analysis. This approach allows to associate given socioeconomic profiles to the exercise of specific duties and charges, and thus suggests a definition of institutional elites that finds its basis in the examination of individual actors' origins.
