This article demonstrates the links between two approaches: one based on integrated water resources management and the other on social economy principles. It does so using an analysis of environmental, social, and economical impacts resulting from a provincial program for the improvement of septic systems in New Brunswick managed by watershed associations of the Acadian coast between 2003 and 2007 (southern Gulf of St. Lawrence). The first part of the article presents the importance of watershed management and the concepts of integrated water resources management, and of social economy. Then, the results of the analysis done are presented using a participative partnership research, and interviews, and focus groups. The results of this study show the social contributions of the various watershed groups to the social economy, sustainable development and integrated management of New Brunswick.

AbstractThis paper focuses on the Ketama tribe in Central Morocco and their role in the production of kif and its derivates in the economical activity of the region. Its purpose is to present an anthropological point of view on the relationship between religion and cannabis. How can it be explained that in a country ruled by a religious monarchy, the production of cannabis flourishes ? First, this paper analyses the Ketama tribe's relation with religion, taking into consideration the impact of kif production on the religions structure. And second, it questions the religious process which has allowed the Ketama to put aside any religious interdictions on cannabis.

AbstractWhile travelling to New York City and New England in the mid-70's, Gérald Leblanc discovered the writings of a number of American poets of the counter-cultural movement. Leblanc was fascinated by the intense discussions surrounding the works of militant poets such as Allen Ginsberg and Lawrence Ferlinghetti. His discovery of a generation of social protest writers would become the foundation for most of Leblanc's poetic works. In this study, I first examine the influence of Ginsberg, a central figure from whom Leblanc borrowed numerous formal and thematic elements, including onomastic allusions to the community of poets, a spiritualist lexicon inspired by Ginsberg's Buddhist references and a strong sense of the poet's militancy among his peers. The second part of this paper is devoted to the later reading of American protest poet Hakim Bey, whose notion of cartography became so important in Leblanc's work.

Jean Marcel's novel, Hypatie ou la fin des dieux, creates an intricate set of layers that can be read in three different ways. The first reading is related to Mediterranean space, which gives rise to two antagonistic configurations: the Roman Empire, spread around the Mediterranean shoreline, and today's Mediterranean shaped by an imaginary line of force separating East and West. The second is related to time: the novel plays on the confusion between two historical periods, one marked by the disappearance of Greek culture in Egypt (fifth century), the other by Egypt's defeat in the war against Israel (1967). The third is related to the characters of Hypatia, famous philosopher and mathematician, and St. Catherine of Alexandria, entwined in a double figure at the crossroads of pagan and Christian imaginations.
