This article constitutes an attempt to present various modifications that could be made to the Polish version of the Vocabulaire européen des philosophies edited by Cassin. The text touches on Polish philosophical untranslatables that could become new entries in the VEP, such as the word czyn, as well as Polish vocabulary that could be connected with already existing entries. The article also describes the peculiarities of Polish as a language of philosophy in the context of extant VEP entries on particular languages. Polish philosophical language is presented in a historical perspective, which enables discussing the original word-formation characteristic of the Romanticist era, as well as the history of philosophical translations into Polish. Also presented is a series of translation problems which influenced Polish philosophical vocabulary and continue to pose issues for both translators and commentators of foreign philosophies. Certain words, such as liberalism and šaria are presented in the context of the present political situation. All issues were considered from a practical point of view, as pertains to the publication of the Polish translation, and the last part concerns specific editorial changes that should be considered by the Polish translators.

The role of affected populations in humanitarian responses as well as the effects of local participation have become the topics of numerous discussions. Participation in post-emergency situations can be analyzed through the strategies applied by aid organizations but also the perceptions of the affected populations. Furthermore, the use of camp committees as a participative strategy has raised several issues of legitimacy and representation, which those active in the aid community have attempted to address. In this context, does the model of local participation erected as a norm by the humanitarian expert community represent a new form of conditionality of aid? Based on interviews conducted in 2012 and 2013, this article will examine the various strategies that were developed in light of the conflicts, constraints, and resistance encountered in internally displaced camps (IDP) in Haiti. This discourse analysis will focus on the main documents describing the norms and practices of aid organizations, as well as several interview narratives from beneficiaries and inhabitants of the camps.

The following article focusses on the songs of Montreal-based Acadian hip hop group Radio Radio, as well as on how they are received in Québec. It investigates Radio Radio's contribution to the evolution of the Québec language debate. The article hypothesizes that an ongoing shift in language ideology is changing the power dynamics between Québec and Acadie, unsettling the established hierarchy which makes Québec the definer of the artistic and cultural norm that prevails for both collectivities. Radio Radio has taken advantage of, and contributed to this shift. From one album to the next, the group has performatively imposed a festive take on language contact that competes with the preexisting view of it as inherently deadly for francophone minorities. As its presence increased on the Québec music scene, so did new connotations for language mixing. These new connotations have been met at times with enthusiasm and at times with disapproval; but in both cases, they are now part of Québec's discourse on language.

Through online networks, Christian metal fans and musicians have developed diverse strategies for balancing their religious and subcultural identities in the face of opposition from the broader global metal community and the conservative Christian right. To investigate these diverse contexts, I apply theories of identity formation from psychoanalysis (Lacan 2006 [1966]) to three instances where Christians used metal for worship : Cesare Bonizzi, a metal vocalist and Capuchin monk, “metal mass” services in Finland and Colombia, and Christian extreme metal bands such as Mortification (Christian death metal) and Horde (unblack metal). By comparing the musical and verbal discourses of these groups with fan debates, I investigate how Christian metal fans and musicians perceive their musical and religious Others and how these perceptions influence their senses of self.

This paper investigates why managers and researchers working on disaster risk reduction (DRR) policies concerning large metropolitan areas use more integrative and systemic notions and tools as time goes on. Such is the case with resilience, panarchy and their counterpart belonging to the realm of management: knowledge management systems. It derives from the trend towards reconsidering notions and tools belonging to risk and urban studies. It's consistent with the need to acknowledge more the existence of complexity. And it helps understanding the process towards reconsidering even more policies targeting DRR in metropolitan areas. We justify the relevance of these ground trends while turning to a specific case study, Givors city, which belongs to the French metropolitan area of Lyon. DRR policies limitations locally found there during experience returns help understanding the usefulness of these notions and tools, but also the problems they met and still meet while implementing them.

For several years now, the Nionwentsio Office of the Huron-Wendat Nation has carried out research in archives and on oral tradition regarding the historic presence of the Huron-Wendat within their ancestral territory. The results of this work are used, notably, to protect heritage areas and identify areas of archaeological potential required as part of forest harmonization processes, and provincial and federal consultations. The Huron-Wendat Nation has become increasingly involved in archaeology in Québec, as well as in Ontario. Archaeology has been implemented recently to support the Huron-Wendat Protected Area Project in the Ya'nienhonhndeh – Lac à Moïse area, which is part of the Réserve faunique des Laurentides. In 2016 and 2017, archaeology summer schools were held in this region in collaboration with Laval University and led to significant discoveries. The use of archaeology by the Huron-Wendat Nation also raises important ethical questions, particularly regarding the policies developed by the Québec Ministry of Culture and Communications and the ownership of discovered artifacts.

This article examines the era of iron ore production at Schefferville between 1954 and 1983, a significant period in the industrial development of the mid-north regions of Québec. Relying on a variety of oral and written sources, the author seeks to understand the role Innu and Naskapi individuals played during this phase of development in the heart of their ancestral territories. If the mining experience in Schefferville developed, in part, to the detriment of the Innu and the Naskapi, these indigenous societies worked to construct their own engagement with the industrial world, adjusting and maintaining their practices in order to combine the work at the mine with their life on the land.
