Drawing on the collaboration that led him to write three librettos for José Evangelista, the author reflects on the musician's relationship with literature, language, narrative structure, and tradition. To this end, duende, as theorised by Lorca, serves as a hermeneutical emblem, not by reductive regionalism but as an aesthetic principle that affirms body and combat. At the same time, it celebrates creative freedom which, for José Evangelista, is synonymous with human freedom.

This article presents an overview of digital literary journals. A seemingly easy task given their brief lifetime—the first online journals appeared in the early 1990s—it is, in fact, considerably more complex than one might think for a number of reasons examined here. To begin with, even the definition of « digital literary journal » is not easily agreed upon. On the one hand, we use the word « digital » to refer to various heterogeneous practices that don't readily group together. On the other hand, what we now call the « digital revolution » has produced major changes in terms of content, production, validation and distribution which greatly impact the meaning of the word « journal » itself. Different phenomena must therefore be considered separately in any attempt to illuminate the disparate practices that overlap and impinge on one another. This article first investigates the challenges facing the digitization of journals, namely the process of transposing paper journals to electronic format. It then surveys the digital journals since their inception to try to understand the different experiences that occurred from one to the other. In conclusion, an attempt is made to understand how the digital as cultural phenomenon—especially amid changes in dissemination and circulation of content and the various forms of so-called « editorializing »—has transformed the very notion of the journal itself and given rise to complex and hybrid practices that may be difficult to situate in the overall cultural vista.

Since 2015, the Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec (BAnQ) has produced visual presentations of the history of 40 Montréal theatres founded between 1825 and 1930. Produced in collaboration with four partners from three Québec universities, this research project highlights the cultural, social and commercial history of these venues using the institution's collections and archival records. The author describes how this project began, then contextualises the use of ephemera and images with respect to the historical and document-use considerations. The collaboration with the universities, namely the Laboratoire d'histoire et de patrimoine de Montréal at the UQAM, is discussed. The use of Historypin and Story Maps, free web sites, as well as the document and scientific spin-offs the project are also presented.
