SUMMARYSuicide constitutes an increasingly important cause of death in Quebec; nearly 1,000 deaths due to suicide were recorded in 1979. In fact, the number of suicides actually began to rise in the early 1960s; during the 1961-1976 period, the general risk of dying from a suicide increased by 50% for males and doubled for females. This rise is the highest among all Canadian provinces. The Quebec experience is also clearly different from that of several Western countries, where on the whole, during this same period, very slight increases in mortality due to suicide have been recorded. This rise in suicide is accompanied by a radical change in the suicide profile. Whereas, previously suicide increased with age, in 1976 one found the highest rates of death due to suicide among the young. The cross-sectional observation also leads one to believe that, presently, the young are the most likely to commit suicide. However, the longitudinal analysis of the phenomenon shows that within a given generation, suicide continues to increase with age. The most recent generations have a greater likelihood of committing suicide; the fact that those are large generations may likely influence the behaviour of the individuals. Among other factors that explain this rise in suicide in Quebec, one must emphasize the declining influence of the church, the declining stability of the family and the improvement of the recording of the phenomenon.

The distinctiveness of Quebec postmodernism can be seen in the relationship of theoretical, critical and fictive discourses. On this basis, the author describes the principle axes which define Quebec postmodernism today, notably, experimental writing, the questioning of History, feminism, nihilism and heterogeneity. The analysis of this last concept in Jacques Poulin's Volkswagen Blues demonstrates how the novel addresses contemporary issues of marginal behaviour and of ethnic, racial and sexual identity.

The deliberate destruction of cities and cultural sites in exchange for strategic gain has been frequently used in the history of armed conflicts. Despite humankind's ethical and legal progress to curtail the targeting of globally recognized heritage sites, this modus of war still persists, as has been witnessed in areas controlled by the Islamic State group. This movement has eagerly publicized its demolition and looting of archaeological sites and artefacts. The underlying religious and material incentives of these political acts are analyzed in the context of international treaties on the protection of these properties and the penalties surrounding major offences.

AbstractIn his relation to exile, Tierno Monénembo refers constantly to his experiences at the time he fled the dictatorship of his country and began a journey that appears to have no end. For him, exile is a place that leads the writer, like his characters, to reflect upon the issue of identity, therefore inviting him to challenge the void and begin a better search for a refuge, and for models with whom to identify and who can save him from the gaps of memory and history. Accordingly, writing becomes a game of self-invention, allowing the Franco-Guinean novelist to invest his various protagonists with his own exile-related anxieties, which determine a quest for identity based on the form of the wandering and the undecidable.
