AbstractWithin the context of reflecting on Montreal, creative city, this article introduces the presence of the film industry within this context. First, the author explains the overall international film industry, then the strengths and weaknesses of the Montreal film industry, its importance, the synergies with other cultural industries, the availability of resources and its internationalization strategies are explained. There is the presence of a creative process that has helped the film industry to differentiate itself and has also benefited the other cultural industries as well as benefiting from them.

Visual literacy is a new concept that enriches the one better known as multimodal media literacy. At a time when Internet overwhelms various public images of all kinds, it is appropriate to consider how school can contribute to visual literacy's development, making the user both active and critical. This article examines the nature of images and their reading in order to better define this new visual literacy, which owes much, among others, to the multiliteracies' current. It also discusses the relevance of visual literacy at school, and analyzes some examples of inspiring projects in the field.
Keywords: Littératie visuelle, littératie visuelle numérique, littératie médiatique multimodale, multilittératies, lecture de l'image, Visual literacy, digital visual literacy, multimodal media literacy, multiliteracies, image reading

This contribution examines manner-of-speaking (e.g. murmur, mutter) in a German>Spanish parallel corpus of narrative texts. This research was prompted by the fact that this phenomenon had not yet been paid due attention in the “Thinking-for-Translating” framework, in comparison with the phenomenon of manner-of-motion (e.g. limp, run). The starting point of this paper is thus the widely confirmed fact that, in previous works focusing on the translation of manner-of-motion between languages belonging to different typologies, some alterations regarding manner have been identified (e.g. omission, addition), and that this is mainly due to typological differences between source and target language. More precisely, speakers of satellite-framed languages (including German) often encode manner, while users of verb-framed languages (including Spanish) usually devote more attention to the lexicalization of path, sometimes at the expense of manner. Thus the aim of this paper is twofold: first, to examine translators' behaviour regarding manner-of-speaking in a satellite-framed language>verb-framed language translation scenario (German>Spanish), specifically focusing on the translation of reporting verbs in a corpus of narrative texts; second, to compare the resulting data with findings from previous comparable studies dealing with the communication and motion frames. In the translation scenario studied here, the results suggest that translator behaviour differs when dealing with these two frames: while manner-of-motion is often omitted in translations into Spanish (from German), manner-of-speaking is usually transferred, or even added.

In 2016, Goblin: The Lonely and Great God, a South Korean television series, was partly filmed in Quebec City. Its popularity in South Korea is without question as large as the fans’ willingness to visit the filming locations. This article documents the film location tourism phenomenon generated by this series in Quebec City. Its innovative contribution lies in the study of the transformation of the circle of representations by modern media. Film-tourists seek to find the filming sites, they reproduce the same images by substituting themselves for the heroes in their photos, but they will also visit non-tourist, off-centre sites, and broadcast new images. “Ordinary sites” thus acquire an extraordinary appeal, demonstrating the strength of the imagination created by the series. The data collected thus illustrate the establishment of the “circle of representations.” The analysis of the tourist fluctuation also shows the variability of the phenomenon of film-tourism. Although the city experienced a notable increase in the number of film-tourists the year following the series’ release, this increase did not last. Despite the destination’s efforts to attract film-tourists, external factors, such as the difficult economic situation, seem to have been responsible for the increase in attendance.

Film music has been neglected for a long time in scholarly literature, especially in French-speaking countries. This shortcoming is addressed since a few decades by the blossoming of musicological and specialized analysis devoted to film music. By casting a retrospective glance over this young academic field called “film musicology”, we will first question the place of film music study within musicological research, so as to understand the disavowal it has been subjected to. Disparities still exist between North American and French approaches, but we will demonstrate that the progressive institutionalization of film music and its inclusion within musicology are set on an encouraging path. The issues specific to film music study will be examined in order to highlight what methodological challenges such a research object entails. We will also show how they relate to and reengage a number of reflections taking place within musicology itself.

The publication of this issue on “Cartographier/Mapping” provides an opportunity for Hispanist researchers at the LLA-CREATIS Laboratory (at the University of Toulouse) to reflect upon four years of research on intermediality conducted within the Intermedialidades seminar. This article presents their contributions on the linkages between intermedial tools and a decade-long research on “dispositive theory” at the LLA-CREATIS Laboratory. It stresses intermediality as a pluralistic approach that explores the “complex media midfield” (Müller) of cultural—artistic and non-artistic—products. Intermediality takes stock of the scope and sophistication of these products and provides a fine-grained analytical tool to address their multiple challenges. This article advances the hypothesis that by using this broad outlook one may outline what is specific in artistic media through the analysis of intermedial objects, under the condition that these artistic products display an intermedial artistic intent—in other words, that they reflect on the permeability, linkages, and frictions between various media, as well as on the media environment in which creation occurs.

The special circumstances related to helping in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina—both a natural disaster and a man-made catastrophe—are explored. Stories of individual, formal, and informal networks of helping, alongside stories of exploitation and despair, were shared by participants. Significant to the history of the aftermath of Katrina was the eventual formalizing of some of the informal helping networks, such as the establishment of a musician’s village and performance center in the 9th Ward of New Orleans. The theme of “doing the right thing” echoed throughout our participant interviews, as did “the chance to move beyond angry.” Stories of helping appeared to provide examples of hope to the citizens affected by the storm, as well as encouragement towards purposeful action. The stories of helping, along with participation in altruistic social networks, appear to provide a pathway to the recollection and transformation of traumatic memories.

This historical study enquires into the theatricality of horror films from the perspective of its origins on the stage. It focuses in particular on the relationship between film and spectacular nineteenth-century attractions such as the phantasmagoria and the melodrama, taking into account theoretical discourses around music's role in them. Hanns Eisler's and Theodor Adorno's central text Komposition für den Film, too often reduced to a one-sided critique of mass culture, serves as the theoretical foundation of this historical enquiry. Three musical strategies are identified and discussed from the point of view of their historical importance and aesthetic implications : the leitmotif, dissonance and repetition. While the article focuses on the early years of the twentieth century, from early cinema to classical Hollywood cinema, it also throws out ideas for addressing the post-1960 period. The profound singularity of the “new horror film,” as it was seen at the time, is thus partially put into new light by placing it in historical context.
