This article aims to show the vivid filiation of contemporary Innus with their prehistoric ancestors. One might think that this is an unnecessary task as today's innu language, in continuity with that of the 17th century, is still spoken. Yet, with the prevalent belief of the “vanished Indian” in historiography, one still has to demonstrate the mechanisms 1) by which the blindness towards the Other occurred and 2) by which the Innu society was maintained over time. Political organization was not a structure in the Innu society. Kinship and common cosmology rather sealed the social unity. Epidemics and wars heavily fell upon the Innus, yet probably less so than on their native neighbours. The Innus reacted to these dismantling factors by reunifying their families through adoption and assimilation of widowers and orphans.

L'émigration des Canadiens français vers les États-Unis, 1790-1940 : problématique et coups de sonde
More informationAbstractUsing a Faucher-Dales approach to migration phenomena, the authors sketch a plausible scenario of the pattern of migration of French Canadians to the United States as regulated by the size of the differential economic rent. Making use of all available data, the authors show that this approach would appear to be vindicated to the extent that the scenario it suggests is compatible with the available estimates of the migration flows.

In this article, we will sketch a historical portrait of the video game sector in Quebec, both on the geographical plane (from Montreal to Quebec City through Trois-Rivières and other off-centred studios) and for different firm types (from the large studios to independent developers and amateurs). This historical overview will shed light on the challenges and characteristics of this sector which straddles both the technology and cultural industries in three stages : 1) the explorations of amateur entrepreneurs and enthusiasts; 2) the colonisation by large foreign firms and the injection of foreign capital which stimulated industry growth; 3) the structuration of independent developers (notably with La Guilde du jeu video du Québec) and the post-fission transition to a sustainable development of the sector. Our overview will cover the factual aspects of the industry, issues of contents and creative processes, and the challenges of achieving cultural sovereignty in a business sector based on liberalized markets, the free flow of capital, and a dematerialized digital economy.

Taking school spaces as an interdisciplinary issue encompassing the fields of education, architecture, and urbanism/urban planning, this article gathers theoretical and technical references from among these disciplines throughout the first half of the 20th century in order to locate possible exchanges carried out by Anísio Teixeira while shaping his Park-school, Class-schools program. The argument rests on the reading of documents taken from a variety of circumstances in his career as an educational administrator, even though not necessarily produced by him. The aim is to encourage a debate regarding a Brazilian response to the international challenge of providing a spatial infrastructure consistent with a modern school program.

This article articulates some of the historic as well as the main philosophic contributions to the transitional period in educational thought in America, 1866-1895. This is a period in which the movement away from idealism towards pragmatism as the basis for educational thought began. Contemporaneous with the development of pragmatism was a development in educational thought that stressed naturalism, functionalism, and the organic nature of mind and behaviour. As idealism laid claim to the dominant philosophy in America in the period 1866-1895, so too did it lay claim to being the dominant philosophic presupposition of educational thought. It was the first American philosophy of education: America’s first philosophy of education was not pragmatist; it was idealist, though this would change, beginning in the mid-1890’s. As pragmatism began to take hold of philosophy at the fin de siècle, so too did it begin to take hold of, and later dominate, the philosophic presuppositions of educational thought.

Benjamin Constant is one of the first foremost thinkers of liberal democracy. He played a leading role in the political and intellectual life of his time, at a decisive period for the future of Europe. His political legacy is exceptionally far reaching and he is also the author of the masterpiece Adolphe (1816), a forerunner of the modern psychological novel. Far from being only a political and economic doctrine, liberalism appears today to be one of the original sources of modern politics that is consubstantial with democracy. In Europe, the origins of political liberalism, represented in this case by Benjamin Constant, Mme de Staël and their friends, known as the “Coppet Group,” are closely related to the circulation of ideas and cosmopolitism, cultural exchanges and the practice of translation. In the Coppet circle, translation can be understood as meaning the transfer of a linguistic message from one language to another, but also as having the broader sense of interpretation and hermeneutics following Paul Ricoeur, who invokes the paradigm of linguistic hospitality. It is within that circle, in which was deployed an intensive activity of translation and interpretation, that were formulated the political, literary and aesthetic categories of the coming of age of democracy. In the famous distinction he developed between the liberty of the Ancients compared with that of the Moderns, Constant aimed to translate into politics and institutions the essential and irrevocable difference of modern times, that is, the primacy of individual rights born through the Revolution. While allowing for the free exchange of ideas and interchange with foreign countries, translation understood both in its narrower meaning and in the broader sense of interpretation, not only promotes the dissemination of the political ideas of liberalism, but also illustrates the need for difference and otherness as necessary features of liberal democracy.

This article thoroughly analyzes the central role of translation in George Puttenham's The Arte of English Poesie (1589), studying and contextualizing the different instances of translation and reflections on translating that are present in the book. By paying special attention to the translation into English of the numerous Latin lines included in the volume, as well as to the names of over a hundred rhetorical figures explained in it, it will be demonstrated that in The Arte of English Poesie translation has an essential function within the process of adjusting the work's rhetorical teachings to the profile of its target readership: idle courtiers ignorant of classical languages but highly interested in reading or composing poetry.
