Recent studies of twenty-first century electronic dance music culture (EDMC) highlight the importance of women's creative agency as producers and DJs, and the role EDM plays in women's formation of identity (Farrugia 2012; Hutton 2006; Rodgers 2010). Prior to the 21st century, however, women's roles in club cultures and nightlife economies were more circumscribed, and women frequently took on roles outside the profitable and creative domains of these cultural economies. Despite being relegated to these less prestigious or profitable roles within the EDMC, as well as historically having been neglected and trivialized as participants in subculture dance music scenes, women have been active participants in Montreal's club cultures since the 1950s. Without claiming to be exhaustive, this article offers a historical survey of the various ways in which women participated in Montreal's nightlife from the 1950s to the 1990s, as well as in the EDM and social dance music scenes, from discos to raves.In this paper, that draws on a broader ethnographic and archival project on LGBTQ club cultures in Montreal, are explored the historical experiences of women in club cultures between the 1950s and 1990s. Themes such as nightlife activism, strategies of territorialization and self-determination, the role of the state, musical participation, creation, and technology will be explored in relation to various recreational “spaces” of the city. These spaces include the Red-Light district, the first lesbian-run nightclubs, the “golden age” of feminist and lesbian establishments in the 1980s, and their decline with the emergence of queer culture in the 1990s.

How do older women grieve a same-sex partner? To better understand this scarcely documented experience, the authors led a qualitative research project during which they conducted 18 interviews with 10 women over the age of 65 from the Greater Montreal area, in Canada, who had faced this loss. The authors look at the ways in which their participants define their community, how these ties change over time and their impact on the experience of grief. They present their participants' perceptions of existing resources as well as their hopes for the future.

The second German edition of Capital appeared in nine issues, from July 1872 to March 1873. Marx added an afterword in which he hoped to answer his western European critics, whom he felt did not grasp his work. To understand the afterword to the second German edition of Capital, one must take into account both what Marx wrote in his book and what Marx's British, French, German and Russian critics said about his work between 1867 and 1872.

AbstractIn contemporary Quebec literature, conventional generic boundaries are constantly transgressed. This paper is concerned with one specific intergeneric phenomenon, " transposition " as it is displayed in both Normand Chaurette's Scènes d'enfants and Jean-Frédéric Messier's Dernier Délire permis. By transposition, we mean the intrusion into the text of exogenous generic elements, causing the destabilization, though not, the denaturalization, of its traits. In both texts, transposition appears as a structuring principle that interferes in the narrative development of characters and creates a form of dialogue between fictional discourse and critical reflection. Transposition here shows us not only how a critical purpose is constructed but also how it manifests itself within the signifying organization of both texts.

This essay models power and counter-power games aimed at controlling sexual identities in entrepreneurship. To date, the discipline has avoided dealing with economic models inspired by homosexual liberation. In order to limit its interest in the field of value creation, it presents entrepreneurship as a refuge for discriminated homosexual employees. However, studies in history and political science show that, through their activism, these entrepreneurs have opened up a viable alternative market and participated in the development of the inclusive agenda. In addition to the two queer entrepreneurial imaginaries of refuge and activism, this essay highlights the existence of a counter-participatory dynamic, that of entrepreneurial queering that challenges the gains of identity politics and the inclusive agenda. In order to guarantee a renewal of the entrepreneurial spirit, defensive queering seeks to preserve the (unique) experience of producing oneself as a queer entrepreneur. Offensive queering proposes economic models whose core is not to propose an alternative like the founders of the queer market, but to challenge the heteronormative regime.

Through a phenomenological perspective and walking interviews, the author looks at different meanings attached to lesbian and queer positionalities in Montreal. Based on the shared experiences of lesbian, bi and queer participants with various backgrounds (age, migration status), she analyses the relation between identification and space. The walking interview experience sometimes leads to the exploration of community spaces and identity politics, and at other times leans towards wandering and a fluid conception of sexuality. Through these shared sociocultural trajectories situated in the specific Montreal context, the author situates sexual orientation both as personal experience and political positionality.

What were some of the conditions of lesbian visibility in Montreal in the 1970s and 1980s in the context of the Quiet Revolution and the emergence of lesbian and gay liberation and second wave feminism? This article explores the problem of visibility at the heart of lesbian and queer women's thought and experience through a study of Plessigraphe, a lesbian-feminist photography studio. Drawing on the epistemological and methodological approaches associated with critical visual culture studies, the author analyses the practices of two lesbian-feminist photographers who contributed to lesbian visibility amidst feminist media and cultural networks of the time.
