With the crisis of time, characterized by the crumbling of the social rhythms and the feeling of acceleration, thinking the temporalities through has become a new concern for the territorial public policies. However, a gap remains in the issues concerning the hypertension of the territorial rhythms and the existing methods to represent them. From the contribution of Time-geography to the “chronotope” of the istituto politecnico di Milano, studies trying to understand territorial time reveal how hard it is to portray so intangible a phenomenon. Our purpose is to present two innovative methods used in our research to facilitate chronoaménagement and chrono-planning. The first is based on the mapping of time attractors in the revision of the PLU (Plan Local d'Urbanisme) of the city of Niort. The second is based on the development of a serial snapping method destined to capture the subtle evolutions of the customs of a place in order to feed the chrono settlement.

The politics of building and consolidating national identity is a fundamental objective of any identity entrepreneur working within a small, non-sovereign nation such as Quebec. Small non-sovereign nations, which are characterized by a strong sense of nationhood, are likely to venture into the international arena in order to gain recognition for the legitimacy of their aspirations and to find the resources and support they lack within their own borders. Despite this, much of the literature on the subject equates any international action by small, non-sovereign nations with protodiplomacy, in other words, strategies aimed at fostering international recognition for a small, non-sovereign nation seeking secession. This article clarifies the concepts of identity paradiplomacy and protodiplomacy and warns against the pitfalls of methodological nationalism. It also demonstrates that the international actions of small, non-sovereign nations are generally expressed in the register of identity paradiplomacy. It draws mainly on the case of Quebec and provides some elements of comparison.
Keywords: petites nations non souveraines, identité, nationalisme méthodologique, paradiplomatie identitaire, protodiplomatie, Québec comparé, small non-sovereign nations, identity, methodological nationalism, identity paradiplomacy, protodiplomacy, comparative Quebec

This study aims at functionally treating the linguistic aspects of “culturemes” (cultural-specific items) in Le Passé simple by Driss Chraïbi (1954). This linguistic examination will be accompanied by a comparative study of the two translations into Arabic, carried out, respectively, by a Tunisian translator in 1986 and a Moroccan translator in 2012. To test the degree of “relevance” of the strategies adopted by the translators for this cult novel in order to understand the “ethnocentric” practices or the different modifications that Chraïbi subjected both to the multiple cultural signs of Arabic and to the translating language of the Other, which he deliberately seeks to subvert, this paper plans to analyze: (1) the translation difficulties of Koranic intertexts and hadits (words and quotations from the Prophet) which were not, in turn, safe from the said subversive transformations, despite their sacred character, during the writing of the French version and (2) a good number of culturemes drawn by Chraïbi from the Moroccan culture (e.g., lexical borrowings, idiomatic expressions, phrases and proverbs) and the problems of their interpretation and translation into Arabic.

This article analyzes the intricate relations of History and Fiction through Kourouma's novels. It intends to demonstrate the high link between narrative and thematic levels in the novels. On one hand, we show how the unity of Kourouma's work, which is iconoclastic one, is constructed from some contemporary events of african History. On the other hand, contrary to the dogmatic discourses, like colonial discourse, the négritude ideology or the african nationalism, and the historian discourse as the one way of knowlege, the Kourouma's fiction is based on the parody as voice which is process of dismantling those foundational narratives of african doxa.

AbstractThis article examines the notion of heir in Victor-Lévy Beaulieu's voluminous non-fiction work devoted to Melville and Joyce. The heir is defined as neither follower nor successor, but is so completely absorbed in the work and life of his mentors as to become fully part of it. Beyond metatextuality and intertextuality, VLB penetrates their works, thereby transforming literature into a total experience overlaid with the impossible desire of the masterwork, the haunting family (with incest as a core theme) and the failed nation.
