AbstractReflections on art and the conditions of its practice in a peripheral environment hold an important place in the essays of Herménégilde Chiasson. For him, art implies a commitment to community, one that forms the basis of his decision to be a provincial artist. The collective project of ensuring the rebirth of Acadia, a project in which the artist is involved, would be meaningless if it were not rooted in his territory of origin. The artist in a peripheral environment experiences a number of dilemmas between leaving or staying, folklore or modernity, universal art or an art connected to distinctive local characteristics, and these dilemmas are “creative paratopias” that nourish his artistic production. The essays make it possible to shed a new light on Herménégilde Chiasson's work as a whole and to gain a better understanding of his underlying motivation.

AbstractThis paper proposes the dictionary entries for eight French vocables that belong to the lexical field of 'nourriture' [='food']: NOURRIR 'feed [trans]', SE NOURRIR 'feed [intrans]', NOURRISSANT 'nourishing', et cetera. The description is carried out within the framework of the Explicative Combinatorial Dictionary of Modern French (ECDMF). Contrary to the position of the extant dictionaries, we claim that the field of 'nourriture' semantically underlies the field of 'aliment' [ = 'foodstuff', 'type of food']. Proceeding from the definitions found in extant dictionaries, we establish fundamental lexical meanings within the 'nourriture' field, point out semantic bridges between lexemes of the same vocable and suggest the order in which the lexemes of the above field should be defined. The impact of our semantic description of SE NOURRIR on the definitions of pronominal verbs in the ECDMF is discussed; certain semantic components used in the proposed definitions are justified.
