AbstractCurrent literature indicates that the use of substances such as drugs and alcohol, particularly by youths, can lead to a state of vulnerability propitious to sexual assault, but that it is alcohol that has generally been linked to abuse. However, lack of recollection that can result from excessive consumption has been portrayed in the media as an effect of “date rape drugs”, such as GHB. Studies also suggest some links between rape myths acceptance and sexual assault. Therefore, the goals of the current study were to verify the perceptions held by college level students from the Montreal area in regards to substances linked to sexual assault. Possible relations between the existing rape myths and the frequency of substance abuse leading to amnesia were also explored. According to the youths who participated in the current study, GHB represent the drug most often linked to rape, even if alcohol was also identified. Moreover, results revealed that the group of youths who acknowledged often forgetting parts of an evening due to excessive use of drugs or alcohol tended to hold a greater amount of false beliefs regarding rape, in comparison to the others. Among our recommendations, we should explore the links between substance use and sexual assault to establish a causal relation between the two factors. Also, it would be beneficial to include information regarding the use of substances within the sexual assault prevention programs.

Abstract The prevalence of tobacco use in addiction treatment environments is very high, generally exceeding three-quarters of the clientele. In view of the particularly harmful effects on health of associating alcohol, drugs and tobacco, it is possible, beneficial and even necessary to include a smoking cessation intervention in addiction treatment centres. However, this type of service is practically non-existent in Canada and Quebec. This article looks at the elements that contribute to this situation and proposes various solutions to establish such a service. Examples of implementing a smoking cessation program in an addiction treatment centre in Quebec are presented.

The theme of sport has long remained an unexplored field of study – even, in fact, a “sub-culture” – due to its minimally “scientific” nature, its grassroots connotation and association with everyday life. However, sport and culture remain intrinsically linked because the former reveals specific facets of a society which fashions it and enables one to analyze the foundations and the evolution of our society. The study of sport heritage and the framing as heritage of sporting practices appears as new object for study, shedding light on the process whereby these cultural expressions are transmitted in time and space. These games or traditional sports become rooted in modernity through their development technically, institutionally and structurally, while, at the same time, expressing the values recognized by UNESCO in terms of the intangible cultural heritage.

This article is an analysis of articles about political actions by women and those who concern the " condition of women " in two journals where we find the ideas of Quebec intellectuals during the sixties : Cité libre and l'Action nationale. Now, political gestures by women are numerous during this decade. This research suggests the political invisibility of women during the Quiet revolution which infers difficulty for women, to participate in the public sphere, and reticence, from the elites, to consider feminism as a political movement.

AbstractEcofeminism as a melting of ecology and feminism, was first introduced by Françoise d'Eaubonne in 1972. According to the essential thesis of ecofeminism women and nature are both victims of the men domination. Then, any ecological revolution could not be achieved without a previous feminist revolution insofar as feminism is the only solution to the men domination on nature and women.Ecofeminism was then improved by Anglo-saxon feminists who added to it a politic facet and let it become a tool of the social claim.

The indigenous women's movement in Mexico emerges from the debates around self-determination during the 90s. This movement is constituted by the elaboration of a new discourse, which integrates women's rights with indigenous rights of autonomy. The author exposes the mobilization's trajectory of indigenous women and the constitution of a specific discourse characterized by the re-appropriation of autonomous demands from a gender perspective. She analyzes how this discourse makes possible the emergence of an indigenous women's movement and how it represents an alternative to the dichotomy between women's rights and peoples collective rights, seen as incompatible by the actors involved in the debate.

AbstractInvited by ACSALF to present a perspective on the current issues and renewals of sociology and anthropology, I have excluded from the start any attempt to survey the field, to compare, or to make a show of erudition on everything that has been published on this theme. I have preferred to adopt a critical perspective on any form of knowledge that makes truth claims in the form of representations, on any form of knowledge posed as a “voice-over” claiming to hold the truth of the human subjects it discusses. I am appealing to “half-truths” to evoke human complexity, just in case we kept the misguided hope of reducing human societies to overly clear truths.

AbstractIn this article, I argue for the positivity of shame, which is to say that shame produces effects that must be understood as simultaneously cultural, social, psychological and physiological. In turn this demands new ways of representing anthropological experience. I enlist ideas developed by Bourdieu and Mauss, and extend them through a consideration of other writers, fictional and academic. I argue for the necessity of telling stories and telling them differently if we are to be up to the challenges of shame.

Two hundred years later, the French Revolution lives on on our screens in films, docu-dramas, TV series and video games. Representations of the past are part of an iconographic and fictional tradition that can be traced back. In fact, there are contemporary mythologies of the Revolution in the forms, motifs and current discourse that authors project onto this period. In return, these fictions feed a social imagination that clashes with the work of historians.We therefore propose to use contemporary mythologies to conduct a genealogy of the image. More specifically, we will take a look at the TV series La Révolution (Molas and Guasti, Netflix, 2020) to understand the artistic and cultural roots of this work. The series recounts the fantastical origins of the Revolution, which is said to have been caused by a virus called “Sang bleu”, spread by aristocratic vampires. The French series is said to be the transposition of a Japanese manga into a revolutionary background. To grasp all the authors' inspirations, we will draw on design sources such as interviews and reviews.In this way, we want to show that La Révolution is an adaptation of literary motifs that appeared at the end of the eighteenth century, on which other, more recent inspirations have been superimposed. The series is not a new script, but part of an old, ideologically-oriented fictional tradition. We will use contemporary mythologies of the French Revolution (violence, fascination with the guillotine, eschatological iconography, teleologism) to carry out this genealogy.
