AbstractThis article proposes to analyze the scope and function of daily life in Élise Turcotte's minimalist novel, Le Bruit des choses vivantes. Rather than considering daily life as a privileged object of fiction focusing on the private world, we will ask how daily life is constructed, and how its value is emphasized, in the novel. Conversely, we will see how the novel's narrative development uses daily life as its basis. The goal is to take a second look at what may be a too-facile equation between daily life, the fiction of the private world, and minimalism. While attempting to identify more clearly the narrative issues associated with daily life, we will attempt to determine what defines the “minor key” in this novel.

The Cercle Récamier, founded in Montreal in 1930 by Gabrielle Valois- Hébert, brings together women with a passion for, among others, literature, history, music and travel. The notebooks of minutes they leave are the only tracks that provide access to this form of sociability, to books and authors that are the subject of their studies and to the writing practices and dissemination of knowledge of these women. The first six notebooks written by the Cercle Récamier are a source of unique feminine writing practice, collective, yet private, but little studied until now.

The main objective of this research is to examine the effects of establishing a company in a science park on its innovation process. This exploratory research is based on a qualitative study conducted with 12 respondents established in science parks in the province of Quebec. The results of this research have enabled to not only advance knowledge on the effects of science parks for the development of innovation, but also on the effects of each of the phases of the simplified innovation process: conception phase, implementation phase, and marketing phase. From a managerial point of view, business managers can better understand these effects and thus take them into account in their decisions when developing products or technologies.
