This article analyzes and compares representations of the Shoah in the poetic work of a non-Jewish Francophone Quebec writer, Jacques Brault, and two Anglo-Québécois writers of Jewish origin, Irving Layton and Leonard Cohen. Witnessing the Jewish genocide in Europe at one remove, these writers present it indirectly, evoking a complex relationship between feelings of guilt and brotherhood with the victims. The author's purpose is to demonstrate that a process of distancing themselves from their subjects allows Brault, Layton and Cohen to deal with this theme, which has been surrounded by theoretical prohibitions since Adorno's famous statement: “to write poetry after Auschwitz is barbaric”.

Towards the end of the 19th Century, the study of the local, then called “folk-lore”, was defined as a “science of the French people” that allowed for the fabrication of a new facet of the French national identity. Articles by Henri Collet, Mathilde Daubresse, Marguerite Béclard d'Harcourt and Luc Marvy give insight into the place occupied by folklore in the French music press from 1912 to 1935. They illustrate the different ways in which French musicographers approached folklore after the race to collect regional songs. Far from presenting a common front regarding its importance, some subscribe to the ruralist idea that folklore is authentic music that must be saved, while others see it as a potential tool for both musical creation and the definition of a certain nationalism.
