More and more immigrant teachers have found their place in Canadian elementary and secondary schools, notably in francophone Ontario. Some face difficulties to integrate the profession, while those who have been offered a long-term teaching contract deploy considerable efforts to transform this opportunity into a permanent position. Drawing from the results of two qualitative studies conducted with immigrant students enrolled in a teacher training program and immigrant teachers during their professional integration, this article will present the racialized representations of the victim, the foreigner, and the incompetent to which they are subjected. Explanations of and solutions to this phenomenon will also be discussed.
Keywords: immigrant teachers, racialized representations, interculturality, professional integration, enseignants issus de l’immigration, représentations racialisées, interculturalité, insertion professionnelle

Local and regional authorities play an increasingly important role in implementing international development programs. As a result, international cooperation becomes a relevant mechanism/field for researchers and authorities who must generate knowledge to enhance the promotion of local development initiatives. This generation of knowledge is intended to help understand the issues and challenges of inter-national cooperation of local authorities in France and in Canada. To achieve this objective, we conducted a review of the cooperation practices found in various government documents and also analyzed articles and other scientific documents. From this analysis, it was found that in France and Canada, international cooperation of local authorities is not designated by the same concept, is not implemented with the same approaches but pursues the same objectives.

In the area of international environmental agreements, the field of climate change provides the best illustration of the application of the principle of common but differentiated responsibilities. However, it also reveals the difficulties raised by its application. Justice, equity and common but differentiated responsibilities can be claimed by all Parties, sometimes with diametrically-opposed goals. Since the adoption of the Framework Convention (1992) and the Kyoto Protocol (1997), the structure of global carbon emissions has changed considerably, in particular as a result of increased emissions from China. The principle, used as a shield by some and as a foil by others, is currently referred to frequently in difficult « post-2012 » and « post 2020 » negotiations, and its role is gradually changing.

ABSTRACTThis study examines the travertine deposits exposed along the left bank of the Coal River located in southeast Yukon. The main purpose of this project is to gain a better understanding of the genesis of these deposits through their morphological descriptions, which include observations of inherent hydrological and microfacies characteristics. The travertine dams are phytoherms characterized by discontinuous forms. This discontinuous nature is attributed to variations in river discharge. A new form named "inversed corbelling" is identified and corresponds to a growth development in a low energy water. Microscopic analyses distinguish: 1) a Phormidium/ Schizothrix algal faciès, observed on pieces of wood or vase shaped substrates, 2) a glomerulitic fades of supposed bacterial origin, observed on the upstream face of dams, and most commonly, 3) a bryophytic facies observed on dam summits, where vertical growth forms prevail. The most common mosses observed are Brachytecium sp., Bryum sp., Cratoneuron sp. and Gymnostonum recurvirostrum (Hedw.). The phytoherms are placed within the Holocene stratigraphie framework, resulting from the incision of the Coal River into its alluvial deposit. A growth model for phytoherms is proposed. Their vertical growth and the thickening of the downstream face is made especially by encrusting of mosses, and the thickening of their upstream face mainly corresponds to cyano-bacterian fades.

Seventy living historical cities appear on the UNESCO's World Héritage List. Here, each of them is the object of a brief study which situates it in time and space, identifies its major historical milestones as well as originality and describes its essential urban and morphological landmarks. The criteria behind the recognition of these cities, according to the recommendations of the International Council on Monuments and Sites to the UNESCO's World Heritage Council, are also presented.

The digital age offers new possibilities for providing accessible and understandable communications for people with low literacy skills, including those with intellectual disability. However, information designers face several challenges when undertaking such process. This article discusses the Design science approach of an interdisciplinary research team in developing digital information, through the example of videos. During a focus-group discussion, the participants identified facilitators and barriers encountered during the process of video production.

AbstractThe very notion of translation strategies, so popular in Translation Studies, lacks precision, as can be seen in widespread definitions, including those used by the most respectable specialists in the field. The author of this paper suggests returning to the basic meaning of this notion and subsequently, reconsidering its scope.A strategy, the author argues, must be global and conscious. If there is no awareness, there is no strategy, as shown in practice. Translation-writing has sometimes been judged as non-systematic. In fact, at the strategic choice level, there are some conscious and some unconscious factors, which interfere with each other. As a result, a strategic vision is distorted to a degree which remains to be defined in each specific case.The connection of the strategic level with a lower level, that of “techniques” of translation, often designated by “universals,” in which many “figures” are found, is to be studied carefully. However, not every shift in the message deserves to be called a “figure of translation.” For a shift to constitute a “figure of translation,” it is necessary to define its function and the impact it has on the message.

Since the 70s, there is a will to give female musicians visibility and recognition within musical history. If the music composed by women is today subject to feminist's theory, debates and advocacy to push this issue forward, it is surprising that their works are seldom performed in concert in Quebec in terms of number and modality of distribution. Giving the importance of the sociocultural environment, that impact the perceptions on the women composer's capacities, the author offers an analysis of Société de musique contemporaine du Québec (SMCQ), Événements du neuf (E9), Ensemble contemporain de Montréal (ECM+), and Nouvel Ensemble moderne (NEM) concerts produced between 1966 and 2006, which aims to describe the participation of women composers and shed a light on their practices related to the presence of women in concerts. Providing an original contribution to the feminist studies in music, the author describes new music organisms' role by producing thematic concert, commissioning musical pieces and organizing composition contests, and she discusses their limits in women integration.

SummaryThis article examines feminist critiques of modern scientific knowledge on which discourses on development, modernization, and globalization are built. It argues for the importance of cultural narratives in the resistance movement against neoliberalism and to deconstruct the dominant narrative of the World Trade Organization (WTO) on equity, development, stability and democracy. Finally, through two examples of alternative cultural narratives from the debt cancellation movement and the movement for the exclusion of agriculture from the WTO, I analyze the role of the alternative globalization movement, and, in particular, feminist participation in this movement in the promotion of radically different ways of thinking as alternatives to the neoliberal doctrine of free trade.
