AbstractLouise Bogan joked that in a former life she had been “Felicia Hemans.” A lush Romantic and an austere Modernist, Hemans and Bogan appear polar opposites, yet these learned women poets shared a laureate poetics of Love and Fame. Hemans alludes directly to Petrarch's laureate triumph in “The Magic Glass”; in poetry and prose she portrays the difficult laureateships of Sappho and Tasso. Both Hemans and Bogan seemed laureates to their contemporaries and successors, yet both found laurels an ambiguous donnée, Bogan a “burden” among flowers, Hemans a fiery crown for the likes of “the Bride of the Greek Isle.” Petrarch gained his laurels in a formal triumph at Rome, a scene mandating abjuration and entailing defeat. His I trionfi enacted triumph and its reversals in a sequence mounting from Love to Chastity, Death, Fame, Time, and Eternity. Bogan's laurels were similarly fugual, a “subtle wreath” combining “the line of feeling” of “sentimental” women's poetry with “the line of thought” in masculine Metaphysical Modernism. The poems of Bogan and Hemans that most vex critics – Bogan's life-denying “Henceforth, from the Mind,” Hemans's fame-abjuring “Corinne at the Capitol” – read differently as Petrarchan triumphs, that is, as abjurations signaling fresh triumphs to come.

AbstractThis article examines the printed media's coverage of child maltreatment and child protective services in the province of Quebec. Two questions are examined : What is the scope of this coverage? How are child maltreatment and child protective services presented? In order to do so, the content of the province's main daily newspapers has been analysed for a period of 24 months. This has led to the constitution of two datasets (N = 1211; N = 451). The first one has allowed us to identify trends in the number of articles published over time as well as statistical relationships between the number of articles published and specific news events. The second dataset was used for a more in-depth content analysis of news stories. Findings reveal that child maltreatment is the object, in Quebec as elsewhere, of an important amount of media coverage. This coverage has been found to over represent the least frequent types of child maltreatment and, overall, to provide a rather neutral assessment of child protective services.

In English-language studies on youth and women, a new concept is emerging: sexual agency. While the term is rarely used in informal English, it appears even less frequently in French. Sexual agency refers to one's capacity to be in control of one's sexuality, or the capacity to take charge of one's own body and sexuality. The concept considers women and girls as agents able to act and make decisions, rather than potential victims of masculine desire. From this viewpoint, it could help break the deadlock in which the hypersexualization discourse has found itself. This article offers a review of diverse key articles on the subject in an attempt to define the concept in terms that make it useful for research on teenage girls' and young women's sexuality. It also proposes ways to operationalize it.

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.

This article questions personal and collective dimensions of the appropriate processes of digital technologies used by teachers, students, and families by focusing on the evolution of their digital practices during the COVID-19 lockdowns of 2020 to 2022 in France. A qualitative approach by ethnographic interviews and participant observations supplements the quantitative data collected from five surveys. The results present different dynamics of appropriation and question the relationships between the different actors. By studying the uses of digital technologies, we can grasp the three essential dimensions of the total social fact: its historical depth, particularly at the level of techno-imaginaries; the weak signals that emerge from numerous usage studies; and finally, the psychodynamic transformations, both individual and collective, in the construction of social norms for the use of digital technology, particularly noticeable in education since the pandemic. These works shed light on and question the representations, uses, and imaginaries linked to digital technology in education and, in particular, the very questionable notion of “digital native”. The analysis of the weak signals and the psychodynamic transformations at work during lockdowns attests to a contagion of parental divestiture vis-à-vis digital technology toward educational divestiture and calls for collective reorganisation.

The role of culture in urban regeneration should be studied at different levels. Cultural mapping gives us a new understanding of the historical processes that have transformed public spaces in cities whose productive models and social relationships have undergone critical changes, affecting how they project their identity inside and outside their boundaries. Our research focuses on the case study of Bilbao (Basque Country, Spain). The first part of the analysis centres on a critical interpretation of the importance granted to cultural infrastructures in areas that were most intensely exposed to the changes which are known as the ‘Guggenheim effect’ on the international scene. This study especially examines the tension between today’s transformations and managing memories from the past. The second part analyses cultural mapping practices developed in emerging areas of the city such as the Zorrotzaurre peninsula, which is the new focus of the metropolitan development scheme. The proposals chosen for this study foster democratic responsibility in city management by using new technologies. They enable us take a closer look at some of the city’s most innovative collaborative cultural mapping practices, methodology and processes, as well as the theoretical frameworks that inspired them. Lastly, a proposal is put forth to implement participatory cultural mapping to identify the spillover effects of the cultural and creative industries located in renewed urban spaces.

In 2021, Halfbreed (Sudbury, Prise de parole) by Maria Campbell, an essential autobiographical text in Canadian Indigenous literatures, initially published in English in 1973, was released in French translation for the first time. Drawing on non-Indigenous feminist theories of the ethics of care, this article analyzes vulnerability in a subversive way. It makes the hypothesis that paying attention to Métis personal stories allows us to deconstruct hierarchical relationships imposed by colonialism and to understand the role of storytelling in the restitution of Indigenous knowledge.
