AbstractWho are young people in the street ? Do they represent a disadvantaged class, youth in difficulty, new ways of growing up in a society where uncertainty, performance and marginality reign ? This article seeks to demonstrate that street experiences, if they are not random, are not simply the result of social determinism either. Analysis of the trajectories of young people in downtown Montreal shows that traditional factors of social differentiation (family social class, sex, age, and so on) are only partial explanations for the life course and experience in the street. It is also necessary to take into account the mechanisms of inclusion and exclusion to which young people are subjected by a society that wants to get them off the street. If street experiences appear as young people's response to societal transformations that have altered access to adult life in major ways, mechanisms of representation and social regulation still construct young people in the street as a “dangerous” social class.

In this paper, the author first argues that the fact that local authorities have referred to street gangs in an overly broad and overly narrow manner has led to the multiplication of punitive normative systems to deal with street gangs, including the combined action of the following three systems: criminal law, regulatory criminal law and immigration law, and led to an expansion of the repressive field. In turn, the concurring action of these three normative systems has had dramatic consequences for the communities in which street gangs are potentially active, exacerbating the tensions with State's representatives, feeding into stereotypes, contributing to maintain the precarious conditions of the community members and creating further youth delinquency.

In this article, the authors discuss the difficulties and opportunities of psychiatric training in an urban setting. Based on the example of Montréal, they ponder the interest and the relevance of this contextual framework for the training of future psychiatrists and other mental health professionals, regardless of the nature and location of their practice after their residency. The authors examine the advantages of this teaching environment and how to overcome its limits.

The increased prominence of the pornography industry, as well as the growth of amateur pornography as it is channeled through the Internet has certainly influenced the representation of the sexual body. For the past fifteen years or so, almost all the representation of sexuality in visual arts have exhibited features or have employed strategies typical of pornography. Some of these productions, the work of Natacha Merritt, for example, blur the frontiers between art and pornography to a point where distinctions are almost impossible to discern. Other work, from artists such as Elinor Carucci or Geneviève Cadieux, present the off-camera aspects of pornography. In both cases, the presence of pornography is undeniable and confirms that it acts as the basis of a new normative representation of sexuality. Moreover, by further pushing the expectations of sexual photography through the practice of linking it with pornography, these works tackle the body with no compromise and no modesty. This article analyses the extent to which natacha02_t by Natacha Merritt, Making Love, by Elinor Carucci and Loin de moi, et près du lointain by Geneviève Cadieux adopt and diverge from the pornographic codes and meanings vis-à-vis the sexual norms employed by the industry.
