In spite of the fact that women have made giant steps in many different fields for the recognition of their equality, genealogy and family history, leisure activities increasing in popularity, remain paradoxically domains submitted to a patriarchal theory and practice. The main reason being the constant orientation on the patronymics inherited from the father figure. Thereby women have no ancestry of their own. This situation perpetuates the non-recognition of the women's importance as mothers by keeping them invisible. This text suggests a feminist critique of the situation, focussing on transmission of family name since the revision of the Civil code of Québec in 1981. Starting from this analysis, I suggest to bring to life the other half of the world of uterine lineage by its uterine pioneer, as well as the uterine ancestry, all of this with the aim of putting as much emphasis on women as on men in genealogy and family history. Few paths within feminist research are suggested to bring this claim forward.

This study began with a few questions : how to favour creativity? Are there tools capable of increasing the innovation process? Can information and communication sciences contribute to this process? After having explored scientific literature, we interrogated some engineers working in chemical and industrial engineering. Strangely, we found some similitudes between the methods used by engineers and the notions used by communicants. In particular, refocusing, as defined by members of an invisible college, seems to be a precious implement when researchers want to innovate in a technical sector, or in a management project. We shall try to demonstrate this thesis by analysing two famous researchers, specialised in innovation: Genrich Altshuller, who invented a method called TRIZ, and Edward de Bono, specialised in lateral thinking.

The St-Jean-de-Dieu Hospital, the responsibility of the religious community of the Sisters of Providence, is of particular interest in the history of the psychiatric revolution in Quebec and the Bédard Report of 1962. The Bédard Report recognized both the critical overcrowding and the financial situation of St-Jean-de-Dieu, although the state of the hospital was already known to the government. This paper proposes studying the different perspectives between the Bédard Report and the recollection of the Medical Committee of St-Jean-de-Dieu Hospital permit us to better nuance recurring themes in the historiography regarding flaws of the psychiatric hospital and severe criticism of the role of the Sisters of Providence.

AbstractA discussion of the relations between canonized and non-canonized literary forms, between 'self and 'other', within the Indian context, leads to a différenciation between the Western tradition of a single dominant literary tradition and the more diverse, and inclusive, parallel and multiple traditions of India. At the origin of such traditions, and holding them together long enough to permit cross fertilization, are acts of translation, merging sign systems and forming a community of 'translating consciousness' where several languages are used simultaneously and are parts of a larger, continuous spectrum. Translation in such a multilingual context plays a fundamental role, transforming and revitalizing original texts.
