A major migration hub of the Americas, Mexico is increasingly a host country for millions of migrants from Central America and elsewhere, while gripped by violence and poverty, the country itself is a one of exodus. Already underway in Europe in response to tighter border controls, the debate on hospitality in Mexico provides an opportunity to question some of its key assumptions. Jointly examining the historical development of spaces dedicated to foreigners in Mexico (hospices, shelters, detention centers, etc.) and the socioeconomic determinants of migration, this article shows the link between the marginality of hospitality institutions and their subaltern class character. In doing so, I explore the link between hospitality and the ethics of care and question its political potential.

This article examines the influence of Canada's conditional hospitality policy on the strategies for accessing permanent residency developed by Mexican asylum seekers in 2022 and 2023. Based on semi-structured interviews with eight Mexican asylum seekers and extracts from the Canadian government's official discourses, the analysis shows that Canadian hospitality policy is perceived by the participants as a two-stage immigration system in which temporary status represents a “probationary period” for permanent integration. The strategies developed by the participants thus reveal a complex process of negotiation, which aims to gain recognition for both their need for protection and their ability to contribute economically to the host society.

Les expériences de soin vécues par les infirmières de soins intensifs auprès des patients cérébrolésés et de leurs proches alors que l’arrêt de traitement devient une option confrontent les infirmières à des défis qui surgissent particulièrement lors de l’instauration de la relation de soin, infirmière-patient, et lors de la mise en action de leur rôle d’avocate. Parmi les théories en sciences infirmières, celle du Human Caring de Watson (1979/1985/2008/2012) positionne la relation avec le patient, une relation transpersonnelle, comme un idéal moral. Dès lors, lorsqu’elles sont confrontées à des défis pour développer cette relation, les infirmières remettent en question tant leur pratique, que la conception qu’elles ont de la nature du soin, centre d’intérêt de leur discipline. Toutefois, à ce jour, très peu d’études ont …

This article examines the narrative and enunciative strategies employed in Tierno Monénembo's novel Un rêve utile to portray an ongoing traumatic memory. The study reveals that the narration presents a fractured, blocked, repetitive, and intrusive memory, highlighting the image of a narrator tormented by the memory of his father's hanging during the dictatorship of “Boubou Blanc” in a country called “Gui...”. Confronted with the challenges of truth, justice, and the “duty of memory,” Monénembo aims, through this work, to unveil the dark side of the First Republic of Guinea and symbolically render justice to the victims of the dictatorship by honoring their memory.

In 2020, the National Consultative Commission on Human Rights noted significant issues with the child protection system in France, including inconsistencies between departments, that undermine the defence of children's rights. For instance, ensuring that young people enjoy the right to take charge of their own stories has not been a priority for French child protection services, despite the guarantees provided in Article 7 of the International Convention on the Rights of the Child and recent commitments by French political authorities. In this context, how should the issue be addressed through the practice of social work? How can family support workers guide the young people they work with in writing their life stories? How do foster children experience the process? We explore these questions through a preliminary analysis of the results of a mixed methodology research study on the life narratives of foster children. Responses to a questionnaire distributed to 250 family support workers and data collected during 15 interviews point to difficulties with putting stories into words, given the complexities associated with the construction and transmission of foster children’s life narratives. The results highlight how the opportunity to discuss their lives with family support workers helps children put their life stories into written form and adopt a narrative identity capable of overcoming difficult memories, unspoken truths, and institutional ignorance.

The discipline of history, probably more than the other disciplines in the humanities, has had to struggle with the postmodern challenge. After a necessarily short and simplified overview of the various thoughts on the impact postmodernism has had upon the historical discipline, this paper addresses a problem rarely raised in the philosophy of history, but which has been set out with a renewed acuteness by postmodernism: not the practical, but the theoretical and discursive relation historians have with their own knowledge, i.e. the epistemological exercise. I argue that while, for a long time, historians have applauded the epistemological exercise's absence in their discipline, the postmodern challenge has led many of them to object to it. It is indeed the way historians relate to epistemology that has been deflected under the impulse of postmodernism. Beyond this major discursive deflection, I conclude that it would be relevant to reflect further on the purposes and the ends of the epistemology within the historical discipline. This reflection, in turn, invites us to rethink the old and thorny question of the fraught relationship between history and philosophy.
