This historiographical review essay focuses on two approaches that have informed explorations of the history of religion in Quebec since the 2000s : 1) the « new sensibility » and 2) the social history of Christianity. Researchers associated with the « new sensibility » have challenged the notion of the Catholic Church as simply being an obstacle to the realization of « modernity » in Quebec. Meanwhile, historians associated with the social history of Christianity seek to place the Churches and their institutions at the very heart of the liberal world. After reviewing their respective historiography, the article critically examines these two trends by exploring them from the perspective of ethical, critical and national frame of analysis.

In 2015, a ceremony was held in a long-term care center in Quebec City, in memory of the residents who had passed away over the course of the last year. This event was the occasion to observe firsthand the creation of a new ceremony for the dead, from conception to performance. The study of the broad characteristics of the ceremony, the sequences and the steps, the acts performed and the words spoken, as well as the symbols manipulated, offers the opportunity to investigate the relations with death and the dead, but also the way in which a long-term care center represents itself.

The “denarrativization” of Céline's writing in the German trilogy allows him to write a History of chaos, to achieve an infra-writing of History steeped in the commonplace, to give voice to the “non-tellable.” This study explores how a literary writing of history (and the concomitant reading thereof) makes it possible to at once recount History in another way, to tell a story different from the official historiography, and finally to recount something other than history.

The process embodied in Gilles Cyr's early collections has often been compared to that of the phenomenologist. Sol inapparent and Ce lieu showed an observer who jettisoned every concept as he confronted the elements in the nakedness of the perceptive experience. This article seeks not to challenge this interpretation but to refine it and, particularly, to show how Cyr's later works distance themselves from any “serious” attempt to “return to things themselves,” as various twists of discourse create a new relationship between observation and speech. Instead of presenting a subject attempting to go back to the sources of his being-in-the-world, these poems introduce an individual who is called on to get by in a universe of forces on which he has a limited point of view, and who acknowledges the situation and deals with it using a good dose of scepticism and irony.
