SummaryMemory, particularly childhood memory, is constructed here as a determining element of "selfhood", and therefore of the development of identity and self. According to Dumont's hypothesis on rupture with the past and historical discontinuity in Quebec society, the analytical framework of memory falls within an historical framework characterized by two irreducible temporalities. Faced with an out-of-date past and a true-to-life present, contemporaries are right by the simple fact that they exist in the present time and are therefore at the cutting edge of progress. How can one go from the construction of self to the temporalities of social memory? This paper will use this analytical framework of memory to examine a collection of interviews that normally would not be considered as a memory: the relationship to childhood and how childhood is recounted. The hypothesis that the relationship to one's childhood is first and foremost a question of memory, and even more one of the obliteration of memory, is put foreward.

This article highlights the major elements related to the protean notion of time. The problematic representation of time in Franco-Ontarian literature is questioned. Gilles Lacombe's collection of poems Petites heures qui s'avancent en riant, published in 1998, is further analysed. In the context of specific constructions of time in minority cultures, Gilles Lacombe's work evokes a conception of time that cannot be sacred, fragmented, or resigned.

This paper presents a participative research about the student evaluation of teaching in continuing training programs proposed in a university institute in Switzerland. The research project examines the viewpoints of different stakeholders who are concerned by the programs and its evaluation. Some of these actors are co-authors of this article. The results expose the actors' relationship with the standardized tool used to evaluate lessons. They show different forms of recognition related to the professionalization goal of the training programs. In doing so, the article stresses different collaboration issues developed around the student evaluation of teaching and, more broadly, around the continuing training programs.

This study attempts to show the multiple ways in which the elderly exercise their autonomy through the strategies implemented to meet their needs and to enable them to live where they wish. It is based on the results of research conducted in three regions of Quebec. The autonomy of seniors is examined through their ability to express themselves (judging, deciding, choosing, asking), to do (purchasing, seizing opportunities and disengaging) and to grow and evolve (not remaining trapped by an identity or a story, discovering their abilities, formulating a project, pursuing an aspiration). The links between saying, doing and evolving are also examined. The study thus makes it possible to go beyond functional autonomy and decision-making autonomy to discover other dimensions of autonomy, among them some that are less visible or recognized.

How can a poem be true? This autoethnographic study uses poetic inquiry to explore the boundaries between fiction and reality within poetic experience. A series of poems composed during, and about, the current COVID-19 pandemic, provides a means of understanding the experience of having one’s everyday reality overturned by crisis. A central theme of the author’s poems and accompanying reflections is how art can be used to explore psychological experiences, such as melancholia and depression, and, in turn how the experience of suffering can be used to facilitate artistic expression. Using poetic inquiry, the author examines the complex interplay between speaker and authorial intention, fiction and truth, text and the performance of writing, reading, and poetic interpretation.

The relationship between researcher and subject is a crucial component of any ethnological study. Whether or not this relationship is conducted on the model of certainty of the self vs. the uncertainty of the self and of the relation between the self and the other, the resulting production of distance is a constant in ethnology, anthropology and history as well as in the humanities. In the quest to study the other, it is identity or the knowledge of oneself that is the true goal. The author invokes the epistemological inversion which consists of foregrounding the object of knowledge, the construction of which is then masked by the method within the disciplinary framework. Foregrounding the object of knowledge assumes a disciplinary pluralism whose individual components cannot be unified but only assembled in order to compare perspectives. This is done with the recognition that social knowledge is neither cumulative nor definitive. Rather, the result is a shaky conglomeration of partial knowledges which can only strive toward a more universal goal.

The purpose of this article is to reflect on the methodological specifics of a biographical narrative study conducted with a group of health professionals who work in a pediatric resuscitation and continuous care department of a reference hospital for the care of children, located in the city of Paris / France. This study took place during the years 2018 and 2019 and aimed to understand the construction of the biographical journey of these health professionals, as well as the learning acquired through their lived experiences. Developed using an anthropological grounding approach, the study brought the biographical research approach and ethnography into dialogue. In this article, the methodological choices, the manner of conducting the narrative inquiry in the field, and the process of interpretation and analysis were highlighted in order to weave links between the research and the fields of health and education, which also allowed for reflection on the contributions of narrative inquiry, the social relevance of the biographical approach, and its interdisciplinary nature.

AbstractThis article presents an approach to interpreting the issue of identity in recent Québec films, by showing how identity is mobilized by film makers. Two story structures have a fundamental influence on the imaginary world of Québec films : a hegemonic story of deprivation, of emptiness, the tragic story of a thwarted existence, and a story of plurality, of a positive approach to ambivalence, a story of enchantment with being. The originality and richness of Québec cinema lie precisely within this tension between the two stories that run throughout this cinematography, from the earliest films to the most recent productions. It is thus possible to put forward a few ideas concerning the links that are being created in Québec between identity, politics and temporal references.

This article describes the possible applications of hermeneutics to the information sciences. Following a justification of hermeneutics based on epistomological arguments, the author reviews the following applications: document analysis, the communication of information (reference), hypertext record management and archival assessment. Such a review allows the author to identify what hermeneutics various authors incorporate into their research. In concluding, the author evaluates the pertinence of applying this philosophy to the areas of information science.

Must a strict and rigorous methodology be applied to the humanities and social sciences to ensure they are objective ? In Truth and Method, Gadamer argues that the humanities should be approached differently than the methodological model put forth by natural sciences, which, since the 17th century, has claimed to be the only model capable of discerning the “truth.” For Gadamer, the humanities are best understood when they focus on humanism, the philosophy upon which they are founded ; but this practice is now largely forgotten. This article examines this humanist tradition to better understand the contribution of sociology and the other humanities and to show how the ideal of education and wisdom, as advocated by Gadamer, makes it possible for sociologists to reassess their approach to a subject of study, namely, the human and social world that surrounds us and with which we are engaged.
