Abbé Alphonse-Louis Constant (1810-1875) was a little romantic who developed a Mariology, new for his time, based on a political theology. He held that the French Revolution had opened the way for the era of the Paraclete, which saw the Holy Virgin incarnated in humanity. The Second Coming, which necessitated the earthly establishment of the celestial Jerusalem, could not come to pass without the help of woman, wife and mother of society. This social utopia, supported by an eminently poetic and mystical discourse from a heretic who quickly strayed into occultism, nevertheless foreshadowed the Immaculate Conception dogma of Pius ix and the social doctrine of Leo xiii. By identifying woman's national destiny with the figure of Mary, the author proposes to re-center society on the spiritual authority of woman.

This article investigates the mechanisms which enable reaching a compromise during a companion modeling process. The study is based on the application of companion modeling during the implementation of the meager fishery development plan in Mauritania. The elaboration of fishery development plans is embedded in Mauritanian regulations and imposes consulting local stakeholders before enacting new management rules. The companion modeling process consisted in a set of workshops aiming at building a shared vision of the meager industry and its resources. State agents were involved in this process as well as professionals (wholesalers, ship owners and fishermen) and scientific experts. Several interview campaigns were undertaken to analyze the elaboration of compromises, and workshops were observed and analyzed. Based on the assumption that participatory simulation workshops are key moments, our results show that the mechanisms that favor reaching a compromise during a companion modeling process are : social learning, unveiling, modification of the way actors interact and actors' categorization. This article also investigates the benefits of articulating the elaboration of a usual fishery development plan with a companion modeling process. The latter allows building dialog arena between all stakeholders of the fishing sector. By doing so, it ensures the quality of the deliberation process and favors the acceptance of the plan.

To cope with the COVID-19 pandemic on a global scale, the containment measures and the closure of schools and universities have spawned the use of diversified forms of large-scale distance education in order to ensure pedagogical continuity in new and improvised conditions. In Niger, the Ministry of Higher Education is offering an initiative as an alternative: organizing lessons through social networks WhatsApp and Telegram. These offers did not allow any activity to emerge until the reopening of schools and universities on June 1, 2020. This article analyzes the conditions of the offer and the reasons for the failure to learn lessons and anticipate for promising offers in future crises.

Like other Western societies, the province of New Brunswick has experienced many changes in agriculture over the past 60 years. Despite these changes, including a trend towards agricultural specialization, certain crops continue to shape the New Brunswick landscape. This is the case for berries, which are grown primarily in the Acadian Peninsula. The objective of this article is to illustrate the contribution of berry farming to sustainable territorial development of this region of New Brunswick. Methodologically, the analysis focuses on the three basic components of sustainable territorial development, with notions of governance never far from consideration. The results reveal the undeniable economic contribution of this type of crop. At the same time, conflicts over land-use, regulations and environmental problems are all issues that are not conductive to sustainable territorial development. There is a need to set up collaborative governance with all the actors involved, in particular with official authorities possessing the tools to achieve such an objective.

Acadia, from its initial settlement in 1604 until 1713, was a part of the French colonial empire in North America. By the Treaty of Utrecht most of Acadia with its French population was ceded to the British. The political instability generated by the anomalous position of the Acadians eventually led to their expulsion in 1755. During the 50 years which followed their efforts at repatriation were thwarted and only toward the end of the period did they finally settle in places offering a measure of security. The trends of their migrations over the period are illustrated, as well as their final settlement pattern in 1800.
