The Grim Reaper, one of the thanatic images of western iconography, has often been used in artistic and cinematographic creation. It has also been the subject of a humorous reinterpretation, which will be explored in this paper using contemporary examples (movie, cartoons and drawings available on the Internet). The analysis highlights scenographic and discursive strategies to create humorous effects (incongruity, aggressiveness, quid pro quo, etc.) that aim to humanize death by exploring the stakes and dilemmas that the Grim Reaper encounters in its existence and role.

The article tries to demonstrate that cartography can create mythologies about Africa that can be defined 'of return', that is, created by western people and transferred into the project of the colonies, as if they were African qualifies. The first mythology makes Africa a territory rich in resources and possibilities of exploitation; the second considers Africa as a land that must be developed according to a colonialist perspective, as it seems empty of social and political meaning. The analysis of the cartographic language of the maps published in the geographical reviews at the beginning of colonialism in French Western Africa (AOF) shows that, through the semiotic mechanisms concerning the basic designators, the territory produced by the local populations had no importance. The mythologies 'of return', created by cartography, are not only undeserved attributions, but also means which can exclude a reality, a basic identity, that exactly on the territory and through the territory could have been recovered.
Keywords: cartographie coloniale, Afrique, sémiotique cartographique, mythologies de retour, toponymes basiques, colonial cartography, Africa, semiotics of cartography, mythologies of return, basic designators

Un demi-siècle de recherches uqamiennes sur le journalisme : état des lieux et perspectives d’avenir
More informationThis article draws a map of UQAM research on journalism. We first return to the beginnings of journalism teaching in the 1970s, until the official creation of a full-fledged undergraduate degree in journalism in 1995. We then carry out a review of the research literature in four sectors: research on content and representations; those on the conditions of production of information and on journalistic practices (the political economy of journalism); those on power relations between journalists and their sources; and finally the investigations of reflective practitioners. We conclude that the UQAM journalism studies are rich, plural and diverse on the one hand, and relatively dispersed on the other, and that it would be relevant to encourage more dialogue between teaching and research, but also between researchers.
