AbstractThe feminization of migration is one of the phenomena that characterize the contemporary globalization and it is present in Canada and Quebec. This phenomenon affects all ethnic groups and social classes, professionals and nonprofessionals. However there exist few studies on the process of insertion and the living conditions of migrant women who have acquired an academic degree prior to their arrival. The lack of information about Latin-American women graduates is surprising, especially because such immigrants have been received in Canada since 1968. To fill that void, this article proposes to document, with two ethnographic studies, who these women are and what are their social conditions. We also discuss about the problems they must face during recycling in the academic world, and the problems they have to fit on the work market in the pluriethnic society of Montreal after obtaining their degree.

ABSTRACTA high density of organic palsas and mineral palsas were observed in the vicinity of Kuujjuaq. They occur on HoIocene marine silry clays uplifted by postglacial isostatic rebound. Comparison of air photos taken in 1948 and 1974, and field investigation show both a widening of thermokarstic lakes by lateral fusion of ground ice and the emerging of some lake bottoms by formation of new segregation ice. Stratigraphie evidence from a cross-section dug in a mineral palsa composed of sandy-gravelly deposits indicates that this palsa has partially collapsed due to the melting of ice, probably during the climatic warming towards 1800 A.D. An adjacent organic palsa, almost identical in its shape, developped in sandy-gravelly sediments topped by peat layers. The sedimentation took place from 2340 BP through 620 BP after which the organic palsa began to grow. Thermokarstic degradation of the studied mineral palsas leave an annular ridge due both to slumped material and tilted sediments during growth.

AbstractThe article proposes first a definition and a characterization of the topos within the framework of interpretive semantics, where it is assimilated to a socio-normed semantic structure comprising the sub-component of the thematic called topic; then a formalism representing semantic structures in general and topoï in particular, semantic graphs (inspired by the conceptual graphs of Sowa); and finally a representation and study of the topos which we shall call “the scorned poet”. The graph-type which we are proposing is in fact a generalization of this topos: among other modifications, through it the poet becomes an exceptional individual and his poetic production a positive message to the collectivity. This generalization allows us to show the transversal, transhistoric, transcultural, transdiscursive — in fact cross-pollinated and cross-pollinating — nature of the topos, which covers not only literary (Baudelaire, Hugo, etc.) but also religious (the Bible), philosophical (Plato), and lyrical (Aznavour) occurrences, among others. The topic study envisioned here consists of establishing the relationship between the topos-type and the different topoï-occurence which display it.
