2020 marks the centenary of Boris Vian's birth, and the celebrations around this event have emphasized the ways in which the name Vian hides a multifaceted oeuvre grounded in the use of multiple signatures. The dawn of Vian's second century also coincides with the rapidly increasing availability of digital tools and methods enabling us to approach and analyze texts in a new light, and to explore aspects of Vian's work that had until now been entirely speculative. We propose to harness these methods to offer new avenues to shed light on the founding idea of multi-authorship in Vian's oeuvre.

RÉSUMÉ: Malgré un marché éditorial en pleine croissance, la bande dessinée demeure encore grandement méconnue. En contexte scolaire, le constat n'est guère différent, même que celle-ci continue d'être peu exploitée comme lecture en classe. Tout en essayant de contribuer à modifier positivement les perceptions négatives entretenues à son égard, cette recherche vise à faire la démonstration que la bande dessinée peut être utilisée adéquatement à titre d'auxiliaire pédagogique dans l'enseignement du français au Québec. Pour ce faire, une séquence didactique alliant la lecture de bandes dessinées et l'écriture de nouvelles littéraires a été créée autour de la série Paul de Michel Rabagliati. Deux prototypes ont été expérimentés auprès d'élèves de quatrième secondaire dans le cadre de cette recherche. Les hypothèses de travail supposaient entre autres …

With a global focus on dropping out prevention in primary schools, the present study analyses the highlights of a multimodal workshop experiment that blended in-class reading of multimodal texts (graphic novels) to the development of social skills. For now, this article focuses only on reading. Graphic novels workshops, based on explicit teaching of reading comprehension, aimed at children's enhancement of global reading strategies, self-cognition and inferential skills. In order to reach that goal, results (pre and post) from an experimental group of 6th grade children (N = 52) were compared to those of a control group (N = 47). When comparing groups means, the statistical test showed no effect of the intervention on students' reading skills. However, additional analysis shed new light on the differences between groups. After the treatment, an important number of students from the experimental group (50%) reported feeling more skilled when reading graphic novels, more able to understand what they read, to make inferences, and to better use pictures.

The last twenty years have seen serial killers become part of American culture, with Charles Manson,Ted Bundy WiliamGacy, Hannibal Lecter and others of their ilk joining Dracula, Frankenstein and Hitler as icons of evil. This article traces the emergence in American media culture of various aspects of the morbid fascination with serial killers : a cocktail of sex, violence and death. Yellow journalism, true crime books, thrillers, comic books, movies and television have been willing panders to this singular preference, a preference destined to reach its climax in the mid90s with the proliferation of Internet sites. The recent appearance of a new star, the "profiler" - a species of vampire slayer, as it were - signals, however, an emerging backlash to this escalation of violence.
