Images are ubiquitous in the everyday lives of twenty-first century students. But do these students, boys and girls, know how to use them? Although school programs seem to emphasize the importance of "image education", several studies show that in many classrooms, images are still relegated to the role of in-text illustrations. This article describes a project set up in a fifth-grade class in Montreal in 2015. During the study, we offered students a series of activities, taking advantage of a particular type of image: the photograph. We chose to use the photograph in three ways: as a historical source, as evidence of research on the history of the neighbourhood, and finally as a way to capture the students' initial understandings of the concept of ‘heritage'. This last approach led us to observe that, for these students, heritage is understood to consist of inscriptions and architectural items that they understand as "old".

This article focuses on sex, gender and sexuality in Julie Doucet's work, and more specifically on various phenomena linked to transtextuality, which refers to changes in sex/gender occurring through the magic of the text alone. Doucet's work is populated by female characters who lose their breasts, others who grow penises, who sometimes but not always become men, and male characters who have their penises cut off or are given female genitalia. This is sometimes done against a backdrop of violence, but Doucet's caricatured, dreamlike world plays it down. These transtextual effects can also be read as a commentary on the multiple gender disorders our societies are experiencing.

This article is interested in beer advertising campaigns published in various newspapers and magazines in the 1920s in the province of Quebec, a post-war period marked by economic prosperity and the development of mass consumption. We show how advertising agents used the dominant discourses on masculinity and femininity that circulated during this decade to embellish the image of this product and to create a link with the consumer. We also support the assumption that gender, and more specifically the dominant discourse of masculinity, strongly influenced the construction of the different beer advertising campaigns during the 1920s ; the culture of alcohol, but especially that of beer, was a male bastion which tended to resist the integration of women and femininity.

In recent years, in Canada, there has been the production of aboriginal graphic novels which intend to act as agents of socio-cultural transformations. Each in their own way, The 500 Years of Resistance Comic Book (Hill 2010) and Innu Meshkenu: Tracer son chemin (Couture, Duquette and Lemieux 2014) both aim to encourage empowerment of their indigenous readers as well as deconstruct the stereotypical view of their non-indigenous readerships. This article presents a theoretical and conceptual perspective on the educational potential of aboriginal graphic memories in terms of cultural education and empowerment purposes.
