This article explores the fact that the film How Not to Be Seen: A Fucking Didactic Educational .MOV File, beyond its absurd and humorous appearances, offers a reflection on two emerging concepts in video art, that of the threshold of visibility and the inforensic. To do this, the author traces the origin of the assembled images and problematizes their attachment to the histories of surveillance photography and cartography. He also examines the symbolic and metaphorical references which indicate the exchanges between the real and the virtual worlds.

One of the demands of the Quebec section of the World March of Women in the Year 2000 was the restoration of a universal family allowance, while, at the same time providing a supplement large enough to cover all the basic needs of the children belonging to the poorest families. This article first describes a series of reforms carried out during the 1990s, reforms whose effect was to reduce monetary support to all of Quebec families. In addition, because of repeated cuts to social assistance and other programs targeted to the disadvantaged, it was the poorest families who suffered the largest reductions in income, while the rich benefited from significant tax cuts. The article then develops a proposal designed to translate the demand of the women's movement into a concrete program with a view to reducing income inequalities and to re-establish, at least partially, the standard of living which low and middle income families enjoyed in 1994.

With this text, I would like to reflect on the opening up of a cognitive space that would allow full acceptance, within literary and artistic theory, of narrative works created in Sign Languages. The text proposes the development of a descriptive theory of the work of art and its reception as a political gesture, which would enable us to respond to Rada Iveković's invitation to translate against violence.
