The author proposes a reinterpretation of the biblical bitter waters ordeal (Numbers 5: 11-31) within the scope of a feminist ecopolitics of water. She suggests reconceptualizing the bitter waters and their circulation in the biblical text in a non-traditional way, drawing on the empirical and scientific notions of “contamination” and “body burden”. By bringing these concepts into the framework of critical feminist biblical hermeneutics and applying them in the context of water safety, she invites to reconsider how the bitter waters in the text may reveal complex dynamics around gender, power, contamination, and guilt.

This article aims to consolidate the field of the sociology of educational assessment, following the efforts made in this direction in the 1990s. Updating this field is crucial to better understand, among other things, the changes that have occurred in student learning assessment practices following the implementation of the new public management. We offer a literature review of 59 French-language texts maintaining close links with the field of the sociology of educational assessment. Our analysis highlights four categories of sociological issues arising from this literature: 1) the formative function of assessment and the progression of learning; 2) the assessment of an ability to act and the adaptation to complex contexts; 3) the external and standardized evaluation, and the production of measurable results; and 4) the assessment as the materialization of standards of excellence and the democratization of academic success. We conclude with the presentation of research perspectives that would favour the consolidation of this field.

This article aims to articulate sociohistorical and philosophical perspectives on sex education (SE) within the field of education, conceiving its practice in schools as an important part of an ambitious effort to develop individuals into liberal, informed sexual citizens. The article also aims to better understand complications and hindrances to its effective implementation in the current day. As such, we incorporate synchronic and diachronic perspectives on SE in France, the evolution of SE, and the challenges that SE faces. Our analysis takes an intertextual approach, combining institutional texts, scholarly works, and empirical materials from a field survey. Finally, we propose some axiological approaches to SE (the principles and ideas for best administering SE in a contemporary democracy), as well as comprehensive approaches based on SE (what its study reveals more generally about our societies and their schools).

In the four decades in which sexuality education (SE) has existed in Québec, few studies have focused on the possible links between initial training (IT) in SE and other factors, such as individuals' comfort, knowledge and willingness to teach it to future students. In spring 2023, an online questionnaire on this topic received responses from 207 individuals nearing completion of their studies in elementary education. The results show that only three universities offer optional SE courses, and that individuals' comfort, knowledge and willingness regarding teaching SE are correlated; they also show a correlation between individuals' willingness to teach SE and the amount of IT received in terms of number of themes. An IT covering as many of the program's themes as possible proves essential for adequately preparing future teachers.

The first part of this article proposes an philosophical ethics argument demonstrating that the legal conception of individual autonomy in Québec civil law is rooted in a disembodied, rationalist liberalism. This conception does not allow for a conceptual understanding of the gradual and/or partial loss of autonomy and the preservation of residual autonomy in its relational and social context. A relational approach based on the concept of recognition of individual agency is suggested as a way of better grasping these issues. The second part of the article analyzes the reform of legal protection systems for adults, that came into force in November 2022, in the light of this philosophical critique. By failing to call into question the rationalism of the legal conception of autonomy, the successive reforms fail to fully implement the legislator's objectives of safeguarding individuals' dignity and autonomy.

This contribution is based on a doctoral study aimed at identifying the key characteristics of an ecodevice that could effectively integrate education for a sustainable future (ESF) into the practical training of future teachers. A group of thirteen experts—eight from the field of practical teacher training and five from the field of ESF—were consulted as part of this collaborative research. The analysis of individual and semi-structured group interviews, along with feedback gathered during a collaborative electronic forum, led to the identification of five essential components of the ecodevice: knowledge, approaches, support, resources, and transversal elements.

Workplaces have increasingly emphasized creativity, leading to a surge in networking and training activities. Similarly, educational environments are adopting innovative approaches centered on creativity. This article explores the use of a pedagogical tool that leverages affects to develop positive emotions in evaluations, furthering the discussion on creativity. Key concepts such as emotions, feelings, and affects – particularly the notion of endocept in pedagogy – underpin the implementation of ethnographic or autoethnographic methods within a course on cybercultures. In this way, learning strategies emerge, guided by an approach that takes into account the impact of affects. The dual aim of this article is to investigate the epistemology of traces in pedagogy and to mobilize affects and creativity. This approach seeks to discover new pathways for transmitting disciplinary knowledge while valuing each student's voice and experience.

Over the past thirty years, the biomedical world has seen an exponential production of scientific articles with the keyword “spirituality”, as well as the emergence of new spiritual practices. This article presents the results of the SPIPRA research project, which aimed to understand why this new field of research and practice on spirituality has emerged. Based on a comparative France-Quebec-Switzerland survey of 9 emerging spiritual practices, and based on 90 interviews, 5 conceptual categories were identified to best reveal the main differences and similarities of these practices: subjectivization, medicalization, psychologization, integration and theorization. These categories led to an explanatory theorization of this growing biomedical interest for spirituality, as well as a typology of practices.

A pioneer of western Canadian francophone literature, Marie-Joséphine Emma Morrier (née Gravel) was the author of a number of plays, of which the most famous is undoubtedly Bon Sang Ne Ment Pas, which was selected to represent Alberta on the occasion of the 3rd Dominion Drama Festival in Ottawa in 1935. Under the pseudonym of Madrina, Morrier also signed a large number of editorials in Le patriote de l'Ouest and in La survivance. A less well-known fact is that Morrier also wrote a novel. Towards the end of her life, she composed a serialised novel entitled La squaw blanche that was published in the women's section of Droit and then in La survivance. As far as can be ascertained, this biographical novel has never been the object of critical study. The purpose of this article will be to rectify this absence in proposing an analysis of the novel which is attentive both to the question of genre and the representation of femininity that it proposes. Particular attention will be paid to the transgressive nature of this travel narrative that depicts a feminine protagonist.
