Released in 2009, Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds1 is representative of a recent trend of multilingual films in Hollywood. The inclusion of one or several languages other than English can be problematic for dubbing translators when the films is exported. The comparison between the original version of Inglourious Basterds and its French dubbed version offered in this article brings to light a number of translation issues. The idea of the codified relationship with the audience leads us to explore notions of conventions, contrivances, and suspension of disbelief, whether in the native language or original subtitling included in the American version. Dubbing is not only translating, it raises the issue of the texture of the original voices, especially in a film preoccupied with accents. Finding French voices with an equivalent texture but which are also plausible for the audience is a challenge that the dubbing team must meet. Finally, the vital importance of languages in the narrative and thematic construction of Tarantino's film result in the inevitable loss due to the dubbing process. This article is not an attack on the dubbing process, but an attempt to interrogate its complexity and determine its role.

The following describes an intervention in the game Counter-Strike : Global Offensive, entitled Beckett Spams Counter-Strike - by intervention we mean a form of artistic performance and political action that enters and occupies, or “intervenes,” in an already existing environment, institution, and ordered space. The description is interrupted or broken by “signed” remarks from the “players” – the actors, gamers, writers, and artists participating in the project – as we try to make sense of our failure or success at staging Beckett's play and (or ?) playing Counter-Strike, a failure best described as the collapse of theater and game. Furthermore, the description is interrupted or upstaged by excerpts from our performances. Developed over multiple years by a team at West Virginia University, the intervention into the game led to several performances, treating the game as a site of philosophical and pedagogical investigation into purpose and violence. We use the term “intervention” in a particular way to classify actions that cross between gameplay, agitprop political theater, and artistic performance.

SummaryQuebec Catholicism has become discrete. Although the level of practice has become lower and lower, Catholicism represents an undeniable cultural reality. The author, while presenting the empirical data available in this regard, both qualitative and quantitative, attempts a reinterpretation of contemporary history. He discovers a many-faceted popular Catholicism: involvement at the base, religious effervescence, emotional communion, affirmation of universal values, explosion of the imaginary. This Catholicism often transgresses the institution which gave birth to it. The latter, however, although grappling with its own quest for identity, remains the natural referent in the quest for meaning of the very great majority of citizens.

Certain constitutional guarantees are now clearly available to corporations, under the Canadian Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms, in the areas of Fundamental Freedoms and Legal Rights. Ambiguous terminology in the provisions dealing with Mobility and Equality Rights leaves the status of corporate applicants uncertain. The rationale of Big M may guarantee constitutional protection to corporations as indirect beneficiaries of rights to which they have no direct access. Whereas in the case of the Canadian Charter, responsability for the clarification of the scope and thereby of the political and social impact of the guarantees is likely to remain with the courts, an alternative solution may be available in Quebec. Clarification and/or reconsideration of the objectives of the Quebec Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms, as they are defined through the identification of its beneficiaries, could take place in the context of general constitutional review.

SummaryTo what extent can we logically speak of the secularity of contemporary global societies? Do they, like others, not need master myths enabling them to ensure their imaginary coherence in light of what would otherwise be perceived as chaos? Exploring the Durkheimian logic of these issues, the author uses Peter Berger's concept of religion, according to which religion represents «the establishment, through human activity, of a sacred order encompassing all reality, i.e., of a sacred cosmos which will be able to maintain its permanence in the face of chaos.» With this he attempts to uncover the traces of such a sacral cosmology, effacing the religious/secular disjunction, in contemporary beliefs and rituals which have been extricated from the framework of traditional religions. He thus discovers the complex configuration of a relationship to the world which, while intended to be completely secular and autonomous vis-à-vis religious meanings that continue to be circulated in society, fulfills the role played by the latter when they were able to provide a framework for global societies. This role is not found in the confession of a particular meaning, but in the implicit apprehension of an inherent meaning in the very order of the world, a meaning which need not be stated for it to be imposed.

AbstractThis article examines what Hegel's political philosophy might have to offer to contemporary thinking on transcendence. Hegel's thinking is seen to be significant because it explores the possibility of spiritual transcendence in the context of a modern consciousness that is secular in orientation, and relatively alienated from spiritual experience. Focusing on the experience of love in childhood, and the ongoing way in which love manifests itself in the life cycle of the modern individual, Hegel offers an idea of transcendence that is rooted in our everyday, secular existence, and expressed in our ethical and political engagement with others. It seeks to comprehend how we might overcome the rigid duality between finite and infinite, secular and religious, mundane and extraordinary, within our own existence.
