CONFRONTER LES NORMES AUX REVENDICATIONS RELIGIEUSES : LES DÉBATS JUDICIAIRES À MONTRÉAL (1764-1900)
More informationQuebec, and more particularly the city of Montreal knew, from the first stages of the Conquest, the cohabitation of several communities or groups promoting different religious values. If the Lower Canadian State legislates to reconcile these divergent interests, it is especially the courts which were brought to arbitrate the religious plurality. Confronted with religious claims, the Montreal jurisdictions build a legal corpus laying the foundations for religious tolerance, as well as the beginnings of legal neutrality.

AbstractThe nineteenth-century German homosexual rights movement adopted the rhetoric of the “emancipation of the flesh,” which had its roots in Romanticism. Friedrich Schlegel's Lucinde (1799) promoted the emancipation of the flesh by calling for a strong female sexuality that would help overcome the tyranny of the conventional bourgeois family. Karl Gutzkow's controversial novel Wally (1835) harked back to Schlegel as it championed the emancipation of Jews as well as women. Heinrich Hössli, author of Eros, the two-volume apology for male-male love that appeared in 1836 and 1838, clearly read the journals in which the controversies about Wally played out. He and subsequent activists in the homosexual rights movement, particularly Karl Heinrich Ulrichs, drew on these radical Romantic calls for sexual emancipation.

AbstractThis paper examines the collective self-images of Israeli literary translators, assuming that their desired idealized personae are no less effective than their actual performances in regulating the “rules of the game” in their field. In view of translators' popular image of ‘invisibility' and ‘submissiveness,' my argument is that translators are compelled to make intensive use of self-promotional discourse in their endeavor to establish their profession as a distinctive source of cultural capital. The present analysis is based on around 250 profile articles and interviews, reviews, surveys of translators and other reports in the printed media from the early 1980s through 2004. Three main self-images emerge from this self-presentational discourse: (1) The translator as a custodian of language culture; (2) The translator as an ambassador of foreign cultures and an innovator, and (3) The translator as an artist in his/her own right.
Keywords: symbolic capital, translators' self-images, self-presentation, literary translators, self-promotional discourse

While the Reform and Conservative Jewish movements have made a concerted effort to welcome transgender Jews in the last twenty years, transgender congregants are often shunned by Orthodox rabbis and synagogues in the United States. Studies about Orthodox Judaism’s relationship with transgender identity often focus exclusively on Talmudic justifications for the acceptance or rejection of transgender Jews, ignoring the increasingly sizeable effect that secular politics has on the American Orthodox community. To address this gap in the academic understanding of transgender Jewish issues, this analysis takes a more holistic approach to the issue of transgender acceptance in Orthodox Judaism by (1) assessing the potential for the acceptance of transgender Jews in ultra-Orthodox and Modern Orthodox Jewish communities in the United States using halakhic rulings on intersex and transgender issues and (2) tracing the potential effects of the American political landscape on the Orthodox community’s acceptance of transgender identity.

Over the last five decades (the mid-1970s to the mid-2020s), a tiny number of fictional works have not only centered on the male rabbi’s spouse, but she is specifically mentioned in the title of the work. This article considers these exceptional examples: eight authors and thirteen works where the Rebbetzin or the Rabbi’s Wife is clearly featured in the title of the work.
