Pan-African activist Boubacar Boris Diop's decision to write in one of his native country's languages perpetuates his literary work's engagement with African issues. Writing, translating and publishing in Wolof, he stands with the advocates of African thought and languages. Mark of authenticity and revolutionary gesture against the French language's dominance, Wolof writing illustrates the literary performances of the author's mother tongue and invites a thorough and diversified critical reading.

Because World literature in French has generally been reduced to literature writing “in French”, our study aims to show that this has not always been the case. Before the publication of the manifesto of the 44 and the anthology Pour une littérature-monde, the notion, linked to the activities carried out around the Étonnants Voyageurs festival, had largely evolved. By taking a retrospective reading of the geographical spaces modelled by the manifesto discourses and the association of the contributors with a country in the anthologies published under the banner of this movement, we show that this concept refers in turn to a European, postcolonial, extra-hexagonal and international literature in French in France.

This text compares the position adopted by the Court of Appeal in 2009 on the punishment of insults in the Genex ruling with the decisions rendered since then by the Supreme Court of Canada and the Quebec Court of Appeal. This analysis shows that the positions of the courts have changed and that offensive and insulting comments can no longer be sanctioned independently, as they were in Genex. The outcome is that insults must qualify as a breach of the right to the safeguard of reputation or of the right to equality, without which it will be found that the damage to the safeguard of dignity resulting from the insults cannot be considered as giving rise to compensation. The new analytical framework generates a confused amalgam in the distinction of rights guaranteed by the Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms.

This article proposes to review the methodology of Vauban in America? which—among other things—uses photogrammetry and geographic information system (GIS) to improve the study of the Vauban heritage as well as forts and fortresses of North America before the conquest. More precisely, Fort de Chambly served as a “sandbox” for our experimentation. Thus, the Vauban project is an initiative from a group of digital history master students at Université de Sherbrooke. Under the banner Historiamatica, a web platform that brings together the various digital humanities initiatives among history students, members of the Vauban project have created a web application to visualize the different types of defensive structures.

In North America, the survival of the French language is historically linked to the resistance and the actions of the (francophone) Catholic Church, which is the religion of the majority of those who have long been described as French Canadians. Over a long period, the battle to preserve the French language and culture was naturally connected with that to preserve the Catholic faith. What is true for Quebec is even more true for the surrounding regions, where French-speakers are in the minority, both in language and religion, as is the case with the Acadians. To undertake a study of the existing correlations between the Catholic religion and Acadian culture poses at once the problem of the social polarization of a place which has evanescent borders and which is spread over several Canadian provinces. The aim of this article is thus to define from the point of view of Acadian history the important moments of this special relationship between religion and culture and to understand its evolution over a little more than two centuries.

Studies carried out to shed light on the heritage of women in Quebec librarianship have recently revealed another historical thread in its margins: that of the emergence of services for young audiences. The current study focuses on the contribution of pioneers in this sector such as Joséphine Marchand, whose engagement in public reading, through the Free Books Work, draws on ideologies in tension about the place of women in society, their role in the development of education, concern for children, cultural norms linked to certain literary genres and the place of censorship.
