In 1902, Georgina Lefaivre began writing for a number of periodicals. She made journalism her profession in 1905, the year she started writing for Le Soleil, a daily newspaper based in Québec, the city where she was born. She contributed short columns until 1922. In 1919, Ginevra published a book entitled En relisant les vieilles pages, which contained short texts published between 1906 and 1918. In 1922, under another pseudonym, she published a second collection titled Billets de Geneviève. Education focused on happiness through the preparation for roles traditionally assigned to girls forms the framework of her observations. Aspiring to a discreet and modest happiness would be the secret to avoiding all that is inevitable in the daily life of wives, and especially of mothers, which the majority of these girls will become. Several themes are recurrent in the two collections, modernity and the influence of the neighbouring United States make an appearance in the second one.

The Livre vert (Green Paper) on Culture was drafted by Minister Jean- Paul L'Allier during the year preceding the general elections of November 15, 1976. The document consists of three parts. The first brings together previous texts from the political and cultural circles that legitimize the approach of the Green Paper. The second diagnoses the state of fifteen cultural sectors in connection with the action of the Department. As for the third part, it appears as a problem-solving approach by proposing a structural reorganization of the Department of Cultural Affairs and the organizations attached to it. Among the recommendations, L'Allier proposes to grant administrative autonomy to major public cultural institutions. True to the spirit of the 1970s, the Green Paper bears witness to an interventionist state in the cultural field.

AbstractIn Colombia, it is possible to establish links between the period known as La Violencia and contemporary forced displacement since the illegal seizure of land, assassinations and forced migration toward middle-sized and large cities are abiding features of these two phenomena. We have observed in Bogota the impact of forced displacement on a group of Afro-Colombian women of rural origin, coming from Chocó (Pacific region). Their experience of no longer being able to exercise their traditional cultural practices in Bogota provides a glimpse of the dynamic characterizing Colombia's internal armed conflict in this area. They do, however, use certain strategies so that their culture becomes, as it were, a letter of introduction when they attempt to position their depreciated otherness in neighbourhood contexts where cultural practices associated with Colombia's Andean culture predominate; as such, they become intercultural mediators while bringing to light the problems of social exclusion experienced by their neighbours who have not been displaced.
