Since 2001, the CHM has sought to highlight the value of the collective and individual memories of Montrealers. Two recent projects, Lost Neighbourhoods and Scandal ! Vice, crime, and morality in Montreal, 1940-1960, were opportunities to collect, present, use, and underline the value of oral sources, supplementing conventional documentary sources in an exhibition. The objective was to place the witnesses of events and their stories at the heart of the exhibition in dialogue with written sources and comments by specialists. With these initiatives, the CHM has developed a museological approach to oral history.

We have examined in a previous paper the social status of plaintiffs and defendants involved in the cases heard by the Superior Court in the district of Three-Rivers during the 1880s. We now turn to the litigation in itself. Conflicts involving farmers and manufacturers are also highlighted. Thus, we will be able to establish if the countryside and the industrial sector show a specific relationship to law during this time. The issue of interactions between positive law and the ordinary experience of law is addressed in conclusion.

The Red Light district in Montreal has long been the object of sporadic efforts, if not to eliminate it, at least to control, regulate or limit it to a definite area of the city. Enquiries on the police in 1905, 1909, and 1924 give us information on the official position of the authorities and the activities of pressure groups concerned with prostitution. Founded in 1917, the Committee of Sixteen for a decade carried the torch of those social reformers eager to eliminate "commercial vice" in Montreal. The Committee was able to count on the support of the Montreal Local Council of Women, which was concerned with the problems of the white slave trade and prostitution. In addition to moral considerations, especially after the Great War, were the concerns raised by veneral diseases. After years of reformers' agitation neither abolitionism nor regulation triumphed; instead toleration prevailed, accompanied by a watchfulness and control of a sitution that suited a large number of interests linked to business in the Red Light district.

AbstractLe gone du Chaâba by Azouz Begag depicts the uneasy cohabitation between Maghrebian immigrants in France and the host community. Eleven years after its publication, Christophe Ruggia made a film version of the novel, thereby shifting the issue of immigration from book to screen. This article, which focuses on the aesthetic and discursive modalities of this rewriting, identifies and analyzes a few significant textual mutations in order to determine what additional differential meanings they contribute to the tutor-text, whose alteration appears inevitable once the process of reworking has been set in motion. These various transformations, often operating through a kind of hypertrophia, make it possible to reformulate fictional discourse on the identity and social trajectories of immigrant populations.

Abstract The present study aims to examine the various trends and innovations found in francophone African novels, to analyse their emerging manners as well as their multiplication strategies. With both a diachronical and synchronical view, it takes a critical look at the form and language used in the novels, their relations with production places and authorities of legitimization such as literary journals and publishing houses. Thus, the paradigm of passage which is at the centre of the analysis is a whole that concurrently holds physical elements of the geographical passages (the authors' journeys and the symbolic value of their experiences) and the intertextual elements of the passage of the imaginaries (readings and a variety of contacts with cultural surroundings growing in variety).
