This article looks at the results of a qualitative research conducted on women living in homelessness in two shelters located in two different cities. The analysis of these women's discourses led us to report on the relationship of these women to institutions. Indeed, this study on the life course of women has revealed several “points de vue” on social protection. The article analyzes these discourses in light of the concept of citizenship regime. It concludes that the current citizenship regime has a significant impact on women's citizenship exercise

This article investigates the relationship of the tableau vivant to modernism and postmodernism and examines how the aesthetic characteristics mobilized by the tableau vivant disrupt the logic of modernism. In the nineteenth century, the tableau vivant, because of its intrinsic intermediality, was seen as overly theatrical and was thus relegated to the antechamber of photographic modernity, as a practice that discredited the seriousness of a medium in need of legitimization. By 1964, however, Robert Morris used the tableau vivant as an instrument to critique modernism in his work Site. Postmodernist artists explored the tableau vivant still further and used it repeatedly in photography, video, and performance. This article examines how Luigi Ontani, Cindy Sherman, and Yasumasa Morimura adopt the tableau vivant as an interface that allows them to physically manipulate representations of Western society in order to critique its values and codes.

The criminal is the equivalent of the hero in another context, i.e. an exceptional individual with a captivating boldness. Interest in crime is linked to the attractiveness of exceptional behaviour. Media representations of criminality fulfil an anthropologically discriminating function that sets the boundaries between abnormal and normal, and a social function that turns exceptional individual actions into a socially significant experience: the media help to crystallize our worries by focussing a fragmented mass of fears on identical objects, i.e. emblematic violence. But the relationships thus created are projective rather than socially unifying.

Focusing on the context in which Okot p'Bitek's double poem, Song of Lawino (1966) and Song of Ocol (1967), was written, published and received, this paper analyses how Okot's particular position within the Anglophone literary space of East Africa and his own translations moulded the formal aspects of the poem. It seeks to shed light on the various influences and transfers – between languages, but also between the fields of literature and anthropology – that invite us to go beyond the original readings of the poem as an example of « authentically African » poetry. In doing so, the article aims to reflect on the role played by the poem in Okot's call for a « cultural revolution » and its legacy in deconstructing the figure of the African writer as it was built through and by the University in the region.

The analysis of fictional feature films set in Abitibi reveals the outline of a social imaginary which takes shape through the themes of nature, the road, natural resources, and links to the outside world. The region appears as a promised land, full of opportunities to seize. But this narrative does not resonate with the First Nations and White people of Abitibi. Mines are closing, tensions over access to forests are growing, prosperity is lacking, nature is proving hostile, and political projects are cut short. However, this is not enough to defeat Abitibi's representation as a medium of self-renewal and collective change.
