Self-recognition and the impact of family relations are often connected with the theme of identity in the critical discourse on the francophone dramaturgy of Western Canada. Nonetheless, discussion of these concepts has rarely served as the object of focussed analysis. The present article seeks to address this lacuna through an examination of Roger Auger's Suite manitobaine. It will show how two important semiotic functions (the hierarchisation and the integration of dramatic works) constitute a key component of this analysis from the perspective of the literary culture of the spectator. The description of a collection of memorial traces and of symbolic mediations (franglais, social realism and reference to a specific family model) contribute to an explication of the first function. An analysis of the family conflict at the heart of Je m'en vais à Régina casts light upon the second.

ABSTRACTLarge scale cohort studies suggest that offenders are more likely to experience premature death. We argue, in this paper, that strain, self-control and differential association theories would all predict higher fatality rates among offenders but rely on different processes in order to account for differential fatality outcomes. Whereas self-control theory would argue premature death among offenders to be unrelated to crime and accident-driven, strain theory would emphasize the significance of suicides and overdoses amongst causes of death. Both frameworks, however, construe death outcomes as individual morbidity patterns. Differential association theory's emphasis on co-offending effects would predict, however, fatality outcomes to incorporate a dis- tinctive crime-related occupational hazard component.
