ABSTRACTWe often speak of a dichotomy between mind and body in the Christian tradition. Yet, it would be more to the point to speak of a subordination of the body to the mind, and more precisely, to salvation. Christianity has in effect always considered the body as the determinant for the relationship to God. Thus, it constitutes a fundamental theological referent for Saint Paul and it has always been a source of major preoccupation for the Christian tradition. This article recalls the elements of this tradition and situates within it the contemporary affirmation of the body as the place of the experience of God, and looks to identify in it, its sources and contours.

AbstractThis study of Anne Walter's novel Le Petit Livre avalé is undertaken from the double perspective of its construction based on the life and work of Louis Hémon and her use of Montreal's urban spaces symbolizing its literary function. The use of identical urban spaces within two different time frames allows an exploration of spatial memory which binds the past to the present and sketches blurred images of an imaginary geography of Montréal.

AbstractIn 2004 and 2005 strange young women named “dead dead” made their apparition in Libreville. The name they are given is characterized not only by the double suffix indicating a prostitute as if intensifying the logic of death but also by its repetition as though this indicated the reality of the mirror. This apparition, taking place in an urban context that taxes lineage solidarity in a “rich country” governed by the individualist logic of capitalism, is unable, as a mirror would, to reflect the reality of this context. The concept of de-parentalisation we propose means that in the mirror of the “dead dead” and the persons this evokes the images that appear are those of terror, of zombies, vampires or ghosts of individualism and communitarism.
