Pierre-Jean de Béranger (1780–1857) was revered during his lifetime as the national poet of France. His championing of the Revolution and the people earned him significant impact in the United States; an antebellum American reviewer touted Béranger's patriotism and his struggle for liberty as a model for an American national poetry. Translations of his songs were published in various formats at various prices by major publishers who also imported French-language editions. Translators struggled to bring his politically radical and sexually scandalous texts across linguistic and cultural borders to construct a Béranger who could be understood in the United States. Yet by refusing to translate Béranger, direct-language pioneer Lambert Sauveur subversively exposed his students to the Christian roots of socialism and a defense of the Paris Commune. By century's end, Béranger's influence had faded to mere inclusion in delicately suggestive anthologies, but his voice lived on to inspire leftists of the next century.

Brigitte Haentjens, well before her current renown in Montreal, first developed her artistic practice in Ontario between 1977 and 1990. She is remembered for her anti-establishment stance yet, paradoxically, this seemingly anti-intellectual and anti-academic artist nonetheless showed exceptional ease with concepts and discourse which brought her to the very heart of the Franco-Ontarian establishment, becoming Artistic Director of the Théâtre du Nouvel-Ontario from 1982 to 1990 and the foundational president of the Association nationale des théâtres francophones hors-Québec from 1984 to 1990. In Ontario, she was a community-engaged artist who wasn't afraid of challenging that very community. Haentjens, a foreigner who became a most intimate member of her adopted Franco-Ontarian theatre community, insisted on the importance of proactive and well-articulated advocacy in the face of assimilation and social intimidation. This article offers a historiography and an overview of the evolving discourse of the director in her interviews, opinion pieces and articles during her pivotal and formative years in Ontario.

This article reports a survey on wage-earning in the cities of southern Benin. Indeed, the exercise of wage-earning has evolved a lot in this beginning of the twenty-first century with a reversal of trends. The job market is resolutely submissived to the diktat of unbridled capitalism where a low offer of job always demanding conditions a growing request in a social and economic environment weakened by massive unemployment. Today, finding a job is a real ordeal that infers a physical and psychological cost where the conditions do not guarantee its permanence. We are witnessing a precariousness of job and the employee is in a constant quest for recognition in and through the activity which working conditions continue to deteriorate. The models of economic development that are proposed no longer succeed in convincing the community, which loses confidence in the effectiveness of economic policies enveloped in unbridled liberalism which constantly erodes the construction of identities and the social link. This decadence of wage-earning affects deeply men and society by relaunching both the debate on the future of wage-earning and the issue of social dynamic.

The relationships that Inuit maintain with qupirruit (small critters) and the knowledge they have about them remain unknown. In the few available studies that can be found, the emphasis has been mainly on the fears and terror that these little animals bring to humans. Their role in the shamanic initiations has also been emphasized, these small critters being in contact with death and able to revive or to metamorphose. Using classical and contemporary oral sources, this paper addresses a very different aspect of small critters, their role as messengers. Qupirruit are entities able to guide humans in their gestures and their decision-making. They can sometimes accompany them and protect them, or announce events to come. While shamanic traditions are now underground, it is necessary to wonder whether these little critters are not perceived more positively than before, notwithstanding their ambivalence.
