This article focuses on the column entitled “Dans nos écoles” (“In Our Schools”) in the Franco-Manitoban newspaper La Liberté (2006-2008). The author aims to show that the personal narrative used there explores certain strategies of self-identification in the context of the individual and society. He draws attention to terms such as francisation, the start of the school year and school discipline, while showing that the dialectic between Self and Other opens up a symbolic pathway through which the Other of Franco-Manitoban culture (the Anglophone world) implicitly enters. In this way, personal narrative, as a narrative form, becomes a source of mediation and memory. In order to clarify the object of his research, the author begins with a synthesis of the work carried out on identity in several fields of the social sciences. This synthesis not only highlights the complexity of the concept of identity, but also offers some guidelines without which it remains susceptible to numerous conceptual abuses.

AbstractTypically, sociology examines questions of ethics only in the context of larger issues where these questions are especially salient, such as: new reproductive technologies, the environment, the media and communications. Rarely has sociology focused on the way ethical discourse is constructed in the society itself. Yet, from the perspective of political sociology, a social ethic contributes, on the one hand, to the socialization of the individual to a particular disciplinary discourse designed to ensure the continuity of the social order. On the other hand, the social ethic contributes to the production of social links through its representation of the society as a whole. This ethical discourse, however, is always determined by the forces which regulate social relationships, namely the form of the state (liberal, welfare or neo-liberal). The goal of this article is to reveal the relationship between the production of an ethical discourse and the various modes of social regulation that modern society has been forced to create as the regulatory capacities of these various framing modes have worn-out.

In this article the author reflects on film's status as photography, or more specifically on what is at stake in an "image-consciousness," or an intentionality in the making of a film. This brings into play the direct "retention with perception" and the "re-remembering without perception" (Ricoeur). Moreover the author proposes reading film as a series of perceptions which result from cognitive work and originate from a thought in writing and, on the spectatorial side, as perceptive work, one offered to the perception, whose understanding depends on the cognitive retrieval carried out by the spectator. Between the two poles, from the perception by the spectator of the cognitive writing of the film and the cognition of the form of perception in the film, the film traces a network of phenomenality.

Through the video game Watch Dogs, we propose to question the relationship between an urban space and its hero, between a narrative city and Aiden Pearce. We will rely mainly on a definition of mimicry (imitation), based on a Ricoeurian rereading of a concept from Aristotle's Poetics, a reconfiguration of the video game's territory in order to produce hermeneutic interrelationships between places or characters. We believe that Aiden Pearce and Chicago reflect eachother, that is, the city reveals itself to the player in the actions and character of the hero while he reveals himself in a territorial practice. In this way, Ubisoft's game can question us about the value of his character, the nature of his illegal actions in relation to a surveillance system authorized by the law. By offering a case study of Watch Dogs, we hope to identify deeper trends that revive the creation of allegories and return to the path of poetry.

Louis-Marie Chauvet developed his theory of the symbolic during the structuralist years. However, the way in which he, as a theologian of the sacraments, conceptualized the “symbolic” makes his theory vulnerable to criticism coming from multiple directions. This article examines the hypothesis of a theoretical tightening around cultural and social anthropology and the concept of symbolic exchange, in order to extend the theology of the covenant and of the grace developed by Chauvet and his study of Christian rituality. Chauvet's itinerary also bears witness in its own way to the challenges encountered by any theologian attempting to dialogue with humanities and social sciences ; he quickly finds himself at a crossroads.

This article shows how the expression “devoir de mémoire” (duty to remember) became a stock phrase in the political lexicon of France in the early 1990s. First used in the context of the Holocaust, it came to be commonly used as a semantic intermediary, expressing debt owed to the dead. “Devoir de mémoire” supports the recording and public expression of testimony, and its compassionate reception in the media.
