The commemoration in 2015 of the 400th anniversary of the “French presence in Ontario,” and the subsequent apology issued by the provincial government the following year for Regulation 17 (which severely curtailed the use of French in the province's schools between 1912 and 1927), generated considerable discursive activity in French Ontario. This activity fostered a number of “narrative conflicts” that reveal competing conceptions of Franco-Ontarians' collective past as well as distinct understandings of historical time. Analyzing these conflicts in the light of the rivalry between competing commemorative poles, being “nation building” and “postcolonialism,” sheds new light on the tensions and debates that structure the relationship Franco-Ontarians have not only with themselves but also with the “other” (anglophone majority, francophone ethnocultual minorities and native peoples).

Under what conditions can the written, visual, or audio traces of online activities be used as research data without the consent of the individuals who produced them? This question, central to discussions about online research ethics, has been addressed by norm-setting bodies from the perspective of privacy. Yet the transposition of the private/public distinction to digital contexts raises several issues, mostly resulting from conceptual confusion. Attempting to clear this confusion, this article proposes five clarifications concerning the public or private status of digital traces with regard to their accessibility; the awareness of this accessibility by the people who generate these traces; the distinction between private and intimate; the links between content visibility and publicity, and the way in which publicity can be amplified by research.
Keywords: privacité, publicité, visibilité, données, traces numériques, éthique de la recherche, privacy, publicness, visibility, data, digital traces, research ethics

The use of biographical elements in a literary essay can arise from the need to organize archival material according to the narrative logic of a life story. Borrowing from a genre with which the reader is familiar, the history of mentalities, the history of the literary institution and reflections on identity combine in a hybrid form, the “biographical essay”. The biographical essay is characterized by techniques belonging to fiction and metafiction, and the flexibility of this type of writing gives the author permission to explore reading hypotheses about his character or the reference society, with infinitely more freedom (but just as much rigour) as a traditional academic essay. Bernard Andrès adopted this method in his fictionalized biography, L'énigme de Sales Laterrière. He is also applying it to his current research on literary adventurers of the eighteenth century.
