How do Québécois films remember the Quiet Revolution? How do these films construct the event? The study of films produced in the 1960s and those produced afterwards which have the decade as their focal point help us answer the above questions. The article's themes of analysis are the following: the places in which the action unfolds, intergenerational relations and the characters' bonds to their community, nationalism, the here and the elsewhere, the attention paid to art and especially to music and finally the use of the film medium. While the winds of change were blowing in the Québec of the 1960s and while the protagonists in these films are young, the changes observed are not the same in films produced in the 1960s compared to those which focus on the decade with hindsight. In fact, they do not share the same approach to history and memory. The first group of films seek to make a clean sweep of the past and their characters evolve in a present sometimes devoid of a future while in the second group of films the protagonists possess both a genealogy and a destiny.

The collection « Aux limites de la mémoire » of Publications du Québec contains 25 books of old photographs from the second half of the 19th century to the second half of the 20th century. Each of the works retraces the transition from traditional society to modern society, emphasizing, as the case may be, one or the other aspect of this passage. That which is of interest to me is the story that they tell together, their representation of the past and the way this is done. The analysis looks firstly at the photos themselves and secondly at the comments which accompany them. Archival photos portray emotion and the collection shows a mix of nostalgia and pride for a time when all seemed possible, a time when modernity began.

The author finds, in the intellectual and institutional approach that led to the creation of the IUFMs (teacher colleges) in France in 1989, the implementation of a historical paradigm, that of the curriculum. This paradigm came to collide head on with another historical paradigm, that of the disciplines, which has reigned over high school and university training since the earliest days of the Republic. The author undertakes a full survey of these paradigms to take full account of their meaning and the issues involved in their conflict. Their existence and their opposition are seen to result from a tension inherent in humans, both as individuals and as social creatures. This conflict first came clearly to light in the Western world with the beginnings of Greek philosophy. The rationale for curriculum took then precedence over the rationale for the disciplines through the efforts of the Christian church, which was created and established as the religion of the Latin world, in which curriculum dominated. The two paradigms as they exist now come from this Christian archetype. The paradigm for curriculum comes by way of secularism, which held sway in the Anglo-Germanic world. The paradigm for the disciplines comes by way of laicization, which helds way in the Catholic world, or more precisely, France. These two visions of how individuals relate to society are doing battle in an area that will prove decisive for the future, the schools.
