The approriate object of study for the discipline of criminology has always been the subject of debate. In the francophone literature the discipline has historically been divided into two paradigms – the etiology of the act and its social construction – but in recent years new theories of transgressive behaviour have emerged. This article argues that research on white-collar crime has enriched the science of criminology by investigating the unclear boundaries between lawful and unlawful conduct and suggesting new ways to respond to transgressions. The article concludes by exploring the heuristic value of the concept of “illegalism” developed by Michel Foucault, which makes it possible to combine analysis of transgressive behaviors and the social responses to these behaviors, thereby overcoming Alvaro Pires' objection of paradox.

Based on the assessment of an “event mania” in the field of culture, this research theorizes the Territorial Portfolio of Cultural Events (TPCE). This involves adapting traditional models of strategic analysis to provide public managers a tool for steering the territorial supply of cultural events. On the basis of a single and embedded case study at the scale of a community council, the results show that 1) the process of cultural events' selection should be considered in a functional approach and 2) strategic management is characterized by a contingent multi-level and multi-stakeholders governance, involving territorial incentive leadership.

The author proposes a reading of agroecological feminist mobilizations in Brazil from the conceptualizations of the « feelingthinking » and the corazonar. The link to the Earth and the fusion between emotions and political analysis are analysed by studying militant supports (mística, songs, poems, slogans) and interviews with rural activists. Understanding this feelingthinking light on the different aspects of violence. An analysis of gender violence is proposed, understood as an agrocapital strategy. Socio-environmental domestic violence and « agrocapitalist féminicides » are part of what the author calls an « agrocapitalist necropolitics ». The collective strategies of surpassing developed by the activists promote an affirmation of the strength and continuity of the struggle and life.

Based on semi-directed interviews with 50 urban and peri-urban women farmers from marginalized areas (favelas, assentamentos, terreiros, and quilombola and indigenous communities) in the states of Ceará and Pernambuco, the author focuses on the social dynamics which allow these women to break with stigmatization and invisibility, on the one hand, and to become a social movement, in line with Touraines' three principles (identity, opposition and historicity) that must coexist in any social movement, on the other hand. Her analysis reveals that the militant actions of these women farmers nourish collaborative networks that go beyond land rights, thus contributing to individual and relational empowerment articulated around the Social and Solidarity Economy Project as a way to end the various forms of domination and cross oppression, an unfinished endeavor today jeopardized by the government of Bolsonaro.

SummaryThe founding fathers of sociology did not exclude international relations from their scientific concerns. This was especially the case with Mauss in his two manuscripts devoted to the nation and to internationalism. Durkheim's nephew sets out the essentials : necessity of empiricism, analysis of interdependencies, formulation of a sociological law as to the widening of the sense of identity and belonging. This budding positivism encounters limits, however, since it lies beyond the bounds of pure sociology, and is tinged by wilsonian ideology. This reflection has produced no heirs. Reference to Mauss in the field of international relations has suffered so prejudicial an eclipse that sociology is today reinvestigating this phenomenon.

This article relates an experiment on the construction of the number at the level of the preparatory course and the elementary course (pupils aged 6 to 8). We focus our analysis on one of the engineering and elements. It is a personal and collective copybook, called the Journal du Nombre, which aims to a better understanding of mathematics. One of its particularities is the exclusion of all evaluation in order to favor the construction of a time knowledge to develop a personal connection to mathematical objects, especially for less advanced students. Our theoretical framework is the Theory of Joint Action in Didactics-TJAD, which is the continuation of the work of Brousseau (1970) and Sensevy (1996). We retained some theoretical categories such as the defining and strategic rules, the middle contract, the joint action, the collective productive incentive, the dialectic of the expression reluctance and the less advanced students. The methodology consists of the analysis of a small sample of work in the Journal du Nombre done by less advanced students. The results show that the Journal du Nombre is a device that links the institutional time and the personal duration of the student for a better acquisition of mathematical knowledge.

Michael Delisle's collections of poetry often focus on mediocrity and awkwardness, displayed in relation to the world, to others and above all to words. As he says in Chose vocale, “Tous les ratages sont bons pour la littérature.” This sense of approximation, of “inhabileté fatale” (André Frénaud)—the fatal clumsiness of both subject and reader with regard to the poem—is examined in this article. The author argues that Delisle's poetic posture is based on a form of humility that is experienced by the subject as necessary for speech to arise, and examines the various forms taken by this posture in several of his collections of poetry. Basing herself on Pierre Nepveu's reflections on Saint-Denys Garneau in “La prose du poème,” she analyzes to what extent Delisle's humility is related to an orientation towards prose, connected to the fictional side of his work, and this leads her to examine the intrusion of narrative and fiction in the poems. These incursions into fictional territory allow the reader to identify something that looks like an aesthetic of poverty and imperfection.

AbstractRecent years have seen increased interest in the Canadian nobility in New France. The attributes and demographic habits of this social group are now familiar to us while their cultural practices are still little known. In order to better understand some of these elements, this article deals with book ownership among the Canadian nobility between 1670 and 1764. Using a documentary corpus of 276 notarized acts, principally post-mortem inventories, and following the quantitative methods developed by French scholars specializing in the history of reading, this article identifies the number and size of collections of printed materials, the places in which they were kept and the nature of these collections. It briefly considers how Canadian noblemen use their books and shows that they differ from the general population of New France as far as books are concerned.
