The aim of this paper is to explore the role of translations in a peripheral country. After having analysed geographical journals such as Boletim Geográfico and GEOgraphia, I suggest that translating academic articles became a consistent practice (although unconscious) among Brazilian geographers from the first university courses in the 1930s to present time. This paper studies the translation into Portuguese of the work of French geographer Paul Vidal de la Blache that circulated in Brazil between 1943 to 2020. Translation studies are useful to show how translations can improve our knowledge of human sciences. After reviewing how Vidal de la Blache and other classic authors have been considered by the historiography of geography, I concluded that translations have had a key role in the process of “canonization” (1943–1999) and “decanonization” (1999–2020) of Vidal de la Blache in Brazil.

A collegial procedure refers to the fact that, before making a delicate medical decision, the opinion of the entire care team responsible for the patient is sought, including nurses and orderlies, among others. The Claeys-Leonetti end-of-life law (2016) enshrines this in French law as mandatory when implementing deep and continuous sedation until death (DCSD). The aim of the study was to take stock of the awareness of this aspect of the law among all the healthcare staff of a cancer institute and to identify how collegiality was established for a DCSD decision, depending on the department. We administered an anonymous online questionnaire to all those involved in healthcare (knowledge of the Claeys-Leonetti Act), and then met healthcare workers from the various departments in discussion groups (managers, nursing staff and orderlies) or in individual interviews (doctors). The results show that young healthcare staff (with less than 5 years' experience) are more familiar with the law, across all professions, and that nurses and orderlies are more likely to assert their rights than doctors. We report on the diversity of the implementation of collegiality for sedation decisions, in terms of formalisation, standardisation and inter-professionalisation. We conclude that the implementation of collegiality in advance of a decision broadens the methods of multi/inter-professional communication and helps to alleviate the suffering of patients, doctors and care givers.

The place of music education in Quebec's school system is highly controversial. Public opinion varies between fear that music might disappear altogether from the curriculum, and confidence that it will remain there in spite of it all. What is the reason for this ambivalence? The answer perhaps lies in the very concept we have of music education. In this article, Claude Dauphin considers the primary goal of music education by distinguishing it from musical training, arguing that the former belongs to the general sphere of education, while the latter has the aim of preparing an individual for the music profession. With this distinction in mind, the author discusses the kinds of pedagogical materials used in the Quebec school system and, more specifically, describes the activity of academic researchers in the field of music education. This is achieved by examining graduate thesis and dissertation topics and by assessing the broader influence of academics who have chosen music education as their area of research.

The article focuses on the ongoing construction in the field of social work of a new epistemic, curricular and institutional space (universities-social work schools). He seeks to qualify the markers of this “universitary form of professionalization” that is built between ministerial prescription and actors' practices. It presents engineering of professionalization at work that refer to figures of professionality making debate.
