AbstractIn this paper, we offer arguments in defence of the universal status of the Obligatory Contour Principle (OCP). We reanalyse the hitherto problematic facts of Tigrinya spirantization. We adduce, moreover, new evidence of positive manifestations of the OCP in the grammar of Tigrinya. It is claimed that the domain of validity of the OCP is the phonological word. Hence, the difference between the crucial facts of Biblical Hebrew and Tigrinya merely reflects a difference between the organization of strings of morphemes in both languages. Our analysis accounts for all the previously discussed facts as well as additional data which remain unexplained under competing analyses. This analysis allows for a more restrictive characterization of the set of grammars available to the language learner.

This article presents the basis of the movement initiated by the International Institute of Geopoetics. The transdisciplinary dimension of this research and creation field, founded by Kenneth White in 1989, and the predominance of some principles such as nomadism, outside and radical critics, join many concerns particular to travel writing, situated between literature and geography. The geopoetic approach opens the reflection as well on the poetic pole, which means the intrinsic link between the travel and the writing of the journey, as the reading pole, that needs to consider the reader's subjectivity and his own connection to the world. The examination of Écrits sur le sable from Isabelle Eberhardt (who belongs to Swiss, French and Maghrebi literatures) allows us to explore many important notions in geopoetics as landscape, polysensoriality and movement.

This article examines the role played by New France in the consolidation of maritime authority in France, first under the Admiralty then under the Crown, in the early 17th century. The colony's incorporation into these jurisdictions demonstrates that activities overseas figured into the dynastic and political calculations of titleholders in much the same way as did their positions in France and were subject to personal and institutional rivalries. Royal encouragement to Admirals to extend their jurisdictions to peripheries within and outside France highlights the intimate relations between state formation and empire building in the French Atlantic.

AbstractBuilding on the notion of strategic culture, this article substantiates the existence of a historical tension between Europeanism, continentalism and internationalism in Canadian foreign policy. We explore this basic tension at the conceptual level, but also through the positions taken by governments and political parties since World War ii. We note that, by aligning itself on Washington, the Conservative government of Stephen Harper (2006-2009) is the first to privilege continentalism exclusively and at the expense of other perspectives. While the decline of Europeanism seems inevitable, the anticipated resilience of Canada' s strategic culture leads us to question this attempt at transforming Canadian foreign policy.
