Malgré les avancés en termes d'égalité entre les hommes et les femmes et la révolution sexuelle, la sexualité des femmes demeure sous l'emprise d'un plus grand contrôle social que la sexualité des hommes. L'usage de termes comme « pute » et « salope » à l'encontre des femmes témoignent de cet écart genré. Dans le but d'analyser comment le stigmate de pute affecte les femmes « ordinaires » (c'est-à-dire, non-travailleuses du sexe), nous nous sommes attardés sur l'expérience de recevoir l'étiquette de pute, sur les significations de ce mot et sur son impact dans la vie sociale et sexuelle des femmes. Par l'entremise d'une méthodologie qualitative, dix entretiens semi-dirigés ont été menés avec des femmes d'âges, d'orientations sexuelles et d'appartenances ethnoculturelles variés. Le fait de …

L’Apocalypse de St-Jean se conclut en comparant les figures de «Babylone» (Rome) et la «nouvelle Jérusalem» (les disciples du Christ). Il dépeint «Babylone» comme un prostituée et marchande d’esclaves riche, violente, et idolâtre et aussi comme quelqu’une qui a persécuté les fidèles. Dans une tournure de la justice poétique, elle est condamnée à mourir pour ses crimes dans le «spectacle» ou «jeux» de gladiateurs, une punition et divertissement typiquement romain. Mais la «Jérusalem» apparaît comme un nouveau Eden urbaine. Sa récompense est de devenir la femme de «l’Agneau» (Jesus Christ, ressuscité et glorifié). Cette image ne reflète pas seulement des idées théologiques et les traditions littéraires, mais aussi des réalités sociales sur lesquelles le texte reflète. Normes patriarcales du genre et de la sexualité, l’évolution …

"Ça s'est passé à la taverne de l'hôtel Plaza, à deux pas des installations portuaires de la compagnie Alcan, à Port-Alfred. Chaque jour de la semaine, ils se retrouvaient en aprèsmidi autour de la même table : barbier à la retraite, chauffeur de taxi à la grande gueule, manoeuvre au port et prostituée vieillissante. Ça parlait de marée, marins, clients d'exception et voyages longue distance. Ça se racontait des histoires pas toujours catholiques. Enregistrées à leur insu par un étudiant rattaché au GRAMUL, les histoires de cet étrange quatuor intriguent un autre étudiant, Etienne, qui met la main dessus. Celui-ci est à ce point touché par ces personnages qu'il décide de faire une pause dans la rédaction de sa thèse en muséologie afin d'écrire un …

This article analyzes an otherwise unknown prayer voiced by a woman, found at the end of a Vie de sainte Marie l'Égyptienne on the final folio of manuscript Paris, BnF, fr. 23112. It focuses on the stylistic workings and poetic value of the prayer, which is marked by a sustained reflection on the feminine voice and the spiritual experience of penitence, articulated through the figures of Mary Magdalene and the Virgin Mary. The article demonstrates the intertextual connections between the prayer and the text it completes within the manuscript of the Vie de sainte Marie l'Égyptienne. A new edition and the first-ever translation of the prayer into modern French are provided in the appendix.

AbstractIn the light of interviews conducted with provincially-sentenced women, the author invites the readers to examine the effects of incarceration on women's bod- ies and most particularly, the significance of self-mutilation. This article locates self- mutilation within a wider social perspective of the marking of the body and as an exam- ple of the troubled identity trajectory of these women. Moreover, the body is taken as a site of the manifestation of power. This discussion comprises four parts. The first part is a presentation of the profile of incarcerated women in Canada. The second one traces the theoretical, methodological and epistemological journey taken in this research project. The third one presents the research results on the topic of the imprisoned fem- inine body which is conceptually organised as the body as a site of control and the body as a site of resistance. The fourth and final part proposes ways of understanding self- mutilation within a wider social perspective.

This article discusses the position of women in international migration with particular attention to their situation in the labour market in Italy, a country where the informal economy represents an important share of productive activities. Firstly, the elements which distinguish contemporary international migration from that of the period 1950 to 1975 are identified in relation to economic globalization and the transformation of the industrial system. Using an analysis of gender, ethnicity and class, the polarization of labour markets and its impact on the situation of women immigrants in Europe is then discussed. Finally, two employment sectors where women migrants to Italy are concentrated are examined: domestic work and the sex industry.

AbstractThe notion of equivalence in translation has undergone change over the years resulting from the influence of various theories. During the 1950s and 1960s, the work of Vinay and Darbelnet, Nida, Catford and others paved the way for comparative studies of the translated and the source texts. This debate continued throughout the 1970s, spurred on by the interpretive theory of translation of Lederer, which underscores the translator's encyclopedic knowledge and the integration of extra-linguistic data in context for the production of a text equivalent to the original. Today this debate takes place in the realm of audiovisual translation. This article looks at translation equivalence in the practice of cinematographic and audiovisual dubbing. By looking carefully at two successful productions, Gone with the Wind by David Zelsnick (produced for cinema) and All Saints, a television series directed by the Australian Julian Pringle, it shows that in cinematographic and audiovisual dubbing, in contrast to written translation, the achievement of a dubbed version equivalent to the original version depends on a complex entity consisting of picture and sound. The translation depends on specific constraints, in that dubbing requires equivalence at two levels – sound and meaning – while complying with phonetic, syntaxic and artistic synchronization.

Abstract The ideas of a deliberative democracy and of a politics of recognition were designed to overcome some difficulties inherent to political liberalism. The normative implications of one is not opposed to those of the other, because the normative principle underlying the political struggles for recognition — the elimination of social sources of misrecognition — has to be implemented through public deliberation. Nevertheless, the citizens' ability and motivation to take part in public deliberation depend on predeliberative forms of recognition, especially their inclusion in the social division of work. They require also that citizens pay close attention to the effects of misrecognition brought about by their public use of reason.

Quebec author Nelly Arcan sets her four novels in Montreal, a mysterious city that she both depicts and recasts beyond the physical into a full-fledged element of her narrative, inseparable from the characters whose lives are being played out. Arcan describes Montreal not only through the gritty or upscale neighbourhoods she knows so well, but also as a virtual and imagined backdrop to her forays into science fiction. It is only through Alain Médam's Montréal interdite and Jean-Paul Cléber's Paris insolite that one can study Arcan's oeuvre to glimpse at Montreal's mystery.
