La définition du sujet politique québécois dans la sociologie québécoise contemporaine
Le sujet politique, traditionnellement incarnĂ© dans la modernitĂ© par la nation, est un concept malmenĂ© par l'actuelle sociĂ©tĂ© des identitĂ©s. Nourri par la culture de revendication mise de l'avant par l'Ătat providence, l'individu semble poursuivre un dĂ©veloppement capable de rĂ©futer certaines appartenances imposĂ©es hiĂ©rarchiquement par la collectivitĂ©. Cette logique horizontale impose au sujet politique un remarquable effort d'ouverture et d'adaptation. Il en va maintenant de sa pertinence mĂȘme. Cet ouvrage entend rendre compte du dĂ©fi de complexification auquel est confrontĂ© le sujet politique quĂ©bĂ©cois. Comment suggĂšre-t-on de concilier, ici, le multiple et l'un Ă l'Ăšre de l'Ă©clatement identitaire contemporain? Nous Ă©tablissons d'abord notre cadre thĂ©orique oĂč nous tentons de cerner le concept de sujet politique. Avec Beauchemin, Gauchet, Lefort, Clair et Thuot, nous trouvons une dynamique qui paraĂźt inextricablement liĂ©e Ă la logique identitaire que nous connaissons. Nous posons ensuite notre hypothĂšse de lecture: Les tentatives de redĂ©finition du sujet politique quĂ©bĂ©cois, dans la sociologie du QuĂ©bec contemporain, ont en commun la prise en compte du caractĂšre pluraliste de la sociĂ©tĂ©. Leur tentative consiste Ă rĂ©concilier une reprĂ©sentation de l'unicitĂ© de ce sujet politique et la rĂ©alitĂ© pluraliste du QuĂ©bec. Nous prĂ©sentons, en guise de problĂ©matique, l'Ă©volution du sujet politique quĂ©bĂ©cois depuis le dĂ©but des annĂ©es 1960. De la relative homogĂ©nĂ©itĂ© dont tĂ©moignent Aquin, d'Allemagne et Rioux, nous passons au pluralisme encensĂ© par Lamoureux, MaillĂ©, Dupuis-DĂ©ri et Maclure. Dans un tel contexte social s'inscrivent les cinq tentatives de redĂ©finition du sujet politique quĂ©bĂ©cois que nous Ă©tudions principalement. Il s'agit, succinctement, de l'Ă©largissement national de Bouchard, de la nation civique de Bariteau, de la nation sociopolitique de Seymour, du communautarisme mĂ©moriel de Beauchemin et de l'ambivalence assumĂ©e de LĂ©tourneau. Nous en venons Ă la conclusion que les approches de Seymour et de Beauchemin sont complĂ©mentaires et qu'elles ont le meilleur potentiel de redĂ©finition du sujet politique quĂ©bĂ©cois au sein de la sociĂ©tĂ© pluraliste contemporaine. \ud

Biomarkers of selenium status in the amazonian context: Blood, urine and sequential hair segments
Selenium (Se) is an essential element and deficit or excess of dietary Se is associated with health disorders. Relatively elevated Se levels have been reported in the Brazilian Amazon, where there are also important annual variations in the availability of different foods. The present study was conducted among six riparian communities of the Tapajos River to evaluate seasonal variations in blood and sequential hair cm Se concentrations, and to examine the relationships between Se in blood and hair, and blood and urine. Two cross-sectional studies were conducted, at the descending water (DWS, n = 259) and the rising water (RWS, n = 137) seasons, with repeated measures for a subgroup (n = 112). Blood Se (B-Se), hair Se (H-Se) and urine Se (U-Se) were determined. Match-paired analyses were used for seasonal comparisons and the method of best fit was used to describe the relationships between biomarkers. B-Se levels presented a very large range (142-2447 mu g/l) with no overall seasonal variation (median 284 and 292 mu g/l, respectively). Sequential analysis of 13 cm hair strands showed significant variations over time: Se concentrations at the DWS were significantly lower compared with the rising water season (medians: 0.7 and 0.9 mu g/g; ranges: 0.2-4.3 mu g/g and 0.2-5.4 mu g/g, respectively). At both seasons, the relationships between B-Se and H-Se were linear and highly significant (r(2) = 67.9 and 63.6, respectively), while the relationship between B-Se and U-Se was best described by a sigmoid curve. Gender, age, education and smoking did not influence Se status or biomarker relationships. Variations in H-Se suggest that there may be seasonal availability of Se sources in local food. For populations presenting a large range and/or elevated Se exposure, sequential analyses of H-Se may provide a good reflection of variations in Se status.Canadian International Development Research Centre (IDRC)Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA)Government of Quebec (Office Quebec-Amerique pour la Jeunesse, OQAJ)Quebec Ministry of Education ( Bourse a la Mobilite
