Vers une révision du processus et du cadre d'élaboration de la décision administrative au Québec
In this study, the authors examine various models for reviewing the system and procedural framework of administrative action in Québec. Firstly, they explore the solutions previously advanced as far as Québec is concerned, then those that have been adopted in other jurisdictions. Next, after identifying the principle decision-making agents of the administration, they enumerate the other factors to be considered in devising a model system, such as the assigned powers of the decision-makers, their procedure, the rules controlling their decision-making, and the establishement by the decision-makers of norms governing the exercise of their discretionary powers. These parameters having been determined the authors go on to evaluate, from various aspects, those solutions that have already been proposed and also others which offer themselves for consideration. In that regard, after discussing the classification of administrative bodies, they analyse the merits of a single or dual jurisdictional authority from the structural and constitutional perspective ; they pause to examine the very notion of administrative authority before going on to deal with the issue of an overall control of administrative bodies, such control being exercised by means of an Administrative Council. Then, after discussing the power given to an administrative body or agency to review its own decisions, they analyse the controversial issue of administrative procedure ant the codification of those rules, and go on to propose, as a possible solution, a flexible codification that is restrictive in part yet adaptable to the individual circumstances of the bodies concerned. In concluding that the existing patchwork of administrative decisionmaking must be satisfactorily resolved, and before indicating what corrective action should be studied, they attempt to identify the questions that have to be answered before undertaking review of the system and procedural framework of administrative action, the need for which review having been seen as imperative right from the outset
EÌdition critique de la cinquieÌme journeÌe du MysteÌre de Sainte Barbe en cinq journeÌes
This thesis makes accessible an unedited and hitherto unpublished text of great value for the
history of literature and theatre. It was written c. 1450-1500. and consists of about 25.000 lines. It is an
unique document of its time, as there is no other hagiographic mystery play of this size or importance
with a woman as the central character. The play contains numerous stage directions that make it even
more compelling for a historian of theatre.
Barbara is arguably the most celebrated female saint of the 15th and 16th centuries. Too often,
specialists of the period choose the high-profile Saint Catherine to exemplify their work. Here I argue
that Saint Barbara is central to the understanding of popular devotion of the period. Le Mystere de
sainte Barbe en cinq journees helps us to shed light on that very devotion, as this text is meant for the
stage : to be performed before an audience from all walks of life. The fifth day presents us with a
prime example of what a Mystery play could offer. It contains diableries. the final tortures of the saint
and her death, numerous miracles and a farce, and a holy war between pagans and Christians.
The language of the manuscript is also very interesting. For example, the use of suvmes and
quel. the many infinitives in er and ir written repectivelv ez and iz, the consistant use of ~ou where -o
is found in modem French, to name but a few. I suggest also that the versification and the didascalies
should be understood in such a way so as to help the reader break the text in smaller, more convenient
sequences without imposing a modem structure onto the Mystery play.
The body of this thesis is the edition of the fifth day. which consists of 5531 lines. It is
preceded by an introduction comprising: a description of the manuscript; a section on the legend and
devotion to Saint Barbara; a survey of the dramatic texts and productions related to the saint; a review
of the sources used by the author; a guide to reading the mystery plays (making use of the Pausa) and
more specifically the Mystere de sainte Barbe en cinq journees, together with a summary of the fifth
day; a study of the farcical elements found in the text; and a reflection on the importance of Cyprus
and the later Crusades. Chapters are also included on linguistics and versification. A bibliography and
a few pages on editorial conventions completes the introduction. The edition is accompanied by an
exhaustive glossary , a repertoire of all the proverbs and locutions, a list of characters and a list of
proper names
« Maistre Jenin le recouvreur pendus » ou comment chanter en allant vers le gibet
This paper explores the way in which justice, crime and execution are described in Philippe de Vigneullesâ Chronique de Metz. Focusing on a fait divers about Master Jenin, a roofer, who was condemned and hung for stealing chalices, I argue that this specific story does more than list the events from 1437 that led to his death. It provides rather a strong narrative crafted specifically to hold our attention, a âmarvellousâ story that takes its lead from a vibrant literary and musical tradition. This paper also discusses the way in which Jeninâs song provides a key to understanding the entire story.La prĂ©sentation des crimes, des faits de justice et des exĂ©cutions dansla Chronique de Metz de Philippe de Vigneulles constitue le vĂ©ritable sujet du prĂ©sent article. Nous nous pencherons sur un fait divers racontant les pĂ©ripĂ©ties de MaĂźtre Jenin, couvreur de son Ă©tat, qui, accusĂ© dâavoir volĂ© des calices, fut condamnĂ© Ă la pendaison. Nous verrons comment lâextrait choisi fait plus que relater les faits survenus en 1437 et qui menĂšrent Ă la mort de Jenin ; il propose une vĂ©ritable histoire susceptible de capter lâattention du lecteur, une histoire « merveilleuse » qui sâalimente Ă une tradition littĂ©raire et musicale bien vivante. Nous aborderons Ă©galement comment la chanson de Jenin reprĂ©sente une clef possible pour lâinterprĂ©tation du texte

Enseignement de la langue et de la littĂ©rature françaises mĂ©diĂ©vales en Ontario (Canada anglophone) : de lâutilitĂ© dâune troisiĂšme langue⊠morte
Teaching Old French language and literature, away from the context of teacher's examination and ranking in France, requires a certain degree of innovation. It is especially true in the English speaking South West Ontario where the student body is both diverse and multiculturally rich. In that context, Old French language and literature are often seen as strange topics to focus on, especially since the textbooks are rarely adapted to their level of French, not to mention their knowledge of the specific history of the French medieval period. This article addresses some of the problems of teaching Old French language and literature as second language acquisition tools by suggesting approaches that have proven successful in our teaching practice. A hands on approach is especially productive, as students love to work directly from digitised manuscripts. Such an initiation to medieval writings in its manuscript context stimulates students' curiosity and offers them the extra motivation to discover an otherwise very abstract topic for any learner of French language and literature outside of France.Enseigner la langue et la littĂ©rature mĂ©diĂ©vale loin du cadre universitaire français traditionnel oĂč les contenus et les mĂ©thodes sont orientĂ©s par la perspective des concours de lâenseignement impose dâinventer de nouvelles approches. Le sud de lâOntario, province canadienne anglophone, particuliĂšrement multiculturelle, nous confronte Ă des Ă©tudiants dont aucun hĂ©ritage culturel ne renvoie Ă lâoccident mĂ©diĂ©val chrĂ©tien et roman. Lâancien français est pour eux une langue nouvelle et les manuels de langue qui existent ne sont pas adaptĂ©s Ă leur niveau de maĂźtrise des structures langagiĂšres anciennes et modernes. La littĂ©rature mĂ©diĂ©vale renvoie Ă un cadre de pensĂ©e et de vie dont ils nâont pas le moindre soupçon. Face Ă ces difficultĂ©s, cet article recense quelques mĂ©thodes qui ont de notre point de vue Ă peu prĂšs rĂ©ussi Ă motiver les Ă©tudiants. Câest en particulier par la dĂ©couverte et la transcription des manuscrits que lâon rĂ©ussit le mieux Ă faire sentir aux Ă©tudiants le cadre institutionnel de lâĂ©criture mĂ©diĂ©vale, premiĂšre approche dâun univers culturel, et Ă stimuler assez leur curiositĂ© pour leur donner envie de dĂ©couvrir la langue
Maçons, trois fenĂȘtres sâil vous plaĂźt ! Le MystĂšre de sainte Barbe en 5 journĂ©es : un dĂ©cor qui se construit ?
Barbe, aussi appelĂ©e Barbara, connut une popularitĂ© rien moins que phĂ©nomĂ©nale aux derniers siĂšcles du Moyen Age. Rares sont les musĂ©es europĂ©ens ne renfermant qui une statue, qui un tableau ou un retable reprĂ©sentant la sainte. Il faut ajouter Ă cette liste les priĂšres et les miniatures contenues dans quantitĂ© de Livres dâHeures. Dans les seuls diocĂšses normands, entre le xiiie et le xve siĂšcle, lâhistorienne Catherine Vincent dĂ©nombre plus de 150 confrĂ©ries de sainte Barbe. Dâailleurs, le t..
Chercher lâintrus : le roi de chypre et le MystĂšre de sainte Barbe cinq journĂ©es
Il est des personnages dont la prĂ©sence sur scĂšne est dâautant plus signifiante quâelle est moins attendue. Ces intrus sâimposent Ă nos esprits et nous obligent Ă leur faire une place au sein dâune histoire dont on croyait connaĂźtre les protagonistes. Souvent ils Ă©voquent dâautres rĂ©cits, ils convoquent dâautres univers, des univers qui nous paraissent Ă©trangement familiers. Le MystĂšre de sainte Barbe en cinq journĂ©es possĂšde Ă©galement son intrus : le roi de Chypre. Nulle mention de lui ou de..
Chapitre XI. La parole doublant lâaction : maladresse ou choix esthĂ©tique ? La critique et ses prĂ©supposĂ©s
Gari R. Muller Ă©crivait en guise dâintroduction aux actes dâun colloque de la SITM (SociĂ©tĂ© Internationale du ThĂ©Ăątre MĂ©diĂ©val) sâĂ©tant dĂ©roulĂ© Ă Alençon en juillet 1977 : La boutade dâHenri Rey-Flaud, « le thĂ©Ăątre du Moyen Ăge est un inconnu », est presque aussi vraie aujourdâhui quâelle lâĂ©tait en 1973 quand il publiait son Ă©tude sur le thĂ©Ăątre en rond. Ce quâil voulait dire, câest que le thĂ©Ăątre du Moyen Ăge, aussi bien religieux que profane, est encore largement vu dans la perspective de ..
La farce comme on lâa voulue
Dans un roman bien construit (surtout dans le genre policier qui accorde une place essentielle Ă la fin de lâĆuvre), il ne devrait pas se trouver dâĂ©lectrons libres sans fonction, les fils narratifs qui ne sont pas poursuivis mettent en danger le bouclage du sens. Mais le texte accueille des Ă©lĂ©ments erratiques qui Ă©chappent Ă la vision globale, qui ne visent pas la fin, Ă©lĂ©ments de ce fait non signifiants. Le narrateur qui batifole [âŠ] fait apparaĂźtre la faille de la narration qui ne se prĂ©s..
Dessine-moi un mouton, ou la petite musique de lâancienne farce française
Le collage de textes que jâai proposĂ© en mars 2013 aux spectateurs de la ville de London Ontario au Canada et que jâai intitulĂ© Dessine-moi un mouton est en quelque sorte la rĂ©alisation dâun rĂȘve pour lâhistorien du thĂ©Ăątre et mĂ©diĂ©viste que je suis. DerriĂšre ce titre, qui Ă©voque Ă dessein lâĆuvre la plus connue de Saint-ExupĂ©ry, se profile un projet que je caressais depuis longtemps : mettre en scĂšne des farces des xve et xvie siĂšcles. Jâattendais impatiemment le moment de pouvoir partager m..
