La crise dâOka dans les rĂ©cits de Myra Cree et dâYves Boisvert : ReprĂ©sentations en perspective
Cet article sâintĂ©resse aux reprĂ©sentations de la crise dâOka dans les rĂ©cits de lâauteure mohawk Myra Cree et du poĂšte quĂ©bĂ©cois Yves Boisvert, tout particuliĂšrement Ă la dĂ©limitation des perspectives auxquelles donne lieu le conflit. Il montre que si les Ă©crits de Cree circonscrivent une perspective politique dĂ©finie et communiquent une prise de position sans Ă©quivoque, les poĂšmes de Boisvert tiennent quant Ă eux davantage dâune dĂ©stabilisation du langage et du sens, tout en Ă©tant caractĂ©risĂ©s par une certaine esthĂ©tisation de la rĂ©volte contre lâordre Ă©tabli. La symbolisation de la crise dâOka dans les rĂ©cits littĂ©raires permet de mieux apprĂ©hender la façon dont lâĂ©vĂ©nement â dont on commĂ©more le vingtiĂšme anniversaire cette annĂ©e â a marquĂ© les imaginaires quĂ©bĂ©cois et autochtones.This article examines the representations of the Oka crisis in the narratives of the Mohawk author Myra Cree and of the QuĂ©bĂ©cois poet Yves Boisvert, more specifically the delimitation of perspectives created by the conflict. It shows that while Creeâs narrative defines a clear political perspective and take an unequivocal stance, Boisvertâs poetry has more to do with a destabilization of language and meaning while being characterised by an esthetization of rebellion against the establishment. The symbolization of the Oka crisis in literary narratives can help us to better comprehend how the event, of which we are commemorating the 20th anniversary this year, left its mark on the imagination of QuĂ©bĂ©cois and Native peoples

Penser la ville close : rue et peÌrimeÌtre de seÌcuriteÌ, QueÌbec 2001
In April 2001, Quebec city was host to the third Summit of the Americas, a significant political event bringing together the continent's heads of state in order to constitute a Free Trade Agreement of the Americas (FTAA). Sixty thousands protesters converged in Quebec city to express their opposition to the FTAA. A security perimeter was raised in the upper part of the city in order to facilitate the leaders' protection by separating them from the mass of protesters. This thesis engages with the geopolitical takeover of the city and the space management conducted by the authorities for the sake of staging the power. Based on the spatial exclusion of contesting citizens, the redefinitions of urban practices around protest are analysed. This thesis analyses the dramatic exploitation of violent protest by the authorities in order to divide the movement of opposition. The images which were constructed by the authorities and represented in the media opposed the experience of those on the city streets. This thesis will then examine the presence of a carnivalesque spectacle, and the forms of festive protest within the public space
Discours critiques pour lâĂ©tude de la littĂ©rature autochtone dans lâespace francophone du QuĂ©bec
Cet article sâintĂ©resse aux rĂ©flexions thĂ©oriques et analytiques pouvant servir Ă lâĂ©tude de la littĂ©rature autochtone dans lâespace francophone du QuĂ©bec. Il dresse dâabord un Ă©tat des lieux de la littĂ©rature autochtone de langue française, puis fait valoir que les travaux rĂ©alisĂ©s dans lâespace anglophone en AmĂ©rique du Nord peuvent non seulement enrichir les rĂ©flexions qui prennent forme autour de la littĂ©rature autochtone de langue française au QuĂ©bec, mais Ă©galement soutenir la lĂ©gitimation de cette derniĂšre dans les universitĂ©s francophones. Lâarticle dĂ©gage quelques pistes de recherche Ă partir de discours critiques Ă©laborĂ©es par les Ă©tudes littĂ©raires autochtones dans lâespace anglophone (par exemple, sur lâĂ©pistĂ©mologie de la recherche et lâoralitĂ© Ă lâĆuvre dans lâĂ©criture littĂ©raire et thĂ©Ăątrale), puis montre en quoi les discours critiques et les Ćuvres littĂ©raires et thĂ©Ăątrales des crĂ©ateurs autochtones dont les Ćuvres sont diffusĂ©es dans lâespace francophone participent de cette rĂ©flexion. La conclusion attire lâattention sur les questions que pose le contexte particulier du QuĂ©bec en ce qui a trait Ă la littĂ©rature et aux Ă©tudes littĂ©raires autochtones
La légende du windigo dans la création autochtone contemporaine au Québec
Working with the notions of ethics and sovereignty developed in the field of Indigenous literary studies in North America, this article examines the uses of the legend of the windigo in contemporary Indigenous creation, more specifically in a francophone context. In contrast with the Western construction of the windigo psychosis, this article focuses on the conceptualization of a recurring violence in the short fiction film Windigo by Anishnabe director Kris Happyjack-McKenzie
