« Câest pas par plaisir quâils voyagent ! » Chanson et migration â contextualisation, thĂ©matique et point de vue narratif
How can the rich panorama of French songs which scholars tend to identify as âsongs of migrationâ be characterized? The chanson politique, the chanson engagĂ©e, and the chanson de la migration â all three of them make statements about society but the latter is specific in its themes: It focuses on the individual and/or the collective experience of forced displacement and migration, which have been the lot of thousands and thousands of people in the past three decades. In the first part of this article, the history of French immigration is outlined in order to contextualise the 60 songs chosen for analysis. After briefly highlighting the complexity and plurimediality of the artistic form of the chanson, the second part concentrates on the themes addressed and on the narrative perspective; it ends with Louis Calvet who stated as early as 1976 that a chanson can be political for three reasons: the authorâs intentionality, the topics dealt with, and the way in which the contemporary society âlivesâ the respective songs

LâĂ©mergence des Ă©tudes francophones et quĂ©bĂ©coises en Autriche
LâĂ©mergence des Ă©tudes quĂ©bĂ©coises en Autriche est Ă©troitement liĂ©e Ă celle des Ă©tudes francophones et toutes deux tĂ©moignent dâun changement de paradigme qui, dans une certaine mesure, affecte aussi le rĂŽle de la France. AprĂšs la guerre, celle-ci est sans aucun doute lâalternative la plus importante Ă lâAllemagne; lâapprentissage du français au secondaire prend son essor jusquâaux annĂ©es 1960, tandis que dans les universitĂ©s autrichiennes les Ă©tudes françaises ne sortent de la tutelle pan-romaniste typique des pays de langue allemande quâau cours des annĂ©es 1970. Les annĂ©es 1980 Ă 1990 amĂšnent par la suite la naissance des Ă©tudes francophones qui, aujourdâhui, contribuent visiblement Ă façonner le profil des universitĂ©s autrichiennes: si Vienne est lâuniversitĂ© « la plus francophone » de lâAutriche, Innsbruck semble ĂȘtre lâuniversitĂ© « la plus quĂ©bĂ©coise ». En gĂ©nĂ©ral, les Ă©tudes quĂ©bĂ©coises en Autriche se situent surtout dans le domaine des Lettres et plus particuliĂšrement dans celui de la littĂ©rature. Pendant longtemps, elles ont Ă©tĂ© liĂ©es Ă des chercheurs individuels, avant dâentrer dans une phase de consolidation et dâinstitutionnalisation avec, entre autres, la crĂ©ation du Centre dâĂ©tude de la chanson quĂ©bĂ©coise Ă lâUniversitĂ© dâInnsbruck. Le prĂ©sent article ne prĂ©sente pas seulement les recherches des principaux quĂ©bĂ©cistes autrichiens, mais aussi lâĂ©volution des activitĂ©s de confĂ©renciers et le dĂ©veloppement de lâenseignement universitaire.The emergence of Quebec studies in Austria is closely linked to that of Francophone studies and both are indicative of a paradigm change which, to a certain extent, also affects the role of France. After the war, France was without a doubt the most important alternative to Germany, and the teaching of French in high school increased up to the 1960s. Nevertheless, French Studies in Austrian universities did not escape the «pan-romaniste - tutelage typical of German-language countries until the 1970s. The 1980s and 1990s in turn saw the birth of Francophone Studies which today visibly contribute to shaping the profile of the Austrian universities: if Vienna is Austria's "most francophone" university, Innsbruck seems to be the "most quĂ©bĂ©cois". In general, Quebec Studies in Austria are situated mainly in the humanities, and more particularly in the field of literature. For a long time, they were linked to individual researchers, but they have now moved into a phase of consolidation and institutionalization with, among others, the creation of the Centre for the Study of Quebec Song at the University of Innsbruck. This article presents not only the research of the principal Austrian QuĂ©bĂ©cistes, but also the evolution of conference activities and the development of university teaching
