Curricular Critique of an Environmental Education Policy Framework: Acting Today, Shaping Tomorrow
Authors: Karrow Douglas D. , Fazio Xavier
Published: August 2017

The following paper is a curricular critique of an environmental education policy framework called Acting Today, Shaping Tomorrow (2009). It is founded upon: (a) an examination of the conventional argument for integrated curriculum models and its relevance to K-12 environmental education; and (b) utilization of a typology of integrated curriculum models to analyze an environmental education policy framework within the jurisdiction of Ontario, Canada. In conclusion, Ontario’s environmental education policy framework tends toward an integrated curriculum model referred to as ‘selective infusion.’  The implications for integrated curricular practice are identified, with recommendations for improving the policy framework from an integrated curricular perspective.    Key Words: environmental education, integrated curriculum, curriculum critique, education policy.
Finding the Sweet Spot: Network Structures and Processes for Increased Knowledge Mobilization
Authors: Briscoe Patricia , Pollock Katina , Campbell Carol , Carr-Harris Shasta
Published: August 2017

The use of networks in public education is one of a number of knowledge mobilization (KMb) strategies utilized to promote evidence-based research into practice. However, challenges exist in the ability to effectively mobilizing knowledge through external partnership networks. The purpose of this paper is to further explore how networks work. Data was collected from virtual discussions for an interim report for a province-wide government initiative. A secondary analysis of the data was performed. The findings present network structures and processes that partners were engaged in when building a network within education. The implications of this study show that building a network for successful outcomes is complex and metaphorically similar to finding the “sweet spot.” It is challenging but networks that used strategies to align structures and processes proved to achieve more success in mobilizing research to practice.
Dealing with the Dead and Wounded: Field Medicine and the American Civil War
Authors: Thivierge Mathew Marc
Published: August 2017

An analysis of the developments of field medicine during the American Civil War (1861-1865), focusing mainly on the Union Army. Disease was the largest cause of death during the war and had a more profound effects on its outcome that many of the battles themselves, representing more than two thirds of all deaths over the course of the war. This essay examines the watershed moment in American medicine that the Civil War represented and how changes in medicine were brought about and enacted, paying close attention to the development of medical infrastructure, competency, and efficiency, both during and after the war and how these factors would lead to a fundamental shift in medicine.
Walrus Ivory and a History of Trade: Greenland Trade Networks in the North Atlantic
Authors: Svab Courtney
Published: August 2017

Focusing on the trade of walrus ivory between the Norse settlement of Greenland and Norway, this paper examines the evidence of trade in order to propose an interconnected understanding of the Viking North Atlantic. Beginning with trade norms built on a communal sense of honour and trust, the Scandinavian trade networks stretched across the North Atlantic as the Vikings moved west to settle new lands, connecting the North Atlantic. By examining the existence and prominence of trade in Viking culture, the foundation for trade with the Greenland settlement can be traced through the different trading centres across the Viking world. This provides new interpretations to the motives for the settlement of Greenland. Using the case of the Lewis Chessmen, the extent of North Atlantic trade networks can be revealed.
‘Malleable Minds’: Women of the Mau Mau
Authors: Urovitz Rachel
Published: August 2017

In the mid twentieth century, Britain was experiencing the beginnings of decolonization and heightened nationalistic movements from many of its colonial holdings and protectorate territories. Specifically, in 1952 the Mau Mau Uprising in Kenya highlighted colonial desires to be independent and exiled from the Empire. Simultaneously, the case study of the Mau Mau also shows the British government attempting to preserve the spirit of Empire. Continuing to demonstrate their motivations and purpose as the leading global imperial power in Kenya, the British exhibited their self-imposed paternalistic ‘duty’, as civilizing initiatives persisted. Critically analyzing the roles of female Mau Mau members in the rebellion demonstrates the cultural and ideological discrepancies between British and Kenyan conceptions of traditional gender roles and further, how British preconceived notions of gendered stereotypes provided an opportunity for Mau Mau women to exhibit significant political influence and agency that arguably contributed to the end of the rebellion (1956) and the eventual independence of Kenya (1963). Due to the contiguity of the crisis and the limited availability of sources on the Mau Mau, this paper seeks to shed light on the intersection between the perceptions and realities of Metropolitan and Mau Mau gender roles. Though the rebellion was multi-faceted and can be analyzed for a plethora of historical narratives, focusing specifically on the role female Mau Mau members played in the rebellion demonstrates the clashing British and Kikuyu conceptions of gender roles. Studying the Mau Mau women emphasizes the importance of considering women's roles in history as they factor into broader ideologies of race, politics, and culture, while also showing the shift in western historical approaches that are validating oral histories.
Beyond Human to Humane: A Multispecies Analysis of Care Work, Its Repression, and Its Potential
Authors: Coulter Kendra
Published: August 2017

This paper approaches care work through a multispecies and interspecies lens, and challenges readers to expand both their analysis and their ethical considerations in order to include animals. First I present a conceptual framework to help illuminate and unpack the care work animals do in the wild, in homes, and in formal workplaces. I then highlight the complex ways animals’ bodies, minds, and families are involved in the production of commodities for human consumption, and the implications of such practices for animals’ own forms of caregiving. Unfortunately, the fact is that for many animals, their primary experiences of care work are its repression. As a result, in the final section, I offer food for thought about the potential for care work to not only involve more empathetic embodied interactions and labour processes, but to be a springboard for expanded visions and projects of social justice which include humane jobs and recognize that “the social” is multispecies.

Frontier Government: The Folding of the Canada-US Border
Authors: O'Connor Daniel , De Lint Willem
Published: August 2017

In this paper the border is evaluated as a fold of power relations in which sovereign capacity and competence is marshalled alongside strategies of control, surveillance, and risk management to constitute, what we call, a zone of frontier government. We advance the argument that the border is a site for both negative and positive power, for insertion and subtraction, and that the assemblage of surveillance and compliance regimes are "run" not so much in the furtherance of a precautionary or pre-emptive end-state, but as intermediate values that are sufficiently malleable by an invigorated sovereign, expressed in the residue of discretion in and between the many border agencies.  Our analysis is based on extensive policy and program documents, as well as twenty-five interviews with officials in various agencies engaged in the US-Canada and, particularly, the Windsor-Detroit corridor.
Teaching For and About Critical Pedagogy in the Post-Secondary Classroom
Authors: Breunig Mary
Published: August 2017

While there is a body of literature that considers the theory of critical pedagogy, there is significantly less literature that specifically addresses the ways in which professors attempt to apply this theory in practice. This paper presents the results from a study that was designed, in part, to address this gap. Seventeen self-identified critical pedagogues participated in this qualitative research study. Participants reported their use of the following classroom practices, including: dialogue; group work; co-construction of syllabus; and experiential activities. This paper critically examines the social justice-oriented nature of these critical classroom practices.
Rights and Value: Construing the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights as Civil Commons
Authors: Baruchello Giorgio , Johnstone Rachael Lorna
Published: August 2017

This article brings together the United Nations’ International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR) and John McMurtry’s theory of value. In this perspective, the ICESCR is construed as a prime example of “civil commons,” while McMurtry’s theory of value is proposed as a tool of interpretation of the covenant. In particular, McMurtry’s theory of value is a hermeneutical device capable of highlighting: (a) what alternative conception of value systemically operates against the fulfilment of the rights enshrined in the ICESCR; (b) the increased relevance of the ICESCR with regard to the current global economic crisis; (c) the parameters to determine the degree to which the rights at issue have been realized. Reflections on environmental implications of both the ICESCR and McMurtry’s axiology conclude the article.
Towards a Social Justice Framework of Mental Health Recovery
Authors: Morrow Marina , Weisser Julia
Published: August 2017

In this paper we set out the context in which experiences of mental distress occur with an emphasis on the contributions of social and structural factors and then make a case for the use of intersectionality as an analytic and methodological framework for understanding these factors. We then turn to the political urgency for taking up the concept of recovery and argue for the importance of research and practice that addresses professional domination of the field, and that promotes ongoing engagement and dialogue about recovery as both a personal and social experience. To this end, we describe a unique project that sought to deepen our understanding of how recovery is being thought about and applied in the current context of mental health care in Vancouver, BC, with a specific focus on how, and whether, people are taking up and addressing dimensions of power that we see as critical to the operationalization of recovery within a social justice framework. Emerging from our research and discussion is a set of critical questions about whether or not the political moment in Canada with respect to re-invigorating recovery should be embraced, versus a rejection of the concept of recovery as too limiting in its scope and too vulnerable to professional co-optation.
Local Uses of International Criminal Justice in Bosnia-Herzegovina: Transcending Divisions or Building Parallel Worlds?
Authors: Guzina Dejan , Marijan Branka
Published: August 2017

Transitionaljustice mechanisms and the International Criminal Tribunal for the FormerYugoslavia (ICTY) have had only a limited success in overcoming ethnic divisionsin Bosnia-Herzegovina. Rather than elaborating upon the role of local politicalelites in perpetuating ethnic divisions, we examine ordinary peoples’ popularperceptions of war and its aftermath. In our view, the idea that elites havecomplete control over the broader narratives about the past is misplaced. Weargue that transitional justice and peace mechanisms supported by externalactors are always interpreted on the ground in context-specific ways, creatingdifferent citizens’ experiences, “memories” of the war, and their respectivehopes and disappointments in regards to the relationship between peace andjustice in Bosnia. We suggest that analyses of the post-conflict developments inBosnia-Herzegovina must take into account what gives the narratives ofexclusion their power, and what are the objective political, social andeconomic constraints that continue to provide a fertile ground for theirwidespread support.
Building Rhizomatic Social Movements? Movement-Building Relays during the Current Epoch of Contention
Authors: Funke Peter Nikolaus
Published: August 2017

This article investigates the movement building dynamics of contemporary social movement milieus (such as particular protests, social forums or occupations). It develops the concept of the “relay” to introduce four ideal-type movement building relays understood as distinct movement milieus: clustering relay, networking relay, organizing relay, and transforming relay. Each ideal-type captures different points on a continuum of increasing movement building and thus for generating commonalities, shared understandings and identities, mobilizations and strategies. Focusing on what I call the current “rhizomatic movement epoch,” which ranges from roughly the Zapatistas to the recent occupy-type protests, the relay framework can provide a larger conceptual umbrella or schemata for movement-to-movement transmissions. Moreover, focussing on “the situated” element of movements, the relay seeks to highlight the milieu of cooperation attempts, the physical, social and psychological space, the political-economic and socio-cultural setting, in which actors and groups interact. It focuses on those elements that are between the outside of the broader political economy and political opportunity structures (which arguably pre-structure the particular relay) and the “inside” of intra-group or movement behaviour (which in turn feeds back on the particular relay dynamics). While drawing on selected empirical examples from protests, social forums and networking attempts, this article has a conceptual focus, exploring possibilities by adoption of such a relay lens to further our understanding of movement building dynamics and the temporality of social movements, the current movement milieu and social movement theory more generally. As such, my hope is to raise questions and open further research avenues of interest to social movement organizers and scholars.
Subterranean Currents: Research and the Radical Imagination in the Age of Austerity
Authors: Khasnabish Alex
Published: August 2017

Against a backdrop of austerity, securitization, and the rampant enclosure of public spaces and democratic processes including the university and scholarship, this article critically explores what prefigurative engaged research – research capable of not simply documenting what is but contributing to struggles for social justice and social change – might look like, what it can contribute, and what its limitations are. Beyond familiar calls for a “public” or “applied” social science and drawing on a two-year-long project focused on radical social movements and the radical imagination in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, this article explores what politically-engaged social science research might offer to social justice struggles aiming to construct a more just, democratic, dignified, liberated, and peaceful world.
Food Desertification: Situating Choice and Class Relations within an Urban Political Economy of Declining Food Access
Authors: Bedore Melanie
Published: August 2017

While food deserts create whole sets of tangible consequences for people living within them, the problem has yet to be the subject of much normative, in-depth evaluation as an urban political economy of food access. This paper provides a critical analysis of a specific food desert and its responses, drawing on a case study of the low-income, spatially segregated North End of the small city of Kingston, Ontario, Canada. The main thrust of the paper is that the food desert remains a useful yet underexplored phenomenon through which to reveal the complexities and tensions surrounding the treatment of “choice” in a classed society. Understood as an urban political economy of declining food access, the food desert phenomenon reveals capital’s complex role in the promotion or violation of dignity through the urban geographies of acquiring food for oneself, family, or household. Through the data presented here, the article also argues for a collective pause among critical scholars to radicalize, rather than reject, the role of consumer choice in a more just food system, and for further normative engagement with urban landscapes of retail consolidation.
Voices From the Margins: The Regulation of Student Activism in the New Corporate University
Authors: Brulé Elizabeth
Published: August 2017

This article critically examines recent revisions to student codes of conduct in Ontario’s universities, by focusing specifically on York University. It illustrates how these policy changes have been informed by a new rights and responsibility discourse designed to reduce political conflict on campuses. Couched in terms of promoting student inclusion, fairness, and campus safety, this discourse works with managerial technologies to increase the surveillance and regulation of student political advocacy work. I argue that these changes to student codes of conduct obfuscate the ways in which corporate-service sector relations operate to depoliticize student dissent and silence marginalized student voices, especially voices that raise controversial issues of oppression and challenge the status quo. In developing this argument I also discuss the contradictory and uneven ways that student activists respond to these discourses, and the effects of this new regime on the social organization and social relations of students’ political activist work.
Le cinéma identitaire franco-ontarien : un cas de figure de la fatigue culturelle
Authors: Miville Serge
Published: August 2017

Les études sur le cinéma franco-ontarien sont peu nombreuses ; outre les articles parus dans la revue Liaison et au tour d’horizon de la cinématographie francophone hors Québec que propose Jean-Claude Jaubert dans le collectif Toutes les photos finissent-elles par se ressembler ? (1999), les chercheurs se sont peu intéressés à ce chantier. En effet, un seul texte savant est paru sous la plume de Lucie Hotte, qui propose une lecture comparée du recueil Le Dernier des Franco-Ontariens de Pierre Albert et du film éponyme de Jean Marc Larivière et Marie Cadieux. Pourtant, le cinéma professionnel existe en Ontario français depuis plus de quarante ans. Les productions cinématographiques sont variées et relativement nombreuses. Afin de pallier l’absence d’analyse savante, ce texte analyse quatre œuvres documentaires du septième art traitant de la problématique identitaire franco-ontarienne, soit une par décennie depuis les années soixante-dix. Les films retenus sont J’ai besoin d’un nom de Paul Lapointe (1978), Deux voix, comme en écho de Claudette Jaiko (1987), Le Dernier des Franco-Ontariens de Jean Marc Larivière (1996) et Pis nous autres dans tout ça ? d’Andréanne Germain (2007).
La spatialisation de la vie et de la mort dans Depuis toujours, j’entendais la mer d’Andrée Christensen
Authors: Abd El-Salam Sarah
Published: August 2017

Dans Depuis toujours, j’entendais la mer d’Andrée Christensen, la thématique de la vie et de la mort ainsi que le rapport que celles-ci entretiennent avec les personnages, sont au cœur du récit. Lorsqu’Andrea reçoit une lettre de Thorvald, son cousin défunt, jointe à un carnet de notes, la narratrice du récit-cadre est tout d’un coup immergée dans un univers qui, bien que fondamentalement funeste, est marqué par une profonde aspiration à la vie. Par ailleurs, c’est à travers la construction d’espaces symboliques qu’est traitée la problématique de la vie et de la mort dans ce roman ou, plus précisément, dans le récit enchâssé sur lequel portera, en large partie, notre analyse. À un espace-clé du récit correspond donc un système et une charge symbolique qui lui est propre. Les deux espaces que nous analyserons, soit l’eau et la morgue, sont d’abord présentés comme s’ils étaient antagonistes, mais c’est à travers une dialectique symbolique menant à leur enchevêtrement que notre personnage Thorvald atteindra la paix intérieure. Notre étude montrera que la philosophie vers laquelle tend l’ensemble du roman, est au mieux appréhendée à la lumière d’une analyse symbolique de l’espace. Nous examinerons la spatialisation de la vie et de la mort dans l’eau, puis dans la morgue, pour ensuite nous pencher sur le processus de réconciliation, menant ultimement à la fusion des deux symboliques.
Les mondes métaleptiques d’Éric Chevillard
Authors: Shaw Aimie
Published: August 2017

L’œuvre d’Éric Chevillard est composée d’intrigues kaléidoscopiques dans lesquelles se trouvent des personnages chimériques sans vision claire de comment réaliser leurs projets absurdes. Le lecteur, comme le personnage, est donc confronté à des histoires qui ont le potentiel de le mener dans plusieurs sens. Chaque fois que le lecteur se sent sur le point d’esquisser le portrait d’un homme qui aurait pu changer profondément le monde (Dino Egger, 2010), chaque fois qu’il croit que le narrateur a épuisé la liste de répercussions de l’extinction du dernier orang-outan (Sans l’orang-outan, 2007) ou lorsque le protagoniste réussit enfin à écrire quelques mots de ses mémoires (Du hérisson, 2002), Chevillard incorpore un nouveau doute ou une nouvelle hésitation, et manipule les attentes antérieurement établies par le texte. Subséquemment, plus le lecteur lit, plus se perd-il dans l’histoire, et à la place d’un dénouement net se trouve une série de propos emberlificotés provoquant chez le lecteur une incertitude profonde. Une certaine impossibilité, ou une résistance, émerge en tentant de résumer les éléments qui forment les univers romanesques de Chevillard. Bien qu’individuellement chaque aspect de sa fiction ressemble de près ou de loin aux préoccupations esthétiques d’autres auteurs contemporains, la vue d’ensemble résulte en une suite de contradictions fuyantes qui nous empêche de saisir son esthétique et de la réduire à un tout unidimensionnel.
La filature cotonnière qui a tissé une communauté
Authors: Therrien Joël
Published: August 2017

Le travail de Joël Therrien examine son héritage franco-ontarien ainsi que la population francophone de Welland autour de la fabrique de coton Empire. Sa recherche porte essentiellement sur l’émergence et le déclin relativement récent des communautés francophones du sud de l’Ontario. Ce phénomène est rendu par l’entropie inhérente à ses créations interactives, lesquelles invitent également les spectateurs à briser le décorum des galeries d’art et à éveiller en eux le sens ludique.

La question de la citation : entre la pratique littéraire et la pratique juridique
Authors: Lawson-Hellu Laté
Published: August 2017

Pour une perspective herméneutique comme la théorie postcoloniale, la lecture du texte littéraire vise à en produire un discours politique fondé sur la résistance au fait colonial. Dans sa rencontre avec la pratique de la citation dans la recherche universitaire, émerge la nécessité de conformité de cette pratique de la citation à son fondement juridique, du fait de sa valeur d’authentification ou d’assertion du travail critique produit par son biais, et cela, au contraire du consensus minimaliste actuel qui l’entoure dans le domaine de la recherche en sciences humaines. Dans le cas d’une réfutation postcoloniale des thèses colonialistes apposées par exemple à l’œuvre de l’écrivain francophone Félix Couchoro, devient ainsi évidente une telle nécessité.

Gérondif « non-coréférentiel »
Authors: Watanabe Jun-Ya
Published: August 2017

Par « gérondif non-coréférentiel », nous entendons le gérondif dont le sujet n'est pas coréférentiel avec celui de la proposition régissante. Il s'agit là d'un emploi souvent qualifié d'anomalie grammaticale. Notre enquête dans le corpus « Corpatext 1.02 » a révélé que les conditions prototypiques du gérondif non-coréférentiel étaient (i) les verbes psycho-cognitifs pour le gérondif, et (ii) l'aspect lexical non-borné pour le verbe de la proposition régissante. Nous affirmons par là que c'est le sujet de cognition sous-jacent à la proposition régissante qui est le sujet implicite du gérondif non-coréférentiel, et que ce dernier est une façon d'expression qui reflète le « mode I » selon Nakamura (2009), à savoir un mode de cognition qui pénètre dans la réalité observée.

Non-coreferential gérondif

Abstract: By "non-coreferential gérondif" I mean the gérondif whose subject is not coreferential with that of the matrix clause. It is often considered grammatically anomalous. Our investigation in the corpus "Corpatext 1.02" revealed that the prototypical conditions of the coreferential gérondif were (i) the psycho-cognitive verb in the gérondif, and (ii) the atelic verb, a verb that expresses an unbounded situation, in the matrix clause. Therefore, it is the subject of cognition implied in the matrix-clause situation that is the implicit subject of non-coreferential gérondif. I argue that this type of gérondif reflects the way of expression with "I" mode in the sens of Nakamura (2009), namely, a mode of cognition with a viewpoint that slips into the observed reality.

Violences coloniales et écriture de la transgression chez deux auteures ultra-marines : Déwé Görödé et Chantal Spitz
Authors: Ogès Audrey
Published: August 2017

Cet article instruit un parallèle entre deux auteures du Pacifique : Déwé Görödé et Chantal Spitz, l'une kanak, l'autre polynésienne. Il montre comment ces deux femmes expriment leurs souffrances, dans une position anti-coloniale. Ceci se traduit dans l'écriture, où le refus des normes et des formes liées à la culture française est omniprésent : transgressions des genres, déconstruction des codes grammaticaux, recours à des formes linguistiques jugées « familières » ou « populaires », expression de la révolte et de la violence.... Elles assument cette nouvelle parole, et ce nouveau style d'écriture, qui est le leur, accédant ainsi à une liberté nouvelle.

Colonial violences and subversive writing in Déwé Görödé and Chantal Spitz books.

Abstract: Déwé Görödé and Chantal Spitz are two postcolonial writers from the Pacific, the first one is Kanak and the second one is Polynesian. These two women free and rebellious don't respect the norms in their books : they want to show the violence of the colonialism in their countries. Their style is dashing and broken : these writers don't respect the grammatical norms, as they put it, and the art of writing reflects their free state of mind. This singular writing is the affirmation of their freedom.

Authors: Sullivan Maryse
Published: August 2017

Dans cet article, nous étudions la figure de la sorcière dans Moi, Tituba sorcière… de Maryse Condé afin de voir comment elle dialogue avec les discours postcoloniaux et féministes de l’époque. Nous analysons d’abord l’intertextualité construit dans le roman avec la pièce d’Arthur Miller Les sorcières de Salem en regardant comment Condé transforme les événements qui ont eu lieu à Salem en 1692 et comment elle réhabilite le personnage de Tituba. Nous nous penchons ensuite sur la figure de la sorcière et des marginaux dans le texte en vue de comprendre sa construction protéiforme et ses points de contact avec les discours ambiants.

La représentation de la sexualité dans la littérature féminine du nouveau millénaire : le cas de Catherine Millet
Authors: Dumas Nathalie
Published: August 2017

Frédéric Beigbeder, dans son dernier roman intitulé Windows on the World, en vient à la conclusion que, de nos jours, le Play-boy international n’est en fait plus qu’un célibataire en quête de jouissance, ne chassant que la femme superficielle ou la prostituée. Selon l’auteur, aujourd’hui le Play-boy international est une femme. Une Bridget Jones ou une Carrie Bradschaw de Sex and the City (Beigbeder, 178 et 231). Le type de femme qui fait peur, qui assume et expose sa féminité et son indépendance ainsi que sa sexualité. Catherine Millet, rédactrice en chef du magazine Art Press, est l’une d’elles. Dans La vie sexuelle de Catherine M., publié en avril 2001, elle expose au grand public, d’une manière peu conventionnelle, les détails de sa vie sexuelle allant souvent au-delà de l’écriture dite féminine.

Cet article porte sur la façon dont l’écrivain antillais Gisèle Pineau entrevoit la possibilité de rapprocher des espaces culturels apparemment irréconciliables par le biais d’un nouvel espace, celui de la remémoration et de l’écriture. Dans cet entre-deux, espace métissé par excellence, les personnages féminins de L’Exil selon Julia, ainsi que ceux d’autres écrits (auto)biographiques de Pineau, se confrontent à de nouveaux signes identitaires qui les obligent à jeter un regard critique sur le pays d’accueil, sans pour autant idéaliser à outrance le pays d’origine. Une attention particulière sera attachée au vocable créole ici-là, porteur de significations multiples.

De la chambre au chapitre : l’hotel virtuel de Suite à l’hotel crystal
Authors: Dangy Isabelle
Published: August 2017

Suite à l’hôtel Crystal (2004) d’Olivier Rolin propose quarante-trois cellules romanesques contiguës consacrées chacune à la description d’une chambre d’hôtel suivie du récit d’un épisode, généralement loufoque, survenu lors du séjour du narrateur dans cette chambre. Ce texte ironique invite à réfléchir sur les enjeux littéraires liés à l’identification de la chambre et du chapitre, sur l’effet provoqué par une écriture de la reprise et de la variation, et sur le sens de l’édifice virtuel construit par la juxtaposition en un même lieu romanesque de chambres situées en des points dispersés de la planète.
Sexualité, échange de pouvoir et science-fiction : Une étude SMiotique de quelques textes de science-fiction québécoise
Authors: Bérard Sylvie
Published: August 2017

Cet article s’attarde à trois textes de science-fiction québécoise contemporaine mettant en scène une interaction

sadomasochiste: « La carte du tendre » d’Élisabeth Vonarburg, Lame d’Esther Rochon et La mue de

l'hermaphrodite de Karoline Georges. Combinant entre autres l’analyse du discours narratif, les théories

psychanalytiques, et l’étude de la performance, il s’intéresse non seulement à ce que la science-fiction nous dit de

la sexualité et du sadomasochisme, mais il tente de cerner ce que le sadomasochisme, en tant que cadre

d’analyse, peut nous apprendre à propos de l’écriture de science-fiction et, pourquoi pas, à propos de l’écriture en

général.
La migration du symbolisme parisien au Canada français et sa réception à l'épreuve du nationalisme : le cas de la poésie d'Emile Nelligan (1899-1980)
Authors: Alharbi Sarah
Published: August 2017

Par le biais d’une étude axée sur l’herméneutique littéraire conçue par les adeptes de l’École de Constance, cet article se propose d’aborder le thème de la réception d’Émile Nelligan au Canada français. Il se nourrit des pistes théoriques développées par Hans Robert Jauss dans Pour une esthétique de la réception. Tout en couvrant une période historique qui s’étend entre 1899-1980, cette étude tient à illustrer la complexité et le paradoxe qui caractérisent l’activité de communication (œuvre/lecteur), à analyser les jugements de valeur de quelques exemples des parties prenantes de la critique de la « négativité », et à examiner le phénomène de la réception d’une poésie « en train de se faire ».
Le Clézio et l'immigration : le tragique du réel
Authors: Mimoso-Ruiz Bernadette
Published: August 2017

Nous retiendrons trois œuvres représentatives de Le Clézio qui appartiennent à des registres différents : Désert, en lien direct avec la colonisation et ses conséquences, la nouvelle « Le Passeur » évocatrice du drame des immigrés clandestins et Etoile errante, fondée sur l’émigration croisée des Juifs et des Palestiniens. Chacune de ces œuvres tisse des liens entre réel et fiction, empruntant un cadre ou une situation à des données tangibles perceptibles dans le temps et dans l’espace, comme autant de repères reconnaissables. Le réel de la réalité, se sublime par les mots qui l’expriment, dans une poétique des affects soulevant le voile pour accéder à une vérité. Ce réel crédible, représenté par les jalons spatiotemporels, porte la voix de l’insurrection contre les injustices qui privent des être humains de leur dignité, les confinent dans le silence et les dépossèdent de leur identité.

Comme la didactique est un domaine de réflexions sur les pratiques d’enseignement/apprentissage et en raison de la difficulté des scripteurs à se représenter un équilibre entre les connaissances et les attentes des lecteurs potentiels de leur écrit, nous analysons les effets d’une variante du travail collaboratif sur les procédés de réécriture mis en œuvre en situation de production écrite individuelle, et par hypothèse, sur les capacités cognitives de prise en charge du lecteur différé du message. Il s'agit précisément d’analyser les développements du contenu sémantique d'un texte descriptif en français langue étrangère, écrit et réécrit en situation individuelle, par des apprenants de première année licence de français, suite aux annotations mentionnées par les pairs. Le socioconstructivisme (Vygotsky; Jonnaert) prône le rôle majeur des interactions sociales dans la construction et la reconstruction des connaissances. Les recherches sur la cognition soulignent le besoin de développer la responsabilité individuelle au niveau de la construction des connaissances.

Quels choix s’offrent aux femmes qui optent pour une carrière de bédéiste ? Il y a d’abord le modèle de la BD traditionnelle, établi par des pionniers comme Hergé dans la première moitié du XXe siècle et qui s’adresse à un lectorat essentiellement masculin. Le modèle de la BD alternative, quant à lui, favorise la recherche esthétique au détriment des ventes. Enfin, avec le modèle du shōjō manga, venu du Japon, des femmes créent des BD pour des femmes à propos de femmes.
Alternative Approach for Combining Multiple Crash Modification Factors Using Adjustment Function and Analytic Hierarchy Process
Authors: Park Juneyoung , Abdel-Aty Mohamed A.
Published: August 2017

The safety effects of multiple treatments have recently emerged as an important issue of validation for the Highway Safety Manual procedures to improve performance of the predictive process. To estimate the combined safety effects of multiple crash modification factors (CMFs) more reliably, several combining approaches have been suggested. However, several critical issues still exist for the combining methods, such as overestimation, region-specific method, and a nonscientific approach. Therefore, this study suggests a novel adjustment method to combine multiple CMFs and to enhance the reliability of combining the safety effects of multiple treatments. Various combinations of CMFs for single and multiple treatments were estimated or obtained from previous studies and used for an exploratory analysis. Moreover, an alternative combining approach with the development of an adjustment function was suggested through comparison with the existing combining methods by using a multicriterion decision-making process. The results show that the proposed alternative combining method provides better estimates than the existing methods and can account for different roadway types and severity levels. Thus, it can be recommended that the safety effects of multiple treatments be estimated with the proposed new combining approach to overcome the overestimation issue and produce results that are more reliable.
Unsteady Convective Diffusion with Interphase Mass Transfer in Casson Liquid

Published: August 2017

This study aims to examine the  dispersion of a passive contaminant of solute released  in Casson liquid flow through a tube. The wall of the tube is taken to be chemically active where the flow is driven by the constant pressure gradient. To evaluate the transport coefficients, Aris-Barton’s Moment technique is considered, a finite difference implicit scheme is adopted to handle the differential equation arises in moment methodology. Also to confirm the results obtained by Aris-Barton’s method,  the generalized dispersion model has been applied. Unlike the previous studies on dispersion in Casson liquid, the time-dependent behavior of the transport coefficients has been established. Some significant observations have been founded, e.g. exchange coefficient is independent of yield stress while the convection coefficient and dispersion coefficient are inversely proportional to yield stress. Results reveal that transport coefficients are enormously affected by wall absorption.
Detection of viruses of Bangladeshi and Japanese garlic and their elimination through root meristem culture
Authors: Haque MS , Hattori K
Published: August 2017

A number of viruses cause considerable yield loss and quality deterioration in garlic. Root meristems of virus infected plants are known to be free from detectable viruses. This potentiality could be exploited to obtain virus free clones at a high frequency by culturing excised root meristems in vitro. We have developed efficient methods of direct and somatic embryo derived shoot regeneration from root meristems of garlic. The objectives of this work were to detect viruses infecting Bangladeshi and Japanese garlic clones and find an easy and efficient method of eliminating the viruses for the improvement of both yield and quality of garlic. At first, we confirmed the presence of detectable viruses in three Bangladeshi and one Japanese clones. The clones were infected with four different types of viruses: Garlic viruses (GarVs), Onion yellow dwarf virus (OYDV), Leek yellow stripe virus (LYSV), and Garlic common latent virus (GCLV). To eliminate those viruses, as per our previous method, root meristems were cultured on MS medium supplemented with 1.0 µM NAA and 10.0 µM BA. Shoot primordia developed from the cultured explants within 1 month. The regenerated individual shoot buds (2-5 mm) were separated from the mother explants and transferred to growth regulators free medium. RT-PCR confirmed that the viruses present in the mother garlic plants were absent in the shoots found after two-step culture. The regenerated shoots were rooted on growth regulator free medium and transferred to pots. Results indicated that the plants remained free from LYSV. Virus elimination through root meristem culture emerged as an efficient novel technique for the eradication of multiple viruses as confirmed by RT-PCR in this study. This technique has the potential for the production and supply of virus free propagules (plants/bulblets) for the yield and quality improvement of garlic.Progressive Agriculture 28 (2): 55-63, 2017

The study was conducted to measure the contribution of women to their household income, to analyze the pattern of womens participation in decision making process, their perceptions and impact of income on decision making process. The study was carried out at three villages of Mymensingh Sadar Upazila. Data were collected from 50 rural households by random sampling technique with a structured questionnaire. The obtained data were analyzed by using tabular and different statistical techniques. The results of the study showed that the pattern of womens contribution to household income has been changed. In the study area, women were participating in various income generating activities such as crop production, post-harvest activities, poultry rearing, management of livestock and fisheries, etc. Male and female rendered their involvement in income generating activities for 220 man-days and 204 man-days per year, respectively. The average annual womens contribution to household income was estimated at Tk. 42000 per year which was about 43.52 percent of the total household income. The multiple regression analysis showed that womens income was positively related with womens education and farm size but negatively related with age, family size and indebtedness. A logistic regression analysis showed that womens participation in decision making process was negatively related with family size, but positively related with respondents age, education, farm size, income and occupation. Women rendered a great deal of contribution in making decision on post-harvest operation, management of production activities, selling of crops, rearing poultry, goat and cattle, purchasing of agricultural inputs, etc. To reduce their economic, social and political constraints, the study suggested providing logistic supports such as health care facility, credit facility, input supply, agricultural extension services, need-based training, etc. in order to increase their participation in income generating activities and different household decision making events.Progressive Agriculture 28 (2): 120-129, 2017
Improving Asphalt Mixture Performance by Partially Replacing Bitumen with Waste Motor Oil and Elastomer Modifiers
Authors: Fernandes Sara , Peralta Joana , Oliveira Joel , Williams R. , Silva Hugo
Published: August 2017

The environmental concern about waste generation and the gradual decrease of oil reserves has led the way to finding new waste materials that may partially replace the bitumens used in the road paving industry. Used motor oil from vehicles is a waste product that could answer that demand, but it can also drastically reduce the viscosity, increasing the asphalt mixture’s rutting potential. Therefore, polymer modification should be used in order to avoid compromising the required performance of asphalt mixtures when higher amounts of waste motor oil are used. Thus, this study was aimed at assessing the performance of an asphalt binder/mixture obtained by replacing part of a paving grade bitumen (35/50) with 10% waste motor oil and 5% styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) as an elastomer modifier. A comparison was also made with the results of a previous study using a blend of bio-oil from fast pyrolysis and ground tire rubber modifier as a partial substitute for usual PG64-22 bitumen. The asphalt binders were tested by means of Fourier infrared spectra and dynamic shear rheology, namely by assessing their continuous high-performance grade. Later, the water sensitivity, fatigue cracking resistance, dynamic modulus and rut resistance performance of the resulting asphalt mixtures was evaluated. It was concluded that the new binder studied in this work improves the asphalt mixture’s performance, making it an excellent solution for paving works.
Accelerated Sine-on-Random Vibration Test Method of Ground Vehicle Components over Conventional Single Mode Excitation
Authors: Kim Chan-Jung
Published: August 2017

Automotive manufacturers typically assess the mechanical durability performance of ground vehicle components for vibration excitation using either random or harmonic spectral loading patterns, such as the loading patterns suggested in international standards (e.g., ISO-16750-3). Selection of the correct excitation profile is dependent on the service condition of the component of interest. However, in the instance where the vehicle component is exposed to both harmonic excitations and background noise, the severity of impact of the in-service environment cannot be satisfied via a single random or harmonic test alone. In this case, the optimal test strategy is to evaluate the vehicle component under a sine-on-random excitation. Within this study, a uniaxial excitation test was conducted for a notched simple specimen under three spectral loading cases (harmonic, random, and sine-on-random), and the test severity was determined based on two kinds of fatigue damage: the physical damage from measured strain and the calculated pseudo-damage from acceleration measurements, as indicated in ISO-16750-3. Based on this comparison of accumulated fatigue damage, the efficiency of the proposed sine-on random vibration was proved against conventional single spectral pattern test methods.
