    Religious experiences in French-speaking writing and expressions

    Cet atelier organisé dans le cadre du congrès de l’association des professeurs de français des universités et collèges canadiens, se propose de réfléchir sur la place du fait religieux dans les écritures et expressions linguistiques francophones. Il cherche à établir ainsi un bilan de l’intégration du fait religieux dans l’intelligibilité du fait francophone, dans la suite des travaux qui réévaluent désormais le legs du fait colonial dans ce fait littéraire. Les contributions souhaitées devraient donc permettre d’en dresser un panorama autant historique qu’actuel en vue d’une publication prévue pour le printemps 2016.

    Mediations

    2015 FSAC / ACEF Annual Meeting

    In accordance with the theme of “Capital Ideas” for the 2015 Congress of the Humanities and Social Sciences, the Folklore Studies Association of Canada / l’Association canadienne d’ethnologie et de folklore has selected “Mediations” as the theme for our 2015 annual conference program. The theme of “Mediations” is an invitation for scholars and students of folklore, popular culture, and cultural heritage to examine how the transmission of knowledge and ideas emerges from a complex background of skills, traditions and performances. As cultural forms, practices, representations and traditions are constantly going through processes of translation, adaptation, and mediation, this entails that, paradoxically, practices of cultural conservation and transmission often rely on technological innovations and the creation and extension of new infrastructures of mediation.

    The Americas and elsewhere, sparking up the imagination

    S’il est indéniable que l’arrivée massive des européens en Amérique entraîna des bouleversements aussi durables que funestes pour les populations autochtones, qu’en est-il de l’émergence des Amériques dans le champ discursif européen ? Révolution théologique et crise de conscience, assurément, mais aussi, selon toute évidence, refonte de l’imaginaire et constitution d'un réservoir de régularités dicibles. Dans le cadre de cette journée d'étude, nous proposons de réfléchir aux fonctions symboliques des Amériques sous l'Ancien Régime, non seulement dans Manon Lescaut, mais aussi dans Les mariages de Canada et les Aventures de Monsieur Robert Chevalier, dit de Beauchêne de Lesage, de même que dans la masse impressionnante d’œuvres sombrées dans un oubli relatif ou total, comme les étonnantes Lettres iroquoises. Que nous apprennent les topoï qui y sont véhiculés sur les manifestations littéraires du discours social ? En quoi une allusion au Canada (ou à l’ailleurs) enrichit-elle une œuvre, lui confère-t-elle un je ne sais quoi de piquant ?

    1st International Symposium: Hope, Betrayal and Trust

    Part of the Research Program on: Lost Virtues, Found Vices

    This trans-disciplinary research project is interested in exploring the complex and fluid relationships between hope and trust, and how might betrayal play a productive role in this bond. As concepts, ideas or simple notions, hope and trust seem to have simultaneously lost contemporary currency while being ever more necessary in our every day lives. We seem resigned to a kind of hopelessness, seem unwilling to trust others and are ready and willing to betray whomever we might need to in order to advance our own careers or personal agendas. Yet new technologies require us to place personal information online, to communicate with strangers, and to hold onto the promise of happiness. How are our maintenance of hope, our need to trust and our willingness to betray intertwined? How are these concepts evolving?
