  Confederation and national duality

  Le 150^e anniversaire de la Confédération constitue un moment opportun de réfléchir à la portée, au sens, aux succès et aux problèmes de notre régime politique. Certains en feront l’éloge, d’autres, le procès ; quoiqu’on en dise, le rapport du Canada à la dualité nationale, une philosophie développée surtout par des penseurs canadiens-français pour dépeindre le Canada comme un « pacte entre deux peuples fondateurs », mérite une réflexion sérieuse. Ce colloque vise à faire le point sur l’idée de dualité autant dans les débats intellectuels que dans ses représentations institutionnelles. Il s’adresse aux historiens, aux politologues, aux sociologues, aux juristes et à tous ceux et celles qui étudient le Canada dans son rapport à la dualité.

  African and Gypsy categorizations in France

  The process of ethnicization in ordinary discourse

  In France, Bulgarian and Romanian migrants identified as “Roma” and usually living in slums are regularly the targets of categorizations, of rejection and of xenophobic violence. Even though other immigrated populations, such as Africans, have been subject to this type of ostracism for some time, the spectre of racism and xenophobia has spread under the effect of the diffusion of a number of political and media discourses. Whether coming from the right or the left of the political spectrum, these differentialist discourses stem from the highest level of the State, and have been regularly relayed by the media, thus legitimizing their presence within the French public space.
