These newspapers were used as a settler colonial tool, yet within these tightly controlled chronicles there also existed sites of resistance. Illuminating and often deeply moving, this book traces colonial narratives of language, time, and place from the nineteenth century to the present day, post–Truth and Reconciliation Commission.

Résumé:Cet article se penche sur la place des arts et de la culture au sein du féminisme de la fin des années 1960 jusqu’au milieu des années 1980 au Québec. Il met en lumière le fait que les arts et la culture occupent des espaces à l’intérieur des mouvements politiques qui ne sont pas statiques. Au cours de la première partie de cette période, les mouvements féministes/mouvements des femmes avaient créé un nombre incalculable d’instruments culturels qu’ils ont mis au service des luttes politiques contre l’oppression et l’exploitation des femmes. À l’époque, les militantes féministes avaient la conscience que les arts et la culture constituaient des aires d’expression radicale et rebelle ; des lieux où il était possible de contester la contrainte à l’hétérosexualité, la morale des institutions religieuses ; des espaces où se discutaient les idées marxistes, anticapitalistes ou anticoloniales. Le présent article réserve une attention spéciale à la production littéraire et dramatique de Jovette Marchessault.Abstract:This article looks at the space occupied by the arts and culture within feminism from the end of the 1960s until the middle of the 1980s in Quebec. It highlights the fact that arts and culture hold a space within political movements which is not static. During the first phase of the period studied, feminist movements/women’s movements had created countless numbers of cultural instruments placed at the service of political struggles against women’s oppression and women’s exploitation. At that time, feminist activists were conscious that the arts and culture constituted areas of radical and rebellious expression ; that from these spaces it was possible to contest compulsory heterosexuality and the morality of religious institutions ; that these spaces were terrains for debating Marxist ideas, anti-capitalism and anticolonialism. This article focuses on Jovette Marchessault’s literary work and theatre productions.

Abstract:This article offers a survey of the Russian scholarly literature devoted to Canada over the last twenty years. It is based on a bibliography, comprising nearly 2000 entries, which includes the works of scholars who have published in the leading Russian academic journals devoted (at least in part) to Canada. We conclude that Canada remains a significant topic of study in Russia; scholars do not limit themselves to the relationship between the two countries; they are equally interested in elements of the Canadian experience (the history of colonization, federalism, language contact, multiculturalism, among others) that have particular relevance for contemporary Russia. Despite significant geopolitical differences between the two countries, members of the Russian Canadian studies community continue to look to Canada as, at least in certain respects, a model for their own society. This article illustrates, therefore, not only the way in which Canada is perceived abroad but also the ideological pluralism that existed in Russia, at least until 2022.Résumé:Le présent article propose un aperçu de la littérature scientifique russe consacrée au Canada depuis les vingt dernières années. Il est basé sur une bibliographie comprenant près de 2000 entrées, qui inclut les travaux de chercheurs ayant publié dans les principales revues scientifiques russes consacrées (au moins en partie) au Canada. D’après l’auteur, le Canada demeure un important sujet d’étude en Russie. Les chercheurs ne se limitent pas à la relation entre les deux pays ; ils s’intéressent également aux éléments de l’expérience canadienne qui ont une pertinence particulière pour la Russie contemporaine — l’histoire de la colonisation, le fédéralisme, le contact entre les langues, le multiculturalisme, entre autres. Malgré les différences géopolitiques importantes entre les deux pays, celles et ceux qui se consacrent aux études canadiennes en Russie continuent de considérer le Canada comme un modèle pour leur propre société, au moins à certains égards. Cet article illustre donc non seulement la façon dont le Canada est perçu à l’étranger, mais aussi le pluralisme idéologique qui existait en Russie, du moins jusqu’en 2022.

Abstract:For Prime Minister Trudeau, “equity talk” is central to his brand. He is a self-identified feminist, who embraces the terminology of equity, diversity, and inclusion, and borrows from discourses of intersectionality to frame his politics. There is now emerging literature that measures this “progressive” rhetoric against the reality, and this article seeks to contribute to that body of work. The focus of this article is especially on the use of “diversity” under the Liberal government of Justin Trudeau. I begin by outlining how “diversity” has always held a complicated place in feminist, critical race, post-colonial, and intersectional scholarship and activism. The concepts of diversity and difference are used to analyze socially-constructed inequalities based on gender, sex, race, ethnicity, class, age, sexuality, ability, citizenship, and geography (CRIAW 2006; Dhamoon 2009), while also problematized for their superficial and instrumental applications. I argue that when held to scrutiny, Prime Minister Trudeau’s language on diversity falls into this latter categorization, where diversity is used as a descriptor rather than an analytical tool and as an opportunistic political device that undermines equitable public policy. This article focuses specifically on the equation of diversity with regional difference, in which provincial/territorial “diversity” is unquestioned, un-scrutinized, and naturalized. Provincial/territorial “diversity” is wholly celebrated. Using three policy examples (climate change, child care, and genetic discrimination), I argue that a substantive intersectional policy analysis reveals Trudeau’s celebration of regional policy “diversity,” as actually a defence of inequality and disparity.Résumé:Pour le premier ministre Trudeau, le discours relatif à l’équité est crucial à son image de marque. Il s’identifie comme féministe, a adopté la terminologie de l’équité, de la diversité et de l’inclusion, et emprunte des éléments d’intersectionnalité pour encadrer ses politiques. De nouvelles recherches évaluent cette rhétorique « progressive » en la comparant à la réalité, et le présent article vise à contribuer à ces travaux. L’article met l’accent sur l’utilisation de la « diversité » dans le gouvernement libéral actuel de Justin Trudeau. Je commence par présenter la façon dont la « diversité » a toujours joué un rôle compliqué dans le militantisme et les recherches intersectionnels, postcoloniaux, féministes et axés sur la théorie critique sur les races. Les concepts de diversité et de différence sont utilisés pour analyser les inégalités de construction sociale fondées sur le genre, le sexe, la race, l’ethnicité, la classe sociale, l’âge, la sexualité, la capacité, la citoyenneté et la géographie (ICREF 2006; Dhamoon 2009), mais sont aussi considérés comme une problématique en raison de leurs applications superficielles et instrumentales.

Abstract:This article analyzes a largely unknown voyage undertaken by Capitan Dariusz Bogucki in the summer of 1975 through the Northwest Passage on-board a Polish yacht called Gedania. This expedition was one of the first attempts to navigate the Arctic straits aboard a small sailing vessel and, although unsuccessful, has attained legendary status among Polish sailors. Despite a ban from the Canadian authorities, the Gedania, managed to penetrate 300 miles into the Canadian Arctic. In Resolute Bay the crew failed, however, to persuade local officials to issue a permit and was ordered to sail south immediately. During her retreat from the Arctic a debate among the Canadian public lasting several weeks began as to how a crew from communist Poland had sailed so far north without trouble, only a few years after the US tanker Manhattan had started a political crisis over Canadian sovereignty over the waters of the Northwest Passage. The aim of this article is to verify the legend of the Gedania voyage through the use of archival materials and to discover whether the reasons consent was refused to the Gedania were entirely based on practical considerations or whether they also had political dimensions.Résumé:L’article analyse un voyage très peu connu du capitaine Dariusz Bogucki à l’été de 1975 dans le passage du Nord-Ouest, à bord d’un yacht polonais, le Gedania. L’expédition constitue l’une de premières tentatives de navigation des détroits arctiques dans un petit voilier. Quoiqu’ayant ultimement échoué, le voyage a une réputation mythique auprès de marins polonais. Malgré une interdiction du gouvernement du Canada, le Gedania a pu naviguer 300 km dans l’Arctique canadien. À Resolute Bay, cependant, l’équipage n’a pas réussi à persuader les autorités locales de lui délivrer un permis et a reçu l’ordre de naviguer immédi-atement vers le sud. Alors que le vaisseau a battu en retraite, un débat public a fait rage pendant plusieurs semaines au Canada, à savoir comment un équipage de la Pologne communiste avait pu voguer si loin dans le nord sans être inquiété, quelques années à peine après que le pétrolier américain Manhattan avait déclenché une crise politique relativement à la souveraineté canadienne sur les eaux du passage du Nord-Ouest. L’objectif de l’article est de vérifier la légende du voyage du Gedania en examinant du matériel d’archives et de découvrir les raisons pour lesquelles on a refusé au Gedania le droit de poursuivre son voyage : s’agissait-il de considérations purement pratiques ou la décision avait-elle une dimension politique?
