Full textCette recherche a pour but de définir et de décrire les facteurs linguistiques et sociolinguistiques de l’intégration des immigrants dans le contexte multilingue qu’est Montréal. Elle se fonde sur un corpus d’entretiens effectués avec des immigrants, suivant les cours de francisation gouvernementaux. Notre travail repose principalement sur la notion – à la fois politique et sociolinguistique – d’intégration linguistique. Nous étudions les politiques de gestion de l’immigration et de la pluralité linguistique qui influencent l’intégration des immigrants dans une société d’installation culturellement diversifiée et francophone. Notre démarche est à la fois macrosociolinguistique et microsociolinguistique, aussi bien dans la problématique que dans la méthodologie appliquée. Nous cherchons à apprécier l’impact des mesures de politique linguistique sur la préservation du français au Québec en nous intéressant aux perceptions des immigrants concernant les fonctions sociales des langues à Montréal. La francisation étant présentée comme la mesure politique la plus significative, nous nous intéressons au contenu des cours, sur le plan linguistique et culturel. Nous déterminons le niveau de compétence que les immigrants-apprenants atteignent à la fin de leur formation à l’aide d’une grille originale d’observables énonciatifs, structurels et normatifs. Après avoir évalué le degré d’autonomie linguistique des sujets, nous décrivons leur mobilité sociale en étudiant la fréquence et le type d’interactions dans lesquelles les immigrants ont l’occasion d’utiliser les différentes langues de leur répertoire langagier, en vue de déterminer leur intégration sociale. A partir de ces données, nous mettons en évidence l’influence du degré de maîtrise linguistique sur le sentiment d’intégration. Les résultats montrent que le français jouit d’une vitalité linguistique importante. De par ses fonctions véhiculaires et sociales, le français est généralement la langue de communication première dans toutes les sphères de la vie sociale à Montréal. De ce fait, la capacité de communiquer, grâce à l’appropriation de la variété standard du français, est un facteur linguistique de l’intégration. Or, à la fin de la formation en français, les immigrants ont des compétences linguistiques et sociolinguistiques qui leur permettent seulement une mobilité linguistique et sociale limitées. Ce facteur linguistique doit être obligatoirement accompagné d’autres éléments intégrateurs qui constituent les étapes suivantes du processus d’intégration.
Linguistic and Sociolinguistic Factors of Integration within a Multilingual Context : the case of immigrants in Montreal The purpose of this study is to define and describe the linguistic and sociolinguistic factors of integration of immigrants within the multilingual context of Montreal. Based on a corpus of interviews (discussions, conversations) with immigrants enrolled in government-sponsored French language training programs, our work focuses mainly on linguistic integration, understood here as both a political and sociolinguistic notion. We examine the policies of immigration management and linguistic plurality which influence the assimilation of immigrants into a francophone and culturally diversified society. Our approach to the research subject and the methodology applied to it is both macro-sociolinguistic and micro-sociolinguistic. We attempt to determine the impact of linguistic policy measures on preserving the use of the French language. To do this, we study how immigrants perceive the social functions of languages in Montreal. Since francization is presented as the most significant political measure, we analyze training course content, on a cultural and linguistic level. In order to determine the level of skill obtained by the immigrants at the end of their training program, we use an original scale measuring observable cognitive, structural and normative items. After assessing immigrants’ degree of linguistic autonomy, we describe their social mobility to see how well they are actually assimilated into the francophone living environment. We analyze the type and frequency of the interactions in which immigrant are called upon to use the different languages making up their language repertoires. This data allows us to show how immigrants’ command of the French language affects their feeling with regard to social integration. Our results demonstrate that the linguistic vitality of the french-speaking community in Montreal is increasing. Indeed, French is the primary language of communication in all aspects of social life. The ability to communicate easily in standard French is, therefore, a linguistic factor contributing to successful social and cultural integration. However, at the completion of their French language training program, immigrants’ linguistic and sociolinguistic skills allow them only limited linguistic and social mobility. This linguistic facet of cultural integration must necessarily be accompanied by other means to facilitate and consolidate the process of integration.

Full textThis work, based on methodology inspired by grounded theory, is an exploration of used object consumption. Results have been based upon an ethnographic study carried out over an 11-month period in the greater metropolitan Montreal (Quebec) area, through fieldwork in flea markets, garage sales, second hand stores and online classified ad websites. The data clearly underlines the continual negotiation process inherent to the realm of second-hand goods, with the overarching concept of otherness: when purchasing second-hand, the presence of the Other can be facilitating, incoveniencing or cumbersome, but it remains omnipresent. Emboldened by this initial observation, the work then went on to highlight the apparent complexity of the appropriation process with regard to second-hand objects and the existence of a certain "je ne sais quoi" that must be overcome in order to fully enjoy any new possession. Thus, from this observation, light is shed on an additional function of consumer goods: the object a personal territorial support - the mobile territorial object. As such, in the context of second-hand consumption, a used item is the Other's territory, which must be conquered so as to enable appropriation, with the difficulty of the conquest being a function of the item in question and of the degree of appropriability inherent to the three detected used object categories (Possessed, Inhabited and unoccupied). This conquest then revolves around two primary processes: a distancing from the Other meant to expropriate one or more previous owners, and then the taking unto oneself of an object, using both perceptions and actions meant to make entirely one's own an object that had previously belonged to an Other

Full textMigrants from Turkey are among the most studied diasporas in the world. Nonetheless they do not seem to have caught the attention of social scientists in every national context in which they are present. For instance, Turkish immigration in North-America is barely documented, even less so studied. In Canada, this subject has simply remained unexplored. The present thesis is intended to fill this gap. Yet, questions central to this research cannot be confined to statistical or historical aspects of migration from Turkey in Canada. In addition to providing the first socio-demographic survey of this population and its migratory history in Canada, this study aims at fostering a better understanding of migrant ethnicity and of factors contributing to its construction and organization in an urban setting - in this case Montreal, a multiethnic metropolis caracterized by its "double linguistic majority", Francophone and Anglophone. Those factors might be structural, conjonctural, related to society of origin as well as to that of settlement. Rather than taking the notion of "ethnic community" for granted, the analysis depicts the concept by distinguishing three distinct pillars: collective identity, group organization and political action. It then examines the social motivations of migrants from Turkey to organize themselves into an ethnic community, as well as the factors acting upon these processes in an encouraging or discouraging way. A major conclusion relates to the multiplicity and interaction of factors influencing modes of collective organization and representation observed among this specific immigrant population. Factors that have been identified belong to one of the three categories of social relationships central to the construction and organisation of migrant ethnicity in this milieu, i. E. Intracommunal relations, interminority relations and majority/minority relations

Full textFacing the challenge of immigration in most contemporary industrial societies, one has been recently noticing the emergence of a debate dealing with the weakness of national cohesion. Despite its official acknowledgment of cultural diversity as one pillar of its mass identity, today Canada wants to define new proposals of " living together ". In Quebec the nature of social discourse is similar : after many years of definitions of social relations between the francophone majority and the immigrant minorities, now Quebec is inviting its residents to share a common national project to become " Quebec " citizens ", regardless of their origins. Yet one does not know much about the immigrants'judgments on these recent ideological reorientations. The current thesis is aiming at collecting the perceptions of a " visible minority " established in Montreal, the Haitian community, on the pluralist Quebec society and especially on the theme of citizenship as a new way of social relations management. What does " Quebec citizenship " mean for members of the Haitian community who immigrated in the 1960's and in the 1970's ? Considering their various socialization experiences which are often linked to vague discriminatory behaviours, what types of links are they developping towards the civil society, the nation and the state ? These are some questions we will try to answer

Full textMontreal, city of many identities or diverse urban agglomeration ? The heart of Montreal is not set in stone but subject to spatial mobility and market temporal mutations. It exerts a pull with the attractiveness of Ville Marie quarter and from its powers of integration. Trapped between Mount Royal and the St Laurence River the centre is made up of many threads of centrality each adding its own strength to the urban whole. The converted Old Port, a traditional thread for visitors to Old Montreal and the modern business complex form part of the spatial continuum. The International Quarter and the underground network ensure that the areas are connected. The improvements of the last 50 years bear witnesses to the power games played by public and private bodies. On the urban scene there has been a culture of compromise and synchronisation between the different partners that has allowed the urbanisation programs to reach fruition. In this new millenium Montreal's heart shines out. The modern and the traditional complement each other, a polynucleated model for the features of centrality hidden during the course of history

Full textExamining identities in Quebec inevitably points to language-related issues, especially when migration and plurilingualism are implied along with the future generations. The French language is the province's single official language and it's a delicate balance between the will to protect its vitality on the one hand and the will to recognise the forces of social diversity. Schools play are at first rank when it comes to ensuring the transmission of social values and the French language is definitely a major part of educational politics. The core concept of this project is actually "languages" through their social dimensions. The aim is to explore how young plurilingual migrants negociate their repertoires in French Welcome Classes in Montreal. When asked to define themselves, they also shed light on how identities and "otherness" are related (or not). The researcher's epistemological framework will first be explained then, the Quebec context will be questioned in an attempt to better understand the specificities related to migration, plurilingualism, social identities and schooling. The data based on ehtnographic fieldwork will then be analyzed as intersubjective discourse and representations on migrance, symbolic shifts and intercultural themes

Full textBetween 1965 and 1975, the Franco-Quebec cooperation allowed migration in Montreal and Quebec, several thousand French, employed as a secondary school teacher and university. Since 1990, Qebec's immigration policy actively conducts an increase in French entries on the provincial territory. Of French migrants less specialized professional than previous but more numerous, currently 120,000, are the first national group to migrate to China and Algeria. Our anthropological study of French migrants in Montreal required a redefinition of the field of migration studies. Transatlantic situation and "post-colonial" makes us think about multiple identities that are told in the speeches of French and Qebecers. Being an immigrant, for French in Montreal, is to confront the local representation of the migrant. Inherited differing figures of a pedagogy and a national historical narrative built locally. Since the 1990s, a large increase in the number of french living in the city is particularly observed in the Plateau Mont-Royal.

Full textThe character more global of the world economy cannot ignore that it depends on economic health of cities and territories. Their economic development implies the existence, inside the local industries, of special ones, called here "jacobian", whose caracteristics and behavior with their environment make them appear as the very heart of the local economy : frequent in many industrial districts namely, they are at the origin of their dynamism a study conducted in Montreal (Canada) puts in evidence that the special behavior of the jacobian enterprises with the local environment may be due to the "local reinvestment" of those firms; the report defines that concept and gives, through a short exercise of modelization, the description of its effects on the local environment. Consequently, it is possible to think about a new definition of the public policies regarding the local economic development, in order to maximize their efficiency

Full textThis study, which focuses primarily on Canadian language policy, combines a sociolinguistic perspective with an educational approach. More specifically, it is concerned with the educational policy surrounding the teaching of three Asian languages in Vancouver’s public and community schools and aims at exploring the relationship between British Columbia’s language policy and Canadian multicultural policy. What can the analysis of the status of these languages, in both types of educational institutions, tell us about a politics of recognition in a culturally and linguistically diverse setting? In order to gain a better understanding of how educational and language policy can constitute a factor of integration and contribute to the redefinition of a sense of togetherness within a plural society, we attempt to put both language policy and its implementation in the field into perspective, and thereby confront the theories and practices of multicultural policy. From a methodological point of view, our analysis is based on both quantitative data, provided by the Ministry of Education and the Vancouver School Board, as well as qualitative data, which arise from a series of interviews completed locally. The choice of a wide variety of people interviewed was deliberate. Were involved people implicated in the formulation and implementation of language policy at the provincial and local levels as well as people involved, in various capacities, in the teaching of a number of Asian languages in Vancouver

Full textThe city is a miscellany of both constructions and vegetation, generally considered through buildings only : our methodology will propose to tackle it through the vegetal side. However, such an approach means to take tree into account from the city centre to the periphery : satellite imagery is then the only appropriate tool, as it allows to monitor both spatial and environmental distribution of built areas, leading to detection of nearly all part of vegetation overlapped inside. But image processing is restricted due its relatively low spatial resolution when using pertinent sensors; our goal is to overcome such limits by considering overlapping of vegetal and built materials as a constant and developing an easily reusable methodology notwithstanding imagery or cities involved. Development of this methodology was built using specific information on urban vegetation provided by images. In order to get a better understanding of imagery-related information regarding urban areas, specific cities and images have been used, respectively Montreal and Paris and LANDSAT TM and SPOT 4. The same procedure has been applied to both images, with 10-class unsupervised classification, first on raw channels then focusing on various classes due to spatial or radiometric criteria. Classification was followed by a deeper investigation of the results and to a comparable statistical and graphical

Full textDuring the last twenty years, local authorities in western countries have been put under pressure to better take into account their citizens’ ethnocultural differences or, on the contrary, to limit such adaptation. Although this kind of accommodation often consists of ad hoc measures, researchers in the field of the management of diversity, have tended to focus on public policies. This research examines instead concrete practices of diversity management, specifically in the domain of sports and leisure, which are usually perceived as a means of social integration. In fact, both diversity management and recreation services are somewhat ambiguous because of their double vocation of respecting differences and personal development and promoting integration. Both also operate in a context dominated by formal and informal partnerships with a variety of organisations providing public services. What strategies do local authorities adopt to take differences into account and develop appropriate service provision? Based on three case studies (two in Montreal and one in Bordeaux), this research reveals that diversity management practices depend less on formal policy than on local issues of governance in sports and leisure and on the actors’ capacity to understand cultural codes. From a scientific viewpoint it underscores the relevance of the notion of ethnicity as a political resource, and from a practical viewpoint it highlights the importance of developing intercultural training and reflexive practices

By comparing at the same time existing projects in Montreal and in Toulouse regarding aeronautics and life sciences activities, this dissertation is underlining the importance of the territory into the development of each industry sectors as well as the making of the policies that are dedicated to it. It also highlight the shaping impact of policies of the metroplitan development path. Moreover, the dissertation is putting into evidence the dynamics of multiscalar institutions and the configuration of public actors within a policy elaboration process increasingly influenced bu the private sector. Therefore, technopolitan projects are the result of the interplay of numerous actors that interacts depending on the specificities of the innovation and production of each technologies. This genesis process is influenced by various spatial forces and contraints which are unique to each city or urban region. At the end, the dissertation is unfolding a classification of technopolitan projects that permits a certain degree of generalization to adress or to evaluate future policy and strategy of metropolitan development

The variables are studied on the level of unit, building neighbouhood equipment, demographic and socioeconomic environment in which the project is implemented. With the help of medaf (evaluation model of financial assets) the Montreal market is examined as to the resale of high density divided co-ownerchip units (carried out from 1978 to 1985). The performance of the capital gain is compared to the performance of 300 companies listed at the Montreal stock exchange

Full textThis research offers a socio-discursive insight on the Montréal rap scene, by looking into the practices, representations, experiences and trajectories of female rappers in Montréal, through the prism of gender. Grounded in the field of sociolinguistics – and even more so in urban sociolinguistics for the originality of its questionings – and anchored to the theoretical and epistemological frameworks that envisage gender as a coproduced social relation (“rapport social”) and subjectivities as permeated by social relations, but never completely determined by them, this study is based on a fieldwork among female Montréal rappers, which took place in 2011. Based on a discursive corpus, interpreted using both discourse analysis and thematic analysis, it engages an interpretation of the phenomena and of the processes as territorialized. The practices, experiences and representations of the female rappers will be analyzed in a context marked by their scarcity. Beside the actualization of gender relations and formation processes, I find that the sociolinguistic features of Montréal’s social space, and what is referred to as “québéquicity”, also impact the practices and the experiences of the rappers. Thus, the rappers compose their practices and their trajectories while being constantly positioned in a unique, dynamic, and bound to be ambivalent place inside the “matrix of domination”, shaped by the interweaving of gender, language, perspectives on rap music, and the heritage of an ideology of the French-Canadian “francophonie”, that notably actualizes the contemporary concept of “québéquicity”

Full textSince 50's, the altering between urban area and political power is at the origin of a major dysfunction of agglomerations (spillovers. . . ). In reaction, many States have implemented a political and administrative reconfiguration of territories, lying upon historical heritage and specific legal techniques. This restructuring necessitates a definition of functional areas as a frame for the resolution of urban problems (planning, urbanism, network. . . ). The organization and the management of urban transport network are symptomatic of the difficulties met by urban areas. Because of its repercussions on urban life development (mobility, economic and social dimensions) and the problems it must deal with, the urban transport has been put into the hands of new metropolitan structures: the nature of institutional forms, regulation and control instruments will depend, however, on endogenous metropolitan factors or the specific national context. Transport has become one of the principal preoccupations of public powers. So, with the growing interest in urban sustainability, with the economic metropolisation, it appears to be the central pivot of metropolitaan politics. On the basis of a comparison between the metropolitan areas of Lille and Montreal, our study means to determine: to what extent the progressive structuring of an urban area facilitates the setting of metropolitan politics; which organsims (intermunicipal arragements) or organizations (governace) concur to a better administration of the metropolis (services and politics); which politics of urban transport were developed by public powers, in which frame they were elaborated and what were their results or their impact on the city itself

Full textThis thesis questions the geography of cosmopolitanism, through the study of narratives, practices and representations around Saint Lawrence boulevard in Montreal. The street represents a divide between the “two solitudes” – the French-speaking and the English-speaking areas -, but also a bond, a passage and melting place, where immigrants settled during the 20th century. This research is based on field studies - combining observation and interviews. It also relies on studies of planning documents, reports and literature. In this former immigration corridor, three aspects of cosmopolitanism are converging, competing and sometimes overlapping: a political and identity-led cosmopolitanism, a consumerist cosmopolitanism, and a day-to-day experienced cosmopolitanism. Several scales of power operate on the boulevard (districts, municipality, provincial and federal government) so that one can read in diversity policies and heritage designations. The boulevard is also a lever for branding strategies: while “ethnic” neighborhoods clearly highlight the assets of cosmopolitanism, public and private real estate developers keep a low profile on that front in the Quartier des Spectacles. At any rate, these neighborhoods are not only about communication and branding: they are also daily experiences, commuting and hustle for cultural communities and many other inhabitants. The boulevard is therefore a space of urban experiences, that gives birth to a form of everyday cosmopolitanism, which is underpinned by venues, atmospheres and time specificities. This notably materializes through key people and special venues in time, such as festivals or walking tours

Full textThree full scale reinforced concrete specimens representing an exterior beam-column-slab subassemblage of the Montreal structure were tested in order to determine the behaviour of these components. The role of the spandrel beam in limiting the effective slab width and its role in transferring shear to the joint region was investigated.
Analytical procedures were developed in order to predict the responses of main structural components to the combined loading effects of axial load, moment and shear. In addition a hysteretic behavioural model was developed in order to account for strength and stiffness degradation as well as pinching of the hysteretic response.
The analytical procedures were then used to model the responses of the components of these buildings. Non-linear dynamic analyses were carried out on each building for a series of artificially generated accelerograms. The results of the tests as well as the results of the non-linear dynamic analyses enabled an assessment of the performance of different building designs and an assessment of current code requirements.

Full textAs the number of Iranian immigrants has increased in Canada in recent decades, more research is necessary on this population. Given that immigrant-language transmission is one component of immigrant settlement process and also, Iranian immigrants have rarely been the subject of Canadian studies, thus, the purpose of this research is to study the home language profile of Iranian immigrants in Montreal compared to Toronto. Using the data of long form census questionnaire 2001, 2006 and 2011, we have studied the influence of socio-demographic, familial and migratory factors on language Iranian immigrants spoke most often at home in Montreal and Toronto. In doing so, we have carried out various descriptive analyzes to discover if Iranian immigrants are more likely to speak in nonofficial language (heritage language) at home or in official languages. For the purpose of further investigation of home language profile of Iranian immigrants I expand my research by running logistic regressions. The results show that Iranian female immigrants compared to their male counterparts, legally married immigrants, those Iranians who have immigrated to Canada at the age of 15 years old and over as well as Iranian immigrants who have arrived in Canada after 1980 spoke in non-official language at home more than official languages in both Montreal and Toronto.

Full textThe goal of this Study on the Suburbs is to demonstrate the importance and the existence of the role of the suburbs had in adjustment and growth of the city between the 18th and mid 19th century. We were able to put three chonological time periods in perspective through the example of the Montreal and Angers suburbs. The first time period dealing with developments leading to the creation of the suburbs, allows them to place themselves around the city. The suburb is then the projection of the city outside of its walls. During the second time period around the end of the 18th century and beginning of the 19th century we are seeing the suburbs becoming more independent and becoming the centre of the city's growth, also, because of the abolition of the ramparts the connection between the city and suburb is fully functional. The city identifying itself to its suburbs, the integration of the suburbs to the city represents the third time period. This stage of integration is marked by the emergence of new significant spaces in the suburbs, spaces close to the notion of district. This work clearly shows that the suburbs are an historical reference from the time of the city, allowing to capture the mecanisms of the city's growth, therefore, it goes beyond being specific and comparative study on the suburbs in two different urban context

Full textThe specific focus of this study is the Italian language press and its attempts to shape the ideals of italianita of Italian migrants in Canada and Australia in the immediate post-war period. This work is based on two newspapers, Montreal's Il Cittadino Canadese and La Fiamma published in Sydney, New South Wales. All available editions from the decade 1947 to 1957 are examined in order to determine which symbols and causes were used to promote Italian ethnic cohesiveness.
In the course of this thesis, it is argued that La Fiamma used religion as the basis of its ideal of italianita, while the Italo-Canadian paper Il Cittadino Canadese made the issue of Italian political representation in Canadian government structures the basis of its quest to unite Italian migrants into an ethnic 'community'. Some possible reasons for the difference in focus between the two newspapers are presented in the conclusion. Also, suggestions are made for future comparative research between Italian ethnic communities in Canada and Australia which may help to better explain the differences laid bare in this paper.

Full textThe link between Montreal Action française (later l’Action nationale) and the Paris Action française has been examined in ideological terms. Because of the difference between their ideologies, the manifest interest shown by the Quebec movement for its French homonym remaind a “mystery” in historiography. The author examins the question under a new light, that of the history of intellectuals, their sociocultural practices, and proposes a first taxonomy of intellectual movements. Indeed, intellectual movements characterize the new 20th c. “intellectuals” and their practices. Their structural development in France gives rise to cultural transfers. The author proposes a first taxonomy of intellectual movements. The “league of intellectuals” is the most ambitious type, and the Maurrassian league serves as a model of organization and strategy, studyed and adapted by the leaders of its Quebec homonym, despite important ideological differences. La Relève is influenced by Esprit, La Nation by Gringoire and Je suis partout : two ideological families that result from the Paris Action française’s condemnation by Rome. In the case of La Relève, the influence of personnalism is defining ; however, it is discovered closer to Maritain than to Mounier. Albeit La Nation adapts Gringoire’s successful style and Jeune Droite ideology, it distinguishes itself by her ideological evolution: rather than radicalizing istelf, it moderates its politics in the later 1930s. All three Quebec groups are thus inspired by French models that provide material for creating their own original movements

Full textIn this thesis we aim to determine how we can integrate urbanistic dimensions to the elaboration of a project which intends to preserve an old urban area. This thesis has for main objective to enlighten elements of an urbanistic perspective of heritage conservation. From the study of nine projects of heritage preservation located along the Lachine canal in Montreal, we question the contribution of the actual discourse on heritage conservation to the revitalization of old urban areas. Our research is based on the following hypothesis: that the integration of heritage conservation issues to the transformation of the city results from the diversity and the complementarity of the vocational activities and from the different uses of the urban spaces. The study of those projects is conducted in order to identify how they take place in an urban project's perspective. Constituted as a reaction to decontextualized urban planning practices, the notion of urban project is based on works related to the concept of urban heritage, specifically those of Gustavo Giovannoni and the Italian school of typomorphology. Because the projects that we have studied insist on a sectorial approach of the transformation of the old industrial corridor, and only on its integration to a regional scale of the organization of the territory, we can't consider that they take place in an urban project's perspective. We show how they differ from such an approach and how the discourse on heritage conservation developed in those projects forbids the integration of the Lachine canal corridor into local urban dynamics

Full textThis study is based on a fieldwork in three regions, Rennes, Grenoble and Montreal, where Lao refugees are located. In this various contexts, the Lao have to cope with social and cultural change that leads them to organise in order to facilitate their resettlement. Various cultural conflicts and political compromises influence the organisational dynamic : opposition between generations, rivalries between traditional leaders and intermediaries, the latter being more involved with members of the dominant group, tensions between those who support a strict Lao social hierarchy and those who are in favour of a more democratic "horizontal" solidarity. Underlying each of these conflicts, there are opposing definitions of ethnicity and of group belonging. In the above-mentioned comparative study, we have tried to understand the impact of the urban context, and above the urban, the national context, on the collective functioning of an ethnic minority. At first, we compare the Lao of Rennes, capital city of Bretagne, where only a few immigrants live, with those of Grenoble, an industrialized city that has a long tradition of hosting immigrants. Secondly, the study of the Lao minority in Montreal allows us a more thorough comparison, the national context being different. After having started with a qualitative methodology that implies observation and in depth interviews, we progressively adopt a more global view of the situations : comparing ideologies of national construction and the representations of the other ; evaluating the impact of immigration policies in the two regions ; describing constraints entailed by each economical and political local context ; observing how inter-ethnic relations occur in each situation

Full textOur study is questioning the link existing between participation and urbanism at the metropolitan scale. This concerns Lyon and Montreal metropolis. The target is to understand how are contributing participating action plans to elaborate an urban policy. We are specially questioning how this participation allows to take into consideration in the process of politics elaboration, the stakes hold by public. We are also wondering about the way this participation produces a wider coordination between actors, action plans and scales contributing to this elaboration. We are considering these questions at a metropolitan scale, where action on territories and public are presenting some specificity.Our study is highlighting several contributions of participation: concerning mainly the process of problem setting, and less the process of problem solving, which is source of disagreement. The participation is creating new coordination between actors, action plans and scales of public actions, but these coordination appear weak and short lived. Each stage of the consultation and the public debate are producing specific effects; but our study also shows a progressive and a building up effects increasing in the development of the participatory process. Transfers of actors, repetition of stakes and refinement of recommendations allow in some contexts to extend the field of participation impact, which is so, expending from the formulation of stakes to the logic of politics implementation

Full textIn Canada, Australia and the USA, three largely Anglophone countries, we witness the awakening of cultural and minority languages. In a civilization which has reached a maximum level of “communicability” transcending the physical borders, some invisible cultural and linguistic ones are re-designing infinitely more subtle communities. The large majority of all what is written in English as well as what is internationally communicated, however, some lobbies are fearing for its survival. After a description of concepts related to plurilingualism and multiculturalism, the methodological frame of this research will be tackled as well as the different typologies of linguistic policies and their connections with multiculturalism. The second part describes the plurilingual and multicultural policies of these three countries of recent immigrated population, which have English as their official language and have had three different ways of tackling the question of language and culture, two fundamental references in their daily political, economic and social life. The third part is a consequence of the two previous ones and describes the phenomenon of multiculturalism and its contemporary consequence, the “political correctness”. In these three countries, the immigrants have been able to assert a right to maintain to language and culture of their country of origin in their new environment in order to face the dangers represented in their view by assimilation. This is a very new and contemporary phenomenon which gives birth to a new category of minorities which do not assert their legitimacy on historical links with their new territory, but on an “extraterritorial right to the preservation of the cultural identity”, thus affecting the specific rights of indigenous peoples. Furthermore, the economic and political changes have particularly affected these three states and forced them to reconsider their traditional alliances and replace them with new ties with the emerging economic blocks. Sociolinguistics, a newcomer in the human sciences, allowed to cut across the disciplines and describe the phenomenon in its globality

Full textAn historical introduction outlining the relationship between the arts and business---from the Renaissance in Europe to its place of greatest expansion in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries; in the U.S.A. as well as in Canada---begins the discussion. An attempt is made to position the activities of modern corporate art collecting between two poles---that of the individual collector and that of the institutional art museum.
Motives for collecting include, among many, the search for distinction and the desire to create a perception in the community of humanitarian standards guiding the corporation. The ways in which corporate motives contribute to the creation of a positive external corporate art identity, and thus a productive business environment, are examined and developed, as are the principal objections of their chief public detractor, artist-writer Hans Haacke.
In three of the four corporations studied, original research on the behavioural and emotional reactions of employees to the corporate art surrounding them has allowed an in-depth analysis of the internal effects of art on employees. Foremost among these are feelings of pride, well-being and the enhancement of self-identity.
Finally, a brief discussion of the role of mediators is offered, in particular that of the corporate curator in the modern art world.

Full textMontreal, since its inception, has undoubtedly been marked by the religious presence; the resulting urban landscape thus bears a distinctive identity. Churches and buildings of religious character, and their sites—objects of this dissertation—certainly form a major part of the city’s built landscape; they generate sense and deeply rooted symbolic values. Above being paramount in structuring the territory of Montreal, they contribute in forging the identity ofthe largest Francophone city in North America. The spreading of Catholicism was based on the establishment of a parochial network, and the wealth of religious congregations’ works intensified the catholic action in neighbourhoods marked by a large Anglican and Protestant population. From then on, the proliferation of church buildings has modeled this exceptional religious topography that also exposes the mechanisms underlying the various urbanization stages of Quebec’s metropolis. Consequently, this palimpsest reveals itself through its territorial organization and thearchitecture of its churches and buildings of religious character. Modern town planning practices must take into account these fundamental issues of preservation and valorization of the built heritage. Privatizing some of these sites and adapting them to uses not really suited to their initial symbolic and heritage values may subvert the capacity to make sense of the urban landscape by obliterating a number of landmarks that formerly facilitated its understanding. This doctoral research revolves around three great periods. The first one considers the forming and expansion of Francophone Catholicity representations in Montreal’s landscape; the second period is characterized by the dissemination of new catholic representations that correspond to new identity-related issues; and the last period recounts the vagaries of the church heritagization process initiated in the seventies
