Canada


Book Description

The essays in this volume are expanded versions of papers that were first presented at the 13th Biennial Conference/XIIIème Congrès biennal of the Association for Canadian Studies in Ireland, held at the National University of Ireland, Galway, in 2006. The theme of the Conference was Canada at Home and Abroad: Text and Territory/Le Canada et ses relations d’ici, de là, et de là bas. The papers debate issues surrounding literature, language and language acquisition, immigration/emigration, and culture, in Canada, Ireland, and in Europe as a whole. From an examination of the place of hockey in the Canadian literary consciousness, to mapping minority language visibility in officially bilingual cities, the focus here is on ways of exploring culture, understood in its widest sense.

La Femme avenir


Book Description

Est-ce une chance d'être femme ? Oui, et il ne faut pas la manquer. Ce qui exige de secouer toutes les fatalités que l'on inflige ou que l'on prête à la femme. Et, d'abord, de ne pas se laisser enfermer par les définitions, qu'elles soient humanistes ou féministes. Comme l'homme ? Moins que l'homme ? Mieux que l'homme ? France Quéré, esquissant à grands traits, mais acérés, les images que l'on a données de la femme, depuis les chrétiens des premiers siècles jusqu'aux écrivains d'aujourd'hui, appelle les femmes à prendre conscience elles-mêmes, de ce qu'elles vivent, et de ce qu'elles peuvent vivre. Sans oublier que l'émancipation des femmes peut être une façon d'accepter la société comme elle est, dominée par des valeurs dures. Il faut donc changer les mœurs, remplacer le commandement unilatéral par la symétrie du service. Rendre à la vie et à l'amour le pas sur la conquête et la destruction. C'est ici que le service des femmes cesse d'être obscur pour devenir prophétique. Il est peut-être une chance de salut pour ce monde.




Gender and Citizenship in the Global Age


Book Description

One of the major issues this book examines is what the African experience and identity have contributed to the debate on citizenship in the era of globalisation. This volume presents case studies of different African contexts, illustrating the gendered aspects of citizenship as experienced by African men and women. Citizenship carries manifold gendered aspects and given the distinct gender roles and responsibilities, globalisation affects citizenship in different way. It further examines new forms of citizenship emerging from the current era dominated by a neoliberal focus. This book is not exclusive in terms of theorisation but its focus on African contexts, with an in-depth analysis taking into consideration local culture and practices and their implications for citizenship, provides a good foundation for further scholarly work on gender and citizenship in Africa.
