Ved første øjekast ligner det bare en tilfældig kuriositet, da man finder et gammelt og indviklet kort inde bag den gamle bistros vægge i Three Pines. Men jo mere landsbybeboerne ser på kortet, des underligere bliver det.Kortet bliver foræret til Armand Gamache på hans første dage i sit nye job, men kortet leder ham kun til knusende hemmeligheder, og til en gammel ven og modstander. Kortet fører den tidligere politiinspektør til et sted, som selv han gerne ville slippe for. Men der er ingen vej uden om. Her finder han fire unge kadetter og en død professor. Og på liget finder han en kopi af det gamle, mystiske kortHvor end Gamache tager hen, så ser han kadetten Amelia Choquet, tatoveret og piercet. Amelia er typen, som man ville regne med at finde på den modsatte side, når man legede politi og røvere. Men alligevel er hun på politiskolen, som en protegé til den myrdede professor.Efterforskningen vender sig hurtigt mod Gamache selv og hans mystiske forhold til Amelia. Er det muligt, at de kan være involveret i forbrydelsen? For både Amelia og Gamache er det blevet tid, til at tage det store opgør

La question des flux migratoires engendrés par la mondialisation suscite de plus en plus de débats politiques et appelle à un renouvellement des analyses. Telle est l'ambition de ce livre, qui étudie les parcours migratoires et d¿incorporation socioprofessionnelle de migrants brésiliens dans le domaine du génie et des technologies de l¿information et de la communication (TIC) à Montréal.Cet ouvrage en propose une lecture socio-anthropologique en privilégiant la question du comment à celle du pourquoi : Comment devient-on émigrant dans la société de départ ? Comment s'adapte-t-on à la société de destination ? Comment s'y insère-t-on professionnellement ? La comparaison des parcours socioprofessionnels révèle des modes d'incorporation qui épousent un monde du travail segmenté et stratifié autant pour le marché de l'ingénierie que celui des professionnels des TIC. Par ailleurs, ce livre amène le lecteur à relativiser la figure du migrant hautement qualifié comme mobile et nomade, en faisant voir la complexité des processus en jeu dans la construction différenciée des parcours. Il permet aussi d¿éclairer les logiques sociales d¿appartenance et les dynamiques migratoires et d¿insertion socioéconomique. Il s¿adresse à ceux et celles préoccupés du fait migratoire et des questions de société car il offre des clés pour comprendre le fonctionnement de nos sociétés à partir des récits et de l'épaisseur des expériences migratoires.

Where They Stood examines the Black history of Montreal to tell the stories of those who made a thriving community possible.

Alexander Macrorie, the narrator, blithely announces the subject of the novel in the first brief paragraph: 'This is a story of Quebec. Quebec is a wonderful city.' In fact, it is the story of the love trials and tribulations of a young bachelor subaltern and his fellow officers of the 129th Bobtails quartered in Quebec City.

"Letters From Montreal documents the experiences of Montrealers past and present, creating a portrait of the storied city unlike any other. Drawn from the celebrated column in Maisonneuve magazine, this anthology features Canadian writers chronicling a quintessential part of local life. Narrated with the intimacy of journal entries, each letter bridges the playful and profound. In early dispatches, Melissa Bull ditches a boyfriend over éptanque in Parc Laurier; Sean Michaels watches Arcade Fire lose Battle of the Bands; Deborah Ostrovsky frets over the sublime sophistication of the Plateau's French children. More recently, Ziya Jones spends a summer herding sheep through Parc du éPlican; Eva Crocker performs in a "fake orgasm choir" at the Rialto Theatre; and Andér Picard takes a pause from the pandemic by running up Mount Royal. Edited by Maisonneuve editor-in-chief Madi Haslam, these letters buzz with a sense of possibility, surprise and transformation. They remind us that a city can't quite be defined, that every person inside it interprets it anew."--

2022 Governor General's Literary Award Shortlist * 2022 A.M. Klein Prize for Poetry Finalist A brilliant poetic debut about gender-based violence that dismantles received definitions of both gender and violence, Horrible Dance is an accomplished addition to transfeminist thought and theory. By turns darkly comic, emotionally connected, playful, incisive, lyrical and irreverent, Lake's poems navigate a harrowing personal and political terrain with understated, expansive wisdom. Lake persistently returns us to the search for love that lies at the core of relational trauma, even as she shows us how catastrophically such a search can be derailed. This is a rare text able to hold the full velocity of a survivor's hurt and rage alongside a clear-eyed understanding of the extent and complexity of harm. In their honest accounting of a wide array of bad encounters, these poems point us, again, toward compassion, tenderness, and solidarity. can you forgive mefor how you hurt me so bad - "On Shame"

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2017 im Fachbereich Medien / Kommunikation - Interkulturelle Kommunikation, Note: 1,0, Universität des Saarlandes, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die Geschichte der kanadischen Provinz Quebec ist komplex, da sie zunächst durch die französische und anschließend die britische Herrschaft geprägt wurde. Die Auswirkungen des historischen Erbes zweier Kolonialmächte mit unterschiedlichen Sprachen, Kulturen und Religionen ziehen sich durch die Geschichte Quebecs, und wirken sich bis heute aus. Als französische Kronkolonie wird die Nouvelle-France von Beginn an durch das französische Mutterland hintangestellt und 1763 im Zuge der Pariser Friedensverhandlungen am Ende des Siebenjährigen Krieges schließlich den Briten überlassen. Geprägt von dem Gefühl, von Frankreich im Stich gelassen worden zu sein, entwickelt sich unter den Frankokanadiern, die sich nun im Widerstand gegen die Assimilationsversuche der Briten befinden, ein bis heute anhaltender quebecer Nationalismus, der zu zwei Unabhängigkeitsreferenden in den Jahren 1980 und 1995 führte. Dieser Aufsatz ordnet die Entwicklung der nationalen Identität der Quebecer ein und stellt die daraus resultierende Motivation zur Loslösung aus der kanadischen Konföderation anhand der wichtigsten politischen Etappen zwischen den Referenden dar. Diese sind die Verfassungsreform von 1982, die bis heute nicht von der Quebecer Regierung anerkannt wurde, sowie der Meech Lake Accord und der Charlottetown Accord, beides Versuche der Bundesregierung, die fehlende Zustimmung der Quebecer zu bekommen.

Academic Paper from the year 2010 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Topic: Peace and Conflict Studies, Security, grade: 1:1, , language: English, abstract: Looking across the globe at the many different nationalistic conflicts, one can see that the case of Quebec is very distinctive. In this struggle, the Québécois have received a significant amount of control of their region and have done so without violence. The nationalism of Quebec within Canada can be explained by historical, political and economic factors, and although Canada has avoided violence by successfully enacting preemptive remedies to conflict, there are a few lingering problems in relation to the Canadian minority of Quebec that must be dealt with in order to ensure the continuation of non-violence.The divergence of Canadian and Québécois interests dates back to the times of North American settlement in the 1700s and, in its beginnings, was predominantly based on a deepening gap in the economy. As a portion of the population that was predominantly English-speaking came to reap a majority of economic benefits, the other portion that was mostly French-speaking were behind a deepening line of class division that led to resentment, which they could most easily direct at the most recognizable difference between the groups: language.
