91	Une race qui ne sait pas mourir: une analyse de la race dans plusieurs textes littéraires québécois Scott, Cora 19 November 2013 (has links) Cette thèse présente une étude de la représentation de la race et son rôle dans la formation des discours littéraires et identitaires au Québec. À partir de la phrase célèbre de Félix-Antoine Savard, « une race qui ne sait pas mourir », jusqu’au roman de l’écrivain haïtien Dany Laferrière, Je suis un écrivain japonais, en passant par L’appel de la race de Lionel Groulx, sans oublier les propos sanglants de Michèle Lalonde dans Speak White et ceux de Pierre Vallières dans Nègres blancs d’Amérique, la littérature canadienne-française et québécoise est hantée par la question de la race. C’est précisément à cause de la présence persistante, souvent angoissante, du concept que je me propose d’en analyser les modalités discursives et les significations dans des textes écrits à divers moments clés entre 1839 et 2008: le rapport de Lord Durham (1839); L’appel de la race (1922) de Lionel Groulx; Menaud, maître-draveur (1937) de Félix-Antoine Savard; Ashini (1960) d’Yves Thériault; Speak White (1974) de Michèle Lalonde; Nègres blancs d’Amérique (1972) de Pierre Vallières; Comment faire l’amour avec un Nègre sans se fatiguer (1985) et Je suis un écrivain japonais (2008) de Dany Laferrière; et Quatre mille marches (2004) de Ying Chen. Pour ce faire, cette thèse se situe dans un cadre théorique interdisciplinaire qui intègre la théorie critique de la race, le féminisme et la théorie queer.

92	Les perceptions de la sexualité et les relations de couple de femmes haïtiennes immigrantes au Québec : pour une exploration des rapports hommes femmes en Haïti Jean-Pierre, Myrlande 01 1900 (has links) Ce mémoire a étudié les perceptions de femmes haïtiennes vivant au Québec depuis moins de cinq ans de leurs relations sexuelles avec les hommes et de leurs rapports de couple. Après avoir opté pour une méthodologie de recherche qualitative, la théorie féministe intersectionnelle a été retenue comme cadre d’analyse. Des entretiens individuels semi-dirigés ont été menés auprès de 9 femmes haïtiennes, âgées de 18 à 60 ans et ayant immigré au Québec depuis moins de cinq ans. Les perceptions des femmes de la sexualité ont été appréhendées comme étant un ensemble de discours et de pratiques inter reliés, qui se construit dès l’enfance, et qui reproduit les types de rapports inégalitaires entre hommes et femmes qui existent dans la société haïtienne et dans leur couple. Ces rapports inégalitaires sont véhiculés entre les générations à travers la plupart des institutions sociales comme la famille, l’école, la culture, la législation. Ce processus de construction des perceptions de la sexualité est également influencé par des enjeux socio-économiques et de pouvoir. Les résultats de cette recherche permettent de disposer de données scientifiques sur la sexualité des femmes et les rapports de couple en Haïti et l’influence du processus migratoire. Ces résultats soulignent également la nécessité pour le travail social haïtien d’encourager le développement de l’empowerment économique des femmes et leur participation aux débats actuels de la société sur l’évolution de la condition féminine. / The purpose of this research was to explore the perceptions of Haitian women that had immigrated to Quebec in the past five years, of their sexual relationships with men and the extent to which it is reflected in the different types of conjugal relationships. After choosing a qualitative research method, the intersectional feminist theory has been adopted for the analysis. Individual semi-structured interviews were conducted with 9 Haitian women, aged 18 and 60 years and having immigrated to Quebec in the past five years. The women’s perceptions of sexual relationships have been reported as being a set of practices and discourses interrelated built since childhood and reproducing the unequal relationships between men and women that exist in the Haitian society and in the couples. These unequal relationships are transmitted through the generations and through most of the social institutions such as family, school, culture, laws. This process is also influenced by socio-economic and power issues. The results of this research give scientific data on women sexuality and couple relationships as well as the influence of immigration process. These results also emphasize the need for the Haitian social work to encourage the development of economic empowerment of women and their participation in current debates in society on the development of women. / Memwa sa a vle etidye ki pèsepsyon fanm ayisyèn yo genyen de rapò seksyel yo ak gason, e nan ki mezi pèsepsyon sa yo repwodwi kalite relasyon ki egziste ant yomenm ak nèg yo.

93	Exploring Intersectionality, Unravelling Interlocking Oppression: Feminist Non-credit Learning Practices McKenzie, Christine 12 September 2011 (has links) The concepts of intersectionality and interlocking identities came out of needs raised by communities and then academics wrote about it. This dissertation examines these concepts and how these resonate with the ways that feminist educators conceptualize and facilitate non-credit learning processes with women. This research focuses on 10 differently-located feminist educators and the processes they lead that meet a range of learning goals. Specifically, this research examines the learning practices that these educators used to help women learners gain a consciousness around their identity and issues of power and oppression. I then discuss how these practices resonate with the theoretical frameworks of intersecting and interlocking oppressions. Anti-oppression, feminist informed research and feminist standpoint theories informed the research approach. The Critical Appreciative Process, which builds on the Appreciative Inquiry (AI) method, was used to explore what is working within feminist non-credit learning processes. In addition, two case studies were elaborated on in order to examine the learning practices that were particularly successful. The educators reflected on several barriers involved in bringing differently-located women together to explore and address the power dynamics associated with power and oppression. These included the defensiveness, denial and avoidance associated with acknowledging and addressing privilege. The educators also shared effective practices for addressing such barriers. Key practices included creating an environment for difficult conversations, working intergenerationally, using theoretical frameworks to deconstructing interpersonal dynamics occurring in the group and providing tools to draw on everyday experiences and challenge (inappropriate) behaviours. Additionally, specific activities for raising learners’ awareness of their own complex and multiple identities and how these identities are co-constructed through interactions with others were detailed. This study revealed the limitations of intersectionality and interlocking identities frameworks in praxis, as well as the ways in which an awareness of identity, difference and power creates an entry point for intersectional and interlocking awareness that aids feminist movements. This research makes a contribution to strengthening the praxis of feminist educators facilitating non-credit processes. Within feminist theorizing, this research also makes an important contribution in contextualizing intersectionality and interlocking identities frameworks within a range of feminist non-credit learning practices.

94	Exister entre deux cases : l’expérience de l'identité de genre non-binaire Plesz, Rebecca 08 1900 (has links) Dans ce mémoire, nous avons comme objectif de comprendre l’expérience des individus s’identifiant à l’identité de genre non-binaire au travers d’une perspective sociologique, constructiviste et interactionniste. Nous positionnons la non-binarité de genre à l’intérieur du système de genre binaire, pour ensuite mieux comprendre la réalité de ces individus à l’aide de la littérature. Cette recherche met en relation les concepts de « présentation de soi » et de « soutien social » afin de parvenir à atteindre sa visée. Ce travail qualitatif mobilise six entretiens semi-dirigés avec des personnes s’auto-identifiant comme non-binaires dans le genre. Une analyse de cette problématique révèle cinq thèmes utiles pour comprendre l’expérience des personnes non-binaires. Les résultats montrent que l’identité de genre se construit à travers un processus d’identification inévitablement affecté par les normes binaires, fondé sur le soutien informationnel et la présence de représentation sociale. Cette identification permet de répondre à un questionnement généralement présent depuis l’enfance et est construite à travers une opposition entre une intériorisation du système de genre binaire et un désir de le critiquer. On retrouve aussi des variations individuelles dans la présentation de soi, au niveau du langage et du corps, malgré une norme d’androgynie associée à la non-binarité de genre. Une présentation de soi plaisant à l’individu est liée à un sentiment de bien-être et aurait un impact sur sa relation au monde. Elle est, en fait, influencée par le degré de soutien perçu et comporte divers objectifs, l’identité restant toujours intrinsèquement politique malgré cela. De plus, le niveau de soutien social perçu varie selon les divers cercles sociaux, influençant alors la proximité et le confort au sein des relations. L’éducation et la sensibilisation envers la non-binarité de genre sont finalement décrites comme pertinentes pour combler un manque de compréhension général sur cette identité, influençant l’expérience des personnes de genre non-binaire. / In this master thesis, we aim to understand the experience of individuals who identify with non-binary gender identity through a sociological, constructivist and interactionist perspective. We position non-binary gender identity inside the binary gender system, thus to better understand the reality of these individuals with the use of the literature. This research links the concepts of "self-presentation" and "social support" in order to reach its goal. This qualitative work mobilizes six semi-directed interviews with people who self-identify as gender non-binary. An analysis of this issue reveals five main themes useful to understand the experience of non-binary people. The results show that gender identity is constructed through an identification process inevitably affected by binary gender norms, based on informational support and the presence of social representation. This identification makes it possible to answer a questioning generally present since childhood and is constructed through an opposition between an internalization of the binary gender system and a desire to criticize it. There are also individual variations in self-presentation, in terms of language and embodiment, despite a norm of androgyny associated with gender non-binarity. A self-presentation that is pleasant to the individual is linked to a feeling of well-being and would have an impact on one's relationship to the world. It is, in fact, influenced by the degree of perceived support and has a variety of objectives, this identity always being intrinsically political. In addition, the level of perceived social support varies across social circles, thus influencing proximity and comfort in relationships. Education and awareness of gender non-binarity are ultimately described as relevant to filling a gap in the general understanding of this identity, influencing the experience of non-binary people.

95	Particularly Responsible: Everyday Ethical Navigation, Concrete Relationships, and Systemic Oppression Chapman, Christopher Stephen 20 August 2012 (has links) In this dissertation, I articulate what I call a personal-is-political ethics, suggesting that the realm of human affairs long called ethics is inseparable from that which is today normatively called psychology. Further, I suggest that these names for this shared realm are situated in different discursive traditions which, therefore, provide different parameters for possible action and understanding. In my exploration of what it is to be human, I strategically centre ethical transgressions, particularly those that are mappable onto systemic forms of oppression. I explore personal-is-political enactments of sexism, ableism, racism, colonization, classism, ageism, and geopolitics, including situations in which several of these intersect with one another and those in which therapeutic, pedagogical, or parenting hierarchies also intersect with them. Without suggesting this is ‘the whole story,’ I closely read people’s narrations of ethical transgressions that they – that we – commit. I claim that such narrations shape our possibilities for harming others, for taking responsibility, and for intervening in others’ lives in an attempt to have them take responsibility (e.g., therapy with abuse perpetrators and critical pedagogy). I work to demonstrate the ethical and political importance of: the impossibility of exhaustive knowledge, the illimitable and contingent power relations that are ever-present and give shape to what we can know, and the ways our possibilities in life are constituted through particular contact with others. I explore ethical transgressions I have committed, interrogating these events in conversation with explorations of resonant situations in published texts, as well as with research conversations with friends about their ethical transgressions and how they make sense of them. I tentatively advocate for, and attempt to demonstrate, ways of governing ourselves when we are positioned ‘on top’ of social hierarchies – in order to align our responses and relationships more closely with radical political commitments. systemic oppression ethics performativity différance governmentality subjectification relationality taking responsibility power/knowledge accountability personal-is-political deconstruction narrative practice racism sexism ableism colonialism decolonization whiteness masculinity abuse harm invitational practice complicity reflexivity self-critique resonance pedagogy flows of becoming queer theory disability studies critical social work therapy power ethical narrative political rationality treatment violence mad studies antipsychiatry psychology gendered peer abuse abuse intervention abuse perpetration intentional states friendship auto-ethnography critical pedagogy An Ethics Inaccessible to Liberalism 0733 0626 0452 0740 0628 0422 0998 0340 0451 0622 0384
