With a statistical rise in visible, audible and cultural minorities in Canada, the importance of recognizing the relationship between immigrants, culture and identity as constructed in collective discourse becomes paramount. Through hermeneutic and sociocritical paradigms, this research applies a constructionist approach to qualitatively analyze representations of cultural identities in Canadian and Quebec films projecting intergenerational conflicts within immigrant families. From these analyses, five tendencies were elicited: guilt, displacement, in-betweenness, reflections on Canadian society, and heterogeneous perspectives. While deconstructing cultural identity portrayals remains crucial, it is equally important to study these systems of meaning within production. The research is extended through the appendaged short film,Tracing Shadows, a glimpse into the voices of the Ukrainian diaspora in Canada. Both textual analyses and the filmic creation demonstrate the symbiotic connection between society and culture, nurtured within collective identity narratives’ depictions of time and space.

En 1954, lorsque Kateb Yacine publie Le Cadavre encerclé dans la revue Esprit, le metteur en scène Jean-Marie Serreau s’enthousiasme pour ce texte. Jean-Marie Serreau est alors un acteur très important de l’avant-garde théâtrale, qui mène une recherche esthétique et politique. Il est alors en train d’œuvrer à ce que la critique appellera plus tard le théâtre de la décolonisation. Le texte, publié dans une revue militante, mis en scène par un homme de théâtre engagé, représenté à Bruxelles lors d’une soirée très ouvertement politique, est d’emblée interprété comme un texte de militant. Pourtant, une étude de ce texte par le biais d’une approche sociocritique, en le confrontant à la production littéraire face à laquelle Kateb Yacine va se positionner ainsi qu’au discours ambiant, permet de porter un autre regard sur ce texte. À la lumière des archives de l’auteur, de sa production littéraire de jeunesse, systématiquement occultée par la critique, il apparaît que le texte relève plutôt d’un geste créateur typiquement romantique, dans la lignée des poètes romantiques qui furent les modèles de Kateb Yacine. Le texte est investi d’un matériau autobiographique très important, qui va être totalement occulté au moment de la réception du texte : en 1954, en plein commencement de la guerre d’Algérie, ce n’est pas un poète lyrique que les milieux littéraires réclament, mais un auteur militant. Les travaux de Jérôme Meizoz sur la notion de posture permettent de cerner les stratégies que Kateb a peu à peu élaborées pour négocier son apparition sur la scène littéraire. Le matériau autobiographique de l’œuvre, quant à lui, tentera de ressurgir au cours de la collaboration entre Kateb Yacine et Jean-Marie Serreau, pour finalement réapparaître dans la dernière œuvre de Kateb. Cette pièce sur la vie de Robespierre, Le Bourgeois sans-culotte, devient alors une pièce testamentaire, une cérémonie d’adieux de Kateb Yacine. / When Kateb Yacine publishes Le Cadavre encerclé in the review Esprit, in 1954, Jean-Marie Serreau praises this text immediately. At this time, Jean-Marie Serreau was a famous stage director and a very important pioneer of the dramatic avant-garde. His researches were both aesthetic and political at the same time. When he discovered Kateb Yacine, he was working on a very special kind of theatre, with the critics called the decolonisation theatre. Kateb’s text was published in a militant review, put on stage by someone who was an activist and performed in Brussels as part of a militant event : the text is immediately interpreted as militant itself. But a different analysis method – the sociocritical one – enables us to promote a different point of view. Studying how the text faces the contemporary litterary production makes appear how the writer tries to invent his position. The writer’s archives, his youth poems and letters, help us to understand that he does not write as a militant writer but as a romantic one – his models are XIXth century writers. The text shelters an important autobiographical material, which is condamned to be denied by the critics : in 1954 the war starts in Algeria, and the litterary circles do not want a lyrical poet but a commited writer to claim for decolonisation. Jérôme Meizoz’ works on the position concept enables us to stydu how Kateb Yacine constantly negociated the image he was assimilated to in this circles, his identity and position as a writer. Concerning the autobiographical material, Kateb Yacine will try to make it reappear all through his collaboration with Jean-Marie Serreau. It will finaly reappear in Kateb’s last play, Le Bourgeois sans-culotte. Originaly dedicated to Robespierre’s life, the play becomes Kateb’s testimony.

The piece of research aimed to implement a sequence of three activities that relate mathematics with the construction of clothing modeling. A total of ten meetings took place from September 11th to November 21 , 2014, with two groups in the morning and afternoon shifts. The carried out work aimed to meet the needs referring to the planning and development of the subject Applied Mathematics of the Clothing Modeling Technical Course, where at each four-hour meeting the contents of Basic Mathematics and Plane Geometry as well as the use of the contents in the modeling construction were explained. The piece of research emphasizes a case for study as it presents a narrative and descriptive text. Finally, the mathematical behavior and development of each student were analyzed and the socialization among themselves while making up the modeling and solving the other activities was perceived. This enabled them to understand the role of mathematics in its social context and, therefore, in the future, these students will become professionals with more reflexive knowledge. / Esse estudo centraliza nossas preocupações referentes ao ensino-aprendizagem da Matemática no Curso Técnico de Modelagem de Vestuário. A pesquisa objetivou a responder uma sequência de três atividades que relacionam a Matemática com a construção de moldes de vestuários. Ocorreram 10 encontros no período de 11 de setembro a 21 de novembro de 2014, com duas turmas, no turno manhã e tarde. Uma das atividades desenvolvidas buscou suprir necessidades relacionadas aos planejamentos e andamento da disciplina Matemática Aplicada, do Curso Técnico de Modelagem de Vestuários, onde a cada encontro com duração de 4 horas, foram explicados conteúdos da Matemática Básica e Geometria Plana, bem como aplicação dos conteúdos na confecção do molde. A pesquisa enfatiza um caso para estudo, pois visa apresenta um texto muito mais narrativo e descritivo. Por fim, analisou-se o comportamento e o desenvolvimento matemático de cada aluna e percebeu-se a socialização entre elas ao confeccionar os moldes e resolver as outras atividades, fazendo com que entendessem o papel da Matemática no seu contexto social e, assim, se tornando futuramente profissionais com um conhecimento mais reflexivo.

Ce mémoire analyse la construction de la sexualité dans Les particules élémentaires (1998) et Plateforme (2001) de Michel Houellebecq afin de démontrer que le sexuel y est autant une façade textuelle qu’un outil véhiculant une critique. Il interroge aussi les mécanismes à l’œuvre dans les représentations du corps et de la sexualité véhiculées par la société française à l’entrée du XXIe siècle. Employant une lecture sociocritique, la présente étude s’appuie sur le concept d’imaginaire social (Popovic) pour mettre au jour la relation dynamique instaurée entre la société et le texte produit. Cette interaction donne tout d’abord à lire sous un nouvel éclairage la nature des références pornographiques venant interrompre la narration, et elle permet ensuite d’établir le fonctionnement houellebecquien de la subversion dans ce registre propre. La manière particulière qu’ont les romans de décrire le rapport des personnages à leur corps indique une réduction sexuelle à leurs organes génitaux, ce que nous entendons comme une sexualisation systématique des individus. Ce choix descriptif entraîne un questionnement sur les injonctions et les normes présentes dans l’espace public et retravaillées par le texte. En traitant de sujets comme la prostitution, le tourisme sexuel, l’échangisme ou encore la pédophilie, le texte houellebecquien parle du monde sous un angle « oblique » (Hamon), associé à la construction d’un discours double et ironique. En détail, l’étude des Particules élémentaires se concentre sur la tension entre un imaginaire érotico-publicitaire et un discours sur le déterminisme biologique des corps, tandis que Plateforme est abordé selon la question de la sexualisation de l’exotisme et de la marchandisation du corps comme objet de consommation. Ce mémoire fait émerger des constructions de figures féminines et masculines qui véhiculent une critique incisive et un nouveau discours à propos du délitement social sur la société contemporaine. L’amante et la prostituée, entre représentation pornographique et sublimation lyrique, sont redéfinies dans ce contexte. / How can we understand a Houellebecquian text when it evades meaning by incessant references to the field of sexuality? The sexual in the author's work is as much a textual façade as a tool for criticism. This thesis provides an in-depth analysis of the construction of sexuality in Michel Houellebecq’s Les particules élémentaires and Plateforme. The observation of an omni-present sexuality is surpassed in order to question the mechanisms at work in the representations of the body and sexuality conveyed by French society as it enters the 21st century. Employing a sociocritical interpretation, the present study draws on the concept of “social imaginary” (Popovic) to bring out the dynamic reltionship established between these pre-existing patterns and the produced text. First of all, this gives a new insight into the nature of the pornographic references that interrupt the Houellebecquian narrative, and allows us to establish how subversion works in this particular register. The characters’ relationship to their bodies indicates a sexual reduction to their genitals, wich we understand as a systematic sexualisation of individuals. This descriptive choice leads to a questionning of the injunctions and norms addressed by the text, present in the public area. By dealing with the subjects such as prostitution, sexual tourism, swinging, or paedophilia, the Houellebecquian text speaks of the world from an “oblique” angle (Hamon), associated with the construction of a double discourse. The study of Les particules élémentaires focuses on the tension between an erotico-advertising imaginary and a discours on the biological determinism of bodies for the characters, whil Plateforme is examined through the question of the sexualisation of exoticism and the commodification of the body as an objet of consumption. By drawing on previous Houellebecquian critiques and literature, this thesis brings out constructions of female and male figures, which convey an incisive critique and a new discourse on contemporary society. The lover and the prostitute, between pornographic representation and lyrical sublimation, are redefined in this context.
