Rebuilding a History: Indigenous books and print material in Québec
Mémoires du livre/Studies in Book Culture, vol. 16-no. 1 / Spring 2025
Shedding light on the stakes involved in Indigenous print material and books from the perspective of a history of the book captures the colonial dynamics at work in this literary milieu while highlighting the decolonization movements also taking place there. Despite significant increases in facilities and events dedicated to Indigenous books and print material, up until now few academic works have addressed the historic and contemporary dynamics around the field of Indigenous books in Québec. It is these dynamics that the present issue of Mémoires du livre / Studies in Book Culture aims to address.

Moving Beyond The Center-Periphery Dynamics
Central and Eastern Europe From The Mid-19th Century to The Present
Since the 18th century, the discourse on modernization—understood as a process aiming to align social organization with the expectations and needs of societies and carrying a promise of emancipation—identifies the Western form of modernity, in its political (democracy) and economic (capitalism) dimensions, as a model to follow. In the multicultural empires of Central and Eastern Europe, divergences in the paths and rhythms of political, economic, and social modernization engraved in collective imaginaries the idea of a structural delay of these societies compared to the rest of Europe, relegating them to the periphery—or semi-periphery—of the Western world. This discourse justified structural reforms and enabled the rise of social groups interested in and useful for these reforms. This conference aims to examine the experience of Central and Eastern European countries with the modernization process from the late 18th century to the present, beyond the center-periphery dynamics.

Literature to Politics and Politics in Literature
“Mouvances Francophones” (Vol. 10 N°1/2025)
This issue of Mouvances Francophones (Vol. 10 N° 1/2025) seeks to understand the strategic role of literary works in shaping political action. The focus is on how literature shapes the construction of leadership, political vision, governance strategies and political action, on the one hand, and, on the other, how writers construct their works precisely within political thought, so that the literary text becomes the representation or deconstruction of a political program.

Disability in World Cinema: Translating Subjectivity
Pacific Ancient and Modern Language Association
This panel aims to address the question of the representation of disability in world cinema (fiction and documentary), while moving away from a purely historical approach that would primarily focus on the evolution of representation of disability to consider how Disability Studies have enabled us to reconsider the cinematic representations of disability. This panel hinges on the assumption that Disability Studies have given rise to a series of critical and theoretical tools, as well as to a renewed perception of disability that no longer sees it as a hindrance, but rather as a driving force for creation.

Quel avenir pour les universités en région au Québec ?
S'inscrivant dans le processus de réflexion ayant eu lieu dans le cadre du cinquantième anniversaire du réseau de l'université du Québec, ce colloque se penchera sur la place qu'occupent les universités en région dans le paysage universitaire québécois. Dans un contexte de grandes transformations liées à l'avènement de l'ère numérique, à la crise climatique et à la mondialisation de l’enseignement supérieur, il est judicieux de s'interroger sur le devenir de ces établissements et de leur mission particulière. Comment les universités en région au Québec sont-elles appelées à affronter les défis du XXIe siècle ? En quoi leur rôle est-il et sera-t-il redéfini ? Comment la réalité de ces universités se compare-t-elle avec d’autres institutions similaires, ailleurs dans le monde ?
