No full textLe dossier « Hors des centres : bande dessinée et comics au Canada / Off Center : Comics and BD in Canada » met en évidence les inégalités entre centres et périphéries, mais donne aussi une idée de la diversité extraordinaire de la production. Il se veut une première contribution à l’histoire de la bande dessinée « périphérique » sur le territoire qu’on appelle Canada et s’intéresse aux domaines francophone et anglophone.Le dossier « Hors des centres : bande dessinée et comics au Canada / Off Center : Comics and BD in Canada » met en évidence les inégalités entre centres et périphéries, mais donne aussi une idée de la diversité extraordinaire de la production.

La « menace » des comics en Alberta
No full textL’étude des centres et des périphéries implique l’analyse des rapports de pouvoir. Or, le renversement de perspectives qui fait des centres canadiens des lieux périphériques si l’on prend en compte l’ensemble de l’Amérique du Nord n’est pas nouveau. Cette étude présente la réponse canadienne, et plus particulièrement albertaine, au tollé contre la bande dessinée dans les années 1950 et 1960.L’étude des centres et des périphéries implique l’analyse des rapports de pouvoir.

L\u27 exil : formes et enjeux chez Agrippa d’Aubigné
No full textLes tragiques d’Agrippa d’Aubigné portent les traces de l’exode des réformés au seizième siècle. L’exil n’y est pas un bannissement punitif, mais la quête délibérée d’un territoire où la dépravation et l’inquisition n’existent pas. Ce terroir et les voies qui y conduisent sont variées, leurs implications aussi.Les tragiques d’Agrippa d’Aubigné portent les traces de l’exode des réformés au seizième siècle.

Rejection or Celebration? Autistic Representation in Sitcom Television
No full textIn recent years, autistic-coded characters have become a common staple in sitcoms. This paper will examine depictions of autistic-coded characters in two such sitcoms: CBS’s The Big Bang Theory (Big Bang), and NBC’s Community. Sheldon on Big Bang is stereotyped and mistreated by his friends, while Abed on Community challenges stereotypes and is beloved. The different treatment of autistic characters stems from the responses of the shows’ writers to the fear of accidentally misrepresenting autism, with the crew of Big Bang choosing to avoid the label of autism, while Community embraced it and did research to better represent autistic people. This difference has a huge impact on audiences watching the shows. Seeing Sheldon’s friends belittling him because of his autistic-coded traits triggers shame in autistic viewers, while also validating ableist thought patterns in neurotypical viewers. In Community, however, seeing Abed’s confidence in his autistic embodiment serves to boost the confidence of autistic viewers, while his friends’ and classmates’ love and support of him serves as a model for neurotypical viewers of how to best interact with autistic people in the real world. The case of these two shows illustrates two important facts about autistic representation in media: failing to diagnose a character does not exempt a writer from ableist representations, and to avoid this ableism it is important to listen to audience feedback and do research to properly understand the characters from the perspective of the communities they stand for
“We Live in a Very Toxic World”: Changing Environmental Landscapes and Indigenous Food Sovereignty
No full textThe purpose of this article is to understand how historical oppression has undermined health through environmental injustices that have given rise to food insecurity. Specifically, the article examines ways in which settler colonialism has transformed and contaminated the land itself, impacting the availability and quality of food and the overall health of Indigenous peoples. Food security and environmental justice for Gulf Coast, state-recognized tribes has been infrequently explored. These tribes lack federal recognition and have limited access to recourse and supplemental resources as a result. This research fills an important gap in the literature through exploring the intersection of environmental justice and food insecurity issues for this population. Partnering with a community-advisory board and using a qualitative descriptive methodology, 31 Gulf Coast Indigenous women participated in semi-structured interviews about their healthcare experiences and concerns. Through these interviews, participants expressed concerns about (a) the environmental impacts of pollution on the contamination of food and on the health of tribal members; and (b) the impact of these changes on the land, such as negatively impacting gardening practices. The authors of this study document how environmental changes have compounded these concerns and contribute to the overall pollution of food and water sources and unviability of subsistence practices, severely effecting tribal members’ health. In conclusion, we show how social and environmental justice issues such as pollution, industry exploitation, and climate change perpetuate the goals of settler colonialism through undermining cultural practices and the overall health of Indigenous peoples

A Close Examination of Edward Fry and His Report on British Parliamentary Proceedings Pertaining to the Opium Wars and Subsequent Government Policies
No full textThis paper analyzes Edward Fry’s 1876 report on parliamentary proceedings pertaining to the opium trade. In the report, Edward Fry criticized British involvement in the Opium Wars and subsequent opium trade by arguing that Britain should not force the import of opium into China because it was destroying the health and welfare of Chinese citizens. Instead, Fry suggested that the British Empire should assume responsibility by outlawing the sale of opium and refunding the opium farmers in China and India. Edward Fry was not advocating for the end of British presence in China, but he was promoting British imperialist rhetoric and ideology with the goal of extending western influence in China especially through the reputation of missionaries. Although Fry’s report condemned British involvement in the Opium Wars and their support of the trade, he still supported British imperialism in China. This paper provides a brief biography on Edward Fry and discusses his anti-opium stance, his predominant view on the opium trade during the 1870’s, and how these events reflected deeper colonial trends.
Resonant Ecologies
No full textThis short reflection piece weaves a process of continuous becoming between seemingly disparate events: drums, spiders, accordions, dancers, fishers. It serves as an entry into Alfred North Whitehead\u27s metaphysics, while elucidating the process of creativity that binds the temporal flux of events. In search of a resonant ecology, it outlines the countours of bodies, space, time and sound as events within events within events.
