Clément Marot élève de Jean : le modèle des récits de formation allégoriques
No full textLorsque Clément Marot raconte sa formation au métier d’écrivain auprès de son père, dans L’Enfer, l’épître « Au Roy » de La Suite et L’Eglogue au Roy, soubs les noms de Pan, & Robin, son récit se fait souvent fictif. Ces entorses à la vérité autobiographique correspondent en fait à la réécriture de topoï issus des récits de formation allégoriques. Marot mobilise ces topoï à des fins rhétoriques – lorsqu’il se défend ou réclame des biens – mais aussi esthétiques – car ils servent au poète à redéfinir son art et l’exercice même du métier d’écrivain courtisan.When Clément Marot tells how his father taught him to be a poet, in L’Enfer, the epistle « Au Roy » from La Suite and L’Eglogue au Roy, soubs les noms de Pan, & Robin, his account often gets fictional. Actually, this twisting of the autobiographic truth corresponds to the rewriting of topoi taken from allegorical initiation narratives. Marot draws on these topoi for a rhetorical purpose – when he defends himself or asks for goods – but also for an aesthetic one – for the poet uses them to redefine his art and the very exercise of the profession of court poet
“The Little Things are Important:” A Closer Look at Peru’s Indigenous Movements
No full textPresident Toledo’s platform and the Bagua uprisings brought Peru\u27s Indigenous movements into the limelight. The long and significant history of these movements, however, is often overshadowed by these recent events. Peru\u27s Indigenous movements gained strength and momentum decades earlier, forming regional as well as international linkages to assert their rights and resist exploitation of their territories. However, the Indigenous movements of the Amazon have lacked recognition in political and scholarly discussion. This analysis examines the factors that have silenced them, in addition to illuminating several avenues that recent Indigenous movements have been exploring since the 1970s. Future research should take into account the “little things” and quieter narratives, as well as the political factors eclipsing them, in order to provide a more accurate picture of Indigenous movements in Peru

Native Plant Forage Forest
No full textThe Galiano Conservancy Association has initiated a variety of ambitious ecological restoration and permaculture projects to support its aim of modeling sustainable living with the natural world. Up to this point, however, their various restoration and food production projects have been spatially and conceptually distinct. A recently clear-cut piece of land across from the Learning Centre building provides the opportunity to synthesize these two approaches to landscape intervention with the creation of a “Native Plant Forage Forest” - quite possibly the first of its kind in North America.Galiano Island, one of the Southern Gulf Islands in the Strait of Georgia of southwestern British Columbia, Canada, is a small community on unceded Hul’qumi’num territory. It falls within the globally unique and endangered Coastal Douglas-fir biogeoclimatic zone, characterized by mild maritimeclimate, and is largely dependent on tourism and resources from the mainland. The Penelakut Tribe, which has been in treaty negotiations with the Province of British Columbia for 24 years, is working to assert its rights and access its traditional foods in a colonized, fragmented territory. This proposal brings together five central goals: (1) to restore ecological function and structure to a logged and degraded site; (2) to engage the Penelakut and Galiano communities in the planning, treatment, and ongoing management of the restoration site; (3) to document the creation and evolution of the project through various media; (4) to produce harvestable native plant foods, medicines, and materials; and (5) to monitor site, report results, and adapt management accordingly. To these ends, a thorough site assessment was undertaken, and a detailed restoration plan and forage forest design were drafted based on the results. Important edible species occupy central roles in the planting scheme. Site and regional history were summarized to inform efforts to engage both Hul’qumi’num and settler communities. Ongoing management and monitoring considerations are discussed, based largely on the masters thesis of University of Victoria graduate Hyeone Park.It is my sincere hope that the implementation of this plan and the evolution of the project will benefit both the human and non-human communities of Galiano Island. In addition, I believe it will serve as a pioneering experiment in the harmonization of ecological restoration and permaculture with one another and with the traditional ecological knowledge that underpins them, providing valuable lessons and data for future projects. Finally, I hope that this project might provide a venue for the most important challenge of our times: the pursuit of truth and reconciliation - between 1 First Nations and settlers, and between human and natural communities - at local, regional, and global levels
Social Justice Theory and Practice: Pākehā, Kaupapa Māori and Educational Leadership
No full text(Printed with permission. Previously published in the New Zealand Journal of Educational Leadership (2004), (19), 47–62).This article explores the intersection of leadership theory and practice using the experience of two Māori leaders working in Kaupapa Māori education. An objective of the article is to enable these Māori educationalists to share their experiences of Māori leadership theory and practice. This research aims to add current insights into the theorising and practice of social justice and leadership within Kaupapa Māori education. Within a Kaupapa Māori research framework, I critically examine the involvement of dominant culture (Pākehā) researchers in Kaupapa Māori contexts; Kaupapa Māori education; and Māori leadership theory. Kaupapa Māori and qualitative research methodologies were the selected analytical frameworks for this study. This is because analysing the experiences of Kaupapa Māori educational leaders should be undertaken within a related theoretical and practical discourse
La figure quichottique et la réversibilité de la relation de mentorat dans Don Quichotte et Le Télémaque travesti
No full textCet article étudie le traitement du couple mentor-disciple dans deux « romans de la folie romanesque », Don Quichotte de Cervantès (1605-1615), le modèle de tous ces romans, et Le Télémaque travesti de Marivaux (1714), singulière parodie du Télémaque de Fénelon. Il s’efforce d’analyser les motifs comiques liés notamment à la transmission des savoirs livresques à un disciple ancré dans la culture populaire, mais aussi à l’éventuelle réversibilité de cette relation de mentorat.This paper examines how the mentor-mentee relationship is developed in two “Quixotic” novels : Cervantes’ Don Quixote (1605-1615), the genre matrix, and Marivaux’s Télémaque travesty (1714), a unique parody of Fénelon’s Télémaque. It analyses comic situations linked with the transmission of literary knowledge to a pupil who is rooted in popular culture, and interrogates the possibility of a reversal of the mentor-mentee relationship
