L ’autochtonie comparée des Amériques. Droit et représentations culturelles
No full textL’autochtonie caractérise les Amériques. Cet essai collectif est issu d’une démarche pluridisciplinaire inédite de collaboration entre le Québec, l’Argentine et la France, qui a réuni des participants de communautés autochtones (Abénakis, Aimaras, Atikamekw, Innus, Mapuches et Wichis) et des chercheurs de plusieurs disciplines. Il place la question de la territorialité autochtone dans les Amériques au cœur d’enjeux contemporains, tant politiques, juridiques qu’environnementaux. Ce livre s’inscrit dans une démarche visant à explorer et à comparer les diverses conceptions du territoire et des rapports humains avec le monde vivant, telles qu’elles sont perçues par les peuples autochtones à travers l’hémisphère Nord et Sud. À l’intersection du droit, des études littéraires et culturelles, de la recherche-création, des études autochtones et de la science politique, ce livre réunit des spécialistes qui interrogent les fondements, les effets et les principes sous-jacents à la territorialité autochtone.

Inter-Nord
No full textOn 5 February 2024, Professor Jean Malaurie passed away at his home in Dieppe at the age of 101. Having refused to join the compulsory work service (STO – Service du travail obligatoire) of the Nazi occupant in 1943, he went into hiding, joining the Résistance movement, an act of recalcitrance which characterized him profoundly and which was to entitle him to military honours during his funeral. The ceremony took place at the Saint-Louis-des-Invalides Cathedral in Paris on 14 February 2024, followed by the military honours and eulogy pronounced by the French Minister of Higher Education and Research, Professor Sylvie Retailleau.
It is with emotion that the editorial board of Inter-Nord wishes him farewell, paying a last tribute to the President of honour of our journal which he had founded with historian Fernand Braudel at the CNRS in the 1960s. We are publishing in French and English the homily of Father Geoffroy de la Tousche, the final remarks by Jean Malaurie’s son Guillaume and the minister’s speech, as well as a homage published in Le Canard enchaîné and a letter of condolences by Mrs Audrey Azoulay, Director-General of UNESCO.
Inter-Nord 23 continues in the interdisciplinary and intersectorial vein which has been its imprint introduced by Jean Malaurie right from the start, trying to propose bilingual versions of texts as far as possible. The current issue contains a special section with three scientific research articles on Iceland, two of which were first presented at the annual Humanities conference of the University of Iceland in 2023. These texts are accompanied by graphic works of the Icelandic artist Thóra Sigurðardóttir. Many thanks to Thóra for letting us publish some of her intriguing artwork discussed in a stunning piece by the Icelandic poetess Sigurbjörg Thrastardóttir.
In the creative writing section, we are also publishing two pieces by the Quebecois author Monique Durand about the Faroe Islands and interviews with Alaskan author Nancy Lord and the journalist Olivera Tornau. Other contributions include a viewpoint signed by four UArctic Chairs, an original French research project and some reviews of Malaurie’s and other works

Geographic profiling in Nazi Berlin: fact and fiction
No full textGeographic profiling uses the locations of connected crime sites to make inferences about the probable location of the offender’s ‘anchor point’ (usually a home, but sometimes a workplace). We show how the basic ideas of the method were used in a Gestapo investigation that formed the basis of a classic German novel about domestic resistance to the Nazis during the Second World War. We use modern techniques to re-analyse this case, and show that these successfully locate the Berlin home address of Otto and Elise Hampel, who had distributed hundreds of anti-Nazi postcards, after analysing just 34 of the 214 incidents that took place before their arrest. Our study provides the first empirical evidence to support the suggestion that analysis of minor terrorism-related acts such as graffiti and theft could be used to help locate terrorist bases before more serious incidents occur

Norma Coverdale, B.A.: the treatment of women in selected works of Henry de Montherlant
No full textThe aim of this thesis is to determine how women are treated in selectedworks of Henry de Montherlant. This is explored by examining their relationshipswith other women as well as with men. Inevitably, this leads to an analysis ofthe multifaceted area of love. Part I researches Montherlant's prose work and included in this section is the investigation of the importance of 'l'ordre male' to the author and the influence this exerts over his early prose work in the areas of tauromachy, war and sport, and where the male adherence to this concept leaves women. The 'syncretisme et alternance' which is central to Montherlant's thinking is explored in this section.Part 2 is concerned with Montherlant's theatre in which the psychological development of the main characters is of great importance. It is in this section that a comparative study is made of the influence of Mme. Elisabeth Zehrfuss' written contribution to La Reine morte. Her unpublished notes are set out in full in the Appendix. The thesis also draws on the unpublished correspondence between Henry de Montherlant and Elisabeth Zehrfuss between the years 1934 and 1945. An investigation is made as to whether or not there are any differences between the way women are treated in Montherlant's prose and in his theatre and the conclusion is drawn that there are
Le design hivernal des espaces publics. Études de cas scandinaves
No full textL’influence du froid sur l’attractivité des espaces publics extérieurs d’une ville est considérable. Est-il possible de penser nos espaces communs pour qu’ils soient attirants, et ce, même pendant la saison froide? L’auteur de cet article tente de répondre à cette question en exposant les grandes lignes de la littérature sur le sujet, puis en présentant quelques études de cas exploratoires menées en Scandinavie. Présentés selon trois échelles d’intervention urbaine, soit les échelles de la ville, du quartier et de l’espace public, les résultats se combinent pour former un inventaire de bonnes pratiques scandinaves menant à un espace public hivernal de qualité
