Manon Labrecque : Corps en chute
No full textThis publication, the outcome of several interviews conducted by Gingras with the artist, documents Labrecque’s videos, performances and drawings, some of which were produced following a visit to Mongolia.

Jacques Perron : Voile
No full textThis publication is the result of a collaboration between authors N. Gingras and M. Delisle, graphic designer L. Marois and artist J. Perron. In her essay, Gingras focuses on Perron’s experimentation with “exhausting” the still or moving photographic image; she examines individual works for recurring themes and techniques such as repetition, dissolution, fascination, the stripped-down image, and the nature of the gaze. Delisle’s short poetic texts accompany illustrations of the artist’s work. 3 bibl. ref
Le son dans l'art contemporain canadien = Sound in Contemporary Canadian Art
No full textStemming from a research residency at Artexte Information Centre, Gingras has assembled this anthology of texts by 18 artists and authors, creating a forum for a discussion of sound in the visual and media arts in Canada from 1980 to the present. Focusing on a specific work or artist, or while discussing their own practice through writing or in interview, the authors reflect on different experiences of listening and hearing, on sound objects and acoustic bodies, broadcasting devices, interdisciplinarity, and the role of silence. Gingras’ essays encompass the artists who inspired this project, as well as issues involved in the creating, dissemination, reception and documentation of works of sound. The accompanying audio CD contains various sound recordings by 16 artists. Gingras’ texts in French and English; other texts in the language of the author. Biographical notes on the authors and on the artists represented on the CD. Circa 75 bibl. ref

La nouvelle loi canadienne sur les sociétés d’assurances et les droits politiques des assurés
No full textThe new federal insurance legislation, which received his
Royal Assent last December, and is expected to come into force this
spring, will replace the Canadian Insurance and British Insurance
Companies Act and the Foreign Insurance Companies Act.
The author, Claude Gingras, analyzes the new set of rules
contained in the new legislation governing the political rights of
policyholders such as the right to receive notice of a meeting of
shareholders, the vote by means of a proxy and the right to submit
proposals. Mr. Gingras comes to the conclusion that such political
rights seem to be privileges, are not equivalent to those of
shareholders and contain significant loopholes

Green and Gold Open Access percentages and growth, by discipline
No full textMost refereed journal articles today are published in subscription journals, accessible only to subscribing institutions, hence losing considerable research impact. Making articles freely accessible online ("Open Access," OA) maximizes their impact. Articles can be made OA in two ways: by self-archiving them on the web (“Green OA”) or by publishing them in OA journals (“Gold OA”). We compared the percent and growth rate of Green and Gold OA for 14 disciplines in two random samples of 1300 articles per discipline out of the 12,500 journals indexed by Thomson-Reuters-ISI using a robot that trawled the web for OA full-texts. We sampled in 2009 and 2011 for publication year ranges 1998-2006 and 2005-2010, respectively. Green OA (21.4%) exceeds Gold OA (2.4%) in proportion and growth rate in all but the biomedical disciplines, probably because it can be provided for all journals articles and does not require paying extra Gold OA publication fees. The spontaneous overall OA growth rate is still very slow (about 1% per year). If institutions make Green OA self-archiving mandatory, however, it triples percent Green OA as well as accelerating its growth rate
