Notamment, la reproduction ou la publication de la totalité ou d’une partie importante de ce mémoire ou de cette thèse requiert son autorisation. 11 RÉSUMÉ À la fin des années 1980, dans le cadre de consultations publiques préparées par le ministère de l'Immigration, plusieurs acteurs de la société civile québécoise expriment leurs préoccupations face à la concentration de la population immigrante à Montréal. En effet, plus de 87 % des immigrants établis au Québec vivent alors dans la métropole. Dès 1990, le gouvernement québécois annonce son intention de favoriser la régionalisation, de l'immigration dans une perspective de développement régional. Or, la concentration métropolitaine des immigrants n'est ni un phénomène récent ni propre au Québec. Pourquoi dans ce cas devient-il, à cette époque, un problème public? Une analyse de politique publique basée sur le modèle théorique séquentiel développé par Charles Jones nous permet d'étudier le processus par lequel la concentration métropolitaine de l'immigration au Québec est construite socialement et politiquement comme un problème public par les autorités gouvernementales et des représentants de la société civile.

  • A Cultural Studies Approach to Semantic Instability: the Case of News Translation
    A cultural studies approach to semantic instability: The case of news translation Kyle Conway 1 University of North Dakota (USA) This article explores news translation and the semantic instability of politi- cally charged words and their translations. Such pairs are linked in a pa- radoxical relationship of dependence (one is a translation of the other) and independence (they have evolved and continue to evolve within different conceptual horizons). This paper describes a methodology for addressing this phenomenon by considering such pairs as examples of ‘essentially contested concepts’ (Gallie 1956). This methodology derives from a circuit model of culture, and it provides translation studies scholars with tools to describe the dynamic, historically conditioned relationships linking politi- cally charged words, their translations, and their contested, frequently contradictory meanings. 1. Introduction: news translation As the speed of global communication increases, so does academic interest in news translation. “In our multi-lingual, multi-cultural world,” writes Susan Bassnett, information flows through, around, and across language boundaries, and the speed of the flows means that obstacles to communication have to be erased as quickly and smoothly as possible. The processes of global news transfer are extremely complex, and yet the end- product must be available quickly, efficiently and, insofar as anyone can judge, accurately. (2005: 105) This recent interest builds on a relatively sparse literature made up of ar- ticles published sporadically since the 1970s. They fall into three main groups, the first of which includes articles focusing on international news flow, especially as it is facilitated by international news agencies (e.g. Lee- Reoma 1978; Wilke & Rosenberger 1994).

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by UCL Discovery AMERICAN REVIEW OF CANADIAN STUDIES, VOLUME 46.2 PUBLISHED ON-LINE 6 JUNE 2016 A Quiet Revolution in Diplomacy—Quebec–UK Relations Since 1960 Tony McCulloch University College London Abstract Quebec’s modern international outlook and its current paradiplomacy can be dated largely from the Quiet Revolution of the 1960s. Since then, the provincial government in Quebec City and the Federal Government in Ottawa have had to tread a fine line in accommodating each other’s constitutional rights in the field of international relations—a line that has occasionally been breached, especially in the years following the Quiet Revolution and in critical periods such as those prior to the 1980 and 1995 referenda. Foreign governments have also had to engage in careful diplomacy in order to avoid upsetting either Ottawa or Quebec City—and this has been especially true in the case of the countries historically most involved with Canada and Quebec—France, the US, and Britain. But whereas there has been some academic writing on Quebec’s relationships with France and the US, very little attention has been devoted to Quebec–UK relations since the Quiet Revolution. This article seeks to fill that gap and argues that the Quebec–UK relationship since the 1960s can itself best be characterized as a “quiet revolution” in diplomacy that has largely avoided the controversies that have sometimes dogged Quebec’s relations with France and the US. Keywords: Quebec; United Kingdom; Quiet Revolution; patriation; monarchy; paradiplomacy Introduction While diplomatic relations between Quebec and the UK can be dated back to before the First World War—the first Quebec legation in London opened in 1908—it was not until the Quiet Revolution of the 1960s, associated with Jean Lesage and the Quebec Liberal party, that the province began to take full advantage of its international potential.

    Response, December 22, 2010 e-DOC: 3653567 ccmMercury: 2010-000690 E-mail to Michel A. Duguay, Full Professor, Université Laval Dear Dr. Duguay: I am writing in reference to your letter of December 6, 2010, which was sent by e-mail to Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) President Michael Binder and to Greg Rzentkowski, a Director General with the CNSC. Your letter concerns the ongoing public hearing pertaining to the Hydro-Québec application to renew its operating licence for the Gentilly-2 nuclear generating station in Bécancour, Quebec. Mr. Binder has asked me to answer your letter in my capacity as Commission Secretary. First of all., let me confirm that the Commission Members who have been asked to rule on Hydro-Québec’s application have received a copy of your letter. However, only the submissions by Hydro-Québec and by CNSC personnel were considered on December 10, which was the first day of the hearing (Hearing Day 1). As specified in the Notice of Public Hearing (enclosed), interventions from members of the public will be heard in Hearing Day 2, which will be held on April 13 and 14, 2011, in Bécancour. As you know, CNSC hearings are held on two separate days several months apart. Members of the public therefore have an opportunity to observe the presentations made by the licence holder and CNSC staff during Day 1, as well as the questions asked by the Commission Members. Interested members of the public can obtain a transcript or view a Webcast of the Day 1 proceedings and thus have more time and information with which to prepare their own submissions and presentations for Hearing Day 2.
