  • ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation : FEMINISM À LA QUEBEC
    ABSTRACT Title of dissertation : FEMINISM À LA QUEBEC: IDEOLOGICAL TRAVELINGS OF AMERICAN AND FRENCH THOUGHT (1960-2010) Geneviève Pagé, Doctor of Philosophy, 2012 Dissertation directed by: Professor Claire Moses Department of Women’s Studies This dissertation examines the travelings of three concepts central to feminism – gender, queer, and intersectionality – as they move between the United States, France, and Quebec. The concept of gender, central to U.S. feminism, is relatively absent from feminist theory in France and Quebec until the 1990s; rather, drawing on Marxist and existentialist traditions, French and Quebec feminists will deploy the term “rapports sociaux de sexe” to identify that differences among women and men are grounded in social structure and, further, that the two classes, women and men, are constituted in hierarchicized relation. The term queer, linguistically subversive in English but lacking this potential when translated into French, is mainly resisted by French materialist feminists and feminist scholars in Quebec on the basis that it displaces social reality focusing instead on resistance through performance. Nonetheless, in Quebec, activists groups such as Les panthères rose are able to present a version of queer that also addresses systemic oppressions. Finally, the concept of intersectionality, theorized first by feminists of color in the U.S. trying to reconcile their allegiances to multiple struggles, provides a useful tool for analyzing the interaction between different systems of oppression and how they shape the lives of people differently located. In France, a similar desire to theorize multiple oppressions led to the development of the concept of “consubstantialité des rapports sociaux,” whereby social “rapports” of sex and of socio- economic class are co-constituted.

  • About This Issue
    ABOUT THIS ISSUE SCHOOL SCHMOOL WAS CREATED IN TIOHTIÀ:KE ("MONTREAL"), UNCEDED INDIGENOUS KANIEN'KEHA:KA (MOHAWK) TERRITORY, WHICH HAS HISTORICALLY BEEN A MEETING AND LIVING SPACE FOR HAUDENOSAUNEE, ABÉNAKI, AND ALGONQUIN PEOPLE. WE ALSO RECOGNIZE THE CONTINUED PRESENCE OF MÉTIS, INNU, AND INUIT FOLK ON THIS LAND. School Schmool is your radical guide to your often unradical school. In 1994, the first editors wrote, “When we say ‘school schmool’ we don’t mean to be dismissive. What we mean is that there are a lot of things going on at university, and school is only one of them.” Though it began as a bi-annual publication that brought together group profiles, articles, and practical resources for social justice, School Schmool is now an ad-free, corporate-free, agenda-with-an-agenda, connecting the McGill, Concordia, and greater Tioh’tia:ke communities.We hope to bridge (and break) the gap between academia and issues outside the classroom by providing a guidebook where students can find information on resources and initiatives taking place in their communities. We strive to feature content that presents radical, anti-oppressive, and intersectional perspectives on current issues, especially works by Queer and/or Trans people, Black and/or Indigenous people, and other people of colour. The theme for this year’s edition is THE TANGIBLE. Over the past few years, it's often felt like everyone was particularly exhausted. Instead of just talking about how shitty things sometimes are, we wanted to offer possibilities for concrete actions, and real ideas for creating radical communities. Sometimes engagement can mean learning how to occupy the McGill administration building (p.

  • AIDS Activist History Project
    AAHP AIDS Activist History Project Interview Transcript 64 2018.002 Interviewee: Earl Pinchuk Interviewers: Ryan Conrad Collection: Montreal, QC Date of Interview: February 16, 2018 Earl Pinchuk Interview – T64 1 AIDS Activist History Project 16 September 2018 Persons present: Earl Pinchuk – EP Ryan Conrad – RC [START OF TRANSCRIPT] RC: So, we’re here in Montreal, and it’s February 16th, 2018. I’m interviewing Earl Pinchuk for the AIDS Activist History Project. And, I know I didn't say this, but any questions—we're focusing from the early-to-mid '80s, to about the 1996 moment. And if we go beyond that, that's fine. But we can't do everything, so that's really where we're trying to narrow our focus. Also, if there are any questions that you don't want to answer, you don't have to answer them. EP: Okay. RC: We usually start with a number of questions that we ask everyone, just to open up the conversation. And so, when did you first hear about AIDS, and what was it that you heard? EP: Well, I believe it was July of 1981. And, of course, the famous New York Times article that came out, about "gay cancer," there was a rare form of cancer that was killing gay men in New York. It could have been Los Angeles, too. So, that grabbed our attention, because it was something that was killing gay men. But it was not called AIDS at the time. So, that would have been July of 1981. I was nineteen.

  • LGBTQ2+ Inclusion in Canadian Museums
    “This is not a nal document. It has been reviewed by the CMA LGBTQ2+ Working Group and is currently under community review. The document is intended as an introduction to LGBTQ2+ inclusion for Canadian museums, which will help launch a series of inclusive strategies to help guide cultural institutions on how to engage, reect, and celebrate diverse Canadian communities. The content is based on current research, standards, and consultation but feedback is welcomed. Comments, questions, and concerns can be directed to Sarah Gervais at [email protected].” only Draft LGBTQ2+ History ● Pre-colonization: Most Indigenous nations across Turtle Island included people who embodied male and female spirits or were considered a third gender, and they were highly regarded in their communities.1 ● Colonization: Non-binary gender roles and identities were systematically destroyed as a result of European Colonialism and their rigid belief systems. ● 1892: The “gross indecency” law was passed, which made all homosexual male activity illegal. Amendments were made to the Criminal Code in 1948 and 1961 to further criminalize homosexuality. ● 1950s-60s: During the Cold War, homosexuals were suspected to be communists and the RCMP compiled lists of suspected homosexuals and used these to prevent them from gaining employment in the government. The “fruit machine” was used in an effort to eliminate gay men from civil service, RCMP, and the military in Canada. ● 1969: Pierre Elliot Trudeau’s government passed Bill C-150 to decriminalize homosexuality in Canada. ● 1971: We Demand! was Canada’s first large-scale gay-rights protest on Parliament Hill ● 1981: Toronto Police raided four gay bathhouses, arresting over 300 men.

  • Gay and Lesbian Historians on C-75
    Another Limited Bill: Gay and Lesbian Historians on C-75 June 11, 2018 Patrizia Gentile, Associate Professor, Human Rights/Sexuality Studies, Carleton University Tom Hooper, Contract Faculty, Department of History, York University Gary Kinsman, Professor Emeritus, Sociology, Laurentian University Steven Maynard, Permanent Adjunct, Department of History, Queen’s University INTRODUCTION Bill C-75, an Act to amend the Criminal Code, the Youth Criminal Justice Act and other Acts and to make consequential amendments to other Acts, attempts to implement part of the Prime Minister’s apology to LGBTQ2S+ people. The repeal of criminal offenses that have historically been used to unjustly target non-conforming sexualities is an important part of the apology process. However, Bill C-75 fails to adequately address the various provisions used to criminalize consensual sexual activities in Canada. In C-75, the offense of anal intercourse is fully repealed, but the bawdy house law, indecent act, and vagrancy are merely altered, and remain intact. As in C-66, the reforms in Bill C-75 are based on a narrow interpretation of offenses that have been ruled contrary to the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Several offenses are not covered in the bill, including indecent exhibition, obscenity, nudity, and laws used against sex workers. Finally, C-75 does not address the Criminal Code provisions unjustly used in cases of HIV nondisclosure. The morality provisions in the Criminal Code were based on 19th century ideas about what was ‘indecent,’ ‘obscene,’ or ‘deviant.’ These continue to form the basis of many sections of the Code and must be repealed.

En voici un historiquement très intéressant. TÉMOIGNAGE DE JACQUES Pour bien comprendre les propos de Jacques, il faut rappeler certains faits historiques. Premièrement, l’âge de la majorité au Québec était de 21 ans depuis 1782. Elle passa à 18 ans en 1971. Deuxièmement, avant le bill omnibus de 1969, un acte homosexuel était un crime. Troisièmement, l’homosexualité ne fut retirée du Manuel diagnostique et statistique des maladies mentales qu’en 1985 et ne fut déclassifiée qu’en 1992. En décembre 2010, la RAMQ gardait encore cette appellation. LES CLUBS FRÉQUENTÉS Le TROPICAL, nom utilisé par les clients, était situé à l’angle des rues Peel et Sainte-Catherine.

  • Queer(Ing) Space Potentials of the In-Between
    QUEER(ING) SPACE POTENTIALS OF THE IN-BETWEEN by MACKENZIE MCLEAN A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfllment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARCHITECTURE Azrieli School of Architecture and Urbanism Carleton University Ottawa Ontario Canada ©2020 mackenzie mclean QUEER(ING) SPACE ABSTRACT queer(ing) space The study of queer space and its origins in architectural theory can be traced back to the early 1990s. While explorations during this period are signifcant and lasting, their focus has tended towards the notion of a queer space - a space created by, or occupied by, individuals or groups of a non-heterosexual identity. Rather than defning a singular space and how it might be queer by description, this thesis instead proposes queerness as a strategy – an attitude that reacts against, and aims to deconstruct assumptions and hegemonic structures. By trac- ing the historical context of specifc events, sites, and urban zones, that have come to defne LGBTQI2+ movements and culture, this study remains grounded in queer space but uncovers this attitude of resistance. Born often out of necessity and survival, and existing in the margins and boundaries of the heteronormative ma- trix, these moments of appropriation and transformation come to defne an active queering of space. Taking a turn towards architecture and the potential of queering space, the emerging project challenges architecture to be queer – to disrupt and destabilize, to resist and empower – moving towards a new reality of space that does not only react against, but redefnes. /abstract 03 QUEER(ING) SPACE // TO THE OTHERS.
