Il s’est présenté à la chefferie du parti québécois en 2005. Les Québécois veulent du changement! Maintenant plus que jamais, il faut nous retrousser les manches pour offrir aux Québécois une autre façon de faire de la politique. Nous savons aussi que les politiciens en place, que ce soit Jean Charest ou Pauline Marois, n’écoutent plus la population. Les politiciens sont sourds et aveugles aux préoccupations quotidiennes des citoyens. Nous sentons que le Québec est fort ! Cette force, elle cherche à se libérer, à s’exprimer… Les Québécois ne redoutent plus le changement, mais ils l’attendent et ils l’appellent de tous leurs vœux! Cette force, cette volonté de changement, les Québécois l’ont clairement exprimé lors du scrutin fédéral du 2 mai dernier. Ils ont mis à la porte de vieux politiciens incrustés confortablement dans leurs sièges depuis plus de 20 ans. Des politiciens à la langue de bois capables de parler pour le Québec, mais incapables d’agir pour le Québec… Le 2 mai dernier, j’ai finalement voté NPD. Pourquoi? Lors du déclenchement de la campagne électorale, j’avais pourtant l’intention de voter pour le Bloc, et ce, malgré son discours timorée, ambigu, voire démissionnaire sur la question nationale. Après le passage de Gilles Duceppe au Congrès du Parti québécois et l’appui inconditionnel du chef bloquiste à l’approche suicidaire mise de l’avant par la direction péquiste, j’ai décidé de sanctionner le PQ.

Victòria Alsina, Dra. Jenny Brumme i Dra. Kristin Reinke Barcelona, setembre de 2019 Dedicatòria i Agraïments A mis padres, Guy y Lise, a mi hermana Marion, a Guillermo, a mis directoras, Vicky, Jenny y Kristin, y a todos los que han cruzado mi camino durante estos cincos años de estudios doctorales. Esta tesis lleva un poco de cada uno de vosotros. Resum El present estudi examina com es tradueix el discurs fílmic, especialment els elements marcadors de la variació lingüística, al francès i al castellà, dues llengües pluricèntriques, és a dir, llengües que tenen més d’un centre normatiu. El fet que diverses nacions adoptin mesures per promoure la indústria nacional del doblatge, en general per motius econòmics i culturals, en ocasions porta a duplicar les varietats de doblatge. Per tant, una qüestió clau és saber com es comparen aquestes versions doblades i com aconsegueixen transmetre la variació lingüística i la oralitat prefabricada a través de les seves respectives traduccions. L’objectiu d’aquesta investigació consisteix a examinar quines són les principals diferències i similituds entre el discurs fílmic doblat de Quebec i de França (per al francés) i d’Espanya i Amèrica Llatina (per a l’espanyol), sobre la base d’un estudi de la pel·lícula Death Proof (2007) de Quentin Tarantino. Aquesta pel·lícula va ser seleccionada pel seu alt nivell de variació lingüística i la importància que Tarantino dóna a la llengua (no estàndard) de les seves pel·lícules.

    Quebec’ international strategies: mastering globalization and new possibilities of governance Guy Lachapelle Ph.D. Concordia University Secretary General of the International Political Science Association Stéphane Paquin, Ph.D. Research Fellow International Political Science Association Paper presented at the Conference Québec and Canada in the New Century : New Dynamics, New Opportunities Queen’s University School of Policy Studies Room 202 31 October – 1 November 2003 Quebec’ international strategies: mastering globalization and new possibilities of governance The objective of this chapter is to summarize the debates and research issues related to the impact of globalization and the crisis of the nation-state and how its redefine the strategies of the Québec governments. The Québec society has become since the Second World War, and especially in the last thirty years, a more global society which simply means that Quebecers understand the importance to act not only locally but also globally. Québec governments have adopted several policies to respond to these challenges. This chapter is divided into three themes. The first theme focuses directly on the globalization debate, on its definition, on its consequences, on the transformation of the Quebec State and the international system. Clearly, globalization is redefining the political relations between Quebec, other nations, the federal government and also between the others communities within the Canadian state. The second theme looks over the issue of governance and upon the political and sociological fragmentation between Québec, as a nation, and the rest of Canada1. Globalization is expanding the set of actions of the sub-state governments and nationalist movements, such as the Parti Québécois, have in hands several means to ensure their survival as a nation.
