  • Myth Making, Juridification, and Parasitical Discourse: a Barthesian Semiotic Demystification of Canadian Political Discourse on Marijuana
    MYTH MAKING, JURIDIFICATION, AND PARASITICAL DISCOURSE: A BARTHESIAN SEMIOTIC DEMYSTIFICATION OF CANADIAN POLITICAL DISCOURSE ON MARIJUANA DANIEL PIERRE-CHARLES CRÉPAULT Thesis submitted to the University of Ottawa in partial Fulfillment of the requirements for the Doctorate in Philosophy degree in Criminology Department of Criminology Faculty of Social Sciences University of Ottawa © Daniel Pierre-Charles Crépault, Ottawa, Canada, 2019 ABSTRACT The legalization of marijuana in Canada represents a significant change in the course of Canadian drug policy. Using a semiotic approach based on the work of Roland Barthes, this dissertation explores marijuana’s signification within the House of Commons and Senate debates between 1891 and 2018. When examined through this conceptual lens, the ongoing parliamentary debates about marijuana over the last 127 years are revealed to be rife with what Barthes referred to as myths, ideas that have become so familiar that they cease to be recognized as constructions and appear innocent and natural. Exploring one such myth—the necessity of asserting “paternal power” over individuals deemed incapable of rational calculation—this dissertation demonstrates that the processes of political debate and law-making are also a complex “politics of signification” in which myths are continually being invoked, (re)produced, and (re)transmitted. The evolution of this myth is traced to the contemporary era and it is shown that recent attempts to criminalize, decriminalize, and legalize marijuana are indices of a process of juridification that is entrenching legal regulation into increasingly new areas of Canadian life in order to assert greater control over the consumption of marijuana and, importantly, over the risks that this activity has been semiologically associated with.

  • President's Message
    President’s Message - Fall / Winter 2015 Welcome to the Fall/Winter issue of the Sheridan Times. It’s hard to believe that summer has come and gone already and that we are already heading into the cool Fall nights - great for evening walks and ideal sleeping weather. SHORA was busy this summer between our successful 2nd annual garage sale in May, our pool party in June (see page 7) and our 9th annual Shakespeare in the Park (see page 5) which ran for 3 days this year (vs. 2 in the past) and saw attendance exceed 550 people. I attended a fun street party on Barnstone Crescent in August which makes me want to organize one on my own street. What a great way to meet the neighbours and share stories of life in the Homelands! Fall will continue to be busy with our annual Pumpkin Parade on Nov 1st (see page 14) and Christmas Lights contest (see page 5). Our Annual General Meeting is set for Thursday December 3rd (see details on page 13). At that time I will be stepping down after 5 years as your President. I will be staying on the Board as Past-President assisting Pieter Kool who will act as interim President for the 2015-2016 term. I would like to thank the Board and all our volunteers for all their great work. We have accomplished much together and we look YourYour Sheridandan Homelands Specialistscialists forward to continuing to bring the Homelands community together in new and unique ways. We will have room for at least 2 more people on the SHORA board (we have a maximum of 12 spaces) so raise your hand at the AGM if you want to contribute to YOUR community.

  • A Question of Respect
    A Question of Respect A Question of Respect: A Qualitative Text Analysis of the Canadian Parliamentary Committee Hearings on The Protection of Communities and Exploited Persons Act∗ Genevieve Fuji Johnson, Department of Political Science, Simon Fraser University Mary Burns, Department of Political Science, Simon Fraser University Kerry Porth, Independent Sex Worker Rights Educator, Researcher, and Writer This Accepted Manuscript will appear in a revised form, subsequent to editorial input, in the Canadian Journal of Political Science/Revue canadienne de science politique (December 2017), published by Cambridge University Press. The authors have assigned full copyright of this manuscript to the Canadian Political Science Association (excluding the Methodological Appendix [Appendix B], which will be deposited in the Qualitative Data Repository [https://qdr.syr.edu/]). Abstract We evaluate the Canadian parliamentary hearings on The Protection of Communities and Exploited Persons Act to determine whether respectful and fair deliberation occurred. Our focus is on the content, tone, and nature of each question posed by committee members in hearings in both chambers. We find that, on the whole, the vast majority of questions met this baseline, but that committee members were biased toward witnesses in agreement with their position and against witnesses in opposition to it. In addition to our substantive findings, we contribute methodological insights, including a coding scheme, for this kind of qualitative text analysis. ∗ Esther Shannon provided the initial inspiration for this paper, and we would like to express our gratitude to her for planting the seed that led not only to this paper but also to its methodological appendix (deposited in the Qualitative Data Repository [https://qdr.syr.edu/]).
