Beneventi En 1967, Michel Foucault a présenté une communication intitulée « Espaces autres » au Cercle d’études architecturales. Dans cette communication, Foucault développe le concept d’hétérotopies. Ce concept répond aux problèmes d’emplacements et de relations qu’il identifie dans la culture contemporaine. Les réponses qu’il apporte à ces questions de position et de prise de position des individus dans certains endroits précis par rapport à d’autres possibilités offertes par l’espace concret et social qui leur est accessible mettent en évidence l’existence de

Thanks for doing the interview, Patrick. PB: I’m looking forward to it. AS: So, the thing that we’ve been starting with usually is just to ask people how they first heard about AIDS, if they remember the first they heard about it as a sort of general context. PB: I’m not sure if I actually remember the first time. I came out in 1981 in Winnipeg. So it was just at that moment when it would’ve started to be in the news, very soon thereafter. I remember coming across it in various mainstream news media. At the same time in Winnipeg, one of the things that was going on was, I think this was led by at least one of the gay doctors there, was to try and set up some kind of community health place for gay people. So, that was probably just a precursor to what was happening with AIDS. It’s the tail end of what was happening elsewhere in the world, but in Winnipeg it was a bit late. And so, I sort of conflate those two things together. I remember going to one meeting where they were trying to set up a steering committee for this new kind of clinic organization.

  • Football, Nationalism, and Protectionism: the Federal Defence of the Canadian Football League
    Football, Nationalism, and Protectionism: The Federal Defence of the Canadian Football League by John Valentine A dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Canadian Studies Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2016 John Valentine ii Abstract In 1974, Canada’s Liberal minority government acted to protect the Canadian Football League (CFL) from competition by introducing Bill C-22, which promised harsh penalties for anyone operating a football franchise connected to a foreign-based league or team. This legislation was the culmination of a series of measures by which the government had protected the CFL in the early 1960s and 1970s. A number of factors combined to prompt government involvement. From its earliest days, Canadian football was a nationalist concern. The desire to create a distinctly Canadian pastime led early organizers to differentiate it from English rugby and American football by developing and defending distinctive rules for the game. Football associations developed as domestic rather than cross-border organizations, fostering a congruence of the national territory and the Canadian version of the game. The organizational structure of Canadian football reinforced the east-west axis of transcontinental transportation and communications infrastructure fostered by the state since Confederation. Team and regional rivalries became a staple of print and radio news and commentary, integrating football into the national discourse. Following the Second World War, the identification of Canadian football with the Canadian nation intensified as televised games provided fans with more shared experiences of the only Canadian sports league.

The first one we ask people is when did they first hear about AIDS. GB: I’m guessing it was probably early ‘80s, probably when I was still in the closet, and probably just at that point through mainstream media. GK: And then later on you would actually start to connect with The Body Politic and other information, right? GB: Yeah. GK: But that’s later? GB: I was still in Saskatchewan… I think I came out around ’85 or so and then began aggressively looking for better information and would’ve been reading The Body Politic at that time and then, I think Xtra… Whenever The Body Politic folded and Xtra kind of took its place. GK: Yes. That’s a bit later. GB: Yeah. So, yes, I began reading The Body Politic and then in 1988 moved to Toronto. GK: So, when did you first hear about AIDS activism, beyond just hearing about AIDS? People were actually doinG something about it politically. GB: Yeah. Probably again in the mid-80s, around the time I came out. So, I connected with AIDS Regina, because that was my local ASO [AIDS Service Organization], and at that point I had a fairly stressful job, so my volunteer role at AIDS Regina was to be their janitor.

GK: Yeah. I was involved… I’m not going to go into any detail, but the first that I did was that I joined the revolutionary left – the Young Socialists – in the early ‘70s, and through that actually came in contact with people in the gay liberation movement. I came out shortly thereafter in the early ‘70s. So, I was involved in the Young Socialists, and then the Revolutionary Marxist Group (RMG), in terms of left groups. AS: And you’re in High School? GK: I was in the Young Socialists when I was in high school. The Revolutionary Marxist Group would be a bit later, and then the Revolutionary Marxist Group was forced to fuse with another group called the League for Socialist Action, which produced the Revolutionary Workers League that we left on March 8, 1980, in terms of a number of the lesbian and gay people in it. I was involved in a lot of left activism, but also got increasingly involved in queer activism. So, I would’ve been involved in the Gay Alliance Toward Equality in Toronto, on its executive – the last executive possible that closed it down.
