Récits du vieillir « actif » et de la citoyenneté au quotidien : l’expérience des femmes aînées au Québec

Taken as a policy framework, active aging ranks high on most supranational bodies’ agenda. The new political economy of aging portrays “active” citizenship amongst seniors as a key challenge for the years to come. Our research focuses on, first, elderly women’s everyday ‘active’ practices, their meaning and purpose, in the context of Quebec’s active aging policy framework; and second, their day-to-day practical citizenship experiences. Informed by discourse analysis and a narrative approach, the life stories of women 60 to 70 years of age allowed for the identification of a plethora of distinctive old age activity figures. More specifically, four activity figures were identified by which respondents materialize their routine active practices, namely: (1) paid work; (2) voluntary and civic engagement; (3) physical activity; and (4) caregiving. Set against Quebec’s active aging policy framework, these patterns and set of practices that underpin them are clearly in tune with government’s dominant perspectives. Respondents’ narratives also show that active aging connotes a range of ‘ordinary’ activities of daily living, accomplished within people’s private worlds and places of proximity. Despite nuances, tensions and opposition found in dominant public discourse, as well as in active aging practices, a form of counter-discourse does not emerge from respondents’ narratives. To be active is normally the antithesis of immobility and dependence. Thus, to see oneself as active in old age draws on normative, positive assumptions about old age quite difficult to refute; nevertheless, discourses also raise identity and relational issues. In this respect, social inclusion issues cut across all active aging practices described by respondents. Moreover, a range of individual aims and quests underpin activity pattern. Such quests express respondents’ subjective interactions with their social environment; including their actions’ meaning and sense of social inclusiveness in old age. A first quest relates to personal identity and social integration to the world; a second one concerns giving; a third centers on the search for authenticity; whereas the fourth one is connected to a desire for freedom. It is through the objectivising of active practices and related existential pursuits that elderly woman recognize themselves as active citizens, rooted in the community, and variously contributing to society. Accordingly, ‘active’ citizenship experiences are articulated in a dialogic manner between the dimensions of ‘doing’, ‘active’ social practices, and ‘being’ in relation to others, within a context of interdependence. A proposed typology allows for the modeling of four ‘active’ citizenship figures. Overall, despite the role played by power relations and social inequality in structuring aging experiences, in everyday life ‘old age citizenship’ appears as a relational process, embedded in a set of social relations and practices involving individuals, families and communities, whereby elderly women are able to express a sense of agency within their social world.

Les étrangers aux frontières de la France : étude de récits de migration (1870 à nos jours)

In this dissertation, I examine how migration narratives make an ambiguous contribution to the democratization of French national borders. National borders are essentially spaces of crises from which it is possible to study the constant evolution of national identity. Migration narratives, regardless of their ideological dimension, offer representations of the border and of the foreigner that result from a tension between the difficulty to think identity outside of the national frame and the questioning of such a strong tie between identity and the nation. At the border, identities are fundamentally unstable. The first part is focused on the north-eastern and the southern borders of France at the end of the 19th century. The French nationalist literature at the time, advocating for the return of Alsace-Lorraine to the Republic, is characterized by a tension between nationalism and regionalism. The ideology of latinity constitutes a second major feature of the discourse on French identity. Developed by Louis Bertrand, it claims that France can only be regenerated in Algeria. However, a gap between his fictional works and his essays reveals latinity as hybrid and heterogeneous. Borders are also polysemic, namely, they do have the same meaning for everyone. The second part of the dissertation focuses on the southern border of France from the 30s to the 90s. The study of films and novels demonstrate that former borders are still active, especially colonial borders. Finally, the third part of the dissertation addresses the representation of migrants who were trapped in the north of France, at the border of the Schengen area, from the 90s to 2009. Migration narratives bring attention to the totalitarian tendencies of the state, but they also struggle with the contradictions of the humanitarian discourse and the analogies made with previous immigration waves.

Présentation phraséologique et perspectives traductologiques des chengyu du chinois mandarin: De la critique de la traduction des chengyu dans les versions françaises de quatre romans chinois contemporains

Les chengyu, expressions idiomatiques spécifiques du chinois mandarin, forment l’une des pierres angulaires de la phraséologie de cette langue. Leur lourd bagage historique et leur forte prégnance stylistique en font certainement l’un des aspects les plus intéressants et les plus riches du chinois, mais aussi l’un des plus difficiles à maitriser pour les apprenants et les traducteurs de la langue de Confucius. La présente thèse, menée en cotutelle, se veut une exploration des chengyu et de leurs perspectives traductologiques. Notre travail se déroule en deux phases majeures :l’une consacrée à une analyse phraséologique et l’autre consistant en une plongée dans la critique des traductions.Constatant le faible nombre d’études occidentales sur ces expressions idiomatiques, nous effectuerons tout d’abord une brève présentation linguistique dans le but d’en dégager des critères définitoires, sinon archétypaux. Nous montrerons combien cette tâche se révèle difficile, vu le manque de consensus entre les spécialistes — en particulier sinophones. Nous proposerons d’examiner les chengyu à travers le prisme de la tradition phraséologique occidentale, dont nous détaillerons le potentiel mais aussi les limites. Le sujet de notre travail n’étant pas de trancher pour de bon la délicate question de la définition et de la démarcation précise des chengyu, nous lancerons toutefois quelques pistes qui seront autant de critères que nous éprouverons dans la deuxième phase de la thèse.Celle-ci tourne le dos à la linguistique pour embrasser pleinement la voie de la traductologie, puisque nous tenterons d’élaborer un modèle pour la critique de la traduction des chengyu. Après un bref état de l’art sur la discipline en Occident et en Chine, nous détaillerons la procédure que nous suivrons pour évaluer le plus objectivement possible, sans jugement de valeur, les éventuels effets que pourrait avoir la traduction des chengyu dans l’interprétation de quatre romans chinois contemporains par des lecteurs cibles francophones. L’examen se découpe en quatre étapes: présentation macroscopique générale, analyse macroscopique statistique, analyse microscopique qualitative et conclusions macroscopiques. Le cœur de la critique se concentre sur la polyphonie textuelle et sur la multiplicité des chemins interprétatifs contenus dans les chengyu, ainsi que sur les effets traductifs qui peuvent les toucher.Les résultats de cette enquête montrent que, dans notre corpus de quatre romans, les différentes techniques mises en œuvre pour traduire les chengyu n’altèrent en rien l’interprétation des textes originaux par les lecteurs cibles. La conclusion de la thèse ouvre la possibilité d’étendre le même type de critique à d’autres phrasèmes du chinois.
