A Notorial Transumpt, 1497

Govan was an ancient settlement, former burgh and now a district in Glasgow, Scotland. It is situated 2.5 miles west of Glasgow City Centre, on the south bank of the River Clyde, opposite the mouth of the River Kelvin and the district of Patrick. Archaeological evidence shows that there was a church and burial ground here as early as 600-800 AD. Numerous carved tombstones dating from 900- 1100 have been found. Govan was a village comprised of thatched cottages until well into the 19th century. It became a shipbuilding town in the early 19th century.

Scottish Rite (Masonic Order) French Language Collection, 1787-1825, 1907, n.d.

The origins of the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry can be traced to France around 1754, when a Chapter of Claremont was founded in Paris. Initially this chapter had seven degrees, but by 1758 there were twenty-five degrees, known as the Rite of Perfection. In 1761, Stephen Morin was appointed to introduce the Rite into the New World. He began with Kingston, Jamaica and San Domingo. Further establishments were made in New Orleans, LA(1763); Albany, NY (1767); Philadelphia, PA (1782); and Charleston, SC (1783). In order to improve the disorganized state of the degrees in Europe, “Grand Constitutions” were enacted in 1786. These Constitutions formally brought into existence the “Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite”. None of the degrees of the Scottish Rite would seem to have origins in Scotland. “Scottish” is translated from the French word “Ecossais”, which is found in some of the French titles of some of the degrees of the Rite of Perfection. It is possible that the Scottish connection is a result of the involvement of a Scotsman, Andrew Michael Ramsey, who may have devised some of the degrees.

La Petite danseuse de quatorze ans : une analyse de la fonction subversive de l’œuvre

La Petite danseuse de quatorze ans (1881) de l’artiste français Edgar Degas (1834-1917) représente et déforme plusieurs catégories sociales et artistiques de son époque. L’œuvre peut ainsi être lue comme une mise en abyme à la fois des changements sociaux et des peurs qu’ils suscitent quant aux redéfinitions du rôle et de la place de la sculpture dans l’art et de l’art, des classes sociales, de la science et de la femme dans la société qui s’opèrent dans la seconde moitié du 19e siècle. D’une mise en contexte de l’œuvre à une analyse de la figure de la ballerine, en passant par une lecture du monde de la poupée et de la criminalité, nous chercherons à montrer comment l’œuvre offre une lecture subversive des valeurs qui sous-tendent ces catégories structurelles du Paris industriel. Ce jeu des catégories fait de la Petite danseuse une œuvre instable et ambiguë à l’image, peut-être exacerbée, de la société. La sculpture de Degas joue avec et surtout entre ces divers pôles de la société parisienne, décloisonnant ceux-ci et proposant une autre façon de comprendre la société contemporaine. Prenant ancrage dans un discours critique postmoderne, féministe et postcolonialist, le présent travail se propose ainsi de réactualiser la fonction critique de l’œuvre.

Les gravures du journal illustré montréalais L’Opinion publique(1870-1883) : une représentation populaire de l’ailleurs

Ce mémoire de maitrise porte sur la représentation de l’ailleurs véhiculée aux lecteurs d’images, au Québec, par les gravures du journal illustré L’Opinion publique. Effectivement, si l’Histoire commence avec les premières traces écrites, elle pose le problème de l’étude historique de ceux qui n’ont pas laissé de tels témoignages, les personnes qui ne sont pas ou peu alphabétisées. Nous proposons d’étudier ces personnes par le biais de l’image, médium auquel elles ont pu avoir accès. Nous avons ainsi cherché à savoir quelle connaissance de l’ailleurs a pu être véhiculée aux lecteurs d’images à travers les gravures du journal. Nous considérons que les gravures sont comprises par tous. Celles-ci représentent la moitié des pages du périodique, nous pensons que ce journal a pu être accessible à chacun, à ceux que nous appelons les lecteurs d’images. Nos conclusions montrent que ces illustrations ont pu étendre la connaissance de l’espace des Québécois, à travers la représentation de l’actualité. Il est à noter que ces gravures proviennent en partie de journaux français et montrent la France et ses colonies. La population montréalaise se trouve donc au contact d’une certaine influence française, dont les élites se font les vecteurs. Une comparaison avec le Canadian Illustrated News révèle de profondes différences. Ainsi, ce journal du même propriétaire indique un intérêt marqué pour l’Empire britannique. Ce journal qui vise un public plus cultivé que celui de son homologue francophone donne à voir un espace plus large à ses lecteurs. Ainsi, chaque ligne éditoriale se fait l’écho de représentations différentes, transmises à ses lecteurs, populaires ou moins, francophones ou anglophones.

Éthique et gouvernance : les règles qui régissent la prévention et la sanction des conflits d'intérêts chez les élus municipaux

RÉSUMÉ FRANÇAIS Ce mémoire fait l’étude du régime de prévention et de sanction des conflits possibles entre les intérêts de la municipalité d’une part et de ceux de ses élus de l’autre. L’objet de recherche est abordé selon une approche historique et éthique basée sur le régime juridique actuel. Le mémoire est divisé en 3 chapitres : (1) la notion de conflit d’intérêts ; (2) le cadre juridique à la base du régime de sanction des conflits d’intérêts et (3) celui sur le régime de prévention des conflits d’intérêts dans le domaine municipal. Le chapitre préliminaire situe l’objet de recherche à l’intérieur des grandes tendances de la recherche juridique sur la question et présente un cadre de réflexion sur la notion de conflit d’intérêts. L’examen des conflits d’intérêts repose avant tout sur un questionnement et sur un jugement de nature subjective : ce qui a été considéré comme un conflit d’intérêts autrefois ne l’est pas nécessairement de nos jours et ce, en dépit du fait que le cadre juridique évolue aussi dans le temps. On ne peut donc pas dégager avec exactitude et pour toujours ce qui constitue un conflit d’intérêts de ce qui n’en constitue pas un. Le chapitre premier est divisé en 4 sections. On y traite notamment de la règle relative à l’interdiction pour un élu municipal de contracter avec la municipalité. On y démontre que l’origine de cette règle remonte aux premières lois municipales du XIXe siècle et que cette dernière a subi assez peu de modifications au fil des ans. La troisième section porte sur les cas de malversation, d’abus de confiance et les autres inconduites prohibées par la Loi sur les élections et référendums dans les municipalités (L.R.Q. c. E-2.2). Une quatrième section sur les accusations criminelles d’abus de confiance et de corruption vient clore le premier chapitre. Chacune de ces sections est abordée notamment en faisant l’historique des dispositions législatives en cause ainsi qu’en faisant certains parallèles avec la législation des autres provinces canadiennes. Le chapitre 2 sur le régime de prévention des conflits d’intérêts est divisé en 4 parties. La première section porte sur l’obligation pour un élu de déclarer annuellement ses intérêts pécuniaires. Cette obligation n’est pas unique au Québec puisqu’elle est présente dans quelques législations provinciales canadiennes. La deuxième section porte sur l’obligation pour cet élu de dénoncer verbalement son intérêt dans une question abordée par le conseil municipal réuni en séance ou en comité. Là encore, l’origine de cette approche préventive est fort ancienne et a longtemps été considéré comme le seul moyen de dénoncer son intérêt sans subir les sanctions prévues par la loi. Une troisième section s’intéresse au cadre juridique entourant les soumissions publiques et qui vise à éliminer toute situation possible de favoritisme ou de patronage. Une quatrième section aborde la question des codes d’éthique et de leur utilité ainsi que les développements récents sur cette question avec le dépôt en 2009 du rapport du Groupe de travail sur l’éthique dans le milieu municipal. Une conclusion vient clore le mémoire en présentant une synthèse de l’étude assortie de commentaires personnels sur les conclusions du Groupe de travail précité.

Les quais de l'estuaire du Saint-Laurent, 1870-1930 : une étude en archéologie historique

On trouve sur les côtes de l’estuaire du Saint-Laurent des vestiges de quai dont la ressemblance mutuelle suggère leur contemporanéité. Les vestiges de ces «quais du gouvernement » relatent une importante conjoncture (1870-1930) caractérisée par l'intégration des localités côtières dans une économie interrégionale. Le quai, autrefois lieu d'interface entre la ruralité et le cabotage, devient pour l'archéologue une occasion de retracer les éléments entrant dans sa conception et sa réalisation. L’observation des éléments architecturaux permet de distinguer les traits architecturaux associés aux quais du gouvernement parmi l’ensemble des techniques de construction déjà employées dans l’estuaire au XIXe siècle.
