JEAN DE LÉRY E A ESCRITA DA HISTÓRIA Uma heterologia calvinista

A inauguração de um olhar humano do índio tupinambá, eis o que encontramos em Jean de Léry (1534-1611), um teólogo e missionário huguenote que aporta em terras brasileiras no século XVI com o propósito de auxiliar na implantação de uma colônia francesa e de pregar o evangelho, tanto aos franceses que aqui estavam, quanto aos índios tupinambás. O viajante em sua obra História de uma Viagem feita à Terra do Brasil, também chamada América apresenta um olhar humano do Outro que, além disto, também se apresenta como uma possibilidade de compreensão do mesmo. Os motivos que constroem esta perspectiva é o que analisamos neste trabalho, a partir do conceito de heterologia proposto por Michel de Certeau. Nossa tese afirma que esta hermenêutica do Outro em Jean de Léry é determinada pelo sistema de pensamento teológico calvinista. A circularidade hermenêutica do viajante francês está condicionada a Escritura Sagrada, dela parte, a ela retorna. A heterologia proposta por Jean de Léry se constitui em uma ciência do Outro construída a partir do sistema de pensamento teológico calvinista.

La société St-Jean-Baptiste de Sherbrooke 1858 - 1980

Depuis un certain nombre d'années, l'histoire régionale et l'histoire locale ont connu un essor considérable. La région des Cantons de l'Est et la ville de Sherbrooke, plus spécifiquement, n'échappent pas à cette orientation historiographique. Plusieurs thèses, mémoires ou études sont venus compléter notre connaissance de la réalité historique de Sherbrooke et de la région. Tous les aspects de l'histoire y trouvent leur compte, comme dans l'histoire nationale. Les historiens sortent de l'ombre les personnages et les événements qui ont marqué la vie politique, économique, religieuse, sociale et culturelle de la communauté qu'ils étudient. Ils ont ainsi raison du temps qui travaille contre la mémoire, collective comme individuelle. L'étude que je présente aujourd'hui s'inscrit dans la vague qui a poussé les historiens à éclairer le milieu où ils vivent et à concourir ainsi, de plus ou moins loin, à l'évaluation de l'histoire nationale déjà reçue. Môn mémoire consiste à présenter et à interpréter l'histoire de la Société St-Jean-Baptiste de Sherbrooke, une Société qui s'est très tôt inscrite dans le développement de la ville de Sherbrooke, puis du diocèse. On pourrait penser qu'il appartient à l'histoire sociale et culturelle uniquement. Mais l'orientation que la SSJB de Sherbrooke a prise au cours du 20e siècle et le climat politique dans lequel elle évolue depuis une vingtaine d'années, notamment, font que mon mémoire déborde largement l'aspect socio-culturel de l'histoire de Sherbrooke et du diocèse Saint-Michel. Il a donc une extension que je n'avais pas prévue au moment du choix de mon sujet.

Documenting reproduction and inequality : revisiting Jean Anyon’s “Social class and school knowledge”

Jean Anyon’s (1981) “Social class and school knowledge” was a landmark work in North American educational research. It provided a richly detailed qualitative description of differential, social-class-based constructions of knowledge and epistemological stance. This essay situates Anyon’s work in two parallel traditions of critical educational research: the sociology of the curriculum and classroom interaction and discourse analysis. It argues for the renewed importance of both quantitative and qualitative research on social reproduction and equity in the current policy context.

Letting go of Neo-Liberalism (with some help from Michel Foucault)

Neo-liberalism has become one of the boom concepts of our time. From its original reference point as a descriptor of the economics of the “Chicago School” such as Milton Friedman, or authors such as Friedrich von Hayek, neo-liberalism has become an all-purpose descriptor and explanatory device for phenomena as diverse as Bollywood weddings, standardized testing in schools, violence in Australian cinema, and the digitization of content in public libraries. Moreover, it has become an entirely pejorative term: no-one refers to their own views as “neo-liberal”, but it rather refers to the erroneous views held by others, whether they acknowledge this or not. Neo-liberalism as it has come to be used, then, bears many of the hallmarks of a dominant ideology theory in the classical Marxist sense, even if it is often not explored in these terms. This presentation will take the opportunity provided by the English language publication of Michel Foucault’s 1978-79 lectures, under the title of The Birth of Biopolitics, to consider how he used the term neo-liberalism, and how this equates with its current uses in critical social and cultural theory. It will be argued that Foucault did not understand neo-liberalism as a dominant ideology in these lectures, but rather as marking a point of inflection in the historical evolution of liberal political philosophies of government. It will also be argued that his interpretation of neo-liberalism was more nuanced and more comparative than the more recent uses of Foucault in the literature on neo-liberalism. It will also look at how Foucault develops comparative historical models of liberal capitalism in The Birth of Biopolitics, arguing that this dimension of his work has been lost in more recent interpretations, which tend to retro-fit Foucault to contemporary critiques of either U.S. neo-conservatism or the “Third Way” of Tony Blair’s New Labour in the UK.

Michel Foucault's 'the birth of biopolitics' and contemporary neo-liberalism debates

Neo-liberalism has become one of the boom concepts of our time. From its original reference point as a descriptor of the economics of the ‘Chicago School’ or authors such as Friedrich von Hayek, neo-liberalism has become an all-purpose concept, explanatory device and basis for social critique. This presentation evaluates Michel Foucault’s 1978–79 lectures, published as The Birth of Biopolitics, to consider how he used the term neo-liberalism, and how this equates with its current uses in critical social and cultural theory. It will be argued that Foucault did not understand neo-liberalism as a dominant ideology in these lectures, but rather as marking a point of inflection in the historical evolution of liberal political philosophies of government. It will also be argued that his interpretation of neo-liberalism was more nuanced and more comparative than more recent contributions. The article points towards an attempt to theorize comparative historical models of liberal capitalism.

Keeping House : a novel and novel companion

The creative work of this study is a novel-length work of literary fiction called Keeping House (published as Grace's Table, by University of Queensland Press, April 2014). Grace has not had twelve people at her table for a long time. Hers isn't the kind of family who share regular Sunday meals. As Grace prepares the feast, she reflects on her life, her marriage and her friendships. When the three generations of her family come together, simmering tensions from the past threaten to boil over. The one thing that no one can talk about is the one thing that no one can forget. Grace's Table is a moving and often funny novel using food as a language to explore the power of memory and the family rituals that define us. The exegetical component of this study does not adhere to traditional research pedagogies. Instead, it follows the model of what the literature describes as fictocriticism. It is the intention that the exegesis be read as a hybrid genre; one that combines creative practice and theory and blurs the boundaries between philosophy and fiction. In offering itself as an alternative to the exegetical canon it provides a model for the multiplicity of knowledge production suited to the discipline of practice-led research. The exegesis mirrors structural elements of the creative work by inviting twelve guests into the domestic space of the novel to share a meal. The guests, chosen for their diverse thinking, enable examination of the various agents of power involved in the delivery of food. Their ideas cross genders, ages and time periods; their motivations and opinions often collide. Some are more concerned with the spatial politics of where food is consumed, others with its actual preparation and consumption. Each, however, provides a series of creative reflective conversations throughout the meal which help to answer the research question: How can disempowered women take authority within their domestic space? Michel de Certeau must defend his "operational tactics" or "art of the weak" 1 as a means by which women can subvert the colonisation of their domestic space against Michel Foucault's ideas about the functions of a "disciplinary apparatus". 2 Erving Goffman argues that the success of de Certeau's "tactics" depends upon his theories of "performance" and "masquerade" 3; a claim de Certeau refutes. Doreen Massey and the author combine forces in arguing for space, time and politics to be seen as interconnected, non-static and often contested. The author calls for identity, or sense of self, to be considered a further dimension which impacts on the function of spatial models. Yu-Fi Tuan speaks of the intimacy of kitchens; Gaston Bachelard the power of daydreams; and Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin gives the reader a taste of the nourishing arts. Roland Barthes forces the author to reconsider her function as a writer and her understanding of the reader's relationship with a text. Fictional characters from two texts have a place at the table – Marian from The Edible Woman by Margaret Atwood 4 and Lilian from Lilian's Story by Kate Grenville. 5 Each explores how they successfully subverted expectations of their gender. The author interprets and applies elements of the conversations to support Grace's tactics in the novel as well as those related to her own creative research practice. Grace serves her guests, reflecting on what is said and how it relates to her story. Over coffee, the two come together to examine what each has learned.
