Le genre de la pauvreté : l'assistance aux indigents à Sherbrooke de 1922 à 1940

Le problème de la pauvreté au Québec n'est pas un fait inhérent à notre société contemporaine. Déjà, sous le Régime français, la colonie avait dû faire face à divers malaises sociaux dont notamment la pauvreté. Pour tenter de les endiguer, les dirigeants de la colonie se servirent du modèle d'assistance français, datant du 17e siècle, sous influence féodale et ecclésiale, pour le reproduire en Nouvelle-France. Ainsi, aux 17e et 18e siècles, la responsabilité des malades et des pauvres incomba aux réseaux de solidarité que constituaient la famille et la paroisse. Durant cette période, l'action de l'Église, grâce à des institutions telles que les Hôtels-Dieu et les hôpitaux généraux et celle de l'État, par sa politique subventionnaire, ne constituèrent toutefois qu'une intervention supplétive. Cependant, les débuts de l'industrialisation au 19e siècle, l'exode rural qui s'ensuivit ainsi que l'instabilité économique et l'immigration des populations britanniques, révélèrent l'insuffisance de la structure d'aide mise en place pour secourir les pauvres et les malades. Fondées à partir de 1830, différentes associations charitables se confrontèrent, elles aussi, à des problèmes d'ordre financier. À cause de sa situation névralgique comme institution sociale, l'Église s'assura graduellement, à partir de 1840, le contrôle des associations de charité mais surtout celui de l'administration de l'assistance au Québec. Et comme le dit si bien Jean-Marie Fecteau: «la charité devient, de plus en plus, affaire de religion et de groupe ethnique. Au cours de la décennie 1840, le mouvement s'amplifie.» En 1867, l'Acte de l'Amérique du Nord britannique attribua à la province de Québec, par l'article 92, la pleine juridiction en matière de bien-être et de santé sauf ce qui concerne les hôpitaux de la marine. La reformulation du code municipal en 1871 conféra aux municipalités, mais seulement à titre discrétionnaire, la charge de l'assistance directe et celle de soutenir les institutions de charité.

Disabled Revolutionary War Veterans and the Construction of Disability in the Early United States, c. 1776-1840

This thesis addresses the following broad research question: what did it mean to be a disabled Revolutionary War veteran in the early United States during the period from 1776 to roughly 1840? The study approaches the question from two angles: a state-centred one and an experiential one. In both cases, the theoretical framework employed comes from disability studies. Consequently, disability is regarded as a sociocultural phenomenon rather than a medical condition. The state-centred dimension of the study explores the meaning of disability and disabled veterans to the early American state through an examination of the major military pension laws of the period. An analysis of this legislation, particularly the invalid pension acts of 1793 and 1806, indicates that the early United States represents a key period in the development of the modern disability category. The experiential approach, in contrast, shifts the focus of attention away from the state towards the lived experiences of disabled veterans. It seeks to address the issue of whether or not the disabilities of disabled veterans had any significant material impact on their everyday lives. It does this through a comparison of the situation of 153 disabled veterans with that of an equivalent number of nondisabled veterans. The former group received invalid pensions while the latter did not. In comparing the material conditions of disabled and nondisabled veterans, a wide range of primary sources from military records to memoirs and letters are used. The most important sources in this regard are the pension application papers submitted by veterans in the early nineteenth century. These provide us with a unique insight into the everyday lives of veterans. Looking at the issue of experience through the window of the pension files reveals that there was not much difference in the broad contours of disabled and nondisabled veteran life. This finding has implications for the theorisation of disability that are highlighted and discussed in the thesis. The main themes covered in this study are: the wartime experiences of injured American soldiers, the military pension establishment of the early United States and the legal construction of disability, and the post-war working and family lives of disabled veterans. Keywords: disability, early America, veterans, military pensions, disabled people, Revolutionary War, United States, disability theory.

Teatteri liikkeessä : Työväenteatterit Suomen teatterikentällä ja työväenliikkeessä kaksiteatterijärjestelmän syntyyn asti vuonna 1922

Workers' theatres in Finland until 1922 The topic of this dissertation is the workers' theatres in Finland before the year 1922. The main question is: why did these amateur theatres within the workers' associations become part of the professional theatre field in the 1910s by getting state subsidy as local theatre institutions? How is it possible that they received this status even after the civil war in 1918 when new professional theatres were founded all over the country? The study also asks, what kind of position did workers' theatres have in the workers' associations and in the workers' movement, what did the Social Democrats and Communists think of theatre and in particular of workers' theatre, and what kind of repertoire did the workers' theatres perform? It is a particular feature of Finland that the professional theatre field was not organised and that the workers’ movement had a relatively strong political position. The study concludes that some workers' theatres were the only steady theatre institutions in their surroundings, and thus functioned as local popular theatres performing to all social groups. Although amateur-based, they started to resemble professional theatres. Even though the Social Democratic Party did not have a specific theatre policy, the leaders of the Party appreciated and supported the workers' theatres as educational institutions and worked for their artistic improvement. The workers' theatres were also largely approved of and seen as people's theatres thought to unite and educate the nation and the working class. This reveals the need for national consensus, in the 1910s against the Russian government who worked to dissolve the autonomous position of the Finnish state, and after the civil war (1918) against the threat of a communist revolution. A wave of agitating proletarian theatre was felt in Finland in the early 1920s but it was marginalised by the large anti-communist majority.
