Rapp-Jaletzke, Sybille M. "The Canadian experience : broadcasting in Canada and its influence on the Canadian identity". Thesis, McGill University, 1991. http://digitool.Library.McGill.CA:80/R/?func=dbin-jump-full&object_id=61110.
Texto completo da fonteResumo:
This thesis examines the role of broadcasting in Canada with regard to developing and maintaining a national identity in the face of United States influence via the media. The subject is examined within the theoretical framework provided by the science of cybernetics and the Laws of Thermodynamics. A historical overview of Canadian broadcasting policy and institutions is provided. The work of the various royal commissions and other investigatory bodies is analyzed. The most important contemporary institutions, the CRTC, the CBC and the federal Department of Communications, are situated within the context. The effects of the most recent technologies, cable television, satellites, Pay-TV and VCRs are examined. Canadian broadcasting is also viewed in the context of the 1989 Canada-United States Free Trade Agreement and the New World Information and Communication Order. Our conclusion suggests that the future of Canada's identity depends primarily on the quality of domestic broadcasting. Finally, we suggest that Canadians and Europeans, who are facing some comparable problems in a united Europe, can learn from each others's experiences.

MacLean, Alyssa Erin. "Canadian migrations : reading Canada in nineteenth-century American literature". Thesis, University of British Columbia, 2010. http://hdl.handle.net/2429/30313.
Texto completo da fonteResumo:
This dissertation contributes to the fields of Canadian literature, American literature, and transnational and hemispheric studies by examining Canada’s place in American Renaissance discussions about imperialism, citizenship, and racial and national identity. In the nineteenth-century US, Canada became symbolically important because of its perceived common origins with the US as well as its increasing resistance to forms of American imperialism. Canadian Migrations examines the significance of the Canada-US relationship by analysing literary representations of two population movements across the Canada-US border: the 1755 deportation of French Catholic Acadians from Canada to the American colonies and the antebellum flight of African Americans north to Canada. American authors gravitated towards these narratives of displacement to and from Canada in order to discuss the meaning of American citizenship and the treatment of racial minorities within US borders. I argue that both of these Canada-US movements prompted critical inquiries in US culture about forms of American imperialism. In Part One, I examine authors such as Nathaniel Hawthorne, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, and Harriet Beecher Stowe, who portrayed the violent expulsion of Acadians by British troops justified the creation of the United States as a necessary defense against imperial rule. Yet the Acadian expulsion also prompted these authors to question the contemporary US government’s own displacement of racial and linguistic minorities through slavery and westward expansion. In Part Two, I examine the northward movement of fugitive slaves across Lake Erie to Canada. By crossing Lake Erie, Black migrants—and the iconic texts written about them—challenged the conceptual categories that sustained US slavery and imperialism. Authors such as Stowe, Josiah Henson, Lewis Clarke, and William Wells Brown described scenes of nautical transit and transformation across the Lake Erie Passage to contest US slavery and to develop notions of Black citizenship. By recovering this conversation about the significance of Canada-US cross-border movement, I position nineteenth-century Canada within the movement of people and ideas across the Black Atlantic world. Together, my chapters demonstrate how the imagined community of the United States emerged through a series of complex political, cultural, and literary negotiations with Canada.

Kachmar, Philip J. "Western Canadian populism : reflections on the Turner thesis and Canada". Thesis, University of British Columbia, 2012. http://hdl.handle.net/2429/43142.
Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Frederick Jackson Turner’s influential Frontier Thesis has been widely applied in the United States to explain the development of America’s democratic and individualistic political culture. Despite Canada’s North American location, colonial heritage, and sprawling geography, the Frontier Thesis failed to take root in the collective imagination of early Canadians. However, as the economic influence of the Canadian west has shifted, so too has the relevance of Turner’s thesis for Canada.
This paper asserts that political developments in 19th, 20th, and 21st century western Canada can be explained, at least in part, through an application of the Frontier Thesis. I begin by comparing Turner’s argument to the works of Harold Innis and J.M.S. Careless to illustrate why the frontier had a greater effect on 19th century America than 19th century Canada. The results of this comparison illustrate the need for a reconsideration of the frontier’s relevance in the Canadian west. I argue that, although Canada’s early western political culture was dominated by European influences, historical and geographical factors ultimately facilitated the emergence of western Canadian populism.

Darwich, Lina. "Growing up in Canada : youth ethnic identity and Canadian identity". Thesis, University of British Columbia, 2013. http://hdl.handle.net/2429/45735.
Texto completo da fonteResumo:
The present study examined early (grades 6-7) and middle adolescents’ (grades 8-9) sense of belonging to school and to Canada. Belonging entails feelings of connectedness to our families, friends, schools, communities, and nations. Several studies have investigated adolescents’ sense of belonging to school but few have examined whether youths’ belonging to school varied as a function of ethnicity, time lived in Canada, ethnic discrimination, and ethnic identity. Moreover, early and middle adolescents’ belonging to Canada has never been studied. Thus, the primary objective of the present study was to examine the role of youths’ 1) time in Canada, 2) ethnicity, 3) their experiences with peer ethnic discrimination at school and 4) ethnic identity in explaining their sense of belonging to school and to Canada, respectively. The secondary objective of this study was to examine two distinct dimensions of ethnic identity – private regard and public regard – within a Canadian context. Early and middle adolescents enrolled in schools in Vancouver lower mainland participated in the present study. The first group included 158 students in grades 6 and 7 and the second group included 340 students in grades 8 and 9. Students in grades 6-7 were interviewed individually. Students in grades 8-9 were asked to complete a paper-and-pencil survey during a single group testing session. Results showed that discrimination was linked to both private and public regard. Additionally, for middle adolescents, the link between discrimination and public regard varied as a function of ethnicity. Years lived in Canada was linked to belonging to Canada, with students who have lived in Canada for six years or less reporting lower levels of belonging than their peers who have lived in Canada all their life. Higher levels of ethnic discrimination were associated with lower levels of school belonging but not lower levels of Canadian belonging. As hypothesized, positive levels of private and public regard were associated with their sense of belonging to school and to Canada. Importantly, years lived in Canada significantly moderated the link between ethnic regard and belonging. The present study demonstrated the complexity of studying ethnic regard and Canadian belonging during adolescence.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
The idea that Canada was transformed into a "constitutional democracy" in 1982 is widely believed by the public, yet rarely examined in academic literature. This article identifies what it calls a "theory of Constitutional democracy" and then applies it to a test case, the Supreme Court of Canada's decisions on the equality claims of lesbians and gay men. It concludes that if the public expected such a transition, it has yet to be made.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
The ten year debate over the introduction of pay television in Canada is addressed using the concept of external signals to examine the interactions between the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) and the players in the regulatory environment.A critique of the notions of "public interest" and of regulatory "capture" precedes the analysis. An historical overview establishes the key issues shaping the nature of the CRTC as a signal-sending and signal-receiving institution.
The evidence demonstrates that the CRTC was not a passive receptor of external signals, but actively shaped and directed or deflected incoming signals according to its own public priorities. The conclusion holds that the traditional capture model does adequately describe the CRTC's behaviour as it attempted to manage the complex political and technological forces surrounding the pay television issue.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
This study explores the political impact of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms on the Supreme Court of Canada. This influence is contrasted with the judiciary's historic reluctance to recognize civil liberties, commencing with the position taken by the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council and the cautious reaction of the Supreme Court to the Diefenbaker Bill of Rights.The treatment of civil liberties under the Charter is considered through a survey of some of the Charter cases addressed by the Supreme Court of Canada. The political consequences of the Court's decisions are examined. Alternative possibilities for the Court's role in Canadian society are considered, including the prospects for entrenchment under the Meech Lake Accord and other recently proposed reforms.
The criticism that too much power is being vested in the "least democratic branch" is addressed and the suggestion that the Charter should be located in the "communitarian tradition of Canadian politics" is appraised. This study reflects upon the theoretical assumptions which underlie the existence of the Charter, as it evaluates the political theory behind differing conceptions of judicial interpretation. This thesis concludes by determining that the Supreme Court has made a positive political contribution to Canadian society.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Ce travail, basé sur une méthodologie inspirée de la Grounded Theory, explore l’univers de la consommation d’objets usagés. Les résultats se fondent sur une étude ethnographique réalisée durant onze mois dans la région métropolitaine de Montréal (Québec) sur le terrain des marchés aux puces, ventes de garage, magasins d’occasions et sites internet de petites annonces en ligne. Après avoir défini puis analysé les trois principaux moments de l’achat d’occasion que sont le furetage, l’approche et la prise de possession, les données mettent en avant la constante négociation qu’impose l’univers des objets de seconde main avec le concept d’altérité : lorsque l’on achète d’occasion, la présence de l’Autre se fait ainsi facilitante, incommodante ou encombrante mais demeure omniprésente. Fort de ce premier constat, ce travail souligne ensuite l’apparente complexité du processus d’appropriation à l’endroit des objets d’occasion et l’existence d’un « je ne sais quoi » à dépasser afin de pouvoir jouir pleinement de leur possession. Si l’examen des observations et discours des six catégories d’acheteurs (les Malgré-Moi, les Résistants et les Maîtres-Chasseurs) et non-acheteurs (les Angoissés de l’image, les Angoissés de l’échec et les Angoissés de l’impur) interrogées fait état de perceptions, motivations et pratiques différenciées pour chacune des catégories identifiées, il révèle toutefois une difficulté partagée à faire sien l’objet ayant déjà appartenu à un autre que soi. De ce constat émerge alors la mise en lumière d’une fonction additionnelle des biens de consommation : l’objet support du territoire de l’individu, l’objet territoire mobile. Dans le contexte de la consommation d’occasion, l’objet usagé se fait ainsi territoire de l’Autre : un territoire qu’il s’agit de conquérir avant d’être en mesure de se l’approprier, conquête dont la difficulté sera fonction du sujet lui-même et du degré d’appropriabilité inhérent aux trois catégories d’objets usagés repérées (les Possédés, les Habités et les Inoccupés). Cette conquête s’articulera ensuite autour de deux principaux processus : la mise à distance de l’Autre visant l’expropriation du ou des précédents propriétaires, puis la mise en soi de l’objet usant à la fois de perceptions et d’actions vouées à faire complètement sien cet objet appartenant anciennement à l’AutreThis work, based on methodology inspired by grounded theory, is an exploration of used object consumption. Results have been based upon an ethnographic study carried out over an 11-month period in the greater metropolitan Montreal (Quebec) area, through fieldwork in flea markets, garage sales, second hand stores and online classified ad websites. The data clearly underlines the continual negotiation process inherent to the realm of second-hand goods, with the overarching concept of otherness: when purchasing second-hand, the presence of the Other can be facilitating, incoveniencing or cumbersome, but it remains omnipresent. Emboldened by this initial observation, the work then went on to highlight the apparent complexity of the appropriation process with regard to second-hand objects and the existence of a certain "je ne sais quoi" that must be overcome in order to fully enjoy any new possession. Thus, from this observation, light is shed on an additional function of consumer goods: the object a personal territorial support - the mobile territorial object. As such, in the context of second-hand consumption, a used item is the Other's territory, which must be conquered so as to enable appropriation, with the difficulty of the conquest being a function of the item in question and of the degree of appropriability inherent to the three detected used object categories (Possessed, Inhabited and unoccupied). This conquest then revolves around two primary processes: a distancing from the Other meant to expropriate one or more previous owners, and then the taking unto oneself of an object, using both perceptions and actions meant to make entirely one's own an object that had previously belonged to an Other

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Dialogue between courts and legislatures can occur where legislatures reverse, modify or avoid judicial decisions. With two exceptions, however, legislatures have only reversed the Supreme Court on three occasions. Defiant legislative responses enacted without the notwithstanding clause undermine the Charter and the courts, and are an inappropriate means of expressing institutional disagreement. However, based on a model of coordinate constitutionalism, recourse to the override constitutes a legitimate means for legislatures to advance alternate interpretations of Charter rights. Furthermore, section 33's value lies in the opportunity it creates for public deliberation regarding issues of national importance. Its relative disuse can be attributed to a combination of factors including its legislative history, the influence of American constitutionalism and an executive-dominated parliamentary process. Recognizing the legitimacy of section 33 would contribute to a greater respect for the roles and responsibilities of all three branches of government under a system of constitutional supremacy.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
This study represents a qualitative and quantitative analysis of the Supreme Court of Canada's treatment of the exclusionary rule set out in s.24(2) of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The objective of this thesis is to contribute to the theoretical debate between legal positivism and legal realism by examining judicial discretion and the application of s.24(2) by the justices of the Supreme Court. The goal of this work is to demonstrate the weakness of the positivist school in its basic premise that judicial decisions are based solely on the application of the rule of law. It is contended that Supreme Court decisions are derived not only from the words of the law, but also from extra-legal factors, since judges possess certain predispositions by virtue of their own personal experiences. This thesis will illustrate that the exercise of judicial discretion by the Court in its interpretation of s.24(2) has had a profound impact on the nature of Canadian criminal justice policy, moving Canada even closer to the due process model of criminal justice and further from the crime control model than was intended by the framers of the Charter. Both the qualitative and quantitative analysis of s.24(2) Supreme Court decisions show that the language of this provision is often circumvented by the justices who are not constrained by either the intention of the framers or even their own precedent. Consequently, the vague wording of this provision coupled with the discretion conferred on these justices allows the Court to read the exclusionary provision in a manner that best accommodates the exclusionary philosophies of the majority of Supreme Court justices.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms can be interpreted in two ways regarding its relation with administrative law. First, as an alternative statutory remedy against government; second, as a general democratic mandate to reconsider the foundations of Canadian administrative law. Nevertheless, in spite of the entrenchment of the Charter, the former interpretation has prevailed. Indeed, since 1982, the Charter has developed as a distinct body of rights operating separately from administrative law remedies.The interpretation of the Charter as a distinct statutory remedy has caused problems in both the definition of administrative power under the Charter and in the judicial review of administrative action. First, the interpretation of the Charter as autonomous remedy has polarized the definition of administrative power insofar as administrative authorities can either apply or not apply the Charter. However, both solutions are extreme: administrative authorities are not superior courts; conversely, the notwithstanding clause set aside, the power to give effect to the Charter cannot validly be withdrawn. Second, at the judicial level, even though it is part of the Constitution, the Charter has been treated as an autonomous cause of action against government, thus distinct from inherent judicial powers. This has prompted a separate regime of judicial power under the Charter, and separate constitutional and administrative law standards of review.
However, the autonomy of the Charter and administrative law, at both administrative and judicial levels, is being reconciled through the integration of the Charter into the process of statutory interpretation, thus minimizing the distinction between "administrative law" and the "law of the Charter".

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Most recent Canadian studies on the mental health and behavioural problems of Canadian immigrant children have focused on the impact of various socioeconomic and demographic factors. To better understand the emotional and behavioural problems of immigrant children, it is important to look beyond the children's family demographics and to assess the broader social context. The current study explored the effects of immigrant children's social relationships within families and peer groups, as well as the effects of their demographic backgrounds, on the children's behavioural problems. This paper is based on the data for 182 Chinese immigrant children aged 11 to 13 years old collected from the New Canadian Children and Youth Study (NCCYS) 1st Wave in Montreal. Measures of the social relationships and behavioural problems include the following three tools: children's perceptions of their emotional and behavioural problems scales (five subscales); children's perception of parental relationships (parental nurturance, parental rejection, and relationships with parents); peer relationships (social competence, involvement with peers in trouble, and participating in bullying). The regression results indicated that immigrant children's relationships with both parents and peers were the most significant predictor of specific behaviour problems. Demographic factors, especially family structure, gender, and ethnicity, were also found to influence behavioural problems of Chinese immigrant children. In order to improve the integration and adaptation process for immigrant children and their families with adjustment difficulties in their social relationships and behavioural problems, relevant intervention and prevention programs (including early identification of children at risk, developing pro-social skills, improving parent-child interaction skills) need to be developed in school settings in collaboration with the community, by government, and by ethno-specific community groups.

Le granite du lac brisson (labrador central) est l'un des rares exemples de pluton peralcalin acide actuellement connu dans le bouclier canadien. Avec les complexes de red wine et de flowers river, il represente, par ses ages rb/sr (1189+/32ma et k/ar (1163+/21ma), l'extension occidentale de la province alcaline anorogenique du gardar (groenland). Ce pluton presente, au plan petrographique, trois caracteristiques majeures: 1) une composition mineralogique constante et simple avec des mineraux majeurs definissant une texture agpaitique (microcline, albite, quartz, amphibole et pyroxene sodiques), et des mineraux accessoires, plus inegalement repartis, typiques des intrusions alcalines (aenigmatite, astrophyllite, elpidite, gittinsite. . . ); 2) l'abondance des enclaves du facies de bordure fin; 3) l'absence de deformation tectonique posterieure a la consolidation. La geochimie des elements majeurs, caracterisee par des teneurs elevees en sodium, potassium et dans une moindre mesure en fer, opposees a de faibles valeurs pour les autres elements, en fait un granite hyperalcalin sodique correspondant aux differenciats terminaux de la lignee alcaline: les granites albitiques a arfvedsonite-aegrine. L'evolution des elements majeurs revele le controle de la cristallisation fractionnee dans la genese du pluton. Les teneurs en elements traces et, a un degre moindre, en terres rares sont plus elevees que dans la plupart des complexes alcalins connus. Leur evolution confirme le role de la cristallisation fractionnee et met en evidence une contamination crustale faible. La participation de phases fluorees secondaires, responsables des enrichissements anormaux en elements lithophiles, et de fluides mantelliques a rapport th/u eleve, porteurs de ni, zn est discutee. Ces caracteres petrographiques et geochimiques font du pluton du lac brisson un granite typiquement anorogenique, intraplaque. Sa position geodynamique

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
This thesis is an empirical comparison of the relationship between money and other key economic variables and investigates an alternative method of defining money in Canada. Severe theoretical problems with traditional monetary aggregation methods are identified and Divisia aggregates are examined through the use of index number and aggregation theory. Summation and Divisia aggregates are constructed, tested and compared in three critical areas: information content, causality and stability. In particular this thesis investigates whether Divisia money is a potentially useful indicator of economic conditions. The data consists of Canadian quarterly observations for the period 1968.1 to 1989.4 for 26 different monetary assets and their own rates of return. The Divisia indices do not clearly outperform their summation counterparts but do show consistent and stable growth trends during the period in question. The results show that Divisia monetary aggregation is theoretically more appealing than the simple sum approach and that Divisia money provides meaningful information for Canadian monetary policy.

Doherty, Michael P. "Aboriginal dominion in Canada". Thesis, University of Aberdeen, 2017. http://digitool.abdn.ac.uk:80/webclient/DeliveryManager?pid=233439.
Texto completo da fonteResumo:
In much of Canada, Aboriginal rights – including land rights – were never extinguished by treaty, and presumptively continue to exist. Jurisprudence has established that in Aboriginal groups' traditional territories, they will have Aboriginal title – the right to exclusive use and occupation - in those areas where they can demonstrate both occupation and exclusivity at the date of the assertion of Crown sovereignty, and that they will have hunting and fishing rights in areas where they can demonstrate occupation but not exclusivity. This leaves open the question of what right they have in areas where they can demonstrate exclusivity but not occupation. This thesis argues for the existence in such areas of a right that has not previously been recognized in Canada, namely a right to prohibit resource use or extraction. This right – here termed “Aboriginal dominion” – is argued to be analogous to a negative easement in European property law systems. Even drawing such an analogy, however, requires a level of analysis that has been lacking with regard to Aboriginal property rights in Canada, since courts have insisted that such rights are sui generis, unique. This insistence is here called into question, and an approach that analyzes property rights as being responsive to the needs of human beings in particular times and places is urged instead. To the extent that such analysis results in the recognition of new Aboriginal rights, including Aboriginal dominion, it may help to bring Canada in line with international norms, as embodied in the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and other instruments, and may contribute to achievement of the ultimate goal of Canadian Aboriginal law: reconciliation.

The modern Supreme Court of Canada plays a pivotal role in Canadian politics. As the highest court in the country, the decisions of the Supreme Court touch on a wide range of issues: criminal law, civil law, federalism, and individual rights and freedoms. The Supreme Court of Canada is the nation’s highest court of appeal. To understand its role further, it is useful to discuss the Supreme Court within the context of Canada’s judicial system.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
This study compares how English and French Canadian intellectuals viewed American society from 1891 to 1945. During the period under study, the Dominion experienced accelerated industrialization and urbanization, massive immigration, technological change, and the rise of mass culture. To the nation's intellectuals, many of these changes found their source and their very embodiment in the United States. America, it was argued, was the quintessence of modernity, having embraced, among other things, secularism, democracy, mass culture, and industrial capitalism.In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Canadian hostility to the United States and continental integration was expressed in two conservative discourses: that of English Canadian imperialism and French Canadian nationalism. Despite their fundamental divergence on the national question; both imperialists and nationalistes shared an essentially antimodern outlook, and anti-Americanism was their logical point of convergence.
By contrast, the most passionate Canadian defenders of American society could be found among liberal and socialist intellectuals like F. R. Scott and Jean-Charles Harvey. They saw continental integration and Canadian-American convergence as both inevitable and desirable. Intellectual continentalism reached its summit of influence during the 1930s and 1940s.
The present study is based on the analysis of some 520 texts found essentially in the era's periodical literature. Each, at least in part, explores some aspect of American life or of the relationship between Canada and the United States. Unlike most previous scholarship, which has tended to view anti-American sentiment merely as an expression of Canadian nationalism, this study is more concerned with Canadian intellectuals as thinkers on the left, the right, and the centre.
The comparative, pan-Canadian nature of this study reveals that English and French Canadian intellectuals shared common preoccupations with respect to the United States. However, the tone and emphasis of their commentary often differed. In English Canada, where political institutions and the imperial bond were viewed as the mainstays of Canadian distinctiveness, writing on the United States tended to deal primarily with political and diplomatic issues, in Quebec, where political institutions were not generally viewed as vital elements of national distinctiveness, social and cultural affairs dominated writing on the United States.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Residential outdoor schools are multi-day learning camps that provide unique settings in which to deliver environmental education. However, such schools are also very complex to develop and difficult to maintain and operate. Within Canada though, there are many examples of successful outdoor school operations, three of which are considered here: the North Vancouver Outdoor School, the Olympic Park Institute and the Golden Ears Learning Centre. From these case studies lessons can be learned regarding issues such as: land tenureship, program design, staffing options, administrative systems, facility requirements, finance options and abilities to attract students. The discussion of these factors can then be applied to the development of a nation wide network of residential outdoor schools within the framework of Canadian Biosphere Reserves.Currently there are ten Biosphere Reserves in Canada which, when analyzed, prove to be very adequate sites for environmental education from both physical and social stand points. The Canadian Biosphere Reserve Association is the coordinating body which fosters communication and cooperation between individual Reserves. If a network of residential outdoor schools were to be developed within this association framework, it would serve, both to fulfill the Canadian Biosphere Reserve Associations mandate to support environmental education and would help partially alleviate the lack of adequate environmental education facilities in Canada today.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Les immigrés originaires de Turquie comptent parmi les diasporas les plus étudiées à l'échelle internationale. Pourtant, ils ne semblent pas avoir fait l'objet de considérations scientifiques dans tous les contextes nationaux où ils se trouvent. À cet égard, l'état des connaissances sur les immigrés turcs et de Turquie dans l'espace nord-américain demeure largement lacunaire. Quant à leur présence au Canada, pays d'immigration s'il en fut, elle constitue un sujet inexploré. La présente thèse vise à combler cette lacune. Les questions qui la guident dépassent toutefois l'aspect purement statistique et historique de la présence turque au Canada. Outre le fait d'offrir un premier bilan sociodémographique de cette population en contexte canadien et de son histoire migratoire, cette thèse contribue à la compréhension de l'ethnicité immigrée et des forces participant à sa construction et à son organisation. Elle propose une analyse de la construction sociale de l'ethnicité et des processus au cours desquels s'organise une communauté sur une base ethnique au sein de la population immigrée de Turquie établie à Montréal, milieu urbain multiethnique caractérisé par sa "double majorité linguistique", francophone et anglophone. L'analyse se déploie à partir d'une problématisation centrale de la notion de "communauté ethnique" qu'elle propose d'appréhender en scindant ses dimensions identitaire, organisationnelle et politique, et s'interroge spécifiquement sur les motivations sociales des immigrés originaires de Turquie à s'organiser en communauté ethnique et sur les facteurs agissant de façon incitative ou dissuasive sur ces processus. Une des conclusions majeures a trait à la multiplicité et à l'interaction des facteurs agissant sur les modes d'organisation et de représentation collectives observés dans ce milieu immigré spécifique. Les facteurs identifiés tombent dans l'une des trois catégories de relations sociales posées comme centrales à la construction et à l'organisation de l'ethnicité immigrée, à savoir les rapports intracommunautaires, les rapports interminoritaires et les rapports majoritaires/minoritairesMigrants from Turkey are among the most studied diasporas in the world. Nonetheless they do not seem to have caught the attention of social scientists in every national context in which they are present. For instance, Turkish immigration in North-America is barely documented, even less so studied. In Canada, this subject has simply remained unexplored. The present thesis is intended to fill this gap. Yet, questions central to this research cannot be confined to statistical or historical aspects of migration from Turkey in Canada. In addition to providing the first socio-demographic survey of this population and its migratory history in Canada, this study aims at fostering a better understanding of migrant ethnicity and of factors contributing to its construction and organization in an urban setting - in this case Montreal, a multiethnic metropolis caracterized by its "double linguistic majority", Francophone and Anglophone. Those factors might be structural, conjonctural, related to society of origin as well as to that of settlement. Rather than taking the notion of "ethnic community" for granted, the analysis depicts the concept by distinguishing three distinct pillars: collective identity, group organization and political action. It then examines the social motivations of migrants from Turkey to organize themselves into an ethnic community, as well as the factors acting upon these processes in an encouraging or discouraging way. A major conclusion relates to the multiplicity and interaction of factors influencing modes of collective organization and representation observed among this specific immigrant population. Factors that have been identified belong to one of the three categories of social relationships central to the construction and organisation of migrant ethnicity in this milieu, i. E. Intracommunal relations, interminority relations and majority/minority relations

Button, David B. "Canadian Forces families : social impacts of accommodation policy". Thesis, University of British Columbia, 1988. http://hdl.handle.net/2429/27849.
Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Since World War II the Canadian military community has evolved to meet the needs of a permanent military force and has changed from the preserve of the single male to include women and families. Thus the Department of National Defence (DND) has become concerned with the welfare of military families as an integral part of military preparedness.
A variety of accommodation policies were formulated and programs established to satisfy the needs of these families who worked and lived in such a unique environment. These policies and programs have emphasised housing and related infrastructure, and included both physical and social services. They have, in part, enabled DND to relieve many family related problems despite the disruptive lifestyle.
However, as a result of evolutionary changes in the Canadian Forces, the lifestyle of Canadians and the general economic situation, concern has arisen that current DND policies relating to housing and service provision may no longer be appropriate or effective.
This thesis looks at the lifestyle and unique difficulties of military families in order to evaluate the social impacts on the families resulting from accommodation policy. Although the general question of whether DND should even be in the business of creating and maintaining its own communities is complex and requires the consideration of many factors, this thesis limits itself to the social impacts of accommodation policies. Since it is generally perceived that social concerns have received limited consideration in the past, this thesis develops a framework to consider and include such concerns. This is done through: secondary research of analogous civilian communities and other military communities; primary data from recent DND family studies; informal interviews with families and decision-makers in the military community; and, the personal experience of the author as a member of the military community.
There are four main findings. First, a framework based on Lichfield's Planning Balance Sheet methodology is a suitable and appropriate tool for assisting decision-makers in making informed choices. Second, the creation of a Non-Public Housing Society responding to DND but operated at arms-length, is seen as a viable housing policy alternative which deserves further study. Third, the social impacts on military families resulting from the municipalization of physical services are not significant. And fourth,.; social services when provided internally appear more successful.
The unique lifestyle of military families is linked to operational effectiveness and military preparedness through the work/family environment. The importance of social planning on this interface is emphasized to encourage decision-makers to explicitly incorporate social planning into the decision-making process. The Planning Balance Sheet methodology is suggested as an appropriate one for this purpose.Applied Science, Faculty of

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Introduction. Despite increased metabolic demands, infantry soldiers are known to not eat enough during military manoeuvres. We undertook this study to examine food provided and consumed by male soldiers in the Canadian Forces in operational environments to examine and potentially improve their nutrition.Methods. Subjects recorded their food intakes using dietary questionnaires during two exercises. The adequacy of dietary intake and the nutrient value of foods offered were assessed against Dietary Reference Intakes (DRI).
Results. Soldiers did not consume enough energy, carbohydrate, fibre, folate, vitamin C, potassium and calcium compared to operational requirements. The combat rations provided less than the recommended DRI for some nutrients. Food sources of nutrients were examined.
Discussion. We recommend increasing the quantity of easy-to-eat nutrient-dense foods while decreasing sodium content. To optimize nutrition and combat readiness, new products rich in carbohydrate, potassium, folate and calcium need to be added.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Ce travail, qui s’intéresse principalement aux politiques linguistiques canadiennes, se situe à la frontière entre la sociolinguistique et la sociologie de l’éducation. Il aborde, à travers une étude des politiques d’enseignement de trois langues asiatiques dans les écoles publiques et les écoles communautaires de Vancouver, en Colombie-Britannique, le problème plus large de l’articulation entre les politiques linguistiques de la province et les politiques multiculturelles canadiennes. Il s’agit ici d’explorer ce que la place de ces langues, dans ces deux types d’institutions, l’une publique et l’autre privée, nous révèle en termes de reconnaissance de la diversité culturelle et linguistique caractéristique de la ville de Vancouver. Afin de mieux comprendre en quoi ces politiques constituent un facteur d’intégration et participent de la redéfinition d’un vivre ensemble au sein d’une société plurielle, nous mettons en perspective les textes de politique officielle avec les réalités de terrain et tentons ainsi de confronter les théories aux pratiques multiculturelles. D’un point de vue méthodologique, nous nous basons sur des corpus de données à la fois quantitatives, issues du Ministère de l’Education et de la Commission Scolaire de Vancouver, et qualitatives issues d’une série d’entretiens effectués sur place. Cet éventail de personnes interviewées, qui s’est délibérément voulu large, concerne des personnes impliquées dans la formulation et la mise en oeuvre des politiques linguistiques ainsi que des personnes engagées, à titre divers, dans l’enseignement des langues issues de l’immigrationThis study, which focuses primarily on Canadian language policy, combines a sociolinguistic perspective with an educational approach. More specifically, it is concerned with the educational policy surrounding the teaching of three Asian languages in Vancouver’s public and community schools and aims at exploring the relationship between British Columbia’s language policy and Canadian multicultural policy. What can the analysis of the status of these languages, in both types of educational institutions, tell us about a politics of recognition in a culturally and linguistically diverse setting? In order to gain a better understanding of how educational and language policy can constitute a factor of integration and contribute to the redefinition of a sense of togetherness within a plural society, we attempt to put both language policy and its implementation in the field into perspective, and thereby confront the theories and practices of multicultural policy. From a methodological point of view, our analysis is based on both quantitative data, provided by the Ministry of Education and the Vancouver School Board, as well as qualitative data, which arise from a series of interviews completed locally. The choice of a wide variety of people interviewed was deliberate. Were involved people implicated in the formulation and implementation of language policy at the provincial and local levels as well as people involved, in various capacities, in the teaching of a number of Asian languages in Vancouver

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
This thesis is the first major study of censorship of and in English Canadian literature. While there are several reasons scholars have focused on censorship in Europe and the United States, it is the ascendancy in quality and quantity of Canadian writing leading to its further use in institutions where censorship takes place---such as schools and libraries---that necessitates a study of censorship in Canadian literature now. This rise in censorship has prompted Canadian authors increasingly to write about the subject. In this thesis I study censorship issues raised both explicitly md implicitly by Timothy Findley, Margaret Atwood, Margaret Laurence, Beatrice Culleton and Marlene Nourbese Philip. All of these writers have been subjected to censorship attacks and have responded to these attacks and grappled with the philosophical implications of censorship in their fiction and non-fiction. My investigation of censorship in these texts sheds new light on the works of literature themselves, but the literary texts also suggest a new way of looking at censorship. Each of my chapters offers arguments challenging the traditional Enlightenment model of censorship as an oppressive government practice against its citizens, a definition resulting in the mistaken views that censorship has been largely eradicated in the West and that, when it does surface, it is to be condemned on principle. This view can be contrasted with a "constructivist" model of censorship as the delegitimation of expression by social forces. My findings support a definition which draws on both models wherein censorship is the exclusion of some discourse as the result of a judgment by an authoritative agent based on some ideological predisposition. The key word in this definition is "judgment" which, when recognized as the primary activity in censorship, must change the way we approach censorship controversies. For if censorship is the exercise of judgment, and judgment is enmeshed in the fabric of huma

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
The transition from an industrial to a global knowledge-based economy has put universities in the spotlight of public policies as the new drivers of innovation and sustained economic growth. Consequently, societal expectations towards the academic community have changed and so has, under the influence of neo-liberal ideas, the public governance of higher education. This is particularly true in federalist systems, such as Germany, Australia and the European Union, where the roles of each government level in governing the higher education sector had to be renegotiated and clarified. In Canada, however, despite repeated recommendations by policymakers, scholars and international organisations, the respective responsibilities have not yet been clarified and, to date, there are still no mechanisms to coordinate the post-secondary education policies of the federal and provincial governments. This paper inquires into the reasons for this exception. In the academic literature, this has generally been explained in terms of Canada’s uniqueness with respect to its federalist system and the decentralized higher education sector. We attempt to go beyond this traditional federalism, state-centered approach, which is predominant in the Canadian higher education literature. Instead, based on interviews and official documents and inspired by the Advocacy Coalition Framework (ACF), we shall be looking at the belief systems of the major actors in the policy process and the degree of coordination among them. Our analysis comes to the conclusion that, on the one hand, proponents of a pan-Canadian approach are divided over their fundamental beliefs regarding the compatibility of inclusiveness and excellence. Some argue that the federal government must legislate common standards to ensure equal opportunities for all Canadians. Others propose a New Governance-inspired approach to create a differentiated and competitive university sector that meets the demands of the global knowledge-based economy more efficiently. On the other hand, even though the provinces differ in their beliefs regarding the equal opportunity versus economic efficiency debate, they share the same strong belief with respect to the role of the federal government. According to this view, post-secondary education is exclusively a provincial responsibility and the role of the federal government is solely to help them ‘fix the problems’. Moreover, contrary to the proponents of more intergovernmental collaboration, the provinces have successfully strengthened the coordination among themselves to block further perceived federal intrusions into provincial jurisdiction. We come to the conclusion that the absence of intergovernmental mechanisms to govern post-secondary education is a consequence of the diverging belief systems and the establishment of formal coordination structures among the provinces to block – as they perceive - further federal intrusions. Also, there is less of a sense of urgency to act compared to, say, health care. Finally, remembering the near-separation of Quebec in 1995, there is very little appetite to reopen the constitutional debates. Therefore, based on our analysis, we argue that contrary to suggestions by some higher education scholars, the establishment of intergovernmental coordinating mechanisms appears unlikely in the near future.

La philosophie est contingence pure. Elle estime ne pas connaître toutes les ambiguïtés du langage que l’existence accueille en son sein. La philosophie postmoderniste n’a aucunement la prétention de faire prévaloir une connaissance déterministe, mais bien au contraire, elle relativise la connaissance. Ce relativisme culturel se fie plus aux propositions que l’Art construit. L’art, en effet, est la forme la plus profonde de l’expression humaine. La philosophie postmoderniste est donc avantageusement empathique dans la progression de sa recherche esthétique. La Poétique est avant tout une oeuvre d’art qui n’imite pas seulement la nature mais qui la sublime en la reconstruisant : la métaphysique aurait beaucoup à apprendre du langage poétique. Le langage poétique est une singularité exclusive donnant naissance à des sens et significations sémantiques nouveaux. Quant à l’ironie elle devient révolutionnaire dans sa forme la plus épurée car elle est caustique et sarcastiquePhilosophy is pure contingency. It considers it does not know all the ambiguities of language that existence involves. Postmodernist philosophy does not pretend to emphasize a deterministic knowledge, but on the contrary, it keeps knowledge in proportion. This cultural relativism relies more on proposals that Art build. Art, in fact, is the deepest form of human expression. Postmodernist philosophy is therefore advantageously empathetic in the progression of its aesthetic research. Poetics is primarily a work of art which does not only imitate nature but which also sublimates it by rebuilding it: metaphysics could learn a lot from poetic language. Poetic language is an exclusive singularity giving birth to new senses and new semantic meanings. As for the irony, it becomes revolutionary in its purest form because it is caustic and sarcastic

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Face à la réalité de l'immigration et au défi qu'elle pose à la plupart des sociétés industrialisées contemporaines, on assiste depuis peu à l'émergence d'un débat portant sur la fragilité de la cohésion nationale. Le Canada, bien que reconnaissant officiellement la diversité culturelle comme l'un des pôles de son identité collective, souhaite aujourd'hui formuler de nouvelles propositions du " vivre ensemble ". La nature du discours social dans la province du Québec est tout aussi identique : après s'être employé à définir pendant de nombreuses années le terrain relationnel de la majorité francophone et des minorités issues de l'immigration, le Québec invite désormais tous ses résidents, quelle que soit leur origine, à participer à un même projet national et à devenir des " citoyens québécois ". L'état des connaissances sur la vision " immigrante " de ces récentes réorientations idéologiques demeure trop fragmentaire. La présente thèse vise ainsi à recueillir les perceptions d'une population établie à Montréal et dite " visible ", la population hai͏̈tienne, sur la société pluraliste québécoise et en particulier sur le thème de la citoyenneté comme nouvelle solution gestionnaire des rapports sociaux. Que signifie en effet la citoyenneté québécoise pour les membres de la communauté hai͏̈tienne immigrés au cours des années 1960 et 1970 ? Au regard de leurs expériences de socialisation hétérogènes, très souvent dictées par des formes diffuses de discrimination, quels types de liens sont-ils à présent susceptibles de développer à l'égard de la société civile, de la nation et de l'État ? Ce sont à ces questions essentielles que nous tenterons de répondreFacing the challenge of immigration in most contemporary industrial societies, one has been recently noticing the emergence of a debate dealing with the weakness of national cohesion. Despite its official acknowledgment of cultural diversity as one pillar of its mass identity, today Canada wants to define new proposals of " living together ". In Quebec the nature of social discourse is similar : after many years of definitions of social relations between the francophone majority and the immigrant minorities, now Quebec is inviting its residents to share a common national project to become " Quebec " citizens ", regardless of their origins. Yet one does not know much about the immigrants'judgments on these recent ideological reorientations. The current thesis is aiming at collecting the perceptions of a " visible minority " established in Montreal, the Haitian community, on the pluralist Quebec society and especially on the theme of citizenship as a new way of social relations management. What does " Quebec citizenship " mean for members of the Haitian community who immigrated in the 1960's and in the 1970's ? Considering their various socialization experiences which are often linked to vague discriminatory behaviours, what types of links are they developping towards the civil society, the nation and the state ? These are some questions we will try to answer

Au Canada, les lieux historiques dits nationaux, conservés et mis en valeur, sont voués à la commémoration d'un thème de l'histoire du pays. Aménagés dans une volonté d'éducation populaire propre à l'interprétation du patrimoine, ils constituent un réseau géré par l'organisme fédéral parcs Canada et accueillent des groupes scolaires a l'occasion de la mise en œuvre de nombreux programmes éducatifs prenant la forme d'activités variées, animées par un guide-interprète. L'objet de cette thèse est de proposer un cadre d'analyse pouvant fonder l'évaluation de ces programmes, tenant compte de l'articulation des milieux éducatifs formel et non-formel. Le modèle systémique de la situation pédagogique (Legendre, 1983) reconnaissant l'influence du milieu sur les interrelations des composantes de l'objet, de l'agent et du sujet, décrites par les relations didactique, d'enseignement et d'apprentissage, a servi de principe-directeur d'une étude de cas menée dans trois lieux historiques au Québec. La révision du modèle initial a permis d'identifier et de spécifier les composantes de la situation engendrée par la mise en œuvre d'un programme éducatif, i. E. Le lieu historique aménagé, la thématique, l'agent d'interprétation et le sujet-visiteur. Des relations de transposition, de support et d'appropriation s'établissent entre ces trois dernières composantes. De nouvelles relations ont été identifiées entre le lieu et ces composantes, i. E. Les relations de pertinence (thématique-lieu); d'engagement (agent d'interprétation-lieu); et d'orientation physique et conceptuelle (sujet-lieu). Une relation s'établit entre le lieu et le contexte social par la transposition muséologique d'un objet de commémoration. Les relations curriculaire et de concertation unissent les agents et les objets des milieux scolaire et patrimonial. Enfin, une relation de coopération s'installe entre l'agent d'interprétation et l'intervenant d'une autre organisation.
