Appel – Colloque « La télévision québécoise dans tous ses états »

Colloque organisé par Pierre Barrette (CRILCQ à l’UQAM) et Stéfany Boisvert.

Chicoutimi, 8-10 mai 2018, dans le cadre du 86e congrès de l’ACFAS, Université du Québec à Chicoutimi

Le colloque « La télévision québécoise dans tous ses états » proposera un état des lieux des télévisions au Québec en 2018, à l’ère d’une transformation des paysages médiatiques et législatif au pays. Le terme « télévisions » est ici employé au pluriel, afin de tenir compte du fait que la « télévision au Québec » recouvre de nos jours plusieurs réalités ou états distincts. Il sera donc certes question de la production québécoise francophone dominante, mais également de la production anglophone – notamment des séries canadiennes anglaises qui sont de plus en plus souvent tournées à Montréal –, ainsi que des productions télévisuelles autochtones produites au Québec. Plus généralement, cet événement s’intéressera aux trois grands pôles de la communication télévisuelle (production, contenu des émissions, réception), permettant ainsi une analyse multidimensionnelle et interdisciplinaire des enjeux qui touchent la production médiatique dans la province.

CfP: 20th Bienniel CHEA Conference Cultures, Communities and Challenges: Perspectives on the History of Education

October 18-21, 2018, Crowne Plaza | Fredericton, New Brunswick

Canadians spend their formative years in institutions of education. Moreover, they are now expected to be part of a culture of lifelong learning. They are shaped by and in turn shape formal educational structures and informal networks, from scouts to amateur sports, YMCAs to literacy programs. While framed as individual development, educational programming is also centrally about communities and community-building. This is not always an easy relationship, as tensions over community values demonstrate. As a result, education is a site of contention, be it over religious and ethnic differences, language rights, or social and cultural expectations. Presentations at this conference will examine education’s relationship to notions of community and its role in community-building. They will also explore how new educational developments such as insights from neuroscience, the emphasis on social and emotional learning, the consequences of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, or the impact of inclusive education, are reshaping ideals and understandings of community and the enterprise of educational history itself.

Deadline for Proposals: March 1, 2018.
