From the author: Cet article de synthese explore la pertinence d'etudier les geographies historiques des femmes autochtones dans le Nord du Quebec. Il se donne egalement pour but de presenter des pistes de recherche. L'article part de l'hypothese qu'il est impossible de comprendre les geographies historiques et contemporaines des economies de subsistance sans mener des recherches sur le role que les femmes y ont joue. Par ailleurs, nous approfondissons la reflexion sur la facon dont les geographies du passe sont reconstituees par les geographes historiens, tant d'un point de vue epistemologique que methodologique. La geographie historique, comme discipline, s'est surtout consacree a l'etude de la rencontre des immigrants europeens avec ce qui etait pour eux des societes et territoires du <>; par consequent, les geographies des femmes et des autochtones ont beaucoup moins retenu l'attention. Les nouveaux chercheurs devraient tenter de combler ce deficit de connaissances. Se basant sur une approche multidisciplinaire, procedant du general au particulier, ma demarche se fait en trois etapes. Premierement, j'identifie les debats importants entourant les etudes sur le genre et les femmes autochtones dans le contexte colonial. Deuxiemement, je presente une recension de la litterature ethnographique existante sur les femmes cries de l'Est du Canada et evalue les connaissances sur les pratiques feminines au sein de l'economie traditionnelle. Troisiemement, je propose des pistes de recherche specifiques a explorer pour l'etude des geographies historiques--qui inclut, selon moi, les lieux, pratiques et paysages--des femmes autochtones du Nord du Quebec.

From the author: Au Quebec, plusieurs groupes d'acteurs travaillent a structurer un projet d'avenir pour le monde rural La question identitaire traverse leurs reflexions. Le rapport au territoire est concu comme un trait specifique de l'identite rurale contemporaine. Par ailleurs, le paysage offre un cadre de reference pertinent a l'analyse de cette identite faconnee par les acteurs. Cela suppose que, d'un point de vue theorique, le paysage soit envisage selon une approche constructiviste, qui va au-dela des formes visibles pour englober aussi les references aux pratiques territoriales et les intentions des acteurs sociaux, de meme que des dimensions immaterielles, telles les representations et l'affectivite. En d'autres mots, le paysage est ici defini comme un construit social. En confrontant ce cadre de reference a une enquete realisee dans un village d'une region du Quebec, nous avons constate que les acteurs locaux lisent le paysage a partir de criteres endogenes, c'est-a-dire propres a leur vecu territorial. Pour ces acteurs, le paysage agit a la fois comme agent de mediation et de communication de meme qu'il participe a la construction de l'etre-ensemble.

Description:
Public opinion polls from before and after 2001 in Quebec (Canada) reveal a marked shift during that year in attitudes about the US. Quebecois opinions of the US fell to the least favorable rating they had had in 15 years. A ''fair weather friend'' phenomenon based on fear of association with a target state does not fully explain Quebec's reaction. Consideration of Quebec's historical geographical situation as a small nation without a sovereign state suggests deeper reasons for the shift in perspective, which are confirmed by quantitative and qualitative analysis of letters to the editor of daily newspapers. Quebecois letters about the attacks of September 11 were inclined to frame these attacks in terms of a battle between a large and powerful state and various small and weak nations, and subsequently to find common cause with the small nations. This particular framing of the 9-11 events according to a ''small-nation'' code reflected fundamental elements of the historical-geographical situation of Quebec as constructed in Quebecois discourses. The activation of a set of key associations from the national past to understand international relations in the present is an example of what Gertjan Dijkink calls the ''national reflex''. The activation of the reflex by an attack on the US points out how a hegemonic state can be vulnerable, paradoxically, as a result of its own supremacy. ... Read more
